Chapter 42, The Irresistible Conqueror (Part 2)
In this way, relying on the intimidation of the aerial fleet and ground mechanized troops, as well as the comfort of free bread, dried fish and music, as well as the communication and propaganda of the indigenous leading party, the 30,000 sub-human refugees outside Italica basically expressed their emotional stability , will never talk nonsense, let alone cause trouble to the military men from another world who are approaching the city. Even if they noticed that the alien army was setting up camp around them, and even used a long barbed wire fence to surround their messy refugee camp from a distance, these demihuman refugees showed no signs of restlessness or resistance.
You know, in this poor and backward world, as long as three meals a day and a shelter from the wind and rain, countless poor demi-humans who can't make a living can voluntarily sell themselves and seek refuge. From the perspective of these demihuman refugees, since this army claiming to be from another world could generously give them so much food, it definitely had no intention of killing them. What's more, as refugees, they have almost nothing. No matter how much they are squeezed, there is no oil and water. They are really not ideal fat sheep. Even if these alien armies want to plunder wealth, they should only be able to attack nearby villages and the city in front of them. If they want to retaliate against the rulers of the empire who opened the space-time gate without permission, in the eyes of these demi-human refugees, it has nothing to do with them, as long as they don't bring any harm to themselves.
At the same time, Comrade Li Wei, who was in charge of leading the ground troops, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that the demihuman refugees were still quite obedient. Although these demihuman refugees think that they have almost nothing and are just relying on others to eat, they are basically worthless even for robbery. But the problem is that from the perspective of people on earth, their own value far exceeds all the wealth in this alien human city in front of them.
——Not to mention these cute cat-eared girls, dog-eared girls, winged men, harpies and wolf girls, they will make the eyes of many men and entertainment companies who are eager to experience exotic customs shine with their eyes, and even Spend a lot of money. Even those ferocious-looking pig-headed men, werewolves, lizardmen... and other demihuman refugees who do not conform to human aesthetics are still full of treasures. Just the genetic genes and hair samples on their bodies are enough to make the biological research institutions of all major countries in the world so excited that they are willing to spend all their funds for it. Next, major zoos around the world should be happy to pay high prices for these novel exhibits from other worlds. Well? Is it against humanity to imprison demihumans in zoos? Well, since they themselves believe that they are not human, wouldn't it be appropriate to live in a zoo and be watched by others? To put it harshly, think of it as a rare animal; to put it nicely, just treat it as a special actor in the entertainment industry!
All in all, relying on a set of carrot and stick combinations carefully designed by the relevant departments, as well as the overwhelming strength, the Chinese alien expeditionary force's first contact with the indigenous regime of the Falmat continent was basically achieved. purpose, a peaceful takeover seemed just around the corner.
Although it seems easy, it is actually not easy. After all, this is the first collision between two worlds, and no one knows what will happen in advance. Even with overwhelming armed forces, it is not easy to make the other party understand - for example, in the eyes of ancient people who have only seen cold weapons, the automatic rifles and rocket launchers carried by modern soldiers are just strange. It's just a metal stick, far less powerful than the sword in your hand: despite the fact that a modern soldier with full firepower can easily sweep through a centurion of an ancient Roman legion in an instant.
In addition, even on earth, it is only in the past few thousand years that humans have begun to be able to travel long distances and contact strangers in distant places relatively safely. In the era of barbaric tribes before this, it was simply impossible for anyone to travel freely. In that savage era, each village and tribe was an independent political unit, and was in an endless revolving door of war, peace, alliances, and trade with neighboring villages and tribes. The vast majority of human beings in the world only move within a radius of 20 kilometers (a round trip in one day) near their residences throughout their lives, because their "own territory" is only that big. And once you step out of this small world and break into your neighbor's territory, you are in danger of being killed. In the minds of most savage tribesmen, killing strangers who trespass on their territory is basically a crime. It is a very normal thing, just like killing a rat that broke into the house in modern times. There is no need to concoct any charges.
Therefore, in those barbaric tribes that are in a state of ignorance, many indigenous people often have less understanding of their homeland than Western expeditions from half a world away. For example, on some large islands in the Pacific, there are many indigenous people living in the hinterland of the islands who have never seen the sea in their lives, and do not even know that they live on an island. Although the nearest coastline is often only a dozen kilometers away from their homes. But the problem is that the seaside is the territory of other tribes. Leaving your own territory rashly and "going out" to visit people and view the scenery there, even if it is only a few kilometers away, will be life-threatening. It is almost tantamount to Inserting the mark sells first, so almost no one does it.
If you were a European explorer in the Age of Discovery, you would not have such troubles at all. Because they regard expeditions and adventures as a holy war, and regard themselves as holy warriors with a destiny, destined to enslave and kill those inferior barbarians. It is normal to kill and be killed in battle, and they do not have to bear any responsibility. Responsibility... But although Li Wei had an armed force far superior to that of any Western explorer, what stood behind him was a bureaucracy accustomed to a peaceful society, although it did not have the wimps like the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. degree, but generally speaking, we are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. Even if they are not afraid of war, they are still afraid of causing any unnecessary conflicts and taking responsibility for the mess...
