Crossover in the Anime World

Conan always believed that the imperial system was backward, but when he thought about it according to other people's thinking, he found that the imperial system was simply the inevitable result of integration.

When the territory is small, it is enough to discuss it with the elders. But when the territory is large, you must choose an interest representative, and this representative is the king. When the king faces expansion, he must face whether to continue to represent his own tribe or to represent the interests of everyone.

It is obviously more beneficial for the king to represent the interests of everyone. Of course, not everyone can succeed. Caesar wanted to represent everyone, but unfortunately he was killed by the nobles. Therefore, Caesar's successor Octavian took a second place, saying that he was the first citizen and that he represented the interests of citizens first and then the interests of others.

King Zhou of Shang and Caesar must have something in common.

If you want to unite your own people, allies, and enemies, you will die miserably if you fail.

Conan was dumbfounded, because the system he had always despised was crucial to integration. Wait, Conan thought to himself that the other party presupposed that integration would be better, so the imperial system had an advantage, but who said integration would be good?

Citizen supremacy is also very good, there is no need for integration at all.

Failure to integrate means that resources cannot flow internally and can only expand externally. The result of citizen supremacy is war after war, because one of the obligations of citizens is to join the army and fight, and many forces can only obtain citizenship rights only by joining the army.

The war only needs to be won.

In order to oppose the monarchy, Conan thought that it was okay to break out a war based on the supremacy of citizens, but it had to be won. It's a pity that he also knows the current world structure. No matter who fights the war, there are no winners. Only those countries that did not participate in the war are the winners.

Because once there is a war, capital and talent will quickly flee to safe places. The two world wars made the United States imperial because they were isolated overseas and received a large amount of funds and talents.

Unless the whole world is at war and the war is raging in every corner of the earth, as long as there is no war, this place will be the winner of the war and the post-war paradise.

In the absence of war, countries compete for efficiency, and the efficiency of integration is the highest. This is the choice of different ethnic groups over thousands of years, and the efficiency of the Han Dynasty has been tested by history.

Even the nomads had to choose to become Han Dynasty. After the Liao Dynasty completed the management of the two civilizations of nomadism and farming, the entire rules of the game changed.

The Liao Dynasty established a system of Han Dynasty that belonged to the nomadic people. From now on, nomadic civilization will be able to compete with agricultural civilization for legitimacy. In the past, the nomadic people did nothing serious except burning, killing, looting, and they could be said to have been barbarians for only a hundred years. But after establishing their own system, they can compete for Chinese orthodoxy.

They couldn't manage the land before, but after the Liao Dynasty, they had management experience. The rules of the game have changed, and the nomadic regimes after the Liao Dynasty have to seize the legitimacy of China.

Why it is said that "there will be no China after Yashan" is because the rules of the game have changed and foreigners have to seize the legitimacy of China. Because their previous system could not adapt to the Central Plains, it would quickly collapse when they went south. But after the nomadic people have their own system of Han Dynasty, it will be competition between dynasties, and they will definitely have to seize the legitimacy of China.

This is just like the northern princes and southern princes in the Spring and Autumn Period. The north saw Chu as a barbarian, but after Chu established its own set of rituals, he directly proclaimed himself king and fought against the Emperor of Zhou.

When there are differences in systems, it is competition between systems. When the systems are similar, it will be a competition for legitimacy.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if there was only one set of Zhou rites, then Chu State could only respect Zhou rites. But after the Chu State established its own etiquette system, it had to compete with the Emperor of Zhou for orthodoxy to see who was the real etiquette.

From the early Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State was regarded as a barbarian, to the late Warring States Period, when the Chu State was regarded as the savior. It can be seen that the Chu State's status has been rising and its legitimacy has been recognized.

The rules of the game have changed. When Chu State did not have a complete set of rituals, they were indeed barbarians. However, as Chu's territory became larger and larger and its etiquette system became more and more perfect, they had to fight for the right to orthodoxy.

Just like the United States and the former Soviet Union, before the Soviet Union collapsed, the two countries fought for systems. After the disintegration, the American imperialists fought for the legitimacy of liberal democracy. Only theirs was orthodox, and everything else was heresy.

Before the Liao Dynasty, even if the nomads successfully invaded, they were unable to manage the land. After the Liao Dynasty, the nomadic people also learned the methods of the Han Dynasty and had experience in managing land, so what they needed was to rob Zhengshuo of the Central Plains.

The subsequent nomadic invasions all chanted "There will be no China after Yashan" because they also had experience of Han Dynasty transformation, and their system could quickly take over the land. Of course, some intruders only know the outside but don't know the inside. They really think that they can successfully invade by relying on slogans. They are completely unaware that the real success is not slogans, but the system.

In the Han dynasty, the emperor must represent the interests of everyone, not just the interests of the nomads, so integration must continue to be implemented. If you want to take over the Central Plains, you cannot put citizens first and you can only follow the path of integration. Just shouting slogans cannot take away Zhongyuan Zhengshuo. Only an integrated system can allow them to integrate into Zhongyuan.

Conan discovered that integration is simply the inevitable way out of competition, because even nomads cannot refuse the efficiency of integration.

The advantages of integration are really time-tested. Any civilization that is matched can be strong. Any civilization that only shouts slogans and cannot truly realize integration will inevitably fail.

"This is simply a curse." Conan only felt horror. As a citizen of an island country, he could not understand integration. He only felt that this was a Cthulhu monster, devouring everything with its fangs and claws.

What curse is the diplomat thinking, and where is it?

Conan had to admit that no matter what system, ethnicity, or religion, the final pursuit was integration and uniting people to his side as much as possible.

The only thing that can really be implemented in the system is the Han Dynasty. As for religion, although there are various interpretations, allowing different gods and different beliefs to be integrated into one religion, in the end the right to interpret religion will still be controlled by the nobles. The nobles are unwilling to integrate.

Because integration means that the nobles have to accept deployment and give up their deployment power. This was something the nobles did not want, so they tried every possible means to defeat the king and would rather use religion to govern the country than have an emperor.

But in competition, nobles need to cooperate, and cooperation must have a common standard, so it will be natural to elect a king.

The desire of the nobles is to remain independent forever, but to be able to cooperate with other nobles and to conquer cities and territories internationally. This is obviously a contradiction.

The expansion of cooperation will inevitably create kings. To enhance efficiency, the king must choose integration and become the emperor.

Conan was speechless, because no matter how he thought about the future, it would be integration and integrated competition. The integration was like a black hole, swallowing everything up, and he felt a shiver run down his spine.

Conan only felt that the terrible imperial system was too terrible, but regardless of nationality or religion, everyone was seeking integration, and the process of seeking would inevitably lead to the birth of an emperor. It was really a helpless despair.

When the time comes for integration and integrated competition, whoever controls Zhengshuo will control the world.

"So Dulan saw this future and decided to integrate the island country and then take over the Central Plains?" Conan thought that if Dulan succeeded in becoming emperor and transformed the island country, then he would have to seize Zhengshuo's signature brand. Yes, it will definitely be a war.
