Chapter 265: The Helpless Three Shadows
In the conference hall of a fortress in the Land of Iron, Tsuchikage Onoki, Thunderkage Ai, and Mizukage Terumi sat together with the samurai leader Mifune of the Iron Country and their guards.
The venue is the venue of the Five Shadows Conference, but there are only three shadows left, the Wind Shadow and the Hokage have long been history, and now Konoha Village, Yuyin Village, Sand Hidden Village, and the Youth Team have been reorganized into the Ninja Revolutionary League, and the leader is no longer called Shadow, but the Transitional Prime Minister.
Ninjas are very good at gathering intelligence, and they also attach great importance to intelligence work, and the latest movements of the Ninja Revolution Federation, Shadow of the Three Villages, are well aware.
This is mainly because the Ninja Revolution Federation did not block the news, and it did not even exclude the ninja media reporters from accompanying the army to cover the news, and the military action to occupy the Fire Country and the Wind Country was to inform the entire ninja world: The Ninja Revolution Federation is coming!
The purpose of this was to assert force and show strength, so that the rotten lords of the household would see the reality and persuade them not to resist stubbornly, lest they lose their lives.
"This time, the Daimyo's financial aid to the various ninja villages is not insignificant, many ministers have sold their family antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the war taxes of various countries have also been collected in advance for twenty years, and the rations of the people have been requisitioned, which can be described as ruining the family and relieving the hardship."
Mifune said with a serious face: "Everyone, the ninja world has reached the autumn of endangering survival, and I ask you to fight hard to kill the enemy, and you must exterminate the ninja revolution gang!" We are about to form a coalition army, and the first item on the agenda of this council is to elect the commander of the coalition army, and I also ask you to recommend yourself and take on the great responsibility. ”
Onoki, Ai, and Terumi glanced at each other, but no one took the initiative to talk.
In the original plot, in order to compete for the position of commander of the coalition forces, the participating actors used their own means and almost fought, but this time they were all muffled, and no one was willing to stand up for the thunder.
Mifune waited for a while, and found that no one took the initiative to recommend himself, so he reprimanded angrily: "Gentlemen, when is this coming?" If the country of earth, the country of water, and the country of thunder are all captured by the Ninja Revolution Federation like the country of wind and the country of fire, there will be no more aid in the future, how can your ninja village survive? ”
Terumi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Mifune-sama, I am a female streamer, and I am short-sighted, and it must be difficult to convince the public even if I become a commander, so let's ask Lord Thunder Shadow, who is extremely brave, and Lord Tsuchikage, who is highly respected, to take on this important responsibility." ”
Tsuchikage Onoki hugged his arms, glanced at Lei Ying Ai, and pretended to be modest and said: "The old man is old, and the back injury he suffered in the last ninja war has not healed, and now he will have back pain if he sits for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, Mifune-sama should ask another master." ”
Mifune looked at Lei Ying Ai and said eagerly: "Lord Lei Ying, it seems that you are the best candidate for the commander of the coalition forces, please see that Yunyin Village has been deeply favored by the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder for decades, don't shirk it, and then please formulate a combat strategy." ”
Lei Ying Ai was furious, smashed the conference table in front of him with his fist, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Let me be the commander of this coalition army, is it planning to force our Yunyin ninja army to die in front?" I can be the commander, but there is one condition, that is, the Fog Hidden Ninja Army and the Iwain Ninja Army must take the lead in attacking, and the casualty rate does not reach 50% and is not allowed to retreat! ”
"No kidding!" Onoki immediately shouted: "Our Iwain Ninja Army is good at defense, it makes no sense to stand in front, do you know the art of war, just make a big deal of nonsense here!" ”
Mizukage Terumi also retorted softly: "The Fog Shadow Village has been weak for a long time, and the military strength is weak, and besides, the Fog Shadow ninjas are good at hiding assassinations, and they are not suitable for facing the enemy head-on at all, so please consider it carefully!" ”
"Lord Thunder Shadow!" Mifune also persuaded: "Of the three major ninja villages today, only Yunyin Village suffered the least damage in the last ninja world war, and the military strength is the strongest, if we are defeated in this ninja world war, the big furniture is powder, and no one can survive, so don't just worry about the casualties of the ninjas in this village!" ”
