The small medical room has become a general office. Most of the time I just listen to it. It has been so many years since I left the Northland system. I am still a little unfamiliar with the new Lan Alliance. The opinion is obviously a bit silly.
But the more I listened, the more I frowned.
Whether the problem of winter food is big or small, even if this decision-making mistake is made, it can be made up when it is found that the situation is wrong. Even if the next year is a little harder and the national treasury will be empty for a period of time, it will not cause an irreparable impression.
But what made me feel that something was wrong was a concept revealed in it, a consensus gradually recognized by the northerners.
"There is nothing to fear from jihad, and in a few years we will be victorious."
Once people live too smoothly, they will naturally become full of self-confidence. Once the country has passed too smoothly, the entire nation will be too optimistic. In the past eight years, the Lan Alliance has indeed been too smooth. From a marginal force to an amazing Speed has become the focus of the mainland's attention, and it is understandable to be overly optimistic.
People always like to compare the past to emphasize the advantages of the present. In the eyes of some optimists, in the last jihad, humans could handle it with metal weapons. Supernatural powers such as holy light and magic are extremely rare in human society. Now, we have not only surpassed elves in magic, but also have new technologies and a massive population. We are simply fighting primitive people with magic technology, how can we lose.
No matter how much the "superior" emphasizes the cruelty of jihad, there is always slack in their hearts, and even those "superior" who emphasize the cruelty of war have little vigilance in their hearts.
And for me...
"... Holy war is easy to deal with? It can be done in a few years? This time is the last holy war, the last death fight without rules. It is very likely that it will not be done for decades or hundreds of years. Maybe there is no final winner at all, maybe Every day since the beginning of the magic tide, all the residents of the main plane will be at war, and perhaps the children of the future will not know what peace is at all."
This is not an alarmist. Before the outbreak of the magic tide in "history" and the destruction of the world, countless planes and the entire Ashe were burning in flames. It was an eternal war without hope, and an endless night without dawn.
Once the abyss unlocks all the restrictions, no one can predict the extent to which the final outbreak will reach.
Some people may say that the abyss only exists at the level of twelve gods, and the gap is not obvious, but in fact, the abyss of chaos is the last place where the losers of countless eternal holy wars belong, and no one knows what else is hidden in it.
Not to mention others, the original main god-level sun god and the oldest demon who invented death magic are not in the list of the twelve main gods, but I estimate that the actual strength may exceed several of the main gods.
The endless abyss represents endless planes and countless losers. When all restrictions are taken away, all losers have the opportunity to become winners. What will happen in the end, just thinking about it is terrifying.
Indeed, the main plane is the most fertile plane favored by the gods, but if hundreds or thousands of planes with countless numbers start to invade, how long the main plane can last, I am not sure.
So, from the very beginning, the grand strategy I formulated was to defend the country, stick to one side and contact allies, first get through a period of strength of the other side, develop technology and sharpen warriors in difficult times, and then plan a counter-offensive, but looking at the current situation, these young People probably want to take the initiative to fight the abyss.
"The number of young people enlisting in the army this year has exceeded expectations. The military ministries of various countries have decided to open up an additional 20 chapters through integration. That is to say, the number of active applicants to join the army has exceeded the expected plan by nearly 100,000..."
Although the young political official in front of him was tired, his face was flushed, and he was very excited, as if he was excited about the good situation in the country.
Indeed, even when a country is about to face war, young people among its citizens still actively join the army. In addition to proving the people's trust in the country, it also shows that in the eyes of the people, joining the army is a good way to become a soldier. Young people even more believe that both themselves and the country will get through the crisis, and they will be able to gain glory and benefits in the war.
At this time, I will not say nonsense like "These children are in a hurry to die?" Anyway, the cruel test is in front of me, so be more confident in advance... Even overconfidence is not necessarily a bad thing.
As a senior behind the scenes, instead of telling the harsh reality to the people to cause panic and distrust, it is better to turn this blind confidence into a beneficial factor as much as possible, and then try every means to win, even if you still have to face the cruel reality in the end... At least It was so "confident" to have survived a difficult period, and it was already earned.
But the people can be too optimistic, the young soldiers can be too optimistic, but the executive leaders and the military generals as commanders must not be too optimistic.
The more you need to stay awake during the critical period, an overly optimistic attitude may lead to overly optimistic inferences about the situation, and a wrong policy may lead to a series of troubles.
"It seems that the purpose is to pull these guys together and frighten them."
Hearing that the situation in the country was good, Renee smiled and nodded, looking over from time to time with pride, as if to show her merit, and said, "I'm still doing a good job."
I also smiled and nodded, as if complimenting, but I was a little unhappy in my heart.
"Forget about the others, you know the devil so well, and you are still so 'optimistic' as a leader. It seems that you have to take a good lesson... As a politician, you must always ensure that your true emotions are not exposed. So, let’s start by drinking 100% chili water and smiling.”
My heart was full of scheming and vicious ideas, but the happier I laughed, the room was full of peace, as if I felt that the situation was good.
"...You didn't tell Renee, didn't you, even, didn't tell me."
Heloise's words made me stunned for a moment. In this way, I did not share detailed information about the future with others. In this way, I really can't blame Renee for being too optimistic.
"...I didn't say it, but I've been doing it. If it's really good, she should be able to see my expectations for the future from what I've done."
"...Don't force others to be difficult, who can guess your old fritter's mind, I know your predictions, and I can barely guess your layout. Are you planning to give up the inland and stick to the North? It's not you who are so pessimistic and passive. style."
Heloise's words rang in my ears, and I looked at Renee and nodded with a smile. I received the other's smirk without any accident, and then answered Heloise in the soul connection.
"Yes, but how did you see it?"
"The undead empire of the Shiluo Empire has moved northward, the Church of Law has moved northward, the Dark Elves and Dragon City have also begun to move northward in recent years, and the goddess of wealth and other underworld church headquarters have also begun to move northwards in recent years. This should be your suggestion."
I nodded again, Renee was giggling again, and that Ivy was glaring at me again, when did I offend her
Now that the tide has come, and things will eventually turn out the way I expected, perhaps it's time to paint my blueprint for the future.
