Feasibility Analysis

After listening to Li Wei's analysis, the students felt as if the clouds had parted and the fog had lifted, and everything ahead suddenly became clear!

They finally knew which path to take.

Had the people of Zaun ever resisted before? Of course. They had resisted more than once throughout history.

However, ten years ago, under the leadership of Vander, the leader of the Black Alley, the people of Zaun, with the fighting personnel of the major Zaun gangs as their backbone, launched an organized armed rebellion against Piltover.

But that rebellion, like any of the previous ones in the past two centuries, failed to even cross the Sun Gate canal bridge. Before they even had a chance to encroach on Piltover's territory, they were slaughtered by the Enforcers and suffered a crushing defeat.

Why did they always fail?

The students didn't understand before, but now they did.

Because in the past, the people of Zaun had always acted blindly on emotion, seeing only the immediate and superficial.

They only thought about overthrowing the people of Piltover who were oppressing them, but they never thought about what to change or achieve after overthrowing the mountain, nor did they seriously analyze the situation of the enemy and ourselves, or the feasibility of their actions.

Without a goal or a plan, the result was that every decade or so, they would make a noisy mess, and then get slapped in the face by the Piltovans, and immediately "gather like a fire, scatter like stars."

Such resistance wouldn't scare the Piltover business owners.

They might even hope that the people of Zaun would come and do this every once in a while, so that they could periodically clear out the rebellious troublemakers among the Zaunites.

But now, Li Wei had arrived.

As soon as he arrived, he made the ultimate goal clear to everyone: to achieve universal harmony in the world in the future.

Then he established a short-term goal for everyone: to achieve the victory of Zaun in the near future.

Now, he had explained the feasibility of the action to everyone: Janna, a goddess whose power was theoretically infinite, was their greatest guarantee of force for future actions.

With this analysis, the answer to the question of what they needed to do next became crystal clear:

"We need to spread Janna's Ideology to more people, attract more believers to join us, and help the goddess Janna restore her power!"

Lina, sitting among her classmates, once again became the class representative.

Her eyes were incredibly focused, her little face flushed with excitement, so engrossed that she almost forgot that the person standing on the stage was her once clumsy and uncouth brother.

"That's right." Li Wei gave his sister an admiring look. "What we need to do next is—"

"Mobilize the masses to the greatest extent!"

"Mobilize... the masses?" These words seemed to carry a natural sense of struggle, and the students' faces flushed with excitement and their blood surged upon hearing them.

"Yes, but everyone must pay attention!" Noticing the overly enthusiastic atmosphere, Li Wei immediately lowered his tone and emphasized to the students:

"What I mean by 'mobilizing the masses' at this stage is to spread our ideology to the masses, attract them to move closer to us, closer to Janna—"

"Not to blindly mobilize the masses to fight and engage in confrontation."

"That is unrealistic and even meaningless."

Li Wei always adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts.

He knew that some methods that worked well on Earth might not work well in Runeterra.

Mobilizing the proletariat to fight sounded very passionate and exciting. It was as if everyone just needed to wrap their heads in yellow scarves and rise up, and the world would immediately be auspicious.

But what if they really did that in Runeterra?

The human environment of Runeterra was still in a very primitive and brutal era.

The power of life and death of the Demacians was still in the hands of the nobles, while the Ionians were subject to various clans and sects.

Zaun, Shurima, Bilgewater, and Freljord were simply in a state of lawless survival of the fittest, where the weak deserved to die.

And the Noxus Empire, as the world's largest slave plantation and war profiteer, the situation there was self-evident.

In this world, human life was very cheap.

The spirit of humanitarianism simply did not exist.

If you dared to resist, they would dare to kill you.

They would kill as many as came, and even if they killed them all, it wouldn't matter.

After all, Piltover was the City of Progress, and they didn't even have to put in much effort. Cheap laborers would flock from all over the world with a "Piltover dream."

The cannon fodder couldn't be uprooted, let alone harvested.

As for the power of the proletariat... in this world, the power of 10,000 ordinary people might not be as great as that of a powerful warrior or a skilled mage.

If there were too many ordinary people, the enemy would not only not be afraid, but might even be excited—

Just like Sivir clearing 100 waves of minions in one go, it was both exciting and decompressing, and the more people there were, the more enjoyable it was to kill.

"The power of the proletariat is indeed infinite, but we cannot dogmatically regard this sentence as the holy scripture guiding all battles, but must find a reasonable way to mobilize and use this power based on the actual situation!"

So what was that method?

Of course, it was still Janna.

In this extraordinary world where great power belonged to the individual, only magic could defeat magic.

"We must mobilize the masses to let the power of their faith belong to Janna, and create an extraordinary powerhouse that belongs to our proletariat!"

"And Janna is a deity shaped by the power of faith. Her existence is destined to prevent her from deviating from her own faith and abandoning the humans who follow her."

Yes, this is Janna's fundamental nature, and it will never change.

Just as a dog is born a dog, and a human is born a human, Janna was born from the Faith of "protecting humanity." As long as she has a breath left, she will forever protect the humans who follow her.

Li Wei could, through his "evil contract" as a Summoner, order Janna to do things she doesn't want to do.

But that would be pointless.

