Chapter 1761: Changes in the World
".These are beasts that deserve to go to hell."
"Meow? Kill them meow!"
"Beasts, so many beasts"
The intelligence sent by the military is the latest local information.
The east is okay, after all, there was some order before. But those small countries in the southwest are increasingly showing the lower limits of humanity.
"Most of the small countries have been destroyed, and with the rising floods, most transportation has been cut off, and it has become countless pieces of no-man's land."
Looking at the various anthropomorphic creatures behaving recklessly, even Lu Ping'an, who had seen a crowd of humanoid stars, exclaimed that it was an eye-opener. He had never seen such a scene before.
"Moral bottom line? Do they have that? They are just a bunch of beasts who will do anything to survive."
In the case of food shortage, the taboo of cannibalism was broken first. Not only did they make it, they also came up with new ways to do it, and even held large-scale dinners and cooking competitions.
As for looting and killing, they are part of daily life.
The intelligence officer who wrote this information even said, "In fact, I hope they open more tunnels and grab more women, so that more people can survive and won't be treated as playthings and food." It is difficult to assess the mental state of the person who wrote this information, but it probably proves that the place has become a living hell.
"What does it say?"
".Just integrate it and make a shell out of it. There's no need to keep anything stained with human flesh and blood."
After thinking it over, Lu Ping'an refused the commission to go to the Eastern Front, as the situation there was still relatively stable and it was actually just a vacation.
Although the Leighton Peninsula and Sakurajima were completely lost, many refugees still fled to the East Country. Some of them integrated into the country, while others continued to try to regain their homeland.
This desire is difficult to curb. At least, it will take one or two generations before they will not be so active.
The battle line over there is naturally the ordinary battle line to reclaim the homeland, and there are a large number of cannon fodder who are not afraid of their lives.
Considering the promise made by the Eastern Country officials to the refugees that the land they fought back would become territory for military merit, the battlefield over there should be going smoothly.
But I'm afraid that it will be divided into "lord territories" as planned before. Restoring the country is probably unlikely, but setting up a few larger overseas territories should be possible.
Lu Ping'an estimated that he could also set up an overseas consulate if he went there. Considering his previous relationship with New Tokyo, he could also serve as a bridge of communication between the two sides, and both sides could benefit.
“But do I really need foreign benefits now?”
Lu Ping'an didn't think there was any benefit in setting up an overseas base at this sensitive stage. He would have a manor to go on vacation, but occupying the land as a king would easily irritate some people.
Previously, his interests and those of the Sakurajima people overlapped, but now he should distance himself from them.
As for the resources that overseas bases can provide, Lu Ping'an doesn't think they can even be a fraction of what his own trading location can provide.
It would be better to consider going to the Southeast Asian Islands, at least you can gain some moral points.
"Or, let's prepare to go abroad, or just reject them all and stay in our country."
Mr. Lu thought about it and no longer had much urge to go southwest.
Although it's a bit cruel, it seems that there is no benefit for me there.
The foreign relations of the East Country are fundamentally different from those of some countries. It is not like some colonial empires that directly hold the other party's resources, taxes, and finances in their hands. The people of those countries are the objects of their constant blood-sucking. The joke that people in those major grain-producing countries starve to death every year due to famine is too hellish and realistic.
Even if the East Country is conquered, it will not be to that extent. A win-win situation can be achieved through fair trade, and there is no need to challenge the moral bottom line of the human race. For the sake of local prosperity, investing a certain amount of infrastructure can also give it more purchasing power, which can in turn feed back to the East Country's excess industry.
This is the development idea for a peaceful era, and judging from what Lu Ping'an had learned, the East Country had no intention of making a fundamental change.
The development of colonies and resource-plundering points is actually too short-sighted and can also create a lot of old hatreds.
"But if that's the case, I'll just be a passer-by and a thug, which is meaningless."
The original law of "war merits in exchange for conquered land (ownerless countries)" still exists, but the overseas territories that are considered super treasures by others do not bring much benefit but a lot of trouble to Lu Ping'an.
Although out of humanitarianism, I do want to save them and set up a branch of the Church of the God of Redemption there, so that Guan Xinxian can obtain true immortality and evolution.
"It's still not worth it. It's better to continue to rest or go abroad."
During the war, Lu Ping'an also suffered a lot of losses. Perhaps it is better to forget about this local war that has no benefits.
"Master, Master, have you received a commission to conquer outside the domain?"
At this time, not long after returning to the ancient city, Lu Ping'an was found by several of his disciples who had been left in the factory to screw screws.
"I'm not interested in going east. It will be troublesome."
Those disciples from Sakurajima are still in contact with their families, so it is normal for them to come to us at this time.
Lu Ping'an stated directly that he did not want to be caught between the East Country and the Sakurajima people. Before, they all had a common enemy, the foreign visitors, and he could reap the benefits from both sides by being a middleman. But now the two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and if he were still in the middle, wouldn't that be a waste of time?
However, he still underestimated the realism and "sincerity" of the Sakurajima people.
"If you don't want to go to the battlefield in the east, the southwest is also OK. In fact, it's better."
The situation in the east will be very complicated. I am afraid that the people who issued the policy of "military merits for land" at that time did not expect that the counterattack would come so soon.
By then, there will be many overseas territories of Sakurajima people, Eastern people, and Peninsula people, cutting Sakurajima and Leighton Peninsula into pieces.
Restoration is basically impossible, and there will be a lot of political and ethnic struggles in this area, which is very annoying. Lu Ping'an doesn't want to get involved.
"In fact, we don't want to touch it. It's a dead end that seems bright."
Those who issued the private invitation were the former "royal relatives". They had professional advisers, but they gave up their homeland.
".We have neither the ability nor the interest to confront the powerful East Country."
Rational people do not talk about reasons and friendship, they only discuss reality.
"We are entrusting you in the name of our family to go there and secure some overseas territory for us. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough for us to build a small city so that our family members can avoid the vortex and survive."
Although the client looked pitiful, Lu Ping'an could see that he was still not honest.
If we really just want to survive, wouldn't it be enough to just be an honest Easterner?
After all, we still want to protect this independence.
Lu Ping'an originally planned to refuse directly, but the other party offered too much, too much.
"A two-digit rule-level treasure is just a gift."
If it were just this, Lu Ping'an could have refused directly.
".The coordinates of three worlds inhabited by intelligent creatures above the level of mid-level demons, unique resource points with great development value."
This seems to be the most valuable legacy of the Sakura Country. It may be their overseas colonies and resource points.
"No, that is our family's property. We can certainly handle it. There are only a few of our teams stationed there, and we haven't had time to develop it yet."
Using the "world" to exchange for the local world's right to survive, this "sincerity" made Lu Ping'an quite moved.
"let me consider it."
Lu Ping'an was still considering the pros and cons, but he inexplicably received the "hint" from above.
"Sir Lu Ping'an, we hope that you can serve as a bridge again and get rid of these troubles." Well, it seems that there is really no reason to refuse.
