Late November.

With the help of workers such as Dazna, the International Workers' and Citizens' Cooperative founded by the Shion Flower Merchant Association in the Country of Waves is temporarily on the right track.

Of course, the workers' cooperative established in the Country of Waves can only be regarded as the first branch established, and its headquarters will be established in the Country of Ghosts.

Even if it is a branch, the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, which is backed by the military, has spent all its efforts to establish a branch of the Workers' and Citizens' Cooperative in the Country of Waves.

Although it is a trial work, in the distant future, it may become one of the decisive factors in the reform of the ninja world.

Unlike other countries, Ichiji, who received orthodox education from the Kingdom of Ghosts since childhood, understands the so-called mass line and the power of the masses.

The prosperous Ghost Country seems to be led by her father Chiba Shiraishi, but the overall implementation steps are just simple methods of opening up people's wisdom and emancipating their minds.

The Demon Country's eclectic approach soon attracted all kinds of talents from all over the ninja world, making these talents serve the Demon Country wholeheartedly.

They, who were not ninjas, spent more than ten years building the poor and weak Demon Country into a military power that was not weaker than the five major countries.

Economically, it surpasses any of the five major countries.

These assets will not be revealed on the surface. It is a strategy that her father, Chiba Shiraishi, always likes to use.

Based on this kind of education, Yiji knows very well what kind of hidden power the so-called "mass" has.

Perhaps 99% of them are mediocre people, but as long as the remaining 1% become elites, it will be enough to bring about huge changes in the world.

In the face of such a torrent of change, even the extraordinary power of ninjas may be replaced.

Choosing a balance and union between technology and ninja tradition is the path that the Kingdom of Demons will pursue.

Instead of focusing on the cultivation of a very small number of ninjas day after day, it is better to cover all human beings and use a wide net to make fundamental changes.

How many ninjas are there in the five major countries?

Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand?

However, the total proportion of special jounin and jounin is less than ten percent.

This is the so-called elite ninja number.

But how many humans are there in the ninja world?

This number will be astonishing.

Even if the elites of all mankind account for less than one percent of the total number of humans, their numbers are far from being comparable to that of the ninjas of the five major countries.

The value created by concentrating the wisdom of one percent of the elite to mobilize the labor force of ninety-nine percent of humanity is a level that is probably unreachable in any era of the ninja world so far.

To this end, the Land of Waves is a beginning.

The International Workers' and People's Cooperative is a human community organization proposed based on this concept.

This is by no means the end.

Whether the Kingdom of Ghosts will be destroyed or not, the seeds have already been produced.

Human beings who have acquired fire will only rush forward one after another.

In the face of such will, death becomes extremely insignificant.

Using small countries as the basis, it forms a force to encircle big countries, and at the right time, it crushes the very small part of the 'elite' system in the past.

The Kingdom of Rain fell into civil war.

The Kingdom of Ghosts has begun to intervene.

The Fire Nation and the Earth Nation are eyeing each other.

The Kingdom of Wind is watching from the sidelines.

Although it is not as perfect as planned, the current situation can still be controlled.

Ichihime compared the current structure of the ninja world and began to formally deal with the affairs of the country of waves.

Building a factory is just a cover. Her real purpose has always been to establish a workers' and farmers' cooperative to unify the workers and farmers in the country of Waves.

A people without unity is just a mob, and a people who forms an organization will form an extremely terrifying torrent that will push the wheel of the times forward.

Whether the people's power is strong or not depends on whether it is dispersed or organized.

It has already entered winter. The country of Waves, which is already very humid, has become even colder after entering winter.

The construction progress of the factory is also relatively slow compared to October.

Occasionally, Yiji would go over to ask for help and bring some condolences, which made the workers headed by Dazna feel grateful.

At present, workers’ groups have the largest number of members joining the workers’ cooperatives.

There are more than 1,300 registered workers.

This is Dazna's contribution.

Next are the farmers. There are about 300 registered farmers, and the number is relatively small.

However, Yi Ji is not dissatisfied with this. When these people are gathered together, they can be regarded as an extremely considerable force.

