Chapter 177: Peace in Front, Hate in Back (6)
There’s almost nothing more entertaining in this world than watching a neighbor’s love quarrel or a fire across the river.
It doesn’t affect me, but I can watch others fall into the abyss in real-time.
In a place like the Albanian continent, where entertainment is scarce, this kind of spectacle could be enough to spark a small festival when a criminal is sentenced to death.
And this logic applies just as well to international politics.
‘Japan survived due to the Korean War, and South Korea survived due to the Vietnam War.’
“The longer the war between the Kingdom of Granada, Nador, and the tribal alliance of Ifriqiya drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us.”
The reason I can sell muskets to Ifriqiya and Nador at an exorbitant price is because of the fierce war between them.
Of course, even if the war ends, both countries will still buy weapons to prepare for any future conflict...
But they won’t buy in large quantities at the high prices they once did.
You can sell a bottle of water for 10 million won to someone dying of thirst in the desert, but in a normal place, no one will pay more than 2,000 won for a bottle of water.
Those who aren’t in urgent need will carefully consider the price-performance ratio before buying, just like testing a bridge before crossing.
“Is this the Valencia Defense Army’s base?”
