Chapter 2421

When people are helpless, so is the country.

A country farther east in Penteo is facing such a choice.

The entire country has a population of more than 400 million, and about 12 young adults died on the battlefield.

Coupled with years of blood sucking by the Penteio Empire, the domestic economy has been in a state of semi-collapse.

It was able to maintain it in the past because the authority of the Penteo Empire was sacred and inviolable, and many years of "subordination" made many people in the country, especially the older generation, blindly worship the Penteo Empire!

At the same time, the domestic material demand is not high. Although life is a little bit harder, it is not difficult to live on.

For most people, as long as they can survive, even if the conditions are a little worse, it is not impossible to live.

Under the deterrence of force and political coercion, this small country can only continue to transfuse blood to Peng Jieao.

But now, they can't lose.

Immediately after the defeat of the war, a large number of "oppositionists" began to be born. These people counted the claims and atrocities of the Penteo Empire over the years.

Last year they starved to death more than 20 people, more than the people who died in the war!
The main reason for this result is the problem of food apportionment!

As the Axis country and suzerain country, Peng Jieao has a high status in the entire military group and has a lot of prestige.

Moreover, the frequent means of destroying the country after so many years is also frightening. At the same time, the top leaders of the country are basically the rulers who are close to Peng Jieao, so this extremely unreasonable decision has been implemented.

A large amount of food that was supposed to be given to the country's citizens was transported to Pengeo, which led to famine in the country and many people starved to death.

The opposition immediately gained the upper hand and began to arm themselves, intending to overthrow the current rule, and even threatened to attack Penteo!
If it were placed in the past, no one would respond to these opposition groups.

But the current situation is completely different. The contradictions between the domestic classes have reached their peak and cannot be sustained at all!
Even some of the army has turned to the opposition, and the Penteo Empire itself is in trouble, and they can't solve their problems at all.

The ruling class must make a decision as soon as possible.

Should we keep suppressing the opposition and try our best to eliminate these people, or... fall to the Federation!

They now have one more choice, and that is the Federation!

The Commonwealth has a Humanitarian Assistance Program, and basically all countries facing famine are eligible for assistance.

However, supplies are limited. There are still opinions about who should be given first, who should be given later, and how much should be given.

The federal government said to the outside world that it would decide on the arrangements for humanitarian relief through inspections, but privately they already knew that as long as they "separated" from their relationship with Peng Jieao, they would be able to receive a large amount of material relief!
And this "separation" is not as simple as saying that we cancel the covenant!
It is not only necessary to publicly issue a declaration to the international community, but also to sign a treaty voluntarily and permanently withdraw from the military and political groups with the Penteio Empire at its core.

Only in this way can we get humanitarian aid from the federal people.

They are forcing these small countries to "betray" the Penteio Empire. This kind of "betrayal" is far more terrifying than the "injury" from the Federation!
Grain, seeds, production materials.

The famine that happened last year made many seeds become people's rations. If there are no seeds planted for a few years, the situation will only get worse after that!
In fact, not only this country, but many small countries are facing the same problem. There are many domestic contradictions, the conflict between classes has become fierce, and some civil wars have even occurred.

In the past, they had no choice. If they kept the status quo, they might still be able to ask for something from Peng Jieao, although the possibility was unlikely.

But now that there are more choices, these member states that did not propose to "break up" at the most difficult moment suddenly began to contact the federal people frequently.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was silent for a long time after he knew about it.

To a certain extent, this is indeed what he wants to see. These small countries can no longer continue to transfuse blood for the empire, and staying there is nothing but trouble.

But when they really wanted to leave, and they left voluntarily under the interference of the federal people, he was a little worried and a little angry!
Betrayal is always infuriating!

Once the Federation begins to infiltrate these countries and form a tendency to encircle Penteo, it will be difficult for the Penteo Empire to return to a state of being able to confront the Federation in the future.

And it is also difficult for the Penteio Empire to continue to trust these countries that have maintained diplomatic relations with the Federation for a long time, even if they really have nothing!
In the midst of distrust and anxiety, those surrounding countries can continue to consume their national power and make them tired of coping!

Although the Penteio Empire is the suzerain, it has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the high-handed rule of these subordinates over the years.

This split may really turn into a big trouble.

While His Majesty the Emperor was thinking about these things, the Prime Minister walked in with a serious expression on his face, "They held a meeting of the Twelve Nations."

