He Ruozhi said with a smile: "I still have a large amount of unused funds in my account, which is enough to arm a medium-sized knight order, but speaking of support, I do have a place where I need the help of the Tang family." ”

"What's that?"

"I just need a commitment."

"What promise?"

He Ruozhi took a deep breath and said lightly: "I need the entire Setan Star Domain to enact a new law, promising that orcs enjoy the same rights as ordinary humans, and no one should treat them like slaves!" ”

Tang Zunlei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Black Immortal Elder to make such a request.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The use of orc slaves as miners is a common rule on many mining planets.

Countless giants in the energy industry have relied on this convenience to make huge profits.

Energy is the key to the prosperity and stable development of a star field, as long as there is sufficient energy, then even the harsh natural environment of the planet can be slowly transformed into a developed and advanced world.

The energy giants control a very important power in any of the star fields, and the abolition of orc slavery will undoubtedly deal a very big blow to their profits.

That might even shake the political situation of the entire star field, and remove the seemingly powerful leader from power.

Tang Zunlei frowned and said, "Can the Elder of the Black Underworld tell me why he wants to fight for the rights of the orcs, if you do have a valid reason, and this reason is very beneficial to the development of the Setan Star Domain, then even if there is any resistance, I can do my best." ”

Tang Zunlei sighed and said, "I also know that the situation of the orc miners is very miserable, but I am a politician, and politicians must be responsible to the people, and there is no room for personal feelings. The abolition of slavery will cause political turmoil in the entire star field, especially in this state of war, our demand for energy is even stronger, and at this time, without the support of those small and medium-sized 'private' planet owners, what can we rely on to win the war? ”

He Ruozhi said confidently: "I don't deny that I am very disgusted with slavery, but this matter is indeed of great benefit to the Setan Star Field, so I brought it up at this moment. Parents also know that energy is the key to determining the outcome of the competition, so I dare to ask, is it the orc slaves who dig and create energy, or their masters? ”

"This ......"

"The owners of the 'private' mining planets are all merchants, and the merchants are all profit-seekers, and they have no allegiance to the government or the star field. And I reckon that once the war starts, the Holy See will have the upper hand for quite some time, and how will those wall-headed merchants go through the difficult times with you? ”

Tang Zunlei frowned.

He Ruozhi is right, businessmen are the most disloyal people in the universe.

With the gradual decline of the earth and the entry of human beings into the universe, the concept of the state gradually disappeared, and even the current five star fields are just some loose federations.

There is also the problem of distance, because each star field is too large and has to rely on the autonomy of each settlement, so the inhabitants are generally not very loyal to the government.

Merchants roam the universe in search of business opportunities, and they can find shelter everywhere, and it doesn't matter whose loyalty they are.

In the unlikely event of an unfavorable war in the future, it would not be at all surprising that businessmen with abundant resources would turn to the Holy See.

Tang Zunlei sighed and said: "This problem is indeed a very headache, I have given the leaders of the big energy group a very high status and power, but these people are never satisfied, and even frequently use energy to blackmail the government, it is really hateful!" ”

He Ruozhi said: "For these merchants, because the mining planet is their 'private' property, it is a matter of course to sell it to anyone, and it is impossible to fight with all their might for the sake of an ethereal status. But those orc miners are different, as long as they are given something that is common to ordinary people, they can be extremely loyal to the government. ”

Tang Zunlei frowned and said, "However, the half-orcs have always had a deep hatred for the human world, and I am afraid that after releasing this tiger, I will not hurt the enemy, so I will devour it first!" ”

He Ruozhi said: "War is the best means to vent hatred, you just need to pay more attention to propaganda and attribute all problems to the Holy See." Anyway, those half-orcs are the 'private' mining owners, and we can find all kinds of reasons to solve these 'private' mining owners with vigorous and resolute means, implement militarized management, and let the orcs themselves govern these mining stars. Think about it - these orc miners have just turned over and become the masters of the mining star, and at this time, the army of the Holy See has been killed, and they want to turn them back into slaves, won't these orcs fight with all their strength for the hard-won freedom? ”

