Chapter 2030 The Madman Is Coming (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)
Just when Kai and Aphrodite were still struggling with these things, Gol finally came to Earth.
To be honest... this is difficult.
Gol wandered in the universe for a long time before finding the exact news about Earth... After all, this place is too secretive. Ordinary people or forces don't know the existence of Earth at all, and the forces that know the existence of Earth are very secretive about Earth.
This made Gol spend a lot of effort to get the star map of Earth from the Kree Empire.
Of course, Gol's methods could not be very gentle. On the contrary, the Kree Empire was stunned. They didn't understand who attacked them at all. This once caused the situation in the universe that had just calmed down to stir up waves again.
Previously, the Kree Empire's Judge Ronan and Thanos launched an attack on the core planet of the Xandar Empire, Xandar, which led to a very tense situation between the two empires. Strictly speaking, the strength of the Xandar Empire is not as strong as that of the Kree Empire.
Xandar's territory in the universe is very small compared to the Kree.
But Xandar has the Nova Corps. The Nova Corps is the foundation for the rise of Xandar. This corps is very special. It is selected from the Xandar people. The Nova Corps is composed of many Novas, who mainly fight through the "Nova Energy" generated by the super life computer Worldmind.
It can be said to be an artificial superman.
Each Nova has superhuman strength, speed and endurance, and can absorb energy, emit gravity pulses and radio waves through any part of the body - even through the whole body. They wear the standard Xandar Army Star Corps uniform. This uniform has a built-in life support system that allows him to survive in all environments, including outer space, and has a high resistance performance. The helmet of the costume has functions such as radio transmission, monitoring transmission, viewpoint telescopic, night vision sensing, thermal imaging sensing, and energy tracking. The Nova helmet can remain hardened when worn, and once taken off, it can become a soft material like cloth, which is convenient to carry when wearing civilian clothes. The clothing has super ductility and can eject electromagnetic flow to allow Richard to enter hyperspace and fly at superluminal speed.
The individual abilities of these guys are very strong, and the only drawback is that they are limited in number.
Initially, the Nova Corps was composed of the space militia and exploration agencies of Xandar. Later, the Corps developed into a 500-man force ranging from guards to centurions, including the leader of the centurions, the Nova Centurion Director.
Therefore, the territory of Xandar was limited... After all, with so few people, they can only patrol such a small area.
Fortunately, the people of Xandar are more peace-loving and trade-loving, and their desire for territory is not as strong as that of the Kree.
After all, the Kree are militarists. The essence of militarism is expansion. Militarism, also known as militarism, refers to the ideological and political system that takes militarism and aggression as the foundation of the country, puts the country completely under military control, and makes all aspects of politics, economy, culture and education serve the expansion of the army and foreign wars. Militarism is full of cruelty and reactionary nature, and has brought great disasters to mankind. Its basic theory includes the denial of peace, insisting that war is inevitable, and even believing that war itself is beautiful and desirable. Militarism is manifested in the militarization of all aspects of a country's political, economic and social life, as well as the policy of aggression and expansion. In militarist countries, war becomes the main purpose of the country. The survival and development of a country mainly rely on external plunder and expansion. In modern times, it is mainly manifested in Germany and Japan during World War II.
The Cree is a typical militarist.
All their resources need to rely on plunder.
Then they formed path dependence, began to expand and devour continuously, and then continued to devour.
The Cree is a bit like the ancient Assyrian Empire on Earth.
Militarism is full of cruelty and reactionary nature, and has brought great disasters to mankind. When mentioning militarism in China, people will first think of Japan, but in fact, many militarist countries have been born in history. Assyrian Empire, Sparta, Ottoman Turkey, Russian Empire, Prussia, Nazi Empire, Japanese Fascist Empire, etc.
Among them, Prussia is the most Mirabeau said: "Prussia is a country owned by the army, not a country owned by the army."
There is nothing new under the sun, and history is always repeated in disguise. All the militaristic countries in history have done nothing new compared to their ancestor, the Assyrian Empire.
The ancestor of militarism-the Assyrian Empire.
