Chapter 1598: Freedom (Ⅰ)

"If you think there is no difference between these two claims, it means that the overseas colony and its home country are consistent in their interests. The colonial residents should be unconditionally loyal to the home country government, even if this colony is in war, and the home country government does not have , It is likely that no support will be provided in the future."
Joseph Adams sneered slightly, a sneer flashed in his eyes.
"If that's the case... Is there any need for our'Freedom of Sons' Association? Hailar, don't forget our original intention, what kind of'freedom' are the so-called'Freedom Sons' fighting for?"
Hailar seemed to be hit in the head, unable to speak for a while.
Joan is not a member of the "Children of Freedom Association", but he is not difficult to understand the meaning of Joseph Adams.
When he first came into contact with this organization in Port Leiden, Joan really felt that the "Children of Freedom Association" is a potential treasonous organization.
This organization was originally founded by a group of smuggling merchants and pirates to fund the collection of intelligence, establish a network of contacts and sell stolen goods, and better serve illegal businesses such as smuggling, tax evasion, and stolen goods.
"Freedom" in the mouth of Adams and his comrades, to put it bluntly, is freedom to break the law and make profits.
The "Children of Freedom Association" has been a criminal organization since its birth. How can it be expected to be loyal to its enemy, the mother government across the ocean?
Hailar was still too young. Although he held an important position in the "Son of Freedom", he had never recognized the essence of the organization, did not correct his position, and did not realize that all of the "Son of Freedom"-including herself- They are all natural traitors and naively think that loyalty to the organization and the motherland can be achieved in both ways, so she does not understand why Joseph Adams went to the capital of the aggressor to develop a career at the juncture of the midgard colony.
As long as the nature of the "Society of Freedom" is clearly understood, Mr. Adams' motivation is clear.
In fact, this is not complicated, it is nothing more than "bet".
The interests of the "sons of freedom" are not consistent with the interests of the home country, and in many cases, they are even diametrically opposed. Since "freedom" is premised on its own interests, then as long as it is profitable, why should the land under the feet belong to the Ashan Empire or Fijian Kingdom?
If the imperial government can keep Midgard's overseas colony, the "son of freedom" will still be an empire's subjects; on the contrary, if Midgard will eventually fall into the hands of Fijians, the "son of freedom" should change their nationality as soon as possible The identity of Feizhen Xingui is more conducive to their business.
Mr. Adams just reflected that in the past, too much energy and resources were invested in the two imperial colonies of Midgard and Yalfheim, so that the interests and the colonial government were too tightly tied, and they fell into a loss. The situation violates the original intention of the "Freedom Children Association".
So he had to fix this error and went to the power of the expansion association in Jodenheim personally, "can't put all the eggs in the same basket."
Joan did not want to comment on Mr. Adams's approach, but the "freedom" advocated by the "sons of freedom" is worth playing with.
The foundation of this freedom is selfishness, and it is "people don't exterminate themselves". The organizations established on this basis are more or less anarchist, but not completely anarchist, but replaced with wealth. Lineage, as a measure of a person’s social status, attempts to break the old tradition of money serving power, turn the world upside down, and hold a "coronation" for capital, so that the golden power can override the political power, transcend race and national boundaries, and become a universal. The only king below.
Qiao An has a premonition that if one day the "freedom" advocated by the "son of freedom" becomes a universal value, human society will certainly become more civilized and progressive, and at the same time will inevitably become increasingly selfish and cold, even It is possible to slide into the abyss of self-destruction.
"I sent a letter with your father yesterday afternoon. He was worried about the prospects of Midgard City, especially your safety." Joseph Adams told Hailar.
Hailar froze for a moment, and groaned with his hair: "Dad still treats me like a child, worrying about these boring things..."
"Whether it is for safety or future considerations, Mr. Herr hopes that you can finish your studies in Midgard as soon as possible and join me in starting a new Avalon business."
Adams stopped to observe the change in his niece's look, and added a smile.
"Of course, this is just the advice our two elders gave you. How to choose, Mr. and Herr will respect your own decision."
With Hailar's ability, he has already reached the graduation standard. He continues to live on the university campus. At first, it is a habit, and he does not want to end campus life and move towards a more complex adult society. Second, there are still her on the university campus. care.
Of course she knew that Adams and his adoptive father were wholeheartedly thinking about her future, but at the crossroads of life, she felt at a loss.
After hesitating for a long time, Hailar couldn't help turning his head to look at Joan and Sister Zion, and asked in a low voice, "What are your plans?"
"Temporarily maintain the status quo." Audrey was actually thinking about this question, and replied with a smile: "Unless Feizhen's army enters Midgard City and forces the school to close for classes, otherwise I will stay here and continue to be good student."
"I think so too." Holden said seriously, "Students should look like students, of course, they should focus on their studies. As for national affairs, let the adults worry about it, Joan, you say What about?"
"me too."
That being said, in fact, Joan was somewhat confused. If the situation really deteriorates to what Audrey had imagined, Midgard University was forced to close its doors and suspend classes, what should it do?
In fact, there are only two roads in front of him: either join the army and take up arms to resist the Fijian invaders; or flee to the south and return to his alma mater, Leiden College, or his hometown of Delin to temporarily avoid the war.
After understanding the thoughts of his friends, Hailar clearly breathed a sigh of relief and said back to Adams: "Uncle Joseph, I want to stay at Midgard University for the time being. As for the future, it is not too late to think about it after the end of the school year."
"Well, I wish you all a safe and steady completion of your studies."
Joseph Adams sent a very realistic blessing to the young people, and then looked to Lord Castis: "Lord, I am afraid that the city will not be peaceful in the next period of time. Would you like to change places to convalescence or join me? Settle in New Avalon?"
