Of course, the most critical issue is not the high mortality rate. It is that those civilian warriors who really risked their lives to participate in the war did not receive that much in return. Many people even died on the battlefield for no apparent reason without even receiving their dues.
I can't even get any pension.
Some wealthy nobles even semi-publicly stated that these grassroots warriors at the bottom should fight for the inner earth world. This is their responsibility and even more their honor. It is only natural that they fight for the inner earth world. What kind of compensation do they need? Not all.
Should it?
After all, the class barrier between the rich and nobles in the inner earth world and the grassroots at the bottom is even deeper than in the sunshine era of the surface world.
It cannot be said that the ascending channel of the grassroots at the bottom is completely blocked. There are always some inspirational models like the Bachelor of Hydraulic Engineering and the Bachelor of Copper Coconut.
But in the final analysis, this kind of survivor bias cannot explain the actual problem. How many successful examples have truly emerged from the grassroots in the entire earth's inner world that can be called famous?
In the final analysis, the society in the inner earth world is fragmented. The grassroots at the bottom and the upper-class nobles have two completely different thinkings. The two thinkings have almost no similarities, and even run counter to each other.
The rich and aristocratic people at the upper level cannot understand the joys, sorrows and joys of the grassroots at the bottom, cannot embody their thoughts, cannot understand the real demands of the grassroots at the bottom, and do not even feel that they are the same group as them.
In the eyes of the grassroots at the bottom, the rich and nobles are all a group of arrogant bastards who look down on them. Why do they have everything when they are born? Why do they have to wipe out all the benefits? The people at the bottom even pay compensation.
Even with all the smiles on your face, you can’t even share the leftovers?
To be fair, they don't even dare to hope for it. Many times, what the grassroots want is just to live in peace and earn a living.
Even so, they still have to face exploitation from the top and bullying from the middle. Once you are dissatisfied and resist even a little bit, you will be humiliated and beaten at worst, or lose your life or even have your family destroyed.
These situations may not be obvious at ordinary times. As long as life is getting better, everyone will continue to struggle when they should, and they will continue to struggle when they should.
Life has to go on after all, right?
And the controllers of the inner earth world have been drawing a big pie. In the future, if they take over the surface world, there will be countless territories and countless resources. By then, everyone's life will be easier. Everyone in the entire inner earth tribe will
Live a good life.
I have to say, this pie is quite inspiring. At least in the early years, the inner earth world as a whole had an optimistic atmosphere. Regardless of internal conflicts or not, when it comes to the surface world, everyone has the same heart.
They all have a kind of fanatical thought that once the surface world is taken over, everyone's life will be better and life will be better.
This pie is really a good medicine, which has alleviated the contradictions in the inner earth world to a great extent.
But in this world, after all, it is impossible to satisfy one's hunger by drawing big cakes all the time. No matter how easy it is for the grassroots at the grassroots level to be satisfied, it is impossible to always draw cakes to satisfy one's hunger and look at the plum blossoms to quench one's thirst.
With the overturning of the special medicine, the two golden ethnic groups in the two university palaces were at odds with each other. They fought like crazy and started fighting. The whole inner earth world was in darkness and the population dropped sharply.
After more than three years of fighting, the war was finally over. The entire inner earth world sadly discovered that after the war, the three university palaces were still the three university palaces, and the top ten golden ethnic groups were still the golden ethnic groups.
Those who died the most were the grassroots at the bottom. Many families were destroyed, and many low-level warriors became withered bones in the wilderness and became cannon fodder in wars.
The so-called opportunities, the so-called ascending channel, and the so-called changing destiny are all nonsense.
Although the Five Elements Academy has produced a bachelor of hydraulic engineering, who can be regarded as a grassroots representative who has emerged during the war in recent years, but what about other than that?
How many grassroots representatives have emerged?
The so-called shuffling of the cards is not really shuffling the cards at all, but more like a con man controlling the cards.
Although the three university palaces have reached peace with each other due to the war, the rifts have not been eliminated. There is no real unity among the three university palaces, and there is less of the original tacit understanding.
There are many conflicts among the ten major ethnic groups, and they are constantly scheming against each other.
As a result, their control of public opinion in the inner earth world is naturally not as easy as before.
