Chapter 30: No Solution
When Xue Qiong was struggling with the affairs of the Heavenly Palace, there was another group of people in this world who were also discussing the same thing. It's just that their numbers and the resources they can use are far more than Xue Qiong's, so their discussions are more constructive and progress is also very fast.
"So... The result of everyone's discussion was that destroying the Heavenly Palace was the most effective and convenient way... Is it? â
V leaned on the silver-white metal table and calmly made a summary. In front of him was a huge screen, which was divided into hundreds of screens, each showing hundreds of faces, and most of them nodded after listening to V's words.
The proposal to assassinate the Emperor had already been vetoed before, after V had said something about Dai Zhe, the former head of the Military Command. These people were in an uproar at the time, because even with their social status and ability, they were only told that Dai Zhe had died in an accident, and after V told the truth, everyone thought that this was already an unachievable solution... Because if there is anyone who is the easiest person to kill Jiang Yefeng, then this person is undoubtedly Dai Zhe. But even he failed, which shows that the emperor's own ability to protect himself is beyond everyone's imagination, and after an assassination, the emperor's defense will definitely be improved a lot, which almost completely extinguishes the possibility of assassinating him.
Unlike the lone hero in the original V Vendetta team, this V borrows a lot of power. After V played those messages, there was a lot of anti-Cauldron activity all over the Empire - that is, the whole world, and after those people surfaced, V found them one by one before the Empire, and established a powerful organization hidden beneath the whole world, also named V.
And after they established contact, several members of the imperial system who were in high positions stole the use of several communication satellites, which allowed them to conduct such a super-large-scale video conference at this time, even when almost all the members were hidden all over the world, and even V did not know where they were.
This rapidly formed organization has far more members than just these on the screen... The other members who did not show up either did not trust V's secrecy measures, or did not participate for security reasons, or only participated in the audio communication.
Of course, V is the only person who can see everyone's face, and this is for the sake of secrecy, and the other members are in favor of this measure, and the equipment in their hands can only receive V's image and sound, and what others say will only be broadcast on the channel after selectively changing the voice at V's judgment.
And after the discussion at this stage, several faces disappeared directly from the screen. Unlike the usual voting meetings, V made it clear at the outset that this time there might be an outcome that the majority supports, but that doesn't mean that the remaining minorities lose the right to choose, and they can withdraw at any time if they want, or participate in the actions supported by the majority of members.
In fact, the only person who needs to decide what he needs to do according to the voting results is V. And all the other people who participated in the meeting, can continue to do what they want. In essence, the idea of a majority is just to gather people who think the same way and do something together, rather than forcing everyone to make the same choice in the name of the principle of "the minority obeys the majority" and "the organization".
"So let's talk about it." V continued, "First of all, how many people do we have here who can enter the Heavenly Palace? â
A handful of people on the screen raised their hands.
"Actually, I think," said one of them, "instead of thinking about how to destroy the Heavenly Palace, it is better to think about destroying the Tower of Babel." Without the Tower of Babel, the Heavenly Palace would lose all its provisions, and it would only be a matter of time before it was defeated, in a practical sense..."
Another person interrupted him and said, "Have you forgotten what we talked about earlier?" For something like 'changing the world', the symbolic meaning is the practical meaning..."
"He's right." V agreed, "For example, when I blew up the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, I didn't actually kill even a high-ranking official, but just destroyed an old building that I was about to collapse... But in fact, it is precisely because of this act of mine that you have come together. â
âVăâ Another person spoke, but it seemed to be a different topic entirely, "about those who suddenly appeared all over the world... Plague, did any of us come to any conclusion? â
"There are several completely different viruses, and there are three major groups of known viruses, and they are constantly mutating. You're trying to say..."
"That's right, although the empire's suppression of infected areas is very fast, and the current spread rate is very slow, in fact, until now, no one has developed a specific drug against these viruses."
"So, if we can find a way to bring this virus to the Heavenly Palace... That would be more useful than any weapon, wouldn't it? â
"I think I can try, but I don't expect too much..."
