Chapter 1699: 12. The other shore of good and evil (16)

Coexist with the empire and the new order.
This is a possibility and a necessity for a period of time to come.
The nations think so, as do the top leaders of the Republic and the "Liberty Army".
In the face of an empire that is so powerful that it is difficult to defeat, and at the same time too big to fail, prepare for war on a long-term strategy, coexist with it on a short-term strategic and tactical level, rely on the new order system to stabilize the country, and strengthen its own strength as much as possible-this is The strategies recognized and being implemented by all countries outside the empire are limited to adjustments in details according to their own conditions.
Specifically to Roland and the Republic, a one-line summary is "War is inevitable, but if possible, you should strive for at least one generation of peace."
There has never been permanent peace in history. I really want it. I am afraid it is time for Li Lin to achieve eight punishments and dominate the world. This is precisely what Roland is most reluctant to see. The world may be dying a whole generation of young people in the world war. Therefore, although Roland hopes that there will be a permanent peace, in practical terms, it will not be an absolute goal. In his view, as a person still alive, if there is a legacy that must be left to the next generation, peace is the best gift. As for maintaining the peace entrusted by the previous generation, that is the mission and responsibility of the next generation. If each generation can keep in mind its mission and responsibility to the next generation, even if it is not forever, long-term peace can be achieved. On the contrary, if you forget the lessons of the past and lie on the ancestor’s legacy to sit and eat, then everything will have to start all over again. Perhaps that is a sad thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Discussing the peace of future generations may be a little too far away. The most important thing now is how to keep the peace for a few decades to come, and extend the time when conflicts and disputes break out as far as possible. Perhaps this is a false one. The phenomenon is a doomed effort, at least much better than even a tenth of a time span. In the past disputes, I have seen eleven or twelve-year-old children wearing unfit military uniforms more than once , Carrying a rifle of almost the same height and walking onto the battlefield, never came back. I believe that in addition to the war mad and ulterior motives, the guy who lives on the carrion will be happy to see the children who are sent to the battlefield, there should be no talent Correct."
Roland's views have always been correct and profound. If they are ordinary people, they can only nod in the face of this eloquence. After all, no one wants to connect himself with labels such as "war madness" and "suckers eating buns".
But the Duke of Marlborough is not an ordinary person.
He is not a "different person" such as a madman, a weird person, a genius, a ghost, but as a hereditary aristocracy and has emerged as a leader in battle, becoming one of the key decision-makers in the country of the Albion, and has both politicians and strategists In terms of professional vision, he understands the values ​​and moral values ​​of ordinary people, and at the same time looks at issues with very different moral and value benchmarks.
"Young people, they can't bear to pick a flower or a grass, and they can't open a safe avenue in a crisis-ridden jungle."
The white-faced Duke raised his chin slightly, a serious look as if he were teaching a political science professor to students about the basic principles of Machiavellianism.
"It is true that the pursuit of peace is the pursuit and desire of everyone who is upright. But the foundation of peace is the same thing that supports the heroic cause of the hero and the throne of the emperor and king, that is, blood, bones, strength and compromise. The so-called peace The so-called order is a enshrined with millions of tons of blood and corpses. Because of such a cruel weight, people are afraid of the more tragic results of overthrowing the gods. People are willing to calmly think about ways to avoid disrupting order and peace. ."
however.
"Your behavior may be a good starting point, based on your own goodwill and a sense of responsibility to the world and others, but I have to say that the result of your actions is likely to be a stone thrown onto the freshly frozen water."
Looking back at the reasons for the outbreaks of various wars in history, it is not difficult to find that most wars start from the moment when the balance is broken, and then after a series of chain reaction blessings and fermentation, they eventually evolved into wars.
Now Roland's behavior is, in a way, dropping stones on the thin ice called "Peace."
"It can't be taken away at once. The war is such a thing, there is no way to control it. Once you cast a stone called'Arayai Shi' to break the thin ice, the subsequent developments will not be controlled by you, us, the emperor, Finally, the of total war will come. How many people can survive after the iron wind, thunder and fire swept the whole world? For those people, you can say'Sorry, if we can be more careful at that time, things might It won’t be like this, your friends and relatives will not die, and this disaster will not come.’
The expected words pierced the body~EbookFREE.me~ Minerva felt a moment of shrinking.
Taking the "Alaya consciousness" system as a breakthrough, the new technical system is indeed possible to send a ray of fresh air into the increasingly closed world, but it will also become a pathogen. More and more technologies that bypass the patents of the empire have been developed. The empire has lost not only technological advantages, but also economic and military advantages and dominance. The pillars that support the empire and even the whole new order will gradually crack and eventually fall to the ground... Before that, in order to put an end to this unbearable ending, the empire waged war regardless of everything, and finally the world will be peaceful for a few years. Sinking again in the flames of war. No one knows how long this battle will be fought, and how strong the intensity is. The only thing that can be determined is that under the ravages of the emperor, the imperial army, and the "Legion", it would be the best to have half of the world's population survive. It turned out.
After witnessing the destructive power of the overall overall war, the miserable scene before the destruction of the old Charlemagne, and the powerful fighting power of the emperor and the imperial army, the prediction of "halving the population" has been optimistic. In the worst case, all life on the ground will be wiped out, and the history of the whole world will start from scratch.
The choice to open a "different future" is to face such a heavy risk. In the face of the weight of all life in the world, it is just mortal politicians and policy makers who choose the most appropriate option and block the "possibility". Faced with such a choice, how can they blame them? Everything is done to protect this world. Anyone who does this from the same position will do the same, and it has always been like this.
"So personally, I hope ‘possibility is just possibility. It may be okay to use it as a bargaining material, but in order to ensure peace for only one generation, it is best not to try to open the door of possibility’.
