Text Chapter 988 The Federation in the Eyes of the Enemy

"Xingyao Federation is a deformed country born in war. Since its establishment, it has been surrounded by enemies. For five hundred years, war has always been the main theme of this country. Therefore, a huge interest group based on war has also been born. !"

"To this day, hunting monsters and demon clans is still the pillar industry of the Star Federation. Among the top 500 sects in the federation, there are 281, which hunt monsters and provide defense against monster clans. Service is the main business, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains extended from it cover almost one-fifth of the entire federal employment population."

"Among the 'cultivators' of the ruling class of the Federation, nearly one-third are combat cultivators, and even non-combat cultivators are often engaged in work related to war."

"For example, a refiner of military magic weapons has a higher status than a refiner of civil magic weapons, and a literary and artistic cultivator is also more enthusiastic about creating war-related artworks, and even directly joins the army, using war songs to Boost your morale and be a fighter in a different sense."

"If you don't understand what 'interest group' means, just think about yourself, Li Yao the Vulture."

"Ten years ago, after you killed dozens of blood demon nobles in one breath on the Bone Dragon Star, I paid special attention to your information. A 'Starry Federation Disabled Veteran' status."

"Since you are a 'federal disabled veteran', you must know how many benefits and rights a veteran can enjoy in Star Federation."

"Free use of various public facilities and transportation equipment, tax relief for starting businesses and sects, high monthly disability allowances and retirement allowances... In the Federation, every veteran is an invisible rich man! "

"Proud, proud, honorable, eh?"

"However, I really want to know, when you are a 'federal disabled veteran' and enjoying all these natural benefits, have you ever thought about a small question?"

"Money doesn't fall from the sky. The Star Federation has fought for five hundred years, and how many martyrs and disabled veterans have been produced. The benefits and money you enjoy. Where did they come from?"

"It's okay for the victims, the pensions are all one-time. However, with the progress of the times, the rapid development of biochemistry and psionics, it is becoming more and more difficult for wounded soldiers to die. Even if they die, there is a certain chance that they will die." Transform into ghost cultivators, and ghost cultivators also enjoy the same rights as living people!"

"The result is that the group of disabled veterans and veterans in the Star Federation is getting bigger and bigger, showing a trend of being too big to lose. You have formed a huge interest group, exerting influence everywhere in the parliament, and constantly improving the status of soldiers. Status, more money, more benefits, more respect!"

"How can the status of soldiers be improved? War. There is only war! In peacetime, active-duty soldiers are a mess, let alone disabled veterans!"

"Look, don't think that we, the demon race, are the only ones who desire war. You disabled veterans also desire and need war. Without war, you are just a pile of shit, a pile of shit that doesn't even have a stink!"

"This is just a small interest group within the Federation."

"There are also those cultivating sects whose main business is to kill monsters and defend against the invasion of monster races. Those combat cultivators who don't have any skills other than killing monsters and demons, those who devote all the resources of the entire sect to the 'war Bonds' and the 'Victory Fund', do you think they really want the war to end like this?"

"To put it more directly, peace has really come. Why do you want so many combat cultivators to do acrobatics in the circus?"

"Vulture Li Yao, you may be the biggest miracle in the 500-year history of Star Federation, and you have been promoted to such an unbelievable level in just ten years. This is the only reason why I am willing to waste so much time talking to you. "

"However, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you are still too young."

"You don't know anything about real power, or how the world works!"

"You Xingyao Federation, since its establishment five hundred years ago, has been an out-and-out war machine. It must be lubricated by a large amount of war dividends to operate normally!"

"Five hundred years ago, you wiped out the demon kingdom of the East Pole, plundered a large amount of war dividends, and experienced prosperity in just over a hundred years."

"Three hundred years ago, when the dividends of war were exhausted, you aimed your spearhead at the 'Alliance of the Great Wilderness' on the Great Wilderness, launched seven expeditions, and finally conquered the entire Great Wilderness!"

"Relying on the war dividends obtained from 'conquering the wilderness', it has maintained the rapid development of the Federation for hundreds of years."

"But at this time, the entire Tianyuan Realm has been conquered by you, and there are no new demon kingdoms and demon cities that can squeeze out new war dividends, and the interest groups that have swelled to the limit during the hundreds of years of war cannot be separated by themselves." perish."

"So, you set your sights on the blood demon world, and plan to use the internal organs of the blood demon world to lubricate the gears and tracks of this war machine."

