How Hitler came to power in Nazi Germany was not explained until the end. Instead, he brought out a fragmentary explanation about other countries.
Here, the family was astonished to learn that there are over 120 countries on Earth. Not knowing anything else, I asked again if I could not believe this easily.
but the truth is the truth. When I said yes to every question, Marie and her family looked puzzled.
There are many large and small countries in this world, but even so, there are no more than 20. On the other hand, there are more than 100 Earths, so it’s embarrassing.
Here I took out what I thought, a sort of brain fission.
“I think the biggest reason is probably because of the race. Here, it can be broadly divided into races, but it’s not the Earth. Most of them are divided into races.
“It’s like that too…”
“If the Minerva Empire hadn’t appeared after the Tribal War, it would have been similar to Earth.”
There is no eternal empire, and the Minerva Empire may one day be torn to pieces. History proves this.
Such was the case with the millennial Roman Empire, and so was the Mongols, who once conquered all of Asia.
And both empires ran down the path of destruction for similar internal reasons. Rome as a rebellion, Mongolia as a matter of the political system.
In fact, the Minerva Empire also encountered several incidents that at one time almost ripped the country to shreds.
That was the case with the great famine that broke out 100 years ago, and it was so right after the Tribal War. But strangely, Minggun was born each time and ruled the country well.
Even now, Lina is still studying to transition to a powerful centralized system rather than a feudal system.
The demon worshipers put the Minerva Empire in crisis, but I heard that it was proceeding smoothly, whether it was a treason.
“But this little country started a world war? Is that possible?”
“It’s because of the difference in technological development. Europe was the origin of machine development. Through this technology, it gradually absorbed other countries.”
“No matter how many people there are… Ah. You said your world has no mana? Then it might be difficult.”

Marie looked at the map and nodded. Clearly, the reason Britain was able to transform into a British Empire was thanks to technology, including navigational skills.
However, several centuries ago, the Mongols ruled the world with horsemen. What would your reaction be if you heard this story?
Considering this world, it would be astonishing that a barbarian in the border area swallowed up the Minerva Empire.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for his father’s enormous contribution, the Minerva Empire would have been swayed by barbarians until now.
“Then how did you fight before machines developed?”
When I mention the machine civilization, I wonder if I was curious about the era before that. My father asked me in a curious voice.
As soon as my father asked if anyone else was curious, he looked at me.
“Before the machines came along, our lifestyle was very similar to here. It just lacked mana and magic.”
“Then what tactics did you use there? You don’t even have mana, so you should use your head wisely?”
As soon as I answered that it was similar, Nicole immediately asked a question. It seems like you want to know more easy-to-understand hand-to-hand combat than hard-to-understand machines.
Unfortunately, my historical knowledge remains modern. Little is known about how the world fought before guns were developed.
He only knew that the Mongols ravaged the world with horsemen or the famous hammer and anvil.
I think it would be better to leave the horsemen here and explain the hammer and anvil.
“I know one thing. Hammer and anvil are tactics…”
Except for Marie and her mother, who are not interested in the military, all the family members turned their attention to the notebook. and······
“What? Is this what we use too?”
“That’s where people think.”
Surprisingly, hammers and anvils are one of the most popular tactics in this world. Maybe it’s just natural, since people are the power itself.
In particular, during the race war, humans had to deal with elves, so this tactic would have to be developed.
If you look at this, you can skip it, but what if a fantasy element is established?
“Did your father also use this during his active duty?”
“Yeah. If the crew acted as props, I swooped in the back. As you said, it’s a hammer.”
“Okay… Wait a minute. I? Did I do it alone?”
“It was only me.”
“·······”

