"That's a good question," Tianming nodded and replied, "The country will not have anything to lose, but will gain a powerful ally." ”

"Commander!" The officer was anxious and said, "Aren't you doing this to create a split?" The state has supported you with more than 50 million people, and if you do this, won't these 50 million people become your personal power? In doing so, not only does it destroy the unity within a country, but the danger it creates is also very great! Isn't the state's investment in this area a huge loss? ”

"Commander, your ability is very strong, and your character is also very respectable, but the trend of social development is ultimately in the direction of freedom, democracy, and equality, and the rights of individuals cannot be above the broad masses of the people. Another officer also stood up.

Since entering the contemporary society, such things as imperial power, family power, and authoritarianism, because of their huge destructive power and extreme characteristics, are no longer accepted by the general public, and even classified as the garbage heap of history, which should be knocked down and overthrown.

For these officers, the idea of acceptance has never been to be loyal to a certain person, to serve the country, and to defend the people. It is their lofty ideals and missions, and their pride is to be able to speak to others with their chests held high. He was a Navy soldier who served the people.

But now there is a person who asks them to be loyal to him and accept the responsibilities and missions he has given them, which is undoubtedly a difficult change to accept, even if this person is extremely powerful. The character is extremely noble, and it can even bring more and greater benefits to oneself. But after a violent conflict with the concept in my heart, it is still difficult to accept.

"Commander, it's not good to do this......"

"Commander, we have very, very much respect for you. But ......"

"Commander, please think twice......"

After the two officers raised objections, the other officers also spoke freely and expressed their disagreeing opinions.

"Lin Mo, what do you think?"

Tianming didn't rush to explain, but said to Lin Mo, who was sitting not far away.

Lin Mo is the captain of the Second Meteorite Strike Group of the Sky Fighter on the Starship Scavenger No. 1, so he is naturally qualified to sit in the ranks of the participants, but his personality is relatively quiet and not very good at words, so he has been in a state of not expressing his opinion.

Now Tianming asked him by name. Naturally, the attention of all the officers was focused on him.

Lin Mo was slightly stunned, thought for a while and said, "Commander, I don't have any opinion on this matter. If the situation is better than I imagined, I am naturally willing to stay here and work, if it is not the same as I imagined, I can only go back to the other side of the earth, I hope that the commander can explain the reasons and reasons why he did this, and give everyone a reason to convince everyone. ”

Lin Mo is very good at kicking ball. This mud and ...... Tianming was a little impressed by Lin Mo, a guy who is usually quiet, but he was not disappointed. Lin Mo's answer was quite in line with his wishes.

Seeing that the officers were focusing on themselves, Tianming cleared his throat and said: "I think you also know that this plane is not the same as the earth, there are many things that the earth does not have, here, things here, different things on the earth, you should be very clear about this." ”

"As for the issue of unity, you are talking about? Joke, as long as it's a country that brings everyone together, that's unity? Don't you know that the time here is three times as long as on the other side of the earth? In the future, the population here, the science and technology here, and the exhibition degree here will gradually pass the earth, and the exhibitions in all aspects will be faster and faster, coupled with the early advent of the interstellar era, the population of the red giant star will soon exceed one billion, ten billion, and one hundred billion in the future...... The potential for exhibition here is far greater than that of the earth. ”

"At that time, will the universe here listen to the earth, or will it gradually embark on the road of exhibition?"

"Commander, you can build a door to space, and the two planes will be spread out at the same time."

"I'm not that noble!"

Tianming glared at the officer, and then continued: "Everyone has selfishness, but it is necessary to divide big selfishness into small selfishness, harmful selfishness and harmless selfishness, you imagine: When we enter the interstellar age, with dozens of habitable planets and hundreds of billions of people, is it really possible for a single country to control the vast territory and space?" ”

"Besides, let's talk about our country, democratic centralism, in the interstellar era in the future, can power still be concentrated in the hands of those few people?"

"Moreover, I also said that people have selfishness, this selfishness is based on the amount of resources and the height of personality, the more resources, the higher the probability of selfishness, and at that time it cannot be called 'selfishness', for example, when you own a universe, occupy a planet, this can be called 'selfishness'? This is especially true in the interstellar era, in front of tens of thousands of planets, after a person has appeared on a planet that has never appeared, he declares that this planet is his, and every part of this planet belongs to him, this cannot be called 'selfishness', but 'luck'. ”

"As for what you said, to be honest, I don't have much confidence in the country on the other side of the earth, even if there has been a significant improvement in the past few years, it does not mean that our country is a perfect country, a country without defects! It's just that some of the problems haven't been exposed at the moment, and you can guarantee that the country will continue to get better in the future? No problem. Tianming asked rhetorically.

"But at least that's better than one man ruling a country, right?" The words of an officer came from below.

Tianming looked at the officer like an idiot, and said with a stern expression: "Before that, I need you to understand a concept: this plane, these planets, did not appear out of thin air, nor did they fall from the sky, but because I found it, you had the opportunity to come here." If I don't want to, I can pay the state a sum of money to bring all the personnel and equipment back to the earth, and from then on I will close the door of space and have no contact with the country! ”

"Commander—"

The officer's face was panicked and he wanted to refute, but one of the people next to him quickly grabbed him and kept signaling him to be cautious.

"I know what you're trying to say, but from my point of view, it's understandable, because I'm not a selfless person, and I have selfish intentions!"

Tianming turned his head, shifted his gaze from the officer, glanced at the crowd, and continued: "As for what you are worried about, the issue of the object of allegiance, I said very clearly, there can only be one! In the future, I will also make it clear to the country that the country's political system cannot be extended to the red giant, there is only one country, and that is the one on the earth! ”

"As for your fears, one man rules a country,...... This situation will not be born. Because I don't have that much energy to run a huge country except for the army. In the future, I will establish a complete and benign social system, fairness, equality, democracy, freedom, happiness and harmony, and for a society that has entered the interstellar age, the problem of resources will no longer be the fundamental contradiction that restricts social development, class contradictions, and will not be brought here, and everyone will enjoy the most basic dignity and human rights. ”

Tianming concluded: "In short, my purpose in doing this is not to see in the future that as a person who has given the most, but he does not get due returns, and he takes out my things, but is taken for granted, and even may conflict with certain forces in the future, becoming a thorn and stumbling block in their side, and there is no guarantee of safety...... It's not that I'm worrying about the sky, but I've said a long time ago that people are selfish, and this kind of selfishness is harmful and harmless, and I think that my selfishness will not be dangerous to others. ”

"So, I hope you think about this well, the task of removing the meteorite, you can also take a break for a while, just like Lin Mo said, if you don't want to, you can return to Earth, if you want, you can continue to stay here and complete your mission, and I, I will also arrange a new career path for you...... You'd better give this question to all the soldiers on this starship, and I'll wait for your answer. ”

After the meeting, Tianming left a group of frowning and thinking officers Ruan Zisi, went to the canteen on the starship, sat near the window, and had a simple space lunch with Lan Luo.

Lan Luo ate a piece of chicken steak, looked at Tianming's eyes and asked, "Husband, the transformation of the red giant star is not over yet, why do you want to give these soldiers such a big problem?" ”

Tianming's eyes were deep, and he looked at the beautiful space outside the window for a while, and said: "There is power in the barrel of the gun, these soldiers are my guns, don't exert pressure now, hold them in a firm hand, in the future, how can I control this universe?" The army here can only be controlled by me! ”

"Alas~" Lan Luo sighed, "You, your sense of power is too heavy." ”

"There's no way, I have to think about our future."
