Chapter 52: I Think the Council of High Lords is Good! (Ask for a reward, ask for everything, ask for a collection.) )
"Is Your Excellency really Jack Smock?"
Kraft Van Dier's face was full of seriousness.
His question sounded like a very straightforward and stupid question, but it had a different meaning when it reached Chen Guo's ears.
At the same time, it also made Chen Guo have a different idea.
"Is there something unspeakable?" Kraft Van Dill said very intimately, "If there is anything difficult to say, your Excellency can not answer my question. ”
"Your Excellency Kraft Van Dier, I would like to ask you, where will this information be sent in the end?"
"I'll keep it private...... Well, they will be entered into the archives of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs. Kraft Van Dill himself felt that his words were a little untrustworthy, so he directly changed his words without waiting for Chen Guo to ask.
"Oh...... Hir. Kraft Van Dier, please don't be too nervous, I just asked casually...... Indeed, I'm not Jack Smock! ”
"Oh, really?"
Kraft Van Deer suddenly showed an interested expression, he thought that the man in front of him could quibble, explain, and speak all kinds of reasons that sounded reasonable, but could not stand up to scrutiny.
In addition, he also thought that Chen Guo would boldly admit it, but he didn't expect Chen Guo to admit it so decisively, so decisive that he had no defense.
“…… Can you tell me who you are, or what you are? Kraft Van Dill once again showed a pleasant expression, "I'm sorry, maybe I asked a little too direct, but this is a shortcoming that I can't get rid of, I don't like to hide it, but I like to go straight, sorry......"
Listening to the other party's continuous apology, Chen Guo shook his head with a smile, reached out and took out two bottles of spirits from the magic bag, flicked the cap off the bottle with his fingers, and then gave Kraft Van Dier a bottle.
"Your Excellency Kraft Van Dier, you don't have to apologize to me, you can ask any questions you want, to be honest, I love chatting with you!"
Kraft Van Dill reached out and took the spirit, took a sip of his head and said, "Thank you, then please answer my question, who is your Excellency or what is your Excellency?" ”
"I'm human!" Chen Guo also took a sip and put the liquor in his hand aside, "This is a point that is absolutely not allowed to be questioned, but I am different from the human beings you imagined......"
"Oh, that'......"
"I'm a man of the Golden Age!" Chen Guo interrupted Kraft Van Dier's question, "As Your Excellency as an expert from the Intelligence Department of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, you should know about the Eternals!" ”
"Your Excellency is an eternal?" Kraft Van Dill looked surprised, but who knows how much of it was faked.
After all, a mature politician can easily control his facial expressions!
"No, Lord Kraft Van Dier, this body is not the body of the Eternal.
I lost my body forever because of some accident, but my soul was not lost in the chaotic subspace.
I managed to escape from the subspace and take possession of this Jack Smoker's body.
Your Excellency Kraft Van Dier, do you think there is something incredible about what I said! ”
Kraft Van Dill glanced at Chen Guo deeply, nodded first, but shook his head again, "If it were on someone else's, I might be suspicious."
But what Your Excellency has done these days really makes it impossible for me to doubt it.
Your Excellency is growing so fast that I can't update your information as fast as I can.
Although I cannot tell you why I am here, what I can tell you is that one of the tasks of my arrival here is to update your information.
In other words, if the information on Horus and the Rebel Legion is the most popular information in the Empire right now, then your Excellency's information is the second information placed below them...... Your Excellency's current light is too dazzling, and if it weren't for the outbreak of the Horus Rebellion, Your Excellency would have been dead by now. ”
“……”
Chen Guo looked at the internal affairs expert of the Ministry of Intelligence in front of him, and was silent for a while, "His Excellency Kraft Van Dill is really a master of chatting, so I don't know how to continue talking for a while. ”
"I'm sorry!" Kraft van Dill once again began his apology etiquette, "It's true that I'm not very good at chatting, especially on an equal footing...... I've been sitting in the position of housekeeping specialist for one hundred and twenty years, and in those hundred and twenty years, I've almost forgotten how to communicate...... Your Excellency, can we move on to the next questions? ”
"Yes!" Chen Guo nodded.
"Your Excellency...... What do you think of the current human empire?
I mean to give Your Excellency a look at the current Empire of Mankind from the perspective of a visitor from the Golden Age! ”
“…… That's an interesting question! Chen Guo sneered and slowly leaned against the bookshelf behind him, "What do you say!"
I see no hope, no anger, no vitality in the Empire, only stubbornness, ignorance and stupidity...... Sorry, but that's the slightest word I can use after thinking about it! ”
Although Kraft Van Dier's face began to become a little ugly, he still nodded politely, "It's okay, Your Excellency, you can express your thoughts as you like." ”
"Well, in that case, I won't do any more foreshadowing, and go straight to the core, I have a big opinion about the Empire's ban on the use of artificial intelligence later, in my opinion, this is an absolutely ignorant and ignorant child's approach!
Although artificial intelligence is uncontrollable, it represents the progress of the human species, and although the Iron Man War has completely dismantled the human federation in the once golden age, it is not a reason to completely ban artificial intelligence.
In my opinion, the Empire's so-called laws prohibiting artificial intelligence are nothing more than a constraint in a sense to make it easier to rule. ”
Chen Guo glanced at Kraft Van Dier's face.
