Chapter 2749 Controversy

Now that the Far East government has signed an alliance with the "Continental Congress", it is not worth discussing whether to support the revolutionaries in the New World to fight for independence. Now the people in the Far East are more concerned about whether their government will send troops to the New World to participate in the war.

In the two weeks before and after the signing of the treaty, the "Motherland Daily" conducted two questionnaire surveys, and the statistical results showed that the people's tendency had changed greatly.

Before the signing of the treaty, about 40% of the respondents firmly supported sending troops to the New World, and the reasons showed strong idealism, such as:

"The War of Independence breaking out in the New World today is like the reflection of the War of Independence in the Far East eight years ago. We people in the Far East overthrew the oppression of the suzerain through a vigorous revolutionary war and gained independence and freedom. Of course, we should also support the revolution in the New World. Those who follow in our footsteps to build an independent country and get rid of colonial oppression."

"At this moment, just as at that moment, refusing to support the revolutionaries of the New World is tantamount to betraying our former selves and our ideals!"

"The young dragon slayer should not become a new evil dragon. A person with dignity must not live like he once hated deeply!"

"The revolutionaries in the New World are our good students! Don't be afraid to export revolution, my dear Davarish, if you don't export revolution, you will import revolution one day!"

"Helping the people of the New World to seek independence and liberation is a morally good deed. To do otherwise is tantamount to bowing down to the current imperialist colonial system and denying the legitimacy of our Far Easterners to build an independent country."

"Either support the suzerain country to oppress the colonies, or support the colonial people to rise up to overthrow the suzerain country's oppression, you must choose one of the two, there is no so-called 'neutrality'-choosing neutral is essentially choosing to support the strong oppressing the weak, nothing more than wearing a A mask of hypocrisy."

There are also 30% of the respondents who clearly oppose sending troops to the New World, and the reasons are very realistic:

"We sympathize with the revolutionaries in the New World. In order to support their independent cause, I am willing to donate money and materials, but there is no need to send troops to fight, and we must not let the compatriots around me go to other countries to bleed and die in order to help foreigners from far away."

"I don't know the revolutionaries in the New World. They are not relatives. Why should I spend money and guns to help them fight for independence? Just live your own life and mind your own business!"

"It's one thing to sympathize with the revolutionaries in the colonies, but it's another thing to help them fight for independence. Don't underestimate the strength of Fei Zhen, a veteran power. In order to support the revolutionaries, he offended the 'Empire on which the sun never sets' and upheld justice. The price is too high for us to afford."

Among the tens of thousands of questionnaires, about 30% of the respondents said that whether they support sending troops depends on whether they can get enough benefits.

"If the independents promise to cancel the tariffs on our country's industrial products exported to the New World after they come to power, then I will support sending troops, otherwise, go to sleep as soon as possible!"

"If we support the independence of the people of the New World, will we be able to buy cheaper fruits, grains, tobacco, cotton, livestock and magic crystal ore from the New World? If so, I will support it, and it will be fine if we don't thank you for it."

...

The results of the questionnaire survey released after the signing of the treaty showed that the rate of support for sending troops to the New World soared to 80%, while the rate of opponents dropped to less than 10%, and more than 10% of the respondents said they didn't care.

Comparing the statistical data of the two questionnaires, it is not difficult for Qiao An to find that the group who originally held the third position and was waiting for a price, read the details of the agreement concluded between the Far East and the Continental Congress, and learned that the government of the country supported the independence movement of the New World You can obtain many benefits including the controlling stake in the super-large magic crystal mine and free trade agreements, and then control the energy supply of the entire Vales world, turn the vast new continent into an emerging market with great potential, and clear the way for the export of domestic goods overseas. Obstacles, generally feel satisfied, and turn to join the camp that supports sending troops.

As for the camp against sending troops, it was split into three factions after being strongly impacted. Only a few people still insisted on the conservative view of "sweeping the snow before the door", and the others either jumped back or wavered.

By subscribing to newspapers and periodicals published by the New World and the Far East, Qiao An can understand the public opinion of the two places to a certain extent, but there is another group that is obviously related to the signing of the contract, but their voices are not heard in the public opinion circle.

This silent group ignored by the civilized world is the aborigines of the New World.

Joan felt that their voices should not be ignored.

Asa people do not have a newspaper of their own, and have been unable to express their voices through traditional media. Fortunately, times have changed, and there is also "cloud network", a platform that is more convenient and open than traditional paper media. Residents express their opinions.

In addition to asking the Asa students such as Conti and the Walsonger sisters and brothers for their views on this covenant, Joan also specifically searched for the opinions of Asa users on the Yunwang forum.

He found that the vast majority of cloud users shared the same standpoint as Conti and other international students, and expressed their gratitude to the governments of the Far East and Canaan for safeguarding the interests of the aborigines.

At the same time, the attitude of the Asa towards their allies in the Far East and Canaan - the "Continental Congress" - was more complicated.

On the one hand, the Asa people believe that these so-called revolutionaries, while trying to overthrow the oppression of the suzerain country, did not realize or deliberately concealed the fact that they themselves were cruel oppressors to the aborigines and black slaves!

The aborigines of the New World, especially the aborigines living in Midgard and Alfheim, the two former colonies of the Ashan Empire, rarely had the opportunity to deal with the Fijians in the past. The kingdom lacked understanding, and there was no grievance to speak of. It had no motivation to take up arms against the army from Feizhen.

On the contrary, the aborigines and the colonists have a long history of grievances, especially in the Midgard area, where the conflicts between the two sides are extremely fierce and the grievances are deep.

Since the Continental Congress inherited the legal system of the former colonial government, it is theoretically also the enemy of the aborigines. Rather than assisting the old enemy against the suzerain, the aborigines should be more motivated to help King George III of Fiji suppress the rebels in the colonies.

In fact, the Wali tribe in Jotunheim is a practitioner of this concept.

In Midgard, and even Yalfheim, which has not yet been involved in the war, there are not a few aborigines who agree with the concept of the Vali tribe.

In the first year of the War of Independence, Fizen's army won successive battles, but the prospects for the Continental Army were bleak. If this momentum continues, at least the Walsong tribe is likely to give up their neutrality, accept Earl Winthrop's solicitation, and join the camp of Feizhen.

However, who would have expected that at the critical moment, a strong man would fall from the sky, and the Emperor of the Far East would forcefully change the situation in the New World with his own strength. Through a covenant involving the colonists and aborigines of the Far East, Canaan, and the New World, these four forces would be tightly bound. Binding them together, they reversed the course of history in the world of Vales.

Is history created by the people, or does it mainly depend on the major decisions made by those heroes at critical moments in history?

Influenced by enlightenment thoughts since childhood, Qiao An used to believe in the former. However, since he came to the Far East and got acquainted with the talented emperor, as he gradually got to know him better, Joan's belief could not help but waver.
