057. Humanitarianism (Part 1)

"This matter is quite complicated... I need to explain it to you carefully."

Chen Siqi knocked on her head, pondered for a moment, and said:

"You know the Frost-Plated Republic, right? They have excessively good treatment for women. This is a tactic used by the upper leadership to divert conflicts."

"I don't understand history," Qiu Ran shook her head.

"Alright—this matter needs to be traced back a long time ago, so I'll make a long story short."

Chen Siqi leaned over and said in a low voice:

"The founders of Frost-Plated, the twin queens Yali Qin and Moting Qin, seized power through a military coup. They promptly addressed the apocalyptic disaster, becoming the dictators of Frost-Plated, consolidating power to protect most of Frost-Plated's population. They especially constructed numerous fusion reactor towers, helping Frost-Plated become one of the three most powerful countries after the sun disappeared. Therefore, the twin queens are revered idols in the hearts of Frost-Plated people."

"Three countries?" Qiu Ran was surprised. "Isn't it the Four Nations?"

"Red Arrow rose to power later. No, it should be called revenge."

Li Aozhi casually dismissed:

"I know the later history: the world powers reshuffled, and severe resource wars broke out among nations."

"Due to Frost-Plated being troubled by the influenza problem at the time, they were reluctant to go to war, which led to significant losses when they were forced into the conflict. Yali and Moting, the twin queens, deeply resented the world war and blamed men's existence as the root cause of wars, attributing all sins to men."

"And this became an opportunity for new female politicians to rise after reconstructing the republic."

"They leveraged the prestige of the twin queens. Initially, Frost-Plated men were targeted, and with the support of capital and academia, they began reducing the number of men in higher education. Using various 'experts' papers and reports, they claimed that in the future, more meticulous and patient women would be the main force of society, and that women had higher consumption power—using this rhetoric, they ultimately suppressed men's status, leading to the current situation."

"You know quite a bit." Chen Siqi took a deep breath and said, "But in reality, many people overlook one problem."

"In the armies of any country on this planet, men overwhelmingly dominate. The strength gap between men and women is too vast. Even if the new female government controls politics, judiciary, and public opinion, they cannot control the military."

"Without violent institutions, how can you call yourself a regime? How can you claim to be a country?"

"Frost-Plated only relied on national interests binding and propaganda to suppress men's status. But they haven't truly mastered a pure, powerful all-female army that can rival the other three nations."

"So..." Li Aozhi squinted. "Frost-Plated wants to overtake in a curve?"

"Yes."

Chen Siqi said calmly:

"The upper echelon of Frost-Plated believes: women must be given power, every woman must have power surpassing men."

"Nowadays, the Four Nations, by monopolizing energy, no longer worry about population issues. Even if all the men died, they could accept refugees from the outer world. Frost-Plated women never liked local men anyway. By accepting refugees, they gain a good reputation and moral high ground. In fact, many current Frost-Plated people are descendants of outer world refugees. Their skin isn't as pale anymore due to exposure to artificial sunlight—but only by truly mastering power can women be liberated."
