In addition to the awe of these rulers or representatives from small countries, there is also an unexpected gain from the "arrogance" of the Empire, that is, arms sales.


    The purchase of advanced war weapons is not necessarily to deal with the war or take the initiative to break out the war. To a large extent, it is actually to scare the restless neighbors around.


    War is not a simple thing. Only when the demands are not met can war break out. Before that, we should be able to determine the dividends brought by the war, which are enough to cover the losses during the war.


    The more advanced the science and technology, the more cautious the attitude towards war is. This has nothing to do with humanitarian care. It is simply because war is a waste of money.


    Every meter of the front line of the war means that tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of funds are wasted on this meter of land. Some countries can''t afford a modern war because they are poor.


    The modern war is different from the cold weapon war in ancient times. In the cold weapon era, it is the population and renewable resources, and the modern war is the money.


    In the war of the Empire''s invasion of the union, only two lines of defense were advanced. In a short two-month war, the Empire divided it into five times and allocated more than 170 million war funds.


    200000 soldiers have been invested in the past and then. The salary of these soldiers alone will consume more than 30 million a month, not to mention the ammunition consumed in the process and the maintenance and damage of some war machinery.


    Fortunately, in the end, the money was recovered and made a lot of money. If the plan of raiding San lodu had not achieved unprecedented success and successfully robbed the federal bank, maybe even if we won the war, we would eventually face huge losses.


    It was like the union was forced to sit next to the negotiating table after the federal vanguard Corps fell into the encirclement of Otis in the civil war.


    When the war consumes huge financial and material resources of the Federation, if we have to face a huge amount of pensions and other funds, as well as the cost of forming a new Corps to fight the battle again, even if the Federation persists, it may take the initiative to withdraw its troops in the end.


    So how to effectively prevent the sudden outbreak of war?


    If the military strength of the two countries is maintained in a relatively balanced state, it will be difficult for the war to break out, because if it can not fight, it can only be solved through diplomatic means, commonly known as wrangling.


    These arms sales will not trigger wars in other regions, but will trigger an arms race in other regions, which is actually a good thing for the Empire. At least when the world is fighting with imperial weapons one day, if anyone dares to disobey the ruling of the Empire and cut off their supplies, it will be enough to make them suffer.


    The afternoon visit left a deep impression on many participants. The strength of the empire is no longer just a word on the surface, but a real truth.


    Those war machines, which were ferocious and frightening enough to be more than ten meters high or even higher, frightened these people. Even if some people had some other thoughts in their hearts, they were eliminated at this time.


    It is destined not to be a quiet night. Almost all telephone and telegraph channels are occupied. Sections of radio waves carry all kinds of information, cross the distance of space, and become silent after several transfers.


    The institutions on imperial Avenue are also busy all night. Some delegations of military enterprises are taking the train to the imperial capital. The warship formation outside the headquarters of the Imperial Navy is slowly leaving the port to the nearest military port to the imperial capital.


    Even Dooling didn''t have an early rest because he wasn''t used to going to bed early.


    "Is that why you occupy the TV?", kinsel was very dissatisfied with eating fruit and complained about Dooling''s behavior.


    Eight o''clock in the evening should have been the broadcast time of the TV series, but Dooling occupied the TV and watched a political talk show that she thought was no fun.


    The program host constantly adjusted the atmosphere of the scene to make the smell of gunpowder stronger. From time to time, he inserted a sharp question to make the four politicians participating in the program spit and scold each other.


    Tonight''s program has a lot to do with what is happening. Under the operation of the cabinet, the title of this program tonight is "tough or warm", and its core is directly related to the ongoing ifto.


    The four politicians took the positions of hardliners and moderates to discuss the foreign policy of the current empire.


    This topic with clear positions and obvious conflicts set off the atmosphere of the program as soon as it came up. The well-dressed politicians only lasted less than ten minutes. They began to tear their neckties, stand up from the sofa, go to their opponents, point at their noses and scold silly beeps.


    In fact, it should be an entertainment political talk show, but it is still assigned to the serious current affairs channel and is deeply loved by the audience.


    Confrontation is everywhere, from gender confrontation, to class confrontation, and then to the confrontation between the rich and the poor. People are happy to join in the wave of confrontation, even TV programs.


