Grady wasn't deceiving the bug, what he said was true.

Indeed, when the Wings of Liberty were first established, there was a time when the highest purpose of the organization was to "fight against the new empire", but the good times did not last long, and the wings of freedom, which was in the ascending period, was brutally suppressed by the new empire, and was once on the verge of being wiped out.

In order to tide over the difficulties, the then precarious Wings of Liberty chose to make some compromises, with Grady in the background, and after several covert contacts with the de facto rulers of the new empire, the two sides soon reached a very tacit agreement.

First of all, the Wings of Liberty and the new empire will no longer engage in large-scale confrontations, and the two sides will each demarcate their own rough borders, and it will be important to maintain the posture of "well water does not interfere with river water" in the future.

Second, as the weaker party in the negotiations, Wings of Freedom had to provide the new empire with research materials related to the Psychic Shock program, and this "provision" was not a one-time offer, but would have to be "provided" on time in the future.

Finally, Wings of Liberty has to do some inhumane things for the new empire's "Apocalypse" project, such as capturing living subjects for experiments, cleaning up failed test subjects, and so on.

Of course, this is all done by Grady in secret, and not many people in Freedom Wings know about it, most of it is done by himself, and some is done by his henchmen.

All in all, Wings of Liberty has been a vassal of the new empire since then, and there is no room for bargaining with each other.

In fact, it is not that the new empire does not have the ability to exterminate the wings of freedom, but the new empire is not monolithic internally, and if the wings of freedom exist, the new empire can still form a fist to achieve the goal of unanimity with the outside world.

If the Wings of Freedom did not exist, the new empire would be safe from the outside, and all kinds of contradictions hidden within it would likely erupt, and the actual ruler of the new empire obviously did not want to see such a situation happen, so he did not completely strangle the wings of freedom that were already in a desperate situation at that time, but left the wings of freedom, and used the wings of freedom to exclude dissent.

On the surface, it seems that he led the Wings of Freedom to escape from the encirclement of the New Empire, but in fact, the New Empire deliberately let him and the Wings of Freedom go, otherwise it would be impossible for the Wings of Freedom at that time to successfully escape to a place outside the law under the encirclement and interception of the New Empire.

So the Wings of Liberty and the New Empire remained stable in each other, and years passed in a flash.

Just as the undercurrent within the new empire is surging, after a short period of stability, there are also voices different from Grady within the Wings of Freedom, which is deliberately concealed by Grady, so that many people do not know the inside story of the past, and the relieved people feel that the relationship between the current Wings of Freedom and the new empire is too ambiguous, which is not in line with the original intention of the establishment of the Wings of Freedom.

It just so happened that at that time, Worm's father joined the Wings of Freedom with Galahad, Himmler and others, especially Worm's father, because of his unique personal charm, he was quite popular among young people, and it didn't take long for him to faintly have the ability to compete with Grady.

To tell the truth, Grady still admires the little worm and his father, who is knowledgeable, capable, and courageous, - Grady never expected that it was this young man who was favored by himself who would later drive himself out of the wings of freedom.

But even so, Grady never regretted letting the young man join Wings of Freedom in person, even though there was a disagreement between the two sides about the future of Wings of Freedom, and Grady still admires the young man to this day.

By the way, there was something Grady didn't make clear to the worm.

When Grady and a large number of his men broke away from the Wings of Freedom and came to an oasis thousands of miles away, he did not have any contact with Himmler, in short, Himmler's later betrayal of the worm's father was not instructed by Grady.

It is true that Himmler provided information about the "Psychic Shock" program to the New Empire, which Grady had asked him to do, but at that time, the Wings of Liberty and the New Empire were still inclined to "cooperate with each other", although the Wings of Liberty had a low status in this partnership.

However, Himmler is now equivalent to handing over the entire Wings of Freedom to the hands of the New Empire, and his behavior still makes Grady feel very unhappy, after all, the reason why Grady was willing to bow his head and endure it was to save the Wings of Freedom, not really want to be a dog for the New Empire.

……

After saying the previous words, Grady and the worm fell silent, and Grady thought to himself why he had to tell the little girl everything, and the worm was deeply shocked by the dirty truth.

"What, scared?"

After a moment of silence, Grady watched the expression on the worm's face change one after another, he pinched the cigar for a long time, but still did not light it, and after thinking about it, Grady put the cigar back in the drawer.

"So I'll just say, you young people are too simple," Grady shook his head slightly, "and you think that if you run to the oasis, stand in front of me, and babble a few words with a small mouth, I'll be furious and take the Resistance that I've worked so hard to run for years to fight Himmler?" It's naïve. ”

"Even if I didn't assign Himmler to do those things, even if it were, I wouldn't use my entire wealth to fight Himmler, first, he is now relying on the new empire behind him, and second, he didn't provoke me."

"I'm so old, I've seen too many of these things, I can understand your feelings about trying to save your father, but understandable doesn't mean I'm going to help you...... Okay, that's all for all this stuff, and now it's time to get down to business. ”

"Hand over that string of code."

"W-What? What code? ”

The worm was confused by Grady's words, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Don't pretend to be garlic with me," Grady's gaze was cold, "I know your father must have left the code to you, who else can he give it to besides you?" Galahad? He didn't even know there was such a thing. ”

His face was full of doubts, and the worm felt as if he had flipped several pages in a row while reading a comic book, missing a plot point, otherwise he couldn't understand what Grady was saying.
