Chapter 254: Chloe's Story (Part II) (2-in-1)

"Why do you care so much about my opinion? You've even done such a thing as being a terrorist, so how can you care about other people's eyes? Heliga was puzzled by this, why did Chloe have to know what others thought when he had already done such a thing?

"You're right, I really don't need approval...... It's just that I'm sometimes curious about what I look like from the standpoint of ordinary people. Chloe thought for a moment and said, "However, people in this world have their own positions, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get answers from them. ”

"So you mean I'm absolutely objective?" Heliga asked softly, "Surely not." I am also the one who chose a position in this civil war. You asked me to judge your behavior......"

"I just think that if it were you, you would be able to get the most fair and objective ideas." Chloe said, "How so...... It's that you are a person who is a little beyond the framework of the world, and you can always get some ideas and conclusions that are extremely cold, but very correct. You just have to think about it from this perspective. ”

"If you insist on saying that...... "Helliga shrugged his shoulders, "from a relatively objective point of view, your actions are a little incomprehensible, and a little stupid and unreasonable." ”

"Why?" Chloe's face does not change color.

"First of all, for the purpose itself...... You said before that you murdered the prime minister to fight for your grandfather, right? But the problem is that your grandfather did not die as a prime minister or assassin sent by the imperial government, but because of his conservative economic strategy, he was abandoned by the people of Julai. In the whole process, it is nothing more than that the country of Julay is too weak compared to the empire, and your grandfather can't reverse the situation at all, and he can't change the reality. He couldn't figure this out himself, so he was depressed, and although it was unfortunate, it was difficult to put the blame on the prime minister. If I were you, I would hate the councillors of Julay even more than Prime Minister Osborne, who ruthlessly abandoned your grandfather in order to cater to the capital integration of the empire, for their own interests. It is more logical to kill them than to kill the prime minister. ”

"What else?" Chloe's face changed slightly, but his tone remained on the same channel as he continued to ask.

"What if it was not Prime Minister Osborne, who diplomatically resolved the legacy of the Liber Hundred Days War, and thus gained the emperor's trust, but the aristocratic leaders of the Empire's main war faction who had the upper hand at that time? I'm afraid that Julay will be reduced to ruins directly under the steel torrent of the Empire. In this case, it would not be surprising if you became a terrorist against those in power in the empire. What's more, your argument doesn't seem to have paid attention to such rights and wrongs in the first place, and just wanted to breathe this out...... But I don't think the prime minister took you and your grandfather's affairs to heart at all. ”

"Was it the underestimation of the enemy that led to his defeat......?" Chloe repeated softly.

"No...... I don't think he ever regarded your grandfather as an enemy at all. Heliga shook his head, "He's just the operator of the state apparatus of the Empire, and your grandfather is the same character in another smaller country. They just play on that basis. The two sides are far apart in terms of available resources, information and intelligence, economic strength, and military strength, and this is simply an impossible situation to win. Your grandfather's insistence is meaningless in the eyes of the citizens of Julai, and the rapid development of the country brought about by the strong capital injection of the empire is the root of what people want to see. It is simply impossible for Julay to rally around a certain person, a certain faith, or a certain royal family, to have a strong sense of self and nationality, trying to distinguish himself from foreign invaders...... Julay is just such a country that goes with the flow, a piece of grass on the wall that has no position of its own, and only moves in the direction of interests. In this case, want to bring the country together against a behemoth that is simply a good thing in the eyes of the people? The Julay people will only think that your grandfather is a fool, or that he has accepted the benefits of the rivals of the empire, and does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of everyone for his own efforts, not only will they not appreciate his efforts, but they will also feel that he is the one who gets in the way. ”

After listening to Helliga's words, Chloe's face was cloudy, changing and changing, but in the end, the words he said were unusually calm: "...... It's really merciless, poking at my sore spots. ”

"That's the truth...... It's ugly, but that's what you asked me to say. Heiliga sighed, "Or maybe I'm just saying that you've long understood the fact that during your internship at Julai, you should have felt the changes since you left, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Thriving and thriving, that's exactly what the Imperial Special Economic Zone should be. The people are happy and rich, and although there are new problems, and there are more ugly slums, most people do ......," Chloe nodded.

"It was they who chose the empire and abandoned your grandfather. Prime Minister Osborne, on the other hand, just did what he had to do, and in an extremely clever way, through diplomatic and economic means...... No one died, and no one was injured. The end result is that everyone is happy, and the only thing that is in the way is your grandfather. It was the people of Julai who made all this happen, and it was the parliamentarians of Julay who made the people of Julai completely let down their guard against the empire and greeted the arms of the imperial capital with open arms under the overwhelming propaganda offensive. Who is the one you should take revenge on? Or, if you want to punch back, who are you going to swing your fist at? ”

“…… You're right. However, Grandpa doesn't seem to care about these things either...... At the end of the day, it's all my own wishful thinking. Chloe thought for a moment, "Grandpa never blamed the councillors before he died...... In fact, he was indeed overwhelmed, and the insults and ridicule among the people broke his heart, and finally became like that. ”

"That shows that he is indeed a very professional politician, and he understands that the entanglement of interests has nothing to do with personal feelings, especially for those who control the state apparatus."

