Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science
Chapter 1708: 12. The other shore of good and evil (25)
"The only value of peace is to prepare for war."
The emperor enjoying afternoon tea said so.
If it is not the emperor who speaks, this slightly frivolous statement alone can conclude that this person is either a war mad or an irresponsible person.
It is precisely because the emperor is speaking that the weight in the discourse is particularly true.
Taking history as a mirror, it is not difficult to find that no one has ever regarded various artificial rules as sacred and inviolable. Unfortunately, most of the so-called peace is maintained by artificial rules, treaties and agreements-the most At least on the surface—it is well known that the sole purpose of signing agreements between countries is to tear them up at some point in the future. In other words, the so-called "the only value of peace is to prepare for war" from a historical macro perspective, in fact, there is no problem.
For now, there is no problem.
All participating countries have clearly defined the meeting and related agreements before the joint meeting, that is, "take time for the inevitable war."
Including the empire, no country has doubts and fluke about the coming of the world war. In order to meet this war, everyone needs sufficient time to complete the preparation work. And through negotiation, compromise, transaction, and debate, everyone finally won the time to complete the preparations for the war, which is the "day of peace and tranquility" in the next ten to twenty years.
In terms of time span, it is not long, but it is enough for a generation to grow. Even if this peace is a fleeting hypocrisy, it still has a value worth protecting.
Despite their different goals, Li Lin and Roland reached consensus on this matter. The long-standing grievances of the two and the differences in their styles of action can't help but make people sigh.
But the consensus between them is limited to the general direction, that is, "it is necessary to protect this period of peace." On the specific direction, or the topic of "how to protect peace," the two have never peeed into a pot.
Roland tends to cultivate people's sense of responsibility and moral concepts that regard war as a taboo, while Li Lin tends to use force and political means to suppress all actions and forces that would destroy peace.
"Roland's ideas can not be generalized with "naive" and "idealized". To truly maintain long-term peace, it is essential to educate and cultivate the hearts of the people. To cultivate a generation of responsibility for maintaining peace, it is already It’s an amazing achievement that can cultivate long-lasting values of peace. It’s an unprecedented cause. This is actually not in conflict with our long-term goals. But that’s something in the distant future.”
The teacup was put back on the porcelain plate, and the emperor said in his majestic voice:
"The focus now is to maximize the use of the'non-war period' to enrich the national strength and the army. To this end, we must ensure the stability and authority of the new order. Any attempt to challenge the new order-no matter how small-must be thoroughly given to it. The lesson, let them think about what kind of terrible consequences their actions may cause before they engage in things."
In short, it is to kill chickens and monkeys.
Will there be a guy who doesn't open his eyes and jumps out to challenge the new order? Generally normal people are sure that they won't want to try this most tragic method of suicide, let alone politicians who calculate the gains and losses all day. However, the vast majority of intelligent creatures are ultimately animals dominated by emotions. Formulas and equations can explain problems, but no one can completely set aside emotions and view and solve problems with pure reason.
Some people are afraid, some rely on, some hate, some are persistent-all are driven by emotions, and make unreasonable and meaningless actions along the impulse, not only individuals, but also often seen at the national level. Case.
Now someone wants to repeat the mistakes of the past.
It is the United Principality of Rose who wants to take the risk of trial and error this time.
The Principality has a… trait that can be called stubborn or paranoid, that is, once you target a certain prey, you will never stop eating it.
This feature is particularly prominent in its pursuit of warm water ports and the perennial war against Lapland. The search for a warm water port is based on the long-cherished desire of its geographical conditions and the development needs of the navy. The war against Lapland was after the demise of the old Gilmanian kingdom. Plain. Lapland is the most important area for the two major power expansion roads between East and West.
As long as Lapland is still in the human camp, the human camp can not only threaten the most important grain-producing area of the Principality from land-the barn area of Kiev to Kharkiv, but also transport soldiers from the sea to Karelia The isthmus and the Vyborg fortress directly threatened the capital of the principality, St. Petersburg. Conversely, if the Principality masters Lapland, it will not only relieve its worries, but also master the bridgehead attacking the hinterland of the human camp. It may even form a fleet of ships to go south along the coastline and launch landing strikes behind the front.
