I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

After taking a sip of juice, she said, "This system is generally wrong. But we can only do this much due to the limitations of the times."

“Although it is not perfect and has many fatal problems, it is the optimal solution within a century and will completely eliminate large-scale wars and usher in a period of peace. And this century is the buffer period we have gained to find new methods.”

Kate subconsciously asked back: "What if we don't find it in this century?"

Medea smiled upon hearing this: "The alliance will probably become the most terrifying dragon in history. Even I can't guarantee that I can defeat it~"

Chapter 328 Open Door, Free Trade!

"Why is it possible that the Alliance could become a dragon that even Medea can't handle?"

To Kate, Medea's answer was too fantastic. This country was founded by her. She had personally influenced every field. Her presence was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and was the spiritual haven of most of the citizens.

No matter how you look at it, her influence on this country is deep-rooted.

Medea did not answer her doubts directly, but started from the beginning:

"What is the essence of international relations? Struggle between nations? No, it is natural anarchy, that is, war of all against all."

"In the history of the wizarding world, there have been various systems that aim to maintain peace, such as diplomatic mediation between countries and ensuring peace through the balance of power between countries. But this is meaningless, because once the balance of power is broken, the war will start on time."

“But now there is a turning point.”

In the dark tower, Medea held Kate in her arms and walked up the spiral stone staircase step by step: "That's what I mean by globalization."

"Now let me ask you, how do you think the borders of the empires of Mantogle, Britian, Wallis, etc. were established?"

Kate answered in a series of questions: "Force? Language and culture, national identity? God? Church intervention?"

Mitia shook her head in denial: "It is a common market and a customs union."

"God and the church cannot intervene in such abstract concepts, or this aspect is also beneficial to them. Their intervention is to expand this market unconsciously or consciously."

"This market will earn them more profits together, and it can also prevent other countries and nations from making profits in this market through market regulation. The more profits and the better living environment, the higher the happiness index of the people, and the more loyal they will be to God and the church."

"Each kingdom and empire is a closed market like this, and they all want to expand it, so wars always come, and it continues in an endless cycle."

"Even if there is no alliance, due to the sharp contradictions between the closed markets, fierce wars will break out among them until one side completely takes over the resources of the other side."

"However, if we can break down these trade barriers formed by various countries and allow goods to circulate freely in a global market, then just like the empires created by these markets, a world government that transcends the concept of ordinary countries is entirely conceivable."

"That's why one of our biggest demands on the Allies is called the Open Door Policy."

"Our ultimate goal in the first phase is not free trade, and it never will be. Instead, it is to become the absolute leader of this new world government through the 'free trade' market formed by the 'open door'!"

Medea stood on a tall tower, overlooking the ruined city below. The fierce cold wind from the sky carried snowflakes that fluttered at her pretty face:

"History, whether it was a kingdom or an empire, their vision for the future was nothing more than a bigger and stronger self, a bigger Wallis Empire, a bigger Britian."

"But the world I envision has no borders. Wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the rivers flow, it is the king's land."

"This is a great opportunity. In terms of military strength, we are the world's largest arsenal."

"In terms of economy, we have a firm grip on the lifeline of all countries that can be reached by railroads."

"In terms of impact, we can already decide at will when, where, and how this war ends."

"Now, the only thing the alliance has to do is to ascend the throne in the most majestic image, legislate for the new world, and provide a unified moral code for everyone."

"And I have already left a promotional proposal for Anna."

"There are no winners in this war. In the old cycle of violence, victory means peace is imposed on the losers. A peace based on this is like quicksand."

"Therefore, the final external propaganda of the alliance will emphasize that what we are fighting for is peace, not victory, a peace without winners."

In the cold wind, Kate understood why Medea said she couldn't control it.

If everything goes according to her vision, the alliance based on the universal principle of striving for peace will incorporate most of the countries involved in the war into this new system.

Only the Alliance can guarantee peace now, and after the dismantling of the kingdoms and empires is completed in the future, only the Alliance will have the strength to provide the necessary military guarantee for peace.

A world-class government that influences other countries through all aspects of the globalized economy and deeply binds each country around itself.