Li Yao laughed back angrily: "Senior Jin, I didn't expect you to turn black and white to such an extent! Even if the Star Federation is really a war machine, it was forced by the demon clan, right? Could it be that the Great Wilderness Alliance of Monsters are all benevolent men and women who are soft-hearted? Before we wiped them out, they didn't even think about killing us for even a second!"

"Didn't the sea of ​​insects and beast hordes from your Blood Demon Realm invade the Tianyuan Realm first in the last hundred years? Are you only allowed to invade, and we are not allowed to fight back!"

Jin Tuyi said calmly: "I don't want to discuss right and wrong, I just want to talk about the facts with you, a special cultivator, who was the invader and who was the defender in the East Pole Demon Kingdom and the Star Federation? , Discussing this kind of issue is meaningless at all."

"The fact is that no matter how innocent the Star Federation was at the beginning, it has been nourished by blood and corpses during the two hundred-year wars into a terrifying beast!"

"That's right, in the past hundred years, especially in the past few decades, the Blood Demon Realm has indeed launched countless tentative attacks on the Tianyuan Realm, even including large-scale attacks like the 'Battle of Daybreak'. If you want to say 'invasion', I Admit it too."

"But do you know when the Star Federation issued the first 'war bond' against the blood demon world?"

"Tell you, one hundred and forty-two years ago!"

"Why? It's very simple!"

"One hundred and seventy years ago, the Star Federation's war against the 'Great Wilderness Alliance' had just ended, and finally conquered the entire Great Wilderness."

"This protracted war has greatly consumed the national power of the Federation and brought the government's finances to the brink of collapse."

"Development of the wilderness with sparsely populated land and harsh environment requires a lot of capital investment, and the federal government can't even spend a single coin!"

"In order to raise funds, the federal government had to issue a new construction bond, using various resource rights and interests of the Great Wilderness in exchange for the support of the major sects."

"But none of the denominations would."

"The reason? Because looking around, the entire Tianyuan Realm has been conquered! In the foreseeable future, peace and development will become the mainstream of the Tianyuan Realm, and the status of fighting cultivators in the Federal Army and the major sects is bound to be greatly improved." decline."

"This is absolutely unacceptable to those interest groups born out of war!"

"So, taking advantage of the extreme lack of funds of the federal government and the verge of collapse, they forced the federal government to issue new war bonds."

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not accurate to say 'persecution'. In fact, in the Xingyao Federation that has just won a complete victory and conquered the wilderness, the status of combat cultivators and the federal army is at its peak, and it is enthusiastically supported by all the people. They control the entire parliament, they are the federal government!"

"In short, the federal government has issued a new bundled bond, which bundles the development bonds for the Great Wilderness and the war bonds for the Blood Demon Realm together. Demon world, carry out a pre-emptive strike'!"

"All cultivators and sects who buy bonds can obtain a large piece of spiritual veins, land, and... demon slaves after conquering the blood demon world!"

"Perhaps at the beginning, this was just an expedient measure for the soldiers and practitioners to consolidate their status. They may not really want to attack the blood demon world."

"But once the war bond is issued, it will wake up the beast that has just fallen asleep, and everything is beyond their control."

"The cultivators and sects who bought the bonds have become the most fanatical supporters of the war. You must know that there are many Nascent Soul old monsters among these people, and they have extremely strong influence and even control in the parliament!"

"Thus, a war bond was originally issued for the purpose of building the Great Desolation, and in order to honor this war bond, the Blood Demon Realm must be conquered."

"In order to conquer the Blood Demon Realm, we must raise more funds, mobilize more resources, and maintain a larger army, so we have to issue the second, third, and fourth bonds..."

The corner of Jin Tuyi's mouth twitched into a faint smile, but there was a faint sadness in his deep eyes, "At that time, the Xingyao Federation knew nothing about the blood demon world. Judging us against the level of the 'Great Wilderness Alliance', I thought that the Blood Demon Realm was at most an enhanced version of the Great Wilderness, which could definitely be conquered."

"Until you fully understand the strength of the Blood Demon Realm and realize what a terrifying opponent you are facing, this crazy behavior will come to an end."

"It's too late."

"The temporary suspension of the invasion plan of the Blood Demon Realm triggered the largest economic crisis in the Star Federation 107 years ago, leading to the collapse of fifty-five sects, and even two Nascent Soul bosses committed suicide."

"I think you must have learned about the economic crisis known as 'Black September' from textbooks, but you may not be able to know the truth about this economic crisis from textbooks." (To be continued.)
