Chapter 3714 Hatred

Traitors have always been annoying.

This is almost certain.

As long as he is a traitor, no matter whether the master he follows wins or loses, the final outcome will be different.

If he loses, needless to say, he will definitely be killed by the victorious party. If he wins, he will not be entrusted with the job because of the reason: "Since he betrayed his master once, he can betray his master a second time." heavy responsibility.

Even if he followed closely from the beginning and was rewarded based on his merits in the end, he would still be like an Anlehou who had no worries about food and clothing and had a high position but no power.

Precisely because of this relationship, the old Duke has always been in an awkward state.

Since he rebelled, he wanted to win.

But the question is, can this national war be won?

How to win?

Relying on the strength of Dashai City, there is definitely no chance, and I don’t think about it. Over the years, Dashai City and Airui City have fought against the coalition forces of York and Han City. In which war has the other side been unable to fight back and could only surrender?

No!

Not one!

It can only be said that Dashai City and the two coalition forces are evenly matched on the battlefield. This is already the best record.

In fact, this is just a polite way of saying it.

In other words, it was a polite and polite fighting behavior by the leaders of the three countries.

To put it bluntly, just stop there.

Any battle, as long as it involves these three countries, as long as it does not involve the most fundamental interests of the country, it will only be a test of military contact with each other, but it will never be a fight to the death.

This fighting pattern lasted for almost centuries.

But now, it has been broken by the old Duke. Should we say that he has the courage to innovate, or that he dares to be the vanguard of the times?

Of course, the above are just the assessment that historians are likely to make when the old Duke is still loyal, at least superficially loyal to the Orc King.

But since rebelling against the Orc King, his reputation has changed.

Some people call him a hero, while others respect him as the king of the new era and the pioneer of the future of Dashai City.

But more people call him a traitor.

However, it seems to me that the old Duke seems to be very fond of titles such as vanguard, but feels extremely resentful of being called traitor.

Mainly reflected in the fact that during the old Duke's reign, most of the civilians executed were those who did not obey his orders or regarded him as a traitor.

However, due to the large number of such people, even if thousands of people are massacred continuously, it will not have any deterrent effect at all. On the contrary, it will have the opposite effect - he massacred so many people in one breath. This guy is worthy of being a traitor. The ruthlessness of his thoughts is evident.

Infamy is easy to carry but hard to throw away.

In response, the undercover person next to the old Duke sent back the news: The old Duke was very worried, his beard and hair were falling out, and he was going bald soon.

Speaking of which, it was the old Duke who pushed himself to the end.

If the old Duke had not thought about taking the family further at the beginning, even if no more talents appeared after two hundred years, the family would still be able to be active in Dashai City as a top family for a long time.

To take a step back, if the old Duke's family does not produce any amazing and talented people from generation to generation, at most his family will be reduced to a great aristocracy, or teetering on the edge of a great aristocracy, after hundreds or thousands of years, but it will definitely not be possible. He will not fall below the threshold of a great noble.

For no other reason than the fact that the old Duke had saved the life of the Beastman King's father was enough to ensure that his family would be safe.

Of course, everything has a prerequisite, that is, there must be no rebellion.

Today's old Duke, in order to go further, chose to stand up, and standing up and rebellion are only different in name, but the actual content is the same.

That's why I say that he is pushing himself towards a dead end. He originally had a trump card, but he had to lose the two kings first. Who can explain this?

Of course, this is not the only thing that is stupid.

It's nothing more than a frame-up against me. Anyway, I wasn't hurt and my family was fine, so I can just treat it as a mistake and a mistake.

But after that, I tried to persuade the old Duke, and my words were sincere and my attitude was serious. I remember that the general meaning at that time was: Just vote. As long as you vote, you will be the only one to be unlucky, and your family will not be affected too much. At most, if it gets a little involved, it may become a middle-noble family, but nobility is nobility and still enjoys many privileges.

But the old duke didn't listen. He felt that he was the number one king, which was right. He was indeed the king in Dashai City - after all, he was the regent, the kind who even pretended to be the monarch.

But the question is, have you, the regent, been recognized by more people?

In other words, being surrounded by six monarchs from the four kingdoms, is your position as regent really secure?

If it were me, I would definitely be in trepidation and panic all day long.

After all, one cannot fight against the general trend and fail.

What happened next is known to everyone.

The old duke replaced the orc king and ruled the city of Dashai alone, but the voices in the city could never be unified, or in other words, there were always voices opposing the old duke.

But at this time, it was no longer appropriate for the old Duke to kill the people of Dasay City, because the number of people killed was already large enough, and further killings would not require political interference from other countries, and the people under his command would be able to tear themselves apart.

So, he chose to change his perspective and hatred.

And this hatred was placed on Airui City and York Han City, which had been at war with Dashai City all year round.

It's funny to say that the old Duke does have a political mind, but it may be feasible to use this political mind in war, but it would be a bit awkward to use it in places other than war.

I don’t even think about it, why does Dashai City come to war with Airei City and York Han City every now and then?

Is it really because of hatred?

If this is really the case, why not all three countries bring their ace armies to the Gobi desert and engage in a life-or-death battle with real swords and guns?

Why do the three countries not do that, but there are few major frictions and constant minor frictions?

That's because of political needs.

The perspective of hatred can be shifted, but it cannot be shifted too much, or in other words, the focus cannot be shifted to hatred. That is wrong.

After all, hatred will ferment, and over time, people will become hostile to foreign guests.

And this hostility is not just talk, it will be put into action.

Breaking, smashing, and looting may not be done, but things like maliciously raising prices, or not selling things, do still happen from time to time.

Exacerbating the hatred between the two countries and directing the hostility between the two peoples will most directly affect not the people themselves, but the national economy.

People have many choices. They can choose to be lingering in their own country or choose foreign products. Even if domestic products are out of stock, they can also choose not to buy them for the time being.

But the country’s economic losses cannot be made up in a day or two.
