The country of Tariq is like the Three Eastern Courts, incompatible with this world.
The "loneliness" of the Three Eastern Courts stems from their country's unique bloodline, that is, the three races of humans, immortals, and demons. Except for the human race, the immortal race is naturally cold and unconventional. They will only appear in the world when the country or the world is in danger. What stands out is that they are happy. The demon tribe is not as aloof from the world as the fairy tribe. They are delicate and sentimental, but they still have little contact with the outside world, and the reason is very simple.
They are a bunch of homebodies.
Yes, the earliest batch of "otakus and otakus" in this world are monsters. They like words, songs, and art, but they don't like going out or interacting with others. But this batch of home goods has contracted nearly 50% of the world's literary works, large and small. Even in some ineffable aspects, these geniuses with exquisite painting skills and natural XP are the best. Almost all the ineffable literature in the world comes from the hands of monsters.
Because the demon clan and the fairy clan do not communicate with the outside world, the entire diplomacy or trade of the Three Eastern Tribunals falls on the human race. Of course, the human race in the Three Eastern Courts is also different from the standard human race in the mainland. In addition to their rather special names, they are almost all with black hair and black eyes, well-proportioned figures, and the language they use is different from the common language.
The land area of Dongfang Santing is extremely vast, and its products are astonishingly rich. It is precisely because of this that the Three Eastern Courts have little need for foreign trade. Coupled with the Buddhist appearance of the other two tribes, the original Three Eastern Courts were extremely mysterious to other countries. If it were not for the emergence of magic technology, I am afraid that even the Three Eastern Courts would not be able to communicate with other countries today.
The "loneliness" of the Three Eastern Courts stems from their bloodline being independent of any country. Well, Tariq, who has close contacts with other countries and has been involved in the entire world history, also has a kind of loneliness. But unlike the Three Eastern Courts, Tariq's loneliness stems from their "thoughts."
Tariq was inherited on the basis of the Sharota Empire. This country inherited the martial ethos of Sharota and also left behind the heroic spirit of the desert and snow-capped mountains in the west.
In fact, after the original People's Alliance overthrew the empire and established Tariq, the country relied on the Radiant Crystal to become a military power. After the Void Invasion, Magnum, as the main body of the battlefield, was greatly traumatized and fell into a period of weakness. Tariq, who wants to bring people all over the world to stand on a united front, wants to use this opportunity to change the situation around the world.
At this time, Yingnan, another powerful country in power as a powerful man and rich man, could not sit still. In other words, even if Tariq stays on his own, Yingnan will not leave a country that is obviously threatening and let it grow. As one of the two poles at the time, Yingnan began to engage in invisible battles with Tariq in various fields, both covertly and covertly. Soon, the world fell into a war without gunpowder.
At first, after seeing these histories, Zhou Li felt a little familiar, and a slightly absurd sense of déjà vu filled Tariq's history. The only difference is that when Tariq was about to die with a generous elegance, an ordinary worker stood up and killed Yeli, the sixth-generation "King" who advocated disintegration, in the Tsar Palace that was transformed into the People's Hall. green.
Yemitin, who advocated disintegration at that time, was regarded by many Tariqs as a criminal who wanted to destroy the country. This worker could have become a hero in people's mouth and became the second Tariq. But what no one expected was that the man who was secretly sent away from the detention center opened the door symbolizing the majesty of the country the next day, walked to the dock, and calmly stated his crime.
In the era of national turmoil, he resolutely chose to accept the trial of the law and upheld the dignity of the law. On the day of his execution, he stood on the gallows and gave his final impassioned speech. "If the times want to destroy this advanced country, then let the people transform this backward era." This inspired thousands of people in Tariq. . It was the fire he lit that burned away all the moths hidden in Tariq's bones.
The day after the worker's death, Maris, the first general of the Republic, broke into the parliament controlled by the "Liberal Party" that advocated disintegration. He temporarily took control of all Liberal parties and declared martial law. After taking control of the Liberal Party, Maris promoted a group of young people as quickly as possible and let them enter this national system that looked strong but was already dilapidated.
However, within a year, Tariq had swept away those hidden cancers, and his original thoughts of fighting for hegemony had completely disappeared. Tariq's original large-scale investments in military and heavy industry began to gradually shrink, and the focus shifted towards improving people's lives.
Relying on the highly developed industrial system and the existence of the Radiant Crystal, Tarik's economy once overtook Yingnan and even approached the Three Eastern Courts in less than ten years. At the same time, Tariq also strengthened his national beliefs and unswervingly practiced the "people's path" left by the founders of the country. At this point, Tariq has completely controlled the entire western part of the world and has become a well-deserved people's country.
"In fact, a hundred years ago, Tariq's economic scale had reached an outrageous level."
Zhou Li picked up the coffee that Eluma had brewed for him, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued: "Tariq's industrial system is a crushing level for any country. Any product, as long as it is Tariq thought, he could research and sell it at one-fifth of the cost, and the quality of the product would far exceed the standards of other countries.”
"Then Tariq should have controlled the world's economy a long time ago, and his products can be found all over the world."
Don Quixote, who didn't understand business, came over and asked curiously: "I can't see many Tariq products now. Why is that?"
"Quite simply, Tariq wants to give jobs to the people."
Putting down the coffee cup, Zhou Li looked with emotion and stretched his eyebrows, "Their people are not just the people of Tariq. What Tariq, a country, wants to do is to give all the people in this world a way to survive."
"At the very beginning, Tariq did vigorously develop manufacturing and foreign trade at the same time. Relying on its advanced technological system and industrial level, even tariff barriers could not stop Tariq's products from having a devastating blow to other countries. But Soon, Tariq discovered that as a result, although the people of his country were much richer, thousands of workers around the world were in trouble because of this."
