Chapter 471 Offensive and Defensive Alliance

The propaganda of the Industrial Alliance about the restart of the rift and the all-out war spread throughout the entire Middle-earth world at an astonishing speed, because no language or text is more shocking than a piece of metal continent crushed over the heads of human beings, regardless of wilderness, Swamp or forest, no human being can escape the infinite horror brought by this metal sky.

In the apocalyptic atmosphere where the hearts of the people are like landslides and everyone is in constant panic, the explanation of this phenomenon from the industrial alliance quickly became the biggest source of information for people.Not only because of its clear context and reasonable logic, but also because it used all available means of publicity, such as radio, newspapers, leaflets, notices, etc., in the shortest possible time before the rumors about the end of the world and the advent of the devil world rose. Relevant information is disseminated to the maximum extent that the industry alliance can influence.

When the shadow caused by that floating continent shrouded people's minds strongly, the huge aircraft that came from afar like a fish flew over many human settlements with another kind of fearful attitude, and printed countless printed words. And the paper of the picture is scattered like snowflakes.Even though many people can't recognize the words or read the pictures, they just instinctively know that there must be important information about the vision, and try their best to find a way to interpret it.

And those who are able to decipher the information that is tried to be concise and easy to understand will, whether actively or passively, enlighten their people about the history of the Rift War and the existence of the Industrial Alliance.The existence of the Industrial Federation is finally starting to become known, because the more you go back in history, the more fears of a Second Rift War are raised, and the more people realize that even if it is a wicked empire built by heretics through and through, When the demons come, maybe only they have the power to fight——

Only monsters can fight monsters.

Driven by this cognition, the number of countries eager to establish relations with the industrial alliance has soared to a frightening level in a short period of time, which is a situation that has long been foreseen.While the diplomatic career of the Industrial Alliance is developing rapidly, its control over the surrounding areas has also been further enhanced. This is reflected in the expansion of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the high attention of the Western Continent countries to the social transformation of the Mist Country. of.

When that alien city spread panic all over the world, the post-war affairs of the former Mist Country were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The first is to deal with the aftermath of the lower city.After the war, with the help of the half-disclosed intelligence team that had been revealed when the city of the sky was revealed, the alliance army recruited a large number of people from the surrounding areas, regardless of gender, age or age, to clean up the ruins of the city with them.With the efforts of thousands of people day and night, the lower city was quickly cleared. They collected the remains of all those who died in this battle and sent them to the cemetery for burial. A simple but solemn ceremony was held.

The army that regrouped from the eastern part of the Mist Country voluntarily surrendered during this period, and the coalition forces of the alliance and the rebels came to the lower city to meet later. After some adjustments, the new coalition forces set off again. Continuing to the east, like cleaning a house, completely sweep away the old ruling forces of the Misty Kingdom.After conquering the country with incredible speed and efficiency, the Alliance also lifted the fog spell that had covered the border for more than ten years.

The giant floating city was decoupled and sailed away, and the poisonous mist and miasma completely dissipated. Although the leader of the evils could not be dragged down from the sky for trial, but I heard from the reliable allies that they had reaped their own consequences, so the wind and light of freedom returned to the world. This vast land.

When people cheered for finally breaking the cage, the countries of Western Continents who had wanted a piece of the pie before the war also voluntarily gave up all claims to the country of fog, and admitted that the industrial alliance has all powers over this country—— anyway, they It doesn't make much sense not to admit it.

After all, in the eyes of these nobles who have converted from battlefield observers to social observers, there are not many interests in this country worth fighting for. Let alone Prince Rand, the source of all evil, has been exhausted for fishing, which has caused great damage to his land and resources. As long as the mage was hanged with his own hands under the support and instigation of the allies, and the beheading of the nobles inspired the fierce and rebellious citizens, it made any country that was slightly moved to avoid it.

Clearly, none of this is a problem for the industry federation.

The armed forces and organizational level displayed by the Industrial Alliance in this war are obvious to all. Needless to say, those rebels from the Mist Kingdom who used their power to unleash their ferocity are also convinced by them, and people take it for granted that it will send agents After all, this is the most common way and the fastest way to stabilize the local situation.

