Chapter 275: Enlightening Conversation (2-in-1)
In this way, the night festival came to an end, and the 127th Tolz Non-commissioned Officer Academy School Festival finally came to a successful conclusion.
What was supposed to be a hopeful time for the new academic year turned out to be strange because of the special situation in the empire and the heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
After the end of the school festival,Those who came to the school together,The big people from all walks of life who participated in the event,Each left with a heavy expression。 They understand that the last time to relax is over, and what awaits them next will be an incomparably cold and unforgiving reality. There will be countless things, the fate of countless people in the middle and lower classes of society, waiting for them to dominate and decide.
The day after Crossbell unfurled his powerful shield and repelled the armies of the Empire and the Republic, the aristocracy unexpectedly attacked the core of the reformers, Chancellor Osborne. They united with a large number of media to exaggerate the failed military operations of the Imperial Army, which caused panic throughout the country, and many people who were not determined or did not understand the political situation were disturbed by such propaganda; Even if a few people have a calm judgment and know that such propaganda is actually very exaggerated and excessive, but looking at the few data related to the empire's economy constantly falling off a cliff, even if there is a rebuttal on their lips, they can't say anything.
Twenty of the latest main tanks were destroyed in a single shot, and many people were terrified: Is the fortress of Gareria, which we have always been so proud of, vulnerable to such a force? Even if such remarks seem to some people to be exaggerated, they can't convince themselves that it is "very normal" to watch the stocks of the empire's major listed companies plummet, watch the major consortia adopt austerity policies and struggle to support them, and watch the prices of diversion supplies rise.
At the same time, the effects of the "IBC's" blockade of the empire's assets are beginning to be felt. The empire's economy, along with the turmoil in the stock and financial markets, saw a noticeable decline. In order to reverse the fiscal deficit, many companies have begun to prepare for large-scale layoffs, causing panic. It is difficult for people to get as much loans from banks as they normally have, and the difficulty of capital circulation has also brought a large number of chambers of commerce to a standstill. Under these circumstances, the Imperial Capital Office and the Imperial Government began to carry out joint intelligence control, and for some false or exaggerated reports, tracing back to the source, this pressure was also relieved to a certain extent. However, the means on the surface cannot stop the secret gossip from running rampant, and the truth of the three becoming tigers is obviously applicable this time. In the word of mouth, Crossbell has become, repelling the attacks of the Imperial army several times in a row, and intends to launch a counteroffensive, devouring the fortress of Galleria and approaching the "powerhouse" of the capital of Balihat. There is also some speculation that the Empire's long-standing enemy, the Republic of Calvard, will sign a military alliance with Crossbell to jointly invade Erebonia.
However, the reality is not as feared, as the Republic of Calvard has its own problems. After several unsuccessful attacks and the loss of a large number of elite airboat forces, the Republic's ruler, President Smith, also suffered a lot of criticism, and the national problem in the Republic began to erupt in full swing. The declining economic conditions led to an angry attack on the immigrants from the East, and the armed forces that had been prepared for a long time also entered the battle, and the entire Republic of Calvard was almost paralyzed, and armed struggle began to arise in various places. President Locksmith was so busy with this that it was impossible for him to take care of this aspect of the empire for a while.
Large countries such as empires and republics, as well as nominal suzerains, were helpless against Crossbell, and instead were turned against the generals, which provoked all kinds of problems in the country, and the only possible way to reverse the situation was the codified state in the middle of the continent, which made it very difficult for other small states and autonomous states in the western continent to deal with it. They had been opposed to Crossbell's approach, but they were also helpless at this time; Due to the small size of the country, the current crisis in the Western Continent has not affected them too much, but if the matter drags on over time, sooner or later they will erupt into various contradictions like the current empire and republic.
Therefore, the decision of the Imperial Government of Erebonia in this matter was a complete failure. The reformist representatives, led by Prime Minister Osborne, failed to grasp the situation at all, and thus put Erebonia in the situation he is in. Jusses read the newspaper with a blank face, and the heat of the summer heat in the classroom caused several students present to sweat on their foreheads, but it was not distracted, "It is clear that we should hold this incompetent prime minister accountable." ”
"Hmm...... It's annoying to write, but in this case, I really can't find any reason to refute it. On the side, Macchias said sullenly, because of his father, he liked this powerful prime minister very much, this article is obviously an excuse for the aristocratic faction, and by the way, all the problems of the empire itself are detained on the prime minister, but in the form of the empire now, such remarks, the prime minister and the reformers cannot refute it.
"What a surprise, I thought you would be indignant and say that the contents of this newspaper are rubbish." Jusis pretended to be contemptuous, but his tone was very kind, "Although I agree with you...... This kind of reporting is simply a play on the topic, and it is not objective at all. ”
"If you change the previous Macchias, I guess it will really be like this." Heliga walked into the classroom—and several students immediately turned their eyes on him. Ever since he suddenly appeared that night and sincerely apologized to all his classmates for his sudden disappearance after the party, everyone began to feel that this person was more and more difficult to understand. However, he himself did not notice that he was the center of attention, "but now Macchias can distinguish sensibly...... Well? Why are you looking at me like that? ”
"Nothing." Alyssa said angrily, "I just hope that someone who suddenly disappeared can give us some specific information, instead of us looking at the newspapers here." ”
"How do I know, big shots?" Hyliga shrugged her shoulders, sat down on an empty chair, and put a frost spell in her hand to cool everyone down—much to the benefit of the students who were plagued by the scorching summer days—"I don't know more than you do. ”
"Come less." Macchias snorted coldly, "Your relationship with His Highness Oliebat is already an open secret. ”
"Well, though I can understand your reservedness ......," Jusis said.