If the big government is to be maintained, this superpower must maintain an absolute leading military force, at least to the level of a unipolar power that can stand up to the world, and the cost can be paid for by the wealth reaped from the globalized economy.

Kate couldn't hide this hidden thought, because the alliance has always done this, but after this time, the alliance's approach will be given a layer of legality and compliance, because the regulations are formulated by the alliance itself...

The premise for the alliance to become the leader of this new system is to be engraved on the tombstones of all privileged people and other national powers. Economic globalization has actually achieved world unification from the side.

The first act of this brave new world is that all countries and nations must humbly prostrate themselves at the feet of the alliance.

The Alliance will serve as the arbitrator of the current war and the rebuilder of the future world order, and will ascend the throne with great glory.

Although Medea has completed the transformation of the alliance's ideological core, the alliance today may not be red enough, but at least it still has red color. In the future, such ideas will become the mainstream of the world.

In a sense, her vision was partially realized.

But her own influence may not be able to keep up after this round of expansion.

She's falling behind.

As a super federation with a total radiation area of ​​billions of people and dozens or even hundreds of countries, Media's own influence ultimately only covers the alliance's homeland and some other allied areas, and does not have the same influence throughout the world.

Will the people of the new countries joining the union have the same admiration for her?

As time goes by, the alliance, which has absolute distribution power, will basically no longer face any danger to its own security, because their military strength is the strongest in the world.

In the future when her strength gradually fails to keep up with the pace of the alliance

In their wealthy, safe and comfortable lives, will they still be grateful to the woman who led them out of difficulties in their humble days and obey her call?

How many people can remember the hardships they experienced in the past and keep their original intentions? Who can say for sure?

Once this super-community of interests, whose supervision is completely ineffective, goes off track...

Kate couldn't help but shudder at the thought: "It's not too late to stop now..."

Medea shook her head: "This is the only way we can move towards a higher level of civilization."

"Endless infighting among multiple regimes and countries will only keep us trapped on this land and wear us out. A global centralized government is bound to emerge."

"Even though...it's very, very dangerous."

Chapter 329: Unfortunately, I am not a good speaker

Medea stretched out her velvet-gloved fingers to tidy up her hair that was blown by the wind. She did not activate the magic shield to resist the power of nature. The cold would keep her mind clear.

"A world government could greatly accelerate the development of our ideals, but it could also completely overturn everything we have. It's a double-edged sword."

Kate was a little depressed: "Maybe they will worship you even more and build your statues in every corner of the world."

Mitia nodded and shook her head. "I have always been pessimistic about human nature, but I still have a glimmer of hope in my pessimism. I must admit that this kind of thinking affects my judgment of the future to a certain extent."

"In fact, deep down in my heart, I think that institutions and people are two different things. The institutions themselves don't have much bias, but people do."

“So no matter how I choose, how I change, or what kind of rules and regulations I set, perhaps in the end the league will reach a stage where it has no rivals, and its only rival is itself.”

“No matter how perfect the system is, it is no more than the difference between a drop of water wearing away a stone for 100 years or 150 years. As long as profit-seekers are persistent, there is no system that cannot be broken.”

"The only difference is the different paths that are differentiated by the people who control the distribution of this huge amount of production materials, or the ideological tendencies of this group. The three directions will cultivate three types of super institutions, super companies, super-powerful parties, and totalitarian governments that control the distribution of huge amounts of production materials."

"So the problem itself is unsolvable, because the dragon and the hero are one and the same. It's just a matter of how it wants to appear."

Medea looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, her pupils were out of focus and she didn't know what she was thinking:

"In fact, I can only do one thing well from beginning to end, which is to provide a soil for idealists to exist and a soil for more idealists to emerge and grow."

"Every idealist is like a paper wall that is being burned by flames. Although it can resist for a moment, the paper wall will eventually turn into ashes in the flames. Then there will be the next paper wall, and the next one... Countless paper walls will follow one after another to stop the spread of the fire of sin..."

"Either the final fire of sin burns the world, or we find a way to extinguish it before then."

"I have done everything I can, and I have solved the biggest hidden danger. Atomic energy also has a rejection reaction to divine power. As long as we find the origin of those gods and build nuclear power plants on top of them, they will never wake up..."

