Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Iron Brotherhood That Cannot Be Changed
As a result, the Brotherhood of Steel chose to trust Liz and others who helped the people involved in the "Clean Water Project" escape from the Enclave, well, it can't be said that others believe in the protagonist and say how wise people are, originally this is a "you have your strategy, I have my decision" type of difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, but ...... Now that they are willing to take them in, Leeds is happy to stop here and wait for the X-02 to be refitted.
It's just that there are some things that bother Leeds -
"I'm not a robot, don't scan me with something that detects electromagnetic waves...... Please, you look at me so affectionately, I won't give you blood donation for analysis! Can you go back and do your own research? "Just as the U.S. government is trying to study the power of Leeds, the Brotherhood of Steel will try to do that, and this is what Leeds expected...... But you don't need seven or eight people to circle around you!
There will definitely be no research results, this time Leeds did not make a deal with anyone, don't even think about unprovoked bloodletting to test others or anything, besides, the Brotherhood of Steel has always focused on combat-related technology, and suddenly a person from another world jumped out who they don't know how to study if they want to......
"Ahem, Lord Lez, please don't get me wrong, our researchers are just curious......" Looking at the image of a piece of weed being slapped off with a punch, and patting some of the weeds will fly out and some seeds fly into the body, the elder said that he could understand why the scholars all applied to come out and watch.
The blame for Leeds is that his teammates are all addicted to otherworldly technology, and they can't hold back the hatred of this group of researchers. Kraussa tests the Brotherhood's weapons on the pretext of instructing the Brotherhood members on how to fight without power armor, and then awakens the belief that 'the military thorn has a bird, and the brother will smash you to death with a punch in the power fist', and is discussing with the brotherhood buddies whether he can put a large power fist on the right fist of the power armor; Leon follows Poole to learn the basic principles of the laser pistol, and it seems that after seeing the awesome Freedom Vanguard, he once again strongly recognizes that biochemical weapons are evil, The romance of men lies in the ROBOT instead of turning into a big monster whirring in the flesh; Ida wandered around with Dog Meat and Dog Meat, and ran through the entire map of the Brotherhood with the name of the Wang Xingren's naughty name, and learned what research everyone was doing, if she hadn't hacked into the terminal with the Pip-Boy like Poole, she would have tried to take the data with her...... In the end, Liz is the only one who wants to use the power of MC to improve his food.
"Curious...... But Elder, aren't you a leader, can you stop watching me rub grass like the researchers? Your bodyguard makes me nervous. "The onlookers are all counted, and so is Sarah's sister, the four power armor buddies who protect the elder from being hurt outside and carry multi-barreled machine guns really make Leeds feel so stressed!
"Ahem, the paladins are just worried that my old man is weak and will not be able to attack the Enclave or super mutants outside." Elder Ryan smiled dryly, "...... And this is also the obsession of the old man, if there is a chance, I want to inquire about the specific situation of the other world that is closer to our pre-war world, and I hope to get some inspiration from it. ”
"Even if I seem to be the most idle, this kind of question should be asked to them......" Under the curious gaze of a group of scholars, a hoe appeared in Liz's hand, seemingly uninterested in the subject.
"Lord Leon said that it would be more appropriate for Lord Leeds to answer the subject, because—"
"--Because I'm telling you the truth that if you don't die, they will have a chance to escape," Leon said at the time, probably 'because Liz is the captain', but this is definitely what he said, alas, where is the part of Raccoon City that stayed with Liz and broke it off.
As he spoke, Liz had already hoeed out more than a dozen pieces of farmland, took out wheat seeds and scattered them on the farmland, "Forget it, I've seen the Wanderer in the wasteland before, and combined with what I've seen in the past two days, I think the Brotherhood of Steel really doesn't have much to say about the future......"
"How dare you—!"
"......" the elder hurriedly raised his hand to sign, indeed with the bearing of a leader, "Can you explain?" I really came to ask with a learning attitude. ”
Liz, who had already planted the seeds, turned around and said with a hoe, "First of all, there is a question, Elder, how do you think the Brotherhood of Steel will change?" ”
"This ......"
"First kill the Enclave, then clear the wasteland of super mutants and berserk zombies, then bandits, and finally make yourself the only boss of the region," the elder didn't wait for Liz to answer, he had already rushed to continue, "If the inheritors of the Brotherhood of Steel have exactly the same will as you at that time, then this is only 50% of the strength to explore the technology of the region, 40% of the strength to carry out expeditions, and finally to support the inhabitants of the wasteland; If the Brotherhood's successor doesn't have the same will as you, or if the members work together to overthrow him who doesn't have as much appeal as you, or if the Brotherhood's headquarters does something special, the Brotherhood becomes an organization where all the power is developing technology for its own use. ”
"............" Elder Lane opened his mouth to protest, but he also knew that with his age, it was really difficult to say how many years he could last, and who knew what the world would become after his death~
"Don't worry, Elder, the lives of the wasteland dwellers in this area have changed for the better at that time, at least there are no Enclaves, supermuters, and bandits running rampant." It's important not to negate the effect because it's not ideal.