The most important thing is that it was originally promised to take over the surface world, but now it seems that it is not the case at all. Not only is the surface world not as weak as they advertised, but it has gradually plotted against the giant forces in the inner earth world, and even
The entire Geocentric Clan is involved in the conspiracy.
The special medicine was tampered with, causing the genes of the entire inner earth tribe to be changed, and was severely plotted by the humans on the surface.
It can be said that why is the inner earth world so hasty in launching a surface war?
It’s not because there is not much time left for the inner earth world. If they cannot win this war quickly and take over the surface world, it means that as time goes by, the combat effectiveness of the inner earth world will become weaker and weaker.
We are increasingly unable to win this war.
The most terrible thing is that the inner earth tribe will even be assimilated by the surface world! Even more terrifying is the saying that the inner earth tribe will be domesticated by surface humans!
What is domestication? When humans tame wild beasts into livestock, that’s called domestication!
Once they get to that point, it means they will be treated like animals.
And who is the culprit that caused all this? You can say it is the surface humans, but in the final analysis, it is not the evil caused by giant forces such as Titan Academy and Taiyi Academy?
It was not the intrigues and schemes among these golden groups that brought the inner earth world into this terrifying abyss.
Even at this time, these giant forces still do not change their arrogance. The attitude towards the grassroots at the bottom is still the kind of condescending conscription, the kind of condescending order, like a cold machine, without any warmth, no sympathy, no
Warmth, some of them are bossy.
This makes the grassroots, who were already disillusioned, even more disappointed.
Not to mention that life is better and more promising, life today is simply not as good as before. This is also the reason why bandits are rampant everywhere today.
In order to evade recruitment and avoid being used as cannon fodder for wealthy nobles, many low-level warriors even abandoned their identity as adventurers and became bandits, turning from light to darkness.
Surface battlefield?
Go to the fucking surface battlefield.
Those grassroots people who went to the surface battlefield to fight for their lives have proven everything. Not only can they not realize their so-called future, but they can't save their lives, and they can't even get pensions if they die.
Is this a battle that the grassroots can take part in?
Since all the benefits have been wiped out by the rich and powerful families, let the rich and powerful families fight this war, and let their wealthy children fight to the death and bleed.
The disillusionment and laziness of the grassroots did not develop overnight. During the more than three years of internal war, the symptoms had actually appeared and expanded.
It was just the mobilization of the surface war that caused those grassroots grassroots who were unwilling to give up to attack again.
But the cruel facts once again proved that cannon fodder is always cannon fodder. The rewards they imagined were not fulfilled. The first batch of grassroots warriors to enter the surface battlefield not only suffered heavy casualties, but also failed to reap any of the legendary benefits.
The so-called resources all over the surface world have nothing to do with them at all. They can't get them or take them away.
Apart from fighting and dying every day, there is nothing to look forward to at all. Moreover, in the territory of humans on the surface, the war is not as destructive as imagined. Instead, it is frustrated at every turn, not to mention heavy casualties, and they have to endure various sneak attacks every day.
risks of.
After learning this lesson, the grassroots warriors who had not yet had time to rush to the surface battlefield began to gradually understand the reality.
It cannot be said that the inner earth world has been unable to mobilize grassroots warriors, but the fanatical and blind atmosphere of the past few years has completely disappeared.
As a senior official, I feel more and more that mobilizing troops is becoming more difficult and more expensive every time.
To put it mildly, it is becoming increasingly difficult for grassroots warriors to mobilize, and their immunity to the unchanging rhetoric of high-level officials in the inner earth world is getting stronger and stronger.
Those at the top may not be able to empathize with those at the bottom, but they must not doubt their sensitivity to changes in the situation.
In the Three University Palaces, the ten golden ethnic groups all felt that not only the grassroots warriors at the bottom no longer followed them so enthusiastically, but also the second- and third-line forces that had always followed them were no longer as obedient as before and invested regardless of the cost.
.
If the war situation goes smoothly, the battlefield is victorious, resources are continuously plundered from the surface world, and resources are continuously sent back to the inner earth world, all these problems will not be a problem.
But the bad thing is that the battle situation is not going well. Let alone plundering resources, one's own resources are constantly invested, just like a bottomless pit, but there is no money back at all.
If we could expand the surface battlefield and gain territory piece by piece, that would be okay. The problem is that the various armies in the inner earth world have almost no substantial development in the surface battlefield, and are almost trapped in fragmented areas.