This sentence was said without thinking, and His Majesty the Emperor looked at him with puzzled eyes after a moment of stunned, "So... what does this mean?"

The Prime Minister immediately explained, "Those of our former dependent countries, they were led by someone, most likely led by the Federation, to hold a meeting of twelve countries, and the purpose was to sign a "Permanent withdrawal from the Penteo Strategic Alliance Treaty" plan!"

A single small country really didn't dare to stand up suddenly and say that it would withdraw from the alliance. Although Peng Jieao was defeated by the federation, it was still not something they could provoke.

They can't beat the Federals. Isn't it just casual to beat these small countries?
So this matter, no one wants to be the first to come forward.

The federal people seem to be aware of their problems, so this time they simply convened twelve countries to release together. Coupled with the commitment behind the federation, the twelve-nation conference was finalized.

His Majesty's expression suddenly became a little hideous!
Regardless of whether these countries have completely fallen to the federation, at this moment, he is full of anger!

He calmed down quickly though, "Do you think we should bring these people back?", he asked the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister replied after a long silence, "My reason tells me that we should restore them."

"But at the same time, my reason also tells us that we can't save them!"

"Your Majesty, it is very simple to recover this matter. We only need to give them some supplies so that they can solve their current difficulties."

"Food, money, orders, what they need are these three things!"

His Majesty the Emperor immediately shook his head and said, "But we can't give them, because we need these too!"

The room fell into silence again. After a while, the Prime Minister comforted, "Your Majesty, when we become stronger again in the future, they will still be the same as before, unable to reject us!"

"I promise!"

A few seconds later, the emperor's expressionless face suddenly showed some smiles, "When the Federation is strong, they are the dogs of the Federation."

"When we are strong, they too will wag their tails at our feet again."

Although his tone was not so harsh, his clenched hands betrayed his inner emotions at this moment!

After a while, he exhaled suddenly, and his tense body seemed to relax, "Let's leave it at that, send someone to contact them, and tell them in private that all this is for a better future."

"The connection can't be broken, but it shouldn't be too obvious."

The Prime Minister can understand what His Majesty the Emperor means. Since the matter has developed to this point and there is no room or necessity for recovery, then simply change the way of thinking.

Calling all of this a "conspiracy of the empire", whether it is useful or not, and who believes it is actually not that important.

The reason why running dogs are willing to be running dogs is because they can't be human beings, not because they don't want to be human beings!

His Majesty the Emperor, or the ruling class of the Penteio Empire, had already made up their minds, so naturally they would not stop it.

On July [-], the Twelve-Nation Conference was successfully held on an island in the Eastern Ocean.

The heads of the twelve countries sat together, talked about the development trend of the world, and expressed their vision for complete peace.

In order to bring peace to this world as soon as possible, the heads of the twelve countries simultaneously announced the signing of an agreement to permanently break away from the Eastern Continent's military and political alliance.

From the moment they signed their names in front of many reporters, the Eastern Continent military group headed by Peng Jieao, a political interest group, began to disintegrate.

Not only did the Penteo Empire not be furious because of this, but His Majesty the Emperor delivered a public speech on "World Peace I Wish".

He admitted the defeat of the Penteio Empire in the war, admitted that the previous emperor chose a wrong route, and was willing to bear the consequences for all the consequences!

In His Majesty's speech, "abandon hatred" and "welcome peace" became hot words!
People all over the world are cheering, except for the people of Penteo, because the war is really over this time!

The remaining clouds after those wars have also disappeared, and the tense atmosphere has also eased.

Outside the Federation's military base in the Eastern Continent, the reporter captured a very precious scene. The Federation sergeant and Peng Jieo's sergeant were smoking cigarettes shoulder to shoulder, bathed in the evening sun.

The fortifications being dismantled in the distance have become a talking background board, and everything is moving towards the bright side!
The decisive decision of the Penteio Empire has accelerated the talks in the Federation, and the Federal Government decided to form a delegation to the Penteo Empire for at least six months of exchanges.

Including exchanges in many fields such as culture, economy, politics, etc., Lynch's name is impressively listed in the list of economic delegations!
Some people claim that a successful handshake between the two major powers will bring peace to the world for at least 50 years, and the Federal Industrial Index has skyrocketed again!
It's like celebrating the arrival of peace!