No, there is someone worse than that! I was at a loss for words after hearing my father’s testimony.
Do you play the role of a hammer by yourself? The tactics of the hammer and the anvil are far away, but anyway, the effect itself is similar, so it doesn’t matter.
It’s not impossible since he even killed the dragon himself. Even thinking about it again, it is clear that all of the savages must have been blocked by one father.
“Yeah, well…Honestly, strategic tactics related to hand-to-hand combat would be better here than in the world I lived in. Hammers and anvils are also one of the tactics that I have been using consistently.”
Don’t expect common sense from fantasy. It’s something I think about every time, but it’s a world that is far from the common sense I knew.
In this way, the Earth and the world were compared to each other and explained, but there was a blockage.
It was none other than a political system. He evaluated that it was okay for the people to directly elect a president or prime minister.
“A dictator is also a king, isn’t he?”
“It would be great if you came to power through a rebellion, but wouldn’t it be okay if you could make the country richer?”
“Dave is right. Even if you get stingy eyes, you just have to be good at politics. In the first place, in our empire, where tyrants sometimes appear, a dictator is…”
However, it was quite difficult to understand the concept of ‘dictator’. The dictator was like a ‘king’ to them.
In fact, the dictator fits perfectly with the monarch of a tyrannical monarchy. A person who holds great power in his hands and controls the entire country.
However, the decisive difference between a general monarch and a dictator is that they seize power by purging all the forces of check and control.
With that as an excuse, he falls into the taste of power more and more, and decisively goes down the path of corruption.
“Ummm…it may feel that way. But a dictator is someone who literally has all the power in his hands. In other words, he has no power or means to contain it.”
“Even if it’s dirty, isn’t it good politics?”
“What if you make the people suffer in that situation? If you don’t choose any means and methods to solidify your own power?”
“A tyrant. Are all dictators tyrants? Then you can get them to step down immediately.”
“It’s not like that… what should I say…”
Dictators and tyrants are hard to separate. Even if you’re a dictator, you can get people’s support.
Representative examples include Napoleon, Hitler, and Stalin, and in Korea there was Park Chung-hee.
They all had one thing in common, that they made the country prosperous, but in the face of history, they were ruthlessly branded as dictators.
Although it looks similar to a tyrant at first glance, it is different in many ways. In fact, the concept of a dictator itself is too complex.
Above all, as his father said, the fact that a politician has no power to check in politics can only lead to the fact that he did a good job.
‘Should it be a cultural difference?’
On Earth, it is known as ‘common sense’ that dictators are of course bad. Even now, in many countries, especially in Africa, dictators are on the rise.
But why is the king just bad for the world to hear? It would be close to something like this.
Even in the Kingdom of Teres, where the commoners’ assembly directly checks the king’s power, a ‘king’ exists for now.
‘·········No. It’s not that the king is bad, it could be because it’s an outdated system.’
What if the president could control all powers without words? In fact, it is the same as the people directly producing a dictator.
Therefore, the powers of the Republic of Korea are divided into the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the executive branch. I don’t know about other places, but it will be similar.
The most important thing is the military. Most dictators hold the military in their hands.
As Mao Zedong said that power comes from the barrel, it is very difficult to become a dictator without taking control of the military.
“Anyway, from our point of view, we can think of a dictator as a tyrant. Being a tyrant only messes up our personal lives, and there are cases where we are surprisingly good at government affairs.”
“But it’s a shame that Isaac said that, if someone else had said it…”
When Nicole looked at me with a blurry final word, Marie next to me answered instead.
“It would have been a death sentence right away. It’s the same as denying the existence of a king.”
“Please don’t say such terrifying things.”
“Why? I was just telling the truth. By the way, I don’t know if we’ll follow that system. We’re doing well enough now.”
Still, Lina is working hard to transition to a centralized system. I don’t even know what that is, but I’ll be fine.
However, the point where democracy began to blossom is from the point where the ‘gun’ was born. Because guns were distributed to each individual, the appearance of a ‘hero’ became almost impossible.
do you have a room too? I have a room too! That being said, the overwhelming quantity and great skills are inevitably the number one priority rather than heroes.
“Then who is the worst dictator in your world, no, who is the king? It’s hard because there are so many countries, but you love history, so you know that, don’t you think?”
“I know, you know.”
There are dictators who wield far more power than the famous Hitler. The general secretary of the Soviet Union, which formed two mountain ranges with the United States during the Cold War.
When my family replied that I knew, they once again showed deep curiosity and focused on me.
Do you think I am a raccoon robot from a certain cartoon? Or do you think of it as a piece that tells everything like a magic conch shellfish?
I smiled bitterly at the twinkling gazes, then opened my mouth quietly.
“The General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin. This man is the world’s greatest dictator. He once divided the world with America.”
“Because it’s America… I honestly don’t have a clue what a country called the United States is like. Comparing it to the Minerva Empire seems a bit lacking. Can you explain in a more understandable way?”
I have explained the United States by comparing it to the Minerva Empire, but my father seems to have been lacking.
In fact, the Minerva Empire has a strong influence on the international situation, but it is not enough compared to the United States.

