If you want to calm this crisis, the situation on the side of the Red Mountain Kingdom is already roughly clear, and the other side also needs to be actually investigated, listen to it with your own ears and see it with your own eyes, and just read the newspaper after all. Jiao Ming groaned slightly and decided to go back to Tro Ling with Yisi, and agreed to purchase a high-precision ammeter under the guise of purchasing a high-precision ammeter. Jiao Ming wanted to bring Dieda, but unfortunately this time Dieda looked embarrassed and hesitated to answer against the maid's etiquette. Jiao Ming was stunned for an instant, and he didn't want to force him back to a sad place, just a few words of comfort.

After some preparations, a small team of five people sent Tro Ling the next morning. Coming out of the former principal's office building, which still belonged to Jiao Ming, the two went through the official procedures with the procurement documents, and Jiao Mingyi and Ms. Ziyu's bodyguard, a magical warrior of the eight-ring water system in his fifties, went to the streets. And it wasn't until they felt the atmosphere here that Jiao Ming and Yisi realized that things might be really troublesome.

The part of the town center, which is more and more similar to the reinforced concrete forest of the earth, has not only completed more high-rise buildings than the last time Jiao Ming came to install the portal. What made Jiao Ming even more vocal was that not only a few low-rise buildings that had only been completed for two years had become demolition sites, but there were also traffic jams on the roads.

Seeing this, Yi Si asked, and when Jiao Ming explained the situation and the problems behind it, Yi Si and the eight environmental protection darts with a confused face, the former looked more solemn, and the latter thought for two streets before revealing a sudden look, and then sent a few simple words to Jiao Ming that made people suspect that it was ironic.

As for the propaganda about free trade, not to mention the large floating buses and posters about free trade posted all over the street, there are even people standing on wooden boxes to give street speeches, and the audience is quite enthusiastic; after walking around twice, there is a new discovery at the door of a certain movie theater, the name of the newly released movie is actually "The Merchant of Freedom", and the clothes of several possible villains on the large poster have elements of the costumes of the Red Mountain Kingdom.

"Go in and have a look?" Jiao Ming invited the two around him.

"Of course. Eth had already hidden her worry and curled the corners of her mouth in agreement. The eight darts nodded, still silent.

The three of them bought half-price tickets, and Jiao Ming bought some snacks with a full sense of sight, and entered with the crowd. The content of the movie is also very simple, a merchant from the Tro Territory won the heart of a viscount in a place similar to the Red Mountain Kingdom with high-quality and inexpensive goods and a suave figure, and then under the framing of a vicious and black-hearted earl with the idea of collecting people, land and wealth, the two who had just made a private decision for life turned into a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and when they fled from the country with great difficulty, the female protagonist hung up, and the male protagonist broke out a counter-killing chaser and sneaked back to the Earl's Palace, and died together.

When the lights came on at the end of the movie, Jiao Ming turned his head and saw that Yi Si was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister, isn't it?"

There is no need to compare it with a commercial blockbuster in a dock, only with some shoddy tertiary films, this film with obvious traces of rush also has many shortcomings, although Jiao Ming understands, he still can't help but complain about Yisi's 'excessive' reaction.

"You know, if someone could have done this to me, I would have blocked the bullet for him. Yi Si choked back, but because of the reaction of turning on the lights and Jiao Ming, he gradually got out of his sad and sad mood. Of course, in this environment where entertainment methods are scarce and entertainment time is limited, such a blunt statement is completely a true expression of feelings, and will not attract contrived evaluation, after all, most of the female audiences and a small number of male audiences in the theater are like this, and even the eight environmental protection darts are red-eyed.

Jiao Ming rolled his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and just got up and looked around to observe the reactions of the surrounding audience to the movie, and carefully listened to the comments of the crowd. As expected, no one is interested in the nature of the propaganda behind the film, and everyone is discussing the heroes and heroines who end in tragedy.

