Chapter 320: I Don't Care
Arcturus Munsk, the most powerful human in the entire sector, is not one of them. Even Blake, the current president of the Yumayan Republic, is not at all comparable to this human emperor. But what is more famous than the identity of the old emperor is his violent rule. Almost everyone in this zone knows that the empire has not changed much compared to the Federation, except that in the past, the rulers of the Federation were those big families, and now only the Mengsk family and the Emperor's staff remain.
Yang Yi thought that Mengsk would summon him, but he didn't expect that it was this special way to let Nova and the ghost agent take him there. Isn't that a ...... Good signal.
However, if he really wanted to stay on Keha, he couldn't have refused. His family knew this very well, and he had no other choice. So when he packed his things and was about to go to Augustgrad with Nova, except for his mother Lin Xi, who had been helping him sort out his clothes and constantly telling him to take care, everyone else remained silent, watching him get ready, and then leaving with Nova.
Black Rose was one of the invitees, and Nova didn't know why. She was well aware of Black Rose's fighting prowess, and she didn't know why Mengsk had put this dangerous creature in the palace. Yang Yi wanted Christina to stay at home with her parents, but Christina insisted on following Yang Yi to the palace. The key is that after Nova asked for instructions, she also got an agreed reply from the palace.
"What is the old emperor doing here? A litter? β
"I don't really want to guess the instructions above." Nova looked into the distance, waiting for their vehicle to arrive, "I'm sure they're not going to mess things up, though." β
"You trust the old emperor so much? Don't you know what bullshit he did? β
"Come on, if you want to rebel against me, you might as well save it." Nova sneered, "I know very well what the empire has done, but when I am tasked with maintaining the empire, if I have to question everything I do, and take the time to analyze who has taken the benefits and who has not, then we can't do anything at all." The empire has developed to this level not just by the so-called 'ideals and beliefs' in your head. β
"Before you question my decision and that of the above, think about it, where did the two fleets of the Empire come from? After the Battle of the Brood, the Empire was faced with a former Union territory that had been reduced to ruins, with little fleet left, an economy collapsed, and rebellions everywhere. Do you look at the present? β
When one talks about empires, one cannot ignore two points. One is the reign of terror, and the other is the economic miracle that eclipses all economists. Both the Kekha reconstruction project and the Imperial Navy's "five-year plan" were extremely successful. At that time, Keha was blown up by the apocalyptic nuclear bomb of the former Federation into a planet that was almost dead and filled with a huge amount of radiation, and in just five years, Keha became the most prosperous capital world in the core world of the empire; The Imperial Navy's five-year plan was even bolder and more successful, going from almost nothing to two superfleets of a hundred battlecruisers five years later. During this time, the Empire continued to fight against the Insects and the Astral Spirits......
"Maybe, but an economic miracle doesn't mean ......"
"I'm not interested in hearing you talk, Mr. Yang Yi." Nova interrupted him and replied in a flat tone, "I am neither a politician nor a civilian who knows nothing, I said that my purpose is only to maintain the country." Now that this model is working, don't ask any more useless suggestions and questions. Or, let me put it another way, if you are the first person responsible, do you dare to change it? As she spoke, Nova asked, turning her head and looking him in the eye.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer, just imagine, suppose that now it's not my boss, but you, you are the head of the empire. Now you are facing this empire, which is troubled from the outside and from the inside. Not to mention the outside, the Worms, the Star Spirits, and the restless Kailian want to get out of your grasp, and Yumayan continues to preach your tyrannical rule. Before you came to power, your predecessors were forced to fight a war of attrition that had been going on for seven or eight years to ensure that Kailian did not break away from the rule, and Yomoyan's ideas continued to infiltrate the minds of your people through the outside world and the dark web. The economy is also in a quagmire, and now everyone expects you to lead them out of it. β
"Now, you want to use reform to fulfill your own desires and solve these problems. But the consequence could be that there was a lot of popular cries everywhere, and many colonies began to referendum on secession from the Empire; And in Keha, a large crowd has gathered in the palace square to demand an end to your autocratic rule and the start of elections, and your closest comrades-in-arms ......" she pointed to Black Rose who was listening with her ears pricked up next to her, "She is your opponent, what do you think you should do?" β
"I-"
"Oh, it seems that the conservatives in the empire are very dissatisfied with what you did, they kidnapped you and wanted to restore the old ruling system, but your friend Miss Black Rose rushed to the palace with someone in a tank and rescued you, which is so touching."
"That'sβ"
"Unfortunately, when she rescued you, she told you that she had already negotiated with your other captains that they would dismantle the empire into separate political entities, with them as rulers, and that you would no longer be the FΓΌhrer. The next day, you're forced at gunpoint in front of UNN's cameras to announce the dissolution of the Empire. Just a few years after the disintegration, all the independent political entities began to decline economically and even began to collapse and go bankrupt, there was a shortage of necessities, inflation, oh, and several battles were fought. Because of the split, the strength of the fleet was also weakened, and several small countries were even destroyed by the swarm. β
"People are nostalgic for the great empires of the past, but everyone thinks you are the one who brought the empire to its disintegration. As much as they miss the once mighty empire, no one will appreciate your contribution to reforming a frozen, rigid empire and imperial polity. β
"Now, back to reality, do you want to discuss your ideals and beliefs with me? Mr. Yang Yi? β
After a moment of silence, Yang Yi pointed at Nova suspiciously and asked, "You...... Is it referring to ......? β
"No, I'm just giving you an example of the possible consequences." Nova shook her head, "I'm also answering your question." I'm not a politician, I'm not a civil politician, and it doesn't matter to me who is right or wrong. My purpose is to maintain the empire, and if the current system is doing well, then I will support it; Your so-called reforms, the voices of the people, although important to them, are not important to the Empire, and may even destroy the Empire, then of course I will ignore or even oppose it. β
"Now, let's put an end to this pointless discussion, our transport plane has arrived, and it's time to head to the palace."
