Blackstone Code Chapter 1209: We lost a noble
Outside the palace, an elder stopped the imperial marshal, who did not treat him lightly because he was just an "ordinary person".
The two walked side by side on the road, and some passers-by would salute them with respect, and some would not.
They also don't ask people to be respectful to them, which is one of the most special aspects of the Pontgio Empire - in a way it makes everyone equal.
But in some aspects, there are still classes in this society, but the gap between classes is not so big, and social resources are not completely in the hands of the privileged class of the aristocracy.
"I saw those planes. If the Federals send planes to deal with us, will we have a solution to them?", the elder asked what he cared about.
There are no secrets hidden between people, nor between countries.
Certain countries have received overseas stock versions of the Chi-I bomber from Lynch, and these stock items have subsequently flowed into the wider market.
The people here have spent a lot of money and bought two aircraft. It is said that the Empire has been able to launch a generation of bombers with better performance on the basis of replicating this model of bombers, and has entered a state of semi-production.
In fact, such things as airplanes, except for figuring out some key things, industrial powers can easily reproduce them.
The Imperial Marshal and the military quickly understood the value of the aircraft and began hacking and experimenting.
Having money and industrial capabilities, these things that do not involve some sophisticated electronic technology are not too difficult topics for this country with a long history.
Now the first generation of self-produced bombers is in production. At the same time, in order to suppress the terrible lethality brought by the aircraft to the army, Penggio's military industry group has also developed some efficient anti-aircraft artillery.
In addition to this, there are some other new equipment, which have no practical use after being produced except for occasional exercises or trying some new tactical coordination.
They can only be parked quietly in the warehouse, and the next time they may be pulled out will be sent to the metal recycling factory.
The marshal nodded, "Actually, this is a good thing for us, everyone thinks that Gavra, the Federation, is the country with the most outstanding military technology and capability in the world, and they don't take us seriously at all. in.”
"And we do need to understand the gap between ourselves and their so-called technologically advanced countries before we can take back the glory that belongs to us."
"It's going to be a test where we can find the gap between us!"
Actually, as early as last year, there were some voices in Penggio. They continued to promote the development of science and technology, promote the development of industry, and build various equipment for war. !
It can't be without it, it's just a waste of money.
The idea of putting them out for use has gradually become a trend.
It is also necessary for the entire country to use the opportunity of friction to test the gap between them and the federal military.
"If we lose, we can find what we're missing here and fix it."
"At least we won't be too far behind when all-out war begins."
The elder nodded and asked, "What if you win?"
The Imperial Marshal was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "If we win, we can help the royal family of Nagalil realize their desire for autonomy!"
The elder also smiled after hearing this, "I know how to convince those businessmen that they will be interested in this news!"
The business atmosphere within the Ponjieo Empire is relatively relaxed. After all, there are millennium nobles and millennium royal families under the pressure, and it is difficult for capital to make waves in this land.
However, this does not mean that the restrictions of power on capital will be very strict. On the contrary, in many cases, power will deliberately make way for capital, such as external conquest and plunder.
On this continent, many people believe that this kind of outward expansion, aggression and plunder comes from the interests of the Pongio aristocracy or the ruling class.
Actually not, these demands all come from the middle and lower classes of society. When they think that the current life cannot satisfy their yearning for life, or when it is difficult to support, they will think of outward expansion, aggression or plunder.
The people will join the army in large numbers and rush to the front.
They can plunder directly on the front line, and they can also be promoted through military merit and other methods. Every war is a carnival for the Pongio Empire!
Except for the war with Gafra.
The Gevra people have firmly grasped the control of the sea, so that the Pengios can only be beaten, unable to fight back, they are all holding back their strength, and they want to show the Gevra people a little more powerful.
A pressure tank can explode if it becomes too pressurized.
Social pressure can explode.
This "friction" can also be seen as a way to release pressure and contradictions within society.
If they win the friction, and keep winning, then it's a war.
The wealthy Nagalil at this time can definitely bring to the Empire what everyone wants, wealth, power, status, or whatever.
