Chapter 2877 Worry
In fact, there are many countries that have attempted military expansion in history, and more countries have become stronger by relying on military expansion, but the final result of expansion is to make wedding clothes for others.
For now, there is no problem with the military expansion of the Fire King. When his military expansion is hindered and he cannot further expand his victory, the prince's route will be accepted by more people, and the Fire Nation will turn from external to internal. Military facilities will also be converted to civilian technology, and military expenses will be greatly reduced. In peacetime, the Fire Nation can still develop relatively smoothly.
Even if the Fire Nation is a defeated country, as long as it has an industrial base and can produce industrial goods, it will face a vast market. And because it has been defeated and is no longer allowed to develop military industry, talents will be converted to civilian use and can develop the economy. Even if there is compensation, as long as there is a huge market, the money lost can be earned back.
In short, whether the Fire Nation loses or wins, life will not be too bad, because they have stepped into the threshold of industry and have cultivated a large number of talents through education. These talents and technologies can be transferred from military industry to civilian use and can be developed.
If you can win, you can expand your territory. If you can't win, you can develop internally. It's no loss anyway. However, the path of "bending master supremacy" proposed by Duran to the princess is very insidious. It can be said to be a provocation, provoking conflicts between bending masters and ordinary people.
However, this is something that will be faced sooner or later, especially as ordinary people gradually develop, this contradiction will expand.
In fact, if you look at the development of civilization, you will know that when civilization is weak, even it will deny itself, but when it develops to a certain extent, it will begin to tell its own story, and it will conflict with the civilization it has followed.
When ordinary people are weak, it is okay to deny themselves and follow bending masters. But as ordinary people develop, their strength becomes stronger, and they are eager to tell their own stories, the existence of bending masters becomes very annoying.
So in the plot of the second generation, the contradiction between ordinary people and bending masters broke out completely, and both sides had various ambitious people and terrorists to make trouble. In the end, even gods appeared, and they were fighting hard.
While Princess Azula was trying to win over bending masters everywhere, her brother was struggling to pursue magical powers. An and the brother and sister of the Shuishan tribe started their journey. On one hand, they were looking for a teacher who could teach him the art of controlling the beasts, and on the other hand, they were completing the travel project he wanted to complete a hundred years ago. At this time, An still did not deeply feel that the world was shrouded in the shadow of war. He did not realize how powerful the Fire Nation had become.
The exiled prince followed with his warships and chased them in various ways. He was very anxious to redeem himself and regain his father's recognition. But his uncle knew that the prince did not actually need to be recognized by his father. The prince just needed to be a good prince. It was just that the prince was still confused and could not tell his story firmly.
The exiled prince was doubting himself. What the uncle had to do was to accompany him to strengthen his heart, get out of confusion, and confidently tell his story. At that time, the Fire Nation would usher in a new era.
As a wise general of the Fire Nation, he had made great military achievements for the Fire Nation. Although the uncle seemed to be casual, he was full of wisdom. He knew very well that this country could not continue to expand. At the same time, he also knew that his eldest nephew needed company, so he had to slowly strengthen his determination.
In fact, if the prince had half the determination of his sister, things would be much simpler. Sometimes the uncle would think of Azula's affairs. She was very confident, but her aggression was too strong. She would only continue to expand and it was difficult for her to stop and think about changing her development path. However, the sister was indeed much more determined than her brother.
The sister was indeed determined, but because she was too confident, she would not judge the situation and think that she was always right. In the end, she was deserted by everyone and only thought that others were wrong, not herself. In the end, she went crazy.
Recently, the uncle's spies in China also sent some new intelligence, including the princess and her new swordsmanship teacher. The new swordsmanship teacher and the princess got along very well, which surprised the uncle. He thought that the princess would break the teacher's ribs and throw the teacher out of the palace. Unexpectedly, they mixed together and often went out of the palace and went in and out of the wine shop to give speeches.
The content of these speeches made the uncle a little uneasy. They were all some emotional words. The princess must not have been like this before. Could it be that the swordsmanship teacher taught her?
Uncle Wang asked someone to check the background of the swordsmanship teacher.
"Don't let the capital city get into trouble." Uncle Wang knew that the situation was about to change. No one could control what would happen in the future, not even his ambitious brother. If things went wrong, not only would the war get out of control, but other conflicts might also break out.
The young man traveled around with his magical power and learned about the actions of the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation occupied many colonies, and there were rebels in many areas. However, the rebels were very weak, and An helped various rebels fight against the Fire Nation's army along the way. It felt very easy to fight.
Of course it was easy, because An was not dealing with the main force at all. The main force of the Fire Nation was mainly in two directions, one was the capital of the Earth Power, Yonggu City, and the other was the Water-Shan Clan in the Arctic. And An and his friends only encountered the regional security forces, which were either troops with little combat effectiveness or pseudo-troops, and could be said to be vulnerable.
You should know that the local security forces are often unable to take care of themselves. At the end of the war, there will even be soldiers who become farmers. There will even be local landlords who beat them for food, or they will be reduced to exchanging weapons for food. There is no way. The later the war is, the more difficult it is to expand. The occupied places will only be squeezed and not invested. The security forces will also have a very difficult life. In order to eat, they can only find ways to cultivate land or exchange weapons for food.
After all, the security forces are not combat troops. This makes the young Shentong have hallucinations. He thinks that the Fire Nation is just like this. He can be defeated with just a casual move. I don’t know why the locals don’t resist?
An and his brother and sister fought together. This brother and sister, the sister can control water, but the brother can’t. He is just an ordinary person. Control also requires talent. Some people are born with it, some people can learn it, and some people can’t learn it. And there are many people who can’t learn it, and they are completely out of touch with control.
In addition to the three people, there is also a flying bull, which is furry, has six legs, a long tail, two horns, and is about the same size as an elephant. There is a spacious saddle on its back, which allows the three people to lie comfortably in the saddle. With such a flying mount, traveling is also very comfortable and you will not feel tired. Although the three are still teenagers, they are also very comfortable eating and drinking along the way, or hunting and barbecue by themselves.
The children of the poor have to take care of themselves early. Because of the war, the mother of the brother and sister has died, and the father has joined the guerrillas and fought on the front line all year round. They not only have to take care of themselves, but also take care of the old, weak and disabled in the village, so they are responsible for hunting and cooking. In particular, the brother is an all-rounder, with a good cooking skill, and takes care of all kinds of housework.
While the sister and An concentrate on practicing to cope with the battle, the three have a clear division of labor, support each other along the way, and establish a deep friendship.
