How am I still alive?

Chapter 1763: The Kingdom of Islands

Chapter 1763: The Kingdom of Islands

"The world has changed. I'm afraid that after this plane war is over, the map of the entire world will be completely different from the past."

Faced with the torment of plane wars, some countries were destroyed, while others survived.

The nominal Earth Government is still being formed, but it is still a long way from being able to really take effect. Lu Ping'an has always felt that even if it is established, it will probably be just the United Nations in another world line within a few decades, or even worse, it will directly become a puppet manipulated by a few major powers.

Lu Ping'an has no doubt that the earth will be unified. As long as it develops to a certain level and faces external threats that everyone needs to deal with together, it is only a matter of time before everyone unites together.

But he was also certain that he might not see that day in his lifetime. After all, the country and the nation were always the mainstream, and only God knew when they would completely disappear.

"The people of Sakurajima seem to be very clear-headed. Are they prepared for disasters? They probably already had a similar plan."

This is what the client said to Lu Ping'an, but Lu Ping'an just responded with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. I see that your battle results are pretty good. Maybe you can get the land back in a few months."

"Please stop joking. Let's not talk about whether it can be taken back. This is the largest gathering place for foreign visitors in the East China Sea. Even if it is taken back, what does it have to do with the Sakura Kingdom?"

"Oh, that's what you said. I don't understand politics." Lu Ping'an laughed. If the other party was really obsessed with restoring the country, then he would not have accepted this commission from the beginning.

The fact is, after the policy of "military merit in exchange for conquered land" was introduced, it seemed to be conducive to the restoration of Sakurajima, and even created a frenzy of restoration movement among some of the remaining ethnic groups. However, the reality was that some countries were destined not to be restored.

It seemed to hand over the ownership of "foreign land" to the private sector, allowing the refugees to find ways to take it back themselves. It seemed that as long as they worked hard and risked their lives, they could take back all the land. At that time, many people really believed it and acted even more desperately.

But after executing it for so long, you will find that this is completely an underwater moon. It looks like a dream in front of you, but in fact it will shatter at the slightest touch.

The reality is exactly the opposite of expectations. This is actually the policy that makes "restoration of the country" impossible to achieve.

"Since the policy has been issued to distribute the land to meritorious people, it is impossible for the East Country officials to change their orders overnight and forcibly take the land from those meritorious people and give it to all the restorationists. In fact, it didn't take long for some of us to figure it out, but it was meaningless in the frenzy of the whole nation."

This actually blocked the possibility of the East Country coming forward to help them restore their country at the official level. Although it seemed that there was no obstruction, it actually fundamentally cut off this possibility. "I have already distributed it. It is something I gave to others. How can I take it back?"

This policy seems to leave the possibility of national restoration to the Sakurajima people themselves. But the Sakurajima people are not a monolithic group.

In fact, the fanatical restorationists were a minority, and the majority were the realists who had seen the future clearly three years after the country was destroyed. Many people just wanted to survive.

Those people fought hard and made great contributions in the war, so naturally they expected to be richly rewarded. Why did they just "sacrifice" like that?

What's more, the strong men who have made military achievements and are rewarded with land have basically become independent. You want to buy back the land? Sure, but the price is not cheap. Can you really afford it when you are already broke?

In a sense, this is similar to a nail house. You finally agree to a deal with one customer, but the next one just doubles the price.

The most important thing is that in the process of conquering the land, or to be more precise, in the process of expelling those foreigners, it is not just the people of Sakurajima who are involved. The strong men from the Leighton Peninsula, the Red Star, the East Country, and all the other strong men from all directions are involved.

This reward is also attractive to them. Who doesn’t want a “free territory” overseas? There are so many possibilities and resources for development.

Judging from the results, no matter who makes the most military achievements in the end, the eastern area will definitely be divided into pieces of "territory" by countless strong men according to their military achievements and their own abilities.

Their "ownership" is guaranteed by the East Country. Once it is legally recognized, it cannot be taken away by human beings.

It was at this time that the "long-term vision" of the policy makers at that time was demonstrated.

Is it possible for those countries to restore their independence? Yes, but probably only a small part can be restored, and if they themselves are "incapable", they will be surrounded by countless "small countries" and repeat the so-called Warring States Period.

This really has nothing to do with the East Country. After all, in reality, they were destroyed and captured by foreign invaders, and the East Country even provided them with rescue and support.

But armed unification is impossible. Repurchase? Will those top masters be short of money? Moreover, many of them have special identities and originally came with a mission.

By then, perhaps a country will really succeed in restoring its independence. Uh, maybe it will be called X-ball. As far as Lu Ping'an knows, many strong people in the East Country have taken on this task.

And that area is really not that big, so maybe it can be done easily.

"In the final analysis, we are too close to the East Country, and the East Country has already determined to become the master of this planet."

The client spoke very clearly at the time, but Lu Ping'an really had a hard time answering.

"Well, that's what you said. It has nothing to do with me."

It is unlikely that the East China Sea region will be able to completely restore its country, and it may eventually split into hundreds of countries in a real sense. Some things cannot be discussed too much and can only be done silently, and this reality is the most likely future development.

"Our most realistic idea is to build a small country in Southeast Asia." This former royal descendant has given up on the East China Sea.

This actually has precedents in other world lines. Some people have actually anticipated this and have made a lot of preparations overseas.

From the perspective of the East Country, since they want it, it is fine to give it to them, not to mention that they are offering foreign planets as a sign of "sincerity".

The southeastern part has little to do with them, so sending some Sakurajima people and Peninsula people who might become troublesome there, or even helping them build an overseas territory, is completely acceptable. Of course, it would be best if "civilian power" like Lu were to carry it out.

In a sense, this might be a good thing for that place, which is now a hell on earth.

At least, they are more or less human.

The East Country has made it clear that it has no interest in Southeast Asia, but it seems that some forces do not think so.

".No, to be precise, it is the Mountain Country itself that wants to unify Southeast Asia and turn that area into its own inland sea, so naturally it is full of hostility towards us who may interfere there."

Lu Ping'an realized that this mission might be more difficult than expected, and the original allies had become the biggest obstacle.
