Chapter 1770: The Land of Redemption
"The other side issued a notice accusing us of interfering in their internal affairs and occupying their territory"
"That's a harsh accusation indeed. In whose name is it issued? A warlord?"
"Well, one general, two marshals and three emperors, they should be warlords."
"Then let them scold. After they are beaten, they have to speak."
Sitting in the command seat on the bridge, Lu Ping'an crossed his legs and read a local magazine, not even bothering to look up.
Before the reporter left, he seemed to remember something and added a sentence.
"Mark their area. They will be the next targets of our strike."
Lu Ping'an said these exaggerated words very calmly, and considering that he had previously led several super-large "Mist Sound Beasts" to trample on a warlord's territory, this was probably not a bluff but a straightforward statement.
"The East Country?"
"No news."
"Acquiescence?"
"Very likely, I heard."
"Just tell me."
"I have a relative who works in a department in Wanjing. He said that the international situation has changed very quickly recently."
Lu Ping'an was a little surprised by the sudden report from another staff member, but after asking around, he remembered that this person seemed to have been sent over from Wan Jing.
This clearly shows that he is an "insider", and this roundabout way of speaking is a hint from above?
"Just say it straight." Lu Ping'an was in a bad mood and was too lazy to beat around the bush.
".Recently, we have received some invitations for international cooperation from small countries in this area. They seem to be somewhat interested in the New Earth United Government."
"Oh, you only think of international law when you are threatened? It's really a classic. I understand."
Some things are indeed hard to say, but such "external threats" have indeed increased the international influence of the East.
They probably don't have the ability to tell what it means, which might be "We have given in, so please control the dog you let out."
This was probably something Wan Jing didn't think of at first.
Or rather, they didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Rebuilding the postwar order requires not only carrots but also the threat of meaningful sticks, and if the authorities act in this way, it will appear aggressive and hegemonic.
The commissions that Lu Ping'an had received before, whether they were heading to the East or to the southern islands, were bound to cause new disputes.
In name, these Orthodox churches are all "cooperative forces" of the Eastern Kingdom, with a certain degree of control and a certain degree of freedom to act, and this "freedom" can be fatal to weak countries.
“I thought there would be a lot of pushback.”
Lu Ping'an didn't expect that clearing up this kind of order would be so smooth.
From enclosing land to establish a safe zone, to clearing out some overly human warlords, and even starting the construction of permanent outposts, Lu Ping'an did not encounter any severe obstacles.
Along the way, there were only three strong men above the rule level who fought, and no one above the eighth level.
"You said this is a garbage mud puddle. Who would want to roll around in the mud if they can make a living outside?"
"Indeed, those rule-level ones smelled of decay all over. They are indeed garbage."
Strong people above the rule level are rare resources everywhere, especially in troubled times.
Not only can they live well themselves, but they can also form forces to protect their families. However, considering the long-term development and social environment, it is best to directly invest in a major force or a big country.
In fact, each country has a number of new independent strongmen, especially the surrounding small countries, especially the traditional Eastern countries where the domestic situation is stable and there is no discrimination against foreigners, and they have reaped a huge wave of war dividends.
We can’t blame the strong for being greedy for comfort.
The professional system requires social resources. Failure to make progress is tantamount to cutting off one's own future. There is nothing in this quagmire, and wasting time in a place of destruction is tantamount to chronic suicide.
The "happiness" of mortals is actually meaningless to top professionals, just have fun for a bit.
"Just some garbage with no future, indulging in low-level desires"
Lu Ping won easily. In fact, he didn't need to do it himself. Other cadres and even high-level war beasts like Kirin could handle it.
However, the fact that this renowned quasi-god personally took action and even killed without hesitation was a deterrent in itself.
As far as Lu Ping'an could perceive, some powerful people disappeared silently in this sea area.
"Well, will it squeeze the living space of other strong men and force the scattered strong men in Asia to join the East Country? This is also Wan Jing's calculation."
Just like the countryless capital in another world line, "big money" can live well in any country because in a sense they are regarded as resources rather than individuals, and the top powerhouses in this world line are also resources needed by any country.
Lu Ping'an closed the book. He was too lazy to care whether he was being plotted against, but since he had the power and resources, he would intervene if he saw something that made him unhappy.
However, since Wan Jing can gain benefits and not only acquiesce to my side but even vaguely support it, perhaps I can go a little further.
"How is the construction of the safe zone life preservation area going?"
"It went very smoothly, even too smoothly. The refugees were eager to do any job as long as they had something to eat."
This was something that was expected. If possible, Lu Ping'an would rather they save themselves.
".How is the situation of plane erosion?"
"It went very smoothly. The priests said that they had never fought such a smooth battle before. So many believers came to surrender on their own initiative."
Lu Ping'an thought about how to save this area that was falling into hell.
Even if he kills a lot of people here, even killing all the warlords and kings, when the main force goes back, a new batch of kings and lords will come, and even more people may die.
Top-level combat power stationed here permanently? That's unrealistic. If you are stationed on Mercury 42, you can still grow by mixing resources. Being a native king here is suicide for a strong man with a future.
"Okay, let them continue."
The result of his consideration is that Lu Ping'an's own actions give the weak an opportunity to change their destiny.
The "trading ground", a "welfare" that was originally exclusive to the Easterners, may no longer be limited to the Easterners after the war.
At this time, Lu Ping'an had already become an exceptional quasi-god, or in other words, the human incarnation of a god.
He already has the ability to build his own "secret realm". And this area, at most, is probably the invasion space from foreign lands.
Lu Ping'an tried to use his own power to erode and control that area and transform it into his own secret realm, perhaps a lower-level existence than the trading site.
The mere restriction of "no fighting" makes it a natural safe zone, and perhaps the most suitable holy place for the local area.
But when he really started to make arrangements, Lu Ping'an found that he needed more "human anchors" than real "gods". The devout believers were the nodes for the blossoming of divine power. Lu Ping'an originally thought it would be difficult to find these believers, but he didn't expect that they were everywhere.
“They call it the Land of Redemption.”
