Chapter 842: 6. The Night of the Long Swords (3)

Don't know how to beware;
It doesn’t matter if you feel it;
Realizing that she is being monitored, she decides to use it;
Maybe another calculation;
The answer may be one of them, or it may be that plural answers coexist, and there are not many conclusions that can be reached in the end. ≧,
"Is that guy a big man or a fool?"
The astronomical telescope followed Roland, his eyes pressed against his eyepieces, and the caterpillar murmured to himself whether he was in doubt or vomiting.
After speaking, she immediately dived into the house, which is one kilometer away from the High Court, and started the real task—monitoring Roland’s actions, reporting it, and reporting it.
Monitoring, monitoring, and recording are extremely boring tasks. If there is no professional training, and it is not a special crowd such as voyeurs and control freaks, few people can hold their breath and stay as undetected as possible, while staring at others to eat, drink, and sleep, and concentrate on waiting for unknown time. The critical moment will appear. This puts a great burden on both psychology and physiology.
In terms of biological structure alone, humans are not suitable for this kind of work. If it is replaced by a caterpillar, the above problems will be solved.
For caterpillars with slow movements and no wings, survival is a war. They must live in a dangerous environment surrounded by natural enemies, thereby developing the most colorful survival strategy among the births. Mimicry, protective colors, smells, toxins, constructing shelters-almost all survival methods can be found on caterpillars. One of them is still, and there are caterpillars that quietly observe the target.
Inchworm (). Gastropods and caudal feet are commonly used to grasp branches, making the body extend forward, disguised as branches to deceive natural enemies or prey. Surprisingly, with only half of the foot, the inchworm can maintain this shape for several hours, during which it stays motionless. Take human analogy. It's like holding a big tree with your legs or arms, keeping the awkward posture of tilting your body for days.
Nothing is more suitable for long-term lurking and monitoring. Even if the sound of guns outside the doors and windows sounds all day and stray bullets hit the side, the caterpillars do not take it seriously and continue to focus on the work at hand.
just. She can't stand it now.
Not to the task itself, but to Roland.
As an agent specializing in wet and dry work, she has long been accustomed to treating what is happening in front of her as "something else". Even if a girl is violated in front of her, there are old people, and many people feel uncomfortable with Roland's good family background, hard background, and women who interact with each other, the caterpillars don't think there is any problem. From the natural law of weak meat and strong food, strong and excellent males monopolize many females, and it is reasonable to spread excellent genetic genes. No need to be blamed. She also did a lot of "hey" and "haha" things with the bark praying mantis to the flower praying mantis. Why do you care about others opening the harem?
It is a sentence that arouses emotions.
"Save...people? Hero?"
I read the movement of my lips through an astronomical telescope, and I was a little surprised by what I said through my mouth. In less than a second, anger began to boil.
The caterpillar's cognition is the cheapest and the most disgusting word. Undoubtedly "hero" and "justice".
The number of guys who claim that they are justice and who claim that they are legal principles is as many as they want. But the more you understand society, the more you understand humanity, the more you understand the fact that there is no justice at all.
When nobles and clergymen taxed, sent men to the battlefield, and left women, old people, and children to work in the field, they told people that it was for justice. Is a necessary sacrifice. When the Dragoons rushed into the Protestant village and used force to persecute the Huguenots, force them to convert, steal property, and insult women. Their chief told them that this is justice. The persecuted Protestants were exiled to a wild colony, and spent the first year on the food aided by the indigenous people. In the second year, under the leadership of Cotton, Mather and the like, the "red necks" forced the indigenous people to destroy them. When they changed their beliefs, plundered the land, and killed old women, children, and children, they also proclaimed that they were exercising justice and that they were
saving the poor who were tempted by the devil
.
Innocent people? Can someone be redeemed? There is no such thing in this world.
Those who participated in the parade and celebrated the army's capture and massacre of cities in other countries were all "innocent" and "peace-loving" people. Working in three shifts in the factory to provide the army with guns and ammunition, it is the people who "oppose war" to support the soldiers in combat. It is the people who contribute their father, husband, brother, and son to the army.
