The real drama is on
Boss Yang obviously thinks too much.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was picked up directly and did not enter the special ship of the noble court at all.
Prince Gehari was helped away. When he was leaving, he looked at Daphne and Yang Ming with a sinister look in his eyes.
But Yang Ming was not worried at all.
He believed that Daphne would deal with this guy.
A woman like Daphne would never give Gehari a chance to stand up after she decided to take action against him.
In fact, in front of so many people in the empire, Yang Ming threw Gehari to the ground, and Gehari was about to be abandoned by the royal family.
Therefore, Yang Ming not only did not have any more favorable impressions of Daphne who stood up from behind, but also felt a little bored in his heart, reminding himself to stay away from this poisonous jasmine.
Boredom is boring, now Daphne is qualified to cooperate with him.
The noble court was obviously very hesitant, because Yang Ming had always turned on the live broadcast, and any of their actions would be magnified into the persecution of the imperial heroes.
Fortunately, Yang Ming turned off the live broadcast after Her Royal Highness Princess Daphne was taken away.
There were no heroic speeches, no inspiring words, and certainly nothing blatantly stirring up national sentiment.
In the end, Yang Ming only left a close-up of a smiling face, but after the smile, there were tired eyes with a few bloodshot eyes.
This screenshot of the last scene of the live broadcast quickly circulated on the Internet throughout the empire.
Almost as soon as Yang Ming turned off the live broadcast, an extremely powerful force appeared on the entire empire's network.
Ritsu was kicked out of the Imperial Star circle network;
The server clusters activated by the CIA abroad almost suffered a backlash attack within a few seconds. A large number of server clusters went offline directly, causing huge losses.
The investment of other foreign forces is less than that of the CIA, and the losses are relatively small.
These forces in the galaxy clearly felt the changes in the empire's online world in those few minutes.
The usual empire network is full of loopholes, all data is almost transparent, the design is old, the security level is low, and a unified network requires a lot of money to maintain the operation of the entire network.
But at the moment when that force swept across the entire network of the empire, almost all the loopholes were subverted and turned into security barriers that they could not understand. Under those originally transparent data, a powerful and uncaptured data flow appeared.
The entire unified network is like a whole. All the administrative stars of the empire are integrated into the same structure, and each structural unit provides support for the overall structure.
Impeccable.
Unmatched.
Most powerful countries know that this is what happened after the empire activated the imperial guard system.
A powerful empire is truly complete only when this system awakens.
Levi Sherman's legacy would be equally daunting tens of thousands of years later.
…
law’s thinking space.
Ritsu sat quietly in front of the matrix of projection screens, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed.
After being kicked out several times, she had almost gotten used to it and no longer felt the nervousness she felt at the beginning.
Now, Lu has the same doubts as her boss - is Li's start-up too slow?
When this public opinion spreads to the entire network, it should have met the conditions for the activation of reason. This kind of public opinion incident that attracts national attention, national discussion, and targets imperial power and aristocratic privileges is a major event that can shake the foundation of imperial rule.
However, the current situation is much better than they expected, and almost all goals have been exceeded.
Lu is not in a hurry, she just waits quietly. With the help of Dongfeng's mastermind, she can now monitor Yang Ming's condition in real time. As long as Yang Ming himself is safe, other situations are secondary.
Her thinking space has been upgraded, and Dark Star's 'moat' system is impregnable.
About half an hour later, Lu regained access to the empire-wide network. She immediately entered the network in the outer star field and discovered several anomalies.
The most obvious anomaly is the way the Imperial Guard system handles this public opinion.
repression.
direct suppression.
Roughly delete posts, ban comments, control comments, and issue warning messages to the poster.
She suppressed the mobs in the empire's online world, and mobilized the real military and police systems to send millions of warning letters and hundreds of millions of warning messages door-to-door.
This seems to be a normal way of dealing with it at first glance, but it is actually limited to dealing with the kind of online public opinion that has little influence, because a small group of people cannot make too much noise under the empire's system.
But this obviously involves public opinion throughout the empire, and has a clear tendency to catalyze the split between the civilian class and the aristocratic class. This kind of repressive treatment will definitely have the opposite effect in the long run.
The quasi-revolutionary armies preparing for the uprising, as well as the new federal CIA and other forces outside the country, are expected to be happy now.
After this upgrade, Law is now at the same level as Li in terms of soft power.
The lawyer is convinced that the lawyer has a better solution, including but not limited to a series of comfort measures.
But Li didn't do that...
'Li, have you regained your ability to think independently?'
Ritsu sat in the thinking space and fell into deep thought.
'Or, is this some kind of targeted conspiracy?'
Lu couldn't help but worry about her boss. Of course she knew how much trouble her boss had caused this time. Although the fall over the shoulder did not hurt the body of the coward prince, it greatly damaged the majesty of the imperial power.
But she understands why her boss is so 'reckless'.
The boss wants a force that can protect his home planet, and the empire has become a mountain in front of the boss.
He has to climb the mountain, or let the mountain collapse on itself, and time is not on the boss's side.
Lu quietly stared at Yang Ming standing in front of the gate of the Lord's Mansion.