Fortunately, the other world on this side of the "Gate" has obviously passed the development stage of the savagery era. It has the concepts of country, law and order. Even the demihumans who have lived a miserable life under the rule of the empire at least have the concepts of country, law and order. You have to tame the conceptual consciousness of the strong - so it's going well for the time being.
"...Next, we should trick these guys into moving to Arnus Hill...but don't be too hasty."
Seeing the demihuman refugees resigned to their fate, Levi rubbed his chin and thought, "...We have to wait until the whole situation is resolved."

On the other side, in the city of Italica, in the courtyard of the lord's mansion, Wang Qiu's initial negotiations with the local ruling class did not go very smoothly.
——After sending the female knight Persis back to the people in the room, Wang Qiu sat in the cockpit of the mobile suit again and waited patiently for a long time, but the expected Princess Pinna did not arrive. What they saw was a shivering little lolita and an old maid with a dead face - the expression on the old maid's face could make people think that she was seriously in debt.
Then, with the comfort and encouragement of the old maid, the little lolita wearing a gorgeous pink princess dress said in a unclear voice, as if she was about to cry at any moment, "...Lun, the Lun family It’s the local lord, Count Miyu Fomar. Please, please... Wow——”
Looking at the little Loli who couldn't help but burst into tears after barely finishing her words, Wang Qiu's only reaction was to roll his eyes.
Obviously, there is nothing decent to talk about with this crying Countess Lolita.
After calling out Miss Portsais Marquis again, and using Doraemon's prop [Honesty Wave] to induce her to tell the truth, she learned that the actual person in charge of the local area, Princess Pinna, was still drunk because of binge drinking. After lying down and not getting up, and other people either lacked enough status to make a decision, or lacked the courage to deal with it without authorization, Wang Qiu had no interest in learning from Liu who visited the thatched cottage. He was prepared to wait patiently until Sleeping Beauty woke up. Instead, he dropped the Mobile Suit Gundam in the courtyard of Count Formar's mansion, activated the ability of the [Superman Suit] and flew back to the flagship Xiangrui - anyway, if there is no password, the following The natives couldn't activate the Mobile Suit Gundam, not to mention that there were floating battleships keeping surveillance above their heads at all times. At the same time, arrangements were made for the armed helicopters that had been flying for most of the day to temporarily land and rest. The ground troops had used the wheat fields that had been harvested in early winter outside the city to clear out a large flat temporary landing site and surrounded it with barbed wire to serve as a base for the air troops. Advance to base.
So, just like this, amid the uneasiness and discussions of more than 40,000 indigenous residents inside and outside Italica, dusk slowly fell.
At the same time, Princess Pinna, who had drank God knows how much wine, finally woke up rubbing her temples and forehead. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by a large group of anxious subordinates. Then, amidst the shouting and shouting, Princess Pinna, who was still dazed, was shocked to learn that while she was drunk and unconscious, something seemed to have happened in Italica. ...something very serious? !
"...What? People from another world? Coming from the 'door' on the top of Mount Arnus? Oh! Gods!"
Princess Pinna couldn't help but show a dazed expression for a moment, then turned around and opened the bedroom window, and immediately saw the huge metal doll standing in the courtyard outside the window, as well as the shadowy figure floating in the air above her head. The fleet suddenly couldn't help but let out an infinitely sad groan, feeling that its head, which was already stinging due to a hangover, suddenly became more headache-ridden...

PS: Regarding the issue of life-threatening medical treatment in the Middle Ages, especially the fact that the founding father of the United States, Washington, was bled to death. Some readers believe that 1799, the year when Washington died, was no longer the Middle Ages. The medical level was not that bad, and it was more likely to get the inheritance in advance. There are many examples of incidents that lead to a son killing his father or a wife killing her husband (using pretend therapy). Cases that occurred in modern America, such as using a dirty carpentry saw to amputate a father who broke his leg, causing the wound to become infected and causing him to die, and colluding with a Taiwanese adulterer to use 380 volts of industrial electricity to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on an unconscious husband. She electrocuted her husband into a barbecue, stuffed ice cubes into her father who fell into an ice cave while fishing in winter and developed hypothermia to "reduce his fever", and finally froze him alive into a zombie, etc. It's really breathtaking.
However, according to historical records, President Washington had problems with his reproductive capacity and had no biological children. Mrs. Washington was also a model of a noble lady who was featured on commemorative coins. Logically speaking, she should not be so crazy. Uh, wait a minute, Mrs. Washington, Martha, seems to be a widow. Before marrying President Washington, she had given birth to four children with her ex-husband. President Washington’s legacy and political resources were ultimately inherited by Mrs. Washington’s children with her ex-husband. ...Could it be that Mrs. Washington really colluded with an unscrupulous doctor to create a medical accident and murder the president? It’s scary to think about it! However, no one can figure out the truth about such a distant thing.