Anxious but didn't know how to deal with the crying mature woman, Jiao Ming had no choice but to say in a pleading tone: "Sister, crying is almost enough, we still have a task to do." ”

Yi Si snorted coldly, got up and walked out of the screening hall with the flow of people, and calmed down and paid attention to the demeanor, words and deeds of the audience around him with Jiao Ming. After leaving the movie theater, the three of them casually found a restaurant, entered the private room on the second floor and sat down, and after ordering, they hinted to the waiter to step down. ”

Jiao Ming waved his hand to arrange the soundproof qi magic, "You still have the heart to think about this, this is simply sharpening knives." ”

"I don't see it that way. "Even for the most noble and righteous reasons, it is impossible for the people to become fanatical religious believers, and of course they understand that death and injury in war are inevitable, and there must be resistance. ”

"That's true, but Troling is clearly trying to defuse that resistance. ”

"But what I see is that the results of this act of dissolution are limited, and it is not enough to wage a large-scale war against a faraway kingdom of great fame. As she spoke, she walked to the window and looked at the endless stream of flying cars and good spirited pedestrians on the street, and her tone became more and more affirmative. "According to our experience in managing armies in the Red Mountain Kingdom, the blood of a mage soldier is very important, and there is also a desire for an honorary title or something else, so that he can face the battle. But we all know how Tro Ling made his fortune, and the vast majority of the middle and high ring magicians are magic craftsmen who have moved from various places within the United Kingdom.

First of all, these people know best how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it can also be said that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, you must know that generally speaking, the magicians of the Seven Rings can get the title of barony when they go to the army to make a little military exploits. On the other hand, there is a common problem of immigration: lack of loyalty, especially skilled immigrants, who come for a better life and do not miss their homeland, and go because of the turmoil of war, let alone miss the Tro Territory.

If you want to rely on these propaganda alone, let those craftsmen from different countries and regions work hard, of course, the effect is there, but it is obviously not enough. And the multiple military salaries are also of limited use to magicians who have a stable and high-income income. ”

Jiao Ming nodded again and again, with a sense of enlightenment, but after listening to Shen Xuan's speculation, he also found many problems. First of all, the words are all subjective assumptions, and there is no actual visit to the barracks or the support of survey data, which is quite like the feeling of a literati talking on paper. Secondly, it also deviates from the facts.

For example, the difficulties of the Seven Rings magicians and craftsmen to transfer to the military, and even if they are lucky enough to return to the army, if they have no background, the fief must be a rock mountain swamp, and the sealing procedures may be delayed. Another example is the loyalty of immigrants, Yisi obviously does not know what 'voting with his feet' is, relying on the foil of his peers, the superior life of Tro Ling is completely highlighted. If those craftsmen are allowed to choose between going out on the expedition and returning to their homeland to continue to be oppressed, they may not be able to pull up a team that dares to fight.

Immediately afterward, Jiao Ming thought of a more important point, "Don't forget, in this birthplace of the Blue Mist Elixir, it is difficult to guarantee that those fire mages and craftsmen who have obtained chemical knowledge have not developed a more 'powerful' and more suitable doping agent for war. Before the battle, each person will have a bottle, and after the battle, they will cover it up with 'battlefield syndrome', and even the black pot can be shaken clean. ”

"This ......," Eth hesitated, not knowing how to answer. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, but it was the waiter who delivered the food, and Jiao Ming immediately opened up to eat, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere.

The two water magic warriors ate a sea plug to cushion their stomachs, and ordered a few more dishes to send the waiter away. And Yisi, who had already eaten, wiped his mouth elegantly, and after confirming that the soundproofing magic was turned on, he spoke: "The problem of doping is indeed difficult to solve, but it is under the premise that the war has begun. What we are talking about is that, despite the propaganda being vigorously promoted by the top brass of the Tro Domain, there is no possibility of starting a war. ”

Jiao Ming swallowed the food and just wanted to say something, but he heard a noise outside the window, and there was a faint neat slogan. Coming to the window with the bowl, a sense of absurdity hit Jiao Ming's heart. A group of marchers appeared on the street, and they read the slogans and listened to the slogans, which were actually to let the Hongshan Kingdom release the seized merchants and goods.

Subconsciously swallowing saliva and food, Jiao Ming once again 'slumped' out. And Yisi, who also came to the window, turned pale. As for the eight environmental protection darts, they looked confused and asked, "What are they doing?"

"It's called a parade, and it should be one of the propaganda methods planned by Troly, although it doesn't have much use. Although Jiao Ming was 100% sure that this was the idea that the other two personalities gave to Evan, he didn't say much.

As the swaggering procession disappeared around the corner, Eth suddenly bent over and retched at the wall. Jiao Ming was stunned, wondering why the morning sickness reaction that had disappeared a long time ago had returned, and he stepped forward and patted his back to soothe for a while, only to understand that he was probably too nervous.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine, just disturbing your meal, I'm really sorry. Eth wiped the corners of her mouth, trying to hide her body between the other two and the vomit, but failed because she felt nauseous.

