Chapter 524 Things may not go as smoothly as the 8th God Son thought
Gu Chen was quite impressed by the Eightfold Son of God's brilliant move that went with the flow.
Who could have thought that she would do this suddenly?
Anyway, Kaijima has been occupied by the shogunate army, and the main force of the resistance forces on Kaijima has been captured.
This is an established fact, so let's not dwell on whether the shogunate troops occupying Kaijima actually defected, or which army captured the main force of the resistance.
Now that things have come to this point, let’s just go a step further and let Kaijima completely return to the rule of the shogunate!
God knows how long Yaesugami has been unhappy with Haizhidao's ambiguous and semi-split state!
Now that he finally has this opportunity, won’t Yaezakami have to take over Kaiji Island?
As for the Coral Palace Heart Sea...
Xiao Xinhai is certainly smart enough and has strong execution capabilities.
But the current situation is that I am the fish on the chopping board!
The entire Kaijima Island is indeed in the hands of the shogunate, and their biggest reliance, the main force of the resistance army, is gone. It seems that at this time they can only be slaughtered!
As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice.
No matter how powerful Coral Palace's heart is, it seems that there is no way to turn the tide in this situation.
So facing the aggressiveness of the Eightfold Son of God, she was defeated step by step and was completely helpless.
Gu Chen sat there, watching everything coldly.
This is not possible.
If Kaijima were to come under the rule of the shogunate so completely, and if Inazuma were to be completely unified, it would not be in the long-term interests of him and Liyue!
After making trouble in Inazuma for so long, they finally stationed troops on Bayun Island. What is their purpose?
Isn't it just that you want to influence or even control the entire Inazuma?
One of the reasons for stationing troops on Yayun Island was to isolate the communication between the imperial court and Kaijima, so that Inazuma would never be able to achieve de facto unification!
Because a truly unified Inazuma is much more difficult to deal with than one in a semi-divided state!
Okay, this idea is dark and sinister, but it is indeed realistic.
Gu Chen, who was sitting there calmly, began to think about how to break this game.
Seeing that Coral Xinhai and Wulang below were already hesitant and helpless, Gu Chen above could not think of any good solution for the time being.
There's really nothing I can do. The move made by Yae Shinko today was just too powerful.
At least for now, Gu Chen cannot show any obstructive attitude, otherwise things will be very troublesome.
What? You are Inazuma's Ame-no-Gochu Supreme Great Palace, you are Inazuma's own.
At this time, even if you are not on our side, you can't try to turn your elbow outward and stop us from unifying Inazuma, right?
If I really spoke out to stop it, it would be too much, and I would not be able to face Lei Dianying and Yae Shenzi, and it would be a very ugly situation for both sides.
and many more!
In the current situation, it is not convenient for Gu Chen to speak out to stop it. Could it be that he is also part of the plan of the Eightfold God's Son?
This scumbag fox...is not simple!
Although the situation seemed a little bad, Gu Chen didn't feel depressed.
Because Yae Shinko's plan today was indeed a good one.
But whether she can truly achieve her goal is hard to say.
Many things cannot be solved by force.
For example...issues of faith.
Yes, it’s the same question of faith as before.
The people on Kaiji Island have always believed in their Kaiji Daimikoto, Oropus, rather than in General Raiden.
This essentially hostile belief has formed a habit for thousands of years and has almost penetrated into their bones. It cannot be changed by the shogunate.
The difference in beliefs is so great, and Oropus died at the hands of General Raiden, which means that the people of Kaijima will never like the Inazuma shogunate!
Even though there are shogunate troops guarding their Kaiji Island now!
Even if the shogunate army continued to garrison on Kaijima Island, the people here would obey on the surface, but they might not feel the same way in their hearts.
In addition to the issue of faith being a big problem, another big problem is the issue of hatred.
The war between the rebels and the shogunate army lasted for so long, and countless people died on both sides.
The shogunate army suffered heavy losses, and the rebels also suffered heavy casualties.
A considerable number of the soldiers who died in the resistance army were from the mainland of Haizhi Island.
In other words, if you randomly pick a family on Haizhi Island, there might be someone in their family serving in the resistance army.
And this person is also likely to die in the war, killed by the sword of the shogunate army.
How could this family accept the rule of the shogunate army peacefully when their family members were killed by the shogunate army?
This is hatred.
Continuous hatred, hatred that cannot be resolved.
In this way, the issue of faith plus the issue of hatred, these two points alone are enough to make the shogunate's idea of ruling Kaijima fall into a quagmire!
Of course, the shogunate can also take corresponding measures.
The so-called corresponding measures are nothing more than abandoning the issue of faith and easing the hatred between the two sides.
If they abandon their faith, the shogunate can try to ignore the differences in faith between the two sides and let Kaiji Island still believe in Orobas.
As for easing the hatred between the two sides...
The shogunate could use a large portion of supplies to solve the problems of declining livelihood and insufficient resources on Kaijima Island, thereby showing favor to the people of Kaijima Island and easing the hatred between the two sides.
But both of these measures will take a long time to take effect.
Before it fully takes effect, the shogunate's rule over Kaijima may collapse prematurely due to those two contradictions!
even……
Thinking of this, Gu Chen, who was sitting above, glanced calmly at the heart sea of the Coral Palace below.
If he was Coral Palace Xinhai, he would remain silent at this time and show an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation.
Even if the shogunate troops on Kaijima cannot be driven away, it doesn't matter as the matter is temporarily settled.
At worst, he could secretly incite the people on Kaijima who had hatred towards the shogunate army.
As long as these people are mobilized and the shogunate army on Kaijima is harassed continuously like a guerrilla war, the conflict will be exacerbated.
In this way, there will always be a way to drive the shogunate army away.
This is a process of mutual attacks.
Who can tell whether the devil is one foot taller than Taoism, or Taoism is one foot taller than the devil?
Therefore, based on the above, Gu Chen does not have much hope that the Inazuma shogunate will be able to take back Kaijima completely.
And there's one more thing.
When the time is right, Gu Chen can release the main force of the resistance army captured at Tengdou Fort on Bayun Island!
What? We're not allowed to release them?
Yes, the rebels did a lot of wrong things, but there are so many of them, and we, the Thousand Rocks Army, can’t kill them all. That would be against the harmony of nature!
There is no way to keep them captive and detained forever. That would be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and labor-intensive. It would also be difficult to provide food and drink for so many captives. It would not be worth it.
Based on the principle of mercy, we released them all back to Haizhi Island. What's wrong?
Very normal!
So, when the main force of the resistance army returned to Kaijima and saw that the island was full of shogunate troops...that would be fun.
