Chapter 33: The Seven Deadly Sins: The Bounty

The capitals, provinces, prefectures, and prefectures of the empire were parallel first-level administrative regions directly under the imperial government, but each capital, province, prefecture, and prefecture had military autonomy. The office of the pen is called www.biquge.info the government, that is, the capital office, the provincial office, the government office, and the county state, and the chief executive is called the governor.

The empire was divided into forty-seven first-class administrative regions: one capital, one province, two prefectures, and forty-three states.

The empire had a number of cities, towns, and villages under each metropolis, province, prefecture, and prefecture. Its offices are called government offices, i.e., city halls, town offices, and village offices, and the chief executive is called mayors, town heads, and village heads.

By virtue of force and prestige, the Empire occupies an unparalleled dominance in the entire planetary domination system, with most of the regions firmly under control, and only the most remote and dangerous areas are left to the domination of other powers.

The powerful empire arrogantly proclaimed that the Eight Pillars and One Universe were immortal. Eight Hong Yiyu means one family in the world, and Shenzhou is the self-proclaimed empire, and the empire considers itself to be the people of God, and the country in which it is located is also protected by God. The empire has always propagandized like this: tens of billions of people are always broken jade, the grass is like mud, and the mountains and fields are creeping, and they are sure that Shenzhou will not be destroyed and the imperial kingdom will exist forever.

In a way, the Aegis people's claim to be the eternal nation, the light of hope in the universe, and the power of the Federation comes from God, it is nothing more than some kind of self-absorbed propaganda of the government. This kind of propaganda will only make those who have enough to eat feel fanatical and proud, and will not make those who have not even had enough to eat, because they have no strength to fanatize, or they would prefer the current rulers to die.

Their protests were carried out by rioting and killing, washing away the hatred in their hearts with the blood of their oppressors. Nothing could have made their ruling order worse for the Empire, and since the absurd intervention in the former Rossia Empire (the All-Russian Soviet Union), the salutes from the Red Empire on the other side have been somewhat unbearable, and the constant ideological invasion is a shock to the traditional view of the imperial state.

The idea of the supremacy of the emperor was once accepted by the people of the entire empire, but since the defeat in the last great battle with Assyria, pessimism has been spreading, and disappointment with the government has turned into distrust of the emperor.

Isn't it said that the empire is protected by Shinto? Isn't it absolutely and absolutely incapable of failure? Isn't it the Shenzhou Empire? Since it is a country of the gods, how can a country blessed by the gods be defeated by a country of mortals? Although allegiance to the emperor is still the pride of the people of the empire, the era when the whole people are fanatical about the same faith is gone forever, and new beliefs are beginning to appear. For example, an opponent that cannot be defeated. For any kingdom that worships the strong, the faith from the invincible enemy is always fascinating, and people will always look forward to everything that the strong have and despise everything that the weak.

The culture of the empire has traditionally believed that the things of the strong are naturally good, and everything that the weak should be discarded. Failure is a coward's act, and a true warrior cannot speak of defeat lightly. For those who can't accept defeat, it's a relief to accept the faith of your opponent.

It was precisely because of the failure of the intervention that the Suvili faith was very attractive to the subjects of the empire.

There was a cry among the people: what can't be solved with a katana, let's solve it with a sickle.

Many gatherings sprung up in various parts of the empire, a situation not seen since Emperor Yoshiman's accession to the throne. The Empire's perception of these assemblies was one of wariness and hostility, and they saw them as a group of dangerous people who had gathered together to whisper and plot terrible atrocities against the state.

The military usually has only one method, because they know one: kill people, and if one is not enough, they will kill more people.

As the adage goes, "He commands me to judge, and He will judge me." Where there is violence, there will be more violence. The military headquarters slaughtered everywhere, and the relatives and friends of the slaughtered carried out retaliatory attacks.

In the 45 years of righteousness, violence has permeated every street. The army went from house to house, and it is said that a policeman burned down an entire shop and its people when he passed by because of the red song coming from the store.

Just as the military ministry issued a call for the rectification of the national system, the cabinet was divided again.

The prime minister seemed to convince everyone of the importance of military expansion, but his opponents fought back even more violently, bringing out the "Fleet Treaty" signed with the Aegismen, in which the tonnage of the empire's fleet was strictly limited. Now the prime minister had no reason, so he scolded everyone for being ghosts and animals, and they were all villains with Changyi ambitions.

Scenes of him swearing were filmed, as were scenes of opposition chatter.

Then there was a sensation among the people, and all kinds of accusations fell on the politicians. People say that criticizing the prime minister is not low-key, and that he has caused big trouble with Prince Miyamoto, but everyone has forgiven him, and if he doesn't learn his lesson, what will happen now.