Kate suddenly realized: "So you had prepared the scene of dragging them to self-destruct all along? It wasn't something you thought of at the last minute! Damn it! You lied to me!"

Kate puffed up her little face and showed her sharp fangs, wanting to bite Medea hard, but she quickly lost her temper:

"So you're taking me with you to run away, right? You're not confident anymore, and you're not sure if that thing will be used on you. After all, this is when you're most vulnerable."

Medea tilted her head slightly. "Not really. It's just that I feel that neither the gods nor I can interfere with this world anymore. The power to choose the future has been handed over to them. I am a little confused about my position."

"But one thing is clear: they have grown up and no longer need the gods to guide them."

Drutsk Oblast

The thirty thousand Red Army soldiers of Ernesto continuously attacked the defense line set up by the Britian Empire like a wave. The roar produced by the machine gun positions could not cover up the deafening cheers.

From time to time, some Red Army soldiers were hit by rain of bullets and fell to the ground, or were suppressed in shell pits and unable to raise their heads. Shells exploded near the machine gun positions, and one of them hit the machine gun and blew it into the sky.

The soldiers near the position were drenched in the warmth that fell from the sky. They spit out the minced meat that splashed into their mouths and repeated the process of loading and shooting.

Several Vanguard-class fighters in the air broke through the defense line of the Drutsk State and poured 20mm shells towards the trench area. More than a dozen defense tanks modified from Saint-Chamond slowly approached to block stray bullets for the Red Army in the rear.

As the distance shortened, the casualties of the Britian defenders in the trenches began to increase dramatically. The tanks' artillery and machine guns restricted their space for counterattack. More and more rifle bullets shot past them, bringing up a splash of blood from time to time.

Just as they were preparing to make a final desperate resistance in the trench against the invading Red Army, the flamethrower who had been blocked by the squad walked out of the team, raised the nozzle in his hand and sprayed a long dragon of fire into the trench.

The soldiers who had no time to react were ignited by the sea of ​​fire inside the trench. The tragic screams rang out densely in the trench and reached the sky.

The trench line that had been able to organize resistance collapsed in an instant, and a large number of soldiers with their uniforms on fire crawled around trying to leave this hell.

If he met an enthusiastic Red Army soldier on the road, he would be rewarded with a peanut to end his painful life. If he was unlucky, he could only rely on rolling around in vain to extinguish the unquenchable flame, and then he would take his last breath in unspeakable pain.

The remaining Red Army soldiers, who were armed with rifles and some assault rifles, continued to pursue the remnants of the retreating troops in front of them. From time to time, some fleeing Britian soldiers were caught and knelt on the ground, crying, "No, no, don't shoot!"

Indeed, no shots were fired, and what was waiting for him was a fireball of flames.

Paul was at the rear defense line and luckily escaped the disaster. He and his remaining comrades went to the rear headquarters.

They were the original joint army that attacked Ernesto. From the 80 at the start to the integration of the Tsar's remaining forces in Shinvapa Province, their military strength once reached a peak of over .

Since their failure in the battle to capture the city of Como in Hinwapa, they have been defeated in succession and driven back into the territory of Britian. Now, there are less than 80 soldiers left out of the more than soldiers. On the contrary, the Red Army chasing them has been increasing in number, and now has a size of to people, and they are basically fully armed, with each person equipped with a rifle and a grenade.

Because of the uprisings among the Britians throughout the country, they were also faced with the dilemma of lack of food and clothing and a lack of supplies. There was no stock of replacement machine gun barrels, and many guns and ammunition had to be discarded after use.

Brittian couldn't even recruit new soldiers.

Sriar and Noronte are home to Ernesto's main force and part of the alliance's army. The pressure on the battlefield is much greater than theirs.

Now, rather than saying that they are making a final resistance for the empire, it would be more accurate to say that they are being abandoned here to die.

In the dark and damp cave barracks, Paul stared at the entrance with empty eyes. The reflected sunlight there was the only light source in this rat hole:

"It was ridiculous to say that we would be able to capture Shinwapa in a few weeks. My brothers, friends, and classmates are all dead."