This is the number of people recruited despite the malicious suppression by the daimyo of Wave Country.

If there were no big names from the Kingdom of Waves to interfere, the number of people recruited would be even larger.

The reason is also very simple. The Fire Nation is behind it, noticing the potential harm of worker-civilian cooperatives, and wants to nip the danger in the bud. Compared with the 'new era' that the Ghost Nation wants, the five major nations

The old-style countries headed by them do not need the wisdom of the people, they only need them to obey and be dominated.

If you want to open such an opening in the Country of Waves, the road will undoubtedly be very difficult.

Blood, battle, and the collision of the old and new worlds will eventually form the most barbaric war.

"By the end of this year, the workers' cooperative should be able to recruit 3,000 people."

Looking at the names on the roster, Yiji sat in an office with only simple tables and chairs and made this rough estimate.

At present, 1,600 people have joined. As long as we can win over people's hearts with the most simple interests, it will not be difficult to double the number of members by the end of the year.

After all, this is also a pilot practice.

At present, the workers' cooperatives of the Country of Waves do not have any ability to support the Country of Ghosts. All materials need to be taken out of the Country of Ghosts' own pockets to supply the Country of Waves.

Those who joined were the lowest workers and farmers. They relied on barely self-sufficient production capacity and it was extremely hard just to stay alive, let alone create additional wealth for the cooperative.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you get through this difficulty, the road ahead will be much easier.

Next, based on the number of people and the situation faced by the country of waves, how to invest and how much money to invest need to be calculated by the headquarters.

Whether it is the struggle to emancipate the mind or the violent war between people, it is a very money-consuming behavior.

The reason why the Kingdom of Ghosts dares to intervene in the internal situations of several small countries at the same time is because its economic foundation is solid enough, otherwise it would not be possible to adopt a strategy of multi-front warfare.

"According to the progress, it will not be a problem to recruit 3,000 workers and peasants by the end of the year. By next year, it seems that it will not only be the construction of factories, but also the purchase of other industries to concentrate the idle workers and peasants' labor force."

Cardo said this.

This is also natural.

Ghost Country is not a charity, and it is impossible to give blindly.

If these workers and peasants are unable to create wealth belonging to mankind, then there is no need for investment in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Strive to spend every fund wisely, which is the purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"How's it going in terms of public opinion?"

Yi Ji has been training as a ninja in the stronghold recently and doesn't pay much attention to information from the outside world.

"Basically, we have it under control. After all, we are giving real benefits and using preferential policies to exchange materials and money in the hands of workers and peasants who join the cooperative. Although the method is a bit stupid and consumes a lot of money, it has achieved initial results. Undoubtedly significant."

Using money to clear the way is the simplest and crudest way to win people's hearts.

But again, this method of win-over is very low-level and very easy to be destroyed.

Using money to maintain governance is just like the mercenary model of the Ninja Village. It has more than enough self-preservation but a serious lack of expansion.

"Just continue at this pace. We are not the ones who are anxious now."

The current situation is somewhat similar to the previous war in the Kingdom of Wind.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is all on the offensive side, and every step is taken steadily and steadily. They don't take advantage of the situation and make progress while maintaining stability. They just need to maintain their advantage and crush it with absolute momentum.

Whether it is a competition for military power or economic foundation, compared with the current Fire Country, the Ghost Country has sufficient confidence.

The current Fire Nation is just barely maintaining its throne as the largest nation based on the victory of the Third Ninja War.

But with such a flashy first throne, Ichiji could only see the afterglow of the Fire Nation's decline.

And as the Kingdom of Ghosts continues to grow stronger, the so-called "first" is just the pride of the old era.

As for other countries, the previous Five Shadows Conference has exposed the many contradictions within the five major countries.

What the Kingdom of Ghosts is afraid of is the five great powers that are united, not the five great powers that are dispersed.

"Yes, as the eldest lady said, we are not the ones who are anxious now. We can just wait until they expose their flaws."

Cardo pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and showed a more sinister smile.
