Act 375 The Empire Rain X(1/2)
Bai Jia's image is appearing in the crystal projection. After Su Changfeng left the space station, she has been an intermediary and contact person between the Xingmen Port Army and the Qihai Brigade.
After listening to Fang Yu's description, she could naturally see some confusion about the other party. When anyone reaches such a height, when his decision can influence the fate of many people, such questions will naturally inevitably arise.
But she was still a little worried about Fang Yu's current state, and then answered carefully after listening:
"The tendency to start a war for the empire is actually not as sudden as you think. Preparing for a war involves all aspects, even for the Oshy people."
"In fact, Xingmen Port has always been aware of this, but it cannot change the Empire's decision from our level, and this should not be a matter that Xingmen Port should intervene." She shook her head, "But the Empire is still as always. They often claim that the Empire has been in war. This is not a joke, but most of the Empire people feel a little accustomed to intervening in one war after another, and even take pride in it."
Bai Jia ended with an exclamation: "It can only be said that different cultures have created all this, but this war is not as terrible as you imagined. It may not really overturn everything. The essence of this war is still related to the Star of Fortune, and you have learned enough about the Star of Fortune, and other kingdoms naturally cannot be unprepared for it. Just like the great prophecy of the Empire seven hundred years ago, other countries actually have similar signs and prophecies to a greater extent."
She continued, "The same is true for the Kaolin royal family. Sangshare and the Miluo Palace are naturally similar, and there is also Xingmen Port. We can grasp the information about the disaster star, so other people will naturally not be unaware of the intentions of the imperial people. However, this upcoming war is actually much more complicated than you know. The empire's system has nurtured a large number of military nobles, but the military group is always insatiable, which is one of the reasons why the empire cannot stop."
"The young emperor intended to tame this force for his own use and to concentrate the power of the empire, which was one of the reasons why he agreed to advance the war. The president was only the person who promoted the war. The eternal temptation you mentioned was just one of the inducements, but people were short-sighted, and most of the military nobles were willing to join because it was in their own interests, and it was also what Friston wanted."
"Of course," Bai Jia paused, "Some clubs have also played a crucial role in it. Behind it is naturally the first division league. I know that some people want to win the fire. The league investors hope to seize more real power in this 'game' after Star Gate. Behind this is actually the shadow of the national main body."
Fang Rong was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know much about real politics, but he was just forced to get involved.
Bai Jia saw his expression and understood that he actually didn't understand the key points here. "That's naturally our old opponent. By manipulating the internal factional changes in other countries to gain influence and gain benefits from war and turmoil, this is their traditional skill."
"Sister Bai Jia, you mean..."
"Okay," Bai Jia interrupted him, "I don't want to talk about things on the earth. I believe you are not interested in that. Do you understand why I told you this? I mean, don't think too complicatedly about everything, as if it's your own responsibility. The development of things is inevitable. When people are in history, the decisions you make are often very simple."
“They can determine the path you will eventually go.”
Fang Rong remained silent. He naturally understood the real reason why Bai Jia told him these things. He should never regard himself as a perfect person, nor should he bear any unshirkable responsibilities in anything. He was just a stubborn person.
The reason why he seemed hesitant in front of that president was somewhat influenced by the other party's words.
Just as a man walked in the abyss, he always thought that if he took a step forward, the world would fall into a state of doom, and naturally hesitated more or less. Friston's words in the tower were lingering in his mind.
But is that really that way?
So is everything really related to his choice?
"Everyone's decisions affect the world," Bai Jia said, "You are no exception, but compared to the world, the first thing that affects us is ourselves. You have the right to make decisions, and other people naturally have them. Taking responsibility on yourself is actually a distrust of others."
She said: "But there is also our responsibility here. Perhaps the burden we gave you in the past was too heavy, but I hope you can understand that after the Declaration, the United Nations handed over most of the tasks of affairs and civil exchanges to the alliance, and we took it aside, but over time we lost our original sensitivity. This is understandable, because it was originally in line with our usual political stance, but when the incident occurred, our reaction was naturally slower."