Lei Ying Ai narrowed his eyes and said hatefully, "Now you know it's not good?" Now begging us to protect the ninja country? Then why didn't you give us money in these two years? The daimyo sit back and watch Konoha and the youth team accumulate strength, but they are weakening our three major ninja villages, now let us fight with the army of the Ninja Revolutionary Federation, what will we fight? ”
Mifune looked embarrassed, but tried his best to justify: "The bandit leader Naruto kidnapped the daimyo of the five countries, and in the first year, the ministers of the various ninja countries still had the expectation of wanting to save the daimyo lords, and tried to communicate with the junior team, promising to redeem the daimyo with a heavy amount of money, and your financial aid back then was handed over to the junior team as ransom. I never thought that Naruto Uzumaki was a person who had no faith, and he refused to let him go after accepting the money, which really played a trick on the ministers of various countries! ”
Naruto received a large ransom from the five major ninja countries, but refused to return it to the daimyo, in fact, it was also a plan to weaken the ninja village, on the one hand, to squeeze out the treasury of the ninja country, and on the other hand, to paralyze the minister, thinking that the youth team was just trying to make money, giving them a little hope, and delaying their time to choose a new daimyo.
This trick is exactly what Naruto learned from the history books of the Dragon Country, the Spanish adventurer Pizarro imprisoned the Inca king Atajualpa and demanded that the Inca Empire pay a ransom of gold and silver that could fill the prison cell, and the loyal ministers of the Inca Empire emptied the treasury and scraped together more than a thousand tons of gold and silver, but still did not redeem the king, but made the country weaker, and the Inca Empire, with 80,000 elite soldiers, was conquered by 169 Spanish colonial troops!
Naruto's hand was really despicable, but it was very effective, delaying the five major ninja countries for more than a year, and squeezing out the ninja country's treasury, so that it was impossible to give financial aid to the Ninja Village, which weakened the Ninja Village's combat power in disguise.
Mifune said bitterly: "In the second year, the ministers came to their senses and made up their minds not to rescue the old master, but to choose a new daimyo, during which the country was turbulent and the political strife was extremely fierce, and it was impossible to raise enough financial aid to provide the ninja village, which cannot be blamed on the ninja country, it is entirely because the bandit leader is too cunning and shameless!" ”
There has always been this kind of problem in feudal countries, the imperial power is concentrated in one person, if the emperor's family is taken into a nest, the country will suddenly fall into chaos and division, even if the fleeing side royal family set up a small court, there will be many internal contradictions, unable to form a joint force, the country will only become weaker and weaker, and its demise is a foregone conclusion.
Comparatively speaking, in a presidential system, when the president dies, the vice president is on top, the vice president is dead, the speaker of the House of Representatives is on top, the speaker of the House of Representatives is dead, the president of the Senate is on top, the Senate and the House of Representatives are all reimbursed, and the secretary of state succeeds him.
The ninja country daimyo system pursued by the ninja world is actually very fragile, and it is easy for a super shadow-level ninja with strong individual strength to kill the daimyo family, and weaken the ninja country by assassinating the daimyo family, thereby indirectly weakening the ninja village, and can make the five major ninja villages collapse due to lack of financial aid in more than ten years.
However, I don't know why, super shadow-level ninjas like Obito, Madara Uchiha, and Rokudo Payne who are bent on making trouble selectively ignore the daimyo, and are bent on avoiding the easy and the difficult, bullying the hard and afraid of the soft, and specifically opposing the ninja village with extraordinary combat effectiveness, and not knowing how to use the strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle to blackmail the daimyo to order the ninja world.
If the five ninja kingdoms are politically turbulent and the economy collapses, the fourth ninja war in the original plot can't be fought, the major ninja villages can't even raise military funds, and the ninjas usually can't eat enough, so how can they have the strength to fight, and they can't starve half-dead and obediently lie at home waiting to be tied to the branches of the god tree summoned by the infinite moon reading and dream.
Probably, it's either too upright, or it's a loss of no culture.
