“I knew you were crazy, but I didn’t know you would do something like this.”
The explanation of the situation just now was given only to Lucas.
In other words, only Lucas knew that I was trying to create a human who would show favor only to me, not the emperor.
This was because even if it was just one person, the success rate increased if the match was made with a bang.
Aside from Lucas, there is almost no one who wouldn’t accuse me.
Lucas created a kind of sound barrier so that only the sound could reach me.
This is what I suggested.
Even if a saint is mobilized, the saint can only be seen from the perspective of three people.
This is because it is impossible to capture inaudible sounds.
The saint’s stigmata is the power to see the past.
It is not the power of knowing cause and effect.
“Once we have settled in. Please sit down and continue the conversation.”
In the moment we were talking, the place was completed.
These were top-of-the-line furniture made by Changje, who did his best.
Of course, the materials were good, but the design was poor.
You shouldn’t expect a design from Gongdori, though.
It was quite new to see him nervously wondering if he knew that fact.
“A long time ago… When I could still see the sky. At the time, I never thought something like this would happen.
And when I locked myself in the bird cage. I thought there would be no way for everyone to get together until the kingdom was established.”
“Humans come together if they have a common goal. Everyone has different reasons for trying to save this country. Especially since the goal of eliminating Yeon-guk is the same.”
From what you say, you haven’t even seen the sky for 300 years.
That’s amazing in its own way.
Unless you are an ultra-pure hikikomori, people would go crazy if they were stuck at home.
He did this.
Please note that there is no internet.
So, even ultra-pure hikikomori will probably not last long and commit suicide.
I was sure of that.
“Once we’re here, what we need to do is simple. I wonder if there is a better strategy.”
“Didn’t you say you have a strategy?”
“If you already know the method, your thoughts unconsciously flow in that direction. So you might miss out on a better way. I won’t say anything unless I have solid evidence that my method is the best.”
Of course, I don’t think there is any operation greater than this.
The problem is that I’m not a very smart person.
The basis of my strength is thanks to my experience in Korea and WFS’ future knowledge.
It’s not because I’m a wise and wise strategist like Zhuge Liang.
It’s always good to be humble.
“First, let’s analyze the situation. We need to think about what this country’s strengths are. You can win with something that is not your strength, but it will be much more difficult.”
“First of all, there are almost no resources left. Forests have dried up and look like fields, and rivers have become polluted and instead of reflecting the sky, they just contain wastewater.
All the rocks have broken down into soil, and the soil that still exists is so bad that it is used to kill living things, not to germinate seeds.”
“Other metals were sold out a long time ago. Even if you try to recycle the existing ones, they are so mixed that it is impossible to separate them.”
The combined results of everyone.
The country’s resources are virtually the same as they were 300 years ago.
Thanks to Kakill’s technology using corpses and sometimes plants and animals brought in from outside.
This population will be maintained.
“If there are no resources, what about skills? For us, creation is… ”
“If there is no creation, it would collapse. In the end, if you rely on just one creator, you become too politically vulnerable. When the empire puts pressure on you, just kill Emperor Chang and that’s it.”
Usually, in most countries, all you have to do is catch the leader.
The country does not end just because its leader suddenly disappears.
Even if the emperor dies, the empire will appoint another emperor.
Even if the Sword Saint dies, the empire will replace its force in other ways.
Or, if you’re super strong like a magician, there’s no problem.
If you don’t have to die, there’s almost no problem.
But Changje is not that strong.
In the end, the more we rely on him, the more politically vulnerable this country becomes.
Therefore, it is an element that must be avoided.
“What about geopolitical factors? The Commonwealth is one of the few countries whose borders border both the Empire and the Republic. There isn’t even a country around here in the same situation as us. How about using this… ?”
“It is a special element, but what are its advantages?”
“The Empire and the Republic are hostile to each other, so they rarely interact. We can do that for you. Then you can benefit from brokerage trade.”
“But in that case, both sides agree and we can just make it a satellite station. In the end, what matters is surviving and becoming strong.
If it has the status of a satellite country, it will always be forced to make sacrifices according to the interests of the home country.”
Perhaps because they all led a company, they clearly had a keen eye for insight.
What could be a problem and why is it not a strength?
