Chapter 1447: War is coming

After experiencing the form of a demon snake man, Joan picked up a dragon scale peeled off from Li Xini Bloodstone, intending to become a strong black dragon.
Unfortunately, this attempt failed.
The vitality level of the strong black dragon is too high, which has exceeded the upper limit of the magic power level of the 4th "transformation".
Qiao An regrets not being able to turn into a dragon. You can only wait until the ability to cast spells improves in the future, give "Transformation" a higher level of magic power, and try to change the dragon.
...
Perhaps related to the death of Li Xini Bloodstone, after Joan returned to school, as time went by, he felt more and more that the pace of war was approaching.
First, the clues can be seen from the direction of the public opinion in the newspaper.
Since the beginning of October, the front page articles of the Midgard Tribune have almost all been related to the mine dispute. The criticism of the neighbors in the north has become more and more fierce. Some articles have even radicalized the public appeal for Midgard The colony waged a war against the Fibon-Jordonheim colony.
It is not surprising that some people wrote such radical articles. It is strange that such articles could pass the news censorship of the colonial authorities and be publicly reported in the newspaper.
Joan had to suspect that the articles in the newspaper that incited and propagated the war nakedly indicated that the Midgard military was preparing for a full-scale war.
The radical and belligerent atmosphere quickly swept across the community of Midgard in the fall of 1621, and even the university’s
ivory tower
was affected by this atmosphere.
On the campus, in the cafeteria, where young people gather, there will always be discussions about war, and opinions that support war against Fijians always occupy an overwhelming majority.
Not long ago, Joan was dragged by Audrey Qiang to participate in the "skull society" debate, the theme of the debate is "whether war should be declared against Fei real people."
Joan thought he would see a fierce confrontation with Maimang, but he was disappointed-no one stood up against the war.
This so-called debate will finally be a lecture.
The elite students headed by Arnold stood up and spoke one after another. With eloquent talent, they generously demonstrated the necessity of this war and the prospect of victory.
Joanne can understand Arnold's position, but he doesn't think war is the best choice.
The warm-hearted feelings of defending the home and defending the country are indeed valuable, but Arnold and others believe that the root cause of this conflict is the excessive greed of the Fijians in Yodenheim, forcibly occupying the magic crystal ore veins belonging to Midgard in law, and must be measured. They are secretly planning to expand their forces to the south in an attempt to occupy all the magic crystal ore veins-in Joan's view, this view is not entirely consistent with the facts.
Feizhen people do have ambitions for the magic crystal ore veins, but their own side is not as innocent and pure as Arnold thought.
In fact, the Midgard authorities also have ambitions for the mining areas under the control of the Jodenheim authorities.
As one of the discoverers of the veins, Qiao An is very clear that both sides of the dispute have no sufficient basis to occupy the entire vein. In fact, it is most reasonable to maintain the status quo to split the veins. Unfortunately, both sides are stunned by huge interests, and they are not willing to let each other share a cup. soup.
Under such a premise, if a war really breaks out between the two sides, there is no justice at all, and it is purely a fight for benefits.
It is like two hungry wolves fighting for a piece of flesh and bones. Who can say that they are more innocent and more just than the other?
Recognizing this reality, Joanne cannot be as blood-burning as Arnold and they cannot bring himself into the noble role of "fighting for justice."
On the contrary, he thinks more about what huge losses the war will bring to ordinary people.
In the years when swordsmen and soldiers lived up to their lives, university campuses were inevitably affected by the fighting. I am as stable as I am now, and I am afraid that it will be less than a day.
Even if it was just for the sake of safeguarding his own interests and maintaining a peaceful and quiet life, Joan did not want war to break out.
However, he did not have the courage to stand up and openly express his opposition to the war to his classmates and friends.
If he does so, he will surely fall into isolation.
Joan is not afraid of loneliness, but he hates people's strange vision, and even hates being pointed behind, as if he is an abnormal monster.
To avoid these troubles, he can only keep silent. If someone asks him if he supports launching a war, he can only resolutely say "I have the same opinion as everyone".
According to Joan's observation, the people who support the war are actually quite complicated.
Arnold's passionate youth of unknown truth is the mainstream, but the non-mainstream of Hailar and Zion, who understands the inner situation, also followed Arnold's arms and supported the war.
Hailar knew that Feizhen did not invade Midgard's magic crystal ore veins, at least not yet, and knew that the war that might break out had no justice, but she still supported the war.
Hailar does not care about the justice of the war, but she cares more about whether she can win, and how much the victorious party can get from the losing party.
As long as there is a bargain to make, and the profit is so large that it exceeds the risk, the "Mandarin Fan" firmly supports the war.
This is very cold and very real.
Since the Magic Industrial Revolution, capital upstarts with rapidly expanding wealth and social status have generally harbored a greedy mentality like Hailar.
Audrey and Holden belong to another group, and their interests have nothing to do with the Midgard colony.
From the standpoint of the motherland, these two members of the royal family of Canaan were eager to fight the two major colonies in the north and south of the new continent as soon as possible. The more intense the fight, the better.
It’s better to involve the mother country behind the colony, and use this war to consume the power of the Ashan Empire and the Fijian Kingdom. It is best to lose both sides. The existing social order in the New World is completely collapsed, and the Kingdom of Canaan can take advantage of the muddy water to fish and expand. The influence of the New World.
As far as the political genealogy is concerned, Joan is neither Arnold's noble youth who aspire to imitate his ancestors and win Wu Xun and glory on the battlefield, nor does he belong to Hailar's capital upstart group, nor does he belong to Zion's "foreign friend" Faction, in this circle, he is only a single list, unable to find a sense of belonging.
Political isolation has deepened Joan’s dislike of social activities, and simply shuts himself in a laboratory or library every day to seek solace in the ocean of knowledge. Fortunately, academic issues are only right or wrong, and there is no "hawk". "Dove".
In order to dismiss the anxiety caused by the imminent war, Joanne has a problem for himself, intending to analyze the original analytical skills-including "Blood Interpretation", "Mythical Blood Interpretation", "Appraisal Technique" and No. 4 Rune Talisman Text Ansuz-for in-depth integration, the ultimate goal is to create a more advanced analytical method.
