Chapter 1483: Chapter 1483
1483: Chapter 1479: Ambition 1483: Chapter 1479: Ambition History is always similar; after all, the development of the world and things often has to undergo common processes such as budding, development, prosperity, peak, internal strife, resurgence, decline, and extinction.
Many issues truly can find answers by looking at history and predicting everything that will happen next…
“Have we reached the stage where we must expand outward?”
After the initial surprise, Lu Ping’an carried out his work methodically.
In all aspects, Lu Ping’an would not refuse the requests of the Eastern Country…
It wasn’t because he had a sense of devotion, but because he knew his nationality and cultural roots, even if he changed his nationality, his race and social relations could not be changed.
It seems that you have already gone out, but the strength of your homeland and original race still directly correspond to the attitudes of other ethnic groups toward you.
The more he developed in this new world, the more Lu Ping’an understood all this, the respectful, friendly, even worshipful encounters weren’t merely about him as a person.
If possible, Lu Ping’an hoped that his ethnic group and his country would become stronger, then they could in turn give back to him.
“I have no objections; my family is still there.”
“I have no objections…
but as a cooperating party, we should ask for more rewards.”
“Brother Guan will definitely not refuse it, as long as it involves fighting the Fishmen…”
Members of the Rebirth Business Group did not resist this strategy; they generally accepted it cheerfully.
Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief; this level of strategy wouldn’t stop because of an individual’s objection, but if a consensus could be reached, it would ease things for everyone.
When an era reaches a turning point, whether it is a positive or negative situation for you now, adapting to it quickly, rather than burying your head in the sand pretending it didn’t happen, is the right approach.
The decisions from the Eastern Country on Earth are often long-term and multi-directional; on one hand, it is an extension of the Eastern Country outward, and on the other hand, it is a formal declaration of war.
The Nirvana Plan had just begun, akin to the chaotic period of economic reforms that opened the door in the ’80s, rampant with chaos, making many people rich overnight, while simultaneously many lost their faith, morality, and were completely ruined.
And when it developed to a certain point, the internal drive was insufficient, naturally necessitating the “borrowing of external power.”
From the results, this forcibly implemented national strategy from several years ago indeed had a significant effect but clearly had not reached its limit…
but the situation in the Eastern Country and on Earth could no longer allow it to continue tempering its internal strength.
On one hand, the homeland was threatened; on the other, being large in scale, further development relying just on the Eastern Country alone was insufficient, true colonization of the Foreign Domain was real, and so was the counter-attack…
“I guess, this time they still want to target the Octopus, a rising power race in the Multi-universe, they must have some sufficiently deterring combat achievements.”
Going out was inevitable, so instead of constantly undergoing “trials” by other races and groups, it’s better to strike hard enough to prove one’s strength.
“The human race needs to prove its strength…”
Beating up other weaker races is pointless; Earth, which already owns multiple worlds…
at least the Eastern Country, needs to strike a hard blow, so the well-known and provocatively challenging Octopus Tribe naturally becomes the best choice now.
Since preparations to go out were necessary, naturally preparations for war were also necessary, and if the battlefield isn’t one’s own homeland, even better.
At this time, Lu Ping’an also directly notified several Quasi-Gods within Lin Nu’s internal team…
although everyone was an “equal” force, some had more equal say.
“…So this is the situation, I guess it can’t be stopped, and I don’t want to stop it, what do you think?”
During the small-scale meeting, in communication with Xiu Yi and others, Lu Ping’an was prepared for the talks to collapse.
“It looks like I need to coordinate a bit…”
As a result, Lu Ping’an encountered no resistance, a smoothness he couldn’t comprehend.
But soon, he knew the reason.
“Someone from the Eastern Country has talked to me already.”
The treatment of a seasoned Quasi-God was truly top-notch, not only with a prior notification but even consultation.
“This kind of thing can’t be blocked; the key is what we can gain from this process…”
No fools had made it this far; the powerful ones instead showed an exceptional sense of timing…
The fact was those with nicknames like “Sky Pride” or “War Heaven,” were either newbies or half-baked, while the real top combat powers were quite “humble.”
“This actually doesn’t affect us that much…
It’s very likely a good thing.”
The expansions of the big shots had already been maxed out.
In the past six months, development had entered the fast lane; in fact, during the last high-level meeting, they discussed whether to remove the tax exemptions directly.
Yes, they were actively asking to pay taxes.
They also realized that, in the current situation where they were at an absolute numerical disadvantage, holding too much wealth and resources, especially when everyone saw you making a super-lot of money, to keep gaining without giving back was too much and attracted resentment.
Did they lack that bit of extra income?
What they needed more was stable development, the expansion of their territories, and steady population growth within their spheres of influence.
If their side continued to enjoy privileges, once they expanded, they would not only attract hostile scrutiny but also apprehension from the New Kingdom…
The history of the Eastern Country was clear about what befell those untaxed temples in the end.
The big shots longed for further expansion, for more development opportunities, and though the Eastern Country’s strategies might dilute their say, it would provide them with the resources they needed most…
“The proportion of people from the Eastern Country in this world is still too low…”
The reality was a lack of population; without sufficient people, nothing could be done.
The high level was all Easterners, to say nothing of the middle and lower strata…
If the basic team leaders, technical backbones were all handed over to people from foreign ethnic groups, after a few generations, whose company or power it was could be hard to determine.
Pre-communication, along with interests not directly conflicting, even several individuals anticipating change in realities, made the difficult communication Lu Ping’an expected not happen.
Nevertheless, it was a bit tricky on the New Kingdom’s side.
Even if one could persuade the high-level of that kingdom and have them witness the normalization of large-scale migration and “overseas military deployment,” such a change of level would quickly be perceived by the general populace.
If there really appeared news and situations akin to “countries within a country,” it would then be hard to clarify.
“Then let’s not talk about it.”
“Don’t talk about it?
Can that work?” Someone was very puzzled, wouldn’t that be blatantly lying.
“No problem in the short term…
In the long run, once everyone is assembled and our power is elevated, then whatever we say will be true.”
In the end, this seemingly incredible approach was affirmed by the investigation team as a strategy.
Of course, it wasn’t about “not communicating,” but rather negotiating with the upper echelons, securing their tacit approval.
Like the Saphire people, the Easterners would migrate in large numbers, but they remained Easterners…
Eastern Country, which never acknowledged dual nationality, became somewhat hypocritical when needed.
“How can the laws of this world govern the origins of an Otherworld…
Once they arrive at Mercury 42, naturally they become people of Mercury, and when they return to Earth, they naturally are Easterners again.”
And with the arrival of New Kingdom citizens supporting the Deities, they naturally ushered in a new era.
