Chapter 395: System and War

There was no expected applause......

There is no refutation or approval......

It was as if everyone present was in a collective contemplation......

For them, the theory of war that has been summed up through systematic scientific research and a large number of practices on the earth is really a bit too advanced and very difficult to understand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After all, there are two main political systems in the other world, one is feudal and the other is republic.

The former mainly originated from the formation around 2,500 years after the Great War of Gods and Demons, when it was in the stage of expansion of surface civilization into the wilderness.

In order to protect the lives and property of migrants, many countries have enacted laws that allow migrants to gather together and elect a military commander to train militias to defend themselves.

Over time, the families of these military governors would gain some economic, political, and military privileges, and gradually become an aristocratic class, and later, after hundreds of years of wars, marriages, and annexations, they formed a real feudal system, which produced a strong centrifugal force and became independent into new principalities, kingdoms, and empires.

For these countries, war is actually a way for the aristocracy to resolve their conflicts, and sometimes it can lead to war just for the sake of a quarrel, an unintentional offense, or a jealousy.

There is no doubt that the reason for their choice of war is naïve, and they do not have a clear understanding of war, and they often make an appointment to fight a battle at a certain place to win or lose.

A war in this situation is more appropriate than a fight.

The latter, on the other hand, is a much older political system, existing in the first few birthplaces of otherworldly civilizations, somewhat similar to the mixture of aristocratic republics and citizenship in ancient Greece, mostly a mega-city-state radiating surrounding villages, and Kempera, which was under the administration of a guild, was one of them.

The only difference is that the guild's elder system replaces the parliamentary system, and the citizen's military service, which is responsible for protecting itself, becomes the conscription of adventurers.

Generally speaking, republics rarely have wars because of their land, and they are not very expansive to the outside world, so they prefer to do business and spread culture and use soft power to absorb interests and expand their influence rather than war.

Of course, not liking war does not mean that there cannot be war.

On the contrary, due to the adoption of compulsory military service in the republic, both the ability to organize and mobilize the war and the combat effectiveness of the army are much stronger than those of the feudal state, and in addition to the abundant financial resources, professional mercenaries can be recruited temporarily.

But what is regrettable is that they regard war as a simple addition and subtraction, and if a war is destined to lose money, then they would rather admit defeat and compromise than choose to continue fighting.

But just because the audience can't understand it doesn't mean that Pericles can't understand it.

As a sage of the god of knowledge, whether it is the accumulation of knowledge or the aspect of knowledge, he is far from being comparable to what ordinary people can obtain, and he soon realized the profound meaning of Lu Li's words just now, and took the initiative to take the lead in applauding, applauding and praising at the same time: "What you said is really good! You not only focus on novelty, but also thought-provoking content, it is really the best judgment I have heard in all these years." Now I declare that the subject of today's debate, politics and war, is won by the scholar Fantu from the city of Oia!"

Seeing that the sages applauded, the spectators in the stands also stood up and applauded, thunderous applause filled every corner, although they were a little ignorant, but they still understood part of it, and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"How do you feel about the judgment?" asked a man in his mid-thirties, in a low voice.

Another aristocratic man, who was a little older, replied, "Quite good! Especially when economic, cultural, and diplomatic means are exhausted, war is used as a last resort." ”

"Yes, I agree with that! Too many nobles now regard war as child's play, always thinking of provoking wars to gain more wealth and land, and we must limit this irresponsible behavior, otherwise it will drag down the whole country. ”

"Perhaps we can invite the watchman to a banquet and take the opportunity to ask for advice on how to solve the problem of the nobles of the southwestern frontier not being controlled by the king. ”

......

As more and more people began to discuss, the atmosphere in the room soon became lively, and the two debating scholars gathered around Lu Li to ask questions, trying to extract more knowledge and opinions.

But Lu Li himself was not interested in this, and after dealing with a few words casually, he went straight to Pericles and said straight to the point: "Sage, I have finished my work, and now it is your turn to meet my requirements." ”

"Hehe, no problem. Say, what are your requirements?" asked Pericles, touching the goatee on his chin and laughing.

"It's very simple, use the astrolabe to help me determine the location of the rift in the elemental heart. You have an astrolabe, right?" Lu Li did not hesitate to say the purpose of this trip.

"What do you think this place is? This is a temple dedicated to the god of knowledge! Not to mention the astrolabe, we have even older celestial spheres. Come along, I'll take you to the observatory to find an astrologer. With that, the sage stepped out of the room and walked down the wide corridor towards the tower in the center of the temple.

Lu Li left behind the enthusiastic audience and scholars, and hurriedly followed, and after a while, he disappeared at the end of the spiral staircase.

On his way to the observatory, in the car at the entrance of the temple, Vivien was discussing something with a man wrapped in a black cloak, and she looked so excited that tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Your Highness, you are the last blood of the royal family and the only hope for hundreds of thousands of criminals. I will never allow anyone to do that to you, even if you want to. Don't forget your responsibilities and obligations. The mysterious man in the cloak reprimanded in a serious tone.

Lori, the dark elf, took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then retorted in a slightly trembling voice, "What do you think I'm doing this for?

I'm sure you also understand how difficult it is to achieve this goal, it took us a full thirty years to barely gain a foothold in Kempera, and it will take at least a hundred years to gather the materials needed for the restoration war.

But now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of us!

Plenty of steel, powerful weapons, advanced knowledge and technology, all of this is not worth it if I sacrifice a little?"

The mysterious man sighed slightly: "Alas, Your Highness, I believe you should understand that this is not a little sacrifice, but a huge sacrifice, once you are sealed into the card, then your fate will be in the hands of others." If you really think this is an opportunity, then let me take your place. I believe that the watchman should not refuse a female ** subordinate who is beautiful enough and has superb assassination skills. ”

As soon as the words fell, she gently lifted her hood, revealing her delicate facial features and deep eyes, which were none other than the mature and sexy Eleanora......