However, the Industrial Alliance did not do that. Although their actions did show that they would never give up their power to control the country, the way they chose to occupy the country was to first organize a representative assembly of Lao Shizi. Thousands of people voted what form of state and government they would adopt henceforth, and only then was the power given to an organization called the "Government" to directly administer this vast area and all its inhabitants.

This congress and its voting process were considered by another group of observers from various countries to be just a meaningless display of pomp and circumstance by industrial alliances. Governance by this method is extremely inefficient, because power cannot be concentrated among the most talented people Even if there are officials from the alliance to provide experience and guidance, those uneducated people who are suddenly given power will definitely not listen to them, will definitely get carried away, and will definitely make a mess of anything complicated.

However, it is a pity that the development of the Nagar United Autonomous Region, which was renamed from the Mist Country in less than a month, was not as expected by these observers. It did take some time to organize the congress and establish a new government, but the new ruling organization was established. Afterwards, everything was done in an orderly manner with astonishing efficiency. Although it is necessary to emphasize the direct help and influence of the work team of the Industrial Alliance on them, the trust and cooperation of the local people is the key to such a vast transformation of such a vast land. The root of everything.

For the enslaved people of the former Mist Country, the allies who have descended from the sky are indeed saviors. Without their help, it is absolutely impossible for the rebels to achieve such a complete victory as expected and easily with their own strength. —and even set off their past failures to make people sad.Similarly, when they almost collapsed due to the true appearance of the floating city, it was the brave and firm alliance people who gave them the courage to face the future, so even though many of their actions could not be immediately understood, the people of the new autonomous region cooperated greatly The work of the task force.

In fact, the alliance's transformation of this area did not start after the victory of the war, but was already underway before the war began.For the rebel forces who have been brutally suppressed for a long time, they even have a vague concept of war. Although they have high morale, they do not have a decent organization. Both strategy, tactics and logistics are in a mess. The huge disparity in aspects makes them choose to follow it completely from psychology to behavior.

But what surprised the rebels was that the Alliance did not use them as pawns who rushed forward without thinking. On the contrary, from the very beginning, the Alliance had no reservations about them, not only teaching them all kinds of relevant knowledge, And try to improve their abilities with each battle.Since most of the populations of Qingjin and Blackstone countries were concentrated in a few production belts, most of the regional rulers lived in castles or civil camps, which was beneficial to the alliance people who were best at attacking fortifications. Most of the battles are in this form: the alliance first destroys these fortresses with firearms, guards the battlefield, and is ready to kill the fish that slip through the net or hide the ambush at any time (although this situation is extremely rare), creating a situation where we are superior to the enemy, and then Let the rebels go up and fight according to the previously agreed tactics, and by this time most of the opponents have been gutted and have no fighting spirit.

This kind of guidance battle almost feeds the victory into the rebels' mouths, but it has to be said, especially for the rebels who have failed too many times in the past years, this kind of victory is so sweet and intoxicating .And because they have to hold a meeting after each battle, and strive to make no mistakes or make fewer mistakes in the next battle, it is not that they have made no progress, and it can even be said that they have made great progress.

Under the feeding of the nanny war, the rebel army steadily expanded its scale while winning. When the coalition forces marched down the city, the alliance logistics personnel cooperated with the rebel support personnel to restore production and life in the recovered areas. The experience in the field is unmatched by anyone.They stabilize labor, appease civilians, register population, liquidate assets, provide relief to the old, the weak, women and children, eliminate the old ruling class physically and mentally through public trials, and establish the grassroots organizational form of the new regime through elections.

The new form of grassroots organization determines the future regime of the region. It can be said that the alliance does not actually give the rebel leaders more choices, but few people are dissatisfied with this.Before the great victory in the lower city, the rebels had already been conquered physically and mentally by the allies of this war from top to bottom. The opponent was so powerful, so generous, and at the same time so humble and wise, strict and powerful, yet gentle and tolerant. Give them protection and assistance.

Even if it is a dream, it will not be better than this. What reason do they have to resist?

