199. Lament

1100, Tenkyo Combined Fleet Headquarters, inside the Governor's Palace

“…… Is it? Is that what the young man said? ”

"Yes, the subordinates don't think there's any need for him to lie to us."

"But it's too striking."

The decrepit governor took off the crystal glasses that hung from the bridge of his nose and rubbed his brow tiredly. The old face was full of bitterness.

The completely unknown means of being able to control the ship Niang, disdainful of the glory and wealth that are easily available on Tianjing's side, and ignoring the various possible pressures brought by human society. This means that he has the confidence that he can survive on his own completely out of human society.

What's in the Pacific Ocean? What makes a radical stunned young man a year ago what he is today? In essence, his thoughts really have not changed, and they are still the essence of resentment without any advance calculations. But from the perspective of this means and vision, it cannot be simply described as an angry youth, but a new force.

One that makes him think that he can confront human society and even have the power to transcend. This is not something that only angry youth can do.

“…… Is there anything you can say about the means of manipulating the ship? ”

Looking at the report on the table, the Governor put on his crystal glasses again and asked softly.

"The subordinates believe that he may have mastered some kind of subspace technology that we can't understand." Richelieu stood in front of the governor and said with a solemn face: "That technique is likely to be a directional technique that has approached maturity. At least I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Really? Is it possible that because you're a prototype ship and the others are just ships of the same position? Considering this possibility, maybe too? ”

"You're joking. There is no essential difference between a ship of the same position and a prototype, you know. ”

"That is, anyone can command him if he wants to?"

"It can't be ruled out."

I thought about what the man looked like on the way. Richelieu added with a solemn face.

"But he once said that his power to manipulate the ship is actually something borrowed, and there is no way to directly manipulate it."

"Borrowed?"

"Yes. According to him, it is borrowed power. ”

"Then do you think this statement is true or false?"

"The subordinates do not think there is any need for him to deceive us. He already knew exactly what kind of strength his fleet had. Nothing could stop a single onslaught from his organization. A real fight is not for both sides. His subordinates thought he might be currying favor with us. ”

"Is it just a way to show that you don't mean to participate?" A look of disappointment flashed across the Governor's old face.

"It's a problem, the field is ready. But the finalist fled. ”

Obviously, my position will be his, so why do you resist so much?

Rubbing his temples, the world before the Governor became slightly dizzy.

He doesn't have much time left.

Although the governor is not for life, his exploits are obvious to all. In recent years, it has been holding the core of the central government, vigorously supporting local industries, providing a large number of job opportunities for inland people, and maintaining a stable front.

But his own family knows his own business. He's not a tactical genius. The failure of the battle in the northern sea, and the failure of the local town guard government, if it were not for his political achievements, it was too dazzling. He, the governor, has long been taken down. But even now, the civilian officials who think they have the line of knowledge and the martial arts faction who have long been dissatisfied with peace are not at ease.

To fight, everyone wants to fight, wants to climb up quickly, wants to make a lot of money, can only fight. But how do you calculate those expenses when you go to war? That's going to kill people.

The current human society has no way to support the situation of all-out war with the deep sea. Unlike the most critical war years, when all the people were soldiers, the use of luxury goods for one qiē was close to zero. The energy burst out of the national heavy industry created the glory of the year.

But human beings have limits, and so do ship mothers. If the spring is tightened all the time, it will break sooner or later. A resilient strategy of recuperation is the way to go. However, at present, a considerable part of the industry has not been transformed, and the propaganda base is approaching zero. Needless to say, this is a very stupid act. The people are not thoughtless beasts, and transformation takes time.

At least according to the Governor's calculations, it would take five to ten years for the propaganda station to mobilize the human war situation. And the ship's mother is even worse than this. Because to fight. It must be a world-class battle.

In the case of a world war, individual thinking and acting are undoubtedly meaningless.

But can the current human world withstand the wartime doctrine of rationing?

If a war is started rashly, it can only be human beings themselves who will destroy it. Humanity, which has finally been united, may fall apart again because of this stupid war, and those who want to fight and those who don't want to fight will be divided again, and the human world will be torn apart again.

So the Governor decided to choose a spokesperson. This spokesman will serve as a sounding board for the will to war, a real benchmark. It is used to blow the golden horn of war.

However, the knight of war seemed to have his eyes in other directions.

While the others were still fighting each other on the earth and the sea, the knight had his eyes set on the sky. It has to be admitted that such a goal is extremely ambitious, but for the current Governor. There is no worse goal.

"It's called self-employment."

The Governor rubbed the corners of his dry eyes with a slight headache.

"In order to select a pure spokesperson, a thorough outsider was chosen. But it didn't occur to me that this outsider didn't care about the game at all. ”

"'The Ghost of the Pacific'. In a word, it is a proverb. A monster that has decided to completely break away from the human world, what is it that is not a ghost? If I'm not mistaken, he made a statement two years ago, right? The one who claims to change this deformed world or something. ”

"It's to have a correct view of the relationship between the ship's mother and humans."

"Ahh All in all, something like that. ”

The Governor laughed dryly at the impeachment letter on the table, which was fiercely worded and ink-stained, and from which intimidated bigwigs had been intimidated.

"Young people are really elusive creatures, and if it were that young man from two years ago, he would have understood the current situation. It's a shame that I'm two years late. The storm in the Pacific Ocean has gradually blown, but it does not belong to humanity today. ”

"Your Excellency, please don't do this."

"Ahaha, just kidding. Then choose the alternative. ”

The Governor said with a smile, placing the information of the candidate on the table. Looking at the immature face, which was no more than twenty years old, a solemn expression flashed on the governor's face.

"The eldest son of the Governor of Alaska? The political element was too strong, and if it weren't for the knight stepping into the sky, he wouldn't have been a good choice. But now I can only pull out the tallest of the short. Richelieu, please. Invite him over. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor."

The blonde shipwreck nodded silently, and turned to leave the empty governor's palace.

The old man looked at the space that had become empty in an instant, and sighed lonely. The voice of lamentation, as if regretting something, echoed in the empty room.

"The world is not as good as I want, ten of ......" (to be continued)