After the ancestors of Homo sapiens walked out of the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, they first chose to settle in the fertile crescent in the Middle East and established the first civilization with written records in human history-the 7,000-year-old Sumerian civilization. Human civilization originated in the Middle East, which is determined by the geographical location of the Middle East. The Middle East connects Asia, Europe and Africa. It is a place of "one bay, two oceans, three continents and five seas", connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It has been a transportation hub between the East and the West since ancient times. Sun Tzu's Art of War "must fight in exchange, and don't defend in exchange." The Fertile Crescent is the core of the Middle East. To unify the Middle East, one must first occupy the Fertile Crescent.
For thousands of years, different nations have gathered, communicated, and fought over the Fertile Crescent.
Empires rise and collapse very frequently. It is historically reasonable that the first militaristic empire in human history was born here. For more than two thousand years, Assyria was sometimes strong and sometimes declined or became a dependency of other countries. However, Assyria as an independent country and a relatively independent region has always existed. Starting from the late 10th century BC, Assyria suddenly rose to prominence. After two centuries of continuous conquests, Assyria finally established an empire spanning West Asia and North Africa, bringing the two major civilizations of the southern Mesopotamia and Egypt under its rule.
The Assyrian Empire's wars of conquest were famous for their brutality. They implemented the "Three Lights Policy" wherever they went, burning and destroying cities, plundering wealth, massacring residents or taking them into slavery. The famous tyrant in history, the inscription on the stele of Assyrian king Ashurnasirpa II, talks about his looting of Mesopotamia and Syria: “I filled the valley with the corpses of my enemies, reaching to the top; I cut off their heads and used them to decorate the walls. I burned their houses, skinned them and wrapped them around the city gates. I built the people alive into the walls and nailed them to the walls with stakes. Go up and behead him."
And the Kree are the Assyrian Empire in the universe.
They expand at an abnormal speed and devour everything around them.
But they can't stop, because once they stop, the Kree's own internal conflicts will doom them!
Originally, after Ronan attacked Xandar, the Nova Corps launched a revenge and completely defeated the star domain ruled by Ronan. (The Kree's imperial ruling system is a combination of militarism and warlordism. Although everything in the empire is controlled by their super biological computer "Supreme Intelligence", the territory of the Kree is so large that they must rely on A more cost-effective way of ruling, so they have a very unique system - the Accusation Corps system, an institution that controls the military power of the empire and maintains the law. Each member of the Accusation Corps will govern the territory under his or her own jurisdiction. he is They have supreme authority in their own territory. They have their own fleet and army, as well as a series of bureaucracies, and they can even be hereditary. The reason why Ronan hates the Xandar people so much is because his father is from Xandar. Died in the war... There is no way the universe is too big, and the planet under the Kree's rule is too far away from another planet. It would be too inefficient if the local and central governments only rely on fleets to communicate, so this kind of Weird system)
The Kree Empire has been at war...not just against Xandar, they have been on foreign campaigns non-stop for three hundred and sixty days, all year round. There are so many enemies, so for the sake of the stability of other fronts, they can only compromise... This is not surprising, they are not young, they will just burp after losing once or twice.
The Cree heritage is still very deep.
So it's not a big deal to compromise. We just need to wait for a while and then the other fronts will stop for a while before dealing with the Xandar Empire.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Geer suddenly came out.
Indiscriminately destroying two outpost planets of the Kree Empire, and directly destroying a fleet.
This kind of single-target combat capability makes the Kree immediately think of their old rival-Captain Marvel.
But the tactics are different. Although Captain Marvel will go to war with the Kree, most of the time, he will not kill them all. This guy has a brain and shows kindness to his enemies. But this time, there was not even a single survivor.
Therefore, the Kree people suspected that it was the Xandar Empire that was responsible.
After all, it's not that far away from the Xandar Empire.
Of course, if the Kree really want to investigate, they should be able to find out that this has nothing to do with the Xandar Empire.
Do the Kree people need to care about this?
You should know that another characteristic of militarism is that the upper class can easily be coerced by the lower class.
This is because the Cree are a society with extremely rigid social classes. They attach great importance to the concept of hierarchy, and the ranking of seniority has even reached a perverted level.
This thing is a bit like Xia Ke Shang in my childhood.
One sentence from ancient China can explain it - there will be some consequences for foreign military orders. That is to say, the people below are dissatisfied with the people above or even ignore the orders issued by their superiors. Logically speaking, it is the duty of soldiers to obey military orders, but subduing superiors comes from the spirit of Japanese Bushido. While samurai emphasize loyalty to their superiors, they also We also hope that superiors can respect the interests of subordinates. If subordinates think that their superiors have violated this agreement, subordinates can oppose their superiors.
