Chapter 1777: Fifteen. Aphrodite (21)

"The existence of a hero is necessary. No matter who it is, when it is incapable of changing its destiny and unable to break through despair, it will be eager for someone to save itself. That "who" can be a brave man who is famous, can be ordinary Police, firefighters, silent passers-by. As long as they can give others hope in a desperate situation, they can tell others'I will help you'-just do such a simple thing is enough, that person can be recognized by the public "Hero"."
Like emotions and teasing, Gerles continued to say:
"To the Republic, to the "Legion of Liberty", to many people, you are the hero they crave. A flag that stands high in the darkness and despair, can still stand up when everyone bows to the emperor and the empire And the one who leads everyone to find a "different path". People put their hopes and expectations on you, and you carry the collection of countless people's wishes into a container called "hero", listening and responding tirelessly Other people’s wishes. Not to mention the results, are people all satisfied with this? This is indeed a remarkable act. It’s just... where are your wishes and expectations?"
Heroes, legends, wizards, ghosts-no matter what they are called, those who bear many wills and wishes are actually flesh and blood. They will also be tired, tired, and discouraged, and will cry and cry in the desperate situation where life is better than death. They are actually living people. But from the moment they assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the "hero", they were asked not to be weak, not to cry, not to cry... Heroes can’t let people down, they don’t let people down, so-called heroes are so demanded .
So, who should the hero bet on his prayers and who should he ask for?
"Li Lin is, or was once your "hero"."
It cannot be denied, nor is it willing to deny.
In Roland's heart, he had longed for Li Lin, betting his hopes and expectations on Li Lin.
Turn impossible into possible, and build a huge urban agglomeration that leads any country, one place on a completely deserted land. Business is prosperous and people are prosperous. Despite all the shortcomings and problems, at the time, Alfheim did let him feel the general atmosphere of "ideal township", making him believe from the bottom of his heart that the wind of change that will blow out from here one day will sweep The entire world, the world will follow Yalfheim as an example to realize a beautiful world free from war, conflict and poverty.
At that time, Roland sincerely believed that Li Lin could do this and accomplish the feat of no one before.
Li Lin did achieve this on a certain level, but the way he realized and used the method made it difficult for Roland to accept.
Most people have different understandings of "Datong World" and "Ideal Township", but all people, regardless of race, origin, and age, will definitely agree that it should be a "place where all people are equal." In other words, "equality of all living beings" is a generally accepted premise. Only by realizing this can we continue to discuss other items.
Li Lin didn't think so.
He changed the general principle of "equality of all beings" to "all people are equal, but some people are more equal."
Racism, differential treatment, ideological restraint, secret police, high control... When all these things were rationalized and transformed into the sentence above full of political metaphysics, the statue enshrined in Roland's heart collapsed.
"The knights wiped out the evil dragons, and the knights who monopolized the dragon's treasures became new dragons"-people once described the new dominant class and privileged class that came out of the masses from the revolution, so-called "more equal" Group of people. However, the idol in Roland's heart did not collapse because of Li Lin's depravity in reality. Li Lin has never changed, and the change of the title of governor, dictator, and emperor has never affected his mentality and behavior. Even if he became an emperor, he did not want to enjoy and corrupt.
What really disappointed Roland was that Li Lin never changed. From beginning to end, he looked at the world and changed the world with extremely realistic eyes and means. From his point of view, there was no emotion or expectation.
To change the world, it is certainly impossible to rely on ideals and slogans alone, and it is also impossible to have a good result by smashing and burning violence. You can't face the reality, you don't need patience and reason to explore a suitable way out, and you can't achieve anything in the end.
But Li Lin is too realistic, does not have any expectations of human nature, nor believes in human hearts and goodwill, and never believes that the world can be better because of equality, mutual trust, and mutual assistance between people. He is convinced that to achieve the goal of eternal peace and happiness for all, the best way is to allocate all people to their proper positions, and use technical and administrative means to ensure the rationality and efficiency of distribution and ensure the sustainable operation of the entire system.
So the elves became first-class citizens, who were in charge of rule, not only because they were Li Lin’s most loyal subjects and soldiers from beginning to end, but also because they had the fewest numbers, and ruling the majority with the minority was always the most effective means. Don’t worry about them and Other races and classes join forces to dig their own corners. The dwarves became second-class citizens, responsible for supplementing and strengthening the management system. The orcs became third-class citizens, responsible for protecting the system, and using violence to maintain the safety of the entire system when necessary. The largest number of human beings have become fourth-class citizens, and the reason why they have become fourth-class citizens is not because they have bullied other races, especially the elves, or because they have been against Alfheim. The largest number of people, the most suitable for becoming a working class, and the most likely to have a sense of resistance to the entire system is the reason for human beings to become a fourth-class class. In order to avoid human rebellion, the entire four-tier stratum is further subdivided into strata to differentiate management...
The whole plan is really reasonable~EbookFREE.me~ There is not even a little selfishness, there is no real special treatment from a head to toe for a certain race and class, everyone is just under the premise of "maintaining a new order" The following is reasonably assigned to the proper position. It also includes Li Lin himself-only he is suitable for the position of emperor and divine agent, only he is suitable for those jobs, and only he will not exercise those powers that are not subject to any constraints because of selfishness or selfish interests.
Everything is designed and arranged on the premise of reasonableness, without any defects or loopholes.
But no one likes this system. In the face of a sophisticated, complex and durable system like an industrial product made by an empire, anyone who lives outside the empire and has an independent personality and the ability to think and judge independently will not say "This is us Expected! This is what the ideal country should be!"
No one wants to abandon their individuality and independent self, and no one likes to become a machine part, even under the general meaning of "for all people in the world".
Cogito ergo sum.
I am me, unique me, only one me in the world. If you abandon these, there will be nothing and there will be no "I".
These willful words are the essence of human beings. If you abandon them, you will not be humans, just as parts of a living state machine.
Because of a profound understanding of this, I realized from my heart that I could not abandon myself, and could not be a doll that allowed Li Lin to control his fate, and he could not admit that he could not find the miserable self in his palm when he danced in the palm of Li Lin, so Roland made up his mind to fight Li Lin to the end.
"Yes, that's it—"
"Because of this, it is impossible to join forces with you."
Very heavy, the decisive voice stopped Gerles' footsteps.
