Chapter 142: Kill a Man
"Do you think the Blade Starfleet will come to the rescue of Mogan Prison?" The underground warden spreads his hands.
"Isn't it their duty to protect F404 Star Mogan Prison?" Zhou Sen was a little puzzled by the reaction of the underground prison warden, in his opinion, it was normal for the Blade Starfleet to send troops to save Mogan Prison.
"No, their duty is to defend the outer space of the F404 star, not the F404 star and the Mogan Prison."
"Does it make a difference?" Zhou Sen was a little confused.
"The difference is huge. To put it simply, if there is an enemy invasion in outer space, then it is the duty of the fleet to resist and defend, and the prisoners of Mogan Prison escape into outer space, and the fleet also has the duty of destruction, but that refers to outer space, not the surface of the F404 star. In short, Starfleet will not intervene in the management of Mogan Prison, even if Mogan Prison riots, they will stand by and watch, the only thing they can do is to control the situation in F404...... In layman's terms, even if we control the planet, they won't care, but if we try to escape, they will destroy us unceremoniously. ”
"......" Zhou Sen was a little unable to understand this management model.
"I know you can't understand it, but that's what it is, and besides, Starfleet and Mogan Prison are not affiliated with each other, and no one will listen to anyone. However, it is precisely this management method that avoids collusion between the fleet and the prison, and also leads to the fact that there has not been a successful escape time in Mogan Prison for more than 700 years, because no one can deal with Starfleet in outer space at the same time as Mogan Prison......"
"It's really watertight." Zhou Sen sighed.
"Of course, if there are special circumstances, Mogan Prison can also ask Starfleet for help, but it seems that it is impossible now." The Underground Prison Warden said.
"Why?"
"The previous meteorite shower caused Mogan Prison to suffer heavy losses, and according to the test report that the meteorite came from outer space, the prison filed an accusation against the Blade Starfleet from the human federal government, which led to the Blade Fleet and the prison side to fight each other, and then you killed Wang Zhong, who was friendly with the military, and deepened the conflict between the two sides, just a month ago, the angry Captain Michael also led a mecha unit to raise the teacher and destroy the prison gates. Now that Mogan Prison is in trouble, they can't even gloat, send troops to rescue, don't even think about it! ”
"So domineering." An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth, he had long known the news that Captain Michael had smashed the gate.
"The fleet is an army formation, under the jurisdiction of the military department of the federal government, so naturally a small warden will not be taken seriously," a bitter smile appeared on the corner of the underground warden's mouth, he was trapped in this steel prison, more because of the starfleet in outer space that changed guards every six months.
"In other words, if the human federal government doesn't send rescue troops, and alien creatures keep invading, wouldn't it be that Mogan Prison will be trapped alive?"
"Theoretically, the federal government would send a police force to rescue or order the military to send troops, but the process would be quite long."
"Why?"
"This is very complicated to say, because the human federal government is composed of five empires, in fact, the federal government itself does not have an army, all the armies are affiliated with the armies of the five empires, and obey the command of the federal government, and because the army finances are provided by the five empires, the army is actually yang and yin to the federal government...... Young people, to put it in layman's terms, are all caused by money, the originally powerful human federal government is spending more and more, and the fiscal revenue is beyond its means, resulting in a series of chain reactions, in peacetime, it is okay, you can tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, but once you encounter natural and man-made disasters, the centralized power will quickly collapse......"
"You know so much." Zhou Sen expressed his sincere admiration. He found that the underground prison warden was really knowledgeable and talented, and there was almost nothing he didn't understand, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as knowing astronomy and geography.
"You'll find out later. More than 700 years ago, there was a political strongman in the five star fields, he forced the five empires to submit through a series of wars, ended the chaos of life, established a strong human federal government, and let mankind enter a period of peaceful development, however, no matter how powerful the regime is, it will slowly age, for more than 700 years, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people, some important departments of the government are also controlled by some big families, and the financial revenue is getting less and less when the society is developed, and the government agencies have become bloated and procrastinatedThe burden is getting heavier and heavier, and the elite group who hold 80 percent of the wealth does not bear the obligation to pay taxes, but uses their power to evade taxes, all relying on the support of ordinary people to pay taxes, resulting in the local government being powerful, and the federal government is gradually being hollowed out......"
Zhou Sen sensed that the underground prison warden was a little sad.
"How do I solve this problem?" Zhou Sen couldn't help but ask.
"Break and start over."
"You mean to go to war?" Zhou Sen was stunned. In Zhou Sen's view, war is an extremely distant thing, because the wars recorded in history are all more than 700 years ago.
"The concentration of wealth has led to a series of social problems that are difficult to return, and there is no way to do it." The underground warden shook his head.
"Can't it be reformed?"
"Of course it can be reformed, the question is, who will reform? Do you let the elite who control 80 percent of their wealth reform and distribute their wealth to others? Well, maybe one or two people will be willing to reform, but this ratio is not enough to turn things around, the only way is to start over, and this is the ultimate fate of all powerful empires, from the Tang Dynasty, Ming and Qing dynasties on the ancient earth, as well as the Roman Empire to the United States and Britain, are more and more developed society, taxes are getting less and less, government departments are becoming more and more bloated, social welfare and urban maintenance costs are getting higher and higher, and finally leading to the collapse of the empire's finances, which is a closed loop. The underground prison warden had a melancholy look on his face.
Zhou Sen looked at the underground prison warden in a daze, and he suddenly felt that this old man was very strange.
Is this the underground warden you know?
"What are you looking at?" The underground prison warden couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhou Sen looking at him.
"You're not bad." Zhou Sen said.
"Bad...... What is the definition of bad? The underground warden laughed dumbly.
"What do you think?"
"Men should kill, kill mercilessly, immortal karma, all in killing! Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male! You say, among those heroes and emperors in history, how many of them are benevolent? ”
"Immortal karma is all in killing...... Does it mean that you have to kill people to make a meritorious achievement? ”
"Hahaha...... Young man, you are the number one bandit in the interstellar world, and you actually ask such a childish and ridiculous question. ”
"I'm ashamed." Zhou Sen's face had a fever, and he forgot his current identity.
"Young man, killing one person can save hundreds of millions of people, how do you choose?"
"Kill someone."
"Yes. That's it! Stick to your original intention and have a clear conscience! The underground warden said meaningfully.
"I'm curious, why did they keep you locked up for more than seven hundred years?" Zhou Sen asked.
