Chapter 242 The Door Knob

Peace makes one loose.

Even the soldiers of the empire are no exception.

However, the empire has a countermeasure for this, and that is strict punishment.

However, even so, according to the soldiers that Arno has seen, they are still lazy 1.
If the empire is like this, let alone other small countries, this is something that Arnold had never thought of before.

Moreover, the empire can formulate strict punishment measures, but it is impossible for this small country like the one where Arno is now.

Once they enact strict punishments, fewer people will become soldiers, which will lead to a decline in the national strength of the entire country.

Although it is an era of peace, the national strength of the country also needs to be maintained, because in addition to large-scale national wars, the country has to deal with various crimes, which require national power to maintain .

The reason why the empire can do this is because the empire is strong enough, and it can pay more based on soldiers. It is precisely because of this that the empire has a steady stream of soldiers.

But small countries can't do it. They can't pay much money in the first place. If they add a punishment system on top of this, they will be completely ruined.

So, all they can do is just let it go.

Then, the result of letting it go is what Arnold is now facing.

The facilities that should have been strictly protected, most of the people fell into sleep at this time, while a few people were not on guard at all, and they didn't know where they were.

That's why Zhao Xueya and Yanuo can walk in with a big swagger.

"...This is a worse world."

Yano couldn't help muttering.

"No, the world has always been like this. People think the world is improving, but it's not. The world has always been getting worse."

"If war is waged, blood will be shed and sacrifices will be made; if peace is maintained, there will be laziness and relaxation."

"No matter how people choose, the world is in this cycle and has never escaped."

Zhao Xueya didn't turn her head, but her voice reached Yano's ears with incomparable accuracy.

Yano knew that what Zhao Xueya said was undoubtedly the truth.

Whether it is the empire or other countries, after staying away from the war, they continue to decline, and, in a short period of time, there is no hope of recovery.

Only war can promote the progress of the whole world, but that is only drinking poison to quench thirst.

In the end, no matter how you have to choose, people are just running in the same cycle, as if they are walking on a road with no end.

"..."

Arno did not express any feelings about this.

What happens in this world actually doesn't have much to do with him. His current main goal is to help Nuo Ya ascend to the throne.

As for whether the empire will become better or worse after she ascends to that great position, that is not something Arno should think about.

"arrive."

While Yano was still brainstorming, Zhao Xueya suddenly stopped.

Yanuo looked up, only to see an iron gate blocking himself and Zhao Xueya.

Yano immediately understood that this was where the ultra-high-speed aircraft was stored.

However, after reaching this last step, some uneasiness suddenly emerged in Yano's heart.

Everything went too smoothly.

Their actions were completely different from what Arno had expected, and they encountered almost no obstacles.

It's like just shopping, and I arrived at this place casually.

This gave Arno a serious sense of unreality, and this sense of unreality eventually evolved into vigilance.

Any abnormal situation will eventually bring about vigilance.

Although Yanuo is not as experienced as Zhao Xueya, Yanuo is still a very vigilant person after all.

"...Is there really no problem?"

With this vigilance in mind, Yanuo asked Zhao Xueya.

Then, he saw Zhao Xueya looked back at him, that look was still so cold.

At the same time, Zhao Xueya spoke slowly.

"Of course—there's a problem."

"what?"

This decisive answer made Yano stunned.

"We are going so smoothly, how could there be no problem? Even though the soldiers in this facility have fallen into a deep sleep, even the defense organs have also gone dormant. No matter from what point of view, this is abnormal. "

Zhao Xueya said flatly.

"Don't believe in any destiny, and don't believe in any luck. Everything happens for its own reasons. It is because I firmly believe in this that I can live until now."

As she spoke, she put her hand on the doorknob.

Yes, in such a place that should have been strictly protected, there is actually a doorknob on the door.

If it were an empire, the doors of this place should all be opened after various verifications.

doorknob?Arno had never seen this kind of thing in the empire's facilities, and almost all of them were doors that would only open automatically after passing the verification.

The reason is very simple. If there is a door handle, there will be a mechanical mechanism with the door handle. That kind of thing is very unsafe.

Not only the empire, but many other countries have abandoned mechanical institutions, especially where important documents or equipment are stored.

Yanuo did not expect that such a retro device could be seen in the place where the ultra-high-speed aircraft like a national treasure is stored.

No matter how you think about it, it is not normal.

Even a small country cannot afford an authentication system.

You know, although the manufacturing price of an ultra-high-speed aircraft is not high, the selling price is astonishing.

Since they can afford ultra-high-speed aircraft, it is impossible not to add a certification system for ultra-high-speed aircraft.

After all, compared with the price of an ultra-high-speed aircraft, that thing is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

It is even more impossible to say that there will be no money after buying a super high-speed aircraft.

The money for the certification system only needs to be taxed slightly on people, and it can be recovered in less than two days. As a country with a complete organization, it is impossible to fail to make up the money.

Then, there may be only one left.

"...Is there an ambush?"

Yano frowned and looked at the iron gate and said.

Zhao Xueya didn't answer Yano's question, but turned the doorknob a little bit, the range was not too big, it was only opened half way.

"be ready."

Zhao Xueya said softly.

Although this sentence did not directly answer Yanuo's question, but in a sense, it told Yano the truth.

"..."

The corner of Yano's mouth twitched, and his whole body gradually became tense.