The consul once said jokingly, "If one day, a large city of Charlemagne-a city full of military factories, a large number of military installations, tens of thousands of soldiers stationed, and citizens generally supporting the war of external expansion-was met Mass destruction weapons attack, with more than a hundred thousand casualties or more. From that moment on, no matter whether there is an injustice under the mushroom cloud, someone will always pack this city as a victim, a city of peace. Denies all the atrocities committed by the Charlemagne army, and at the same time uses it to attack the brutality of those who carried out such attacks."
This country, this city, now has fallen and there is going to fall, there is no soul of injustice.
In such a hopeless world, the little master who grew up in the greenhouse actually talked about justice? Who does he think he is? A hero who can turn the tide?
Do not make jokes--
People who can be called "heroes" and "saviors" have not been there since the beginning, and they will not appear now.
"Alright... let me appreciate it, your ridiculous fantasy and the tragic appearance of superficial justice being defeated."
Ningshen stared at the High Court closely, and the caterpillar said to herself plainly.
#############
"Please continue to sit here, I will try to break through the blockade and return to the Academy, then march to Versailles."
The teenager said calmly, swearing without swearing, nor shirking. The gentle and calm voice makes people fully feel the determination to do their utmost, almost makes people want to calm down.
But words alone cannot provide peace of mind. After repeated explosions and shootings in the windows, the Goreme maid, who was insurmountable like a mountain at the entrance of the High Court, was easily overwhelmed by the uneasiness and fear incited by the harsh reality.
"I know your determination, but determination and reality cannot be confused."
Richelieu's answer was short and his tone was heavy.
No matter how the superstructure changes when the dust of this coup finally settles. As a whole, the country will usher in unprecedented changes. How to make Charlemagne survive the storm and continue the national games is Richelieu's biggest and highest priority. And Roland is one of the keys to solve this problem, he does not want to lose this trump card early. Even if the country suffers some losses because of this, it is better than the entire country disappears completely from the surface.
The cardinal continued with a cold tone:
"I know how terrible things are happening outside, and you are really eager to end this. Now is not the best time to do this kind of thing."
"No, sir, you don't know."
Roland went to the window and pointed to the fire outside the window.
"Since just now, the sound of a single rifle has started to increase."
The coup was launched, and the elite troops of the defense force were responsible for the early combat, using automatic weapons and light combat vehicles. The sound of a submachine gun tearing through the metal and the general machine gun tearing apart the linen can be heard from afar. Since just now, there has been a lot less gunfire. The scattered single rifle sounds began to increase.
This is by no means the Charlemagne's army began to suppress the coup troops. As far as the training level and equipment of both sides are concerned, Charlieman's army has more than three times the number of people.
Therefore, there is only one reasonable explanation.
"The follow-up troops to be accepted-the real Titans are taking over Ruders. With the capital already completely suppressed, gunshots continue to be heard during the acceptance process, you should know what this means!"
There is no sound of automatic weapons fighting back, which means that the target of the war is not the defense army, and the capital garrison troops are basically suppressed. Then the target of shooting and the target of shooting can only be-
"Titans is violence against the general public!"
Since ancient times. After conquering the city, to encourage morale. Let the soldiers vent their grievances over a long period of time, and at the same time warn the people in the attacked city not to resist. Higher-level commanders either ordered directly, or left their "action free" to achieve their goals through slaughter and looting. Coincidentally, when inciting soldiers to participate in a coup or mutiny, the mastermind often also promises the soldiers to let them do wrong. One is to boost morale. Secondly, the soldiers were tied to their tanks through this kind of "complicit" behavior, preventing them from looking back.
It is not surprising that the Second Prince, who lacks personality charm and is easily influenced by others, envelops his subordinates in this way. With the assurance of the sir, the soldiers who had been eager to try the last point of reason and shame were also gone, and now these two-legged beasts are stimulated by blood and fire. Let go of your fellow countrymen.