    Viewers often write to the program group and greet all the members of the program group with a fragrant tone, expressing the friendship and care between their families. It is because of the broadcast of this program that the huge social effect also makes this program directly mention the eight o''clock file from ten o''clock in the evening.


    For kinsel''s complaint, Dooling pretended not to hear it, but advised, "if you can get involved, maybe you will find it much better than TV dramas."


    Kinsel shrugged his shoulders, bored and could only watch with Turin. Looking at her, he asked curiously, "what will you do in the end?"


    Du Lin didn''t answer, but just asked her to continue watching the program. In fact, before that, the cabinet and television group had entrusted five survey agencies to conduct more than 500000 questionnaires.


    In these questionnaires, 69% believed that the Empire should show a tough stance in foreign affairs, only 27% said that it should give more respect to the international community, while others said it didn''t matter.


    Therefore, the program will eventually be arranged according to the results of the public opinion survey. In fact, there is no reference such as scoring. Finally, politicians who stand in a warm position will be refuted speechless.


    A limited hardness and a limited warmth are the most appropriate way.


    After the program, Dooling gave the option back to kinsel. He rubbed his neck and was ready to wash and sleep. There will be a full day''s meeting tomorrow.


    Just as he left the sofa to go upstairs, a sound came out of the TV, which stopped his steps.


    "According to the reporter, women Vida and Magellan, who shot only one film and became popular throughout the Empire, settled in a hotel last night and didn''t come out together until the morning. As Vida said before, they are in love..."


    Du Lin went back to the sofa and sat down. He continued to look at some vague pictures photographed by reporters on the TV screen. Although Vader wore sunglasses and a cap, people familiar with her could recognize her at a glance.


    He turned to kinsel. "Maybe we should talk about this..."


    "What are you talking about?", kinsel eats the fruit cut from the fruit plate. In order to maintain her figure, she only eats fruit to satisfy her hunger at night when there is no entertainment. "You mean Vida is in love? Please, she will be twenty soon. She is already a big girl. She can decide her own life."


    "Before she was twenty, these couldn''t work. I remember I said!"


    Facing durin''s overbearing tone, kinsel was very unhappy. "You''re just her brother, not her father, Mr. kesma!"


    "But outside alfalfa Town, everything must follow what I say!" and durin''s tone became more and more tough. "That''s why I blame you for bringing her into this circle. You may have your own way to deal with all this, but she''s still a little girl. She''s not ready and hasn''t grown up yet."


    "You are as like as two peas," Cosma said, "Dulin, even speaking in the same tone." Bekkinsale put the fruit plate back on the table and stood up. "I don''t think this is the time to discuss this issue. You should care about national affairs, not such small things."


    Dooling smiled twice. "If we don''t discuss this problem clearly, you may regret it at this time tomorrow morning." (9 a.m., when the daily newspaper is printed and published)


    Kinsel was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what durin had just said. She sat down again, grabbed her hair and shouted wildly, "are you crazy? Just because of such a small thing, you want to... Hurt others?"


    "Small matter? If Mr. kesma suddenly appears in front of me and beats me, I don''t think it''s a small matter!" and Dooling''s voice gradually rose, "Mr. kesma is old. I don''t want some people''s stupid decision to let him cross half the Empire and run to me and ask me why. Maybe it''s normal for you to stay in that circle for a long time, but in my opinion, it''s not normal."


    "It''s shameful for a disgusting third rate actor to use a little girl for popularity, kinsel!"


    Kinsel was already crying and laughing, but at the same time there was a trace of irritability, "you can''t decide other people''s lives."


    "My decisions affect the lives and future of millions of people!"


    "If you are always like this, we will not be able to communicate, Doolin. Maybe in other people''s eyes, you are the governor and a great existence in the imperial regime, but here, you are just my family. You shouldn''t be so ducai to decide other people''s lives, which is unfair to Vida."


    Du Lin didn''t care about it. "Before she was independent, the first thing she had to learn was to be obedient, otherwise I would cut off all her resources and send her back to alfalfa town. I heard that the blacksmith''s son liked her very much?"