Bai Jia shook her head, "But things are objective, and we have to admit that the fate of this world is closely related to the summoners, and the star gate is closely related to the fate of our world. Moreover, the two worlds are connected with each other. It is difficult to say that our fate is unrelated. We use the attitude of diplomatic affairs to view the communication and interaction between the two worlds and try our best to restrain it, but some people do not think so. When we have to intervene, we have to use the hands of the summoners like you."
"Of course we are still dereliction of duty. When we want to re-intervene, we find that there are actually not many people available. Among these people, you happen to be the one who goes the farthest. The military has a very high evaluation of you, so we can't help but put more expectations on you," she sighed. "In fact, before you go to the empire, most people knew that this was not a simple task. The Seven Seas Brigade was weak and in a single state. It was already amazing to be able to do this."

She recalled the last meeting with this little guy: "Do you remember the last meeting we met? When you caught that informant, the entire base was actually a sensation. You created a miracle, but it is also true that perhaps we gave you too many expectations invisibly and turned this expectation into pressure."
"Sister Bai Jia, I..."
Fang Rong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xingmen Port to care so much about him.
Bai Jia interrupted him, "Listen to me first, you don't have to do this. The reason why we didn't mention to you that the Empire was intervening in that war was actually because of this consideration. Little guy, the role of personal in the face of historical changes is small, and you just need to do what you think is right."
"What is as good as possible?" Fang Yu murmured to himself, and the sentence hit a part of his heart like a flash of lightning. It was like a heavy mist that illuminated the world he saw in his heart in that moment.
His brows frowned and loosened again, and he couldn't help but shake his head gently. Did he think about it all too complicated, so why did he have to force himself to find the most perfect way to solve everything?
Have you given yourself too high expectations in the dark? Is it strict self-discipline, a kind of self-confidence, or arrogance?
Actually, let’s go back to the simplest question.
Does he think the Empire is right? Does he agree with the actions of President Friston?
No.
Of course he doesn't agree.
He just suddenly realized the simple answer to the question - he could not take that path, agree with that way of doing things, and agree that there must be a war that swept the world so that the world above the sea of clouds can be prepared?
Of course that would not be the case.
Fang Yu raised his head, and a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.
Bai Jia noticed his change and couldn't help asking, "Have you figured it out?"
Fang Yu shook his head. He only realized that he was more or less influenced by the president's words at that time. But that was the shadow of the genius in history. The sharper the other party's poems were, the more normal it was.
Then the rest is very simple.
The great alchemist Ed, his student Hein Fanm, his student Helinwell, and the talented engineer Geldum who also walked on that technical route, and the arrogant soul in the tower.
Those who once walked on this path, the great alchemists who once took charge of every technical route, understood from the very beginning that they might not be the one who finally reached the end, but they chose to hand over the inheritance to future generations.
And I am the beneficiary of this inheritance.
And how do those great people feel confident that they are on the right path?
Helinwell left his best-minded side, and if the method chosen was wrong from the beginning, he would never reach the predetermined end point.
Because the progress of alchemy depends on the heart of the human being, the reason why mortal civilization is called civilization is because it is composed of countless small individuals, and it is not a grand existence based on the concept of fiction.
It is a kingdom agreed upon by a common contract. From Oshu to Kaurin-Ishurien, the ancient kingdom is just a nominal existence, and whether it is a noble or a civilian, all living beings are the real value of this world.
The foundation of civilization is first and foremost human beings.
That's why he disagrees with that president.
Fang Yu couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the world in his eyes became clear and firm, but then he realized the embarrassment he had made, looked at Sister Bai Jia who was looking at him with concern, and couldn't help but rub his hair embarrassedly.
He finally figured out how to answer that question, "...I roughly understood a little."
He touched the tip of his nose. This was the subconscious behavior that our Dragon Alchemist would feel embarrassed. However, when Fang Yu raised his head, he looked at the bright skylight shining through the arch window of the captain's room on his workbench, and he did have a trace of enlightenment in his heart.
And, I figured out the answer to one behind it.
He was just still a little uncomfortable and hesitated: "I've caused you trouble, Sister Bai Jia."
After all, this was just his own problem. He accepted the commission, but in the end he had to ask the client for help. In fact, it was just a simple thing, and he was trapped in it for a while and could not see through it.