"Even in this way, I cannot risk the loss of the whole kingdom to save a group of unsaved people."
Facing Roland's irritable anxiety and anger, Richelieu's voice remained firm.
"You should be aware that a moment of soft-hearted humanitarianism will only make the two sides more unfortunate. Now the atrocities of Titans are equivalent to providing a target for impeachment. Record the situation here as the deprivation of the crown prince and the second prince. Evidence, and then I will take the responsibility. In this way, His Highness Minerva and His Highness will gain reputation, and the elf camp has lost the significance of attacking. Now is not the time for women’s benevolence, in order to avoid greater tragedy , We can only choose to do so."
"This kind of calculation, Li Lin had long thought."
Under the relentless counterattack, the Cardinal with a determined expression was silent.
Powerful people always stand on the side of letting go of others, and justify their behavior with the arguments of "last resort" and "how better than what is better". It is only "this degree" to sacrifice a city and hundreds of thousands of people. When faced with a coup, when learning of the disaster, the priority is not to "do not want to increase the dangers encountered by the citizens", but to "do not want to impose additional responsibilities on yourself."
Predicting Richelieu’s reaction is not difficult because of a common and distinct mode of thinking. Li Lin should have anticipated all possible situations beforehand and prepared countermeasures. In this case, there is obviously only one explanation for leaving such a large loophole.
"The reason for letting the second prince and Titans act arbitrarily is precisely that Li Lin has given up on their symptoms. These people have been unable to bring more practical benefits to the elf camp at the strategic level. To abandon it before they become a burden is The best choice. To rationalize this behavior. At the same time, it can also help the next step of the strategy. It is the best choice to let Titans act as a villain who does nothing, and then let someone else eliminate them."
"absurd."
Richelieu shook his head.
Roland's statement surprised him, but it was not enough to shake him, and there was a big loophole in it.
"You said that it would be best for the elves to have someone else destroy Titans, but what good is it for them? I can't see what they can get from it."
"Where is Prince Wang?"
Just a word. Like lightning striking Richelieu, his pale face turned green, and his hands on the table shivered.
After the coup, the communication between the High Court and the outside world was maintained for a period of time, until it was completely cut off. None of the collected information mentioned how the Crown Prince was. It seems that he has evaporated from this world.
If someone informs him of this coup in advance, as before, the truth about the consortium and the existence of the elven camp...
"I'm afraid Li Lin's script is'Let the second prince initiate a coup and guide the crown prince to put out the coup. It is best to be able to lay down in this process. In this way, the royal family is untenable in terms of human relations and morality. The countries that have disliked Charlemagne feel that Charlemagne can’t trust and communicate. The Prince’s character also determines that he will not compromise with any party. He will definitely prove his legitimacy by exterminating the elf camp. This is what the camp needs."
Fragmented puzzles gathered together, and Chao Richeliu showed a terrible scenery. He wanted to refute, but he could not organize words.
From the elven camp's standpoint, Roland's inference is clearly in their interest.
The first goal of the elves is to build an independent country. On this basis, seek to maximize the strategic benefits as much as possible. To this end, they have worked tirelessly to promote the evolution of the international situation, hoping to achieve this goal through a war with well-defined conditions. All their actions are carried out on this basis.
After understanding this. You can understand that they need someone who is radical, does not know how to compromise, and has great merits to sit on the throne of Charlemagne. This man is by no means the second prince of the consortium, nor is it the Minerva and Li Lei who are trying to break Charlemagne's isolation. Seliu.
It can only be Crown Prince.
Each condition is tailor-made for him, and no one is more suitable than him to play the role of "person who declares war on the elf camp".
The actors, stage, props, and audience are all ready, now waiting for this heavyweight character who "will be a stag when hunting, and a bride at a wedding. A corpse at a funeral" will come to his long-awaited spotlight under. He doesn't need to read the lines in the script, he will perform himself.
All the elves have to do is to hold down the guys who might hinder the performance.
It's a subtle and crazy script. It must be a genius conspirator who wrote this script, and there is exactly such a guy in the elf camp.
