章節 88: Chapter 40 Tanilia and Aphrodite

Winters suddenly sighed and asked in a low voice, "Is war upon us?"

"There must be an enemy for a war, right?"

"The Tanilians, the Republic wants to seize the islands," Winters gave the answer calmly, "I'm really too slow, only coming to realize this now."

Antonio neither denied nor confirmed, but counter-asked, "Then why would Vineta go to war with its important source of raw materials and trading partner?"

"I don't know the reason, but what I've learned from history is that people can find ten thousand reasons to start a war, and ten thousand reasons to stop one. War is not a duel between two, each party in a war has conflicting interests. As for the fundamental reason for a war, that can only be known from historical records after the war ends. I'm just trying to infer the direction of the wheels from the ruts."

"What ruts?" Antonio seemed intrigued.
