"Why is this happening?", Durin, who was on a trip around the world, was at a loss when he heard the news, he didn't think that this was the most appropriate time to start a war.

In some ways, the Union is in dire trouble, with the collapse of the financial order, economic regression, and the disgrace of refugee-like citizens, many of whom cannot afford to eat. It is an economic powerhouse, but because of a financial tsunami, the economy has been set back by ten years, which is already the weakest time in recent years.

Some very facilitative sentences are often followed by a twist, which is called a but.

However, precisely because the Federation is now in trouble, it is not necessary to sow the clouds of war at this time. The simple reason is that if left unchecked, it may take longer for the federal federation to gradually recover, to re-prosper the market, and to re-stabilize the financial order. In the process, the country will gradually and slowly undergo some changes to adapt to the present and the future. It may take five to ten years for the Federation to regain its current appearance without outside interference, but this does not mean that the Federation is a weak country.

The depreciation of the currency and the intensification of inflation are ultimately due to the fact that the additional currency is issued, and the national credit system cannot support the value of the federal shield, and the depreciation of the value of money does not mean that the value of gold, silver, copper and iron has also depreciated, and it does not mean that one material was needed to make a shell before, but now it needs three or five copies. Everything was actually there, and the only thing that became worthless was the federal shield, not anything else.

If there is an external interference, the whole federation will unite, and the founding family will have monopoly power in the war, and this time there will be no consortium to interfere with them and influence them, and they will be able to concentrate more on getting rid of all the enemies inside, and in a rude and barbaric way, they will directly vaporize them, and then unite with the outside world. When the popular will is all on the side of the federal wartime government, there is a terrible thing that erupts, and that is productivity.

When people no longer need the factories and the state to pay them, they are willing to work.

When people no longer care about what they gain and what they lose, everyone fights to resist the invaders.

The unprecedented cohesion of the federal wartime government allowed the federal wartime government to completely control the human and material resources of the whole society, and had a lot of privileges, and the financial economy that they might have taken a long time to recover would soon recover after the war, especially when the impact of the war and the personal honor and disgrace and gains and losses became less important, and the power of the whole society was enough to change many things.

The outbreak of war at this time is completely sending benefits to the Federation!

The diplomat of the small country who was chatting with him shook his head with a wry smile, "The situation is still uncertain, I heard that it was the soldiers of the Federation who robbed the property of the imperial merchants and killed several merchants, but they didn't kill all ......", this is a bit cold-blooded, if they were all killed, there would be no such thing, but after all, it still happened, the diplomat sighed and continued, " The Empire demanded that the Federation hand over the murderer, but the Federation refused to admit that such a thing had been done, and both sides stepped up patrols and defenses on the border, and then ......"

Although the border line is important in peacetime, it is impossible for every inch of land to be guarded, and most of the time there is only the earth and the sky left on the border line in addition to the regular patrol team. However, after falling into a state of tension, the number of people patrolling the border becomes more numerous, and it is inevitable that they will run into the other party's patrol. According to the folk saying, the border line, which had nothing to do, has now become tense, and those soldiers who work overtime on patrol are not very comfortable, and they will inevitably blow their beards and stare when they meet, and then have a quarrel.

Soldiers are always a little bloody, especially since the Empire and the Federation still have a history of war, so I don't know which key person fired the first shot, and things become confusing.

Now the Empire is demanding that the Federation hand over the soldiers who robbed the merchants, and also demand that the Federation hand over the patrol squad that took the lead in firing and let them go to the Empire's court-martial. Such requests are indeed a bit excessive, and there would not be much trouble if they were resolved privately, but these requests were formally sent out in the form of a diplomatic note, and it was impossible for the Federation to agree to them.

When the stalemate continued, the top official of the Imperial Ministry of Defense claimed in front of many reporters that if necessary, the Empire would seek justice for the dead border guards through armed war. And it is better for the Federation to hand over the people, so as to avoid greater and more terrible consequences for the two countries because of some personal mistakes.

The more people know, the less likely it is that the Federation will hand over people, and not only that, the Federation also claims that it is the Empire that should hand over people, and all this is a conspiracy of the Empire, reversing black and white. If the Empire does not apologize to the Commonwealth and hand it over, the Commonwealth is not afraid of war.

