"Uh-huh......" Seeing that all the high-level officials present were listening attentively, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, and after clearing his throat, he said confidently: "Advisor Menyan's previous judgment of the situation is basically correct, with the current situation, a big war that will affect the entire ninja world will break out sooner or later!"

However, we must not look at one thing too one-sidedly, and if we want to look to the future, we must look to the past.

Have you ever wondered why the situation in the ninja world is so tense, and why the martial arts faction can raise its head? What is the root cause of this?"

A group of Konoha high-level people looked at each other, do you still need to ask this question? Isn't it the leaders of the countries and ninja villages who want to expand their territory in order to satisfy their own ambitions? This kind of thing has not stopped since the Warring States period! But looking at this person's look, things don't seem to be that simple?

Wise people are thoughtful, and even those who do not understand do not speak rashly.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Rope Shu knew that he was going to teach (pretend) lessons to these natives again, so he stopped selling Guan Zi and said directly: "Maybe everyone thinks that countries are fighting for territory, but I want to say that this is just a superficial phenomenon!" The real reason is the word profit!

Since the first Hokage ended the Sengoku Rebellion and established the Ninja Village, the countries of the ninja world have entered a long-term confrontation, and the territories of each country have not changed except for the Vortex Country War four years ago!

In fact, the domestic attachment of the vortex is a special case that is unlikely to be repeated! Because the country of Vortex is the only country that is completely controlled by the ninja family, it is impossible for a country that pursues the triple balance of the daimyo, the ninja village, and the merchants.

Not to mention far away, let's just say how fierce was the first ninja war? Has any small nation ever perished? And which great power has succeeded in expanding its territory?

Now the situation in the ninja world can be summed up by the top four, this super refers to the country of fire and Konoha Village, and the top four are the other four countries and the ninja village.

Any one of these five great powers can easily wipe out a small neighboring country, and we in Konoha even have the strength to destroy a strong country!

But now the five major powers check and balance each other, and Konoha can also confront the entire ninja world with his own strength, so no matter what the victory or defeat of the war, each country will not allow any major country to expand its territory and enhance its strength, and the country of fire, which is the largest country, and Konoha is even more targeted by all countries.

Even if the power of the Nine-Tails is lost, the battle of the Vortex Country four years ago is enough to prove that Konoha's strength is the best in the ninja world, and the most promising one to expand the territory through the war is the Fire Country!

Knowing that it is almost impossible to gain territory through war, why is the entire ninja world, both large and small, including the Daimyo of the Fire Country, desperate to start a war?"

After hearing the detailed analysis of the rope tree, the Konoha high-level people sitting there have a clear understanding of the situation in the ninja world, it turns out that the countries are fighting back and forth, and no one can win the final victory, so it seems that it is the best choice for everyone to maintain the status quo and maintain peace, so why do you have to fight to the death? Could it be that the top leaders of all countries are nervous together?

Menyan nodded and said, "Rope tree, I understand what you mean. In fact, territorial expansion is just a slogan for various countries, and there is another reason for starting a war, is it because of economic problems?"

Rope Tree nodded in agreement and said, "What Elder Menyan said is completely correct! The reason why countries want to go to war is to solve the economic crisis! The same goes for us, the Fire Nation! ”

Hearing that Rope Tree said this, the high-level people present were a little confused, so why did it involve economic issues again? And isn't the economy of the Fire Nation very good?

"Minister Rope Tree, I wonder what you mean by the economic crisis? As far as I know, since the establishment of the Konoha Foundation, the financial situation of various countries has improved greatly.

And a few years ago, Konoha and the Fire Nation received a large amount of war reparations, if there is an economic crisis, it should be other countries, how can the Fire Nation be involved?" In the past few years, Tuanzang has been obsessed with the economic strategy proposed by the rope tree, and he thinks that he has gained a lot, so he can't help but ask.

Konoha higher-ups also whispered:

"That's right! Hasn't the consortium developed very well in the past few years?"

"Konoha is also getting more and more prosperous!"

"The living conditions of the villagers are getting better and better!"

"But why did Minister Rope Tree say that the Fire Nation had an economic crisis?"

"Could it be a mistake?"

"I don't understand it either, but Lord Rope is called Skywalker, and he founded this economic strategy and the Konoha Foundation, so you shouldn't be mistaken, right?"

……

Rope shook his head and said, "The so-called economic crisis does not mean a fiscal deficit!

On the contrary, countries with good fiscal positions usually have overcapacity and deflation, two important features of economic crises! ”

"Overcapacity? Deflation?" Everyone present repeated these two new terms one after another, unbelievably strong.

As a half-bucket of water, the rope tree is actually not very good at far-reaching professional knowledge, but it has only been learned on the Internet, but it is enough to fool this layman, "cough cough...... These are two common concepts in economics, simply put, the unreasonable economic structure produces an excess of goods in excess of demand, which leads to a decline in the price level, or even unsalable goods. In this way, the merchants will not be able to make a profit, they will have to stop production, and the workers and civilians will lose their jobs and be unable to buy goods, and this vicious circle will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire economic system! ”

After listening to Rope Tree's explanation, there was silence in the conference room, except for the two advisors and the Nara patriarch, most of them seemed to understand, but in order to show that they were not fools, most of them nodded without knowing how to pretend to understand.

Of course, the three generations who were the Hokage felt that this matter had to be clarified, so they didn't care about any face, so they shamelessly asked, "Rope tree...... Can you elaborate on that? We don't quite understand it yet. ”

Rope Tree glanced at the high-level executives who were also a little confused, and patiently explained: "It's really hard to understand a simple theory, let me give you an example, you can understand!"

For example, my country of fire is rich in food, not only the people are rich, but it also trades with other countries and earns a lot of profits! Especially the land of the wind and the land of the earth, which lack food! ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, the country of fire is a big country producing grain, there is nothing wrong with it!

"Since food makes money, the civilians of my Fire Country produce it in large quantities, and in recent years, food production has risen again and again, not only in my country, but also in the country of wind and earth, which were originally short of food! Now the price of food in the entire ninja world is falling seriously, especially in the country of fire, the price of food has fallen to one or two pounds of silver, and it can't even be sold, and the food will deteriorate after a long time, and a large number of civilians will lose money because of this. Although you can survive on food, you can't buy other goods without wages, and the whole economy will collapse in a long time! ”

Konoha higher-level officials changed their faces when they heard this, and they obviously realized the seriousness of the matter.

"In addition to food, there are many commodities in the Fire Nation that face the same problem! For example, the price of wood is not as good as the shipping cost!

And the major countries have their own specialties, such as the minerals of the Land Country, the medicinal herbs of the Land of Thunder, and even the gold of the Wind Country is depreciating! ”
