Mage Joan

In the nineteen years of living in the world, Qiao An faced such torture time and time again. Her soul was pushed into the gap between these two grinding discs called "emotion" and "morality", and was crushed to blood. , Fragmented.

Her mentor, Professor Moriarty, once pointed out sharply that the question of "helping rationale or helping relatives" is precisely the concentrated expression of human weakness, unless you completely abandon your identity as a human being and draw a clear line with your relatives, friends and compatriots. Otherwise, in the end, you can only choose to "help your relatives and ignore them." The difference lies in the degree of degree.

Qiao An remembers that his instructor also said that "helping relatives and not helping others" is the common nature of mankind. It is based on this nature that mankind can unite and create a glorious civilization that makes other more talented races sigh. It is also limited by this nature that sooner or later human civilization will be destroyed in the hands of mankind.

The more advanced the society and the more developed the civilization, the greater the harm of "helping relatives but not helping others". Today, this human weakness has bred a monster called "racism" and is creating another more terrifying monster, the so-called "identity politics".

From gender to race, to ethnicity, to clan, human identities are always infinitely separable, and even the brothers and sisters of a female compatriot are also distant and close.

If "helping relatives and not reasoning" is pushed to the extreme, and everything is based on the relationship between relatives and estrangements, sooner or later, human society will be torn apart into scattered sand where no consensus can be reached.

Qiao An didn't want to fall into such a quagmire, so she chose to exile herself, temporarily abandoning her human identity, and examine the disputes in the world from the perspective of an outsider.

This kind of attempt is beneficial, although it cannot be completely objective and neutral, at least it is more sober than when the predecessor was in the game and looked at the problem more comprehensively.

For example, the "Declaration of Independence" issued at the closing ceremony of the Second Continental Congress on May 4, 1626, Qiao An once only regarded it as a revolutionary message inspiring the people of the New World to rise up against the oppression of the sovereign state. A broader perspective re-examined the timing of the "Declaration of Independence" and the stated position, only to realize that this declaration actually has a specific diplomatic intent.

The leaders of the "Continental Conference" knew very well that they could not do without foreign aid if they wanted to win. If they had an ambiguous attitude and left room to shake hands with the Feizhen Kingdom, no old world power would truly help them. One hand.

The publication of the "Declaration of Independence" completely cut off the retreat of the three colonies on the east coast of the New World, and it is impossible to plunge into the embrace of the sovereign state again.

The "Continental Conference", which was on the world stage as an independent regime, also used this declaration to declare to the world that they are ready to conclude diplomatic relations with countries hostile to Fiji, establish alliances, and strive for assistance. After all, the enemy’s enemy should become friend.

As the highest authority of a new regime, the "Continental Conference" has shown two completely different "faces" on the two issues of domestic military construction and seeking foreign aid.

Internally, there were countless fierce disputes between representatives from different colonies over whether to establish a unified "Continental Army", how to recruit soldiers and apportion military expenditures, and they failed to come up with a single issue until the conclusion of the Second Continental Congress. A comprehensive plan for managing the army is said to be a mess and all praise them.

The Continental Congress has many difficulties, but is it really impossible to recruit patriotic youths who are willing to serve?

Of course not.

In this turbulent summer of 1626, from Jotunheim to Midgard, and then to Alfheim, the wave of independence revolution swept across the east coast of the New World, especially among young people. Armed fighting against oppression from the sovereign state has become It is widely agreed that there are tens of thousands of passionate young people who are actively participating in the army!

This can be seen from the militias in each colony. Take Delin Town as an example. The population has just exceeded 10,000, and there are 1,000 militiamen!

This situation is not an exception. The three colonies in the New World, conservatively estimated that the total number of local militias is not less than 300,000, but as a regular army, how many soldiers have been recruited so far?

Less than thirty thousand.

Less than one-tenth of the national militia, and most of them are local militias in Jotunheim, soldiers from the south, and most of them are enthusiastic young people who come to join the army with their own dry food.

Instead of actively mobilizing the people of the whole country to unite as one, the "Continental Conference" sent troops and food to fight against the suzerain country, but it dragged its feet everywhere and played a counterproductive effect.

The essence is that the "Continental Conference" itself cannot achieve unity.

In particular, the representatives of public opinion in Midgard and Alfheim, instead of sending troops and paying for the war, they are more worried about the safety of their own three-acre land, so they would rather recruit more militiamen to protect their hometown, as for the raging Yodon Sea. M... That's the trouble of "Gringo" and "Yankee". What does it have to do with our township?

With regard to the efficiency of military building and war preparations, what "independent revolution" is there to talk about? It is no wonder that Earl Winthrop publicly made the following comments on this group of "anti-thief" in an interview with the "Jordonheim News":

"The mud can't support the wall!"

In fact, we can't blame the "Continental Conference" for its inefficient administration. The representatives of the people's opinion are all outstanding men of this era. Don't they want to unite in the war?

Of course, I can't do it.

Because they are representatives of "public opinion", the mainstream southern people they represent have such an attitude. Whoever dares to go against the wishes of the local gentry will not choose him as the representative of the conference next time!

The preparations for the internal conscription have been messy, and if you want to win the well-equipped and well-trained real ruler, what can be done?

There is only one way, which is to "hold the thigh" and seek foreign aid.

It has to be said that the representatives of the Continental Congress have been united as never before on the issue of seeking foreign aid, and their efficiency is extremely high!

On the last day of Qiao'an at Midgard University, he heard Mr. Franklin, the old dean, talk about the diplomatic measures of the Continental Congress, such as the establishment of a "Foreign Affairs Committee" aimed at seeking support from foreign friends, and to provide advice to all members of the Varese world. The great powers sent envoys to spare no effort to fight for the countries to send troops and money to help the revolutionaries of the New World fight against the Feizhen Kingdom.

Judging from the follow-up news, the "foreign friends" with high hopes from the Continental Congress generally reacted coldly, greatly disappointing the revolutionaries waiting for military assistance.

Of course, there are factors that the Feizhen authorities intervened. At the same time that the Continental Congress sought foreign aid, the Fichen authorities were also actively engaged in diplomatic activities in order to clear obstacles to suppress the colonial rebellion.
