Chapter 1377 The Fate of the Empire (3rd update, please subscribe)
The virtual light screen flickered.
In just one year, the war expanded at an alarming speed, and the flames of war broke out in various regions of the world. Countries around the world were doing their best to mobilize their armies, and all factories were working hard to produce all kinds of military supplies.
On the sea, warships sank into the cold seabed amid the roar of heavy artillery, merchant ships loaded with all kinds of supplies were sunk, tens of millions of troops were fighting on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed every day.
But every day, a large number of new forces are thrown into the battlefield.
On the Suzaku Square in Nanhua, the newly mobilized soldiers were reviewing the troops. These young people, who were born and raised here, were eager for glory, military merit, and the ability to make contributions to the empire.
They cheered and headed to the port with their loved ones bidding them farewell, and then to the battlefield. The sound of military boots echoed in the streets!
"For the Empire!"
"For the Ming Dynasty!"
After the war broke out, young people joined the army enthusiastically. They did not think that the empire was expanding, but that they were defending - defending the safety of the empire! They were also defending their homes!
However, this time, they spread the war to other countries and other regions...
When will the war end?
No one knows, but one thing is certain: the war cannot end until the strength of all countries is exhausted.
The war continued to burn in the following years, all over the world, even in Southeast Asia, and almost all countries in the world were involved in this war.
For the world, this was an unprecedented war. Even China was involved in the war. They joined the war the following year and launched attacks on Burma and other places.
After all, when there's a fire in someone else's house, it's human nature to take advantage of the situation.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by the real benefits?
…
Finally the simulation is over.
"this……"
When everything was over, Emperor Zhu was stunned. He rubbed his head. This simulation made his brows furrowed into a ball, and his mood was also extremely complicated...
This time, he simulated for a full twenty years!
Of course, he simulated the end of the war. The war lasted for five years, and in the simulation the war seemed to have an end, but in fact it had no end.
Why is there no ending?
Because everything is destined - destined to be a twenty-year truce!
Although Emperor Zhu Da only simulated for 20 years, in which there was a five-year war and then 15 years of peace, the so-called peace was destined to be unsustainable because the spoils were not evenly distributed among the imperialist powers. This also means that there will still be differences and conflicts among the imperialist powers in the future. This is the potential factor for war.
"Perhaps, this is the fate of the empire!"
After everything was over, Emperor Zhu shook his head and sighed. Although there were many discrepancies between the simulation and his imagination, at least... everything was fine.
The only problem is...
Emperor Zhu said to himself as he pondered the course of the war and the changes in the battles during the simulation.
“Who would have thought that the country with the biggest variables is France?”
Yes, in any case, if there had been no simulation, Emperor Zhu would never have thought that France would be the first domino.
"It seems that we still have to think about the discount!"
While Emperor Zhu was thinking about the future of France, a servant came in to report.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the live broadcast."
"I understand."
Emperor Zhu nodded slightly, then stood up and walked towards the outer room.
Looking at the staff, Emperor Zhu nodded and said,
"Thank you for your hard work."
Then he walked into the office with the loudspeaker. Standing in front of the loudspeaker, Emperor Zhu looked at the movie camera next to him. In his mind, he thought of the sound movie camera in the mall. Well, he could take it out and bring sound movies to the world.
Thinking this in his mind, when he saw the countdown reach "0", Emperor Zhu said.
"My fellow countrymen..."
After a brief pause, Emperor Zhu spoke.
"Since the founding of the Empire, the Empire has always had a beautiful vision for the future - since friendly and peaceful coexistence with all countries has been the pursuit of the Empire in the past years... When the peace in Europe and the world is destroyed today, the Empire is willing to contribute its own little efforts to maintain world peace - peace! There is nothing more precious than peace in this world. We look forward to this view being recognized by the world. However, the opposite happened..."
The seemingly calm voice was filled with a certain desire. Was it the desire for peace? I'm afraid only God knows. At least in Emperor Zhu's speech, the Ming Empire longed for peace and called for peace.
Of course, this is just for the outside world to hear. The empire will occupy the moral high ground, peace! It's just talk.
Say the nicest words and do the most...normal things.
"... Kuwait City, the capital of the Imperial Persian Gulf Royal Territory, was attacked by the barbaric British Royal Navy, which did not abide by the laws of war. Not only were friendly ships anchored in the harbor sunk, but innocent ships of the Empire also suffered losses, and many kind crew members were killed or injured. This is absolutely not allowed. This is a shame for the Ming Empire! Since the tense situation in Europe, the Empire has sincerely hoped that all countries can resolve the problem through consultation at the negotiation table, so that the people of European countries can continue to enjoy a peaceful and happy life. However, the British, who have no morals at all, don't care about the laws of war at all, and blatantly attack the Empire's ports regardless of international public law! When the situation in Europe was tense, we kindly thought that we could We wanted to resolve international disputes through mediation, but the British brutality shattered our idea! The British wanted more than just war! They wanted to drag the whole of Europe and even the whole world into the war. Countless countries were involved in the war, and innocent people were wailing. Now, the British have wielded the butcher knife against us, the Ming Empire, in a despicable way! Under the repeated provocations of Britain, our Ming Empire can only fight back for world peace and the well-being of all mankind. From now on, the Empire will fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of the alliances that have been signed with France, the Roman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire! I have issued an order to take all measures for the defense of the Empire, that is, to enter a general mobilization under a state of war! "
The emperor's speech was transmitted via radio waves not only to the provinces within the empire, but also to overseas colonies, territories, and people all over the world who heard the decision.
People listening to the radio did not seem surprised when they heard about this decision. To them, it was all normal.
After all, the empire needs revenge!
Of course, there were also many people who were in extreme shock, especially in North America. From the White House to the public, Americans could not help but stare at the radio in a daze. At this moment, the whole world seemed to have quieted down, as if the whole world was in dead silence.
Just then music started coming from the radio.
"Rise up, great empire! Survival depends on this! Come and strike hard at the Anglo-Saxon bandits and eradicate the heinous crimes! Filled with righteous anger, stirring up huge waves! This is a sacred war for all the people. Stand up to defend the empire..."
