Chapter 456: The Corn Law Incident!
Adolf said goodbye to Ross. He didn't expect that after so many years, he was still so naive.
It was a big joke to persuade the Empire to end the war.
In the next few years, the Empire began to intensify. With the advancement of technology, the speed of war began to accelerate.
The country of 005 was quickly hit hard. On the night when the Empire and the staff were preparing to set up a celebration banquet, an accident happened.
The Frost King, led by the Eastern countries, formed an anti-Imperial Alliance.
The ten countries in the East united together to form the Allied Powers and directly sentenced the Empire to death.
However, a dramatic scene appeared.
After the ten countries declared war on the Empire, the first battle broke out in the country of 005, and the coalition forces of the ten countries were actually hit hard.
They imitated the Empire and used the model of the staff. As a result, the Empire launched espionage activities and launched information theft and tactical strikes against the enemy's staff.
The staff plan proposed by the Empire was overturned by the Empire itself.
The Empire also launched a hot war in the same year. Missiles were brought to the battlefield. The war lasted for eight years, and nearly one million shells were directly brought to the battlefield.
The World War is coming.
The 275th year of the Imperial Calendar.
The war lasted for nearly 30 years. As various inhumane means were used, the number of casualties in the war began to rise sharply.
In just 30 years, a total of 2.85 million people died on the Outer Sea Continent. Rare children would be thrown into the battlefield as soon as they were born. Under the bombardment of hot weapons, the battlefield became a hell on earth.
And the number of casualties is still increasing.
From poison gas and biological attacks to artillery bombings, and airships combined bombing, the Empire has dispatched no less than 180 artifacts.
Until the 280th year of the Imperial Calendar.
An accident happened, and Orochi officially took action.
009 has artifacts, and he has them too.
After that, the True Ancestor joined the war and began to compete with 009 for air supremacy.
The main ground forces of the Frost King began to exert their strength. Except for the soldiers who were blown into pieces, all the bodies with intact limbs all crawled up and joined the battle.
In the end, the East merged the armies of a total of fifteen countries.
The empire was kicked off the altar at the critical moment when it was about to unify the outer sea continent.
The coalition of fifteen countries was about to destroy the empire in one fell swoop!
But it was at this time that 009 gritted his teeth and began to break the jar. He first killed the Rat King, gathered three crowns, and then began to negotiate with various countries!
With three crowns in hand, he will be able to launch a natural disaster. Whoever dares to take a step forward, he will directly use the power of the natural disaster to drag a country to death together!
But the Frost King didn't buy it at all, and asked 009 to release the natural disaster to kill himself.
009 naturally couldn't release the natural disaster, because only if the natural disaster remained in his hand could all sequences be afraid.
Once he used it, other countries would not be afraid of him, and they would rush to share 009 and others.
In the 281st year of the Imperial Calendar, the war ended.
As a result of the war, the Empire ceded 64% of its land and made the defeated Empire sign a humiliating treaty.
The Empire could not form an army, but only a self-defense force. The people of the Empire could not cross the border. If the Empire took the initiative to start a war, it would be attacked by all countries again.
At the same time, the most shocking thing was the reparations that the Empire paid to the victorious countries. The amount of reparations had reached an astronomical figure, which the Empire could not repay in a hundred years.
After that, they also divided up the scientific research results of the Empire and jointly restricted the technological development of the Empire.
From then on, the military power, economic system, land area, and technological development of the Empire all plummeted.
The Empire entered its darkest hour. Except for the three crowns, they no longer had the ability to check and balance the surrounding countries.
Some people in the General Staff were labeled as war criminals, and unrest broke out in the Empire.
Especially afterwards, the North Sea Continent ushered in a decade-long drought, and the scarcity of food was pushed to the peak.
Not only the Empire, but the whole world is facing a food crisis.
There were too many people and too little food. After the war stopped, there was no good solution.
The first place where the food problem broke out was in the alliance of fifteen countries in the east.
After the fifteen countries defeated the empire, they reached an alliance and formed a long-term alliance.
But soon after, a grain crisis broke out in the alliance. The price of food rose year by year and reached the point where ordinary people could not afford it.
Soon after, the Corn Law Incident broke out in the United Nations.
Civilians in the United Nations demanded the abolition of the grain tax, which was naturally impossible and unacceptable to the landlord class.
Because this proposal was not passed, a peasant revolution broke out in the alliance in the next two years.
With the promotion of the labor movement, the royal status in the alliance began to shake.
And all of this was arranged by one person.
That person was Alos the Liar.
He proposed a strategy that could directly jump the era of the alliance.
Abolish the monarchy and enter the presidential republic.
Alos no longer had much territory, and his population was small, so his position in the alliance was precarious, so he launched a revolutionary movement in the name of strengthening the country's strength.
He let the people of his country take the lead in this movement, first killed the king he chose, and abolished the feudal idea of divine right of kings.
But as a ruler, what good does this do him?
Alos only smiled but did not speak. When the movement was launched, the citizens of other countries were influenced by him and were pulled into the revolution.
When more and more people participated in the movement, Alos began his lies.
With one sentence, he turned all these citizens who did not belong to him into his citizens.
And when other countries realized this, it was too late.
Alos made a small profit with a big investment, and it can be said that he made a fortune out of nothing, and directly transformed himself into a superpower.
"Everyone, don't look like this, look at our neighbors, in this era of feudal monarchs, we directly transformed ourselves into red, which is more than a century ahead?"
"Haven't we won?"
Yes, Alos won.
He completed the leap from monarchy to republic in the 297th year of the World Calendar.
A republic consisting of 15 countries was established.
This trend swept the entire outer sea continent, abolishing the monarchy and letting the people make the decision, which was a dimensionality reduction blow to the people of other countries.
"When my people raised their hammers and sickles, I knew I had won the game."
"I am not a god, but the leader of this country."
Aros became the leader of fifteen countries. Frost King, True Ancestor, Orochi and others remained silent.
The people are not absolutely loyal. This is the opportunity for Alos to turn the tables from the beginning.
Since there are no people, then convince people from other countries to serve him. If there is no land, let people from other countries take the initiative to give him the land!
Gods will naturally not be persuaded by Aros, but people will.
"Now, we are comrades."