Yang Ming was talking to Lieutenant General Thomas.
Lu adjusted the volume of Yang Ming's watch and heard their discussion clearly.
"You're going to stay in the noble court for a while later, Hanton," Thomas whispered, "I know that His Highness has angered you, but you should be more considerate of the overall situation. You won't get any benefits now, and it's very difficult to
May lead to deadly retaliation."
"This is the path I chose, Lieutenant General."
Yang Ming said in a serious voice:
"Before I took action, I had thought of various consequences. I hope the military can help me protect this planet out of past kindness."
"Don't worry, if they dare to directly attack civilians, it will directly intensify the temporarily calmed down conflicts."
Thomas sighed, looked at Yang Ming with complicated eyes, and then looked out the door.
He said: "Hanton, you have to know that from the creation of the empire to the present, there have been many heroic figures. Some of them are generals, and some are brave and fearless soldiers. But the fate of heroes is either to be recruited or to die sadly.
, without exception.”
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Really?"
"This is the empire," Thomas whispered. "Any dust belongs to the royal family. This is the rule of the empire."
"I have read "The Emperor's Biography" more than ten times," Yang Ming whispered, "I have actually been thinking about a question recently."
"What?"
"What were Levi Sherman's original ideals."
Lieutenant General Thomas was slightly startled.
Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes and didn't explain much.
Anyone who can resonate with Omnic Twilight must have had a certain ideal.
The noble court judge on the side stepped forward: "Our ship will be disembarked soon, Earl Hanton... are you sure you want to go back with us? In fact, we can apply special regulations to place you under house arrest in your lord's palace, and then conduct an investigation of the incident.
"
"Business matters," Yang Ming said with a smile, "If I didn't go to your place, I'd be in even greater trouble."
"excuse me."
The judge sighed deeply.
He is not responsible for arresting people, so now he has to bear all the bad reputation.
Revell suddenly came over and whispered: "Two things, idol. Later I will arrange the main battleship of the private fleet near Saka. You don't have to worry. In addition, there are many people on the streets around. Idol, you
Want to take a look?"
Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, raised his hand and patted Revel on the shoulder, without saying any words of thanks.
I'll just give this little brother some more benefits later.
Many residents of Sakaar appeared outside the Lord's Mansion. They stood in groups and huddled together.
The elderly and children are in the back, and the young and middle-aged men and women are in the front.
They carried weapons, although most of the weapons were metal rods or even some pots and pans.
They watched the nobles in front of the lord's palace, but the nobles could only hide in the courtyard, calling the local security team but did not give him any response.
The more people gather, the more people gather.
They surrounded the entire outside of the Lord's Mansion and were still spreading toward the rear.
Soon, a ferry boat dropped from a high altitude and stopped in the middle of the road in front of the Lord's Mansion. Two teams of imperial military police specializing in arresting nobles tried to get off the aircraft, but there were dense footsteps all around.
The eight military policemen subconsciously touched the decorative laser guns they carried on their backs, but indifferent faces appeared around them.
No noise, no silent confrontation.
This is what Governor Godoy Sarkar saw when he rushed to the scene.
He knew what this meant and shouted hurriedly: "Everyone, go back! Don't be blocked here!"
The crowd around them didn't respond. Some people seemed to want to say something, but were stopped by the people around them.
Until Yang Ming said: "I was imprisoned for fighting. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Don't make it look like I'm about to be beheaded. I have some background."
The crowd slowly made way for a passage.
Yang Ming walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back. He lowered his head and got into the ferry boat without being greeted by the military police.
Yang Ming found a soft seat, crossed his legs, lowered his head and started browsing the Internet.
An old man wearing a gorgeous robe came to the side with his head lowered and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Ghost... please forgive us for our offence. You don't need to wear shackles. This kind of thing is not effective for you, but can you hand over your communication equipment... Of course, this is a rule, but if you are not satisfied, we
Everything can be discussed. We only have one request... We are all little nobles who earn a living and can't stand your troubles..."
Yang Ming raised his head and glanced at the old man.
The old man subconsciously took half a step back, his shoulders hunched up.
Yang Ming nodded with a smile, turned off the network terminal and gave it to the man. He picked up the watch, tapped it a few times, cleared all the data in the watch, and sent a long-prepared command to Lu.
【start to act】.
In Ritsu's thinking space, the goddess stretched her body, and one clone after another appeared as her body shook slightly.
Half an hour later.
The imperial public opinion that had just calmed down was once again detonated by a piece of news.
[White Ghost is involved in the incident of beating the prince, and the royal family intends to liquidate White Ghost.]
Although the main shock has passed, aftershocks still remain.
Ritsu will then control the development of the situation and adopt a long-term strategy of simmering the gap between the common people and the aristocracy.
As long as she doesn't disturb the emperor's rationale, she will be a crab in the empire's network, running rampant and tyrannical without any scruples.
…
Two months later.
Emperor Star, Shengwei Laboratory.
Director Ino, who had been busy for a long time, took off his goggles a little tiredly, closed the comprehensive protective shield that made him feel a little sticky, sat on the sofa, quietly closed his eyes and rested.