"Yes...... Grandpa doesn't hate parliamentarians, he doesn't hate the prime minister, he just hates his own incompetence and the pain that this incompetence has brought to him. "But I still don't think I've done anything wrong...... If I really go back to Julai, create some terrorist attacks against civilians, or assassinate the parliamentarians who caused my grandfather to step down before...... Then I think I'm the real ...... There will be no return. ”

"It means that you still have kindness and reserve in your heart, so you can remain indifferent to those people instead of rushing for revenge." Just like Ling misunderstood her biological parents, when she watched her parents hug her newborn, her younger brother by blood, her whole body was trembling with grievances and hatred, and even Levi said "You can decide for yourself", which can be regarded as almost explicit, and Ling just said softly, "I live a happy life...... That's fine," and then forced his grief to leave, "And why did you make Osborne quite an opponent......?" ”

"......" Chloe was speechless at the same time, he really hadn't thought about it. Why did he treat Zai as the one who did all kinds of evil from the beginning? If you really want to talk about responsibility, he is not even the first person responsible.

Is it because the prime minister's personal strength is too strong, so that people have forgotten that he is just a mortal, and he will definitely die if he is shot through the heart with a sniper rifle? Or is it that the power of the prime minister has turned into an excuse for himself: when a man steals food from the unarmed poor, he may feel guilty about bullying the weak, but what if a man can snatch a large amount of treasure from the dragon? You'll just be treated like a hero. Is it because Prime Minister Osborne is such a dragon that everyone fears, so when he makes a big move, no one thinks it is inappropriate?

Chloe seemed to be able to accept such an answer. However, Heiliga felt that there were too many things that made sense logically when the civil war of the empire took place in its current position.

He shook his head, eventually giving up thinking about it. However, he had already vaguely discovered in his heart what was the wonderful connection between the empire and the surrounding countries.

After the Salt Pile in Northumbria, the Empire's ambiguous attitude towards the nascent autonomous states was at odds with the Empire's long-standing diplomatic strategy.

It is hard for Liber to imagine that the Empire would do such a terrible event as Hamel and, according to some of the internal information provided by Ollibat that Hyliga had seen before, many of the main combat officers who were later executed claimed that they seemed to have become fanatical and belligerent for a while, and that they had all appeared at the same time under a number of different confessions. At first, Hyliga just thought that Wiseman, the mastermind behind the scenes, used his suggestion to fan the flames, and didn't pay much attention, but now that he thinks about it...... The sense of déjà vu is really serious. Logically speaking, even if the main battle faction wanted to go to war, there was a better way, and they chose the most puzzling and least likely thing to do.

The same is true for small countries such as Crossbell and other autonomous regions. The empire was expanding at a rate rarely seen in history. If what Prime Minister Osborne did was to fight for his own capital in order to fight against the aristocratic faction, but what happened to Crossbell and when Crossbell changed in size, the Prime Minister asked the members of the Intelligence Department to make strange moves...... It also made Helriga very suspicious.

In addition, the Empire's attitude towards organizations on the mainland, such as the Qiyao Church and the Guerrilla Association, was also very xenophobic. If it is reasonable to say that the reason that the Epstein Consortium was not allowed to enter the empire was to protect the economy of the empire itself, and the purpose of the guerrilla association was not conducive to the work of the imperial intelligence services, then the Qiyao Church could not be interpreted as saying that the empire only retained unilateral diplomatic access to the ceremonial province, and it was only established at the lowest level, in order to protect the elven faith in its own country, right?

Heliga always felt that there was something behind the scenes that was pushing the empire and pushing it into chaos step by step. Especially after the start of this civil war, the movement of the association is also something that Helriga wants to find out. He waited for Vita's answer, but he also sought out some ideas that might help.

However, Chloe didn't know what Heliga was thinking at this time. He patted his head, looked at the clock on the wall, and then said, "By the way, there are quite a few people on this ship, who should be your old acquaintances, and some people from here...... Would you like to meet them? Anyway, it's idle now. ”

"I would like to meet General Staff Lufas." Heiliga said somewhat absent-mindedly, "Is it convenient?" ”

"I don't know...... He's not on board now. However, he does occasionally leave like this for a few days, and we don't know what he's going to do. Kane had full trust in him, and was always reachable to him, at least when he was needed. A few hours before you arrived, he left the mothership in an airship, and he didn't know where he was going. ”

"Forget it then...... Helliga always felt that Lufas was hiding from him, but he had no evidence, so he held back this thought, "In that case, let's meet the two greasy uncles with unhappy faces at the dinner table just now." Heliga half-jokingly, "The two of them didn't leave again, did they?" ”

"Nope. The two of Zephyr have been in charge of the training of mechs, and their work has basically been completed a long time ago, just playing casually on various battlefields. Chloe shook her head, "When they heard you were coming, they came right away...... I heard that it was a former acquaintance of you and Fei? But at the dinner table just now, why did you ignore the two of them? ”

"That's what you want. Let them know that after the Hunter King is gone, the boss of Zephyr will not be the two of them. Two little guys, and you still want the real big guy to sell their face? ”

"Who do you say is the little one?" When Heliga said this, he deliberately said it loudly, and Chloe slowed down, which also meant that the room in front of him was exactly where the two of them were. As expected, as soon as Haliga finished speaking, a cry of discontent came from the room.

"See? Only a little minion would shout like this. The real bigwigs are like me" Helliga pushed open the hidden door, and then lazily caught the small throwing knife that fell from the door with his fingers, which was the owner of the voice, and the trap made Jeno play the trick, "calm and calm"

As he spoke, Heliga casually threw the flying knife and the sharp metal directly pierced the wine bottle on the table in front of Jeno, and the purple-red wine scattered out along with the glass slag, and Jeno and the innocent destructive beast next to him were also hit by some fragments, but both of them protected the key parts, and the battle suit they were wearing to defend against this little stray bullet was a piece of cake, and they were naturally unscathed.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Chloe's mouth twitched, and sure enough, aren't hunters normal people?
