Chapter Eighty-Three: Militarism
The so-called militarism refers to the ideological and political system of advocating force and military expansion, taking reckless military force and aggressive expansion as the foundation of the country, completely placing the country under military control, and making all aspects of the country's life, such as politics, economy, culture, and education, serve the expansion of arms and foreign wars. Both Germany and Japan on the eve of World War II were typical of militaristic states. Fascism is the extreme manifestation of militarism in times of total crisis in these countries.
Militarism is full of cruelty and reaction, and has brought great disasters to mankind. Its basic theories include the denial of peace, the insistence that war is inevitable, and even the belief that war itself is beautiful and fascinating. The act of militarism is embodied in the militarization of all aspects of a country's political, economic and social life, as well as the pursuit of a policy of aggression and expansion abroad. In a militaristic state, war becomes the main purpose of the state. The survival and development of the country mainly depends on foreign plunder and expansion.

The prestige brought by defeating the bald eagle and intimidating the countries of the "gospel" continent is undoubtedly huge, but there is also a downside. Skaul was promoted to the hero level, but Qingyi could not find someone of the same weight to balance him, resulting in the current Dusk Empire has a serious militarization tendency: the Joint Research Center is constantly developing armaments and transforming soldiers; All cities were heavily conscripted, even patrols were 'drawn' away, and financial allocations were channelled to the military, resulting in delays in the renovation of the "waiting city". Clearly, the Empire of Twilight is slowly transforming into a militarist state.
In response to this situation, Brian met Qingyi alone, and his tone was solemn: "Your Majesty, we are slipping farther and farther into the dangerous abyss. ”
"Do you think we're going to be ruthless?" Qingyi said with a smile: "Most of the Necromantic Empires in history are like this, and since we have established the Necromantic Empire, it is inevitable that we will not be able to." ”
"Those empires have collapsed, and we can't afford to repeat them."
Qingyi: "We are the opposite of living beings, and if we want to protect ourselves, we must fight." ”
I disagree. Your Majesty, necromantic creatures do not appear out of thin air, but evolve from living beings. Every necromantic creature with a mind retains memories of its lifetime, as well as feelings for its family. Brian insisted: "Since the thinking is similar, the dead and the living can get along amicably." ”
"Thinking is almost the same, it doesn't mean that the worldview is the same, some things have changed, they have changed. Will the creatures agree to be friendly with us? Qingyi asked.
"It is true that living beings have the right to war, but we also have the right to sue for peace. If you can, let me take charge of foreign affairs and let me check and balance General Scowl. ”
Qingyi groaned for a while and waved his hand: "Let me think about it again." ”
Brian, however, remained where he was, with no intention of leaving. Qingyi snorted and raised his voice slightly: "Do you have anything else?" ”
"Your Majesty, I still say the same thing, please let me be in charge of foreign affairs."
"Oscoll and Clavisol have always been in charge of external affairs, and you can just take care of the joint research center." Qingyi had already finished speaking, but when he saw that his subordinates were motionless, he said, "Brian, are you 'forced' me?" He didn't say it too loudly, but the wall lamps in the city lord's mansion were all extinguished. The chamber was plunged into deep darkness, and only the eyes of the king burned.
After a while, Qingyi sighed. With a sigh, the soul fires dared to light up and continue to illuminate. He smiled wryly and shook his head: "I agreed." From now on, Scowl is the marshal, and you are the prime minister. The life professions are all under your management and dispatch, while the combat professionals follow Skoll, and the city defense and defense are taken care of by the two of you. Still, Steward Jon and Perce were at my disposal. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Brian bowed very measuredly, and his voice was faint: "You must understand that I am for the sake of the empire, not for my personal 'selfish' interests. ”
"I know that. Of my subordinates, only you can check and balance Scowl, but ...... Can't you be tactful in your request? I'm your sovereign too! Qingyi scolded with a smile.
Brian smiled, that's all. Although the request was approved, and even though Qingyi still joked with him, he still remained quiet for ten thousand years, like a pool of water that could not be "waved" slightly. He said goodbye to Qingyi and left the council hall.
"It looks like he's on his mind." Xue Duo's black 'colored' human form jumped out and said with an expert's mouth.
"I can't always guess him. Could it be that he is a 'chess player'? Qingyi shrugged helplessly, and suddenly jumped up: "Wait, Brian! ”
He called his subordinates and went to the joint research center together, because he had something to 'give' to his subordinates to study. He also got a taste of riding a Skyweb spider. The Skyweb Spiders are very precise in their movements, always finding the shortest path between two points, and even if they meet each other on a narrow road, it will not cause any surprises, because one of them will jump up in an instant, temporarily using the wall as a path. Under the coordination of the 'spirit' network, they are more efficient than any other mount, but only within the city, of course.
At the urging of the king, all the backbone of life and occupation came to the basement and started a scientific research meeting. Fermat, Walter 'Bo'le, Strom, Patra and a few new faces took their seats. Feeling that people were almost here, Qingyi opened the storage bag and took out a large handful of diamonds. The diamond refracts the firelight into patches of light, illuminating the conference room in patches of crystal blue.
"What is this?" The backbone couldn't help but sigh, of course, this kind of exclamation is completely different from the exclamation of the 'woman'.