"Just change the room and eat again. Jiao Ming didn't care much, when he was in college, he had dinner and drank with his classmates, and if someone was drunk and vomited, he would deal with it like this.

The eight environmental protection darts will not speak even if they are disgusting, but they just call the waiter and move the leftovers with their hands. After the transfer was completed, Jiao Ming saw that Yisi was still unsettled, ordered a juice drink for him, and half-forced him to drink a few sips, and then persuaded: "Actually, you don't have to take this matter too seriously, the parade is really useless." And the possibility of fraud is higher, I know the power of the intelligence department of Yisi, maybe this is just a scene specially staged for us to see, otherwise there are so many streets in this bird's beak town, and they will pass by in front of our door. ”

"I don't know if we're acting or not, but we're being targeted, and a couple of people from next door to us have come next door to us again. At this time, the eight environmental protection darts, who have been silent, also interjected to corroborate. Obviously, as an unprofessional bodyguard, he can't distinguish his tail on the crowded street, but in the gap between soundproofing magic, it is more than enough to determine the situation in the private room next door.

"I hope so. Yisi was noncommittal, but his appetite was restored.

Set up soundproofing magic, the three of them ignored the unidentified stalker next door, and continued to eat and chat, but there was no further progress. After eating and drinking, he checked out and left, because Yisi was pregnant, Jiao Ming simply chose the ring bus to travel, and the three tickets were used until the sun set before getting off and returning to Jiao Ming's office building. The two people who went to the official channel to purchase the ammeter have been waiting for a long time, and they are not surprisingly closed.

"There's no mention of free trade here. Yisi, who was a little sicksick, immediately sarcastic. Of course, this is just to vent frustration, and the theory of protecting the interests of developers has occupied various pages in The Onion as early as when Troling established the ban list, and Iss has certainly seen it and agreed with it at the time.

"Don't be angry, for the sake of your stomach. Jiao Ming reminded, and then said to everyone: "If there is nothing else, let's withdraw, and go back to talk about anything." ”

The other three nodded in agreement as they saw that it was getting late, although they were not very familiar with Jiao Ming, they also knew the symptoms of Jiao Ming's split personality. After all, the symptoms are too obvious, and they can't hide it if they want to, coupled with the curiosity of the people around them, it is not a new thing in the viscounty that the lord has a disease.

However, when Jiao Ming and the others came out of the old vine network room of the Lord's Mansion, a waiting servant immediately sent the intelligence document and said that this was specially instructed by the head maid of Butterfly.

Jiao Ming twitched the corners of his mouth as if he had a toothache, and looked at it carefully with Yi Si, but it was actually the Red Mountain Kingdom holding a military exercise in the border fortress where people were seized, and the content of the exercise was even more intriguing: to prevent the rescue of criminals. As for the results of the exercises, half of the criminals were 'killed' on the spot, and half were successfully transferred.

There is no doubt that this is simply 'pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey', and those with an IQ of more than their feet can understand what this military exercise is referring to, and they can also understand who the hostile forces of the Red Mountain Kingdom have suddenly declared a state of war and have not been announced.

"Doesn't this make the situation more tense? What do the higher-ups of the Red Mountain Kingdom think?"

"Pay attention to your words and go back to the study. Eth reminded and led the way with a quick head.

Jiao Ming waved his hand to signal the servants and the three accompanying people to disperse, quickly followed Yisi, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

After making sure that there was no one left and right, Yi Si smiled bitterly and said, "Bluff." ”

"Can it have an effect?" Jiao Ming didn't feel at all that Tro comprehended, so he confessed.

"I think it's just going to be counterproductive. Yisi's smile was even more bitter.

Jiao Ming nodded, deeply convinced.

And the truth was just as the two expected, or even worse, two days later, Tro Ling actually declared a state of war. And there was also a military exercise without concession, and the content of the performance was also-for-tat: rescuing hostages. The result of the exercise is naturally a complete victory from a special standpoint, and the victory or defeat of the red and blue armies is the same as the result of the military exercise between the two sides in a dispute over a certain island on the earth.

And for this kind of behavior that looks like a child's vindictiveness, Jiao Ming had an urge to laugh, but when he thought about the involvement, he couldn't laugh at all.