If you lose, you can turn the pressure inside the society into motivation.
It's not without strong opponents, but these opponents eventually fell at its feet one by one.
Hundreds of bronze statues are kneeling at the foot of the holy mountain. Every time the Pongio Empire conquers a power, a regime, it will shape their rulers into kneeling bronze statues and suppress them under the holy mountain!
If people knew there was going to be some armed friction soon, they would be very happy.
Without even persuasion, businessmen invest in wars and ordinary people invest in enlistment, it's like a feast, and everyone can't wait!
A dynasty that has lasted for thousands of years has always maintained its unusual vitality, which is both eerie and frightening.
Soon Penggio's reaction was fed back to the Commonwealth. As the core country of the defeated country, the Ministry of Defense gave it a higher score than Guevra when assessing its war potential, and much higher .
It didn't take much damage to its overall strength during the war, except that the coastal cities were cleaned by artillery shells.
But this loss is actually the same as nothing to this empire, it's just a bad face.
They have a powerful army, a large population, and a vast territory, and if the navy keeps up, they're a terrible threat to any country in the world.
Gavra is different. The country is small and the population is small, which is almost doomed to have no war potential.
At the end of the war, it is the consumption and heritage of fighting the living force.
You kill me alone, and I kill you alone, whoever dies first.
This is what war looks like in a fair situation, and if you add some restrictions and advantages, it's still fighting numbers in the end.
Gavra's population is too small, and once the war ignites on the mainland, it will soon burn the entire island.
But Pengjieao is different. Even if he landed, facing the army that is clamoring for the world's largest army, as well as the huge land and huge population, it will be a disaster for any country!
So countries all over the world are closely watching Penggio. When the Pongio Empire sent a search and rescue team to conduct a search under the pretext of "a nobleman missing in the Legavis Islands", the whole world was nervous. up.
In the Commonwealth, some media outlets clamored for horrific rhetoric about the advent of World War II and grabbed the attention of viewers.
The Federal Ministry of Defense entered the second-level alert state for the first time, which was already the highest alert state in non-war time.
If you enter the red alert, then it means that the real war is coming.
At the same time, Gavra's diplomatic ambassador met with Mr. Truman overnight, and talked about His Majesty the Emperor Gavra and His Excellency the Prime Minister's thoughts and determination to join hands with the Baylor Federation to maintain world peace.
It is only the end of August, the proud sun hangs in the sky and shoots heat to the ground, but people don't feel warmth, only chills!
"The Legavs Islands are about 600 kilometers east of Nagalil. If they choose to rush forward, they can enter the easternmost part of Nagalil in at most three weeks."
In the conference hall of Bupen Associates, people look at a giant map projection that hangs, the latest in office technology.
The way they used to play movies is used in the office, and I have to say that this provides a good prop for multi-person meetings.
Mr. Geruno also came in person, and he couldn't take it as a small matter.
Nagalil provided him with a steady supply of goods, and because of Nagalil's appearance, his industry began to upgrade.
Those Nagalilians don't mind being slaves, of course they're not after consumable slaves, but advanced toys~IndoMTL.com~ This also allows them to better find out who is willing to They cooperated and carried out various trainings. It is said that they have secretly established a slave academy in Nagalil to send all kinds of slaves to the underground world all over the world.
These things are not just money, but connections and power!
People who were explaining the situation also made people aware of the seriousness of the problem. There were also some retired officers and military advisers on the scene.
Mr. Geruno asked a question, "Are they going to leave?"
He is very elegant, more like an aristocrat than an aristocrat. Money and power have nurtured his "aristocratic" temperament, and every movement is elegant.
"I mean, when they get what they want, will they leave?"
He didn't say friction, he didn't say temptation, he just said "what they want". Now that he doesn't know the specific situation, it is difficult for him to give an exact goal, which may lead to misjudgment.
A military advisor shook his head, "Mr. Geruno, if you had a conflict with your opponent and accidentally discovered that your opponent was weaker than you thought, would you let him go?"
