Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

75.School:

Things in the world are uncertain and unpredictable, and spring is so sad that I can’t sleep.

When Suini and Suosuo took stock of the goods, they found that there were more than a thousand pairs more than what they originally purchased. There was also a blueprint for making weapons inside. Suosuo immediately reported to Daozhi:"Are we going to make weapons according to this blueprint?"

Daozhi said. He took the drawing and looked at it carefully for a while:"No, this design is not the best. Qian Lao's design is more practical than theirs."

"Are these more than 1,000 pairs of supplies considered to be helped by them?"Sosuo

"In fact, we paid.

Suosuo didn't understand:"Since they want to help me, why do they have to go in such a big circle?""

"This is the cunning part of the Luoba country. The Xiami country makes a living by fishing for shrimps. Due to its geographical location, they are dependent on the Luoba country. Most of the items they need must be purchased from the Luoba country. The relationship between the two countries has always been good. Xiami Country is a small country with little sense of existence and is easily ignored because it has no principled stance. If something goes wrong, you can also blame it on Xiami Country to avoid risks. After all, there is a Blue Lake ban, Xiami Country is very small, and Xilu Country cannot care too much about it."

"Xilu Kingdom and Luoba Kingdom have a close relationship. Xiami Kingdom has never participated in the Blue Lake battle. I don’t understand why they support us?"Sosuo

"Hegemony cannot convince the public. Xilu Kingdom has always bullied other countries, and everyone has grievances. The same is true for Luoba Kingdom and Xiami Kingdom. Hundreds of years ago, the Luoba Kingdom mastered advanced hunting weapon manufacturing technology, which meant that it could produce more powerful weapons, which led to a series of expansions. The war they launched 60 years ago was finally quelled by the rising Xilu Kingdom. After the quelling, Xilu Kingdom stood on the moral high ground and punished the Luoba Kingdom on the pretext of destroying the stability of the Blue Lake. It took the opportunity to destroy the Luoba Kingdom. The best hunting weapon masters were taken away. From then on, the manufacturing of weapons and armor was controlled by the Xilu Kingdom, and the manufacturing of weapons and armor from other countries was also restricted. The armor of the defense forces of various countries was completely controlled by the Xilu Kingdom, and even some hunting weapons had to come from Purchased by Xulu Kingdom. A few years ago, the Xilu Kingdom discovered that some of the hunting weapon manufacturing levels of the Luoba Kingdom were comparable to theirs, so they sent people to forcibly take away those hunting weapon masters in accordance with the Blue Lake Treaty. The Luoba Kingdom was very angry but had no choice but to Forbearing again and again, every country is enduring it. They dare to be angry but dare not speak out. They actually hope that some force will come out to weaken the Xilu Kingdom."

"Then they can help us more, they have the strength."Sosuo

"There is no justice or emotion between countries, only interests. For the Luoba State, no matter what the outcome of the war between the two countries, the relative strength of the Luoba State is increasing, they will have the opportunity to get rid of the Xilu State, and even attack the Xilu State again, invade the Dongfu State again, or like 60 Just like the Xilu Kingdom in 2007, if they want to play the game of mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind after the war is started, they have to conserve their strength to the maximum extent."Daozhi

"So aren’t we fighting for the country of Loba?"Suosuo felt very unhappy.

"There is no reason to fight for another country."Daozhi

At this time, Su Su noticed the intensive training of Dongfu Army and knew that war was really coming. She didn't like war and was worried about this land. This land was too tired and could no longer withstand the turmoil. Susu couldn't sleep at night. The tragedy after the war kept appearing in her mind. It had been like this for several days. Do we really have to fight? Can we win a war with the Xilu Kingdom? Even if you win, what price will you have to pay? Is it worth it? Is it really necessary?

At dawn, when people see the beauty of the morning light, how many of them think of the approaching darkness on the other side. Su Su came alone to the highland where Dao Zhi often came. Dao Zhi liked to look at the earth from a high place, the grain fields on the ground, and the hard work in the grain fields. He liked the sunshine and the warmth in the sunshine. Su Su stared at the earth like Tao Zhi. The sun was rising and its light was shining on the earth, trying to understand something from it. Although it is summer, the morning wind is still cold, the flowers add color to the earth, and the birds make the sky lively. I am really afraid that all this will turn into silence. Su Su didn't understand why Daozhi always liked to be placed in the cold wind at a high place.

Su Su had no answer. She thought of her father. It was already half noon when she arrived at the hut. When she entered the school, there were many people today. In addition to students, many people and people with lofty ideals from nearby came. When she saw her father giving a lecture, she Quietly sat aside.

