9. Position (5)

What does it take to create a unified multi-ethnic state?

Finance, science and technology, industry, population, land, military power, strategic planning...... And so many other essential conditions, but few would have thought about how important it is for a country to rise and expand into a great country.

Especially when the ruling class is a minority, tolerance and patience are particularly important. Under the premise that harmony has not been achieved internally, if you want to rely on very individual advantages to achieve [Eight Hong Yiyu], [Wuyun for a long time], and [the waves of thousands of miles, and the power of the country in all directions] is death.

Before World War II, Germany had the opportunity to follow the trajectory laid by Gustav Stresemann and Karl Hausshofer to run through Eastern Europe and achieve a peaceful rise, becoming one of the tripartite with the United States and the Soviet Union. It is a pity that the mustachioed corporal, who has been deified and has only known how to burn the piano and cook the crane, is eager to complete the conquest of the thousand-year-old empire in his lifetime with his narrow racism and masterful mad paranoia, and the result is that first a truly inclusive Germany is ruined, and then a fanatical Germany is led to the abyss of disaster.

Alfheim is not as chaotic as the Weimar Republic, but the irrational grievances accumulated by the elves are on par with those of the German radicals before the war.

From the fact that the lower administrative departments asked for the distribution of weapons, one can imagine how strict the elves' delusions of victimization are, and the design of the satellites that are obviously wrong with the technology tree shows the heat of the R&D department.

In terms of politics, although the conservatives and the radicals have various conflicts, they still have a common language in things like [pure-blooded purification of the world].

The moderate faction and the elven civilians in the wait-and-see state were subordinated to Li Lin's great prestige and skill. But they are not unreckless about that kind of extreme claim.

Fortunately, the current system is still a mix of a strong government and centralized power, and Li Lin's charm and authority are enough to suppress all parties who are about to move, and more importantly, he did not engage in the matter of boiling persimmon oil and electing leaders. Otherwise, populism would have swept through Alfheim. The council is all day long, and the citizens go on strike and march every day, and they can't do anything serious.

Extremist ideas are dangerous to the cohesion of the organization, on the one hand, it will have a strong stimulating effect on the members of the organization like spiritual opium, and on the other hand, it will lead the organization to become closed and introverted, and the values are divorced from reality. That is an extremely dangerous signal for an organization that acts with the goal of ultimate world domination.

There's nothing wrong with democracy, but it's a panacea for economic crises or wars. Populist democracy is the terminal stage of the cancer of group thinking, and it is basically hopeless. It erupts from within, encroaching on healthy bodies, and eventually killing the host.

Before the establishment of a relatively healthy dynastic or state socialist system, it was not unreasonable to play a little superhumanist force. But it works, it is enough. For Li Lin, that was enough.

At least you can pour some cold water on some overheated heads with an iron fist, and after making a joke about [destroying 100 million enemies, turning into victory] in the future, you can't think of using your brains to solve the problem, not using the heavenly spirit cover.

"Think long-term. This world is not only the elves, we are not going to rule one or two towns in a closed environment. As our power encompasses every corner of the world, reconciliation and coexistence of various races is also an indispensable process. If our officials, soldiers, and civilians continue to look at and deal with problems according to the standards of small groups of secret organizations, we are just repeating the folly of humans and orcs. ”

"I see what you mean, Colonel. But everyone's perception of human beings—"

"So we need an opportunity, a buffer. It can also play an exemplary role. The adoption of Roland Dahlke is to show that under our stewardship, human beings can also adapt and integrate into the new system to survive and thrive. A vivid example of dispelling all kinds of estrangement and suspicion. ”...,

"I see, the demonstration effect. ”

Brunhill understood Li Lin's idea in admiration, and it was true that the elves of Argent Toraton and humans were in a false state of peace in the same bed, but both sides did not hate the state of peace itself. After all, each has gained a lot of benefits from it, once there is a dispute, escalating into a conflict or even a war, the Agen Toraton, who has finally prospered, will be reduced to ruins in the war after two or three clicks, no matter who is only losing money and not making a profit, so humans and elves consciously and unconsciously maintain the fragile [peace].

However, this state will not last forever, there is no shortage of guys who have a hot head regardless of it, although their voices have not yet become mainstream, but there is a certain market, in case of any emergency, it is difficult to guarantee that the brain-dead voice will not become the loudest.

Therefore, a good model is needed. Declaring that in addition to suspicion, hatred, and killing, humans and elves can develop a more correct and peaceful relationship with each other, is the first step in the future to establish a legal system that regulates the coexistence of all races.

Roland is such a buffer.

Elves don't like humans, but they have subtle differences depending on age, appearance, and other factors.

