Even if it is unethical, it is necessary to do evil, and to protect the majority through evil deeds is "necessary evil."

As long as there are more than two people, what can be called an "organization" structure exists, "necessary evil" is inevitable, sooner or later, regardless of the object, people will always face this choice.

This is inevitable and understandable.

It's just that you don't have to do all the bad things yourself, and sometimes it's best to let someone else, especially your opponent, do it.

For example, the attack on Pearl Harbor by the old Japanese Empire is despised and despised by the world, but few people know that the direct trigger for Japan's action was the cessation of the export of machine tools, scrap metal, and fuel to Japan. Japan, which had already coveted important strategic materials in the South Seas, including crude oil and rubber, had no choice but to accept the US demand to withdraw its troops from China and vomit all the gains it had swallowed after 1937 against the backdrop of only about a year's fuel reserves. Or follow the same routine as they were confronted with such a choice after the Meiji Restoration, shouting "The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom in one fell swoop", risking the fortunes of the country and thousands of lives, wealth, and dignity to challenge the giants on the other side of the Pacific. In the end, the Japanese went to the table full of confidence and apprehension, and finally lost the whole game. Although the United States suffered heavy losses in the early days of the war, it successfully took advantage of the Pearl Harbor incident to turn the mood of domestic isolationism, turning huge resources and production capacity into combat effectiveness, and continuously transfusing blood to the Allies while beating the Japanese. In the end, with the power of a great victory and the advantage of occupying the moral high ground, he jumped to the throne of world hegemony in one fell swoop.

Another case is the Cold War-era Berlin Wall. Although it was the German Democratic Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics behind it that built the wall. The then President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was also filled with righteous indignation, and even hated to drive the chariot himself to push the wall. However, in the context of the crisis of the tank confrontation at the Berlin Wall, the massive influx of East German population into West Germany, the unstable situation in East Germany, and the nuclear arms race in full swing. Whether it was the influx of refugees into West Germany that caused the influx of refugees (due to the deteriorating economic situation in East Germany and the excessive incitement of the Western media, more and more East Germans tried to cross the border to West Germany to make a living. Without the Berlin Wall, a third of East Germans would have poured into West Germany in the winter of 1962), or the outbreak of an uprising in East Germany, upsetting the balance between East and West, and triggering World War III, were all unhappy with the Western camp led by the United States. However, if the Western military openly blocked the East German refugees on the border line, or pulled up a line of defense between East and West Germany, it would not be in line with the so-called "human rights" propagated by the West every day. Therefore, the United States not only knew about the construction of the Berlin Wall for a long time, but also secretly raised its hands in favor of it, and even contributed to it. To a large extent, the Soviet government and Khrushchev were completely forced to build the Berlin Wall.

What Yarfheim wants to play now is the role of the United States – a strong, just, civilized, and virtuous country that will never easily provoke others, but will never tolerate others. It is only on the basis of the principle of equality that the atrocities against the brutal neighbors, if they cannot stand it, do not in any way violate the diplomatic principle of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries" that they have set for themselves, at least as they seem.

"Gentlemen, at the heart of all problems is the economy. Ordinary people will complain and complain, but the direct cause of their fear and rebellion will always be poverty and hunger. Gentlemen, remember one sentence, glycemic index and IQ are inversely proportional. The average glycemic index of the population is high, and the average IQ must be low. In turn, blood sugar drops, and smart IQs regain the high ground. ”

The generals and ministers of Yivote immediately leaned back and fell in laughter, looking overjoyed, obviously thinking of something.

Of course, they are unlikely to know how those who once cheered for democracy in another world view their actions after experiencing poverty, soaring crime, civil war, division, terrorism, lack of supplies, and the spread of drugs. Their experience comes from their own side – the liberals in Yalfheim who shout "freedom, equality, fraternity" every day, and in the eyes of the military in the conservative stronghold and the civilian officials who are overjoyed by the victory in the war, these guys are the representatives of the well-fed and spoiled brains. How bad must the brain be to think that after paying a great deal of price, when the enemy is finally overthrown, what kind of "peaceful coexistence," "reciprocal recognition," and "appraisal of non-aggression pact" will be discussed with that defeated dog? This is a war, not a game, and the fruits of victory obtained by fighting to the death at the cost of national fortune and countless lives are not for some Virgin Mary to use for charity and self-satisfaction. If they really want to discover the splendor of humanity, they might as well find a remote ravine or country and discuss the importance of a republic with the peasants who eat two meals a day. I believe that when they lose a lot of weight, they should understand a lot of important philosophies. This is much more effective than electric shock therapy and militarized management.

Li Lin was very clear about his subordinates' thoughts, and to be honest, sometimes he also seriously thought about whether he should set up a special labor camp so that the liberal virtuous (idler) could learn what "labor makes people free" and what "strength is gained through happiness", so that the excess energy of the liberals could be transformed into the driving force for building the country. But in the end, he gave up this tempting idea, and he is not a psychophile, as long as the control of the country is still there, what can these mouthful kings fear? Moreover, the existence of liberals and their ideas can still play a considerable role in the subsequent propaganda war, as long as they do not play out of line, let them play.

Before that-

"Now that the first phase of Charlemagne's assets has been completed, it will take a little time for further sorting and refinement. Judging from the current summary, Charlemagne's consumption is even more serious than we think. In addition to the normal war attrition, there are also problems such as the slump in agricultural production and food shortages caused by the expansion of industrial production and the loss of population. Food shortages, in particular, will inevitably lead to large-scale famines if sufficient food is not quickly imported. The large number of hungry and displaced people will have a major impact on the subsequent occupation plans. ”

It was officials from the Ministry of Economy who spoke, and with Stasi's cooperation, they were taking stock of Charlemagne's family. As old adversaries who know their roots, progress has gone quite smoothly, and it is no exaggeration to say that Alfheim's economic officials know better than Charlemagne's chancellor of the exchequer how dangerous the country's reality is.

Charlemagne is not collapsing or collapsing, but rotting every minute. As the Ministry of Economy official put it, if there is not enough food import, a massive famine will quickly engulf Charlemagne, followed by a nationwide riot.

To be honest, things are quite tricky, and even for Alfheim it is a crisis.

Conversely, a crisis is also an opportunity.

"As long as we can quickly resolve the food crisis, in contrast to the slow actions of the United Principalities of Albion and Rus, the first step of the whole plan can be carried out smoothly. ”

The dictator grinned, and that grim smile made even the battle-hardened soldiers frightened.
