"Why is this happening?" Dulin, who was traveling around the world, was confused when he learned the news. He did not think that this was the most appropriate time to launch a war.
From some aspects, the Federation is indeed in extreme trouble. The financial order has collapsed, the economy is in recession, and many of the citizens who are like refugees can hardly afford to eat. Although it is an economically powerful country, its economy has regressed for ten years due to a financial tsunami. This is already the weakest time for the Federation in recent years.
There is often a transition after some very stimulating sentences, and this transition is called a but.
However, it is precisely because the Federation is in trouble now that it should not sow the cloud of war at this time. The reason is simple. If left unchecked, it may take the federation longer to gradually recover, allow the market to become prosperous again, and the financial order to regain stability. In this process, the country will gradually undergo some changes to adapt to the present and the future. Without external intervention, it may take five to ten years for the Federation to regain its current appearance, but this does not mean that the Federation is a weak country.
Ultimately, the problem with currency depreciation and rising inflation lies in the additional issuance of currency and the inability of the national credit system to support the value of the federal shield. The depreciation of the value of money does not mean that the value of gold, silver, copper and iron has also depreciated. It does not mean that the value of gold, silver, copper and iron has also depreciated. A cannonball requires one material, and now it requires three or five. Everything is actually there. The only thing that has become worthless is the Federal Shield, not other things.
If there is interference from outside forces, the entire federation will unite, and the founding family will monopolize power in the war. This time, there will be no consortium to interfere with them or influence them. They can focus more on getting rid of all the internal enemies and unite them. Evaporate them directly in a rude and barbaric way, and then speak to the outside world unanimously. When public opinion is all on the side of the federal wartime government, something terrible will explode, and that is productivity.
When people no longer need factories and the state to pay them wages, they are willing to work.
When people no longer care about what they gain or lose, and everyone fights to resist the invaders.
The unprecedented cohesion allowed the federal wartime government to completely control the human and material resources of the entire society, and had a lot of privileges. Their financial economy, which might have taken a very long time to recover, would recover very quickly after the war. , especially when affected by war, when personal honor, disgrace, gains and losses become less important, the power that the entire society bursts out is enough to change many things.
The outbreak of war at this time is entirely to provide benefits to the federation!
The diplomat from the small country who was chatting with him smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The situation is still uncertain. I heard that the federal soldiers robbed the property of the imperial merchants and killed several merchants, but not all of them were killed..." , these words were a bit cold-blooded. If they were all killed, nothing like this would happen, but it happened anyway. The diplomat sighed and continued, "The Empire asked the Federation to hand over the murderer, but the Federation The two sides refused to admit that they had done such a thing, and both sides stepped up patrols and defenses on the border, and then... "
Although the border line is important in peacetime, it is impossible to have people standing guard on every inch of land. Most of the time, apart from the regular patrol teams, the border line is only the earth and the sky. But after falling into a state of tension, there were more people patrolling the border, and it was inevitable that they would encounter the other party's patrol team. According to people's opinions, the border line, which used to be peaceful, has become tense. Those soldiers patrolling overtime are not very comfortable to begin with. When they meet, they will inevitably blow their beards and stare, and then start quarrels.
Soldiers are always somewhat passionate, especially since the Empire and the Federation still have a history of war, so it's hard to know which key figure fired the first shot, and things become confusing.
Now the empire is asking the federation to hand over the soldiers who robbed the merchants, and it is also asking the federation to hand over the patrol team that fired first and let them appear in the empire's military court. This kind of request is indeed a bit excessive, and there won't be too much trouble if it is resolved privately. However, these requests are officially sent out in the form of diplomatic notes, and it is impossible for the Federation to agree to it.
When the stalemate continued, the top minister of the Empire's Ministry of Defense claimed in front of many reporters that if necessary, the Empire would seek justice for the dead border guards through armed war. And asked the federation to hand over the people to prevent the two countries from causing greater and more terrible consequences due to some personal mistakes.
The more people know about it, the less likely it is that the Federation will hand him over. Not only that, the Federation also claims that it is the Empire who should hand him over. All of this is a conspiracy by the Empire, confusing right and wrong. The Federation is not afraid of war if the Empire does not apologize to the Federation and hand over its people.