"A coup must be stopped. At the very least, it can't continue according to the guy's script."
The same harsh tone as the status quo moved Richelieu. Indeed, when it is no longer possible to prevent the coup d'état from having extreme effects, the top priority should be stop loss. Preventing the victimization of the citizens of Lüdes is itself to save the reputation of the royal family, and in the future developments, some space can be obtained for some turning.
Now, there is one last question.
"I know what you mean. In the current situation, although your proposal may not be the best option, it is also the only option under desperation. But...it may be awkward to say so, I still want to confirm, you want to be Hero?"
"This……"
"Don't rush to answer, let me finish."
Richelieu stood up and paced to the window. The flames shone on his face, and the screams from some place hit the window glass. Standing on the edge of Abi Hell, the Cardinal made a heavy voice.
"'People are in deep water, and one person comes forward.-The opening story of the hero's story is mostly like this. However, in reality, the security knight will catch the bad guys, and the technical bureaucracy will guide the people to cultivate and build facilities, but few people say that they Is a hero, do you know why this is?"
After a pause, Richelieu said the answer.
"Because the people did not accept these things out of'visions or fears', it was just that's very convenient, so they accepted these things and then paid taxes to make them last. Conversely, the upper classes were not thinking about the people, just out of the same Reasons to do these things. The original relationship between the ruling party and the people should be like this. As long as the national government agencies operate according to the system until decay and failure, it is largely inhuman and unselfish. And heroes-as individuals Or a minority group, to bear the pressure that should be at the national government level, which is unreasonable in itself. When they fight against evil for the people, for love or hate, that force will no longer be fair."
There are as many kinds of justice as there are people. Fighting for a group of people and their justice means giving up leading another group of people and their justice.
Justice cannot be distinguished by a minority and a majority, the behavior itself is the same, and even "fairness" cannot be generalized.
"Li Lin once told you that he is the container that holds the will of the goddess and the elves. Setting aside my position, I think this is a very correct sentence. Although there is no human touch, there is nothing to blame. For the elves, they are exiled. Go to the dark corners and breathe in the despair day after day. In that way they need heroes, eager to listen to them and stand up for them... just like the citizens of Rudes now."
The so-called heroes were born from people's expectations.
A great cause that can be achieved by ordinary people can be achieved, creating a great cause that people expect, and forcing people to bear their hopes. Accept the power of special treatment by others, and at the same time bear the obligation of special treatment by others-such existence.
The so-called hero.
The so-called savior.
It is the container that holds all this.
"A man once said this to me: People often say that heroes are lascivious. The so-called lasciviousness does not mean that the behavior is slutty, but actually refers to being a hero. The person who is called a hero is essentially forced by the public to be lonely. As a result, in the story, the ideal hero is loved by people. He loves everyone and uses power for the people, and the people who occupy the most weight in his heart are also the people. The hero does not allow anyone to be'special'. There must be In other words, that person must be a'princess' or an'unknown villager'. Because that is a symbol of success and a sign that is easy to classify. It is not a personality alone."
Roland feels that this argument is very similar to Li Lin's "container".
The philanthropy that is forcibly obtained is a fair, extensive and superficial love for everyone.
hero;
king;
Being so demanded by people, they were forced to cater to this desire.
"'Personal tombstone killed by the public'-this is the true face of the hero."
Richelieu sighed softly.
"Roland Dalke."
The two looked at EbookFREE.me~ across the age and identity, and looked at each other equally.
"The current situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable to us. To be honest, there is no chance of winning, and the righteousness may not be on our side. Even so -"
After a short pause, his throat choked for several seconds.
"Are you going to be a "braver?"
There is no other way. The boy in front is the only and last hope. In the face of unbridled tyranny and strategies beyond human wisdom, it is no more important than a straw. The immediate decision and subsequent actions may just be the last futile of the person who is about to drown.
Even so.
Therefore.
"--Yes."
The teenager replied calmly and firmly, without any haze or hesitation. (To be continued.) u
