Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 354 Acceleration

   On the night of May 31, 1434, many, many people around the world were awake.

Everyone has more or less known the news that Welland, Bresey and Bash have declared war on each other. However, they are more concerned about the impact of war on their ordinary lives than the international accusations between several countries. .

  Soaring prices and taxes, leaving home under artillery fire, job shortage caused by social unrest, collapse of order, forced conscription...

  Basically can be expected and foreseen.

   And this war is the same. Everyone knew a month or two ago that it might happen, that it would come with a high probability, and that it was inevitable.

  But for some people, knowing sooner or later will not change their coping, because there is no second way to go for many things.

  So the whole world is showing a very funny scene.

  Politicians and businessmen from various countries are extremely active, as if their spring has arrived. The civilians were lifeless, and it was hard to find half a smile on the millions of faces.

  Villac still cannot forget the devastation he witnessed from the inside out on the train from Dunman to Pluman to visit Winston.

   A civil war that broke out in Dunman involved tens of millions of civilians. He dared not imagine what impact this unprecedented war would have on the world.

   "Willand has always been good at using these treacherous methods! This must be the one who framed us Bash! They planned everything, and the purpose is to find a legitimate reason to declare war!" Vikenji said angrily.

"That's for sure! That group of people has no bottom line, and they will do anything for their own interests! This time they also joined forces with Brecy..." August said at the end, realizing that they are now in Brecy , Resisted not to say the following words of "collusion" and so on.

  Verak and Winston's reactions were not great.

   Firstly, after Prince Albert was assassinated and killed, war would definitely happen. Secondly, as Bash people, Vikenji and Augusta are normal to think from the perspective of their own country.

   "Alas..." Verak sat on a chair and looked out the window at the vast night, "Bash's situation is not optimistic."

   "Verland is already very strong, plus you, Blessie..." Vikenji also knew how great the pressure on Bash was.

"Not necessarily. After our matter is implemented, Bresci will definitely withdraw from this dispute. At that time, the conflict will still be resolved by Bash and Wellland themselves." Winston felt that after a while, there would be equality. Once the Raizein is under control, the expeditionary army will immediately disintegrate. "This war was started by Bash and Welland, and in the end, only the two of them will win and lose. This is the best result."

August's eyes lit up when he heard Clark translate that the Equality Society seemed to have some plan to sabotage Bresci's participation in this matter: "Can you tell us what happened? How did Bresci quit? "

  This task is the top secret of the Equality Association, Winston shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, but your authority is not enough to know about this matter."

   "Anyway, things are not that simple. Bash's situation isn't that bad, is it?" Vikenji, who was smarter, stepped back and didn't ask about the matter but only about the result.

"Yes, so you don't have to worry too much. Moreover, as the initiators of the war, Bash and Wellland must have judged the war higher than us. I believe that Bash recognized Welland's will early on. Allying with Bresci, they should also have some cards that have not yet been revealed." Winston's attitude towards Bash is more optimistic.

   As an emerging power, if it has no confidence, it is impossible to dare to challenge and start a war with Welland.

   It’s just that Bash hides very deeply. Now no one knows what cards they have and what they can rely on to win.

"After listening to your analysis, I feel much more relieved." August's breathing became more stable, and his worries about his homeland were reduced by a few points, but he was extremely hostile to Willan Ren, "but Once the war breaks out, how many people will suffer... If it weren't for Welland and the others pressing forward every step of the way, targeting us at Bash everywhere, we..."

   "What's the use of saying this? We two little workers are powerless to intervene to change the war. We can only do well now." Vikenji deeply realized his own insignificance and saw hope.

  Equality will be the most suitable place to unleash their best abilities.

Verac nodded in recognition of Vikenji's words: "The only thing we can do is to do well in the present and improve our strength. Comrade August may think that this has nothing to do with the war, or it is too far away from the war, and the distant water cannot save us." We are close to the fire, but this is the road we have to walk, no matter how far we are, and no matter how fast the time is, we have to hold our breath and walk the road step by step.”

