Chapter 408: Competence and Responsibility

"Well, Zora has a point, let's fight the demons first. Kofi, you send someone to get in touch with the devils, and we have to coordinate our positions in advance, especially to ensure the safety of the escape routes in the main continent. ”

With strong support, Luo Zhengdao's waist immediately stiffened a lot, and he made a plan of action on the spot, and everyone present had to nod their heads in agreement, and Brando Scarlet Yan hurriedly said:

"Yes, His Majesty. I'll send someone to do it immediately, do you have any other orders? ”

"Well, keep an eye out for goblins."

Luo Zhengdao finalized the general policy, and then he glanced at the attendees and said:

"What else do you have to report today?"

One of the participants from the General Staff stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the trial wooden track has been laid, the initial test is very successful, and the engineering department asks when to start large-scale promotion."

Hearing the sound, he touched his chin and recalled, linking the cause and effect, Luo Zhengdao remembered that this was the work he arranged, he nodded and said:

"Are you all ready?"

"Yes, His Majesty the King."

"We'll go over later."

Railways were one of the important symbols of industrialization in the Old World, but in the New World, this matter could not be implemented at all. If you dig deeper, there is no other reason, just these two rails are laid, it is the same as a stack of large bills. There is no essential difference between the ticket being thrown on the ground and left unattended, and it is clear that it is tempting others to commit crimes!

Although the market price of metals in the New World is not as high as that of the precious metals of the Old World, gold, silver, and platinum, which are sold at the price of grams, at least comparable to the value of pure copper in the Old World, you think that this is to steal a twenty-meter-long railroad track, even if it is the income from selling the stolen goods at a low price in private, it can be worth the entire amount of money saved by ordinary people working for five years without eating or drinking, and no matter how high the moral standards and harsh laws are, they cannot stop the huge profit impulse of stealing railroad tracks. Because of this, the railroad track can not be used and dare not be used, so it can only be regressed from the technical point of view, and the development of simple wooden rails as a replacement, although the problem of easy damage to the wooden rails is not cured, it is better than making Qiongzhou Prison overcrowded!

Of course, the relatively outdated technology of the wooden rail also has certain advantages, there is no need to wait for the quality of the unstable dìng high-horsepower steam engine to be practical, the light wagon can be pulled directly with two or four horses to go, no matter how low the transportation efficiency is, the rail capacity is also a hundred times stronger than the four-wheeled carriage.

Following the group of people from the General Staff Headquarters to inspect the newly laid dozens of miles of wooden tracks, Luo Zhengdao said with satisfaction:

"We must vigorously develop rail transit, and strive for every town on the island to lay tracks to connect them, so that if the goblin army dares to come again, we can directly pull heavy artillery over to teach them a lesson."

Whether it is a single national strength, or a careful calculation of human, material and financial resources, the Kingdom of Light is far from being the opponent of the Second Goblin Empire. Judging from the comparison of the numbers on paper, this handful of human exiles is properly the rhythm of group annihilation! However, the strength of the human navy is stronger than that of the goblin navy, which is also a fact, even after being transferred to the track of overseas immigration, the goblin fleet, which has been expanded nearly ten times in a short period of time, is still a piece of cake.

If you ask the reason, it is simple, warships can be built and bought, but qualified sailors and naval officers cannot be bought with money, and it doesn't matter whether they are loyal or disloyal when recruiting mercenaries, because everyone knows that mercenaries are unreliable in the first place, and it is not a big problem to expect them to bully others, and it is not necessary to talk about life and death.

Since the repeated failures of the hunt for the human exiled nobleman Will Needham, the Second Goblin Empire, which had a very strong luck in the past, began to continue to memorize words, and the good luck of what to ask for in the initial rise stage was gone, but the things that added to the blockage became endless.

With the bloody war opening up a new battlefield in the main continent, the demons and devils will inevitably affect the surrounding flowers and plants, those large and small alien tribes are certainly frightened and cry out, and the goblins who occupy the lion's share of interests in the main continent can't afford to be left behind, and moving to the right place has become the most realistic and urgent survival need.

Moving a country is not just talking about it, telling people to climb on a boat without bringing anything, it's about fleeing!

Since you are preparing to move, you naturally have to take everything with you, and building a new home also requires a lot of upfront investment, so when you blow a breath, the house, the field or something will emerge from the overgrown wasteland like mushrooms after the rain? Even according to the most optimistic estimates, if this can be done within ten years, the administrative ability of the goblins is so high that it deserves thirty-two thumbs up. In fact, it will probably take 20 to 30 years for the goblin's immigration program to come to an end, and this ambitious immigration project on an unprecedented scale is a big project that can bring down a country.

Regardless of what the goblins think, anyway, they can't run away from the big business of the first day, and the two gangs of ruthless people fought in the yard of the goblin house, and smashed any altars and jars are the loss of the goblins, and this matter is spread on the head of the second empire of the earth overlord goblins, not to mention that they have a lot of fire in their hearts.

I don't know how many thousands of years this war between the devil and the devil has been fought, and I don't know how many more tens of thousands of years will be fought in the future. It's easy to step into it with one foot, and it's very difficult to break a grudge and then want to clear your name and jump out, so although the goblins hate the pair of enemies who shouted and shouted and killed in their own homes, they didn't dare to say anything cruel to the demons and devils, so they could only quickly move the goblin civilians near the war zone after hearing the latest battle situation, and try to reduce the losses.

