Chapter 263: Forming an Alliance (I)

This conversation between Robin and the new triumvirate of the empire culminated in a great alliance. Through this conversation, Robin truly established absolute authority among the new Big Three. And, through Solomon and Jean, he further expanded his influence among young people, causing a large number of talented young people to spontaneously break free from their fathers' grasp and gather under his command.

There were many reasons for this alliance, the most important of which was Robin's strong military performance and overwhelming display of force in the duel, which forced the nobles to bow their heads before the imperial power. In addition to this major factor, another factor is Robin's further interpretation of the New Deal in this conversation, which gives Solomon, Jean and Huggins a very wonderful prospect.

The Empire is a country full of geniuses, and in exaggerated terms, the Empire has almost concentrated more than eighty percent of the geniuses in the human world. And it is the convergence of these geniuses that makes the empire unprecedentedly powerful, far more powerful than any other human kingdom.

In this regard, Hoffmann the Great played a crucial role, and it was his national policy that made the empire a dream country for geniuses, attracting a large number of talented young people to the empire to show their ambitions. However, when a national policy lasts for decades, it will inevitably expose some shortcomings, and over time, these shortcomings will become more prominent, affecting the operation of the entire country.

Now, Robin felt it was time to make some changes.

In Hoffmann the Great's original national policy, he relied on genes and talents to determine people's social status, and through the privileged class of the aristocracy, this talent advantage became more obvious.

It is undeniable that in the early days of the founding of the country, this national policy was a very wise strategy. Relying on the existence of a special group of replicants, Hoffman the Great maximized the power of his talents, causing the empire's national power to expand at a rocket-like speed. However, in essence, it can be found that the current set of policies that determine social status based on genes and talents is not so perfect.

Take genetic evaluation as an example, the empire used genetic evaluation to judge the merits of talents, and directly endowed them with a certain social status through this evaluation. However, if you find out the detailed statistics, you can find that warriors account for a considerable proportion of it, and although the proportion of scholars is equally huge, the treatment and development prospects of scholars after entering the empire are far inferior to those of warriors, so in the empire, most of the powerful nobles are nobles from warriors.

In this regard, although Hoffmann the Great restricted the knightly nobles with the clause that the trainee knights needed to fight in the extragalactic galaxy for five years before they could be honored, this did not prevent the knightly nobles from growing in the empire's power, but also made the knightly nobles promote the subordinate relationship between the big nobles and the minor nobles through the merit system of the army, making the empire evolve into a city-state union full of states within a state, which made the influence of the imperial power on the empire continue to weaken, resulting in huge hidden dangers.

And the ultimate reason for this situation is precisely talent.

Talent is probably the most difficult word to define accurately in the human species. Compared to other species, human beings have a wide variety of talents, and most of them are not simply determined by genetic merits.

Just like the most basic innate physical ability and brain domain ability of human beings, from the perspective of combat, the development of any physical ability is enough to have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary people, and if you have special abilities, the gap between the two will be further widened. However, from an academic or technical point of view, the development of brain domain abilities does not necessarily have immediate results.

In the case of academics, for example, developing brain domain abilities can indeed make people smarter. However, in addition to the need for intelligent intelligence, an academic research and development is more about the accumulation of academic theories and sudden inspiration, and the so-called computing power and information analysis ability can have little effect on the premise of having computers and artificial intelligence. Therefore, the direct effect of talent in academia is far less important than inspiration and daily research.

And this is also true when it comes to technology, and it is true that great talent directly determines whether or not a person can delve into a technology to the pinnacle. However, this kind of technological leadership requires not only the cooperation of academics and science and technology, but also the long-term hard work. Only by truly achieving practice makes perfect, can you make your technology the pinnacle. Therefore, as with academia, technology needs to be proven over time.

In contrast to the academic and technical skills where talent is slow to bear fruit, when it comes to combat, the effect of talent is immediate. This directly led to the promotion of knightly nobles far faster than the academic and technical nobles, and the promotion of the title expanded the territory and military power under their command, coupled with the fact that the academic nobles and technical nobles need to spend a lot of time on academic and technical research, their governance of the territory is far less detailed than that of the knightly nobles, which further widens the gap between their hard power, and gradually prompts the academic nobles and the technical nobles to have to rely on the knightly nobles to survive.

However, when you become a nobleman, you have great power. The knightly nobles gradually forgot their job as warriors, and the existence of replicant warriors allowed them to stay away from the front line, and most of the combat skills they mastered were honed during the five years of fighting in the extragalactic system. In terms of combat power itself, they are simply not comparable to replicant warriors, and it can even be said that in addition to talent and status, these knightly nobles have gradually decayed in a comfortable life. And as the titles became higher and higher, these nobles who held huge power in their hands began to lack sufficient motivation, and gradually began to expose greater ambitions, allowing themselves to gradually evolve from warriors to politicians.

Robin's New Deal is a change based on this situation. The deprivation of the nobles' domains and private armies had no effect on the academic and technical aristocracy, but allowed them to sit back and concentrate on their own research instead of being distracted by mundane affairs. And for the knightly aristocracy, it was completely different. The New Deal deprived them of their parasitic means, so that they could no longer borrow their territories and private armies to expand their rights, and had to return to their original role as warriors.

When the competitors were replaced by the same knightly nobles from the academic and technical nobles who had been slow to achieve results, all they could do was to return to their true colors as warriors and compete with other nobles who were also warriors. However, according to Robin's New Deal, the role of warrior is no longer completely occupied by the knightly class. He divided several arms according to the army structure of the modern army, and all of these arms have distinctive technical characteristics without exception. According to the Skywalker-like technical positioning of the Technocratic Aristocrats, Robin began to add combat skills to the ranks of the Warrior Nobility, so that those civilian warriors or replicant warriors who are not talented but have reached the pinnacle of a certain combat skill also have the opportunity to seek a place in the ranks of the Warrior Nobility.

It was this addition that frightened the knightly nobles who were accustomed to relying on their talents to eat. They have long abandoned their combat skills at this point at all, and just by honing their special abilities, the promotion speed of ordinary nobles will become extremely slow in the fierce competition.
