Chapter 2597: Trapping Propaganda



Rui wanted to facepalm so hard. "This isn't even a war between human nations. It's a war between species and civilization. Surely she's not that unreasonable."

"In actuality, she isn't," Prime Minister Edward replied. "The issue is that she can't easily choose such drastic military options after campaigning on anti-war and anti-militaristic sentiments. If she decides to go through with such a drastic military deployment, she will earn the ire of her citizens who have grown sick of war."

Rui frowned. "Even though this is for the good of the nation?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Prime Minister Edward scoffed. "They don't know that and certainly don't trust their government when the latter says so. This is one of the greatest flaws of the Republic of Gorteau. All its policies need to be weighed against the sentiment of its voter base. A base who knows nothing about politics."

That did indeed sound extremely annoying.

"It leads to stupid policies and doctrines in place while common sense solutions are ignored because they are not politically palatable," Prime Minister Edward continued. "It is tricky, but if you are skilled enough to leverage it to your advantage like your father did when he crippled their war power and I did when I effectively usurped control over their military power, then you can get what you want."

Rui fell into thought about the country as his mind spurred into action, trying to figure out more about how he could do just that. "...You mentioned she was elected because of anti-war and anti-militaristic sentiment."

"Correct. The third Great East Panamic War had a devastating outcome on the Republic of Gorteau," Prime Minister Edward replied. "For one, the Republic of Gorteau is a highly consumerist economy, not to mention the largest economy in East Panama. The war caused supply-chain disruptions in the form of losing supplies from the allies of the Kandrian Empire, which naturally hit consumerist economies harder. It cost the Republic of Gorteau the Bradt Distribution Service, which was an extremely important distributor of goods and services to the nation."

Was his breakthrough offer powerful enough?

He truly wasn't sure.

"I'll figure it out when I get there." He shook his head. "For now, thanks for the advice."

He regarded the prime minister with a mixed expression. "It's time for me to depart. Don't fall. The Kandrian Empire needs the Britannian Empire to continue standing and serving as our shield."

The man's mouth curled with disdain while Rui smirked.

"Well then, goodbye. I have already fully recuperated. I don't want to waste any more time, so I will be departing from the Britannian Empire immediately."

It wasn't long before he finished all the preparations, stocked up on potions, and departed the Britannian Empire. He wasn't given a farewell like he normally got when leaving a nation.

He didn't want it either.

He was not friends with any of these people as far as he was concerned.

And thus, he departed for the Republic of Gorteau, traveling through the ravaged Human Domain infested with beasts and monsters.
