Chapter 2481: Changing Situations

The Northern Entente allied themselves with the war without declaring it, and sent troops to the lands ceded to the empire in the last war. The entire empire shared the same hatred and immediately decided to go to war.

The empire enters a period of war.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether we enter the war or not. Anyway, this world is a cruel world recognized by gods, and the lives of ordinary people are still unsustainable.

Tanya graduated as an outstanding officer, was directly promoted to second lieutenant, and was sent to the north to participate in the war.

Dulan made a calculation for the empire, starting from the empire's resource reserves, and finally found that the wars that the empire could really fight were limited. If a full-scale war started, taking into account international factors, and other countries imposed a blockade and embargo on the empire, then the empire's The resource reserve can only be used for one and a half years.

The technology tree of this world is between World War I and World War II. In fact, it is very close to World War II. The war of World War II was not an ordinary test of logistics. Aircraft, tanks, motorcycles and trucks were all oil-swallowing beasts, all waiting for food. Even though the blitzkrieg was great, the logistics was a disaster.

If there was no domestic oil production, the empire would not be able to fight a war relying solely on the country's strategic reserves. Therefore, if the empire really expands outward, even if it goes smoothly in the early stage, if it does not occupy the oil producing areas, it will only be pushed evenly in the end.

Dulan looked at the situation in the empire and shook his head helplessly. They had really never read the art of war. They didn't know how to seek defeat before winning. They didn't know how to know yourself and the enemy and you would be victorious in every battle. They didn't know that soldiers and horses could move before food and grass were used.

The war started, but it was not violent because the Allied Federation only sent some magister troops across the line and did not send soldiers on a large scale. Therefore, the scale of the battle can be controlled within a certain range, mainly involving the exchange of fire between the magister forces of both sides.

At the same time, in the international situation, there are various conflicts between countries. Many countries support the alliance and express their willingness to sell weapons to them so that they can go to war with the empire.

The United Kingdom in the west warned the empire seriously not to act recklessly. They wanted to maintain world peace, but they were actually trying to go astray. After all, the United Kingdom is playing a continental balancing strategy, hoping that there will be no powerful country on the road so as to ensure its interests overseas.

Several countries are quarreling fiercely, but obviously now they have not thought that the war will expand and even become a world war. Just for their respective interests, they hope that this regional war can develop in the direction they want.

In the countryside, Duran found that everyone felt that this was a war that must be fought, a just war to defend the territory. After all, it was the northern country that started the war first, and the empire was defensive.

Dulan believes that the biggest problem of the empire at this time is not war but economic development. The northern territory was originally cut off by others, and the empire has not developed it very much. It can even be said that it has no ability to develop it. It can be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for the alliance. market.

As far as Dulan knew, there was nothing valuable in this land. It was just a large area of ​​forests and mountains with little development value. Of course, it is still necessary to consider national security, because this land can completely become a springboard for the Allied Alliance to invade the empire.

But Dulan believes that in the current situation of the empire, the military threat is small, and the economic threat and blockade are the most dangerous.

So Duran told them his thoughts: "I think the best way to fight this war is to break into the Allied Alliance as soon as possible, and then start negotiations, with the goal of reorganizing the empire's economy. You can change the occupied land into leased land, such as renting a A hundred years, and then the alliance should open the market to the empire in return. Now our problem is that we are starving to death. Instead of holding an empty broken pot, it is better to pawn the pot for food. "

However, the Imperial people do have a strong need for living space, and many people do not agree to give up land, because giving up land means giving up living space.

Besides, the world does not have nuclear deterrence, so we cannot expect other countries to be trustworthy.

"They are not trustworthy. We can fight back and take back the land. Isn't it good?" It's not like the empire doesn't know how to fight: "And there are also hard-working people in the Alliance. We can't just think about the empire. We have to consider The purpose is to unite the working people of the world. Leahy is just a pioneer. Land is the land of the working people of the world. This will not change. Do you think that the nobles occupy a large amount of land, but the hard-working farmers can only own a little. You have to pay various taxes on the land, and in the end you won’t even have enough to eat. Is this right?”

It was definitely not correct, so Dulan told them that they needed land reform and wanted the sun and the moon to change the sky.

The land ceded by others also belongs to other people. If humans all over the world unite, then your land is my land and my land is your land, and there will be no more disputes.

In addition to teaching, fighting is also inevitable. Duran established a 'Strike Witches' team specifically to defeat the feudal army.

The equipment of the magister in this world mainly consists of four parts: calculation orbs, magic rifles, magic mounts, and magic defense fields. Different countries have different magic mounts. Some are like flying motorcycles, and some are like sleds. The empire's magic mounts are single-legged.

As for the magic rifles, they are all the same. Some of the defensive fields are made into backpacks, and some are embedded in flying motorcycles.

The development of the calculation orb is the core secret of every country, and Magister Li Buqi has made great contributions to the calculation of the orb. However, the magic power of the magister itself is also very important. Sometimes God will give special care to certain magisters.

Duran's Strike Witches team uses external magic power. The flying legs can provide magic power, allowing the little loli to obtain a powerful defense field. At the same time, the weapon can be strengthened through the "field". Anyway, as long as the flying legs are installed, it can become a humanoid Gundam.

But if war can be avoided, it should be avoided. The main focus is still on propaganda, especially for the lower-level officers and soldiers in the army. Ask them if they are living well in the army and if they know why they are fighting.

The soldiers naturally have a bad life. Although there is food in the barracks, they have to endure the insults and corporal punishment of the superiors, and the food is not good. In addition to being brainwashed every day, saying that it is foreign countries that make the empire so poor, there is no other education at all.

Although it is true that the international environment has problems, there are also many operations by the upper echelons of the empire. Because the empire was originally a country ruled by feudal aristocrats, after the country entered industrialization, the small amount of profits were divided up by the aristocrats, and did not benefit the people at all.

When it came to development, the people spent a lot of effort, but the imperial aristocrats did not care about the people's kindness at all. It is estimated that in their eyes, this is a natural result. After all, they are nobles. Their blood determines that they don't have to suffer, just lie down and count money, and they only need to issue various orders.

There are also many nobles in the army, mainly small nobles. These are also the targets of Duran's rebellion, because small nobles are the core force of the ruling class. If they are rebellious, the big nobles will lose their foundation and will be finished.

It is also very simple to distinguish nobles. Those with a "Feng" in the middle of their names are nobles. Because the meaning of "Feng" is "from", the nobles in ancient times generally added the name of their own fiefdom after "Feng". Now there is no land fiefdom, but the custom of "Feng" is still retained. Anyone who is promoted to a noble will add a "Feng" in the middle of his name.