Although Roland is human, his identity as a child will offset a lot of bad feelings, and his appearance is judged by the picky aesthetics of elves, and he is also a very cute boy.

If Roland is clever enough and tries to mingle with the elven children, he may be able to win the favor of the entire elven society and alleviate the elves' hostility towards humans.

"The human side will see the adoption of Roland as an indicator and realize that our bottom line is not harsh. At least there is no intention of destroying the status quo and carrying out racial persecution, and if not complete reconciliation can be achieved, at least the status quo can be maintained. ”

Following Li Lin's train of thought, Brunhill painted a future on his own that could be realized. The omnipotent colonel in the girl's eyes nodded, and said unexpected words nonchalantly.

"There are also considerations for accumulating parent-child relationship handling and family structure, after all, this is the first time I have done this kind of thing as an inexperienced person. ”

“......!!”

[Parent], [Family], [Experience], [First Time]——

Brunhill's cheeks were stained an excessively vivid red, his leafy ears were soaked in a dazzling glow of charm, and his body wrapped in military uniform was still standing straight, and if you looked closely, you could see that her delicate body was shaking with clenched fists.

【Discussion...... Why do you want to turn to the topic of life!!]

A few words shook the world in his head, Brunhill let out an inexplicable, reluctant howl, and with the screams that resounded through the blank world of thought, the flood of delusion hit the embankment of reason.

"This ...... The question is、Is it a subordinate、I、Uh、I don't know...... Field. ”

The shrewd and capable female officer has become a non-commissioned officer with an empty head, and the reserved and rigorous soldier's reserve and rigor don't know where to throw it.

"It's okay, I hope you can help with this, Major Brunhill. ”

"Yes...... Yes, I will do my best to complete this!!"

In less than a second, she finished leaning on her legs, standing upright, and saluting, and the red-faced elf girl with boiling steam faintly visible above her head rolled up a gust of wind and disappeared outside the tent.

“...... It's really motivating. ”

The dark-haired boy who doesn't understand the heart of a girl spits out the comments of the supervisor who affirms the performance, and Brunhill, who almost yells a few times under the delusion and subtle ambiguous vocabulary misunderstanding...... There was a lot of drive and excitement to do, but there was a world of difference between the difficult process of working together and the tricky work that Brunhill had handled so far. ...,

"I advise you to give up. ”

Till's relentless admonition, who had a clear understanding of the difficulties, added a few more force to his negative tone.

"That's a human child, not a dangerous cub that can be domesticated as a pet, and he won't give up revenge on the colonel when his parents are killed. As a subordinate of the colonel, you and I are also accomplices and accomplices in his eyes, and even if in fact nothing has been done, the opposing positions have been fixed and cannot be changed. ”

"I know, I said the same thing to the Colonel before. ”

"As a result, you were persuaded by the colonel to volunteer to play the role of [gentle adoptive mother], right?"

Tyr rubbed the bridge of his nose and eyebrows vigorously, and when women fell into romance and related delusions, the idea that IQ plummeted made the elven youth, who was also a major, deeply understand the profound truth behind it.

[At least hold on a little longer, the colonel is so bad just mentioning [family] and [experience], thinking about it, I'm really worried about her love and marriage.] 】

The fingers massaging the eyebrows are working harder, and worries about Brunhill's view of marriage and love are developing towards an out-of-control relationship.

"There may have been a momentary impulse, but I had carefully considered what the Colonel had said afterwards. ”

The emerald green eyes and the blue eyes of Tyr are on the same page, and the firmness of the girl's feelings without the slightest filth and girlish feelings reminds the partners of the same age of the girl's demeanor jumping in the chaotic world of the valley.

"[Seeking the glory of the Kingdom], [Reviving Gilmania], [Transforming the world] are our goals, and the Colonel leads everyone to work towards this sacred ideal, but do we know what kind of kingdom [New Gilmania] should be, and what kind of posture will we raise up come to this world?"

"Of course it'......"

As soon as the cross-examination began, it froze, and Tyr fell into a rare embarrassment, an uneasy cold sweat slid down his indescribable stiff expression, and his lips finally closed together.

The conclusion is obvious, except for Li Lin, who overlooks the overall situation from a high place, there is no spirit that jumps out of the stage indicator of [Restoration of the Kingdom] and thinks about more long-term issues. That is, what kind of system to build a country, and how to make it survive for a long time.

"We are just moving towards the signpost of [Restoration] and following the inertia. The deeper issues are ignored by us, who only have the revival of Gilmania and the revenge of the betrayer. ”

"Is it true that the colonel would have thought of a plan not to be confined to temporary gains and losses, and to adopt a human boy as a breakthrough to change the accumulated disadvantages brought about by closed ideological values? However, the risks and difficulties are still too high. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