   "I understand, thank you, Comrade Verac." August tried to calm himself down.

"In fact, sometimes there is no right or wrong in war. Bash wants to rise, and Wellland wants to maintain his position. From their respective perspectives, they are not wrong to start this war." Verac based on August Express your opinion on what you say.

   "Is it possible that we can't accuse them of being hostile to them?" August wondered.

"Of course, this is not a conflict. What I mean is that the essence of the problem is not here. If we want to end the war, we must find the essence of the problem, fundamentally resolve the contradictions and reach a consensus. We only divide the war between right and wrong, and blame , What's the point of wrangling?" Verak explained.

"I do not quite understand…"

"Then let me make an analogy. For example, if you eat meat on the table, Vikenji also wants to serve it, but if he comes to eat it, it means that you can eat less, so you don't want him to serve it, So you got into a fight, trying to use force to decide who eats more and who eats less or even has nothing to eat. It seems that there is no problem from your point of view. You also want to eat more, and he also wants to eat more. This is like A development trend, an instinct, but do you think Vikenji accused you of eating too much and not keeping it for him, and you accused him of eating less when he came up, so why should you be useful? Such an argument can be resolved Question?" Winston took over the conversation and explained it in an easy-to-understand way.

   "No...it's meaningless...but, how to solve it?" August felt that he understood, and felt that the problem had become more complicated.

"There is no solution to the current world. Everyone is chasing interests, feeding their wildly inflated ambitions by constantly eating. If you don't allow it to eat, it is tantamount to letting it die." Winston shrugged, " Then... just die, let's all die."

   Are you going to die?

  August was dazed, and Vikenji, who thought he understood something before, also became curious.

"In the future world, in that advanced, inclusive, free, and equal new world, the interests belong to the general public, not the capitalists and powerful people who can gobble up the table, and the general public can only pick up the leftovers under the table." Wen Wen Stone described the difference between the new world and the present, "Even in the future, there will be no concept of country, and the barriers between everyone will be eliminated. Where will the war between countries come from?"

   "Boom boom boom."

   There was a knock on the door.

  Verak, who responded in a timely manner this time, said first: "Please come in."

  The door was pushed open, and tall Andre and Benedict walked in.

   "You all know the news, right?" Andre asked.

   "I just told them all." Winston replied.

   "Let's go, let's go to a meeting." Andre called Veraker and Winston out of the room, "President Boyne asked us to submit a detailed phased summary report as soon as possible."

   "Factory?" Willak asked as he walked.

   "Of course, and Comrade Keating and the others were also wanted."

   Benedict walked at the end: "I feel that this means that the main station is about to make a move. They need to understand the situation on our side first and cooperate with them."

   "This possibility is not ruled out." Andre also thinks so.

   "Then we have to hurry up with our experiments, and we can't hold back the main station." Verak also couldn't think of why Boin was suddenly so anxious to ask for a detailed phased summary report.

  Andre, who was walking in the front, looked back at Verak: "This is one of the things we will talk about in a meeting later."

   "One of?"

"Besides, because you and Comrade Keating have very high authority, the main station has shared some information with us." Then, a group of people came to the office door, and Andre pushed the door open, " The first piece of information says that François secretly dispatched a mission to Kanna."

  "Shenna?" Suddenly mentioning this country with little international presence, Veraker couldn't connect the information together for a while.

   "Bash and Nero." Winston reported the location.

"Yes, the analysis of the main station believes that this is a means for Francois to interfere in the conflict between Bash and Wellland. If Bash wins this war, it will breed another powerful country that poses a threat to Brecy. Wellland wins It will widen the gap between Bresci and him, so supporting Shennai to interfere with Nero's interests can curb the further growth of Bash and Wellland to a certain extent..." Andre then analyzed the terminal supporting the intelligence. I gave it to several people.

