".These are a bunch of beasts that deserve to go to hell."
"Meow? Kill them, meow!"
"Beasts, so many beasts"
The information sent by the military department is the latest local information.
The east side is okay, after all, there was some order before, but the small countries in the southwest are increasingly showing the lower limit of human beings.
"Most small countries have been destroyed. Coupled with rising floods, most transportation has been cut off, and they have become countless divided and unclaimed lands."
Seeing the misbehavior of various anthropomorphic creatures above, even Lu Pingping, who had seen humanoid stars, would shout that it was eye-opening. He had never seen this scene before.
"Moral bottom line? What do they have? These are a group of beasts, beasts that will do anything to survive."
In the case of food shortage, the taboo of eating the same kind was broken immediately. Not only did they make it, they also played tricks and even held large-scale dinners and cooking competitions.
As for looting and killing, that's all daily.
The intelligence officer who wrote this information even said, "Actually, I'm really looking forward to them opening more and grabbing more women and so on, so that a few people can survive and not be treated as playthings and food." It's difficult to evaluate.
The mental state of the person who wrote the information probably proves that the place there has become a hell on earth.
"What does it say above?"
". Just integrate it. Get a shell out. There is no need to keep anything stained with human flesh and blood."
After thinking about it, Lu Ping'an declined the request to go to the Eastern Front. It was still relatively stable there and was actually for vacation.
The Leton Peninsula and Sakurajima were completely lost, but there were still many refugees who fled to the East Country. Some of them integrated into it, while others always tried to regain their homeland.
This desire is difficult to curb. At least, it will take one or two generations before they will be so active.
The front over there, which is naturally the ordinary front to take back the homeland, also has a large number of cannon fodder who are desperate for their lives.
Considering the original promise made by the Eastern Kingdom officials to those refugees, the land they took back would become the territory of military exploits, so the battlefield there should go smoothly.
But I am afraid that it will be divided into "Lord Territories" one by one according to the previous plan. It is probably impossible to restore the country, but it should be possible to establish several larger overseas territories.
Lu Ping'an estimated that he could also set up an overseas consulate in the past. Considering his previous relationship with New Tokyo, he could also become a bridge of communication between the two parties, and both parties would benefit.
"But do I really need foreign interests now?"
Lu Ping'an doesn't think there is any benefit in setting up an overseas residence by himself at this sensitive stage. If he goes on vacation, he also owns a manor. If land is really king, it will easily irritate some people's nerves.
In the past, the interests of himself and the Sakurajima people were intertwined, but now he should distance himself.
As for the resources that overseas locations can provide, Lu Ping An doesn’t think they can match those at his own trading locations.
Then it’s really better to consider going to the Southeast Asian Islands, where you can at least earn some moral points.
"Otherwise, we should prepare to go overseas, or simply refuse and stay in our country for a while."
Lu thought about it for a moment and didn't have much urge to go to the southwest.
Although it is a bit cruel, it seems that there are no benefits that I need.
Dongguo's foreign relations are fundamentally different from those of some countries. Unlike some colonial empires, it directly holds the other country's resources, taxes, and finance in its hands. The people of those countries are the targets of its constant blood-sucking. Those countries
The joke about people starving to death in a large grain-producing country every year due to grain shortages is too hellish and realistic.
Even if the East Kingdom is conquered, it will not reach the level where a win-win situation can only be achieved through fair transactions. There is no need to challenge the lower moral limits of the human stars. For the sake of local prosperity, investing in a certain degree of infrastructure can also make it have more.
The purchasing power of the country can instead feed the surplus industries of the East.
This is the development idea in the peaceful era, and judging from the results of Lu Ping'an's inquiries, Dongguo has no intention of fundamentally changing it.
The point-based development of colonies and plundering resources is actually too short-sighted and can also create a lot of feuds.
"But in this case, I was just a passerby and a thug, so it was meaningless."
The original law of "conquering land in exchange for military exploits (a country without a master)" still exists, but the overseas territories that others regard as super treasures bring little benefit to Lu Ping'an, but a lot of trouble.
Although out of humanitarianism, I do want to save him, and setting up a branch of the Church of the God of Redemption there would also facilitate Guan Xinxian's attainment of eternal life and evolution in the true sense.
"It's still not cost-effective. It's better to continue to rest or go outside the territory."
During the war, Lu Ping'an's side also consumed a lot of money. Maybe it's better to forget about this kind of local war that has no benefits.
"Master, Master, have you received a commission for an expedition outside the territory?"
At this time, not long after returning to the ancient city, Lu Pingan was found by several of his disciples who had left him in the factory to make screws.
"I'm not interested in going east, it will be very troublesome."
Those disciples from Sakurajima still have contact with their families, so it is normal for them to come to them at this time.
Lu Ping'an directly stated that he did not want to be caught between the Dongguo and Sakurajima people. Before, they all had a common enemy, the visitors from the outside world. As a middleman, he could benefit from both sides. Now the two sides are fighting openly and secretly. If he is still in the middle, isn't it because of his presence?
?
However, he still underestimated the reality and "sincerity" of Sakurajima people.
"If you don't want to go to the battlefield in the east, the southwest is also possible, actually it's better"
The situation beyond the east will be very complicated. I am afraid that those who issued the "war merits in exchange for land" policy at that time did not expect that the counterattack would come so quickly.
At that time, there will be many overseas territories of Sakurajima people, Togoku people, and Peninsular people, cutting Sakurajima and Leton Peninsula into pieces.
It is basically impossible to restore the country, and the politics and ethnic struggles in this region will be very troublesome. Lu Ping'an doesn't want to touch it.
"Actually, we don't want to touch it. It seems like a dead end."
The people who issued the private invitation were the former "royal clan members". They had professional advisers, but they gave up on their homeland.
".We have neither the ability nor the interest to confront the powerful Eastern Kingdom."
Rational people do not talk about reasons and friendships, but only discuss reality.
"We are entrusting you in the name of our family to go over there and win some overseas territory for us. It doesn't need to be big. It will allow us to build a small city so that our family can avoid the whirlpool and survive."
The client seemed pitiful, but Lu Pingan could see that he was still dishonest.
If you really just want to survive, just be a Dongguo people and that’s the end of it.
Ultimately, I still want to protect this independence.
Lu Ping'an originally planned to refuse directly, but the offer was too much, too much.
"A double-digit rule-level treasure is just a gift."
If it was just this, Lu Ping An could refuse it directly.
".The coordinates of three worlds inhabited by intelligent creatures above demons. It is a unique resource point with great development value."
This seems to be the most valuable legacy of Ying Country back then. It may be their overseas colonies and resource points.
"No, that is our family's property. We can naturally 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" in exchange for the right to survive in the local world, this "sincerity" makes Lu Ping'an very excited.
"I'll think about it."
Lu Ping'an was still thinking about the pros and cons, but inexplicably got the "hint" from above.
"Your Excellency Lu Ping'an, we hope that you can become a bridge again and get rid of these troubles." Well, it seems that there is really no reason to refuse.