"But once in a while, you have to trust us more." Dawn said.
"Alright, alright...... Lost to you. Heliga waved his hand, "Forget it, I was going to tell you something at this time...... If you have anything, just ask. Unless confidential content is involved. ”
"What happened to Crossbell?" Unceremoniously, Laura was the first to speak, and asked the question everyone wanted to ask - what happened in just two days when Heliga went to Crossbell in the evening and suddenly came back on the third night?
"It's hard to imagine that the Imperial Army was actually dragged by Crossbell......" Gaius on the side also shook his head and smiled bitterly, unable to believe it.
"Dad and Lieutenant General Varta also seem helpless against the blue humanoid weapon." Elliot said.
"Melt twenty main tanks with one shot or something...... Patil Matiel also seemed to ......," Fei also said softly. Instead of asking Heiliga about it alone, she decided to think about it with everyone and then listen to what he had to say.
"Well, while it sounds like the most exaggerated of all the reports, it's the truest of all the news." After listening to everyone's gossip, Hailiga spoke, "All in all, that's really not something that modern guide technology can do...... I've seen all three of them up close—"
"Three?" Emma blurted out, "But as I recall, there were only two ...... mentioned in the report."
"Because there are only two units in action." "Of the three divine machines, the blue one is used against the Empire...... It is based on the Patil Matil, a giant humanoid weapon equipped by one of the executors we met during the Liber period...... However, the performance has been greatly enhanced, and the power of the single machine should be several times that of Ling's parents. The other purple machine was built based on Delquion, a super-velocity, the one that Lévi used to stop us when we landed in the Floating City. ”
"It seems that the 'association' used their data." Fei nodded, and the other classmates didn't show any puzzled expressions, because the stories of Hailiga and Fei during the Liber period had been told by Fei almost as well, "What about the white magic machine?" ”
"I don't know, the prototype is unknown, and the function is unknown...... It has been parked at the top of the orchid tower and has not been used. However, all three humanoid weapons have one characteristic, that is, they have been extremely extreme in terms of materials and design in order to enhance their performance, so that they do not have any braking system or internal core power system. ”
"These ......," Alyssa grimaced, "how would they move without these?" ”
"Because it is not by conventional guidance, but by the power of the "Supreme Treasure." Heliga briefly recounts the story from the Order to the Kurlois family, from Kia to the Zero Princess.
"The Seven Treasures of the Goddess...... I always thought it was just a myth until Phyye told us what happened to you in Liber......" Laura frowned, "but, man-made Arcana...... Is it possible to do such a thing? ”
"Who knows? Anyway, that's pretty much it. From the disappearance of the "Illusory Treasure" a thousand years ago, to the layout of participating in the creation of the "Order" a hundred years ago, until the official closing of the net completed a few days ago...... If you weren't doing this kind of thing, your persistence and persistence would be commendable. "Well, though, I don't think Crossbell will be able to stay in this situation for long." ”
"Why?" The power of the treasure is far beyond the reach of people, just by landing in the mortal world, a small test, can directly break through the armies of the two great powers, triggering serious social changes, once Crossbell further adapts, I am afraid that the situation will be reversed. The fall of the Garelian Fortress will probably not always remain at the level of the current fantasy, and most of the students think so. However, Heiliga doesn't seem to pay attention to the matter at all.
"Because, we have already experienced this kind of thing once...... the painstaking layout of the "association" is to obtain the Arcana, or at least part of the power of the Arcana. Just because they choose to help the Cullois doesn't mean they'll be loyal allies from now on...... Dita indulged in his political ideals, but unfortunately his daughter was not the same as him...... Well, let's talk about these things later, anyway, Crossbell shouldn't be the place to worry the most. Speaking of Crossbell, though, I'd like to ask one of those things. ”
Heliga's appearance of wanting to speak aroused the curiosity of the other students. They asked what Heliga was trying to ask.
"Anyway, that's the way it is...... It was the residents of Crossbell who voted for the independence proposal that led to this situation. If the empire is in chaos, most of you will be affected in various ways...... Do you have hatred or resentment towards the Crossbell people? ”
It's a strange question, but everyone present thought about it seriously. They exchanged glances with each other, and they quickly reached a tacit agreement on this answer.
"I don't think so...... First of all, judging from the facts you just mentioned, regardless of the outcome of the vote, the preparation of the Cullois family for thousands of years cannot be changed by the result of the vote for a while. This is the judgment of Macchias.
"Moreover, it is said that the Crossbellians were deliberately directed to the public opinion of a hostile empire after the hunters attacked the city, and passed the bill on a whim. Although I have always had a bit of a crunch about the relationship between the Empire and Crossbell...... "That's Jusses's opinion."
"The Nolde Plateau has always had a tradition of friendship with the Empire, but Crossbell doesn't seem to have ...... They must have done so in a desperate desire for a strong country, for true peace, and for no more wars in their homeland. I can understand them. "Gaius was genuine.
"yes...... Moreover, the problems of the empire have long been entrenched, and even if there is no such time, sooner or later there will be a next opportunity to erupt...... Crossbell, there's really nothing to hate. This was Alyssa's final conclusion.
"That's right...... You guys are very good. Heliga nodded, "But, do you think, in today's empire...... Could such an idea be held by the majority of people? ”