Those who oppose the Prime Minister are also not recognized, and people say that they are purely against the Prime Minister for the sake of opposing it, and opposing the Prime Minister does not come up with a better solution.

The military department immediately called for the correction of the national system, and then took the opportunity to put forward the call of the Qing monarch, and the result was that it received a lot of support. It seems that the rainstorm of a military coup is coming, and there is something deeper hidden behind the will of the army.

In view of this dangerous situation, the cabinet officials are powerless and have no intention of confronting, and they do not want to cause any trouble, and all the officials who cause trouble have been assassinated by the military department, and none of them want to be killed by someone who suddenly shouts "heavenly punishment" when they are sleeping at night.

Dog Yi was shot and killed in the street because of his public resistance to the military headquarters, and no one dared to make any moves at this time, even if they were not afraid of death, they still had their families.

A year was spent in all kinds of chaos.

Walls were erected in every street of the empire, people of different faiths attacked each other, and battles between royalists and freedmen were so frequent that a large number of neighborhoods were completely destroyed in the fluctuations of the fighting. The brutality of the police was even more horrific, with a large number of innocent people being executed under the label of red.

Even the military headquarters, which seems to be an iron-clad fortress, is facing each other internally. The Army and Navy naturally harbor mistrust and hostility, both because of the dispute over military spending and because of the question of strategic orientation.

The more chaotic and dark the time, the more it is the time when faith plays a role in sustaining people to continue to be filled with strong faith. Chaos has long been ordered, and after the great chaos, even more rigid order is soon established. The new situation dominated by the military is the terrible situation in which people are locked up under layers of rationing. People are even asked what they eat.

The military department has its own set of arguments, and they claim that everything is for the emperor, and it should be the duty of the people of the imperial kingdom to endure hardships and stand hard work.

According to the style of the military department, those who do not meet the requirements are disloyal, and then they must be punished.

It is clear that in this particular new period, they are doing so in a very stupid way.

The spirit of the empire is not the same as before, and the people of the empire were naturally very willing to do anything in the past, but now with the formation of pluralism, the human mind has long since ceased to belong to the kind of fanatical era that could be easily stirred up by a few words of blood, and the grand ideal can only survive in the well-fed people.

The backlash against the control of the military department and the civilian outburst is terrible.

The 50 million National Guard Army is no joke, people have formed the so-called National Guard under various banners to rebel against the military headquarters, even the monks in the monastery have appeared in the ranks, and many traditional samurai who have been defeated in the Archaic era have also taken the opportunity to come out to make trouble, which is another big disaster for the empire after the rice riots......

Although the military department may seem stupid at times, the murderous Imperial Army under its command is obviously not something that the ridiculous 50 million National Guards can defeat, and the Rising Sun Empire is an empire that pays great attention to military affairs. Because of the samurai tradition, the military has always been known for being good at fighting and not afraid of death.

Although they are not the strongest among countless empires, they are also first-class.

There have been some signs of corruption in recent years, but in any case, at least they are not to the point of being defeated by civilian forces.

Under the iron heel of the imperial army, all resistance was wiped out. But then the military headquarters welcomed a new enemy, Aum Shinrikyo.

A very cruel church that believes in the gods of the blood sea.

They worship the color red, but it is not the red of red truth, but they must spray blood when they die, and most dangerously, they hate power and want to establish an Aum Empire...... For the military department, it was unacceptable for the Rising Sun Democratic Republic or the Aum Empire.

One red truth is enough, and then there is an Aum truth. Even the bigwigs in the military department began to complain about why the multiverse could not have such a concept as militaristic truth that was in their interests. If so, why is it so troublesome.

Fortunately, this Aum Shinrikyo seems to be just an organization pretending to be a god and a deceitful ghost, and there is no divine power to help them do anything at all.

After the elimination of Aum, the military department began to compete with the old opponent again...... In peacetime, they became bandit brigades.

The Natsume Group of the Imperial Secret Service Division had earlier received an order from the Ministry of War to investigate the perpetrators of a bombing in Tsugawa City, a city under the jurisdiction of Gunma Prefecture.

The actual task was told to everyone by the diminutive Natsume Takayama Daisa when he got to the place.

In this part of Tsugawa City, there was a workers' rally. The people who took part in this rally were all the most influential people elected by the workers' circles, that is, those who were the most restless. The military department demanded that they kill all of them, by any means, but no one could perceive that this was the government's intention.

The elite team of the Imperial Secret Service Division sent here is also not highly motivated because of this. Originally, it would take a long time to delay the things that could be solved soon, but now it is the time of the New Year, and this kind of tossing thing is their turn.

The elite team is struggling with the team leader, Adjutant Natsume, for the scene in front of them.

In another place, red can't spread. Naturally, it is the most anti-red place in the multiverse, the blue palace of Slan Lee Ekmond.

