Chapter 230: Walking in the Front
After reading the training progress reports compiled from all parties, Nesta pocketed them and placed them in the cabinet.
Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied with the training of warriors, not only the excellent results of the pacesetters on the side of the giant fang, but also the unexpected joy of the imminent birth of two witch doctors.
As long as any of the first batch of pilots, except for the two females who accidentally turned to the witch doctor's path, succeeds, the follow-up implant rollout can begin.
But when it comes to the two females who have turned the road to the witch doctor, while rejoicing that the number of witch doctors will increase again, Nesta also has some other troubles.....
~~~~~
After getting through the early days of governing, Nesta came to feel that the community of witch doctors should not be too close to their powers, and should not be tied to any positions of direct management.
Under the premise that the group of the four advanced people holds the military power, and then makes good use of the supervision power of the People's Yuan and the procedural power of the law court, the ruling government can not lose control, and at the same time, it can stand in the foreground and grasp the specific power, and become the target of the people to vent their dissatisfaction.
Under such a system, although the rune council composed of witch doctors is essentially separated from the people, because the decision-making power is in hand, it is natural to gather the goodwill of the people due to good governance.
At the same time, because the specific power is not in the body, it can direct the malice of the people caused by bad policies to the ruling government by attributing it to laxity at the executive level.
And if there is a disagreement, for example, a long-term favorable policy has aroused public resentment in the short term, then the ministers or other ministers can take the blame and resign, and after calming down some of the grievances, they can change the bureaucrats to continue to do things.....
In this way, the Witch Doctors may be able to maintain the stability of decision-making for at least a few generations, if not beyond, through the Rune Council, without causing widespread rebellion.
And the reason for this consideration is not that Nesta herself, or the other witch doctors, is afraid to take responsibility and lose power;
He just thinks that such a model should be more conducive to the stability and balance of the regime.....
Nesta is also a witch doctor, and understands that if there is a good system of rules to guide it, then the strong brain power and relatively calm personality of this group can bring about a benign and positive effect in many ways.
Therefore, he neither intended nor felt the need to change his life.
However, there is a premise for this, and the witch doctors can be comfortable with the current power division model......
Whether it is individual combat power, scientific research ability, or the outstanding role that can be played on the production side, it all represents the omnipotence of witch doctors to a certain extent.
This kind of omnipotence, in addition to the series of positive expectations it brings, also determines that almost every witch doctor has the innate conditions to pull up a group of people to establish a 'national China'.
These two Rank Witch Doctors may not be qualified for now, but think about the future.....
In the hands of a high-level witch doctor who can provide almost all high-end technologies and is invincible in his own right, what kind of scene would it be if there was a mother tree representing the population, a magical beast that only served as cannon fodder, and a production line of the whole industry chain from low-end to high-end?
Perhaps, it is as flamboyant as cooking oil in a blazing fire, but it is full of disorderly external development?
Perhaps, it was the endless internal strife that began after the map was closed, or even before it was closed?
Hm.... has such worries, in fact, it is still the pot of the previous life;
In his previous life, he had read a lot of books with spellcasters as the mainstream force, among which spellcasters could be roughly divided into two types: wizards and mages.
The former may be synonymous with knowledge and development;
However, in the main world, it is often depicted as a scene of constant factional disputes, devastation caused by civil or foreign wars, and even a state of semi-cripple in the main world;
The latter is also synonymous with foolishness and unenterprising;
They themselves possess a high level of productivity far beyond the society as a whole, and as a result, they live a magical life, but the radius of their rule is full of medieval fools and aristocratic knights, forming a hierarchical picture of hell with no hope of turning over at the bottom.
Although the systems and principles of life displayed by these two spellcaster forces are strictly speaking, they are only the words of the previous life, but each of them makes Nesta wary and fearful in this life.
Among them, the mage stream is unlikely to become a reality in the troll society, and the elven society that may come in the future, due to the extraordinary attributes of the people themselves;
But the situation in the wizard stream, if it is not avoided by a single seer, without the spontaneous avoidance of the entire community of witch doctors, is likely to become one of the manifestations of the future development of the republic.
Therefore, in order to avoid the tail of the future to be too big, in order not to let the country fall to the point where the high-level witch doctors will divide the power according to schools and ranks.
Nesta believes that it is necessary to establish political traditions and corresponding institutional norms that are deeply rooted in the minds of all individuals in the community from now on.