Tang Zunlei high-fived and said, "Indeed, indeed!" People are always willing to give all their strength to defend and fight for their own things, and you are very right! Welcome to Boiling % Teng @ Strategically, the Self-Defense Force, which is made up of Half-Orc Miners, is definitely much stronger than the Guard, which is made up of merchants. Because merchants are merchants everywhere, and orcs are free people only in my Setan Star Domain, and when they reach the Holy See, they will become slaves again! The orcs, who have just enjoyed the taste of free folk for two days, are absolutely unwilling to go back to the 'dark', 'wet' and wet mine 'hole' and put on the handcuffs and shackles again! ”

He Ruozhi nodded and said, "Although the orcs can't fly advanced armed mechas, they can at least 'operate' the simple defense system, or arm them to become ordinary land warriors, and their strong strength alone is enough to compete with the enemy." You must know that after the Holy See occupies the mining planet, it must be used immediately to make up for the rapid consumption of energy loss, at this time, if the orc guerrillas can hide in the mine 'hole' to carry out 'riot' operations, or blow up the enemy's mining industry system, wouldn't it be able to greatly delay the enemy's footsteps? ”

According to He Ruozhi's assumption, if the Holy See really has an artificial star 'gate' system that can transmit an entire army, it will definitely consume a lot of energy.

So, energy is the key to this battle.

Tang Zunlei laughed and said, "Now I believe that the Black Elder is indeed raising such a crucial question for the sake of the future of the entire Star Domain. There's just a small trouble - we in the Setan Domain have always advocated freedom of commerce, so what reason can we find to expel all the merchants on the mining planet? If other people's 'private' property is confiscated rashly, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among some people. ”

He Ruozhi said: "This is even simpler, as long as you reach an agreement with the orcs on the mine star in secret, provide them with advanced weapons, and then let the orcs initiate ***." The merchants on the Mine Star will inevitably make ****** demands to the Tang family, and then the regular army of the Tang Family can drive into the Mine Star - naturally, at this time, those slave owners have been killed by the angry orcs, and the mine star will naturally belong to the orcs. Then the Tang family can change the suppression to fu and give the orcs a certain right of freedom. ”

He paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "There is no need to explain this to the people immediately, and we will not publicize it to the masses until the Holy See's army really invades the Setan Star Domain, and the situation is extremely critical. At that time, everyone was in a difficult situation, and I heard that there was a support army that could help, so who was he? ”

Tang Zunlei's eyes flashed again and again, and he was obviously caught in complicated thinking.

Humans have been using orc slaves for hundreds of years, so there is no doubt that there is a very high price to pay for making changes.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in the past, orcs did not enter the world of ordinary people.

Like black slaves in history, they were once regarded as slaves by ordinary white people, and when slavery was abolished, many slave owners rose up to rebel.

However, most of the population did not know what orcs were, nor had they tried what it was like to be a slave owner. To abolish orc slavery, there will undoubtedly be much less resistance.

He Ruozhi said: "To be honest, my plan to enter the internal hierarchy of the Holy See this time is to incite the orc miners to rise up against the slave owners on the mining planet and carry out ***, so I hope that the Saitan Star Field can become the first Star Field to abolish the slavery system." In that case, I would have the capital to promise the orc miners that when the war is won, they will also gain the same power as humans. In this way, it will be possible to fundamentally hit the energy supply of the Holy See. You know, if there is one less piece of ore from the rear to the front, then there will be one less bullet in the Holy See's arsenal that will kill the people of Setan! ”

This sentence seemed to help Tang Zunlei make up his mind, the old man's face showed a resolute look, Tang Zunlei gritted his teeth and said, "I can agree to your request and promise to give you the same rights as orcs and ordinary humans." To be honest, it's not that I'm reluctant to free these slaves, I'm just worried that when the orcs master advanced technology and powerful force, it will have an impact on the human world. ”

He Ruozhi smiled bitterly: "Parents, do you think this method of blocking is effective?" The power of life is so great, one day the orcs will master advanced technology through various channels, and break the genetic chains attached to their brains, and then the angry orcs will no longer be able to be friends with humans! ”