Needless to say, the grievances swallowed by the goblins were about to catch up with the history of the old world, staring dryly at the hairy bear and the foot basin chicken fighting in the northeast of his hometown, and squatting on the side Waving the flag of neutrality Cixi Lafayette.

In the old world, there was a famous adage that has been fooling people professionally for 30 years, called "With great power comes great responsibility".

The poor unlucky dick Spider-Man was stunned by this sentence, although he read a lot of books, but unfortunately he was not born in law and didn't understand the twists and turns in it. So, without hesitation, Parker took the five cents of his own dry food, and I have to say, this is really a sad story.

Maybe people will feel a little reasonable when they hear this statement at first, but when they calm down and taste it carefully, they will immediately have an inexplicable sense of disobedience, as if something is not quite right, right? Could it be that I opened it the wrong way? Yes, the reason why this statement is called a fool is because it deliberately confuses the principle of reciprocity of rights and obligations, which is a white horse and not a horse quibbling topic.

Bypassing the deceptive tricks will immediately make people understand the crux of the core problem, which should be the original meaning of this sentence should be "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility", that is, how much power you have, how much responsibility you must bear.

Even if a person has the ability, if he does not hold the corresponding position, or has the corresponding power, even if the sky falls, he only has the obligation to save himself, as for whether to save others or not, it completely depends on the moral judgment of the individual, saving people is morally noble, and not saving will not damage morality.

If it is said that a person must be responsible because he has ability, why did those who called for responsibility refuse to empower this person before? Wouldn't he be able to do better than those who are incapable? And why let a bunch of incompetent people steal the high positions, and when the crisis comes, find some people who have not been given power to come forward and take on the heavy responsibilities that the superiors should bear? Those who hold power only need to watch the fire from the sidelines, and at most they will be awarded a medal or something at the end of the matter, and the merit will be considered complete.

For example, someone runs a ranch and keeps all the proceeds from the sale of cattle and sheep in his pocket, without considering vaccinating the cattle and sheep. One day, when the plague came, he suddenly grabbed a veterinarian who was passing through the area and forced him to provide free treatment and services, on the grounds that with great power comes great responsibility, and that you must take on this responsibility to save the herd, and if you refuse, you are a.

Paralyzed, if this happened in real life, it is estimated that no matter who meets it, it is a person who will have the urge to shave their ears!

Those who are capable will not succumb to authoritarianism, and since ancient times, the so-called chivalry has violated the ban by force because they have usurped the judicial power of the state. No matter how the gangsters and bullies brutalize the innocent, the state can turn a blind eye, but the hero killed him, it is true that he is eliminating harm for the people, but it also infringes on the power of the state. Confucianism and literature mess with the law, that is also to rob the country's right to speak, the people have listened to your moral education, who will listen to what the country says? Because of this, the above two kinds of people are regarded as the pests of the country, and the more popular the heroes and the more prestigious Confucians must work hard to suppress them, and not give them the opportunity to increase their momentum, not only to kill them, but also to stink them.

Needless to say, how many heroes died under the iron fist of the state, no ruler is willing to write this kind of black history in the history books, and then look at Confucius, who is known as the master of all ages, has been lecturing and seeking officials all his life, hoping to benefit the people, but traveling around the world but running into walls everywhere, if you speculate from a malicious point of view, you will understand the answer.

When the crisis came, they wisely chose to withdraw to protect themselves, the Second Goblin Empire could ignore the fact that the main continent was in dire straits, anyway, this land was just grabbed by them, and it would not hurt to lose it.

Luo Zhengdao, who was originally out of the matter, had to consider the safety of human refugees and fugitive slaves, others could stand by and watch, but he couldn't, because he was the king of mankind.

Luo Zhengdao, as the greatest power holder, has the obligation to bear the suffering of the entire human race, which is the original intention of the greater the power and the greater the responsibility.

Those stupid people dig out their hearts and tell big lies, in order to shirk their own responsibilities, Luo Zhengdao can't say it, a moral person like him can't compete with those shameless politicians. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he was not the material to be an official, the politics of a person with a face would be tantamount to suicide, and before crossing over, Luo Zhengdao, who was born in a professional class, should have sharpened his head to take the civil service exam.

In short, the situation in the main continent has continued to deteriorate, and before that, tens of thousands, or more than 100,000 humans were brought to Qiongzhou every month from the coastline of the Chishui area, and the number from other channels was also comparable, until the war between demons and demons affected the population of these channels. Although the rapidly growing population has put a lot of pressure on Luo Zhengdao, he is even more afraid of not having a population. There is a story in the history of the Old World that when Xerxes, the king of Persia on an expedition to Greece, saw his mighty army of millions crossing the strait, he suddenly wept with sadness. When asked the reason for his tears, Xerxes replied: "How can I not be sad when I think that in a hundred years there will not be a single person here who will live!" ”

Population is the cornerstone of a country, a person can survive without a country, a country cannot survive without it, do you think this is filming the terminator?

Those who think that the population is a burden are either too self-righteous or simply have ulterior motives, and countries where no one is always called a historical site for people to remember, who wants to be such a historical site?
