Chapter 1027: community (1/2)

Under the infinitely high blue sky, the shallow water like a mirror extends to the end of the line of sight. In this incredibly vast world, anyone in it will inevitably have a growing sense of insignificance.

Rosetta couldn't help looking around the place again, and then withdrew her gaze, and said with a trace of emotion: "Those eternal sleepers once described the power of'extraterritorial wanderers'... Someone mentioned that the chosen person is eligible. Meet the wanderers directly in a special space, but no one of them has actually seen this place—this is what they are talking about?"

"Almost-but the believers have a lot of misunderstandings about me," Gawain smiled. "They seem to exaggerate my...dangerously, and since they choose to fall to Typhon, they will not use too good words. To describe my "enemy"."

Rosetta looked at Gawain very seriously, even though he was in a strange space, and even though he seemed to have no initiative at all, he still seemed very calm here, without the feeling of involuntary at all: " I'm curious--whether you, Gawain Cecil, or an out-of-territory wanderer... Are you a human or a wandering, god-like existence in this world?"

Gao Wen opened his hands: "I just worked with you to defeat a god. I thought we already had the most basic trust."

Rosetta remained unmoved, even her expression didn't change much, she just continued to look at Gawain.

"Well, you can think of me as a traveler, a'human' who is similar to yours, but with some special experiences and special abilities," Gao Wen sighed helplessly and said more casually, "This The way of understanding is more helpful for us to build a relationship of friendship and mutual trust-don't think about "outer-territorial wanderers", more often this name is just to deter those dark believers."

Rosetta frowned, always with a thoughtful expression on his slightly gloomy face, and only a few seconds later did he break the silence: "Then, you brought me to this'place', what did you want to talk to me? "

"Just to get in touch—you know, since this'war' broke out, Typhon and Cecil's communication has fallen into a semi-stasis, which is very dangerous, and now the biggest threat has finally disappeared, I I think we need to make a contact as soon as possible, which will help avoid any...chaos in the two countries under high tension," Gao Wen said seriously. "After all, our two armies are currently in a very The chaotic post-war scorched earth."

Gawain’s tone is very friendly, even with a sense of homely gossip, but Rosetta can hear a lot of deep meaning from these calm words. He glanced at Gawain deeply before speaking slowly. : "This fire is burning enough-neither you nor I want it to continue."

"It seems that we have reached a consensus in the general direction," Gawain looked at Rosetta's eyes. "Then there is a basis for returning to the negotiating table-specifically how to make this fire slowly extinguished, we Later, there will be time to talk slowly at the negotiating table."

Rosetta's expression was calm, but she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He knew that one of the worst situations in his many post-war deductions would not appear. Although it may not be cheap, it is better than a war that has spread to Aldernan. After relaxing slightly, he couldn't help but look at Gawain more, and said very bluntly: "To be honest, I thought you would not stop - for Cecil, this is a rare opportunity. , Typhon is so weak at this moment, Aldernan is almost in front of you."

Rosetta's straightforwardness made Gawain a little surprised. He glanced at the Typhon ruler unexpectedly and raised his eyebrows: "Then guess, why don't I do this?"

Rosetta was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "You can't eat the entire Typhon-this vast and densely populated land will only plunge Cecil into the quagmire after the war. Other than that, I can't think of a better one. Reason."

Gawain gave each other a deep look, and he had to admit that Rosetta was at least half right.

He really thought about letting the fire continue, and even took this opportunity to directly enter Aldernan and merge the two human empires into one. This seems to be a very attractive and even exciting option—— Unfortunately, the logic of the real world is not so simple.

As Rosetta said, Cecil can’t eat the entire Typhon, or even one-third of it-Typhon is not the savage and backward southern border, nor is it the blank Anzu after the Civil War. In its territory, there is no "owner" who is willing to take an entire aristocratic system with sincerity like the original Victoria and Baldwin. It is a modern empire that has entered a period of industrial development, with a clear and strict official system, and a civilized mass community. , The vast land has a population of nearly 100 million, a stable ruling order, an independent and complete cultural system, and countless people and officials who are loyal to the Augustus royal family... This is the same as the Anzu of the year. It's not a concept at all.

The above points, even after experiencing this war, have not changed much.

On the other hand, Gawain is also very clear about Cecil’s own situation: under the surface of the prosperity brought about by advanced technology and transnational trade, what is hidden is still a country that has just emerged from the shadow of civil war, and many regions are still doing their best to restore and construct. In this country, the wounds caused by the previous civil war and the divine disaster have just healed. The gaps in the officials and clerks of the government affairs offices across the country are barely filled up to now. There has been no cleanup and elimination of the old nobles and civil war speculators. It's over. The last round of food crisis has just passed safely, and the current reserves of food in the treasury...not even enough to sustain the war until this fall.

If you really want to fight, with the current situation of Typhon, Cecil's legion may really be able to hit Aldernan-but that can only be a quagmire enough to drag Cecil into it. The Typhons will not be easily defeated like the southern aristocrats and the Holy Spirit Plains aristocrats. The continuous skirmish will probably continue until next year or even the next year. A new ruling order cannot be established, and the huge new population will far exceed that of Serbia. The processing limit of the Sear Government Affairs Office, long-term inability to make ends meet will bring down Cecil's weak reserves, and the consequent supply shortage and deterioration of social security will generally snowball out of control.

In more than a dozen deductions by the Archons, Neural Networks, Naritier, etc., the final conclusion is almost the same: Typhon cannot be completely occupied, and cannot be completely assimilated, and Cecil will eventually withdraw from this quagmire. In addition to years of economic stagnation or even regression, the only gains for the two countries are the hatred that will last for about two to three generations and the collapse of the prestige of the Supreme Council.

If this war can be postponed for a few more years, the situation may be different-but the real world does not have so many "ifs."

But this is only half of the reason why Gawain chose to prevent the "fire" from continuing to burn.
