Chapter Seventy-Eight: There Is No Right or Wrong
"Therefore, for the Imperial Crown and the Farrar government, the more troops are sent to join the coalition, the more expenses will be saved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Pannis said: "And because of the agreement between the parties just now, the higher the combat effectiveness of the troops sent, the higher the proportion of compensatory materials provided by Neville, the Farrar Empire sent 400,000 people at a time, it is estimated that at least more than 10 million materials can be shared, heh, calculated, the annual financial income of the entire Farar Empire is only about 20 million, and this more than 10 million materials is not a small amount for them." ”
"However, people will die. Eva's doubts were not dispelled, but became even stronger: "When you discussed the Neville Federation just now, you said that the death of a soldier requires a pension. ”
"Yes, but that's the Neville Federation, not the Farrar Empire. Pannis said with a mocking smile: "The pension of the Farrar Empire, hehe, how to say it, every soldier of them, whether knights or auxiliaries, receives a pension after the death of the war is pitifully less than that of the Neville Federation. The Farar Empire has always preached that it is an honor and responsibility for a soldier to die for the country, and after the real death, he gets more honor and some disguised compensation, and the substantive compensation is only a little. Therefore, even if most of the 400,000 troops died in battle, the saved supply expenses and the compensatory materials they received were enough to pay for the bereavement, so they would not lose money in this business. ”
"You won't lose money, but you won't necessarily make money. Eva asked, "Isn't that pointless?"
"Hasn't this been the case in the Goblin Age?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "I think there are, no matter what the race, there are some things in common." ”
"Yes, but very little. Eva shook her head and said, "And, although I have seen similar things in the database, I can't understand the reason for them, I think this behavior may have something to do with the human heart, because it can't be explained by logic." ”
"Heh, it's actually easy to understand, for the Farrar Empire, it doesn't matter if you don't earn it, even if you will lose some, as long as you don't pay too much, you will make the same choice. Pannis sighed and said, "They don't really care about the compensation of more than 10 million, and they don't care about the supply expenses that are saved, which are only used to make up for the expenses when there are too many casualties." What they really care about is the intangible benefits that come from their actions. ”
"Intangible benefits?" Eva repeated in confusion, "Are there any other interests besides fighting the undead?"
"Absolutely. The person who answered this time was Catherine, and the knight girl seemed to be in a bad mood, and said in a low voice: "A better image among other forces, more voice in diplomacy in the future, a higher recognition of the imperial family, and the exchange of interests that may exist in the future and are more conducive to the Faral Empire, these are all intangible interests." ”
"I don't think there's a problem. Vivien stood on Eva's side this time and asked on her behalf: "If we fail to stop it, then the war will inevitably go on, and there will inevitably be casualties if it is carried out, and it shouldn't be wrong for them to use these casualties in exchange for greater benefits, why are you dissatisfied, eldest sister?"
"The problem is that they're trading casualties for the greater good. Catherine sighed, shook her head, and said, "If they reduce the number of troops they send and only send half of the troops like the orcs, that is, more than 200,000, what will be the result?"
"Well, then the other forces will send more troops to fill the gap of more than 100,000 troops, and then ...... Well, I see what you mean. Vivien quickly understood Catherine's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "In this way, after the outbreak of the war, the army of the Faral Empire will reduce a lot of battle losses, and instead the number of battle losses of other forces will increase, that is, so many people will still die, but the dead people will be replaced." ”
That's it, it is precisely because the dead are different that they can obtain what intangible benefits. Panis preemptively preempted Catherine and said: "Therefore, their decision is equivalent to the death of the people of other forces with the lives of their own people, or to put it more ugly, they are exchanging the lives of their own citizens for those intangible benefits." ”
"It's good for the whole of Farrar, and at least it's not bad for the Yara world. Catherine said, "But this is not necessarily true for everyone who makes up the Fahrar Empire, especially for the lives that are being put at the price. Of course, the benefits that Farrar has gained will eventually be reflected on the remaining living, not the exclusive use of the Imperial Family. ”
"In contrast, although the actions of the Neville Federation will cause them to lose many tangible and intangible benefits, at least those who make up the Federation do not have to worry about their lives being exchanged for benefits. Freya showed a strange smile on her chubby face, and said as if watching the excitement: "Hehe, both sides have their own reasons that can be justified, and there is no strict distinction between right and wrong, which is why the eldest sister is so entangled." But eldest sister, you're just a bystander, is it necessary to give yourself such a headache for their business, if you really want to find a way to do both, then wouldn't it be good to do your own thing?"
"Oh, that's right. Catherine was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "My mind was suddenly confused, and I didn't think of the most critical issue." As long as we complete our mission and prevent the Divine Servant from reopening the door of death, then no one will be sacrificed, and there will be no need to worry about which method is right and which method is wrong. ”
"So we need to be ready for everything. Pannis nodded: "Use the remaining days to adjust your condition to the best, both physically and mentally, so as to maximize the success rate." ”
"This is the first time you've talked about getting ready together. Catherine glanced at Pannis, smiling, and said, "Why, aren't you going to find a way to stop us from going with you?"
"Well, didn't you decide in the City of Knowledge?" said Pannis, smiling dryly, "I already said yes then." ”
"yes, and then?" Catherine teased, "first by creating all sorts of coincidences for me to meet Grandpa Snape, and then subtly provoking Lina's memories and making her decide to solve her own problems before leaving, in order to make her see Bishop Keane again, hehe, who did it twice to change our minds with family affection?"
"Ha, ha, I don't understand what you're talking about. Pannis wiped the cold sweat from his head, and secretly got up and slipped behind the high platform: "I suddenly remembered that there was something else, haha, I'll go first, see you in the evening, ha, ha, ha." ”
"Hush. The knight girl frowned, and after expressing disdain for Pannis's timidity, she said to the girls: "Let's go too, I really don't want to continue watching the performance on this high platform." (To be continued.) )
