Chapter 2904: Distress

The prince did not understand that there was a conflict between personal interests and national interests, but Uncle Wang knew very well that it was normal for such a large country to have a group of selfish people. Is it different in the Fire Nation? What the princess is doing now is betrayal, but there is still a large group of people supporting the princess.

Of course, Uncle Wang also knows that the problems of the Fire Nation and the Earth Power Nation are difficult to solve. The problems of the Earth Power Nation are actually similar to those of the Fire Nation. There are no economic growth points, so the money earned from exporting raw materials is also divided into assets. Continuously inflating asset values.

The real estate and prices in Yonggu City are very expensive. The difference is that the Earth Wall Country has a huge land area and a larger population than the Fire Nation. There is really no choice but to move or increase the price of exported raw materials. After all, the Earth Power Nation is The largest exporter of raw materials can transfer conflicts externally through pricing power.

The Fire Nation does not have such capabilities and has only one path: military expansion.

Therefore, every country has its own problems. Although the methods of deflecting conflicts are different, they all try their best to deflect conflicts. In such a general environment, the struggle for interests within various countries must also be fierce.

"You still can't understand why you were exiled so ruthlessly by your father for just raising a small objection, and even hurt your face?" Uncle Wang asked. Before the prince was exiled, Huo Huo The Lie King and the Crown Prince had a duel that was very characteristic of the Fire Nation. There was a fight between father and son. Naturally, the Crown Prince did not dare to attack his father, and ended up with a scar on his face.

"Because I raised objections and violated the king's authority." The prince said. He still believed that he had opposed his father, so he was exiled.

Uncle Wang said: "No, although my brother is indeed a cruel person, he is not that stingy. If it was just against him personally, he would not be so cruel to his own son. What you violated was not the Fire Lord. , but a military expansionist. "Uncle Wang did not give the prince any political lessons before, so he relied on the prince to figure it out on his own.

But now Uncle Wang feels that it is necessary to take classes, because the form is getting more and more subtle, and he has to prepare the prince. We can no longer wait slowly for the prince to strengthen himself, we must provide him with education.

The prince did not expect that there were cliques in the Fire Nation. He thought that everyone was a member of the Fire Nation and was working for the future of the Fire Nation.

"The Fire Lord does not just represent himself, but represents the military expansionists. And your ideas are obviously not in line with the military expansionists. The people you can attract must be those who oppose the military expansionists, such as me. At home, I You have been identified as a princeling. In fact, there are many people like me secretly supporting you, because we all believe that the expansion of the Fire Nation is destined to fail."

After hearing these words, the prince was surprised and couldn't help but said: "But why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Because you have been hesitating and trying to get your father's recognition. But now the situation is changing rapidly, especially with others adding fuel to the fire. I think it is necessary to have a chat with you." "Look at this painting." Uncle Wang said The prince gave him a picture and asked him to recognize it.

"This is Dulan." Taking the picture, the prince immediately recognized that the person in the picture was Dulan, and he looked very similar.

"I asked the court painter who had met Dulan to draw this. Since you also said it was Dulan, then you are right. This Dulan was Azula's swordsmanship teacher. He should have been killed, but I didn't expect it. He will appear in the Tu Qiang Kingdom. Of course, it is not ruled out that he has a twin brother, but I think what we saw is his true form." Uncle Wang knew that the prince knew little about the situation in the country after he was exiled, so he gave him some extra lessons. As soon as I said it, it was a night.

The prince was confused. He didn't expect that his sister was already a popular figure in the competition for the throne, and he didn't know that she was traitorous to the country and even cooperated with the enemies of the Fire Nation. Of course, I didn't expect that even though Uncle Wang left the Fire Nation, he still knew so much information.

As the prince, he felt that he had failed. He only had an emotional understanding of the domestic and foreign situations and was unable to make accurate judgments. To be honest, I feel very disappointed, even my twelve-year-old sister is doing better than me.

"No need to be like this, although you are indeed a little immature in terms of strategy. But you have a kind heart, which can make everyone support you, because what everyone needs now is stable development and construction, not war and tossing. And Azula didn't plan the route herself, it was all planned by this Dulan, and his ability is obviously extraordinary. "Uncle Wang couldn't guess what Dulan wanted to do.

As soon as the prince heard that he was related to Dulan, he thought of Dulan's theory that "defeat is what the Fire Nation needs most" and quickly told Uncle Wang.

After hearing this, Uncle Wang could only say that Duran had indeed thought very far. Can his idea of ​​relying on magical powers and converting technical troops into civilians for national defense really enable the Fire Nation to survive the difficult transformation and develop for thirty years? Uncle Wang knew that thirty years was a lot.

A dynasty on earth only has a history of two to three hundred years, and thirty years is one tenth of it. It takes ten years for peaceful reunification, ten years for finalizing the surrounding areas, thirty years for development and construction, and then thirty years of prosperity. Half of the dynasty's time has passed, and then there is asset appreciation, and there is no room for development. It continued to decline for about thirty years.

Then there are all kinds of temptations from the surrounding small countries, and domestic conflicts continue to ferment. It will take another thirty years. The last sixty years will be about tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, selling everything that can be sold, suppressing uprisings, all parties trying to establish camps, and local autonomy. , settled in a corner, and finally finished.

In fact, it is not only the country that is like this, the rise and fall of the rich and noble families are similar. In the end, everything that can be sold in the family is sold, and the prosperity is declining. It is because after finding no room for development, they can only live on the stock and cannot continue to increase. Isn't the stock just eating up the mountain?

After listening to the uncle's acceptance, the prince felt for the first time that the complexity of politics was far beyond his cognition. Although he is the prince, he is young and inexperienced. Not only did he feel a headache when he heard about the problems of the Fire Nation, but it was also the first time he knew that his father was on a road doomed to failure.

In the past, the prince did not oppose expansion, but he just thought that soldiers should be cared for. Today, I realized that everything is so realistic, personal wishes are so insignificant, and becoming the Fire King is not majestic, and even a bit tragic.

"Did father know that he would fail?"

"Yes, so he blocked everything on the day of the comet, when the power of firebending would increase. He hoped to take down the entire Earth Kingdom in one go, but if such an attack is carried out, it will definitely be a scorched earth strategy, and many people will die at that time." Uncle Wang said, "The Fire Kingdom will only become everyone's enemy at that time."

At this time, the Fire King is like Allen in Attack on Titan. There is an enemy on the other side of the sea. Through airships and firebending, he will launch an air strike against the Earth Kingdom and burn the earth with flames.

Allen has the rumbling, and the Fire King has the skyfire. The airships are lined up, and each one has a powerful firebender who sprays fire at the ground, which will burn everything.

Anyway, after burning the Earth Kingdom to scorched earth, the Fire Kingdom can be rebuilt, a new country will break out of the scorched earth, and a world with only firebending will be achieved.

Because the Fire Kingdom is really out of money, it can only rely on the comet day that happens once every hundred years to launch the final decisive battle. As for the wealth obtained after breaking through Yonggu City, it has been divided up, and there is no way to use it to launch other wars.
