"Hanton, I know you're on fire in your heart, but now you have to focus on the big picture."

Director Ino is the color of the road:

"The head of the military department is here, and when the meeting is over, you can negotiate alone, and I will not interfere."

The facial muscles of the three supreme commanders of the military headquarters were twitching slightly.

They were thinking about why they wanted to come to this meeting in the flesh.

Yang Wei snorted and said indifferently:

"Everybody asked me to come to the Emperor Star, I came.

"But if you want me to stand up and stand up for the aristocracy, I can't do it.

"I came to the Emperor Star out of respect for Your Majesty's orders, and out of respect for Director Ino, I didn't want to get any benefits from you, and I didn't want to get any empty promises from you.

"The only option for the Empire to solve its current problems is to send troops to suppress the nobles who are at odds with the people, and to arrest those nobles who have committed crimes and are usually turned a blind eye to by the people in front of the people.

"Haven't you seen what the problem is now?

"Isn't it true that the national policy you have formulated is also to reduce the rights and interests of the aristocracy as a basic policy? Why is it executed, but the opposite? ”

"Grand Duke Hanton!"

The third-ranked elder in the House of Elders frowned and said:

"You are also a nobleman, please don't forget that."

"You can take it back at any time, if you have the power."

Yang Wei spread his hands:

"My position is like this, you can think that I am seeking political capital for myself, or I can be ill-intentioned, but since I am sitting here, I must represent the people and the broadest interest groups in the empire, and have a good chat with you about how to end this bloody conflict."

Director Ino said, "Okay, Hanton, pay attention to etiquette and pay attention to manners. ”

Director Eno changed his words:

"And Hanton, sometimes you have to face up to your own problems, another reason for this strategic miscalculation is that you have not communicated enough with the military department, and you yourself are too strong, Hanton, you have gained great fame at the same time, but you have also been erected by the people."

"Yes, Director Eno."

Yang Wei smiled:

"There is only one thing that gives me satisfaction right now, and that is the praise that the common people have given me."

"If that's the case," Director Ino asked, "can you start an event where you represent the commoners of the Empire and negotiate with representatives of the nobility of the Empire?" ”

Yang Wei frowned slightly.

Good guy, this old boy is really yin.

This is to make him a foreman first, and then a thief later, and if any problems arise in the future, people will put part of the blame on him, the ghost archduke.

The negotiation foreman can easily do such a thing.

"As the elder just said," Yang Wei said, "although I consider the problem from the perspective of the common people, I myself have been separated from the life of the common people, and I have no representativeness, I think, is it possible to set up an elected organization within the empire to negotiate with the aristocracy?" ”

One of the elders immediately said: "The Imperial Code clearly stipulates that no elected organization shall be established, including workers' federations and management councils of public welfare organizations. ”

Yang Wei nodded: "Then I can't help it." ”

Director Eno looked at Yang Hao deeply a few times, and then officially began today's discussion.

Obviously, before Yang Wei came, the empire had prepared a set of countermeasures.

To put it simply, it is repression by force.

Now that the empire has completed its deployment, it only needs an order from the military headquarters, and a large number of second-line troops and local defense forces will come down to control the situation, capture some of the most happy people and petty nobles, and then select some representative people, and directly punish them to set an example.

Yang Wei just wanted to laugh when he was listening.

Use the army?

That's a perfect fit.

It can 100% intensify the contradictions, and it can also make the people feel wronged, and later as long as the empire is hyped, the captured nobles are released, and the commoners with no background are severely punished, and it is another large-scale public opinion event.

However, these old men also noticed the problem.

Although they don't know much about the living conditions of the people, they don't have any obvious brainstem deficiency syndrome in the general direction of national policies.

"The problem now is that if we do that, we can suppress the riots in the short term, but in the long run, we will divide the empire in terms of public opinion and public action.

"It's going to make people feel less secure, but it's also easy to inspire empathy.

"We have to find a way to eliminate these negative effects...... Perhaps, we can use a slightly more moderated approach. ”

"What do you think of transparent arrests, public trials in the courts of nobility and commoners?"

"I'm afraid now, if there is trouble among the people, we must severely punish the nobles and tolerate the commoners," an old man said coldly, "These people are greedy and despicable in their bones, and they will find superiority by overpowering the nobles." ”

Yang Wei immediately ridiculed him: "If the commoners are greedy and despicable, then the nobles are evil, selfish, and shameless, of course, I mean some nobles, some nobles are still good, they have not yet degenerated, and they have maintained their temperament." ”

"Grand Duke Hanton, you have been targeting us from the beginning, have you?"

"If you don't mess with me first, I'll target you?"

Bang!