The two sides are fighting on the border, and the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger. A large-scale war may break out anytime and anywhere. Now the Imperial Southerners have begun to move north, almost evacuating the five cities immediately adjacent to the Confederacy. The cabinet, which had just made a fortune from the federal government, had a lot of money and even provided resettlement expenses and measures. It is said that the largest number of people were resettled to the west!
"If the negotiations in three days cannot reach an agreement..." the diplomat smiled bitterly again, "a war may really break out!"
A war between the Empire and the Federation would be a disaster for these small countries. First of all, they need to take sides. Regardless of whether they send troops or not, they must take sides. It doesn't matter if you stand in the wrong position. Anyway, in the future, Weiwei will be reduced to a small and low-ranking country. In fact, if you stand in the right place, there won't be much benefit. At most, it will just make some money, and don't think about anything else. The consequences of failure are too serious, but there may not be much benefit in winning. Really fucked!
At this moment, all small countries feel helpless and sad. Their national strength is not strong and they have no status in diplomacy. They always only have the right to choose, and they have no power to let others choose.
Dulin also sighed and asked, "Do you think a war will break out?"
The diplomat nodded, "It is very likely that it will break out. You know, the Empire and the Federation have a history, and there is no shortage of war-fighting factions in the cabinet and society..."
The extremely powerful empire was invaded by a second-rate small country. This became a shame that the people of the empire could not wash away. Moreover, the society promoted revanchism. Now that the opportunity came, some people would always make trouble. Many parades have been held in the empire, especially some veterans, wearing white washed military uniforms and military medals, standing outside city halls in various places, holding veterans' rallies, demanding that the cabinet and the federation go to war, and they are willing to do so in Rush to the front line as soon as possible to release the hatred of the past.
The faint sadness made Du Lin no longer interested in continuing the conversation. He said goodbye to the diplomat and closed the door. What a fool!
"I have to do something!" After putting aside those worries, he began to think about how to gain more advantages in this war. People are willing to launch wars and advocate revanchism. This is a big trend. He If you don’t go against this trend, then you must follow the trend. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and was about to make a call, but quickly put it down. Since you have to do it, make it known to everyone, otherwise your own value will not be reflected.
In the following days, Du Lin accelerated his "travel process" in the Northern Continent. Every time he visited a country, he would publicize the barbarism and cruelty of the Federation when it invaded the Empire without declaring war. He also had some old people do it. Photos and interview transcripts, and an exhibition hall was rented for the exhibition. Of course, these photos are actually fake. Cameras more than 20 years ago were not that clear. Besides, except for a few pictures that were preserved at that time, many of them had been destroyed or damaged naturally. While holding such an exhibition, Dulin spent money lavishly and purchased a large amount of materials to assist the Imperial Army and Navy.
After Mags heard the news, he shook his head and said nothing. Anyway, as long as this little guy sees the benefits, he will definitely not let it go.
The inside story of the federal financial tsunami had already been exposed, and Dulin's personal image reached a new level in the empire. He bought a large number of newspapers to promote himself, and touted himself as someone who won the "economic war" The Imperial Hero of the Federation. Many civil society organizations are supporting Dulin, and even the silent church has come forward and insisted on awarding Dulin a Purple Star Medal of Glory in recognition of his contribution to the empire.
Now he is using "his own money" to aid the imperial military, which has promoted the trend of donations in society, especially hometown associations, which openly solicit donations everywhere and put fixed donation boxes with what is written on them: "Donate even if you only have one dollar." "Money will also become the bullet that takes away the enemy's life" is a similar inflammatory slogan. But it happens that everyone likes this, and these people are still promoting Dulin's past and present. A young man who is full of self-improvement and realizes the dream of an empire is lifelike. This is simply a get out. Use this opportunity to fight for yourself. advertise.
The effect... is pretty good. A large amount of donations are transferred into the account of the Ministry of National Defense through hometown associations and other non-governmental organizations every day. Looking at the money, many people already know the answer, and war will definitely break out.
The reason is actually very simple. If the cabinet is not inclined to war, they will not accept these private war donations, which will not bring any benefit except scolding. Only when the cabinet wants a war and decides to fight one will they accept the donations with peace of mind.
Of course, this is only a good thing. There are always pros and cons to everything. Some people are willing to go to war, and some are not willing to go to war.
