Chapter 21 Cognitive Biases
After discussing the legislative work with his mother for a while, Dussart was the first to leave the House of Commons.
He had a hunch that he would be busy for the next month or two. And Dussand's hunch turned out to be surprisingly correct.
A great deal of information about Lafayette was sent to Dussand's office in the Newsal Heraldic Administration. Every day, Dussander had to make time to read at least two hours of material and make quick judgments.
There was only one clue he needed - what was it that caught Byrne's suspicions?
Dussart himself had no interest in whether Mr. Marquis was loyal to the Empire, whether the Marquis himself was loyal to the Empire, his allies, or simply a Commonwealther, which had nothing to do with Dussand.
All he cared about was how to get Monsieur Marquis out of this mess. Or prolong the process of him drowning in trouble as long as possible.
Truth be told, Dussander would never want to see Lafayette hanged or beheaded, as long as there was a choice. But if that happens, it's best in a few years - after his dad becomes commander of the Imperial Guard fleet, or gets the title of count.
If a middle-ranking aristocrat wants to make a name for himself in Newsar's political circles, he must be attached to a high-ranking nobleman. The high-ranking nobles, on the other hand, have objects they need to cling to.
Dussaint opened the information that had been filed for last year, and after reading it for a while, he suddenly began to frown.
Monsieur Marquis has halted seventeen orders from the Imperial Forestry Department in the last year.
Seventeen orders were all the same thing, and the Imperial Forestry Department demanded that "at least five thousand tons" of seaweed seeds be sown in the sea of Newsar. And Mr. Marquis's refusal was always the same reason - this plan could be a huge blow to the inhabitants of Newsar, who relied heavily on the fish.
To be honest, Dussaint never knew about it. He had no idea of the Imperial Forestry Department's plan - in fact, it might be the first time that the Imperial Forestry Department had tried to extend its influence into the oceans of the Colony Star.
"Newsar residents who rely heavily on the fish" is actually referring to the residents of Bosenke and Finn County. When did the Marquis become so concerned about the poor?
It's not that Monsieur Marquis is a fool like the Duke, he's much smarter than the Duke. The Marquis de Lafayette knew very well that the oppression of the poor would bring nothing good, only a stain on his name.
But Dussart did not think that the marquis understood that "by making the poor rich, it is very easy to make more money from them".
The name is stained with disregard for the lives of the poor, and the "sin" of the high nobility that cannot even be called in the empire. This is a "mistake" at best.
Compared to the Imperial Forestry Administration, which alienated and even defied his attachment, the lives of all the poor people in the thirty counties of Finn were not worth mentioning.
It's a doubt, it's definitely a doubt. The nobles of the empire began to care more about the lives of the poor than the intentions of one of the two giants of the empire, and there must be something seriously wrong.
Dussander was convinced that Androni cared about the lives of the poor because of her compassion for life. Duchamp's concern for the lives of the poor stemmed from his adherence to his professional ethics.
And Dussander cares about the lives of the poor because he loves these people who were born in the empire but still struggle to live.
They are also human beings, flesh and blood people like themselves.
Fear the people, for they are powerful. Love the people, because they are so loving. Have mercy on the people, for they are in distress. Care about the people, because they are you.
It is reasonable, logical, and the evidence is conclusive.
So, which gear in the head of the Marquis is broken?
Dussaint was puzzled.

"It's ...... What's that? Dussaint was puzzled. He stood at the door of the trial production workshop of the automobile manufacturing plant, looking at the unrecognizable 59 in front of him, and his mind was in a mess.
"Designed according to your concept, a prototype made with the actual needs of the Army and Navy." Polina looked a little tired. She was covered in iron filings from oil and rivets that had joined the steel plates, and she smelled of sweat that she hadn't showered in at least four days.
Dusand was well acquainted with such Polina, and when he was "creating" the car, when he was "carving" a luxury officer's car, the great mechanic often appeared in front of him in such a dress, and exuded an undisguised smell of sweat.
In the past, when Polina appeared like this, she would always bring at least one piece of the Empire's industrial masterpiece with her. This makes her look extraordinarily beautiful.
But now...... When looking at this "Type 59" that was so changed by the devil that Dusand couldn't even recognize it, Dussaint only felt that his stomach was on fire.
What's this?
The beautiful oval turret was changed to a three-armoured firing position arranged in a "fret" pattern on a ring. And in the center of the "Pin" glyph, there is a short cannon that looks thick and short.
In a word...... Ugly.
"In all three positions, a double-barreled rapid-fire gun from the Anti-Float Ship Division of the Imperial Garrison Navy will be installed." Polina pointed to the strange "tank" behind her and said, "There are six rapid-fire guns, which can be switched between high-explosive or armor-piercing shells at will. Powerful enough to penetrate any model of Steam Knight at a position of a thousand yores. โ
"A thousand yore?" Dusson's eyes widened, "They can still see the target at this distance?" โ
"It's difficult." Polina spread her hands and said, "So we changed the shooting scale to 600 yols and mixed the standard ammunition with the shooting indicator ammunition. โ
"What about protection?" Dusson looked at the three open-top firing ports and asked, "This thing is open-topped, how can it defend against attacks from overhead?" โ
"Not defensive." Polina looked at Dussander a little strangely, and then said, "Whether it's the army or the navy, their combat scene is in the field. Except for direct fire from Confederate naval vessels, there will be no fire from above to tanks. โ
Dussaint blinked, then tried to excuse the Type 59 prototype, "but such a design is very detrimental to defense against anti-armor attacks......"
"My good lord, of course your design is clever, but the Allies don't try to cut through armor with a three-inch cannon." Polina sighed and said, "The Confederates have only two options when it comes to striking the Iron Knights - also use the Iron Knights to destroy ours, or use the eight-inch guns on their ships to plow everything on the ground that is half an inch above the soil. In the second attack, no matter how thick the armor plates you put on the tank, it will eventually break through. โ
After listening to this, Dussander looked at the open-top mobile firepower tank in silence, and then sighed deeply.
Requirements and application scenarios are the core factors that determine the final appearance of the product.