Because if Janna deviates from her own Faith, even if forced, the Faith she gained from those beliefs will no longer be available to her.

The result would only be: the Faith of humanity would, in turn, abandon her, the betrayer, and then naturally create a brand new "New Janna Goddess" who will forever protect humanity.

And Li Wei would also lose his power completely along with Janna.

"So Janna's power is the power of us, the common people."

"She will always stand on the side of the suffering, forever unchanged!"

Li Wei's explanation, which directly revealed the essence of Janna's existence, made Viktor and the students even more enthusiastic:

A goddess with infinite power will always stand on their side!

What they are doing definitely has hope!

"Then, then how should we start promoting?" one student asked excitedly, "Where to start? Who should we promote to? How should we promote?"

After the ultimate goal, short-term goals, and feasibility analysis, it was finally time to talk about the specific operational steps.

In the hearts of these Zaun students, Li Wei was just like the experimental class teacher they had seen at the Hextech Academy.

He didn't seem to be lecturing them on politics or discussing the big picture, but rather guiding them to complete a scientific plan, a rigorously designed scientific experiment with clear and complete steps.

Sure enough, Li Wei didn't disappoint everyone this time:

"Where should the promotion start, and with whom? That's a good question."

"And to figure out this question, we must first figure out the most important question—"

"In Piltover and Zaun, who will sympathize with us, and who will oppose us?"

"This..." The students fell into deep thought.

Soon someone answered, "The Piltover Council, and the financial groups and wealthy families that control the Piltover Council, are our enemies!"

"And... those who look like Zaunites, but are actually colluding with Piltover business owners, the Zaun Chem-Barons, are also our enemies!"

"Well said!" Li Wei added in agreement, "I analyzed the sins of the Piltover merchant class in my previous article."

"And the Zaun Comprador class, represented by some Chem-Barons, seem independent, but are actually completely economic appendages of these Piltover merchant classes."

"These people are Zaun's most backward production relations. They only want to forever rely on Zaun's cheap labor to supply Piltover with low value-added minerals, chemical raw materials, and mechanical parts, earning a little bit of leftovers."

"They don't want to develop science and technology at all, and they don't want to achieve industrial upgrading, because that would offend the Piltover masters who firmly occupy the high-end market, and it would affect their stable position in this spoils system—"

"So in a sense, these Zaun Compradors are even more evil than the Piltover merchants."

"The Piltover merchants at least have a promoting effect on technological progress, while these Zaun Compradors only want to hold on to their own territory and hinder the development of productivity!"

Li Wei's explanation exposed the ugly faces of the enemies one by one.

Everyone clearly understood who their enemies were.

But some students still asked:

"Then, Teacher Li Wei, what about the Piltover civilians?"

"Are they our enemies?"

As soon as this question was raised, there were differences of opinion on the scene.

Because Li Wei had learned from the original owner's memory and from Baku's narration that the most direct oppression that Zaunites can feel in Piltover is not from those high-ranking business owners, but from the Piltover civilians who appear in front of them every day with discriminatory eyes.

Say these Piltover people are friends?

The Zaunites would be the first to curse.

But to say that these ordinary citizens are enemies... it doesn't feel quite right.

"The ordinary people of Piltover are certainly not our enemies."

"But we can't naively regard them as friends either."

"If you regard the Twin Cities as a whole, you may be able to understand that these so-called Piltover bottom layers are not actually the bottom layers. They are actually one level higher than the Zaun poor, and are the middle class occupying the middle of the pyramid."

As soon as Li Wei said this, everyone reacted.

The Twin Cities only seem to be two cities, but they have always been one.

Those Piltover civilians who are theoretically also at the bottom are actually born superior to Zaunites.

"They are not our enemies, but they have already been bought by the Piltover's powerful merchant class with the excess profits they have extracted from Zaun and around the world through their technological and financial hegemony."

"These middle classes who live in houses and eat steak also belong to the group of people who don't want to change the status quo. So it is difficult for them to understand the struggle we are going to carry out—"

"We can try to win over some of them, but we must never regard them as the focus of our early publicity and struggle work."

The enemies have been identified, and it is difficult to win over the civilians of Piltover in the short term.

Next, the question of who is a friend is easy to figure out:

Those were Zaun's impoverished masses.

Due to Zaun's extreme semi-colonial and semi-primitive societal conditions, aside from the Chem-Barons and their cronies who comprised a tiny minority, almost everyone else was part of the utterly destitute class – and a progressively industrialized one at that.

"They are concentrated, economically disadvantaged, with almost no hope of getting rich, and subjected to extremely cruel treatment by the Chem-Barons and merchant class. These people are our natural allies."

"But right now, we're in Piltover, our enterprise is just starting, and our strength is weak. We can't yet establish a foothold in Zaun and begin our work, so..."

Li Wei pointed out the specific direction of their work:

"What we need to do right now in Piltover is to use every possible means to carry out our propaganda work among Zaunian students, Zaunian apprentices, and new Zaunian immigrants!"

"While finding ways to accumulate manpower, financial resources, and material resources, we will also strengthen Janna's power by promoting Faith. Ultimately, at a suitable moment—"

"We will return to Zaun, to the place where the contradictions are most acute!"