On the battlefield, there was no response to each other, and they were almost trapped in the dilemma of fighting alone.
Apart from the constant requests for spiritual stones, elixirs, and reinforcements from the inner earth world, almost no good news has come through.
Under this situation, no matter how optimistic and nervous the grassroots warrior is, he should realize that something is wrong.
The wind direction has obviously changed.
The warriors at the bottom have noticed that the wind direction has changed, how can the superiors not sense it?
They cannot lie down like the grassroots warriors at the bottom. They are the vested interests of the inner earth world and will never allow this kind of failure to happen.
Jiang Yue now had a faint taste for food.
Sure enough, there will be no banquet without reason.
Of course, Jiang Yue is in no hurry to continue. The current atmosphere in the inner earth world is exactly what Jiang Yue likes to see.
It can be seen that the inner earth world is no longer the era where everyone worked together to conquer the surface.
The grassroots warriors can no longer be mobilized by just relying on the rhetoric to draw the pie. In fact, Jiang Yue has already felt this.
Why did he go all out to suppress the bandits and kill them all? To put it bluntly, it wasn't that he had any deep grudge against these grassroots adventurers.
All of this is done deliberately. These grassroots adventurers became bandits because of the deterioration of the environment in the inner earth world.
As for the deterioration of the general environment, grassroots adventurers attribute the reason to the misbehavior of giants and powerful families.
This is also the reason why the bandits knew that the spirit stones were escorted by the Five Elements Academy to the Baoshu and Yaocao tribes, but they still determined to plunder them.
To put it bluntly, this is a contradiction that is not clearly stated.
And Jiang Yue's full suppression and killing was actually to stimulate this contradiction, expand this contradiction, intensify this contradiction, and further tear the Earth Center Clan apart.
It has to be said that his goal has actually been achieved.
Because of this massacre, the people naturally hated the thunderous methods of the Five Elements Academy. They even hated Jiang Yue, an inspirational model with a grassroots background.
I feel that once this guy became powerful, he completely forgot about his origins and class, and began to become a hawk dog of the powerful.
Tonight's banquet is probably just for this reason.
The Yaocao clan chief looked at Jiang Yue with a smile, and said in a somewhat joking and somewhat tentative tone: "Bachelor of hydraulic engineering, you are the representative of the rise of the grassroots. Logically speaking, you should have become the spokesperson of the grassroots at the bottom. Five Elements School
The palace should promote you with great fanfare, package your reputation, and even send you to the surface battlefield to make contributions and make you a household name. In this way, the enthusiasm of the grassroots warriors at the bottom can be mobilized to a greater extent, and everyone can see the reality of the inner earth world.
There is no limit to the rise. Unfortunately, the Five Elements Academy may have its own considerations, and it has not done enough in this regard."
Jiang Yue said humbly: "Five Elements Academy has promoted me to the status of a bachelor in a few years, which is a great favor. I am young, have little knowledge, and have insufficient foundation. Is the Academy doing this to protect me?"
The leader of the Yaocao clan sighed and said: "You young man, you are really good-tempered. It's not that I'm instigating discord. According to your contribution, in fact, the treatment of a bachelor is the most basic. If the Five Elements Academy can't even do this, then
It’s just too shabby.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "This is enough, Xiao Ke doesn't dare to expect more for the time being."
"No, you shouldn't be humble at this time. If I were a senior member of the Five Elements Academy and I did extraordinary things in extraordinary times, I would definitely send you to the most useful place, let you make contributions, and promote you to a higher status, maybe even
You have a greater future."
When the Yaocao clan chief said this, he glanced at Grand Master Linghua with a smile: "Lord Linghua, what would you do if you were in Taiyi Academy?"
The Suzuka University Scholar smiled. It was obviously a woman's dress, but it somehow looked more girlish.
"Taiyi Academy has always been thirsty for talents, and has never been stingy about rewarding meritorious ministers. The original Bronze Ye Bachelor is a clear proof. Although the special medicine incident is a tragedy, Taiyi Academy's generous treatment of the Bronze Ye Bachelor is the best in the world.
Everyone knows it.”
The Yaocao clan leader nodded: "Yes, nowadays, a talent like a Bachelor of Water Engineering is much more important than a Bachelor of Bronze Coconut!"
