Reincarnation Monarch
Lesson 36: On board
Even so, the Lowenglin people cross a very dangerous bridge.
Lombardo nodded heavily at Shester's inquiry.
Assuming that this incident was not sudden, but had been orchestrated beforehand by someone from Lowenglin, it would mean that they had planned an "assassination of the Head of State".
In the first place, assassination was regarded as a subordinate measure because it was too insidious and justified as a type of conspiracy carried out by a country.
Among other things, it could be described as an assassination of the Head of State or as a lower measure.
Because even if the executor were a solo offender, a significant number of human guidelines would be needed before the person could reach under the Head of State, and even if the assassination succeeded as a result, it was often the case that the assassination plot would leak out of those people after the fact, or crack their mouth during a situational hearing, and they would finally be exposed.
So if this assassination of King Cyrus by the breathtaking of Lowenglin was hypothetically true, and that later came to light, Lowenglin could not only be exposed to more intensive artillery of condemnation than the immoral state and the nations of the world, but could even risk the nations forming a coalition to declare war on Lowenglin.
Because the leaders of the nations fear their "assassination of the Head of State".
Kings, popes, prime ministers, they are all "heads of state" in many ways.
In other words, even though there have been assassinations in other countries, if the next spearhead satisfies the minds of their respective heads of state, they try to form a detachment party for their own protection.
But normally war was not something that the powerful could freely carry out.
Because war requires enormous funds and the blood of soldiers.
Funds were predominantly taxes to be collected from the people, and soldiers were aliases of the people.
Therefore popular support was needed.
If anything were to be done to ignore this, the worst coup could have happened, unless it was a more powerful state.
So when they tried to wage war, they needed a great deal of nomenclature to gain popular support.
And in this case, there was a great name for it.
As I said earlier, assassination is an act that is both shady and righteous in the first place.
The samurai intended to be honorable had originally been spared acts and contempts to be spit on and despised by the general public.
The powerful will use it.
This country is a nasty country that tries to defeat another country by such cowardly means as assassination.
Then the people danced by the propaganda were angry against the land, and their anger became a great wave, and they wandered wildly, and they became giant running streams, and they pushed.
At that time, those in power will be crowned with the name of "righteousness" in the running of the wrath of this people.
And a "war of justice" is born.
Each country wields its own "war of justice" and pushes it to the country where it wants to form a partisan.
Only one country would have to know, and if it became a Union, the damage to each country would be comparatively small.
On the contrary, the country of those attacked from all directions will soon perish indestructibly by building a defensive line.
If we do not expose ourselves, the assassination of the Head of State could be a major way of inflicting damage on an enemy country.
But the exposure is too risky.
I mean, it's a high risk high return.
Consequently, the means of "assassination of a head of state" by an enemy state was surprisingly not so many in history.
"Indeed. The Esta invasion seems to have succeeded as planned and taken over beautifully, but I don't think he planned to assassinate King Cyrus for the sole purpose of obtaining Esta."
"Yeah. Esta, indeed, is a geopolitically and strategically important place. Taking this place will increase Lowenglin's military advantage in the future, and instead Raydam will be forced to make a major shift in strategy in the future. But just because the equilibrium is somewhat off doesn't mean that Raydam is in a state existential crisis all at once."
Lombardo took over Chester's considerations.
"Oh, but how about a low english? If the assassin testifies that he was exposed under the daylight and that the mastermind was Lowenglin, at once Lowenglin would be put in a state existential crisis. This is far more risky. How confident are you that you won't expose... or..."
"... or?
"No, I don't have any ideas. I just don't think it makes sense. I just accidentally said it."
Lombardo thought deeply through his head.
Shester also closed his eyes and put his arms together again, sighing one before saying.
"Right. You feel such a disgust that you're misbuttoning one thing."
"Oh. Something... Yeah, maybe I misread something..."
Shester, not to mention, looked at the big, old clock standing on Lombardo's back.
The clock needle was pointing just at 7 p.m.
"Esta arrival is scheduled for around noon tomorrow the 14th. Do you think that today we will reflect on the analysis of the current situation and the future measures that will be derived from it throughout the night?"
"Right. Though heavy, you can't fight on foot when you arrive in Esta. We need weapons."
And Lombardo corrected his posture and never said his will.
"Yes, a weapon in the name of wisdom..."
Lombardo looked at Shester and each other in the face and nodded loudly at the same time.
Their appearance was bright (like this), and their eyes (like this) shimmered.
It was as if he were a boy who knew no fear.
