The bigger the pattern, the more people know how to balance power-sharing and pressure-sharing. Smart people who have enough knowledge of human nature are not afraid of power being divided, but they are afraid that the cake is not big enough to satisfy the ambitions of too many people. It's like doing business, a small business that makes a million a year, only needs to hire two workers, and the boss can take 90% and only 900,000. An enterprise that earns one billion yuan a year needs the joint efforts of a large group of outstanding people, and the boss only takes 10 percent is also one billion.

Barton is a big man, he's a thorough study of human nature, and he's probably one of the smartest people in the world. That's why he was able to tolerate the separation of powers, and once single-handedly promoted the Council of Elders composed of Germanic nobles.

In the dungeon, the House of Elders is a special place, although it does not have any administrative powers, and is only responsible for some academic research affairs, but it has a pivotal position in the dungeon. Not only because its members are all bigwigs of Germanic aristocratic families who have great influence in the outside world. Also because Schroeder gave the House of Elders the power to administer the dungeon code. And the House of Elders also manages the only university in the dungeon. In both the fields of science and theology, they have many unique research results.

On the eighth floor of the dungeon, the Gestapo represents the specific power of power, while the House of Elders represents the noble and pure spiritual power.

Power without power is a castle in the air, but power without power cannot be ignored.

The power of the House of Elders is great and the potential is even greater, and even Barton does not dare to ignore it. And von Trich's father, Heynckes, was the head of the Dungeon Elders, a brilliant philosopher, and at the same time a terrifying powerhouse. Heynckes is considered to be a student of Schroeder, the most profound scholar of the Dungeon Codex, and the highest authority in the field of spiritual will, who has studied mental telekinesis in a scientific way, and has achieved outstanding results in this regard.

About thirty years ago, Heynckes organized a research team at the Germanic University to specialize in the study of mental power, and about thirty years ago, he organized a team member to do an experiment in which everyone concentrated their mental will to release their mental power through a machine to push a stone, and finally the three-pound stone was actually controlled by mental power and floated in the air. Since then, his team has been working tirelessly in this area. Today, it seems to be the most mysterious force in the dungeon.

Von Trich's words were harsh, and for Barton, who had built a system of power on a cult of personality and theological beliefs, the skepticism was almost unforgivable. But until this moment, Barton's face was already very ugly, but he still endured it and did not have a seizure. Barton was well aware of the importance of the House of Elders, and even more so of the significance of Heynckes' research. At the same time, he needed von Trich's presence to balance Sorge's growing power in the military.

The more ambitious a person is, the more patience they need to match.

In addition to valuing Brother Ono's strength, another very important reason is that Li Muye is not Germanic, and Patton hopes to form a new consensus within the Gestapo that the Gestapo belongs to the newly evolved race, and it does not necessarily have to be Germanic to enter the inner circle of power.

For the Germans, Patton's move would certainly not be accepted lightly. Von Trich's opposition to this matter actually represents the thoughts of some people. Sorge, on the other hand, was simply against Von Trich, and he might not be so happy to accept Li Muye.

The House of Elders has always been neutral between Patton and Schroeder, and some of the elders who have entered here from the outside world are basically dispensable to the outside world, so they are not so opposed to Schroeder. Their relatively young descendants are full of longing for the outside world and have long hated Schroeder's practice of trapping everyone here. That is, within the House of Elders, there is a controversy between the two.

Not only does Patton need the young men of the House of Elders faction to fight with him against Schroeder, but he also needs the Germanic nobles in the House of Elders to continue to assist him in managing the dungeon in the future. At this time, it is obviously unwise to offend the House of Elders for Li Muye. But if he stops there, I am afraid that Patton's absolute authority will be shaken in the future.

"Von Trich, my child. Patton first named von Trich, then turned his gaze to Li Muye, and said: "Li Muye, my good friend, you are all outstanding talents that I value, and you are all elites in the transformation of people, in my heart, we are all the same kind, there is no difference between the Oriental and Germanic, or the Central Saxons, and now there is a contradiction between you, I don't think it's a big deal, we have a common goal and enemy, this is the basis on which we stand together...... ”

Von Trich said: "Teacher, please forgive me for interrupting you, your students don't think this is an internal contradiction, I need to remind you that Mr. Li's wife in the outside world is called Bai Wufang, you don't know what kind of woman it is, in Europe she was a partner of Schroder Laboratories, and in North America, she is our biggest enemy in the outside world." He looked at Li Muye coldly and said, "Mr. Li, can you please explain?"

"A woman has such a great ability?" Barton was surprised.

Li Muye smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have nothing to explain, I came here for three people, before that, I had no plans to join the Gestapo, and I didn't know about Bai Wufang's holiday with you, I got together with her less and more emotionally, and I haven't been in touch for a long time." ”

"But you once sacrificed your life for her!" von Trich sneered, stared at Li Muye's eyes, and said, "Mr. Li, do you want to deny this?"

"You know a lot. Li Muye nodded and said, "It seems that Mr. Grandmaster of the Knights Templar is also one of yours?"

Von Trich said proudly: "We know everything, and you don't need to know what our relationship is with the three knights." ”

Li Muye said: " I don't have anything to explain about this matter, I was Li Muye before I came to the dungeon to be transformed, and now, I am one of the new humans at the top of the evolutionary chain, whether you trust or distrust will not change me, originally I didn't have to join the Gestapo, it was Mr. Patton who pointed me in the right direction, I decided to become his follower, and fight for freedom with all of you, I don't mind fighting with anyone for this matter, this is my explanation, I'm done, who's for and who's against?"

Barton listened attentively, he didn't want to stop there, but he didn't want to offend the House of Elders behind von Trich. At this moment, he needs a knife, sharp, fearless, dare to bear all the consequences, and can help him flatten the murderous knife of the forces of the House of Elders who are unwilling to be completely suppressed and frequently appear! He paused his gaze on Li Muye, and secretly hoped in his heart: If you want to quickly overthrow Schroeder's rule, you must first help me suppress the voices of these first rats.

"I'm against it!" von Trich snapped up: "You ......"

With a bang, Li Muye responded to him with his fist, the two sat relatively close, Brother Ono waved his hand and punched him in the chin, this punch used six points of strength, which was not enough to completely disintegrate Von Trich's combat power, but instead stimulated his anger and fighting spirit, and immediately turned over and stood up and pounced on Brother Ono......
