Chapter 1698: 12. The other shore of good and evil (15)

Perhaps the public believes that there is absolute evil and absolute good, but for people like us and your Excellency, justice and evil are just another name for winners and losers. History and virtue are blank notebooks written by the winners. No one will condemn the winner of the complete victory, no matter what is written on it. The condemnation will only show that you have not won, otherwise the victory is not thorough enough. "
Duke Marlborough's eyes turned from the street outside the floor-to-ceiling windows back to the reception room, looking at the serious visitors.
"People at the top and the people at the bottom want to see clear results. The reason why the empire can be peaceful and the republic can be established smoothly is largely because of the results."
The empire shows the powerful force of the emperor and the emperor, and the republic shows the voice of the empire as it sweeps the world.
Although the two results run counter to each other, it is precisely because of the clear results that the two countries were born, and they have nurtured their own social order, culture and unique national temperament. From the point of "showing clear results, the people will follow, and only willingly obey", the establishment of both countries is in line with this principle.
"The empire is controversial in many things. People who hate and hate the empire are everywhere, but no one can deny that the empire is always on the right path, so that it can become the world's top power. By contrast, the Republic There are no mistakes in its claims, and it has unique and advanced insights from the perspective of foundation and forward-looking. But until this joint meeting is held, it is difficult to say that your country’s choices are based on rationality and political reality. Then How do we judge which is better or worse, who is right and who is wrong? Is a cold but correct empire the only'absolute evil' in the world? Emphasis on humanism and basic national power, but poor performance in major decision-making and execution Is the Republic of the world the only'absolute good'? I think no one can easily conclude this."
Perhaps the average person will simply put labels such as "good guy" and "bad guy" on someone, a group, or a country. But in fact, things are far from that simple, and it is even more so when it is examined in the field of political science.
Li Lin once said, "People always stand with the victors." Actually, is this not the case? Seeing the wind makes the rudder feel very poor, but when facing an opponent that is so powerful that you can't resist, finding the way to join the opponent is the only correct choice. After all, this is a world where the weak and the strong eat the fittest, and obedience does not necessarily mean weakness. Continuing ethnic groups is the top priority. The guy who can't recognize this has long disappeared into the pile of historical papers, leaving no bones or scum left.
Now the Empire is not only an opponent that is too strong to resist, but also a pillar that is too large to reach. It is expected that the countries will be willing to take risks to resist an agreement that the Empire cares about... not to mention unrealistic, at least it is also Quite arduous.
"After three years after the war, the "new order" has been established and gradually stabilized. The empire has almost become the order hub of the entire world. Politics, economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education...any international Communication can’t be established without the empire. In a popular way of saying, ‘the sneeze of the empire, the whole world has a cold’. So for my country and me, no empire’s world or new order is destroyed. The world is unimaginable and unhappy."
The Duke's expression was calm, and there was no joking in his tone.
Roland and Minerva would not think he was kidding, in fact, their thoughts are similar.
The remnants of the old order can ignore the reality and eagerly hope to reverse the clock, restore everything to the era before the emergence of the empire, consortium and even Li Lin, and reproduce their "beauty era." But anyone with enough reason knows that this is nothing but a paranoid illusion of those who have been eliminated by the times. There will never be a possibility that even a little bit will become a reality. Even if it is a pity, the delusions of this group of people have a chance to be close to reality, and most people will not accept it, and will do their best to prevent it.
The development of civilization is irreversible, and those who derive benefits from the new order and depend on the new order for life do not allow anyone to mess with the life they have adapted to.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Roland did not regard "hit the empire" as a sacred, unshakable target that did not allow any doubt.
The gap in strength is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that they do not want to be hostile to most people.
Most people, including the fourth-class citizens, have a certain degree of dissatisfaction with the current system of the empire, but this is the degree of complaining in places that others cannot see. They are not dissatisfied with their current lives.
Anyway, even if you don’t talk about the days before the fall of the old Charlemagne Kingdom, you can only use the
wonderful night
~ EbookFREE.me There has been a dramatic growth. For example, compulsory education for all people, social welfare guarantees, etc., things that were hard to dare to think about in the past. Therefore, it is enough to swear in private. If anyone really wants to practise the empire, and let everything go back to the old Charlemagne era, the first people who have a sense of sorrow will not agree. First, they do not want to be buried with fools or lunatics; secondly, the people are most afraid of being deprived of the "happy life" that they have gotten back and returning to life that has lasted for five centuries.
Fighting against the people who came forward to protect their "legitimate rights" is something that republicans dare not imagine and try their best to avoid.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, their goal is not to "down the empire", but to "coexist with the empire."
"With the empire and the new order dominated by the empire is inevitable."
Roland looked at the Duke calmly and said in a natural tone:
"This is not only recognized by the Republic, but also by most people, including the "Legion of Freedom."
"This is really unexpected reality."
The Duke's answer was still calm, but when he carefully touched it, he could smell a taunting sour taste.
"Just looking at the behavior of the people of the Republic and your organization, people don't think so."
"The empire was established in a way that was neither democratic nor peaceful, but it produced transcripts that no country in peacetime could do, and the people gained their own desires on the premise of waiving their obligations and responsibilities. What I’m fighting for, and I feel content.

Ignoring the Duke's sharp teasing, Roland said in an uncomfortable calm voice:
"Recognizing this, the coexistence relationship with the new order is not only possible but also inevitable."