   Benedict couldn't help admiring: "These parties have their own ghosts, and no one wants to make life easier for the other."

   "That's for sure, but the situation is probably much more complicated than we thought." Verak sat down in the conference room.

"It's really more complicated." Andre went on to talk about the second intelligence from the terminus, "Today, Bash, Wellland, Nero, and Bresci have attracted everyone's attention, so there are still some things It was neglected. In addition to the explosion of the powder kegs in the east, the situation between the Kingdom of Sdar and the Empire of Castellane was also very serious because of some old disputes."

   "They..." Verak still couldn't integrate the information immediately.

Andre directly brought the map from the meeting room and put it on the table for several people to see: "This is the Masi region bordering the Castelian Empire and the Kingdom of Sder. There have been many frictions on the issue of rights, but this time the scale is a bit too big, and the Kingdom of Sidr has sent heavy troops to station near the Marcy area, posing a great threat to the Castellan Empire."

   "It's pretty close to where I used to live..." Verac saw the Joseph County Road, which is only one province away from the Marcy region. "Wouldn't it be easy for a war to break out?"

   "That's right, the conflict between the Castelian Empire and the Kingdom of Sdr began to escalate at noon today. If this continues, it is very likely that a war will break out in the Marcy area." Andre said.

   "Noon? Wasn't that Prince Albert also assassinated in Nile at about that time? Could this time be too coincidental?" Winston noticed something was wrong.

Verak frowned: "I also feel... Could this be provoked by Welland on purpose? If the Castelian Empire is also deeply involved in war, and Brexi joins forces with himself, then Welland can It can be regarded as truly worry-free. But looking at it this way, it seems that all of this is planned, will the death of Prince Albert..."

  According to the information currently available, the Castellan Empire and the Sdar Kingdom broke out in a war, and only Welland could benefit. Therefore, Verac naturally contacted the past.

"That's right, the timing is so tight, who would believe it if it wasn't intentional... and the fight between the two is only good for Welland, so it doesn't make it clear that the assassination of Prince Albert was done by Welland himself Ghost?" Benedict slapped his thigh, thinking he had seen through the truth.

"Not necessarily." Winston objected, "This matter is indeed of the greatest benefit to Wellland, but it may not be provoked by Welland. As we all know, Welland has a good relationship with Castelia, and Cass Telia didn't have much motive to take advantage of Welland to stab the knife in the back, it's more likely that the kingdom of Sidr had planned it long ago."

   "How to say?" Verac found that Winston's analysis was also very reasonable.

"Comrade Andre just said that there is a dispute between the Kingdom of Sder and the Empire of Castelia in the Marcy region, so what do you think the Kingdom of Sder will do if it wants to solve the problem by force and actually control the Marcy region?" asked Winston.

   Benedict replied quickly: "Let's go to war."

   "Willand and Castelia have a good relationship, and if they start a war rashly, the opponent is likely to get a lot of support." Winston added information.

"Then wait until Welland can't take care of himself—yes, it makes sense..." Benedict scratched his head, and found that the things inside were too deep, "Maybe Sdr discovered that Bash and Welland were about to There is a fight, so I made preparations in advance, and I will take action when Welland doesn't care about Castella."

   "Well, I don't think this possibility can be ruled out." After explaining his point of view, Winston did not directly say that it must be the case.

  Andre glanced at the two of them: "The information sharing at the terminal is over. It's time to talk about our business. We need to speed up the completion of the task to cooperate with the operation of the terminal. The question is how to speed up?"

"Now we have two key directions. One is that the factory's output needs to be increased, and the other is to promote the new system in other factories. It will take at least a month to solve these." Winston was powerless, "The problem is that the main station Can you wait for a month?"

   "It's difficult to speed up the completion of the experiment..." Verak didn't want so many people to wait for him, "but we have to do it."