I knew exactly what was happening.
however.
These smart people.
Even during this intense discussion.
No proper answer was found.
They were enthusiastic at first, but now they are tired.
It seemed like he just wanted the meeting to end.
Even Lucas.
No. He’s been like that since he came to Yeon-guk.
My friend asks me to be more serious, so I’ll be serious.
Oh, I guess I won’t. Seriously.
While thinking about trivial things, I slowly moved on.
“Really… Is there a way?”
The people here are very smart.
Insight and knowledge may be lacking compared to the imperial family or the republic government.
Pure intelligence will not decline.
And they knew that best.
In other words, they cannot find a solution even after much thought.
There is a possibility that there really is no way.
At least from their perspective.
“Now we have reached our limit. So now… Slowly… Could you please give me something else? It is a situation that makes you question whether there is a better way.”
“There is a saying that you should choose the lesser of the worst and the lesser evil, but the method is the worst. If there is only one way, it is not the worst, but the best and only hope. so… I think it would be right to give some hints soon. ”
And what arose next was doubt.
Do I really know how? disbelief.
There was nothing particularly strange.
Even though I’ve been thinking about it over and over again during the weeks I’ve been here.
Because I couldn’t find a better way.
Fortunately, that is.
“Good. Since you all seem to be lost, I’ll give you a hint.”
“Are you not going to say it right away?”
“Even though the general outline is the same, the time will be determined by the detailed route. If the trade is short, there is little room for problems, but as it lasts longer, the room for more problems increases.”
Everyone stayed quiet as if they weren’t dissatisfied with what I said.
He immediately started explaining the content.
“First of all, the situation in this country is as you know. The mystery of creation, which can be said to be its only strength, brings with it great side effects the more you rely on it.
Then you may think that this country has no strengths. However, if a country does not have strengths, it has no meaning. I can’t develop.”
This is true.
A country can only develop if it has some strengths.
“But the reason I thought development was possible here is because it has strengths. So what is that? What really makes this country special?”
“Isn’t that what we said earlier!”
Bang~
A director hit the desk hard.
It was a struggle out of frustration.
I understood that feeling.
I continued speaking without getting angry.
“You guys missed something. Even though you mentioned your strengths, you thought it wasn’t really your strengths.”
“What is that… ?”
“Created. The strength of this country is its invention.”
It really sounded like something.
I personally said with my own mouth that I would be ruined if I depended on Changje.
My strength is creation.
But some people seemed to have already noticed.
Actually, it wasn’t that difficult.
A director who noticed said this.
“What we shouldn’t rely on… It’s just a creation in the distant future. Does this mean I can rely on you now?”
“Similar. To be precise, it is enough so that it does not collapse unilaterally even if there is no creation later. Not using the power of creation is inefficient.”
If something is too good, you become dependent on it.
Oil-producing countries are examples.
It would be foolish not to take advantage of a developing situation.
But then you will become dependent on it.
“Once infrastructure is built, it will continue to be used through the power of creation. Production materials can be produced by reverse engineering what the creator provides.”
“Then, even if there is no creation… ”
“The factory will never stop.”
It’s really simple.
However, it was also a reason that was difficult to remember.
because…
This method…
“But we don’t have the resources… ”
“Resources, mystery, technology… There’s nothing you can use. however… This country is truly coming back to life… Is it a win?”
This is because it is difficult to reproduce in this resource-poor country.
It’s not like they can’t think of that.
You just thought it was impossible.
“It is possible.”
But this is possible.
Although others looked at him with suspicion.
I know.
There was a similar country a long time ago.
Before I was even born, the country went through a huge disaster and was left with nothing.
In the meantime, a disaster struck again and everything in the country was reduced to ashes.
I had nothing and no resources.
It was a country without any strengths.
“Please say that again. This country without me. This country has no resources, no technology, and no mystery… How can you survive?”
Resources too.
Technology too.
system too.
organization chart.
A country without even magic.
However, this is a country that has succeeded in getting up.
“It is possible. I know of one case.”
A country that my ancient ancestors tenaciously protected.
A country located on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia.
A country that has succeeded in becoming a regional power without any resources.
And my home country.
korea.
“So you just have to follow.”
I have an example from my home country.
It will happen again in this country.
