Chapter 1065: 1047 appeasement

Chapter 1065 1047. Appeasement

Appeasement policy.

In Lan En’s home world, this refers to the country represented by Britain on the eve of World War II, which did not stop or contain the increasingly violent aggressive activities in the world.

The act of sitting back and watching, or even helping the aggressor, with the intention of reaching an agreement after helping.

It was not until the end, when these acts of aggression spread like wildfire, even endangering the countries that implemented the appeasement policy, that these countries began to mobilize resistance, as if they had just opened their eyes and saw the evil deeds of the invaders.

The Second World War officially started.

Lan En has a good foundation in history, and these contents are also compulsory knowledge of world history during his education.

The causes of the appeasement policy are complex and profound, but they cannot escape from three general directions.

After the First World War, the countries involved in the war had too many deaths, and every citizen still remembered the tragic past, so they had a general fear and did not dare to face the war.

At that time, the world economy was at a deep trough, and the weakness of the domestic economy also made it less easy to carry out war as a money-grubbing act.

Moreover, the countries that implemented the appeasement policy at that time always had optimistic estimates of the threat from their enemies. In other words, in order to avoid war, they forced themselves to believe those optimistic estimates.

Think that the enemy's ambition will not be too big: after devouring a lot of benefits, he will know how to stop it.

I think the enemy is not very courageous: after receiving so many benefits under the scrutiny of other countries, he should feel guilty.

 ?

There are also various optimistic estimates.

Putting it on Saruman in front of you, these characteristics could not be more obvious.

Sauron is the dark enemy of Middle-earth. The battle in which he was defeated was called the "Battle of the Last Alliance".

It is enough to see the decisive mentality that the light camp had at that time to fight this battle.

Although Lan En did not know any more information about this battle, it was enough to imagine the tragedy.

The participants and witnesses of the war must have been horrified.

They do not want such a tragic war to happen again, and this subconscious psychological avoidance is understandable.

Saruman did not need to think too much about economic issues, but his contempt for Sauron was even more serious than the optimism of the countries that implemented the appeasement policy.

Because he gives people a feeling that he is naturally domineering, coupled with his own powerful strength.

The arrogance of such a person is to be expected.

In his eyes, Sauron is a finished loser. What else does a loser have to care about and bother with?

‘In conclusion,’ Lann complained to Mentos in his mind, ‘I think it’s time to transfer your British accent to Saruman. He is too big for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! ’

The biological brain can only return a series of ellipses to the subject.

.’

“Okay!” Saruman completely understood what Lan meant, and he tapped his knuckles on the stone table with an expressionless expression.

“I suppose what our young agent of Radagast is saying is that because we are afraid of facing the Dark Lord, we deceive ourselves that he does not exist?”

"Please let me describe my words carefully again." Lan En said carefully considering the words.

In important meetings, it is very important not to let others misinterpret your meaning.

"I don't think you are afraid of fighting. I just want to say: It is too passive to put your hope in the fact that the enemy is not strong enough or has not recovered. It is also unwise."

Gandalf smiled slightly sheepishly.

The demon hunting is clear, and the old man of Badong family has the idea of ​​delaying time.

“Lady Galadriel feels it too, doesn’t she?”

Gandalf complimented the Elf Queen who was standing under the arch on the edge of the platform looking at the dawn.

There are only three of them left on the platform.

The moonlight has faded away, leaving only the warm and soft golden sunshine, shining on the mountains and woods.

“I approve of Thorin Oakenshield’s Restoration Crusade.”

The Elf Queen looked at Lan En and Gandalf with a smile. Although her soft voice was soft, it naturally overcame the noise of the waterfall.

“But I am indeed worried that this operation to regain the lonely mountain will stimulate those forces lurking in the dark.”

“They have been secretly accumulating strength after the war. For example, the Blade of Morgul should never see the light of day again.”

Gandalf nodded with a heavy expression.

“But why did you bring Bilbo into this, Gandalf?”

Lan En asked with a frown on his side.

“The hobbits are powerless. You said you need a master snitch, but apart from their own unique talents, the most important thing about hobbits is zero experience and skills. This is too dangerous for Bilbo, Gandalf.”

“Do you really believe that Bilbo can deceive the dragon?”

Gandalf’s eyes showed deep thought.

"Do I trust Bilbo? I honestly don't know, Lann, and Lady Galadriel."

“But Saruman believes that only great power can suppress evil. I do not agree with this idea.”

“Where do the forces of justice that can fight against evil come from? They can only come from ordinary people, and their daily lives come together to form a force that can defeat evil.”

The gray-robed wizard's voice was low, neither passionate nor convinced. He just stated his ideas plainly.

But it is precisely because of this plainness that it shows that this is an unshakable belief in his heart.

Like the dawn sunshine that shines on him, it is ever-present.

“People raise their offspring with love, and heroes are born from countless offspring. These heroes inspired by kindness and love will bring more goodness. The cycle of cause and effect is the key to goodwill curbing darkness.”

“Is the kindness of little people useless?”

"No."

Gandalf shook his head.

“Why did I choose a hobbit? Bilbo Baggins?”

“Because the darkness frightened me, but this little hobbit gave me courage!”

Lan pursed his lips and looked at Gandalf. After a long time, he exhaled, shook his head, and walked down the stairs.

"Then you'd better take care of your courage, Gandalf. The ball of flannel is already friends with Bilbo. He'll be very sad if something happens to him."

"Of course, of course! After all, you have a heart of stone, right? Only the kitten is sad."

Gandalf smiled teasingly, and then he was about to turn around and leave. He was going to chase the dwarf expedition.

Without his help, it is unimaginable that this group of dwarves could get into any trouble in the dangerous wilderness.
