On the way back to Brady from Viscount Cremont's domain, Robin weighed every word the nobles had recounted to him in his mind. This made him begin to realize that he was now probably involved in a dangerous power struggle.

Considering Robin's past experiences, it's not the first time Robin has dealt with a situation like this. The current situation is very similar to that of the first time he set foot in the Reméng de Confederation, when the Osvid and Rex families, who held most of the power in the country, were also engaged in a political struggle in the upper echelons of the Federation. But unlike the political struggles of the Federation, in the Hoffman Empire, the aristocracy had far more power than the politicians under the "people" system, and they were a dangerous group of dictators who could arbitrarily put their personal will above others.

They believe in power, enjoy unparalleled privileges, and even have their own set of rules of the game. Therefore, the difficulty and danger of rashly stepping into their power game under such unfavorable conditions is far from comparable to that of federal politics.

But now the situation is that Robin has no way to withdraw from this dangerous game, and the agreement with the Marquis of Timos has pushed him to the opposite side of Earl Huggins, and it has become impossible to break the agreement with the Marquis of Timos, which puts him in a complete dilemma.

For Robin's current predicament, Anse El blamed himself very much along the way. Because Robin's current predicament is entirely due to his unfamiliarity with the power situation of the Empire, and as a planner... The only member of the team who was familiar with the Hoffmann Empire, and Anse Airri was primarily responsible for this.

At this moment, seeing Robin's frowning and frowning appearance, Ansel took the initiative to sit in front of Robin and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, this is my dereliction of duty." I think... I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as a staff officer again......,........." Anse El looked very depressed when he said this, because after joining Robin's team, Anse Air had never really proven his ability. And the successive setbacks made him begin to doubt himself, suspecting that he might not be as good as he thought.

“……………”

Hearing Ansel's words, Robin raised his head slightly stunned: "The top priority now is how to solve the problem after it arises, rather than to hold it accountable." Besides, the decision to cooperate deeply with the Marquis of Timos is my personal decision, and it is not in your plan beforehand. So, I am the one who is responsible for this incident, and you don't need to take the blame on yourself. …，

Hearing that Robin didn't blame himself, Anse El couldn't help but feel guilty, but his guilt was not weakened by Robin's words: "But after all, this is my dereliction of duty......" "Regarding the power struggle between the great nobles, this is not a level that you, a replicant, can reach. And from the very beginning we were already aware of the contradictions between the Earl of Huggins and the Marquis of Timos, and it was precisely because we took advantage of this that we were able to secure a large number of favorable terms. Now, our only mistake was that we miscalculated the level of conflict between the two sides, and the scale of the mutant rebellion. Speaking of this, Robin paused slightly, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously and said, "I have some ideas, but before that, I have to understand some of the unspoken rules of aristocratic battles in more detail." "Unspoken rules?" Ans El lù out of the puzzled god sè.

"Yes, I need to know if assassinations, stakes, and the like will happen in the Empire when the nobles are fighting each other? And will the power struggle of the nobles be restricted, you know, the nobles all have their own powerful sī people's armed forces, if there is a contradiction, will they send troops to attack each other? "It's impossible." Anse El understood what Robin wanted to ask, shook his head and said: "What you said can't happen in the Empire, you should know that the Hoffman Empire, like the Nine-Star Republic, is under the all-round supervision of artificial intelligence all day long." This right of concealment also does not exist for an empire where imperial power is supreme. In the edicts of the Empire, there were explicit provisions prohibiting assassination and war between nobles and nobles, and those who committed such crimes were to be stripped of their titles. Therefore, in the Hoffman Empire, no matter how fierce the contradiction between the nobles and the nobles is, it is absolutely impossible for the situation you are talking about. "Artificial intelligence ......," Robin nodded thoughtfully.

That's right, in addition to the difference in political systems, the Hoffman Empire and the Republic are actually very similar in many places, and they also have a strict legal system extended by artificial intelligence. The only difference between the two countries is that the Hoffman Empire had a higher material level and greater class differences, while the republics were more equal. Therefore, the Hoffman Empire, like the Republic, had a good xìng system with fair competition as the main theme, and as for the scheming and trickery, there was no soil for survival in the empire.

The key to the formation of such a fair competition system is the strong operational research ability and all-weather and all-round supervision ability of artificial intelligence.

In the republic, due to the system, this kind of all-weather supervision of the central computer "Gaia" was once criticized by people. Because under the premise of advocating equality for all, no one is willing to accept this invisible constraint, let alone accept it. Control of a computer. In the Empire, under the system of imperial supremacy established by Hoffmann the Great, such a situation as in the Republic did not arise.

The Hoffman Empire implemented a system of coexistence of centralization and feudalism, and had an extremely strict class system. In this system, the people are strictly divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Thanks to the existence of artificial intelligence, this class system embodies not only the privileges of the aristocracy, but also another potential keyword, "fairness."

No matter what kind of background you come from, as long as you can prove that you are good, your expertise is unmatched. Then in the empire, you will surely enjoy a position commensurate with your abilities. It is precisely because of this that so many people are willing to come all the way to the empire and look forward to being a part of the empire.

Of course, some people may criticize the descendants of aristocratic families who are born with golden keys in their mouths.

Indeed, the descendants of the nobility had a great advantage over the commoner nobility in the initial stage. But from the perspective of the Empire, this is also an alternative manifestation of fairness. Because after the birth of these noble descendants, they inherited not only the superior status of the nobility, but also inherited the powerful talents given to them by their genes. Therefore, under the imperial system, they should be privileged at birth with extraordinary talents. How far they can grow in the future is determined purely by whether or not they can survive the rigors of the Empire's competitive system.

The word "fairness" is more vividly embodied in the empire than in the republic, and "class" is deeply rooted in the ideas of the people of the empire. As the best people in the Empire, the royal family, which represents the best blood in the Empire, has supreme authority. Therefore, the royal family implements round-the-clock,

Omnidirectional supervision was seen as the prerogative of the royal family over the aristocracy. This is recognized by all citizens and aristocrats, after all, in the five million years of human evolution, the concept of class has never really disappeared. Therefore, although it is also the all-weather supervision of the central computer, in the empire, the supervision of artificial intelligence represents the royal family and Hoffmann the Great.

The instinct to worship the strong allows people to bow to the strong. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
