Chapter 1642 Declaration of War
"Perhaps, you will be dissatisfied with our conservative strategic decision back then. To be frank, our decision to stick to our homeland did indeed lead to the failure of the entire Pacific Campaign. The fall of many Pacific island countries was related to it. Many people feel that if we had fought harder back then, perhaps the situation would be much better than it is now. I do not deny that this is indeed possible."
The leader of the East Country, who is already in his seventies and the big boss of the Song family who implemented the Nirvana Plan, appeared on the TV screen again.
This was not a national speech, but an internal presentation to the administrative, judicial, and military institutions of the East.
Lu Ping'an had seen the old man in person and was surprised at how old he was. The old man was sitting in a wheelchair with an IV drip, and his life force was so fragile that it could die at any time.
Perhaps, at this time, the ability to withstand stress and the energy consumption required for that position are indeed not something that ordinary people can endure.
This time, it was the second time that Lu Ping'an saw the old man's internal propaganda. This is one of the traditions of the East. The East is not used to hyping up a certain concept or using nationwide enthusiasm to exaggerate emotions, but it does not mean that "propaganda" is not important.
On the contrary, unlike those Western countries that need votes, they need to hype concepts to get votes. As long as the voting is over, the policies, reforms, and slogans are not important afterwards. There are too many reasons and excuses to make them irrelevant. Maybe those politicians are indeed good orators, but most of their speeches are used in the name of false promises and incitement.
Dongguk is taking a completely different path in this regard.
".However, the cost of this possibility is borne by us, and there is no end in sight. Our calculators have concluded that if we fought to the death with the enemy in a very unfavorable ocean environment at that time, our losses would be extremely heavy, and most of the first batch of soldiers would die in battle. I know you are not afraid of losses, but it takes us three years to train a soldier, and it normally takes six years for a transcendent to start from scratch, while the enemy only needs to open another door and move out of another tribe."
Unifying thoughts is absolutely necessary before large-scale action, but it is not necessary to incite ordinary people who are not related to it.
Basic national policies and important strategies will be briefly reported on public radio and television, but the individuals who need to be unified in their thinking for more detailed content are always the grassroots executors at every level.
A few years ago, when this old man was promoting the Nirvana Plan, he also issued it layer by layer in official internal television conferences.
It is the internal executors, field soldiers, and logistics overtime workers who need to unify their thoughts and understand the current major strategies of the East Country, rather than irrelevant critics.
".The next war is our best chance, but this is no reason for you to sacrifice yourself. Plane wars are essentially no different from national wars. What is fought is always the comprehensive national strength and consumption of each other. Compared with foreign invaders, we are the weak, and the weak must be calm and rational enough, and must see the future."
The total military strength, top combat power, and number of gods are not comparable to those of the multiverse-level plane invaders.
".The weak and the strong fight a war of attrition, foolishly and arrogantly."
There weren’t many explanations before, just various speculations, but this time, there is a unified response.
In police stations, in military barracks, in government buildings, everyone is listening and understanding.
Some people were thoughtful, while others were indignant. Even though they knew that if they were involved in the Pacific War, they would be doomed to lose all their manpower, but when the losses and tragedies were placed before them, their emotions were uncontrollable.
Over the years, many people have participated in the war privately, many have been killed in battle, and there are also many "deserters" who went and returned.
All those who know the situation, when mentioning that place, all make comments like "it's too cruel" and "a bloody battle, a real bloody battle". Even the top strong men could die directly on such a battlefield.
And in the news broadcast, the decision made by the Eastern country officials that year was responded to.
".Our biggest disadvantage is that as a supernatural race we are still too young, and our supernatural powers are not enough. Our biggest advantage is technology, and the battlefield is our homeland where our technology can be used."
Some things were speculation before, but now they are verified.
"We are a civilization, not a primitive tribe. We need time to adjust our technology to suit the new naval warfare. Our greatest resource has never been our population, but the world's largest population of highly educated people, which means the largest number of candidate engineers, professional candidates, and mechanics."
Obviously, decision makers see things more clearly than anyone else.
Just like when he pushed forward the Nirvana Plan against all odds that day, it was because he saw the slow death of countries all over the world. And a few years ago, he forced the implementation of the "Isolation Front" because he saw the tragic sacrifices that would be suffered by the East Country if it was caught in the battlefield at that time.
The Dong people are never afraid of sacrifice, but they hate meaningless sacrifice.
In that ocean, under the circumstances at the time, there were not enough cannon fodder, combat platforms, information support platforms, and long-range attack weapons. When most of the war preparations could not be put into use, a large number of soldiers were thrown in to fill the line. The loss of low-level combat power was very painful, and the high-level combat power was reduced by one death, and it was impossible to replenish it in the short term.
".Our blood and energy should be shed for our country. Only by preserving our living strength can we launch a counterattack when necessary."
And this is still part of what can be said.
Based on Lu Ping'an's understanding of those top-level extraordinary people, their loyalty basically has a price. If you really ask him to fill in the lines, his passive resistance is considered friendly. The most likely thing is that he will run away, and in extreme circumstances, he will directly defect.
On the contrary, they are the most important. Although it is cruel, most people just want to fight a favorable battle. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, and wise decision makers will find ways to make themselves the one with the favorable situation.
The reason we didn't attack at that time was that when we counterattack now, most of the high-level forces are still on our side.
".The long patience is for today. Now we are ready for war. The Thirteenth Ocean War Zone has formed twenty-one super fleets. A large number of extraordinary people have completed adaptive training. Now the proportion of extraordinary people in our country has even reached 21%. The most important thing is that our civilization is ready to deal with this war."
Those calm words express the determination to win. For this moment, the entire country has been working hard for three years.
A large amount of resources have been invested in war preparations. This is a true situation of failure or death. This is the weak clenching their fists, trying to seize that momentary opportunity to counterattack.
In the eyes of the East Country and even the whole world, foreign invaders are weaklings, and rather than constantly bleeding the weak, the best way to win is to deliver a fatal blow at the most appropriate time. But theory is always theory. To be able to overcome this last moment, Lu Ping'an didn't dare to think about how much pressure the decision makers above would face.
".At this moment, words are meaningless, only fighting can do it."
"Fight for our country."
"Fight for humanity."
“Fight for our future.”
Completely different from the expected passion, today's speakers can probably only speak these plain words in a trembling voice.
"For our family, whether it's our big family or your small family, we will fight to the end."
On the same day, war was declared and the first battle to defend the Earth began.
