11- They do not love people
Between tribes and tribes, they chase abundant water and grass and live.
But the abundant resources are limited, and sometimes two tribes find the same oasis, and the only thing that can solve the problem is knives and guns.
Killing brings the seeds of hatred, and hatred breeds more killing.
Repeat the cycle, never stop.
This is not a problem that can be solved by the destruction of one party, because it is all the tribes in the entire sand sea that compete for resources.
You can destroy an enemy, but if you can't solve the environment, then strife and killing will still come and go.
This has been the case in the desert environment for hundreds of years.
There is always a solution to this problem, and as far as Rama is concerned, the path he wants is to use power to achieve unity.
This is conquest rather than domination, and forcibly conquered tribes do not give up their hatred for each other, nor do they contribute too much loyalty to the kingdom.
But that's where chaotic tribal rule comes in.
They won't be loyal, but the new kingdom doesn't need their allegiance either—the king just needs them to be willing to charge.
What follows is a snowballing process.
As long as the kings can bring enough benefits, they themselves will forget that they are also vanquished in the process of conquest, and instead regard the kingdom as their own honor and medal.
Uninterrupted victories and the benefits of victories would make them loyal to the king.
"It's true that people are disgusted with war, but they are disgusted by wars that don't bring profit, but that they pay for."
"If you can win the war, and constantly bring abundant land and resources to the people of the tribe, no one will be tired of war."
"When we cannot solve internal contradictions in a short period of time, then use war to transfer internal contradictions to external contradictions."
Objectively speaking, hatred is a big problem.
Rama does not have the ability to make people endure hatred, nor can he open his mouth and make everyone work together.
If a problem exists, it should be solved, but there are many ways to solve it.
"It's like I can't convince some of the elders who oppose me, but I can make them unable to object?"
Babel has mastered the core technology of problem solving.
It doesn't solve the problem, but it can solve the person who raised the problem.
"Foreign wars can solve this part of the people who are completely unwilling to compromise, and when they die, the problem of hatred will be greatly alleviated."
"Then the next step is to win, Sumeru's territory is very large, as long as it can be won, there will naturally be enough benefits to appease everyone's hearts."
"When the diehards disappear, the centrists and the less stubborn opposition will naturally laugh at the interest and become our allies."
Rama's words were calm, "There is only one problem in everything, and we have to win." ”
Objectively speaking, Babel did not want to support Rama.
His ambitions are too great.
In the future, the elder of the Tanit tribe only wants to discover the [Eternal Oasis], pretending to use the divine power of the [Flower God] to obtain greater benefits, and seek the power of the [Soul Suppression] to turn the sand sea into an oasis in the legend.
But what Rama wanted was to become the Red King.
Not the King of the Red Sands.
When the Red King was still alive, the kings who were enshrined in the divine right could actually be called the kings of the red sands, and they were the kings of the sand sea.
But it was clear that mortals would not compete with the gods for the same title, so they rejected the throne of the King of the Red Sands and placed themselves in the right place.
And Rama is not very correct about his position.
He wanted to become the king of the Red Sands and then rise to the rank of god here.
"If I refuse to cooperate with you······" "You're not going to kill me at this time, are you?" ”
"No, mother, you have nurtured me and given me a chance to live."
Although I know that it's because you don't have the right tools.
But the grace of salvation is the grace of salvation and does not change depending on the purpose of the giver.
Rama shook his head, "I will leave the desert and fight for the future somewhere else, just as Cyno chose the rainforest, just as Candace chose Aaru Village." ”
"I'm not going to choose a place that doesn't give me hope."
"I am willing to be a hero because of the desert's unyielding, no matter how dangerous and difficult the future is, but if the desert itself is not willing to resist, then I think the future of all people is bleak, and it is also a matter of course."
"Fighting against the injustice of fate is what everyone who suffers from injustice should do, I understand your helplessness to survive in fear of the dark, and I know that you can't do it and don't force you to be heroes."
"But if you are not only afraid of the darkness, but have even begun to defend the darkness against others who want to shine."
"Then fate has put you in such a situation, perhaps not by coincidence, but by necessity."
Babel scoffed, "You are also in this fate, Rama. Have you forgotten, you're a desert dweller! ”
Rama pointed to his cheek, "I have no intention of retorting, but can you look at this face and repeat your words, Mistress." ”
His smile was gentle: "That's the phrase, 'You're a desert dweller.'" ”
"Do you know who you are?" Babel sighed.
Rama shook his head: "I don't know anything, I just have another path to choose from. ”
"It is my choice to become a hero, and I hope to be able to bear the humiliating fate of this sea of sand for 500 years, and lead them to a free and bright future."
"But it's my own thoughts, and I know no one expects me to be a hero."
However, the path to becoming a hero did not require anyone to look forward to.
I didn't choose to go down this path because I wanted the respect of others, they didn't expect a hero, I just did it because I wanted to.
Of course you have the freedom not to accept it.
In the same way, I have the freedom to do so.
"Why are you so arrogant?" Babel shook her head.
Words are pale and weak, you say that the sky is broken, and if you don't believe it, you don't believe it.
Rama does not argue.
War requires at least a basic plan, and no matter how bad it is, it must have the belief to start a war.
Changing the future of the desert people is Rama's idea, but the desert people themselves are not willing to stand up, and he cannot force the fate of these people.
It's better to kneel.
Babel asked, "Do you know my plan?" ”
"Eternal Oasis, Mistress." Rama didn't hesitate, "But it doesn't change the big picture." ”
"The scarcity of the desert is not just a matter of lack of resources, a fertile land will only attract more hunters to cruise and peep."
"You know······ That's what you think. Babel hesitated.
Rama's expression remained unchanged and he gave his final answer: "The gods of the desert do not love people, master mother." ”
The Eternal Oasis is the legacy of the god of flowers.
Rama didn't know exactly what Babel wanted, but he was sure that the god of flowers would not give Babel anything.
The god of flowers does not love people, and the Red King does not care about his people.
