Douluo: Man is in peerless world, resurrecting angel

Chapter 108 Analysis of the Future Expansion of the Sun Moon Empire

Xue Bei and Mr. Mu sat on the terrace, and someone brought tea to the table.

After Xue Bei heard Elder Mu's request, he didn't explain his opinion first, but instead asked, "What do Elder Mu think are the most important forces on the Douluo Continent?"

"Which ones? Four empires." Mr. Mu asked in confusion before answering.

"Isn't Shrek Academy counted?" Xue Bei asked, "Shrek Academy was the leader of the Douluo Alliance in the continental war thousands of years ago."

From a political point of view, Shrek Academy does not belong to any empire.

Although Shrek City was built on the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire did not have the sovereignty and governance of Shrek City at all.

Shrek Academy can be said to be an independent sovereign existence.

Shrek Academy has permanent population, fixed territory, effective government, and the ability to communicate with other countries.

"In that case, the Noumenon Sect and other hidden sects can be regarded as a powerful force." Elder Mu considered other sects of the same weight as the Shrek Seven Devils.

"The soul master family with the title Douluo and the hidden sect are both a force.

But I think they can only be counted as a part of the empire, not an independent force.

For example, the ontology sect, don't they also actively seek the official endorsement of the Heavenly Soul Empire?
The elements of a sovereign state: permanent population, fixed territory, effective government, ability to interact with other states, do they have it? "

Xue Bei explained it this way, and analyzed it from another perspective of citizenship identity:
"What's more, most of the disciples of the sect, besides 'I am from the Noumenon Sect' and 'I am from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect', probably have a consensus."

Mr. Mu looked at Xue Bei strangely, "What other consensus do they have? Whether it's a member of the Noumenon Sect or a member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, is there any consensus?"

"Yes, we are all from the Heavenly Soul Empire." Xue Bei said casually: "This is national identity and ethnic identity. No matter which sect they are, they will feel that they are from the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Mr. Mu frowned slightly, then laughed happily: "If you don't tell me, I really haven't thought about it. In my mind, I always feel that I am a part of Shrek."

"What about your motherland?" Xue Bei asked curiously.

Among the black and white twin holy dragons, Xue Bei only knew that Long Xiaoyao was from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"I'm a member of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex. I've lived in Shrek City since I was a child. I've been enrolled in Shrek Academy since I was eight years old. My home has always been in Shrek City." Elder Mu also recalled.

"It's 200 now."

Xue Bei calculated Elder Mu's age,

Asked rhetorically:
"Old Mu, do you think that in these 200 years, children born in Shrek City will think they are from the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Star Luo Empire?"

"No, they will only think that they are Shrek people." Mr. Mu also thought of the answer and couldn't help but laugh.

Xue Bei also followed Elder Mu and smiled, "Look, that's why I said that Shrek Academy should be counted as an independent mainland power, on the same level as the four great empires."

"Then, what do you mean, the affairs of Douluo Dalu are mainly controlled by these five major forces?"

Mr. Mu followed Xue Bei's train of thought and said.

"Mostly yes, at least the main storyline happening on Douluo Continent is driven by the high-level games of these five major forces."

Xue Bei couldn't help thinking of something, and laughed at himself: "How can the little people have the ability to promote the development of the main line of the mainland?" Just like the discharge of nuclear sewage by an island country, what's the use of the little people waving flags and shouting, it is not us who are really capable of stopping Kind of mob.

"And from the perspective of development, the Sun Moon Empire's aggression. To be precise, the outbreak of the next continental war will happen in our generation."

After hearing Xue Bei's conclusion, Elder Mu politely asked Xue Bei to finish.

"The Sun and Moon Empire is an empire with undying ambitions. This is the understanding of most people in Douluo Continent. But why did the Sun and Moon Empire launch an aggressive war?" Xue Bei asked.

"Does aggression need a reason?" Mr. Mu sneered.

Regarding the Sun Moon Empire, even if Mr. Mu did not have a sense of identity with the citizens of the empire, he would know that the Sun Moon Empire was the enemy.

Xue Bei said: "There is no reason for aggression. Maybe it's just a coloring game launched by the ruler to make the map look good."

Elder Mu was almost amused by Xue Bei's statement. What kind of war criminals speak, coloring games?
Xue Bei also said: "But to launch a war of aggression, we need soldiers, food, medicine... and other strategic materials that need to be paid for by the people of the country."

Old Mu's smile gradually disappeared.

"Nobody likes fighting.

The glory of war is spoken to the nobility,

War money was also distributed by merchants,

What the poor lose is their wealth, their stable living environment, and their children who went to war.

Feelings of family and country and hatred of national subjugation and genocide can inspire temporary mobilization.

But what people are most concerned about is not the grand narrative, and what ultimately matters to them is the daily necessities.

Let alone a war of aggression. "

Xue Bei said very deeply, this is his perception.

He was also obsessed with the grand narrative for a while, including those actions in Wu Haoling, which seemed to complete this grand narrative, but the completion of the grand narrative was to improve Xue Bei's own life now.

After all, even if Xue Bei got on the golden carriage in Douluo Dalu, the experience would definitely not be as pleasant as the air-conditioned subway that crosses half the city for an hour.

In addition, Xue Bei also knows that for most people, what they pay more attention to is the surrounding living environment, whether prices are high, whether medical treatment is expensive, and whether their children will have a promising future.
"and so,
The Sun-Moon Empire's war of aggression must be based on the conditions that the entire population of the Sun-Moon Empire...at least most of the citizens can benefit, and the Sun-Moon Empire's high-end combat power can have an advantage over the Douluo Continent. "

Xue Bei made this conclusion, entered the state again and asked:

"What can the entire people of the Sun Moon Empire gain in the war of aggression?
Lower ranks can be consumed by entering the army, or turned into junior officers,
After men went to the battlefield, women had to shoulder domestic production activities during the war and earn income.

Soul engineers can obtain the rich mineral resources and rare metals on the original Douluo Continent,
Aristocratic groups, especially war nobles, can split the soil and enshrine in the Douluo Continent. They shoulder the task of maintaining the rule of the Sun Moon Empire and suppressing resistance forces, and they can expand their fiefdoms without fear.

At the same time, the merchants of the Sun and Moon Empire can grab a lot of benefits through the superior privileges of the invaders, and countless original business routes will be opened to the merchants of the Sun and Moon Empire. "

"Really?" Elder Mu didn't believe it. In the eyes of the older generation...including most Douluo people, wars are extremely costly. How can Xue Bei say so well?
"As long as the war allows the Sun-Moon Empire to swallow a country... half of the country, the Sun-Moon Empire will be able to taste the wonderful taste of the fruits of victory."

Xue Bei said: "At that time, the Sun Moon Empire will use even greater investment to complete the progress of the war until it achieves its war goal - annexing the original Douluo Continent."
