Chapter 2480 The More You Learn, the Worse It Gets
After listening to their children, the parents also came to Duran's classroom. These poor parents also wanted to know why the empire was like this. They worked hard to industrialize and save money to build factories, but now the products of the factories can't be sold? Why is it like this?
Because reality is so cruel. How many people who start businesses can succeed? Not losing your underwear is already a lesson learned.
Duran was also happy to teach them, and said to them: "I, Duran, came to the empire to do only one thing, that is, equality, equality, equality!"
The parents were very excited and said that they would follow Duran. Anyway, they would either starve to death or die on the battlefield. Not only did they have no hope, but their children had no hope either. It would be better to break out of their own path.
So they worked during the day and came to class at night to learn knowledge and even conduct military training. Duran also taught children during the day and adults at night, and he was very busy.
Duran taught them the international situation, taught them the economic problems of the empire, and taught them that aggressive wars had no future. Their best choice was to change the industrial structure and produce new products that the whole world could not refuse. He built a beautiful blueprint for the people around him.
However, the international situation is not so simple to summarize in one or two sentences. This is a different world with a similar territory to Europe.
In the west, the continental balance policy of the United Kingdom has been destroying the relationship between the continental countries and sowing discord.
In the distance, there is also the United States, eyeing the world market. In the northeast of the empire, there is also the giant Federal State.
The world is gradually forming two major camps. Once formed, the empire cannot be immune.
Coupled with the short-sightedness and wrong strategic thinking of the top leaders of the empire, as well as the bad geography and messy economy, everything gives people a feeling of chaos.
Everyone knows that there will be a war, but they don’t know when and where it will happen. Any friction on the border may become the fuse of the war.
Because there are no nuclear weapons and no deterrence, launching a war is still the only choice for the country to transfer contradictions and obtain a living environment.
The empire is surrounded on all sides. In fact, from top to bottom, there is an idea of breaking the shackles and striving for more living space. But if they really want to explain their so-called struggle for living space, they can’t say anything.
So Duran told them that the industrial structure of the empire must be changed, light industrial rural enterprises should be established in rural areas, urban workers should go to the countryside to work, and produce light industrial products such as clothes and shoes. In addition, they should spend money on publicity, promote the name of Empire Manufacturing, attract excellent foreign investment, and further integrate into the international market.
Of course, heavy industry cannot be abandoned. The empire is in a place where four wars are fought. If there is no heavy industry as a foundation, it would have been flattened by other countries long ago. Heavy industry should take into account both civilian and military use, and vigorously develop refined processing. Duran will give these technology trees in the future.
In a word: "Spend our time praying on more meaningful things. We don't rely on the immortal emperor, we only rely on ourselves."
And put forward the slogan: "Equality and self-reliance, Lexi manufacturing." Lexi is another name for the empire. The name of the empire has nothing to do with equality, so it is called Lexi.
The empire was originally a feudal country with clear class divisions, and it must be rebuilt.
On the other side, Tanya is in the military academy to learn how to become a qualified soldier, learn more military knowledge, and learn how to use calculation beads and weapons. She is very adaptable to the rules of the army. Although the rules are very strict, Tanya thinks that such rules are just a drizzle for her. As long as she follows the rules, she will get rewards and grades. She is as indifferent as a machine, but she feels extremely safe.
As long as she works hard to improve her strength and gain the attention of the upper level, she thinks that one day she can sit in the office and spend her life in peace. I don’t know how she formed such a naive idea. She knows that existence x is an omnipotent existence and that her experience is a conspiracy of existence x, but she still buries herself in writing her own script and hopes that the whole world will cooperate. This mentality is like a hen begging the fox to let her go and a deer begging the tiger not to kill her.
However, Tanya is really like a fish in water in the army. She also tortures other soldiers for fun under the pretext of education from time to time. She has no concept of equality at all. She completely embeds herself in the rules of the empire and regards herself as a member of the empire's ecological chain. She seems to have never thought that when she can torture her subordinates without regrets by relying on the rules, the people above can also torture her with the same attitude and reason.
Tanya never doubts whether this rule is reasonable. Anyway, she is just a screw of the rule.
It can only be said that the real concept of hierarchy is to make everyone unaware of the hierarchy, and everything seems to be taken for granted. When others go to aristocratic schools, when others are bossy, when others eat and drink, the lower class people just think that these are what the upper class deserve. The highest level of competing for fathers is to make the lower class feel that all kinds of injustice are not caused by competing for fathers, but should be so, and no one in the whole society will find anything unusual.
Now the rule of the empire is that the upper class can oppress the lower class without any bottom line. As a traverser, not only does she not make progress, but she also follows suit to oppress those who are weaker than herself. No wonder she never thought of resisting after being oppressed by Existence X. It seems that there is no spirit of resistance in her consciousness.
"It's really a bad atmosphere of old-fashioned soldiers. The more you learn in the army, the worse it gets." Duran was very disappointed, but he was much more satisfied when he saw the situation in his elementary school. All the children became brothers and sisters, not only comrades-in-arms but also compatriots. They learned from each other and made progress together. Although there were differences in positions, everyone's dignity was equal. The superiors could not beat or scold the subordinates, and the subordinates could also make suggestions.
Everyone was together not to prove that they were better than other soldiers and more in line with the rules, but to rebuild the empire, the great goal. Everyone was a soldier, but a thinking soldier.
Two years was enough for Duran to establish a base in the countryside and build an equal and powerful military force.
When Tanya was nine years old, she graduated early. At the same time, the Northern Alliance brazenly invaded the territory ceded to the empire in the last war and sent troops into the empire without any notice.
The empire, which had been preparing for war for many years, finally found an opportunity and the war broke out.
The war has started, and the eyes of the whole world are looking over. Those who sell arms sell arms, those who act as peacemakers act as peacemakers, and some who are eyeing and want to get involved.
It can be seen that the current situation in the world is very delicate, and the slightest movement can trigger a series of unpredictable developments.
The situation of the empire is not good, because while they want to go out and occupy the market, there are also many competitors who are eager to kill the empire, a competitor with good industrial strength.
However, the empire is now on a legitimate basis, and other countries are not easy to take action, but if the empire's war expands the scope of attack, they will definitely not give up. Therefore, every decision of the empire has attracted the attention of other countries, and they are all waiting for the empire to make a mistake.
And it just so happens that at this time, the top leaders of the empire and the military really have strong wrong ideas.