Therefore, from the later stage of the tribe and under his conscious guidance, there were no witch doctors in this life who carried out specific management affairs;
All spellcasters have entered the Rune Council, becoming planners and researchers of the overall path of the Republic.
Now, except for the rotation of the Northern Fortress Altar who is performing scientific research tasks, all the witch doctors in the rest of the places have been recalled, and everyone can rest assured that they will be 'human masters' in the main department.....
But then again, Zhuo Erling and Cui Wenli are not enthusiastic about research, and even if they become witch doctors, they shouldn't be able to change this.
So, how should they be arranged? Will they be included in the council against their will, or will they remain as they are and let them do whatever they want?
The former may discourage their enthusiasm, and forcibly arrange a certain job for those who don't like it, and the results may only outweigh the losses;
The latter may make exceptions to the existing model of power division, and then gradually become ineffective.
Faced with a dilemma, after some discussion among the rest of the advanced, Nesta made a relatively compromise arrangement......
~~~~~~
Sometime about a day later, two trolls, Drow and Cui Wenli, arrived in Nesta's office.
"Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council, who have you summoned us?"
The two best friends came together, and after bending down to salute, Zhuo Erling asked uncertainly.
"Come on, sit down first."
Nesta laughed, pointed to the chair next to her, and said;
But after they sat down, he didn't go straight to the topic, but first chatted for a while about Cui Wenli's previous travel experiences.
It's not that he is deliberately delaying time, or lowering the other party's vigilance or anything, but he really wants to know what the world looks like from Cui Wenli's perspective.
After the training of the intelligence suppression unit was completed, until she was recalled again a few years ago due to implant surgery, Cui Wenli left her footprints in various areas of the Black Forest, as well as at the eastern and western ends of the northern plateau.
During this period, she even had the intention of completely leaving the sphere of influence of the Republic and conducting a direct investigation in front of the Northland, but in the end she could not make the trip due to some scruples.
However, although it had been nearly four years since her return, Nesta had never found time to talk to the non-active colonel about it;
Therefore, Nesta plans to take advantage of today's opportunity to ask her what she has seen and felt along the way.
Cui Wenli bowed respectfully again, but only talked about her objective experience in general, and said some topics such as what is here and what is there.
But Nesta wasn't happy about that, he knew it was a troll with ideas, so what he wanted to hear wasn't anything new.
Therefore, at his insistence, Cui Wenli had to start saying something more subjective.....
And beside her, Zhuo Erling, who has been working in the government, although she is also in charge of the intelligence system, has not had many opportunities in these years to go out and see for herself;
Therefore, at this time, she was also listening with curiosity and yearning, and did not get bored because of it.
"It's generally pretty good, but the atmosphere in the small base is a little depressed, but it's been eliminated later...."
"In addition, there is an imbalance between the size of the industry and the size of the market, and most factories continue to produce far more materials than they actually need, which I don't think is appropriate...."
"Well, the council is also weighing this point, the specific research project has been planned, and it is about to be handed over to the ruling government for implementation, and then there may be a major regulation."
Nesta is also responding positively, in order to make the lady more emboldened,
"On the one hand, it is to adjust the market itself, and on the other hand, it is also to increase the people's time for practice and study."
"And.... Your Excellency, Speaker of the Council, the current situation of the horned hoofs seems to be somewhat difficult. ”
"Huh? What does it mean? ”
"In the past, the bank was too oppressed, which caused the social order to be chaotic for a while;"
"Then, because of economic reasons, they also have internal antagonisms with each other, and the alliances are hostile and even hostile to each other..."
Cui Wenli frowned slightly, and said to Nesta,
"Under the interaction of the two, the northern plateau is already on the verge of getting out of control, and there is a risk of war between the alliances at any time, and the newly assigned task of mining ore veins in the republic is likely to become the traction of war."
"Your Excellency, I thought...... This is not in the interests of the republic. ”
"Well, so have you thought about how we should respond?"
"Your Excellency..... I am an officer and should not be obsessed with such matters. ”
Cui Wenli showed considerable caution in Zhuo Erling's dazed expression, and was unwilling to express her opinion on this matter without authorization.
"You're not on active duty, so it's not against tradition and law."
Nesta looked into her eyes, as if trying to convey something that might not be appropriate to say,
"Cui Wenli... Our purpose is never to shut you up, trust me, you can say it. ”
Hearing this, she was silent for a moment before responding in a tone full of uncertainty, as if confirming something,
"I've thought about it a bit, but maybe it's not perfect....."
