Chapter 1: Dussand's Decision

It is never heroes who lead social change. It is a change that occurs naturally, has objectivity and initiative, and is difficult to be reversed.

Summer in Newsar is here.

As a planet with a long orbit, the change of seasons in Newsar is slow and long-lasting. And in the gradually rising temperatures, a chill was floating silently in the air throughout Newsar.

After becoming the de facto ruler of Newsar, the Great Purge led by Duchamp had been going on for more than two months.

Just look at Duchamp how much damage a middle-aged man who has lost the love of his beloved and is truly the de facto ruler of a planet can wreak havoc. Under his orders, more than 20,000 people have been put on gallows or guillotined in two months.

All the individuals who worked for the mining complex, all the companies and individuals who had helped the mining complex, and those who were dissatisfied with Duchamp's rule, were all purged and slaughtered. Even those who were suspicious and sympathetic to the mass purges fell victim to Duchamp's rage.

The head of the person who kills is rolling, and the heart of the killing is terrifying. No one could stop Duchamp, not even Dussand, who held the military power.

Dussander was relieved of all duties by his father after Androni's death.

Whether it's the job of Acting Interim Director of Newsar Aika, or the Balford Auto Factory...... Even Rosen's armed security guards were directly dismantled by Duchamp and then filled into the Newsal National Army under the command of Colonel Philip.

This kind of heavy hand on his son is not because Duchamp is trying to shield his son from any danger or political challenge through his own actions - he does not have the brain.

Duchamp did believe, and was convinced, that Dussander needed to take the main responsibility for Androni's death. And for good reason—why don't you strengthen your protection for Androni when you're sure you have to rebel against the Empire? Why can you still let her go out like this? Why were only 12 people used to rescue them?

Duchamp's anger was justified and there was no room for turnaround. His feelings for his son now are almost nothing but anger and, perhaps, in the deepest part of his heart, some sympathy for the same victim of the loss of his family.

This sympathy may be the fundamental reason why he allowed Dussart to act freely.

Dussand, who had been relieved of all his duties and had lost all his strength, did not get angry or sad.

He's still working hard.

"It's not going to work." Dussand, as usual, arrived at the House of Commons in Newsar in his car. With a plan in his hand, he broke into the Internal Affairs Committee in a hurry. "In the process of distribution, there must be fewer intermediate distribution links, and every time a spoonful of flour passes through a distribution link, maybe half of it will be deducted! Food sent by the Federation must be used sparingly......"

The staff of the House Committee stood up in a panic, and they looked at each other, hoping that their colleagues would say something first...... But no one dared to open their mouths to speak.

"Mr. Lord, without going through these intermediate links, we simply cannot guarantee the timeliness of the distribution of materials." A woman's voice came from the office, "Timeliness is more important than no corruption—people who starve don't need food." ”

Dussaint followed the voice and looked over, the Marquise was looking up at Dussand, and she said very helplessly, "Your idea is very good, but you still have to think about the reality." ”

Dussand, whose proposal was rejected, was not annoyed, he put down the papers in his hand, walked up to the Marquise and asked, "You are now in charge of the Interior Committee?" ”

The Marquise de Lafayette sat in the same place where Dussart had previously worked on the House Council. Everything on the table that belonged to Dussart was gone, and the Marquise's personal belongings were placed.

"Yes, the Archon's order was given yesterday at dinner." The Marquise replied very calmly, wondering whether she was simply answering questions or taking the opportunity to demonstrate.

"It's been a long time since I've had dinner with my father." Dusson didn't care, he thought for a moment and said, "Since you have your own opinion, then I won't bother for now." With that, he walked to the door, as if he was about to leave.

The Marquise hurriedly stopped Dussand, she looked around with some embarrassment, and then whispered, "If you have any suggestions or things that I need to implement...... Then write me a letter raft directly. It's a bit of a risk to go straight to the committee – I don't know if anyone will be informed. ”

"I have nothing to hide from my father." Dussaint very briefly rejected the marquise's offer, then turned and walked out of the room.

Although he did not look back, Toussart was quite sure that the staff members of the House Committee might all be relieved at the same time by now - none of them wanted to be involved in the "family conflict" between Dussart and Duchamp. After all, Duchamp is now the de facto supreme ruler of Newsar, and Dussart is Duchamp's only child. If you annoy either of these two people, I am afraid that you will not have their good fruit to eat in the future.