The projection of one of the four elders of the military department was shot: "White ghost! This is a meeting at the highest levels of the Empire! ”

"Shut up, old thing," Yang Wei said indifferently, "Give you a face and say that you are an old man of the empire, and if you don't give you face, you are just an old moth who occupies the pit and doesn't shit, and your body is old and unwilling to die, what position do you have?" What official title? Dare to shout loudly in front of me, the Grand Duke of the Empire and the lieutenant general of the military department? ”

"You!"

"Me? What's wrong with me? I gave you a chance before, and you didn't dare to use it, the dreadnought is floating outside my Saka star, don't you still leave? ”

Yang Wei said leisurely:

"If you have the ability, you bomb me with a dreadnought, if you don't have the ability, shut up and sit down, I can tell you in advance, any attack that endangers the safety of my epidermal cells will be regarded as a declaration of war against me, and I will unconditionally carry out the same counterattack."

"It's like this anyway, then it's a broken jar."

"White Ghost! You're so arrogant! You're just so arrogant! You are not educated! ”

"Yo, you can't even say curses now? Is this the brain soaking in the nutrient solution for too long, soaking itself into live sauerkraut? I won't scold people, I'll teach you, you old rabbit cub, old bastard with a vegetarian meal, three and a half seconds of erection time when you're young, and you're still an old soft egg when you're old.

"What's wrong with the Empire, don't you have a little bit of a count in mind?

"You old fellows, go against the laws of nature to occupy the power of the empire, let the power structure of the empire grow aging day by day, and let most of the metabolic functions of the imperial system be directly abolished, and you will maintain what is in your interests, and you will sweep away what is not in your interests.

"Do you still have a sense of Sherman's pride? Is there still a little bit of the Sherman Empire's ideals and beliefs to stand on top of the galaxy? No, you don't have anything. ”

Yang Wei's mouth was like a close-range defense cannon, and he didn't give others a chance to interject at all.

"Also, if you really want to use the imperial system to exploit the people and exploit the slaves in order to fulfill the life ideal of your ancestor, the great founding emperor Levi Sherman, that is, the ascension of the individual, and continue to work hard to complete the ascension ideal of the human race in the galaxy, then I will not say anything about you.

"At most, everyone has different positions, and I really think of you as an idealist.

"But really?

"You are just defending your own interests, the interests of your own faction, the interests of your children and grandchildren, and then let your children and grandchildren continue to come to your position and continue to control the empire.

"You don't even know how many big steps it takes to ascend.

"This is the solidification of power, this is the most top-level and most corrupt solidification of power! The empire has come to this point, and you are the sinners at the root! ”

Director Ino squinted and laughed for a moment, but he quickly put on a frowning and thoughtful expression.

The others had gloomy faces and glared angrily at Yang Wei.

An old man's breathing was a little messy, and he pointed at Yang Wei and scolded: "What kind of intentions are you!" What the hell do you want to do! Hanton! You are a soldier of the Empire! Where has your command-following nature gone? ”

Yang Wei said indifferently: "My nature of obeying orders has been worn out by your operations that test my bottom line again and again, is there still a problem?" ”

"You!"

Another old man angrily rebuked: "White ghost! Do you really think we're afraid of you! Believe it or not, I'll send someone to sweep away your Saka star right now! ”

Yang Wei said indifferently: "The third satellite to which Guha Jupiter belongs, the eighteenth thinking space station, and the 1206 semi-permanent cabin...... It's where your body is, right? ”

The old man's face turned pale, and his projection trembled a little.

"You—You're ...... Who gave you the information! This is the most confidential intelligence! ”

"This is the most confidential information you think, in fact, as long as someone presses a button, your life-support device stops," Yang Wei smiled, "How many people want to climb to your position, and your children and grandchildren don't have any other ideas?" You've lived too long, old thing. ”

"Bastard! You! You! ”

The old man's breath was short.

Yang Wei pouted slightly: "I think you should come up with a charter as soon as possible, otherwise, the fire will really burn, and I can quarrel with me for a day." ”

The faces of the six elderly people present were as gloomy as water.

Yang Wei said again:

"There is another question, which I just raised, that is, professionals do professional things, and at this highest-level countermeasure conference, are there real political science and sociological scholars? Are there any experts who have really studied the local ecology of the empire? None of them.

"This is another dilemma of the Empire, and as I said earlier, you have usurped all the resources and made your descendants the successors of your control over them.

"Truly talented, capable, and passionate people can only become local administrators at best, and even in today's empire, there is not a single governor who is not of aristocratic origin.

"The people's upward path has long been blocked, and this is the root of the problem."

"Hanton," Director Eno frowned, "shut up, don't go on, you've said too much today!" Don't talk nonsense about things that are not conducive to unity, the question now is how to tide over the difficulties. ”

"No problem."