"It's okay, none of the measures can be perfected from the beginning, just talk about it."
"Okay.... First, getting the banks out of overly aggressive businesses, while the benefits they can bring may be substantial, can also direct hatred to the republic itself, don't you think? ”
Cui Wenli only said one 'first', and then looked up to confirm the attitude of the council leader.
"Well, what you said is right, in fact, even this 'benefit' itself is illusory, and since the bank has completed the experiment of early deployment, it is indeed time to stop some excessive behavior."
"We are not afraid of hatred, but we are more or less a problem."
After agreeing with her point of view, Nesta muttered and praised,
"It's worthy of being an elite who can complete the reorganization, in addition to military affairs, other aspects are also very sensitive, I want you to join the parliament to engage in overall planning, well, maybe there may be achievements in scientific research."
"This.... Excellency.. Your Excellency, you've won a prize..."
Nesta raised her eyes and looked at her again at this time, then smiled and nodded,
"No, you're good, go on, talk more about what you think."
"Ming.. Understand that we should take the initiative to intervene before the war begins, and help them reconcile the contradictions.... Or, help them hide their contradictions. ”
"Why? Let them fight, the number of horned hoofs has risen too fast, and it has already exceeded 100,000 in just a few years..."Zhuo Erling asked suspiciously.
"Well, I have also seen the opinion of the ruling government, just like Zhuo Erling said, most of the ministers think that they should let the war go to the outside in order to deplete their population, what do you think about it?"
"Your Excellency, as you just said, our people need more extra time to study and practice;"
"So I think that instead of letting the labor of the hornhoes be wasted in the civil war, it is better to transfer some of the industry and let them produce food and other necessary materials for the republic;"
"And, after all, they are of the same kind .... If we had not intervened before the war, the victor would have been able to complete the annexation as a matter of course; ”
"Even if the annexation plan is denied by the republic as suzerain, it is only a process that comes and goes... It will also cause us to lose the trust of both the victors and the vanquished. ”
"Therefore, no great war should be allowed until their language has been completely divided, and their culture has been created; But small-scale conflicts can be used to accumulate resentment and estrangement between them; ”
"And as soon as there are signs of a big war, we will immediately take the initiative to intervene and use 'goodwill' and other excuses to stop their outbreak."
"Thirdly, our domestic market is too small, and on the premise of ensuring absolute superiority in force, the more horned hoofs there are, the more conducive to our own development."
"Finally, for the same reason, I even think that we should make early contact with the northern tribes, using up the extra capacity in exchange for the resources and knowledge we need."
"Hmm.... That's what you thought, I see, and it's a way to deal with it. ”
At this end of the 'small talk', Nesta brought the conversation to the point, he sat up slightly straight, looked at the two opposite, and said,
"Your Excellencies...."
Zhuo Erling didn't react to his title, but Cui Wenli obviously didn't dare to accept it.....
I saw her in Zhuo'er's incomprehensible gaze, and immediately bowed and responded,
"If you don't dare to be the honorific title of Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council, please call us by name."
This reaction made Nesta pause, and then shook his head imperceptibly, but still asked directly with the question of title,
"I've read the report, and it's said that it's crooked, and the condensation of the meditation space is promising?"
"Uh-huh! That's it, haha envy a lot of colleagues! ”
"Yes... The previous bottleneck has loosened somewhat. ”
"You two are really, obviously you have a good talent yourself.... Forget it, have you ever thought about what will happen after becoming a witch doctor? What do you think about pursuing a career in scientific research? ”
"Ahh Your Excellency the President of Parliament.... You're not going to let me into the lab, are you? ”
Drow looked at Nesta incredulously, then scratched her head in embarrassment and replied,
"But I'm not that kind of material, I can't calm down and do any research."
'Sure enough...' Nesta was not surprised, and turned her gaze to Cui Wenli again, trying to reconfirm her thoughts.
Cui Wenli was lowering her head at this time, and her entire face was facing downward, so that the other two present could not see her expression clearly.
However, Nesta and Drow's ears were so sharp that they immediately caught the sound of her not-so-normal heartbeat.
