The Martial Unity

The provisions of the Panamic Martial Defense Treaty were hardly new. Many alliances, unions, and confederations had a provision of sharing and partially collectivizing Martial capital.

However, it had never been done on a continental or civilizational scale largely due to the fact that, for most human history, human civilization had never needed to collectivize Martial capital.

The first time that it had needed to was during the Beast Incursion, however, due to the fact that each nation was too busy caring about its own safety, such efforts hadn’t reached a civilizational scale.

"However, in our current circumstance, I believe that we have no choice," the Emperor of Harmony continued. "For one, the threat of the true world will not be distributed across human civilization the way that the Beast Incursion was."

The Beast Incursion had not been universally distributed, and its distribution was based now how powerful a nation was. The Sage-level powerhouses experienced the most lethal and destructive beast tides while weaker nations experienced weaker tides.

There was no need to collectivize Martial power in such circumstances because the Beast Incursion matched the distribution of power across human civilization.

"An intelligent hostile civilization will not act like the Beast Incursion," the Emperor of Harmony continued with a severe tone. "They will not distribute their military power across human civilization. That is not how colonization efforts are mounted. They will channel all their power into a handful of points across the Panama Continent and then expand their conquest from those sites. This is the history of human civilization."

Human history was rife with imperialism and colonialism, and it provided a rather universal model for conquest that, while not absolutely unchanging, was quite constant. Imperialist nations did not try to colonize an entire nation’s territory all at once. By converging their military power on a handful of targets, they could mount powerful attacks on those limited targets.

This strategy served them better than launching diluted attacks across the entire nation that were easier to repel.

"Very likely, any imperialist or colonial power of the true world will do the same," the Emperor of Harmony continued with an intense, yet knowing tone. "Just from the technologies that we have witnessed and the behavior of the prisoner of war that we have captured, we can be certain that there are imperialist and colonial powers of the true world that follow this model."