Not only is Albenheim right next to you, but Helium is also terrifyingly coming up. In addition, the enemy Kingdom of Teres could not be suppressed.
I used a metaphor to fill a kind of mulberry, but now I think an objective view is needed.
I listened to my father and pondered for a moment, then looked around and asked carefully.
“Can I just say it as it is?”
“Of course. In the beginning, isn’t your world a lot more advanced than here? It’s not surprising to hear anything anymore.”
“Yeah. You’re doing everything with science that should be done with magic, aren’t you?”
“It would not be strange to destroy the world.”
Dave jokingly said at the end, but it’s very accurate. The weapons that destroy the world are plentiful.
But I didn’t have to say it, so I didn’t bring it out of my mouth. I scratched my head and opened my mouth.
“For now, I understand. Instead, for the sake of analogy, please replace magic with science. That will make it easier to understand.”
“Okay.”
“Then what kind of country is America…”
I have organized my thoughts for easier understanding. If we compare the United States and the world to explain…
“A country that has the magic of elves and demons, has human resilience and cohesion, and has the productivity and skills of dwarves?”
Couldn’t be more accurate than this. Only under the part of replacing magic with science.
Beasts were mixed with animal instincts, so there was nothing to compare them to. In terms of bravery, it is comparable to that of a beast, but this differs greatly from person to person.
Even excluding that, it is a perfect explanation for the power of the United States.
“Aside from that, we have a military force that is strong enough to engage with the whole world. We have a standing army of 1 million people and we have a variety of military weapons.”
In fact, Russia, a military powerhouse, and even China, which was at its peak, crawled like a dog in front of the US armed protests.

Not to mention, Russia revealed to the public that its military power in the Ukrainian War was a sham in the making.
The most powerful empire in history. That’s America.
“… a million standing troops?”
“Hey, is that possible?”
“Our empire also has only 300,000 standing troops…
Each is the reaction of his father, Nicole, and Dave. When they heard that the number of standing troops was 1 million, they opened their mouths and were astonished.
How much more surprising would you be to hear that the Republic of Korea’s standing army numbered 500,000 and the reserve army numbered over 2 million.

Now it was my turn to be puzzled. I don’t know anything else, but when it comes to military power, I’m close to an outsider.
“Is that the only standing army of the Minerva Empire? I thought there would be more.”
“No. Wait a minute. Outside?”
“yes.”
“That’s a lot! Do you know how many soldiers there are in the Principality of Velois? Ten thousand! Ten thousand!”
“to?”
why so little I put on a bewildered look on my face as Dave shouted at me.
Perhaps he was shocked to see my expression like that, my father wiped his face with one hand and said in a complicated voice.
“·························· since their empire is economically superior, so it is capable of maintaining a sufficient standing army.
“Supply? Ah.”
“Looking at your world, as science has advanced, the distribution system will be smooth…
I forgot and didn’t think about dissemination. Indeed, the reason the United States can maintain such a large army is its terrifying support capability.
At the worst, it was enough to pay the rest of the villagers, who were too much in supply. Besides, America is a blessed land where even oil is gushing out.
In particular, this world needs more energy replenishment due to the existence of mana. At the moment of famine, the whole country is in a state of turmoil.
‘By the way, the world war broke out after the invention of nitrate fertilizer.’
Even chemistry has not yet been established here, so that’s good enough. Originally, the military had a reputation for eating money and food as hippos.
While I nodded my head to understand, the family members talked to each other with absurd expressions.
“No. Why don’t you conquer the world with such military power?”
“You said he has a country that rubs against him.”
“I think that would have been more frightening than war.”
That’s also correct. My family really seems to be doing well.
The Cold War wasn’t just a war, it was because it dried up the whole world.
He kept in check from time to time by firing nuclear weapons whenever he had spare time, and according to the announcement after the collapse of the Soviet Union, nuclear war almost broke out more than 100 times.
“That… Isaac?”
“yes?”
As the family was discussing their opinions, Marie next to me called me in an anxious voice.
I turned my head to look at her and saw Marie with a restless expression on her face.
As she tilted her head, not understanding why she was reacting this way, she said quietly.
“You said earlier that there was a civil war in the country where you lived.”
“yes.”
“But looking at the map, it seems like there must have been a lot of hardship in many ways. The Stavirk area is similar to this, so we are under pressure from our empire every time. That’s what I thought of…”
As if hesitating to speak, Marie pursed her lips and exhaled a long breath. Her family also looked at her in response.
Then, in a trembling voice, she raised an unexpected question.
“Is it because of those two countries that civil war broke out in your country?”
“Huh? Uh. That’s right. How did you know?”
“·······”
“·······”
As soon as he answered without thinking, the crowd became as silent as a mouse. As soon as Marie heard my answer, she said, ah…
The surroundings are no different. They are looking at each other with compassion and sympathy, and finally with sorrowful eyes.
“······why?”
I mumbled quietly with a trembling expression on my face. Either way, Marie slowly walked up to me and opened her arms to hug me.
I was embarrassed by the occasional hug, but I hugged her without a word. Then he patted me on the back, isn’t it?
‘What the hell are you doing wrong?’
There was absolutely no way for me to know.