Kraft Van Dill stopped what he was doing, "Please keep talking, Your Excellency, I'm listening!" ”
“…… Your Excellency Kraft Van Dier, as a courtesy, I would like to say that the next words may make you feel very unhappy.
So, if I say something that upsets you, you can always interrupt me! ”
"Sir, don't worry, I'm a good listener!"
"Your Excellency Kraft Van Dier, to be honest, I don't know anything about politics, and I can only answer your question from what I know...... If I had to say that I knew the most about the Empire, it would probably be the Astarte Legion. ”
"Astarte Legion?" Kraft Van Dill was obviously a little stunned, how could Chen Guo's attitude take a 180-degree turn.
Didn't you just criticize the empire and even the great emperor?
Why did it get to the Astarte Legion again?
Chen Guo looked at Kraft Van Dier's expression, of course he knew what he thought.
He was not stupid, although Chen Guo had a belly of opinions about the emperor and the empire.
But he won't tell it now!
"Yes, Astarte Legion, in fact I admire these extraordinary genetic warriors, and I have a lot of admiration for these genetic warriors who are not afraid of death.
If it weren't for them, I don't know how many other human planets in darkness would have been brutally ruled by chaos and aliens.
But! ”
Chen Guo suddenly changed his words, "Although they have saved mankind, have they really brought hope to mankind?"
Answer: Yes...... Not really!
No one can deny the merits of the Astartes, but it is undeniable that they brought more killing and despair, and that their genetic protogens are often childish.
This includes Robert Kiliman, the king of the five hundred worlds of Otlama!
He wasn't as naïve as I thought he was, and he was a very good politician and diplomat, but that couldn't hide the romantic idealism in him that made me want to vomit! ”
Chen Guo covered his mouth and made an exaggerated vomiting posture, "However, Killiman is still very powerful, at least if I am asked to do it, I will never be able to make the five hundred galaxies develop safely and steadily."
In addition, the salamander is also a respectable existence, and he is the only one who makes me feel close...... Aside from these two, I couldn't feel any affection from the other genotypes, especially Angelon, who I had killed, and Loga, who had escaped from under my roots.
Oh, and the Emperor's Son Genotype, Vogrim.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have any discrimination against this kind of pseudo-girl who likes to dress up like a woman, and the reason I hate him is only because he was able to swing that last sword in the face of his best brother and friend, and threw himself into the arms of Slaanesh.
Tut-tut, Sir Kraft Van Dier, remember what I said, one day, I'm going to pull Slaanesh out of his damn palace with my own hands and shove his head into his **......"
"Your Excellency, let's get back to the topic!" Kraft Van Dill interrupted Chen Guo's self-congratulatory speech with a smile.
Chen Guo grinned, "The galaxy is too vast, the universe is too big, human beings once had a huge territory and territory in the golden age, but unfortunately everything came to naught because of an iron man war, if you have to ask me what I think of the empire, I can only say that everything doesn't seem to be so bad......"
"Isn't it that bad?"
Kraft Van Dill grasped the key point of the problem, and he looked at Chen Guo with a burning gaze, "Could it be that in your impression, the current empire can be said to be very bad?" ”
"Of course, isn't the outbreak of the Horus Rebellion a bad manifestation?"
Chen Guo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The dominance possessed by the genetic prototype is too great, and each Astarte legion is like a vassal king, they have a powerful fleet and Astarte genetic warriors as sharp as a knife.
These are uncontrollable forces for the rule of an empire!
Just like the Horus Rebellion that is breaking out right now, Horus is because he has too much power in his hands, too much authority on his body, and the crown on his head is too dazzling, which caused this rebellion that has plagued the entire empire.
Although the genetic prototypes are the emperor's heirs, they did not grow up with the emperor after all, and some of them even took office without receiving formal education and training, and controlled a huge Astarte army and an equally large fleet!
This is equivalent to handing a long and short knife with a sharp handle to a child whose mind is not yet fully mature!
For example, Angelon, for example, Loga who grew up on a religious planet, and Coz, who grew up on a crime planet......
It is no exaggeration to say that even if there is no Horus Rebellion this time, one day in the future, these powerful vassal kings will become bombs in the empire.
So I'm not surprised by the outbreak of the Horus Rebellion this time, but I feel extremely lucky, because this bomb didn't explode in the future, but exploded right in front of my eyes, once the empire can survive this difficult time, then there will be no more rebellion by vassal kings in the future! ”
Kraft Van Dill nodded and quickly recorded it in the notebook in his hand, and after a while he continued: "Your Excellency, although I don't agree with your opinion very much, I don't completely disagree with it, but I still want to know your opinion on the Empire in general, and ...... in particular,"
Kraft Van Dill didn't say those two words, but Chen Guo didn't have any scruples, "Emperor? ”
"I don't have any opinion about the Emperor, and I agree with him about the establishment of the High Lords' Council, which is a wise decision."
Chen Guo had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "This is a wise decision that I want to laugh!" ’
"Oh, why!" Kraft Van Dier's eyes flashed, and this was the first time he had said that there was a different look in his eyes so far.
"I am a person who has lived through the golden age of the human federation, and I know deeply that only political mutual restraint can make a system go further.
Power can never be gathered in the hands of one person, especially a genetic protogen who doesn't know how long it can live, so I'm full of certainty about the decision to establish the High Lords' Council! ”
Kraft Van Dill looked at Chen Guo seriously, and after a long time, he slowly wrote down on the paper a code word that only he could understand - there was no truth, but it could be controlled!