"That's right, Tiangong is different from other cities, at least more than one-third of the population there is a modified person, and some of them have replaced most of their organs, and the zombies bite on the group of guys who have replaced the second child with a machine gun, and they will only shatter a mouthful of teeth, and the spread of infection will be much slower than we thought..."
"What about a nuclear bomb? I'm a nuclear physicist, and even though there hasn't been a single nuclear bomb on the planet since World War II, I don't think it would take much time to build it. â
"How do you launch it? Any rocket that is not registered with the Empire will be shot down directly before entering the stratosphere, let alone heading towards the Heavenly Palace..."
"We can bring all the necessary parts to the Heavenly Palace, and then assemble them in the Heavenly Palace..."
"In this case, we need enough people who have mastered a lot of professional skills and have the authority to enter the Heavenly Palace..."
"If you say so, you might as well just find a few people to sneak into the power room of the Heavenly Palace and transform that fusion reactor... Moreover, we are all afraid of death that we can join this organization alive, find people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and can enter the heavenly palace... How hard do you find it? â
"Well, our research institute has recently made a machine that can carry out more in-depth forced brainwashing, and the Imperial Army is considering equipping... We can create some dead soldiers, infuse them with relevant knowledge, and then let them enter the Heavenly Palace as eunuchs. â
"No, the eunuchs who enter the Heavenly Palace will all go through a brainwashing, I believe that compared to the army, the Heavenly Palace must have begun to use this kind of machine, it is difficult to guarantee that the information that has been brainwashed will not be covered."
The discussion continued like this, even for more than an hour, without a relatively effective solution. Up to now, some people have even started to scold their mothers, but they only sighed at the defense of the Heavenly Palace twice, and they will not continue to scold with their literacy, but after scolding twice, they continue to participate in the discussion.
On the other side, the discussion of Xue Qiong and his party was also continuing, but it was already evening.
"How about this?" Xue Qiong took the charged new magic grenade in his hand and said while holding it: "Although the destructive power may not be enough, if you use all of them to blow up some important parts..."
When they entered this plot world, Cha Yao took out five finished products, but until now, the three of them have not used this thing. That kind of terrifying power, Xue Qiong still remembers it vividly, if it is used to complete the main quest, it can be regarded as making the best use of it, and it is not in vain to blind those expensive Mithril.
"However, none of us will be retrofitting bombs." The bald head poured a basin of cold water on Xue Qiong, "If we can't turn them into time bombs, we can only go to suicide attacks... Moreover, how to enter the Heavenly Palace? â
"Damn! Back to this question! Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, her embarrassed appearance was really cute, "Is it really not good to charm a big official?" If that's the case, you can remove the metal casings of these bombs and let them take them with you as a craft... Anyway, the Mithril core in it is also quite exquisite, isn't it? Senior, let me go, you won't be jealous~"
"No," Xue Qiong shook his head, "It's not okay to be jealous, anyway, I know that no one can succeed with you, and I know that they will all die miserably in the end... However, the first cycle is too long, and as for the second one, strictly speaking, what we need is a person with a status sufficient to enter the Heavenly Palace, and to be able to go to the key points of the Heavenly Palace, such as the energy furnace and other places... But this kind of person is either a very low status, just a technician or a maintenance worker, and it is estimated that he has no right to bring anything up at all, or he is a person with a high status who can walk around the heavenly palace at will, even if it is a person who goes to the power room to 'inspect', but these people must stay in the heavenly palace most of the time, and even if they come down, they will be heavily guarded, and we can't find a chance to get close to him. â
"What about the Second Ancestor? How about the second ancestor? Xiao Yun still doesn't want to give up, "It's the kind of guy who has a good father in a high position, but doesn't want to be stuffy in the heavenly palace... Compared to those pot-bellied old men, I know more about such bastards~"
"But you forgot one thing." Xue Qiong pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, but immediately lit another one, and said at the same time: "A guy like this is either regarded as a family ugly by the old guys, or as a sweetheart, and is always on guard against being troubled by political enemies... In either case, there is no way for them to appear in official channels, and the only ones we can use now are official channels. â