Bai Jia raised her eyebrows.
When a person's identity changes, he often cannot see himself clearly. The little guy in front of him suddenly came to this position. Although he had become famous at a young age since the war in the southern border, he actually gained so much glory in the empire.
Or in other words, the real power to obtain that choice was actually given to him by the president in words. The shadow of that genius was no longer simply an alchemist, but an experienced politician.
She has actually seen many geniuses go astray because they cannot see themselves clearly for a while, and some are unable to get out of their own shadows in their lives because they are trapped in self-doubt. People often lose themselves in the face of huge power, but it is rare for those who can wake up as quickly as Fang Ling.
Or, it was the only one she had ever seen.
She was originally a little worried about Fang Yu's situation, especially after Fang Yu mentioned the situation of the empire and his concerns to Xingmen Port, she had always wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the other party about this matter as she was now.
But Su Changfeng told her not to worry too much.
"That child is different from everyone else." He smiled.
"I saw some qualities that only those who were Ming and Chenxi and others had. Do you know who Ming is? I saw those who were selected by that generation in my early years. Those who experienced that era did have some qualities that were different from others. Ming and others were also influenced by this—"

They always believe that everything will definitely reach the right result after the tortuous development," Su Changfeng swept away the snow on the brim of the hat, "Those people will not go the wrong way, you don't have to worry."
"I didn't expect that the guy could see more clearly-" Bai Jia thought to herself.
However, indeed, at Xingmen Port, the person who communicated with Fang Ling the most was the one who communicated with Fang Ling. There were even some rumors outside that his little daughter had a little unclear relationship with this little guy. Although it was not ambiguous, she was definitely a step further than an ordinary friend.
If you want to talk about who knows this little guy better, you really can't find a second person in Xingmen Port.
However, when Bai Jia thought of Sophie, she couldn't help but raise her slender eyebrows.
"So you really figured it out," she looked at Fang Yu, who was so energetic and eager to try, and asked with a little doubt: "You won't plan to do anything stupid next, are you?"
"Of course not," Fang Yu was a little puzzled about why the other party suddenly asked this. He shook his head: "What did you think of me, Sister Bai Jia. I just figured out some things, so I can do what I really want to do... In fact, there is only the final of the Hall of the Holy Kings."
In fact, he should have been sure of his inner thoughts, but he was not prepared.
But looking forward and looking back is not his personality.
No matter what the president said, there are more important things for him now.
That is to enter the Hall of the Holy Kings, enter the list of ten people, and get a place to enter the Second World.
And, go and accomplish some trivial things.
"Just think it through," Bai Jia is not Ming after all, and she doesn't have much contact with Fang Rong. If the latter is here, she will probably confirm it again and again. Some people always claim that they will not cause trouble, but when the real thing comes, unexpected situations will often occur.
The queen of the construction was already very familiar with her cheap students. If she had never let Fang Rong go so easily. But Bai Jia didn't think so much, and just changed her questions and asked: "When it comes to this, have you contacted Miya recently?"
Fang Zhu, who had just been swearing, immediately got stuck when he heard this question, "Sister Bai Jia... Why did you suddenly talk about this?"
"That's my sister, of course I care," Bai Jia said: "She has lost news recently for a long time. She said she had contacted you last time, so what is your relationship with your Miss Shipman and Miss Su?"
"I……"
Fang Yu's face turned red and said quietly: "I have nothing to do with Sophie. The rumors outside are not true. We are just friends."
"That's it's very related to your shipmaster lady," Bai Jia said, "so you didn't deny it's related to my sister, right?"
"ah?"
Fang Ling is stupid, can she understand this way?
Bai Jia didn't give him a chance to refute, and glanced at him lightly: "She has been missing in the Second World for a long time. Don't tell me that you haven't cared about this matter at all recently."
Fang Yu once again absent from his speech. He was indeed very worried about Miya for a time. Since the incident happened, the other party had not contacted him for a long time.
But he really had no way to contact the Second World. He originally wanted to ask about Miya from Bai Jia, but he didn't expect to be rebeled first.