Even if they absolutely do not agree with the new political system promoted by the Alliance members, those noble observers who have witnessed the transformation process of the Mist Country have to admit that the Alliance's method of buying people's hearts and completely conquering a region with soft means is significantly effective.This area that has been attached to the Industrial Alliance is advancing at a speed that changes almost every day. The inner city of the lower city has been demolished, and the population has returned. Brand new houses and streets quickly covered the original ruins. The metal arrows and spears have fused into a steel monument, standing tall in the center of the city, and the open face of the new capital is slowly emerging; most of the mines have been temporarily closed; self-government institutions have been successfully established in various places, and in the stable Enter a new stage of production and life, and have a strong centripetal force for the central government and industrial alliances...

Even such high efficiency and high speed are partly due to the foundation laid by Prince Rand. His minions, the noble mages of the ground council, destroyed the production methods and production relations of the two kingdoms of lapis lazuli and blackstone in a cruel but effective way. Driving more than 60.00% of the population of these two countries into mines, farms, and handicraft factories, becoming virtual slaves deprived of all rights, made the system transplantation of the industrial alliance successful.However, after witnessing all this happening, who can not sincerely admire the financial and material resources and the capabilities of the so-called liberators displayed by the Industrial Alliance during this process?

But they must also say that the Alliance has given too much and done too much.It is enough to give those slaves freedom, but they also need to distribute food and property; not only give them food and property, but also give them equity in farms and handicraft workshops; not only let them independently distribute the output of these production units, but also let them They form organizations, elect representatives, and dictate regional affairs with a master's attitude!This kind of shocking thing that violates common sense, tramples on good customs, has been done by the Alliance people, and they not only did it, but also consolidated and developed it.As for the slaves who were sent food to their eyes by the Alliance, needless to say, they would never spit out what had already reached their mouths.

The great crisis of the second rift war is in sight, how can they do this evil way? !

However, although the alliance people are good at what they do, they never listen to their opinions in this regard.Because the industrial alliance has fully demonstrated their strength, and being strong means being right, there is almost no resistance when they transfer the various systems prevailing in the alliance area, and when they implement these measures that are inhumane in the eyes of observers , not only the full cooperation of the people, but also the advocacy of religious people. Those wild priests said when they saw people: "We have been blinded by false religion in the past! The alliance is the projection of the kingdom of heaven on earth, so it is so perfect, The liberators come out of it, they are the angels of the Lord, so while they are doing his justice, they are saving his lambs, and they also have to fight against the demon gods from the abyss of depravity - everything is as shown in the scriptures! What we are waiting for The blessings have come before you!"

Even though the non-believers in the alliance very politely rejected this statement, they did not interfere with the freedom of belief of others. Therefore, this theory not only spread rapidly in the new autonomous region, but also appeared due to the increase in economic and trade exchanges with the countries of Western Continent. There is a clear tendency to spread outward.

"It's completely understandable. They now desperately need an idol that can make them resist fear, and this explanation creates such a new idol for them." Hermann said, "No matter how unrealistic, as long as the industrial alliance is strong, it will A little is really enough."

Long Tianao asked amidst the noise of the tavern: "It seems that a similar situation has happened before?"

Heman said while drinking: "It almost started during the construction of the new Marsh City, and this situation has always existed until now."

Long Tianao said: "This distortion is beneficial to you."

"There are advantages and disadvantages." Herman said, "Old ideas are the glue of the old society. People cannot be required to accept the new ideas and new culture brought by the new system immediately. We all need a transition process. For people in the old world In general, this theory of trying to piece together two worldviews can help them understand and accept the reality of the transformation, but the Alliance does not need to delude itself, so we must control their influence so as not to overwhelm the main topic. In particular, the Liberator has no freedom of belief , they cannot be polluted by this stitch monster, they must be the purest and most determined group—”

Even when he returned to the alliance, Long Tianao still remembered the expression on his face when he said this sentence.He knew that Herman was not the Liberator, and although he already had the qualifications to apply, it seemed that he had always refused to enter the organization due to personal reasons.The inclusiveness of the Industrial Alliance is one of its notable features. Herman's background did not affect his professional development at all, and even became an opportunity for him to enter the profession.The refusal to join does not mean that Heman is dissatisfied. In fact, it may be out of a certain convert mentality. Heman, who was once a nobleman's child, not only has no sympathy for the decline of the class caused by the development of the alliance, but is happy to see it. become.