Mr. Yan:"In the past, what I taught as a teacher was all about the way of life and the laws of heaven and earth. I never talked much about the order of the Blue Lake. Now that the two countries are going to war, let me ask you first, should we fight or not?"

"The teacher said that our national strength is far inferior to that of Xilu, so we should not fight"

"The teacher also said that war is not a child's play and you must be cautious. If you cannot win, it will not be easy to fight."

"The teacher also said that the court should focus on improving the lives of the people of Dongfu and try to avoid external disputes"

"The teacher also said that the development of Dongfu is hard-won and war will make the country regress."

"The teacher often said that Blue Lake needs peace, and life in peaceful countries will be better."

"The teacher has always said that our country, Dongfu, will always follow the path of peaceful development."

……

After hearing the students' answers, Mr. Yan kept nodding:"Yes, yes, these are all what the teacher said. Everyone can think of the consequences of the war. Has anyone thought about where Dongfu Country will go in the future? ?"

The students discussed for a while, but no one answered. Mr. Yan paced slowly and did not give a direct answer:"The state-owned legal family has family rules, and the family has parents to maintain the family rules to ensure that the elders and children in the family are orderly and do their best. Responsibility. The state has a king, and the emperor is as guilty as the common people when they break the law. The state's laws are maintained by the court to ensure the harmonious life of the people. However, there is no law and order between countries. There is no fair and effective law to maintain fairness and justice on the Blue Lake. The so-called Blue Lake The Treaty of Lake is just a means for the strong to divide their interests. In order to avoid aggression between countries, the Xilu Kingdom has no right to wage war. In other words, the Xilu Kingdom can attack others, but others cannot go out. In fact, there are many ways to invade. , not only war, but also manipulation, subversion, destruction, and even unfair trade, etc. The so-called"you won't offend me and I won't offend you" is just a wishful wish. Even if we can do not infringe on others, we cannot guarantee that others will not infringe on us. If we don’t want others to dare to invade us, we must be strong enough and have the ability to make the offender pay the price."

"Teacher, is it military power?"

"For an orderly country, it is important to have a set of fair principles, but for a disorderly environment, the ability to fight is very important, not only military power but also financial resources. Everyone believes that war will destabilize the country, stagnate development, bring disaster to the people, and put the country in danger. It is true, but these are all based on the existence of the country. If the country does not exist, where will these be? I would like to ask everyone, is a peaceful country necessarily safe? Is war necessarily dangerous? In today's Blue Lake, our Dongfu army has almost never been deployed in the past few decades. I would like to ask everyone, is our Dongfu country safe or unsafe?"Lao Yan asked again.

"not safe"

"Safety"

"not safe"

"Safety"

"not safe"

……

Students have different opinions

"Security is a relative concept, so is Dongfu Country safe compared to Luoba Country?" Mr. Yan

"The small neighboring countries have never stopped intruding on our country, leaving the people in the frontier in peace and the Luoba country safe."student

"Luoba country security"

"There is a brutal Rakshasa Kingdom next to the Luoba Kingdom, which is a potential threat and not safe."

"The Rakshasa Kingdom has not disturbed the Loba Kingdom, so it is safe"

"Of course it’s the security of Roba"

"not safe"

"Safety"

……

The students were arguing, but they couldn't explain why.

"So what about the Xilu Kingdom?" Mr. Yan then asked

"No one dares to cause trouble, no one dares to threaten, of course Xilulu is safe"

"Xilu's army is number one in the world, and Xilu's country is certainly safe."

"Xilu is the safest country in Blue Lake"

"Xilu country is safe."

Students unanimously believe that Xilu is safe.

"However, Xilu Kingdom is at war all year round, so war does not necessarily mean danger." Mr. Yan

"If there is going to be a war, when will it happen? asked the student

"The teacher watched the stars every night, and the starlight changed. The East Fortune Star gradually shone. Now the light has touched the brightest star, and the war is not too far away." Mr. Yan

"War will consume national power, and won’t our national power decline again after the war?"The student asked again

"What you said makes sense. Ever since I studied astrology with my master, I have been observing the Xilu Star. For more than a hundred years, the Xilu Kingdom has either been at war or on the road to war. But the strange thing is that every time there is a war, the Xilu Star Instead, it became more and more brilliant, becoming the brightest star in the night sky today, because the wealth and strength of the Xilu Kingdom will increase after every war, and wars do not necessarily consume national power." Mr. Yan

"why is that?"

"You can start a war, but you need more control. You can't resort to violence or fight just for the sake of war, otherwise the people will suffer. Your Majesty knows this very well. In the past few decades, when other countries have invaded the border, Your Majesty has never sent troops. The big reason is that once the war starts , His Majesty cannot control it. I believe this war will be different."Mr. Yan.

The students were quiet.