As soon as he left the committee, Dussander saw Escobar. This fat man has lost a lot of weight in a month, and the look on his face has become much haggard. Due to his close relationship with Dussand, Escobar also suffered some "unwarranted disasters". He was kicked out of his position as head of the Interior Bureau of Newsal and replaced him with the role of deputy chairman of the Home Affairs Committee.

said that he was the vice chairman, but in fact, he was essentially a mascot responsible for running errands and signing signs. Almost all the power is handed over, not to mention, his daily work is not ordinary. Every shipload of supplies sent from the Star Sea Federation needs to be received by Escobar, collected in the warehouse, and then forwarded to the internal affairs bureaus and peripheral agencies in other cities.

It's a hectic and tedious task—if he doesn't send and receive the right amount of supplies, Escobar will probably have to prepare a list of executions for the next month. But not only did he not have any resentment, but he was very satisfied with the position.

Moreover, his attitude towards Dussander has always maintained the original slightly "flattering" closeness. And didn't stay away from Dussand, like everyone else.

"Mr. Lord." Escobar, who was in a hurry with a sweaty hair, saw Dusand and took the initiative to say hello, "You haven't been here for a long time. ”

"yes, almost...... Half a month, right? Dussaint smiled and stopped, he looked at Escobar who was hurrying over and asked, "How are you doing in your new position?" Can you still adapt? ”

"I haven't been this fulfilling in years." Escobar smiled, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "The operations department and the rest of the area are all in place, just waiting for your orders." ”

In the crowded House of Commons, all the staff walked around Dussander as if they were hiding from the plague, and Escobar's low-voiced report was not heard by anyone.

"It's a last resort." Dussander sighed, he lowered his head to look at the relief food distribution plan he had written in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm going to talk to my father again tonight, things shouldn't have come to this point. ”

Escobar looked at the little lord in front of him with some sympathy, "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say that...... But now there is no time for you to grieve. ”

Duchamp, who fell into madness because of Androni's death...... He killed too hard, and he killed too many people.

The execution of 20,000 means that at least 80,000 have lost their loved ones. This is on the basis that no member of the family died in the Newsar massacre.

The 20,000 executed members of the mining complex were not themselves directly involved in the Neussar massacre, they were just ordinary workers.

But Duchamp didn't care about these at all, and if he wanted to avenge his wife, he had to kill the heads of the people, and the people he killed were terrified.

He is a wounded behemoth with the greatest hostility towards all.

This kind of behavior, if placed in Orin's play, is of course a legitimate and tragic heroic action. But in reality, Duchamp's large-scale "purge" has already had a huge negative impact on Newsard.

Most of the staff of the mining consortium who remain in Newsard are professional technicians. They have extensive experience in mining and beneficiation, and have quite good management skills. What's more, the vast majority of them are natives of Newsal.

If you continue to kill like this, you will soon kill all the rebels and relatives, and you will completely chill people's hearts.

According to the intelligence network of the high-ranking goblins scattered by Escobar, small resistance groups have emerged in some of the cities dominated by mining. These organizations are made up of workers and managers of the mining consortium and are growing rapidly.

It is not surprising that such an organization has appeared, but what really made Dussander unable to sit still was the birth of an organization called the "El Party".

Other rebel groups have no political programme of their own, and they do not have a clear goal of action. Their composition and activities, to put it bluntly, are just for survival.

But the Ayr Party is different, this organization has had a clear political program and goals since its birth.

Their slogan was, "Restore Newsar to the glory of His Majesty the Emperor." And in order to achieve this, the Al-El Party has come up with a clear course of action.

In all locations, strike down or even kill the ruling officials of Newsar by any means until the glory of His Majesty the Emperor is ushered in.

Such a political program and means of action certainly sound stupid, but it arouses Dussand's high level of vigilance – an organization with a clear political program, clear and implementable means...... Its power is staggering.

Something must be done immediately to stop the development of this El Party.

Even if Duchamp is still reluctant to meet Dussand, he still intends to give it a try. If you can convince your father, everything is easy to say. If you can't convince ......

Dussaint sighed inwardly.

The massacre and then coup d'état in just a month is not a good one.
