10.The.Rock (XVIII)
Eliminate the plutocracy;
Refresh personnel;
reform of the military system;
adjustment of the tax system;
The above four points are the essence of the "Restoration" proposed by Hammer, and a discerning person can see at a glance that this is actually aimed at the V.E Consortium Limited and Charlemagne's domestic aristocracy.
The so-called "elimination of the chaebol and refresh our understanding" is to directly target the vested interest groups that monopolize the vast majority of Charlemagne's wealth, with the intention of breaking the monopoly and control of the political and economic affairs by the insatiable chaebols and decadent aristocrats. Based on the prestige and achievements of front-line soldiers and local officials, outstanding talents are selected from among them to lead national politics.
As for the third and fourth, they come from a series of military victories. The success of Titans in Castile led to the realization of the need for an army to carry out a restructuring like Titans'. With the combination of a huge base and advanced weapons and tactics, "dominating the world, eight Hong and one universe" will no longer be an unattainable dream, and the grand hegemony of the Great Charlemagne Empire is just around the corner.
But Hammer and the others are also very clear that the reform of both the political and military systems requires the full support of the economy, resources, manpower, and technology, and it is impossible to mobilize the entire country to carry out such radical changes under the current system.
So in addition to demanding a huge ransom from V.E., they also intended to solve this problem by guò very Spartan means - to transfer Charlemagne to the war system in general, and to transfer the pressure of the peasants to the relatively wealthy city dwellers. Through guò "cannons, not butter", the army was expanded with all its might, and then Castile was occupied. Make it Charlemagne's war resource and prepare for the challenge of the United Duchy of Albion and Rus. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be a national thief, and patriotic soldiers will carry out "heavenly punishment" against him......
It's downright insane.
Without any explanation, Minerva herself was able to deduce this conclusion.
Even at this moment, she didn't have any good feelings for V.E Company and Li Lin, but the army that slid in the direction of "going down", "rampage", and "walking alone" scared her even more.
Smart as she is, she has received a strict elite education since she was a child, and her sensitivity to politics is even more than that of some adults. It is entirely conceivable what kind of path Charlemagne will eventually lead Charlemagne to the "rule of the martial arts"—the abyss of war and destruction.
For this reason, she did everything she could to protest against Hammer and try to persuade them.
A soldier who makes up his mind is not obedient if he says it. Not to mention the so-called "Restorationists". After being involved in the political activities of "transforming the country". No matter how much you respect the royal family, once the taboo realm of "military supremacy" and "the royal family is a mascot" is opened, it is not easy to close it again. Persuasion failure is inevitable.
(You have to find a way to get out.) )
The anxious girl begins to plot an escape, where she can't do anything. I can only watch things gradually deteriorate. Instead of being trapped in a cage as a canary. It's better to take a risk and break the status quo.
The resolve has been made. But a number of questions soon emerged.
Prison cells, guards, props, environments, maps, vehicles, forbidden collars around the neck...... All the problems that lay ahead of freedom arose at once, but Minerva did her best to plan her escape.
The plan is very simple.
First of all, the chaos outside and the successive loud noises have been going on for some time. There is a good chance that Hammer will go there to deal with it himself, and the guards here will be weakened. So, when Minerva shouted loudly, pretending to be a sudden illness, the non-professional guards probably couldn't wait to ask Hammer and rushed in to administer first aid.
Due to the size of the cell door, no matter how anxious, only one person can enter at a time.
Seizing the opportunity to get a closer look, Minerva rose up and knocked down the guards - in addition to magic, the princess, who also had good skills in swordsmanship and martial arts, knew very well how to block the opponent's mobility. I don't know how it works, but if you hit your legs hard in a short period of time, even the strongest man will not be able to move......
In less than a second, after launching a combo to hit the crotch of two men. Minerva was able to reach for the key and remove the collar around her neck. Activate the phantom magic to touch the dock, and then take a boat to escape.
Anyone who hears this plan will inevitably point to the heart of the problem – not the details of being too simple, but simply unrealistic.
Will the guards trespass into the room, will they be able to knock down two people in a row in one breath, and where will they go after escaping the room...... The above questions are full of uncertainties and cannot be guaranteed.
But you can't do it if you don't.
It's because you're nervous and it's hard to think from an objective and calm perspective, or—
"That fool ......"
Suddenly remembered the call of the teenager that he heard dimly when Hammer was taken away from the Zeppelin.
The honest voice, which was dreamy and incomparably real, was the only one of Minerva's peers, and the girl's murmur was unconcealed with unease at the thought of the desperate boy.
“...... What kind of handsome......"
It has little to do with personality and thinking patterns, but I just want to suppress the nameless anxiety with the help of actions, and when I even give up on myself, there is a teenager who disregards the constraints of his position and his own safety, stands up to save himself, and finally disappears between the blue sky and the sea - thinking of this, the guilt that cannot be erased is constantly stirred up in my heart.
for the country;
In order to see the boy who is a little naïve, a little gentle, and a little dull again;
Even Minerva herself couldn't tell the difference between the two, but just prepared silently.
Breathe as deeply as you can and let your lungs fill up with air for a hoarse cry. At the same time, the leg muscles tensed, waiting for a thunderous blow to the man's crotch.
“......?!”
Before he could make a sound, the iron door opened.
Minerva was taken aback by the sudden change, and the moment her head reacted, her body had already reacted, and her right foot drew a beautiful arc, straight to the figure that appeared in the prison door.
The crunch of eggs being crushed, and the terrible screams of men resounded through the prison building—
A minute later.
"It's dangerous. ”
Leaning against the wall, Roland covered his forehead and sighed.
"That'...... Well, I was going to run away. ”
With the gate as the dividing line, the princess, who was also leaning against the wall, rarely shrunk her neck.
The door of the cell was opened by the guards who were coerced by Roland, and the unlucky man was kicked by Minerva directly before he waited for Roland's knife, and he foamed at the mouth unconscious. After Roland's emergency treatment, he is still unconscious, and it is unknown what kind of sequelae he will have after waking up......
"If I had opened the door myself, my life would have been over. ”
Recalling the crisp "click" sound, Roland couldn't help but feel a chill.
"So, I'm really sorry!"
Like a little girl being preached, Minerva shrunk back and down.
She can't be blamed entirely for this, after all, she's trying to escape in her own way. The way might be a bit aggressive...... But there is no doubt about the intention.
"Anyway. ”
With a long sigh, Roland's back left the wall, a simple action that made him almost grin.
As the head of the Knights, he actually fired a series of fireballs at the moment when the shock bomb was launched, and although the hastily opened "barrier" isolated most of the blast, only a small part of the defense technique made the back of the right shoulder, which had just improved, open again.
If it weren't for this kind of little trick, the battle would be dignified...... It's really hard to say whether the winner will be or loser.
Silently admiring in his heart, he endured the pain, and the boy turned sideways to Minerva.
"It's good that you're okay. ”
“...... You're ......."
As if she was moved, and seemed to be shy of her moist and blurry eyes, the girl lowered her head in a snort.
Instantly attracted by this lovely and fragile beauty, the aisle wind sent the girl's fragrance into the nose at this time, and the heartbeat couldn't help but start to accelerate. Immediately saving the time that it was not a leisurely daze, he hurriedly prepared to leave this place of right and wrong with Minerva. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a pinprick chill pierced the skin and rushed down the spinal cord into the brain, and finally turned into a special sensation like lightning between the eyebrows.
Something was coming towards the island, an eerie feeling coming straight from the darkness, approaching at a high speed beyond the reach of swimming fish and birds, and a fierce and frenzied longing overlooking Alcatraz from above. (To be continued......)