Slan Lee Ekmund smiled, his face was beautiful, but his smile was cold, and he put down the document sent by the Aegis Federation Council in his hand. I saw that a special symbol was marked on the document, signed.

The Aegis had a bad relationship with the neighboring Inca nation since the Battle of the Alamo, and a hundred years of peace since George Armstrong Custer's cavalry regiment raided the Cherokee League and the Apache Empire in the Inca nation were shattered by the Battle of the Alamo (the cavalry regiment led by Custer was the Federation's space fleet). Many armies in the United States still use ancient designations, such as arquebus garrisons, which are actually magnetic stormtroopers equipped with electromagnetic armor).

The battle of the Alamo ended with a complete victory for the Aegismen. The Inca nation complained to the Alliance about this, and after being expelled on the grounds of being vexatious, Slan met with the Aegis representatives.

Just looked at him until the end, handed him the papers, and smiled at him:

"Friendship is interdependent, and happiness is derived from each other's actions. Family affection is interdependent, and it is an obsession that is psychologically unwilling to let go. And love is a mutual take, and it is between the heart-to-heart communication that produces the sweetness of love.

The alliance and your country are love and kinship, and friendship with the Incas is not even good. ”

The national representative of the Aegis people instantly said long live friendship, long live Mr. Slan's justice, and then left with a cheerful expression.

Si Lan's purple eyes looked at the various documents on the table, first showing a hint of interest, and then just a kind of uninterested, he sat on the chair expressionlessly and picked up the cup and drank it.

He remembered a quote from Machilivia.

"The rulers of all nations are like lions and foxes, lions can intimidate wolves, foxes can find the cunning of traps, but they cannot have both courage and cunning. That kind of person can't be a leader. ”

"A perfect person can't be a leader, hmph," Slan snorted softly, and said to the female secretary beside him, "Go and call the hunters, it's time to hunt." ”

The female secretary's body dived into the ground, and after a while, the five of them entered the blue palace.

One female, four male.

The only woman was an assassin in black leather armor, armed with a katana, and with a grim look on her face.

As for the males, Silan didn't pay much attention.

Although she was a beauty, she did not make Mr. Slan happy at all, for the simple reason that he had to pay her a lot of money.

"Are these five the most famous bounty hunters in the multiverse?" he asked the female secretary who had returned.

The red-haired female secretary deliberately whispered in his ear that everyone could hear, and replied, "Not the most famous, but they are the strongest, two warriors of the rising sun, specializing in assassination, they are both legendary samurai, and they are no longer mortals in the entire imperial era.

A Xianbei archer named Ohno, the surname Ohno was originally a title that only the noble warriors of Xianbei had, and it was said that his bow and arrow could shoot through a sun.

An alien with a long name, still wanted by the Alliance, I brought it from my hideout in my hometown and hired him.

The combat power of these people is amazing. By the way, there's also a 'hound' from Assyria, who is a master of tracking and camouflage. ”

"Is their asking price expensive?" asked Silan through gritted teeth, "if they dare to offer unrealistic prices, they will all be driven away." The female secretary comforted, "No, the price is not a problem, are they capable enough?"

"Give it a try and you'll find out. The female secretary said to him with a smile. She then stood up and gave the bounty hunters a haughty look, "Show your employer what you're capable of, he doesn't need incompetent people in the ranks." ”

None of the five people responded, and there was silence for a while, but the warrior of the Rising Sun with short hair stepped forward and said, "It's no problem, the key is how much you can give." ”

"Oh, kind of interesting, haha. Silan smiled, "Well, depending on your performance, if I'm satisfied, a tenfold increase in the bounty is a matter of adding zero to me." ”

The samurai seemed satisfied, and after she bowed, she turned to look at the four male colleagues with a look of disdain, as if to say, "Whoever will come first." ”

The Xianbei people snorted, still clasping their hands to their chests, in the Xianbei tribe, it was a shame to accept a woman's challenge.

The alien doesn't react, and maybe it's thinking about something that humans don't understand.

Lando Dononi, the 'hound' from the Assyrian Army, only let out a contemptuous "cut" at the beginning, and then just stared intently at the glass around the palace, without any intention of stepping forward.

"Arrogant, let's try the girl's strength in the next place. Of the four, only another warrior of the Rising Sun stepped forward, and of the five, he was clearly the weakest one, short and thin.

He waved the knife in his hand, and the light swept forward like a rainbow through the sun, and that light had the demonic power to devour everything. "This guy, no wonder he looks like a poor ghost, he's afraid that he will even kill his employer. When the Xianbei saw that the light covered the opposite employer, they scoffed.

"It's better if both of them die, so you can get an extra commission. The Assyrians thought to themselves.