After the fall of Charlemagne and the rise of the empire, the importance of Lapland not only did not decline, but because of its geographical location, the empire could be trapped in a two-line battle and became more important. In view of the advantages of the Empire’s long-range attack weapons and the power of large-scale mechanized troops to quickly intersect and copy tactics in actual combat, the Principality, based on its own security and interests, eagerly wants to annex Lapland or put it under control to ensure that And the depth of the empire. However, this attempt was met with unanimous opposition from the entire international community, including the Kingdom of Albion, at the joint meeting. Under strong pressure, the Principality had to give up.
But after all, this is only temporary. Everyone knows that to let the principality give up their prey, only to give them a headache when they try to take risks, they will converge their untimely ambitions and retreat into their nests. . Considering the national characteristics of the Principality and the reality of the international political landscape, it is already a predetermined matter to set the Principality as the target of attack and to achieve the short-term strategic goals of deterring other countries. The pre-research work on relevant strategies and tactics is being carried out in an orderly manner. According to the agreement with Lapland, the list of military advisory missions dispatched to Lapland for "investigation and exchange" has also been initially drawn up, and the troops for "military exchange" are being selected In the formation stage, I believe that we should be able to complete all necessary preparations before the principality can't suppress the impulse.
But everything is in case.
Assuming that the Principality can’t control its emotions well, before the Empire completes the relevant preparations,
"Do you guys know what to do?"
"Just follow the will."
The men standing in the shadow made a cold response together.
The arrogant Walgrewo;
Jealous jerus
Reggie of Fury
Sloth
The gluttonous Gratoni;
All the remaining seven sins are assembled here.
With the fighting power of any one person, it is enough to quell a country, and the gathering of two is enough to wipe out any big country.
To gather five people... Of course, it would not be that they put on five different colors of clothes to form a five-color team, and walk for the moon to represent the moon to destroy the bad guys. It is also impossible for these five people to be scattered for use, and all the Principality forces that invaded Lapland will be returned, because this is seriously inconsistent with the strategic interests of the empire.
What the empire needs is not a war epic with dramatic effects, but enough to guarantee the impact and fear of the authority of the new order, that is, deterrence. When it comes to deterrence, the most intuitive and easy to understand is nuclear deterrence. When a huge mushroom cloud rises into the sky, flames and shock waves roll over the ground, nuclear radiation takes away life faster or slower, and the empty, devastated ruins will emit a green light at night... after the nuclear war... The spectacle of the wasteland world and the thousands of nuclear warheads stored in the nuclear arsenals of great powers are the foundations that once ensured order and peace in another world. In this world, the same thing can be done with a strategic attack technique, so "tragic deaths and injuries" alone may not achieve the required deterrent effect.
-If it is an era when humans can freely enter and exit the universe, we only need to find a space colony, and poison all the people inside with poison gas first. UU reading www. After uukanshu.com, the surface of the colony is thermally insulated, and propellers are installed to push the entire colony away from the Lagrangian point and aim it at a densely populated city on the surface of the earth-such as Sydney. , You can basically get the expected "shock and fear".
-This world will not usher in that era.
-Can be reviewed to replace with asteroids.
- Obviously excessive power for collision operations with asteroid-scale celestial bodies.
——Excessive impact not only fails to achieve deterrence, but also intensifies contradictions and detonates the overall overall battle in one go.
-Therefore, it is necessary to formulate a more effective and effective operational record.
Based on the above considerations, the final conclusion was "to assemble seven deadly sins and use the biggest and strongest blow to divide the Principality".
It is not a teamwork, nor a collective appearance of the second form. It is more shocking and allows fear to penetrate deep into the bone marrow and reach the terrible scene deep in the soul.
——I saw another beast coming up from the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, wearing ten crowns on the ten horns, and profane names on the seven heads.
This is a description of the "beast" in the holy scripture. According to legend, this beast is sometimes a big red dragon whose tail can sweep the stars, sometimes it is an antichrist walking around with a Babylonian prostitute, and sometimes it is an agent. The Great Red Dragon exercises power and has the number of six hundred and sixty-six, "Anyone who lives on the earth, whose name has not been recorded in the life book of the killed lamb since Genesis, must worship it."
There is no fixed form passed down, only a permanent name to prove its existence.
"Ask the name of Ru. It will surely become seven deadly sins."
That is, horror.
That's crazy.
That is, the seven sins as original sins
That is, a disaster that is absolutely insurmountable appears.