The two sides are on the border, and the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger, and a large-scale war may break out anytime and anywhere. Now the Imperial Southerners have begun to move north, almost emptying the five cities immediately adjacent to the Federation. The Cabinet, which has just made a fortune from the federal sea, has a lot of money, and has also given resettlement fees and measures, and it is said that the largest number of people have been resettled to the west!

"If the negotiations in three days do not reach a consensus ......," the diplomat smiled bitterly again, "there may really be a war!"

The war between the Empire and the Federation would be a disaster for these small countries, first of all, they need to take sides, whether they send troops or not, in short, they need to take sides. It doesn't matter if you stand wrong, anyway, in the future, you will be a small country at the bottom, and if you stand right, it won't be much good, at most it's to get some money or something, and don't think about anything else. The consequences of defeat are too serious, and victory is not necessarily much good, real fuckup!

At this moment, all small countries feel helpless and sad, their national strength is not strong, they have no status in diplomacy, they will always only have the right to choose, and they have no right to let others choose.

Durin also sighed, and he asked, "Do you think war will break out?"

The diplomat nodded, "It's likely to erupt, you know, the empire and the federation have a long history, and there is no shortage of main battle factions in the cabinet and society......"

The invasion of a small second-rate empire has become a shame that cannot be washed away by the people of the empire, and society advocates great revanchism, and now that the opportunity has come, there will always be some people who will make trouble. There have been many parades in the Empire, especially some veterans, dressed in washed and white-haired military uniforms and wearing military medals, standing outside the town halls of various places, holding large gatherings of veterans, demanding that the Cabinet and the Union go to war, and they are willing to rush to the front at the first time to release the hatred of the past.

A faint sadness made Durin have no intention of continuing the conversation, and he closed the door after saying goodbye to the diplomat.

"I have to do something!", after leaving those worries behind, he began to think about how to gain more advantages in this war, people are willing to start war, advocate revanchism, this is a big trend, he will not go against this trend, then he has to go with the trend. After thinking about it for a while, he picked up the phone and was about to dial out, but quickly put it down again. Since you want to do it, you should do it to the point that everyone knows it, otherwise you won't be able to reflect your own value.

In the days that followed, Durin sped up his "travel process" in the Northern Continent, and as he went to each country, he would publicize the barbarism and cruelty of the Federation's invasion of the empire without a declaration of war, and he also had some old photographs and interview transcripts obtained, and rented an exhibition hall for exhibition. Of course, these photos are fake, cameras from more than 20 years ago are not so clear, and many of them have been destroyed or naturally damaged, except for a few that have been preserved. While holding such exhibitions, Durin spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of supplies to aid the Imperial Army and Navy.

Maggs shook his head and didn't say anything after knowing the news, anyway, as long as this little thing saw the benefits, he would definitely not let it go.

The inside story of the federal financial tsunami had already been exposed, and Duhring's personal image had reached a new level in the Empire, and he bribed a large number of newspapers to promote himself, touting himself as an Imperial hero who won the Federation with an "economic war". Many civil society organizations are showing solidarity with Durin, and even the silent church has come forward to award Dulin a Purple Star Medal of Glory in recognition of his contribution to the empire.

Now he is using "his own money" to aid the imperial military, which has led to a culture of donations in the society, especially the townspeople's associations, which openly collect donations everywhere and place fixed donation boxes, with the words "Even if you donate only one dollar, it will become a bullet that takes the life of the enemy" and similar inflammatory slogans. But everyone eats this set very much, plus these people are still promoting Durin's past and present, a young man who is full of self-improvement and has realized the dream of empire comes to life, this is simply a fuck off, using this opportunity to advertise himself.

Effect...... It's still good, every day a large number of donations are remitted to the account of the Ministry of Defense through the hometown association and other civil organizations, and looking at this money, many people already know the answer, war will definitely break out.

The reason is actually very simple, if the cabinet is not inclined to war, they will not accept these civilian war donations, which will not benefit at all except to find scolding. Only if the cabinet wants war and decides to fight it, will they accept the donation with peace of mind.

Of course, this is only the good side, there are always two sides to everything, there are people who are willing to go to war, and there are people who are not willing to go to war.