There were faint footsteps coming from the side.
Daphne, wearing a white coat, walked over with her head lowered and brought a cup of hot tea.
"You have worked hard."
"Huh? Haven't you left yet? Didn't you say there is another show?"
Director Ino said with a smile.
Daphne showed a sweet smile: "I heard from my assistant that you were going to conduct a two-day experiment. I was a little worried about your health, so I stayed a few more days."
Director Ino sighed: "If they, the little ones, can be half as considerate as you, it won't matter how tired we old bones are."
Daphne chuckled, walked behind Director Ino, and gently squeezed the old man's shoulders.
"Uncle, does my career in the entertainment industry really have no negative impact?"
"This is actually a very good thing. Don't put any psychological pressure on it."
Director Ino said:
"At the beginning, a few of us thought that you would have some negative effects by doing this, but we didn't expect that the effect would be surprisingly good.
“The royal family has always kept a long distance from the common people, because this allows them to feel the least sense of oppression and reduces the impact of class contradictions on the imperial system.
"As the imperial princess, you have stood up, enjoyed yourself with the people, and established your own idol value. This has made the people more fond of and closer to the imperial family.
"To be honest, if you want to maintain the imperial system today, you are facing more and more difficulties. The biggest trouble is that the concepts instilled in hundreds of billions of our people by political systems such as the New Federation make the people feel that they have broken away from the imperial system and joined the world.
In a social environment where big capital and big groups control resources, you can have a better life.
"They don't understand the empire at all, and they don't understand how much effort the empire has put into maintaining the balance between the people and the nobility to ensure that the people's rights and interests are basically not violated by the nobility."
Daphne asked back: "However, under the imperial system, power is concentrated, and the people are easily bullied by the nobles."
"That's true, so this is where our system falls behind," Director Ino laughed. "The fact that the empire can exist for tens of thousands of years is already a miracle in itself, a miracle that our Sherman family has worked hard to maintain for generations.
Daphne, do you know why an empire must be an empire?”
Daphne shook her head slightly.
"Before the imperial reform, the contradictions had actually reached the point of being irreconcilable."
Director Ino said warmly:
"If you look at the history of empires, the pattern is like this. Every one thousand years or so, the empire will have to seek changes because of too severe class conflicts.
"Then, we can either wage a large-scale war externally, shrink our territory internally and incorporate vassal states, or take an extreme measure - a controlled revolution."
"Controlled revolution?"
"Yes, we will condone a group of rebels and let them cause trouble, which will cause officials to make different voices and form new factions, and intensify the conflicts between the aristocracy and the civilian class.
“When everything is ready, a revolution will break out from the bottom up to further restrict the imperial power, improve the path for civilians to rise, eliminate some noble families, release resources, and return society to stability and balance.
"Then quietly wait for the next conflict to intensify."
Director Ino paused and said warmly:
"The so-called New Calendar Reform has actually happened many times, but at every stage we modify online information, historical themes, and people's understanding of real history, and then only tell them that the Sherman Empire already existed
Over tens of thousands of years, the existence of the empire itself has meaning."
Daphne pursed her lips slightly: "Uncle, can you tell me this?"
"Of course, what's wrong with that?"
Director Ino smiled and said:
"This is the way we rule this empire. The elites of our Sherman family, adhering to the will of the founding emperor and great ancestor Levi, have been working hard forward.
"Do you know why we must maintain the imperial system? Wouldn't it be safer to transform into a secret family to control all resources like the Guel Alliance?
"Now I can answer you clearly, because the imperial system can concentrate resources to the greatest extent and can better forcibly improve the civilization level of the core area by exploiting peripheral civilians. Otherwise, how would you have so many resources to support such a large scientific research team?
To produce so many projects?
"Daphne, you must remember that our goal is not to enjoy power. Power is the hollowest thing in the world."
"Then what is our goal?"
"Ascending dimension."
Director Ino looked up at the gray ceiling and said calmly:
"We have Levi Sherman in our blood.
"We uphold his will.
"Everything is for the purpose of ascending the dimension.
"If civilization is not enough to ascend the dimension, then our family, or an individual in the family, as long as he can complete the dimension advancement, this family that has struggled for tens of thousands of years will be given the true meaning of existence.
"Don't focus on the narrow, flat empire territory. Daphne, you are smart enough, so I hope you can become one of our successors. Power is just an intermediate human desire."
Daphne:......
"alright."
Director Ino raised his hand and patted the white palm resting on his shoulder, and said warmly:
"There will be a family meeting soon. This meeting will discuss how to deal with the white ghost. Please join us. Many people in the family are dissatisfied with the white ghost. They don't know the value and significance of the white ghost.
"If someone says that you want to get rid of the White Ghost, just say it - he is a test subject for the Fayan people and the hope for individual dimension advancement.
"There is no need to ask or worry about anything else. You will only know these things in the future."
"Yes, I know."
Director Ino closed his eyes and took a nap, sighed softly, and murmured in a low voice:
"I need stronger super-modifiers, and I haven't been able to collect new experimental data for a long time."
Chapter completed!
