Since ancient Greece defeated Troy and snatched the first pot of gold, it has fallen into a period of competition between Athens and Sparta to be the leader of the alliance.

During this period, both Athens and Sparta made efforts. Athens favored civil reforms, while Sparta favored military reforms. But after the two Persian Wars, they all fell silent, and Macedonia in the north rose up and became the new leader.

After Macedonia became the leader of the alliance, under the leadership of Alexander, it penetrated the Persian Empire in ten years.

Therefore, the Greek city-states have never stopped and have been competing for the position of leader.

In addition to the battles between city-states, there are also constant battles between tyrants and citizens within the city-state. It is very confusing whether the tyrants or the citizens are the leaders. This period was also the era of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In fact, their philosophy was to think about whether they were tyrants or citizens.

A tyrant is a leader elected by the citizens, who is actually a king.

It is equivalent to the relationship between Yin merchants and King Zhou. King Zhou was elected by Yin merchants, but King Zhou wanted to bring benefits to Yin merchants on the one hand, and suppressed Yin merchants on the other.

A big reason why Athens declined was that citizens had the ability to vote out the tyrants. But they forgot that whoever expanded the scope of citizens was the tyrant.

Only the tyrant can determine a direction, otherwise the citizens cannot be unified at all. The citizens of Athens were divided into three areas: the plains, the highlands, and the seaside. They all worked for their own benefit. Without a unified leader, it was impossible to reconcile the contradictions between the three areas.

There was no way to reconcile, so Athens was soon unable to defeat the Spartans.

Socrates lived in an era when Athens was changing from prosperity to decline, and experienced the era when Athens was at its strongest, so he believed that the civil system was the best, so he defended the civil system to his death.

Plato lived during the decline of Athens, so he left Athens and traveled around to promote his ideas, but no one used him. He went back to Athens and wrote "Utopia". The core discussion was justice. Should justice be in the hands of tyrants or citizens? What he meant was, 'tmd, how did Athens become such a bird? ’. He wanted to find a way to revive Athens. Was he a tyrant or a citizen? But loyalty does not mean absolute disloyalty. He cannot offend the citizens, so he can only beat around the bush and make insinuations.

By the time Aristotle arrived, Athens was no longer what it once was, and Sparta was also a thing of the past. He lived in the era of Macedonia, and his student was Alexander, a fierce man who conquered Persia in ten years. However, as soon as Alexander died, the Athenian citizens who were suppressed by Macedonia immediately used their traditional skills to prepare to kill Aristotle.

At this time, Aristotle no longer cared about the Athenian citizenship system, so he greased his feet and slipped away.

The mental journey of these three people is a bit like Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi.

Confucius believed that Zhou rites were the best, and he could sacrifice himself to defend Zhou rites. Mencius believed that whether the Zhou rites were good or not depended on whether they were virtuous or not. As far as Xunzi is concerned, Zhou Li is a piece of historical garbage and should have been thrown away long ago.

Ancient Greece was such a big place, but the games between people never stopped. The relationships between city-states, between citizen factions, between citizens and tyrants, between ancient Greece and Persia, Macedonia, etc. are also the same as those between temples, small demons and big winds, and shallow ponds, many bastards.

Now at the end of the world, the various survivor camps of mankind are city-states. Some city-states are military-oriented, some are citizen-oriented, and of course some city-states are biased toward kings.

Can city-states cooperate? Yes, but not necessarily.

Just like Athens and Sparta, the two small city-states separated and reunited and never stopped. Both sides were glorious, but soon declined, and things were changing with each passing day outside. Persia, Macedonia, Rome, Germania, and Ottoman came on stage, and the last two city-states were washed away by the torrent of history.

Jingnan believes that since there are survivors on the surface and even in space, all survivors should be united.

But the city defense captain thought it was difficult. Human beings are too complicated.

The ancient Greeks cooperated once when they robbed Troy, twice during the Persian War, and once when Macedonia was the leader. These were only four times in hundreds of years. Most of the time they were fighting among themselves. . Athens was fighting within itself, and it was also fighting with Sparta.

Internal fighting is the main theme and cannot stop at all.

Jing Nan feels that the idea he proposed is right. If humans unite, this power may not be impossible. But the question is why unite? Can she give a possibility of victory through unity? If not, everyone must take care of themselves first and make sure they can survive.

Unity is too risky.

Jing Nan was very sad. The reason for her sadness was not because her plan was not recognized, but because she knew that they were right. Human cooperation was difficult, very difficult. In the final analysis, it is because of human nature and the despicability of human beings.

As long as human beings are more noble, many problems will not be a problem.

This is definitely true. As long as human beings are more noble and some people sacrifice themselves to solve social problems, then society will prosper.

So the question is, what are people with this idea waiting for? Why not start with yourself? Why wait for others to be noble and solve problems?

Most people are like this. They curse when they see a problem. When a task is actually assigned to him, he curses even louder.

Because solving problems requires a price, and no one wants to pay the price. Everyone wants others to solve the problem and enjoy the dividends themselves.

It is generally believed that cooperation is impossible.

"If you want to unite the city-states outside, it's better to unite the common people first, lower the food for the common people to a higher level, and then let the upper and lower common people accept a consensus." Du Lan said that Jing Nan has many ideas, but he only has ideas. But it’s no use, we have to sort out the internal strife in the lighthouse first.

Now the superior people have the interests of the superior people, the secular people have the interests of the secular people, and the religions have the interests of the religions. Each has its own management system, just like the three major factions of Athens, the mountains, the plains, and the seaside. Each has its own demands. Basically There can be no consensus.

Once there was no consensus, Athens could not exert its power and quickly declined.

In the past, the consensus of lighthouses was to survive, but after decades, it is obvious that many people no longer feel the pressure of survival, and their needs have changed.

Now it would be nice if a consensus of ‘victory’ could be given, but the problem is that it cannot be given. No one who has seen the restricted area with their own eyes thinks that humans can win. But it is also difficult to return to the consensus of survival. After all, the people have no worries about food and drink, and there is no urgent pressure to survive.

If there is no consensus, then come a king. The king's order is everything. Let the superior people eat insect cakes and eat the insect cakes. Let the superior people and ordinary people be treated the same. Milk and bread will only be given to those who have meritorious service. A military meritorious figure will be created. Of course, in Shangmin's opinion, he must be a tyrant, extremely violent.

If there is no consensus and no king, then there will only be constant internal strife. Like Athens, the lighthouse will become more and more rigid and can only maintain the status quo, and it will be difficult to make a difference.

Jingnan's idea is good, but the current environment clearly has no basis for unity. Unity must also be based on the law. Without consensus and the basis of a king, performing the obligations and rights of unity based only on consciousness is more naive than Confucius' self-denial and restoration of propriety.

Of course, Duran feels that it is indeed necessary to unite. After all, if it is really done, it will also be a hymn to mankind and compose a good story.

So he felt it was necessary to contact Jingnan: "We Chenmin will support things that Shangmin does not support. We Chenmin will do things that Shangmin cannot do. Human hymns are composed by Chenmin, and Chenmin is history. The writer." Du Lan fiercely fed chicken soup to the common people and asked them to agree to talk to Jing Nan.

Indeed, many young people were so excited by what Dulan said that they felt like their blood was about to be ignited.