The more we got in touch, Long Tianao felt that the people from the Industrial Alliance were interesting.Especially "The Liberator" is more interesting.

Herman is not a "liberator", not because he is not qualified, as long as he is willing to show complete obedience to the unified values ​​​​of the alliance, obtaining this status is a breeze.But he resolutely rejects a step forward that might bring him more benefits just because he still can't reconcile with the past.And the Industrial Alliance didn't treat him differently because of this, at least in Long Tianao's view, Herman didn't miss any major opportunities.

The singularity of the "Liberator" organization of the Industrial Federation is reflected in Herman himself and his fellow Liberators.Not only in the "Old World" in their mouths, but even in the Xia Kingdom established with the help of the Alliance, many people interpret the various abnormalities shown in the "Industrial Alliance" as political and religious Under this understanding, it is only natural to regard the "Liberators" as an organization of believers.

Although everyone who has been in contact with the Liberators will not equate them with ordinary believers.Not only because the goal of their beliefs and the "doctrine" they follow are very different from the same gods, but another impressive difference is that the spiritual world of the liberators is not closed, but open, and they can naturally Accept other people's opinions and suggestions sincerely, and improve your working methods graciously.

So the real miracle is that they can be so open and yet as pure as Herman et al.It is precisely because of the existence of this organization that no matter how the outside world organizes criticisms or distorts the purpose of the previous wars of the industrial alliance, every war of the alliance is just, as the magician said, just, non-predatory, and liberating.And in the exchanges between countries and people outside of war, they also achieved mutual benefit and treated each other as equals.

The industrial alliance is the only choice, and it is also the best choice. This deep feeling belongs not only to the survivors, but also to the rulers of the countries who gathered here.

The huge shadow caused by that huge fantasy city forced all countries in the Middle Continent world to take action, and the connection between countries and regions has reached an unprecedented closeness.No sane ruler thought they could survive the Second Rift War alone, and they were desperately looking for allies and every powerful force they could rely on.Therefore, in the east of Central Continent, it is mainly towards the Central Empire and the newly emerging United Kingdom, and in the west, it is mainly towards the industrial alliance. Countless kingdoms and regions are eager to establish a reliable offensive and defensive alliance around them. .

This is a realistic and legitimate appeal, and it has received an equally positive response.Under the application of new means of transportation, the representatives of various countries either take a boat or boldly take an airship. The huge floating city has just finished its journey in Central Continent. After crossing the Far East Strait, there are more than 1000 princes and priests from various countries. Representatives of the capital or region gathered in the industrial city.Although this number may not be one-third of the total number of regimes in Central Continent, it is shocking enough that even the Alliance people themselves are surprised by the influence and appeal of the Alliance.However, this situation is reasonable when you think about it.

Regardless of other things, there is no other place in the west of Central Continent that can provide a suitable place, such as Industrial City, to accommodate such a large number of princes and religious leaders from various countries to discuss important matters without embarrassment.In addition to comfortable living conditions, everything they need is also provided: no matter the venue, transportation, communication, or historical books, regional maps, and contract codes, not only paper money, writing and ink, but also corresponding translators and clerks at each venue, And there are all kinds of wonderful things like tape recorders and cameras, which are always ready to be activated according to their needs, and so on.

The Industrial Alliance has done the work of hospitality so considerately so that the representatives of these countries can focus on nothing else. The rift is about to restart, and all countries are at a loss. Although the offensive and defensive alliance has undoubtedly been determined to be dominated by the Industrial Alliance, neighboring countries should also help each other .Few people can't feel this intention, but the more considerate and attentive the industrial alliance is, the more uneasy some representatives feel.

The Federation of Industry knows too much, too much about them.

The materials of the Industrial Alliance are also on the bookshelves of each conference venue. Anyone can take it down and read it or have someone help them interpret it. Knowing the current territory, population and production level of the Alliance, this sincerity is undoubtedly sufficient.Yet it may be too much, and it has had an extraordinary effect on some people.

Then these reactions that vary from person to country are shown through those meetings where interests clash, and even Long Tianao who is writing the report has heard about it.
