Chapter 2553 Intelligence
Suddenly, I turned from a victim to a demon. This 180-degree change was really uncomfortable, and even very aggrieved. It was like being hit hard by someone and just wanted to fight back, but was stopped by someone who was biased. Not only could I not fight back, but I was also told that it was the fault of the people who were beaten from the beginning of the fight.
This was very unfriendly to the indignant Eldians inside the high wall, and they wanted to fight back.
The three diaries of "Grisha's First Half of Life" recorded many details outside the wall, including his failed uprising. The people inside the wall were stunned. They didn't expect the truth of the world to be so unfriendly.
In other words, they have been wrong to promote themselves as the last humans. Not only are they not victims of the giants, but they are demons who have ruled the continent for 1,800 years. But why is there no news inside the wall? There is no historical record at all. It is only a short hundred years. How could such an important history be forgotten clearly inside the wall?
"That's because the Founding Titan can brainwash." The patriarch of the Reis family told the truth: "As long as they are Ymir's people, the Founding Titan can tamper with everyone's memory. At the beginning, the 145th king gave up the continent for some reason, built three walls, and modified everyone's memory."
"..."At this moment, everyone didn't know what to say. Are they just puppets in the end? There is really no freedom at all.
"Are we, the Survey Corps, going to die continuously for a hundred years because of a lie?" Captain Erwin wanted to cry but had no tears. Not only did they know nothing, but they also had to inherit the sins of their ancestors.
"What should we do now?" Hanji's smart brain also crashed a little. She couldn't help but look at the captain, hoping to know what the future should be like.
"Clean up the Titans first." The captain didn't know what to do next. He needed time to think, but no matter what, the Titans should be cleaned up first before they can continue to walk outside the island.
Everyone's heart was heavy. At this time, after Allen knew the truth outside the wall, he only wanted to make the murderer pay the price. He will settle accounts with whoever sent the giant to break the wall and whoever let the giant attack Eldia. If the enemy is on the other side of the sea, he will go to the other side of the sea.
The top leaders are discussing fiercely whether to make the truth public so that people all over the country will share the same hatred.
"We can't be without enemies. If the giants are no longer a threat, we must have another enemy to control the people. Only then can they submit to our rule." This is the idea of aristocratic politicians. The country cannot be without enemies for a day. Without enemies, there is no cohesion.
This enemy can be a plague, a terrorist attack or a powerful enemy country. Only with enemies can everyone feel a sense of crisis and manipulate the people to do irrational things.
Unfortunately, Duran has already let everyone know who is the real enemy and who is the real friend. The first lesson of struggle is to distinguish between enemies and friends.
The giants are not enemies, and the other side of the sea is not all enemies. The real enemies are in the temple, and they are the wolves and tigers of the hereditary nobles. Those nobles whose descendants are all superior to others.
After solving the giants, they will set up a new enemy. This is the idea of the nobles.
In fact, the queen who succeeded to the throne in the original work also did this. Anyway, civilians can't stir up trouble, because they can't participate in government affairs except joining the army, so apart from venting their anger, there is no way to improve their current situation or practice their ideas. Everyone becomes a small wave in the torrent, just going with the flow.
But now the militia is completely different. A large number of civilians with ideas have joined the management through exams. They have their own ideas and are not led by the nose by the top.
The militia is discussing that not only officials, but also ordinary soldiers can write reports. Everyone spoke enthusiastically about what happened.
Ymir first questioned the content of "Grisha's First Half of Life". She said that since Grisha lived in the quarantine zone, his understanding of the world must be limited. He said that the world hated the Eldians, but I'm afraid there is not enough data to support it. It's just based on his own experience and the unfair policies of the Marleyans that magnified the world's malice towards the Eldians. So the world's true attitude towards Eldia still needs to be verified by them themselves.
Indeed, these three diaries contain more or less Grisha's subjective attitude. Grisha had already admitted this when he was in the militia, so he wrote a book called "Grisha's Second Half of Life 1" in the militia. Because the second half of his life has not yet been completed, it is the first book. He wrote about his reflection and correction of his previous life, and used new theories to make up for his shortcomings.
As Ymir said, Grisha's shortcoming is that his pattern is limited to the quarantine zone, and the quarantine zone has limited knowledge of the outside world because all the news is filtered by Marley.
Besides, even if it is a real Marleyan, how many people can understand the world? In this era, technology is not very developed, and the communication between countries is limited. They all understand the outside world through limited international media.
So it is really a classic joke to say that the whole world is an enemy.
Allen: This world is the enemy of the Eldians.
Eldians: Why don't I know?
Allen: I will kill 80% of the population.
Fans and idols also have a similar relationship. Fans say: Even if idols are enemies of the whole world, I will support you. Idols say: I will never be enemies of the whole world. Fans say: I will help you become the world's public enemy.
When you are deeply in love, you can't tell whether you are a hater or a fan.
Grisha hated Marley at the time, so he loved Eldia a hundred years ago, completely ignoring the 1,800 years of harsh rule of the empire, and even imagined that the whole world was looking for excuses to target the Eldians. So his three diaries gave his son a wrong perception, and then Alan really turned Eldia into a world's public enemy. It seemed to be for the good of the Eldians, but in fact it was completely the opposite.
At this time, rational investigation should be done, and people should be sent to various parts of the world to understand the real world.
The task of investigating the outside world was naturally handed over to the militia. In the past few years, they have developed jet planes fueled by ice blasting stones, and they could have left the island to investigate abroad long ago.
"Welcome to the industrial zone. What you see now is the plane. Next, you will fly to the mainland. This is the map. Someone will contact you when the time comes. Don't worry." Duran said happily to the selected people, including the illegitimate daughter, who will also participate in this foreign reconnaissance activity.
To understand the real world and see how the world treats the Eldians, they have to collect first-hand information.
"Guarantee to complete the mission." Each militiaman solemnly promised that he would bring back real and objective news, so that everyone would not have to rely solely on Grisha's second-hand news.