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders: "I respect you, director, you are a real scientist." ”

"Keep the meeting going."

Director Eno said:

"This matter should be done quickly rather than slowly, I suggest that the field be controlled by force first, and then an open and transparent trial, with the commoners and nobles each playing fifty boards...... Forget it, the punishment for the commoners is 20 percent, and the punishment for the nobles is 80 percent.

"On the aristocratic side, find some people who have criminal records and oppress civilians on weekdays, and severely punish and make an example of them.

"On the civilian side, a few thorns are caught in each place, and they are also severely punished, labeled as spies of the new federal CIA, and remember to make the evidence, transfer records and so on look like a little bit.

"In addition, what Hanton said just now is very unpleasant, and it is also offensive to the elders, and Hanton must apologize to you later.

"That's all, let's start the discussion."

A group of old men glanced at Yang Wei, and then began to cautiously express their opinions.

Boss Yang's eyes were a little empty.

He wondered if he was going to have a drink with the old emperor tonight, and if the old emperor had that kind of 'messy party' again, would he continue to clean himself or go with the flow.

Forget it.

Just had a physical relationship with Daphne, and it must have made Ritsu and Ritsu's friends complain there.

He didn't mean to indulge, he didn't get along with Devany, and it was difficult to win over the old emperor's ally.

Well, the next step is to deal with the Sherman family's troubles.

The scolding is cool, and these old men are probably going to be serious.

Yang Wei was looking forward to it.

……

"Oh, hahahaha! Hahaha! ”

The old emperor patted Yang Wei on the shoulder, and leaned back with a smile.

Yang Wei was worried that the old emperor would laugh and lose his breath.

"You're so right to scold them! Hahaha! These old things, one by one, think that they are the chosen ones, but in fact, they are just like me, they are all Shermans, and they are the descendants of Levy, so they have their current status.

"Aha!

"Hanton, you're right, the class is solidified, the power is locked up, the commoners have no way to rise, and the petty nobles have no path, and this is the biggest problem."

The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the picture that was repeatedly played in the projection in front of him.

It was a picture of Yang Wei scolding.

The old emperor was satisfied with the channel.

The 'shows' he watched were all carefully prepared by the tentacle organization, and they could be regarded as a kind of 'twist' in the interstellar era.

The old emperor smiled: "Hanton, do you really think so?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think the problem of the empire is that there is that round table," Yang Wei said, "that is the center of power hidden in the shadow of the imperial power, they can ignore the imperial power when necessary, or rather, they are part of the imperial power...... These people are also really insidious. ”

"All the same," said the old emperor, "and when I step down from this position, I will be one of them." ”

"Oh, I said the wrong thing, it seems like ......"

"No," the old emperor squinted and smiled, "they can't come to the stage, otherwise the people will know that this country is controlled by some three or four hundred old bones, which will cause a lot of panic." In fact, for every big polity, there is a similar small organization behind it. This is also a kind of inheritance of power, but the cycle of inheritance is too long. ”

Yang Wei nodded.

A new set of images appeared on the projection screen in front of the two of them.

Ships descended from outside the atmosphere, and the fighters on flying skateboards fell directly towards the area of riots and clashes on the ground.

The empire began a thunderous military campaign.

The riots everywhere will be suppressed in the next half hour.

The old emperor asked, "Hanton, you promised them that you would give a speech of encouragement to the whole army later?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yang Wei said, "I can't refuse this, they should hate me as an individual now, and they want to take advantage of my value." ”

"Hanton, tell me the truth," the old emperor stared at the screen and leaned towards Yang Wei, "What is your personal ideal?" ”

"Let my hometown be protected and treated as equals by the Empire."

"No, it's your mission," the old emperor laughed, "your personal ideal, your ambition, for example, to obtain the right to inherit the throne through Devany." ”

Yang Wei frowned tightly: "Your Majesty, I really didn't think about it. ”

"Then why don't you want to think about it?"

The old emperor squinted and smiled: "As long as you and Devany can have a child, this child will definitely be stronger than other princes and grandchildren, the empire does not have such a garbage rule as passing on men and not passing on women, Devany and you are both political stars of the empire...... Isn't that interesting? ”

Yang Wei: It's on, this old thing is starting to draw cakes!

Isn't it just that he wants to use him to get the Sherman family elite in power?

Just say no?

Yang Wei pursed his lips slightly, making a thoughtful expression: "Your Majesty, I just want to make the empire better. ”

The old emperor didn't continue the topic, but just turned off the projection screen and motioned for Yang Wei to press the suspended sofa he was sitting on.

"Come with me to Hanton, there are some good things on the side of the Empire Development Divine Cult."
