Speaking till here, he had already entered a state that ordinary people could not comprehend. Only knowledgeable politicians would understand what Cai Bixia was saying.
What is war? There was neither justice nor freedom of belief. War was just a business deal, a huge business deal that surpassed all business!
From the moment that anthropology learned how to use tools, they already knew how to arm their own hands. Not all sticks were used to fight cattle and horses, but they could also smash the skulls of other tribal warriors!
The polished stone sabers and stone axes could not only be used to cut down prey, but also the heads of competitors!
Asking for resources from nature was a way for humans to survive. Raising a butcher knife to their own kind was also a way to survive, and it was even better!
Humans not only know how to lecture cattle, sheep, horses, cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, becoming animal husbandry products! People could still lecture others and become slaves! How were so many towering buildings cut in the ancient human era?
The extravagant life of the aristocrats before the Qin and Han dynasties, did they not rely on slaves to support them?
Even if slavery was abolished, humans would still start with their own kind. Had the wheat of the Central Plains become ripe? He picked up the cavalry!
The cattle and sheep outside the barrier are swarming in? Wouldn't the powerful Central Plains Empire extort some tributes?
The history of the human race was a history of killing without any mercy. To survive or to live better than others, starting a war was never a moral option!
Ancient humans forged bronze, sharpened iron swords, and invested money into the army. In that case, the people of nineteenth century would also make rifles, fill up cannons, and make huge amounts of money to invest into the powerful armed forces!
The army was created by spending a lot of money. Could it be placed there as a decoration? Don't investments see gains? It was obvious that politicians were more responsible than ordinary people thought. They were obviously smarter!
The commoners all knew that there was always something to be gained by spending money. How could those people not know?
British and French combined forces used a weak vote to obtain the authorization of the council, and invested a large amount of money to form the Expeditionary forces. He spent millions of pounds to attack your Great Qing, could it be for some bullsh * t morality?
The first thing he needs to do is to reimburse the military expenditures. After defeating your Great Qing, he will need to at least plunder a large amount of war reparations, and this person will need to earn money!
What's the difference between an army investment and a company fund? If the money was gathered together, they would have to make a profit. If they didn't make a profit, why would they have to amass money? A deal that only a fool could buy!
Cai Bixia rolled her eyes as she salivated at Yi Kuang's words and said with a cold smile, ”Actually, purchasing arms is not something that can be discussed. Sometimes, your decisions are not what you want!”
”It was decided by your competitors! If others have it but you don't, then you will throw yourself into an extremely dangerous situation! ”
”The money invested by others has been converted into combat power. In the future, I will defeat you on the battlefield and earn back the money invested by you ten times over from the compensation!”
”The airship is very expensive. Without six or seven million taels, it will be impossible to form a battle force. However, once this battle force is formed, perhaps one day, you will be able to earn 16.7 million from the enemy!”
”Is this account difficult to settle? Do you want to be the loser and get robbed, or do you want to be the winner and get robbed? ”
”An arms race is not something you can choose not to participate in! You're still dreaming about closing your door and living your life? The enemy is already prepared to blast your little door open! ”
None of the princes could refute Cai Bixia's words. This bloody reality, this was something this commoner could not understand!
The commoners were always naive enough to think that if I didn't kill or set fire to the people, I wouldn't do anything that was poisonous or illegal. I would just live a peaceful life, how would it hinder others?
But if your family had money, then it would definitely hinder others. Why would the robbers bother to reason with you? Your family has money and food! That's the only reason why they want to kill you!
