Chapter 1448: Twenty-nine. Vault (13)

? "You must not go out."
Favna stopped in front of Roland, her voice was steady, her tone low, and the expressionless face had no room for negotiation.
"Their purpose is you, and going out now is self-sufficient."
The method is the same whether it is against thieves or against the country.
Shoot the man first and the horse first, and the thief first capture the king.
The same is true of "Vaulting Horse" combat. As a clearly targeted special operation, the only supreme goal of the "Vaulting Horse" operation is Roland himself. Without this, any other "achievement" is meaningless. No matter how clever the empire's propaganda department is, how many heads and equipment it takes to prove that they have won a "big victory", no matter how much they flipped their lips and preached "the guerrilla's destruction is coming". No one would think that an action that did not achieve its goal would be a so-called "victory", and everyone would soon find that the ubiquitous presence of guerrillas and the appearance of the defense forces continued to be exhausted. Who is the winner is clear at a glance.
It may be hard to say that, but in fact no matter the good guys, the evil guys, the soldiers, the peasants, the clergy, the intellectuals, no matter what kind of life he has lived in before, what they look like in the eyes of others, once they are on the battlefield, they all Is a pawn. In the name of "considering the overall situation" and "dedication to ideals", pieces and cannonballs that can be discarded at any time, sometimes even need no name or reason.
The so-called war;
The so-called struggle;
In the final analysis, this is actually the case.
"I know I shouldn't say that. If we lose an infantry company, or even a division, we still have the opportunity to recruit soldiers to raise the banner of the revolution again. But you, the command line of the "Liberty Legion" will be lost, at least the whole revolution will be beaten. Twenty or thirty years off. The empire will digest the results without being disturbed, and shape their ideal "fourth-class citizen" through a combination of administration, propaganda, and education. At that time, I want to spread progressive ideas It is difficult to raise the banner of the revolution. In order to avoid this situation, even a certain degree of sacrifice will not be spared."
If you say what is the greatest advantage of the empire, it must be the long life and patience of the elves.
A person's life is only a few decades in the blink of an eye. A person's time span from birth to death to the elves may not even end puberty. In the time of a generation of elves, humans may have completed the replacement of four or five generations.
Such a long lifespan made the high-level empire not only have a far-reaching focus when formulating policies, but also had high policy continuity and stability. The most important thing is that the consequences of many education policies require a long period of time to manifest. With the advantage of longevity, the elves can observe the effects of various education policies in the same way as observing the reaction of litmus paper, so as to create the most suitable for their needs. Education system.
By that time, the soil for revolution will cease to exist, and the revolution will become a rootless tree, which will soon be exhausted. After solving the domestic revolutionary forces, the empire will free up its hands, either to deal with the Charlemagne exiles abroad, or to accumulate strength to wipe out the nations. By then, the world will really fall into the abyss.
At this moment is the crossroads where world history is facing differences. If Roland is lost here, the flames of revolution will be extinguished and the world will sink into darkness. If the core leadership of the revolution can be maintained, even if the "Liberty Army" is hit hard and the revolution falls into a low tide, it will only be temporary. They still have the opportunity to set off a revolution again, and even more so than now, a revolution that spread to the entire occupied area.
Save yourself and destroy the enemy-this is the basis of strategy and tactics.
But in this way...
"There is no difference between us and the empire."
"..."
The empire's style of action is, in a word, extremely pure realism and egoism.
Perhaps out of restraint, or out of image considerations, the empire is not as explicit as the Albion, and can directly put words such as "no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests" directly on the mouth. However, in actual actions, the empire puts efficiency and interests in the highest priority. Therefore, they can sacrifice others unintentionally and commit unforgivable crimes. Afterwards, they can use the asymmetric intelligence advantage to perform impression operations, package evil behaviors into forced decisions, use various data icons to prove, use " If you don’t do it at the time, the sacrifice will be greater
and so on to steal the concept and assert its own legitimacy. In the end, the atrocities were even beautified.
This is the thinking mode and behavior of the empire based on the basic national policy of "Everyone is unequal". This is a matter of course for them, even if you point at their noses and curse "ridiculous" and "morbid" , They will only shrug their shoulders and say they can’t understand.
No country will criticize the denial of human rights to livestock.
For the elven family that dominates the empire, humans are only high-level domestic animals that are slightly similar in appearance, walk upright, speak, use tools, and understand and execute instructions. Domestic animals that do not listen to discipline are harmful animals. Expelling, suppressing, and eliminating them are all reasonable stop-loss behaviors, let alone unethical.
Regardless of whether people accept it or not, the empire did think it from the bottom of their hearts.
However, if the "Liberty Legion" did the same thing-no matter what justification they had or how compelling the background was, they shouted "There is no precedent in history that can be achieved without sacrifice." From the moment they, like the empire, sacrifice others to save themselves based on profit and loss calculations, they have been equal to self-denial of the principle of the people. Lord. Lord. Righteousness ~ EbookFREE.me ~ from that moment, Everything they advocated began to crumble. When everyone agrees and approves of this, the destruction of the righteousness of the Lord, the Lord, and the Lord will be completed. No matter how loudly the slogan "freedom, equality, fraternity" shouted, they have become another kind of empire, reduced to the face they once hated most.
"Even if the'horse vault' operation fails to catch or kill me, the empire will use the propaganda system to describe us as terrorists who use the people as human shields, wrap the civilians to participate in suicide attacks, and escape on the corpses of innocent people. The information dissemination methods he masters cannot completely counteract the overwhelming propaganda offensive of the empire. Even if the average person has doubts, he cannot compare and verify one by one, and can only choose to believe in more authoritative media."
"but……!!"
"The most important thing is that even if you leave now, with a large number of reconnaissance'legions' on the spot and airborne reconnaissance aircraft, you will definitely be discovered not far away.
Taking a deep breath, Roland said in a decisive tone:
"Whether it is willing or not, this is a tough battle that cannot be avoided. If we cannot kill a blood, we will have no future at all."