So, Zhuo Erling shook his companion's hand and asked with some concern,
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Wenli put her palms together and pressed slightly, and after calming her companion, she raised her head and said with a forced smile,
"I... I am willing to enter the laboratory, the witch doctor deserves to contribute to the Republic in terms of scientific research! ”
"Haha! Captain, what research are you going to do? Hahaha! I'm laughing to death! Don't listen to her nonsense, Captain, she can't sit still, she has only longed for the outside world a long time ago. ”
"No, it was just that I was immature then, and now I don't think so!" Cui Wenli argued.
"What are you talking about? Didn't you say before that it was a pity to leave the army and that you wanted to go out for a walk? After entering the research room, you can only go to be a prison soldier, don't think about it! ”
"You... Don't talk nonsense! ”
Nesta sat down at the opposite table, quietly watching the farce unfolded in front of him, whether it was sisters, lovers, or just old comrades.
Cui Wenli has a steady personality, delicate thoughts, and strong work ability, but she is too mixed and easy to think too much, and her style of speaking and doing things is a little cautious according to the standards of trolls.
Zhuo Erling has a lively personality and is cool in doing things, although she is also very capable of working, but she is too straight and rigid for trolls, and she is not too afraid to take care of the feelings of other families;
Just like now, she couldn't understand the scruples in Cui Wenli's heart at all, and she would say whatever she wanted.
But like Drow Ling, this is actually the standard mentality of most trolls, and the difference is only in the level of irritability and cruelty.
On the contrary, it is Cui Wenli, which is very rare in today's society dominated by trolls;
As for the future..... It's hard to judge, at least not by looking at Freya alone.
Going back to Cui Wenli's side, the attitude she is showing now, in fact, Nesta understands the cause....
However, at this time, he only said that 'the witch doctor matter will be kept secret for the time being, and the rest of the matters will be arranged for the time being';
Then after appeasing the uneasy Cui Wenli and the fried Zhuo Erling, they were sent out of the office and did not say the plan they had prepared before.
It is unknown what state of mind the two female trolls will be after they leave, but Nesta herself is in a state of flux.....
It turns out that what I thought would be a simple 'heart-to-heart' is not a simple matter, and it does not seem to be a political medicine;
Some things can't be said clearly, and the exchange of many affairs can only take place within the four advanced people, and once it is outflowed, it is likely to have some uncontrollable consequences.
At this moment, just as all these mixed thoughts were leaping through his somewhat overactive brain, a crisp sound of 'stomping' came from outside;
It was the sound of the heel striking the ground from far and near;
Not long after, a visitor pushed the door open and approached with a sense of spiritual pleasure that only he could feel.
It doesn't take to look up to know who it is;
On the one hand, it is sensitive perception at work;
On the other hand, there is only one person who is allowed to enter the office directly in this way.....
A moment later, a cold arm wrapped around his neck, and a pair of lips with a faint but continuous sense of static electricity quietly imprinted the corners of his lips.
~~~~
"What do you think again?"
Aishara didn't sit directly in her partner's arms as she used to, even though it was the special time they had scheduled.
"Alas... The two soon-to-be witch doctors have been here. ”
"Looks like we didn't have a pleasant conversation?"
"Hmm.... Cui Wenli's thoughts are too mixed, and letting them hide their identity as witch doctors to maintain their current status is just an expedient measure after all.... I didn't mention it at all after seeing her attitude, but just let them go back first. ”
"You, you always want to use each individual as a part, but intelligent life is not a machine, how can everything be as we wish?"
"So.... Are you actually against it? ”
Azhara walked around to him from behind, straddled Nesta face to face, then squeezed forward, and after wrapping her arms around her husband's neck again, she replied with a smile,
"If you really want to do something, then I'm bound to be on this side, but at the same time, it's my responsibility to warn and admonish, isn't it?"
"Well, that's a pretty good reason, so how are you going to convince me?"
Hearing this, Aishara leaned back slightly, looked at her husband's demeanor when he spoke, and after confirming that there was no hint in his words, she resumed her hugging posture again and replied....
"First, although Your Excellency Fangs and Rough Fangs trust you very much and are willing to act with your opinions as the guide, this is based on 'eternal success';"
"Second, Cui Wenli and Zhuo Erling's attitude may be just an accident now, but it is likely to become the norm in the future, because not all witch doctors like scientific research, and not all witch doctors are willing to live the life they have now;"
"Thirdly, I must ask you a question...."
"Huh? You ask...."
"My dear.... Do you intend to rely solely on political prestige to maintain your decision-making position henceforth? Or are you completely tired of the guidance of the republic, and you don't care if you are the one at the front? ”