“…… But listening to you say that, I think there is more potential for development. ”
"Isn't this taken for granted~" Liz didn't even hesitate, as if the Brotherhood of Steel had infinite drawbacks, "Your organizational form was pitifully small from the beginning, and the worse it is now, the greater the potential~"
"Pitifully small?!" Charm 10 doesn't help either.
"Don't be angry, Miss Sarah, to tell you the truth, the interest group represented by your Brotherhood of Steel is only the members of the Brotherhood of Steel itself, not much stronger than the Enclave, and humans are creatures that will fight for their own interests," the Brotherhood of Steel will absorb new members, and the Enclave will really kill the wasteland vagrants immediately when they see them taking refuge, "If there are no enemies, you can develop your own technology and enjoy it behind closed doors, and if there is better technology outside, you will go out and grab it, You're trying to fight against the wasteland on your own, right? ”
In fact, according to Liz, the most promising thing now is the NCR (New California Republic), but unfortunately the NCR's sphere of influence is not on the east coast, and Leeds simply does not know the NCR, which claims to represent the interests of the broad masses of the people.
"Of course, I never said that an organization would not be able to defeat the entire wasteland...... in fact, the Enclave's current momentum is so fierce, it is difficult to say if it weren't for the Brotherhood of Steel against everything, "but I'm sure that even if it wins, it won't be a good outcome for most people." ”
If the Enclave wins, then the wasteland is cleared, or it is not a slave or a dead corpse, and now the Brotherhood of Steel has won better, but when a tyrant who likes to converge on technology, people's dream is to join the tyrant.
“…… So what do you think the Brotherhood of Steel should do to have a better future, Lord Leeds? Elder Ryan didn't immediately agree, even the most enlightened of him didn't accept Liz's statement that he was also a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, but like everyone else present, he didn't refuse to listen.
"It's said that the pattern is small, so naturally it makes the pattern bigger," Liz looked at the group of wastelanders speechlessly, well, they didn't have history lessons and politics lessons in their upbringing, forgive them, "What's bigger than the formation of a country, the absorption of wasteland dwellers, the division of producers and combatants, and the conquest of the Quartet?" "Well, Leeds is talking about the pattern of the development organization, not to mention the pattern of the struggle for human love and peace.
"This is different from the original intention of our Brotherhood of Steel!" A paladin shouted.
"Did the Wanderers lie to me? I thought the Brotherhood of Steel was all about 'building order in the wasteland', not 'other people building order in the wasteland'. Liz shrugged.
"Uh......!"
"Actually, you're just thinking, the Brotherhood of Steel has always been like this, why did it change, isn't my brother's life very nourishing?"
"Are you insulting me?!" The paladin was immediately on fire, and if the others hadn't stopped him, he might have done it right away......
"Sometimes the words in my heart can't even be accepted by myself......" Liz had already turned his head to dig a pit and poured a bucket of water into it, and he began to farm boringly again, "So Elder, it's completely useless for you to ask me these questions, and if you don't solve the ideological conservatism, the innovation of the old system will not be implemented, and the first step will collapse...... Go back and think about how to drive the Freedom Vanguard to kill the Enclave, some of the content that the Wanderers think is not wrong, they are about to be pressed to the ground by the Enclave, and it is stupid to think about it at this time, please put the ideal at the right time to realize. ”
"Please put the ideal at the right time to realize it...... I'm sorry, but I can't wait that long...... Elder Ryan smiled bitterly, not knowing if he thought Liz's words were very reasonable, or if he felt that his ideals were misunderstood again.
"His Excellency Leeds' words are indeed interesting, and they are opinions that we do not normally have access to." Not even paying attention to Liz's sudden wooden workbench, Ryan just swept his eyes sharply but slowly towards everyone present, conveying a message with the courage of a leader, "...... So if we do win in the region and solve the internal voice problem, do you have any opinions? ”
"First of all, let's change the address of the headquarters, this kind of ruin restricts my development, don't think about building a city for the rest of my life, of course, it is okay to keep it here as a research center. Well......" Liz kept silent.
Picking up the animal bones prepared by the Brotherhood members, breaking them down into bone meal with the power of the system, and sprinkling them on the wheat field, the wheat harvest was completed while everyone was still stunned by the instant germination, growth, and ripening of the wheat, and walked to the workbench that he had just thrown......
“!” Ryan subconsciously followed what Leeds ran over, "Noodles, bread......?!" ”
"The second point, don't always think about developing war technology after the enemy is cleared, use more planting, animal husbandry, and construction technology, and you will find that the world will not stay in the 'wasteland stage' forever." Liz nibbled on her own bread.
Hmm~~ Sure enough, after eating strange things for so many days, the things produced by the MC system have become extremely delicious~!
