Chapter 509 Changes in the Situation in Various Countries on
Unlike the negative response of small and medium-sized countries, the attitude of the four major powers is much more positive, and they have all made their own strategic adjustments after repeated research and discussion.
First of all, the country of the wind, after the three generations of the three generations of wind shadows fled back to their homeland, Encore convened the high-level to discuss countermeasures, they no longer had a choice, no matter how they looked at Konoha they would not let them go. So while actively defending, they also frantically asked for help from the outside world, in addition to the three countries, there are also Uchiha Madara who had cooperated before, in short, all the forces that can cooperate are their targets, even the country of birds and the country of ghosts in the north have also become their targets!
The two countries, the Land of Ghosts and the Land of Birds, are small countries, located between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, and the land environment is much better than that of the Land of Wind and Earth.
The country of ghosts is located on the plains, and the country of birds is located next to a large lake, so the agriculture of the two countries is relatively developed, and there is never a shortage of food.
Both the Land of the Wind and the Land covet the rich land of the two countries, but at the same time, they try to prevent the other from obtaining the land of the two countries, and do not want the other to surpass their own national power.
It's easier to do bad than to succeed, so over the years, the two countries have devised countless plans to conquer this rich land in the middle of the border, but they have all failed in the end, and instead allowed the country of ghosts and birds to survive tenaciously in the cracks.
After years of war, the two small and bitter nations have forged close alliances and have used the grain trade as a bargaining chip to establish stable diplomatic relations with them.
After many defeats, the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth both gave up the idea of conquering the land of the two small countries, and simply regarded them as grain importers outside of the Fire Country, and divided the share of the two countries' grain exports equally.
Unfortunately, although the land of the two small countries is rich and suitable for farming, the area is too small to meet the food needs of the two countries.
After the economic crisis in the country of wind and the country of earth, they did not hit the idea on these two small countries, not to mention that the other party would not allow them to monopolize it, even if the two countries divided the resources of the two small countries equally, it would not solve the fundamental problem, it was better to keep the two small countries, and at the last moment they could be used to hang their lives.
Before Konoha imposed an economic blockade on the Land of Rain, due to the impact of the Konoha Foundation, a large grain merchant, there was almost no market for the grain of the Ghost Country and the Bird Country, and a large amount of grain was hoarded in the two countries, and after the outbreak of the war, food became a valuable resource, and the two countries did not resell it in large quantities, but the two major countries were forced to export a small amount of grain under pressure.
Now the reason why the Wind Country has lowered its face and asked the two small countries for help is that they want to buy their grain stocks from the two countries at a high price of gold.
While these won't solve the problem fundamentally, they will at least help the Wind Nation survive for a while.
The country of the first wind did not buy grain from the two countries, but chose to sign a trade treaty with the country of water, first, because they couldn't pull their faces to ask for two small countries, and second, they felt that the grain production of the two countries was too small to satisfy their appetite, not to mention that there was a country of earth to compete with them.
As for robbery, the Wind Country is now greatly weakened, and it is impossible to start a war on both sides and consume valuable troops.
Now that the Land Country has signed a trade treaty with Konoha, it is no longer worth looking at the inventory of the two small countries, coupled with the strength of Konoha now, they will definitely not want the Wind Country to perish, so the Earth Country is likely to give up competing with the Wind Country, if they can monopolize the trade share of the grain stocks between the two countries, then it is still very considerable for the Wind Country, at least enough for them to support it for a few more months.
The country of ghosts and the country of birds were very moved after receiving the request for help from the country of the wind, and if they agreed, they could not only get a lot of profits, but also sell the country of wind a favor.
The only thing to worry about is the reaction of the land country, as for Konoha's side, the two countries are not too worried, the two countries are not adjacent to the country of fire, separated by a country of rain, it is unlikely that Konoha will send troops to attack them at this time, even if it is defeated, it will be an enclave and it can only be cheap rain country.
What's more, the country of wind and the country of earth will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen, once Konoha makes a move against them, then the country of earth will definitely turn against them, and even negotiate peace with the country of thunder, causing the three major countries to besiege Konoha.
Moreover, the food stocks of the two countries are not large, and they cannot completely solve the famine in the Land of Wind, so it is almost impossible for Konoha to start a war against them because of this matter.
Therefore, after receiving the letter of request for help, the two countries immediately asked for advice from the land country.
And as everyone expected, the land country gave up its share of trade.
Since the high-ranking people of the Earth Country knew the true strength of Konoha, they were afraid in their hearts.
They knew that the reason why Skywalker had spared the 40,000 Rock Hidden Ninja Army and two people in the first place was to use them to hold back the Land of Thunder and take time out to destroy the Land of Wind!
Not only were they not worried before, but they were also gloating because of the bad luck of the Wind Country, wishing that Konoha and Sand Hidden would lose both, in their opinion, Konoha would not be so easy to destroy the Wind Country, even if they defeated the Sand Hidden Village, their own strength would be greatly damaged, and then they would not be able to occupy the Wind Country.
Moreover, as long as Shayin holds the hole card of a tail in his hand, he has the capital to negotiate with Konoha, at most, he will give up part of his interests, because in the Mangmang Desert, one tail can even compete with the nine tails, which is why Sand Hidden Village can be listed as one of the five ninja villages, and the situation is similar to that of Wuyin Village, and the strength of the three tails in the marine environment is far beyond that of other tailed beasts.
However, when they learned that the strength of the rope tree and the first and second Hokage were still in the world, their minds changed completely.
He suddenly discovered that Konoha did have the strength to destroy or even occupy the entire Wind Country, and the tailed beast that was their hole card had no meaning in front of Mu Dun, after thinking about this, a sense of fear arose in the hearts of the high-level people of the Earth Country, if the Wind Country was really destroyed, then who would be Konoha's second target?
It must be a country of earth with only 40,000 troops left! Having the advantage of two people's pillar power has no meaning in front of Mu Dun, and for Konoha the least powerful Iwakuin is the weakest existence of the four great powers!
After thinking about this, the earth queen is the country that is the most unwilling to defeat the country of the wind.
But now that the Land Country is facing the invasion of the Land of Thunder, and the food source is choked by Konoha, it really has no ability to support the Land of Wind, and the only thing to do is to give up the share of the grain trade of the two small countries, hoping that the Country of Wind can hold out for a while longer.
At the same time, the country of earth is also secretly preparing for peace talks with the country of thunder, of course, it is not that the country of earth is afraid of the other party, but because it is afraid of Konoha and is unwilling to spend any more time with Yunyin.
In fact, now Yunyin Village is at a disadvantage in the war, they are too far away from the mainland, and the logistical pressure increases greatly if they cross the distance of several countries, because of the long distance, even the retreat is afraid of being pursued and surrounded by the land country. With the power of two pillars, and the three generations of Tsuchikage, who has the ability to fly and the dust, if you make up your mind to hunt down all the way, you can easily inflict a lot of casualties on Yunyin.
Therefore, Yun Yin is now unable to advance or retreat, and can only stay at the border to confront.
