There are too many imperial secrets in Hoffmann's words, and there is no doubt that if these secrets are leaked, perhaps the whole empire will fall into an unprecedented state of flux!]

According to Hoffmann the Great's own account, he never had any children after the implantation of the Myceni cells, and all his children were born before 2030. Just looking at this, it seems that this is enough to arouse suspicion, but considering that he will be 68 years old in 2046, it is not surprising that he will not be able to have children after the age of 68.

And among his children, the youngest Olivia, Hoffman, that is, Robin's late mother, was born in 2029.

And the eldest second son, Yuraia, Hoffman was born in 2018, and as for the eldest son, Wrightsworth,

Hoffman was born in 2007.

The youngest son, Yuraia, Hoffman, is now sixty-six years old, while the eldest son, Waddworth, is seventy-seven years old. And because they all only inherited the genes of Hoffmann the Great's scholars, they were not even as healthy as Hoffmann the Great, who was one hundred and six years old.

There is no successor, which is probably the biggest hidden danger of the Hoffman Empire.

Relying on the forcible implantation of McCeny cells, Hoffman went from being a scholar to becoming the strongest man in the galaxy. As long as he is still sitting on the throne, then the three major dukes of the empire will definitely not dare to have evil thoughts. But the current situation is that Hoffmann the Great's sons, grandsons, and even great-grandchildren are mere scholars, and they do not have the talent to possess great power, let alone the ability to take over Hoffmann the Great's army, and use strong force to intimidate the crowd like him.

It is conceivable that if Hoffmann the Great had died one day, he would not have been able to rule the empire with the army and a group of scholars he left behind. Humans are creatures that live in the hope of yù, and at that time, the three dukes and some other great nobles will inevitably peek into the core technology of replicants mastered by the Hoffman family. If that happens, there is no doubt that the human world will be plunged into civil strife on an unprecedented scale, and Hoffmann the Great's ambitions to expand humanity endlessly will come to a halt. At that time, the invasion of alien creatures may sweep through the galaxy like a fire, completely extincting the human species.

"Why are these things being told to us? Aren't you afraid that we'll leak these secrets? Concubine Ran seemed to have some faint understanding in her heart, but Robin still couldn't help but ask such words.

"You won't." Hoffmann the Great looked at Robin kindly: "You know very well what this will do. And it seems to me that you are a gift from heaven to me and to the whole human world, so I must let you know these things. ”

“……………”

Hoffmann the Great's intentions had already been revealed, which made Robin's breathing shortness unconsciously, and his heart felt as if it was about to jump out of his mouth, so that he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

Hoffmann seemed to notice Robin's unusual behavior at this moment and smiled, "I hate your father, but I have to admit that he left me one of the best grandsons in the world."

Robin, you are the most suitable person to inherit my throne..."

"Nope! ~" As soon as Hoffmann the Great's words came out, Robin instinctively refused: "I am a member of the Republic, and I have no intention of allegiance to the Empire." ”

"Your bloodline makes you a member of the royal family, and as a member of the royal family, you don't need to owe allegiance to me. And after you inherit the throne, you don't need to be loyal to the empire, you only need to be loyal to the entire human world, including your homeland, the Nine-Star Republic, so it's not a contradiction. ”

"But...... But I'm only your grandson, and as far as inheritance is concerned......" Robin struggled to find a word, and it was all too sudden for him, and he was not prepared to accept it all.

"Inheritance? Do you think my empire is one of those old antiques from the primeval era? Hoffman the Great interrupted Robin's argument in a cold voice: "Whoever can genetically match the army of replicants left by his father has the right to inherit." This is the law of the empire, and it may seem to you that I am only making such a law to prevent the descendants of the nobility from fighting among themselves over the inheritance, but in fact it is just a retreat I have arranged for myself. ”

"So, as long as you can inherit my army, then the inheritance is yours." Speaking of this, Hoffmann the Great suddenly burst out laughing: "But in fact, if it is really judged according to genes, no one in the royal family can inherit this army, even including myself, and the three dukes are closer to this standard." But... There will always be some corners of the world that hide a lot of secrets, and the core AI of the empire is only responsible for me. I could have forged a genetic certificate that you would inherit this army. You, PS This army of mine is very strong in battle, and with the addition of a steady stream of fresh blood, the combat effectiveness of this army can be maintained for a long time. That's enough time for you to raise your own replicant warriors, and after twenty years, when your own replicants truly grow into warriors, even if this secret of mine is no longer hidden, you already have a true royal army. At that time, no one can oppose you, and you will continue the glory of the empire in my place. ”

"Coco, how can you guarantee that I will be able to raise replicants? You are a product of scientific manufacturing, and so am I! ~I'm also the experimental product of lì Oona, and so am my power 窭"

"Indeed, I thought at one time that you were a pure natural evolution, because among my children, Olivia is the only one born on Brady planet, and so is your father, Luo Cheng. So from the innate genetic conditions, they have the ability to give birth to natural evolution.

To be honest, I was initially disappointed to hear that your force field was also the product of experimentation. However, when I really understood the content of Lì Ona's experiment, I began to understand that the product of your experiment is completely different from me and Dante! ~" Hoffmann the Great looked at Lì Ona on the side: "Dan Ding and I are both products of forcibly implanting non-human genes, and what Odin has done to you is just an extreme environmental experiment, using a high concentration of radioactive substances to form an extreme environment, and forcing your physical potential in this special environment, so as to promote natural evolution under artificial means." ”

When he said this, Hoffmann the Great looked at Lì Ona with some reproach in his eyes: "This experiment is very bold, and it is far more dangerous than the alien gene implantation of Danding and me.

But your mother's and your father's genes have protected you in a subtle way, and the talent they left you with was a very lucky way to survive in this extreme environment, and gave rise to a real force field. So, in terms of genes themselves, you still belong to natural evolution, you still belong to 100% human beings, and you are completely different from me and the person named Dantin. Therefore, the three dukes can have children, and so can you. The three dukes can breed replicants, and so can you! ～”

"But...... However...... "all the reasons he gave were denied by Hoffmann the Great, which made Robin not know what to say for a while."

"Don't rush to make a decision, I can give you time to think about it. You see, judging by my age... I am indeed very old, and all my contemporaries have passed away except your grandfather. But I feel like I have a few more years to live, so you have a few years to consider my suggestion. Hoffmann the Great patted Robin on the shoulder and said like a tolerant elder, "Go see us first...