This issue involves something deeper in Japan, so I can only briefly talk about it here. As we all know, Japan is a country lacking in natural resources and has a small area. Many contradictions are unavoidable and can only be faced head-on. All the bottom classes of society, and the bottom class in Japan, are the most severely exploited, and there is basically no possibility of further oppression. This social environment has caused Japanese society to be probably the earliest country in the world where power is concentrated and classes are solidified. Limited resources must be distributed centrally. Once the class that controls the distribution of power is slightly biased, the bottom class who are squeezed to the bottom line can only rebel. In ancient times, there was no such thing. Clear scientific guidance, but in Japan This society naturally forms a samurai class that protects distribution rights, and a plutocratic class that can allocate resources more rationally based on their brains and profit from them. However, the highest level requires these two classes to assist them in allocating resources, but they are unable to support them. Class, reclaim all distribution power, what then? ——Give policy!
While ensuring the top-level profits, give them the right to squeeze! As long as they can suppress the lowest level, it is their right to profit from anything between receiving and handing it over. In fact, there have been many situations in the history of Japan where the lowest levels were forced to rebel. However, Japan's territory is small and there is little room for maneuver. The strong side has never had the problem of empty troops or lack of concentration. It is very convenient to suppress them. They always attack when they show up, and the weak side has no problem. There has never been room for development. Like the Central Empire, the situation below has become a prairie fire and the top management has not received the information. It is impossible to happen, but Japan's strong side also has an advantage, that is, it knows not to kill the chicken to get the eggs, and to keep the sheep to gather the wool. Everyone at the bottom has a clear benefit, and they will lose it if they are killed, so they suppress it with force. After the situation is established, the middleman is invited to come out to negotiate how much rice and grain will be given, and then everyone should stop making trouble and go home and live a good life. Therefore, Japanese history does not mention peasant uprisings. Such events are so-called "riots."
During the most tense period of World War II, the famous "rice riots" occurred in major cities in Japan. And "the lower class suppresses the upper class" means that Japan's middle class squeezes the lower class too much, and the lower class begins to "riot." Or the higher-ups try to get their hands on the power that the middle-levels have squeezed out of their hands, and the middle-levels begin to fight back, suppressing the upper levels. This is the natural way for Japanese society to maintain class balance and maintain class solidification.
In modern times, with the input of modern scientific knowledge from the West, this kind of subjugation of superiors was soon joined by scientific guidance, and became somewhat specious. For example, in the 226 Incident, Kanji Ishihara created the myth of the Kwantung Army, which was considered by many to be the Japanese army's "subjugation of superiors". A typical case, so let’s think so. But if you are interested in this and are willing to delve deeper, you will find that this is not "the lower class conquers the upper class", but that in the power struggle at the top of Japan, one party takes advantage of the middle and lower classes. In the process, after the Wise Reform and the social changes, some people were able to jump from the lower class to the upper class. People at the middle level are the so-called young men in the Japanese army. They see that they can take a step further and jump into the top ranks. Opportunities, this kind of "lower restraint" has become intensified and out of control. To be honest, I feel that Japan was not defeated by the Allies at that time, and there was no war in Europe. If Japan was allowed to dominate East Asia, Japan, which had smooth sailing, would probably also This loss of control can be seen from the fact that Kanji Ishihara himself was pushed out of the center of power by his radical young men.
The Crees are similar. The upper-level Crees may consider gains and losses, or the overall situation. But those Kree warriors at the lower level who hope to make meritorious deeds and improve their social status don't have such a big picture. They only know that if they don't go to war, they won't be able to get promoted. So even if the central empire hopes to stabilize other fronts and then turn around to deal with the Xandar Empire, the people below don't think so.
When this trend of thought is combined with remarks such as patriotism and national dignity, it will immediately form a wave of public opinion.
A militaristic society like the Cree is particularly susceptible to influence.
For the upper levels, if they forcibly suppress this kind of public opinion, it will be harmful to themselves.
So, the war started.
In this way, the Kree and Xandar people, who had nothing to do with Gelbagang, started fighting again.
But Geer didn't care at all. After he got the Earth's data from the central computer on the Kree fleet, he rushed directly to the Earth!
The madman is coming!