"The 'compound eye diamond' is only produced on the Sky Jumping Worm, and it is hard enough to 'hole' through space." Qingyi was satisfied with everyone's reaction, which made him feel that it was worth it to be abused in the dungeon.
"You've fought otherworldly creatures! Your Majesty, give me this thing, and I can set up a spatial magic array in every city to achieve instant teleportation. A subordinate of the 'refined' magic array said, and the reason was 'quite sufficient': "If you look at the entire continent, there is no teleportation array in our Dusk Empire!" ”
"Your Majesty, I can make equipment with spatial characteristics!" Fermat slapped the table and yelled, almost knocking the diamond to the ground, "Any class can teleport, how about it?" ”
"Aging can fold the space and expand the interior of the building without changing the layout of the building, which can be about two to three times larger." Master Patra said unhurriedly. He is an old senior, so naturally it is impossible to grab things with a group of young people, so it is too cheap.
"I'll take another look, hehe." Strom waved his hand. This thing is not suitable for him, but it doesn't matter, he knows that His Majesty's good things will not be taken out all at once.
Then Qingyi took out a prism, it was one meter long, and as soon as it was taken out, it folded out a cold 'color' rainbow. At this time, all the backbones lost their temper.
Triangular Diamond: Produced in the body of a triangular worm, it can 'empathize' all light with almost no loss, can also open a constant spatial channel, and has many incredible uses. It can be used as a raw material for alchemy, medicine, forging, enchantment, etc., and can be used as a casting material for space magic, light magic, and illusion magic in combat occupations.
As soon as these prisms came out, the pile of "compound eye diamonds" just now immediately depreciated to the country of Java! Many backbones are also accustomed to seeing good things in the joint scientific research center, and at this time, their eyes are shining with blue light, and if a living person goes through the wrong 'door', they must not be scared to death. However, surprises came one after another, and Qingyi felt that everyone's mood was not high enough, so he took out the rest of the things without reservation.
Traceless Black Cloth: The only part of Shadow Fiend's body that remains, it has less friction than silk, but is very tough. It can be used as a raw material for alchemy, medicine, forging, enchantment, etc., and can be used as a casting material for the shadow magic of the combat profession.
Acid Crystal: Only produced by a strong acid slime that has lived for a few years, and can change the pH of any liquid to approach 0. It can be used as a raw material for alchemy, medicine, forging, enchantment, etc.
Fusion of the spider's silk sac: Unlike ordinary spider silk, the fusion of spider's silk thread minimizes rejection in the organism's body, and has a miraculous effect on all wounds. It can be used as a raw material for alchemy, medicine, forging, enchantment, etc.
Otherworldly Dragon's Crystal: This crystal stores all of the Dragon's memories and can be used to study the cause of its crash. It can be used as a raw material for alchemy, medicine, forging, enchantment, etc., and can be used as a casting material for dragon knights and soul mages in combat professions.
Gravity Core: It continuously affects its surroundings and is the power of the 'tide' octopus. It can be used as a raw material for alchemy, medicine, forging, enchantment, etc.
When the last black 'colored' sphere was taken out, all the backbones felt their bodies sink, and the room suddenly resounded with a creaking sound, and even the steel beams trembled under the doubling gravity. Qingyi shook the thing for a moment and quickly stuffed it back into the storage bag, at which time everyone scrambled to express their opinions, and they all rushed up and swept everything directly back to their own laboratory.
"Hey, Walter 'Bo'le, why don't you speak?" Qingyi looked at the only person who kept quiet, it was a little strange.
"Boss, I'm just an animal trainer, and these things don't work for me. But......" Walter 'Bo' looked directly into Qingyi's eyes and threw this sentence out very hard: "I want to put these things into the transformation of 'Embryo Body No. 3', please allocate some of them to me." ”
Qingyi was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" Can it be transformed? ”
Strom nodded: "Yes, we have also had several internal discussions about the embryonic body, it is still in a stage of growth, and what needs to be accumulated is not combat experience, but materials that can change its physique." A few days ago, we also made an estimate that as long as special materials are provided, the bottleneck can be broken and the embryo body can evolve into a new shape. But those materials are very difficult to handle, and one of them is your 'despicable blood', Your Majesty. The materials provided by these otherworldly creatures are very new, and not only can they replace some of the materials that were originally missing, but they may also achieve greater results than expected! ”
The rest of the backbone all agreed: "We can give the materials to the biological weapons team." ”
"Boss, please give it a chance!" Walter 'Bo' clenched his fists. After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to see Yi's expression clearly, but just lowered his head and waited for an answer. Suddenly, he heard a sentence:
"Would 'Embryo Body 3' be willing?"
Walter Bohler quickly looked up. He could swear to God, he had made countless conjectures about his boss's words, and only this one was unexpected. After a while, he woke up and exclaimed, "It's so willing!" ”
"Then let's try it."
From beginning to end, Qingyi did not ask "whether there is a risk", "how much materials and funds will be 'spent'", or "how will it help the war". He just took out more special materials from the storage bag and said, "Fortunately, the black 'color' is sharp and generous enough, otherwise you would definitely have an opinion."