"Tariq quickly realized that what he was doing was destroying the economies of other countries. Although he was fully capable of doing so, Tariq chose to give up manufacturing in order to prevent the people of other countries from suffering. The products were sold to other countries. Since then, every country in the world has had a trade surplus with Tariq, because Tariq never sells, he only buys."
"this…"
Linghai, who was imitating Torea and sipping coffee, had a puzzled look on his face, "Then how does Tariq make money?"
"science and technology."
Zhou Li pointed to the airship at his feet, "This airship's energy room, console, and flight joints are almost all important parts using Tariq's technology. Only those scientists who regard technological development as their mission can Research these magical technologies for people’s livelihood.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Li had a strange expression on his face and said to everyone: "What's funny is that these technologies used for people's livelihood in Tariq were purchased by other countries and made into luxurious private airships. Here we are. In the end, these technologies that were supposed to shine in the field of civil aviation were imprisoned in these flashy pieces of wood.”
"That's the essential difference."
Lin Ling on the side closed the book on the science and technology exhibition. As a capitalist who had personally visited the People's Country, Lin Ling said with emotion: "The army of benevolence and righteousness is invincible. This proverb from the Three Eastern Courts is so suitable for Tariq. But that’s it.”
"Tsk."
At this time, Ah Zi suddenly frowned. She looked at Zhou Li and asked distressedly: "Isn't this unfriendly to Zhou Li?"
"ah?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment, "What does it have to do with me?"
"In such a country full of enthusiasm and kindness, Zhou Li, can you let yourself go?"
AhZi looked at Zhou Li, her eyes full of worry, "Can you still carry out the spirit of deceiving and abducting anyone? You don't want to be civilized and polite, do you?"
"Then you're worrying too much."
Zhou Li laughed, waved his hand and said, "That's true, but Tariq is not that special a saint. They are always a country, and national interests are fundamental, but there are still some dark sides."
"for example?"
"for example…"
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then faintly said three words.
"Twelve quarters."
Yes, Tarik is a country with strong theocratic overtones.
The four major countries in the world have different attitudes towards gods. The Three Eastern Courts belong to two unrelated types. I will give you faith on time, so don't trouble me. Yingnan, on the other hand, doesn't care much, but accepts the existence of the church. Magnum is very close to God, and the church has great power, even more than those of professional unions.
Tarik, on the other hand, has a very close relationship with Twelve Hours, even closer than Magnum, who has a different heart now.
First of all, we must make it clear that in this world, faith is something that can truly bring benefits. He is not an empty, simple spiritual support. Nor is it a denial of the real world or a groundless fantasy. After all, there really is a God in this world.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Twelve Moments spared no effort to help Tariq. Money, power, people, things, and countless popes with special magical powers were poured out without any reservation for twelve seconds. It is precisely because of this that the founding process of Tariq was very fast. It was so fast that the King of Yingnan thought that Emperor Shaluota did not answer the phone because he had hemorrhoids. He did not know about the establishment of Tariq until three days later.
Therefore, the twelve moments can be said to be a great sight in Tariq's country, and Tariq is also happy to see it. After all, in this world, faith will bring corresponding benefits. Those who believe in the goddess of life rarely catch colds. Those who believe in the god of justice can use contracts witnessed by gods. Those who believe in the god of literature can curse people in newspapers, and those who believe in the god of death...
The coffin will close faster when you die.
"Tariq's belief rate is almost 90%, which is a terrifying number."
Zhou Li rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: "It can be said that if you throw a stone on any street in Tariq, it will hit nine believers, and the remaining one will be a cardinal."
"this…"
At this time, everyone also had a headache. They all knew that the relationship between their hero and the gods might not be very good, and there should be some awkwardness between them. But there is nothing they can do about it. After all, the twelve moments have always been the mainstream of this world. It has always been.
"I went to Tariq this time. One of the reasons is to collect four cards with the power of gods. The other purpose is to discuss something with Tarik."
Zhou Li took out the magic pistol and put it on the table, and said seriously: "My brave instinct reminds me that disaster is not far away from us. I want to establish a cooperative relationship with Tariq. As for the content of our cooperation, , is to let this world hold magic firearms."
"Is this okay?"
At this time, Torea, who had been listening carefully, raised her hand, with a slight worry in her calm expression, "You told me that we are really not allowed to use magic firearms..."
"It's the gods."
Anyway, there are no religious people here, so Zhou Li bluntly said, "The one who prevents the use of magic guns in this world is the gods."
"why?"
Linghai on the side was a little puzzled, "How could those firearms threaten the gods?"
"This involves the concept of ordinary people being able to use magic energy. I will talk to you about it later."
Zhou Li did not get too entangled in this aspect, but continued: "If we talk in the name of disaster, I believe Tariq will not sit idly by. But the biggest problem is that I want to contact Tariq Ke, Twelve Quarters will never sit idly by. By then, I’m afraid a conflict will break out between Twelve Quarters and me, which I don’t want to see.”
Zhou Li knew that although the gods seemed to have great patience with him, they would not necessarily continue to be so gentle when it came to these fundamental issues. But now, his own power has not reached the point of confrontation with Twelve Hours, and starting a war hastily will only make his accumulation go to waste, completely in vain.
Therefore, apart from Tariq's cards, the most important thing for Zhou Li during his trip was to find a way to secretly reach an agreement with Tariq and popularize magic firearms in the world. In other words, secretly spreading magic power to ordinary people.
To this day, Zhou Li has not pinned all his hopes on those powerful professionals. His eyes were always fixed on those ordinary people and the dormant magic energy.
