Chapter 402: Isolation (I)
After all, there is still a distance between the affairs of the front line and the world of ordinary people, and I only hear about it from newspapers and other people's words, and I never know the essentials. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info And the empire has been so many years, even when the war really broke out, they don't report much about the war. The incident at the Vethya Fortress is also a rare occurrence in hundreds of years, and the reports of the situation there have been all looted by the liberation of the Holy Lance.
Just as he said in that stack of documents, the battle line and the empire were actually geographically separated, and there was no one living on the edge of the battle line, and even the roads in the past were guarded by soldiers all year round. The form of the battle line is somewhat similar to that of Brino, with the presence of giant machines that are not common in the ordinary world, and the giant concrete and steel levels built at the waist of the wide avenue.
Perhaps on the one hand, because of the protection of the interior of the empire, there must always be a distinction between areas where artillery fire can really occur at any time and where people live. On the other hand, it may also be convenient for the imperial military to supervise its own internal strength. Countless transactions are taking place in the dark world all the time, and some of the weapons and equipment inside, especially those related to various types of war machinery, are mostly from the Imperial military. There is also the largest number of guns and ammunition traded in the black market, without the credit of the Imperial military, only relying on the production volume of the Empire's internal workshops, in addition to those products of substandard quality and low price, ammunition that has always been regarded as standardized will not satisfy the huge appetite of everyone within the Empire.
And the way to sell ammunition is not only in the dark world of the empire, in the time when there is no war, the friction between the three giant countries on the Houxiang continent is not hot, and this state cannot meet the requirements of some people who want to earn enough pocket money or get their capital back. In peacetime, it is not easy to climb to the top of the pyramid and touch the core interests of the four forces of the empire. Many people will shift their minds and the direction of making high profits to other countries other than these three mega-states, which are small countries that survive in the cracks. Most of their locations are in areas known as post-phase continental leftovers. Resources are by no means abundant, but they are not barren either, at least enough to feed everyone in a small country.
The distribution of these countries is mostly concentrated in the extreme west and the extreme east of the latter continent, and there is hardly a time when there is little stability, and every 100 years or so is the new generation of one or two countries. The countries in the extreme west region are because when the empire was expanding rapidly, the territory of the Flame Alliance blocked the way halfway, blocking the advance momentum of the empire at that time, so that the empire's feet have stopped until now. In the Far East, because of the support of the Far Sea Commons, weapons were given to the countries that were fighting against the Empire almost free of charge, and the powerful surgeons were the same, only to send their own troops on the surface, and then put on the uniforms of other countries.
When the Empire was conquered from the Houxiang Continent under the name of the Mano Kingdom to become the current Empire of St. Dorag, the Commons of the Far Sea and the Flame Alliance certainly put a lot of obstacles in it, but neither really sent their own troops to the Empire. At that time, the Left and Right Continents had been restricting each other, and they were both attracted to important things. And then there is their own self-confidence, and when they find that the momentum of the empire is not right, it is no longer possible to stop it.
When the war between the three kingdoms began, it was also after the establishment of the empire. By that time, the Avalon Institution had been in existence in the Empire for some time.
These small countries that do not belong to the scope of the three giant countries are also the largest delivery of firearms and ammunition outside of the black market within the empire itself. And not only the weapons and equipment, but also the personnel within the empire itself, can be rented or "sold" to these small countries at a clear price. It is said that they are located in the extreme east and west of the Houxiang continent, and their resources are not as rich as the other three giant countries (the difference in land area is one of the main reasons for the richness of various resources), but they themselves occupy a relatively long coastline of the Houxiang continent and many islands in the coastal waters.
In addition, the sea area where the island is located has nothing to do with the Endless Sea on the side of the Houxiang Continent, so it is a shallow sea area that is safe and reassuring. The resources are relatively abundant, which allows the countries there to survive around the three mega-countries, and because of the natural climate, they can occasionally let their lives be nourished while worrying all day long. So poverty doesn't have to be.
Because of the mutual restraint between the Empire, the Far Sea Commons, and the Flame Alliance, in the current situation, it is impossible for every giant country to swallow the only remaining small countries on this post-phase continent.
And these small countries have also learned a little experience under the torture of thousands of years, and relying on the containment relationship of the three major countries, it can be regarded as moving in the direction of living better and better. At least each of the countries that perished provided a wealth of learning material for the other countries that survived. Knowing which taboos are not to be touched, and which are once contaminated, the three mega-nations will unite against themselves.
The reason why every 100 years there are countries that die and then usher in a new life is also because of this. There are always some small countries that are unwilling to be small forever, and it will make people unhappy to look at their faces and act, let alone the rulers of those small countries.
These small countries are not monolithic, and one of the reasons is that the forces behind them are not the same. And the three big guys around him can't be provoked, but other countries that also look thin are not necessarily. The Imperial Front was a long section away from these small countries, and some of the military's supplies and ammunition were sold to these countries by high-ranking officers in the army. Profits are almost a no-cost transaction. Because the equipment was distributed to the front by the Empire, all the officers had to do was find a suitable reason for the ammunition to be "used" or "destroyed by the enemy's army".
In fact, the imperial military will definitely have its own supervision department, and there will be the same form of organization within any force. The eyes of senior managers are not tolerant of clutter, they also come up step by step from below, and it is difficult to say that they will not be exposed to this part of the matter in the long years of their lives. But they have to make sure that a proper measure is in it, and that these rotten parts don't destroy the whole healthy body. That's why the major forces have the habit of cleaning themselves up every once in a while. Lesions can be present, but they must be the ones that heal on their own.
Of course, staying healthy all the time is something that all those in power want to see.
However, even if the military has a supervision department, because the peace time on the front is long, the front itself is huge. And such a thing is not done by the high-ranking officers of one country in the empire. So 、、、 things sometimes happen like this, benefits and money know no borders, even if each country's currency is different, but no matter where you spend it, the final benefit seems to be your own.
