Chapter 1131 -671: Father’s Guidance_3
Currently, there are many talented individuals in the Third Warzone, and in theory, there are quite a few who could succeed Andrei.
However, recently, voices have started to emerge from the upper echelons of the Imperial Headquarters and the Cloudtop War Zone that many people believe Nora Camp’s outstanding performance, her decisiveness, her meticulousness, and her considerable ingenuity, make it time to consider promoting her to a higher position ahead of schedule.
When humans first established the Prometheus Project, the goal was to cultivate the supreme commander of the Empire, not to have her remain in charge of special operations forever.
So, at that time, even if Nora Camp couldn’t directly take over, she would most likely be pushed up first to serve as the interim commander-in-chief of the Third Warzone.
If she could handle it, then she would immediately be confirmed in the position.
However, there seems to be some uncertainty now, and Roger Baker is not quite sure if it will ultimately happen.
There will definitely be many people who see Nora Camp pinching Nico Ross’s ears and then blushing and running away, which will lead to a very important depth assessment.
Obviously, when she is with Nico Ross, the Destiny Covenant Mark that locks her personality will loosen, and she will exhibit strong non-military characteristics and become very emotional.
Roger Baker does not know if this is good or bad.
If, as a commander-in-chief of a warzone, she is prone to strong emotional fluctuations, then her decision-making stability will likely be affected.
Whether this impact is good or bad, and whether it enhances or reduces her abilities, is uncertain for everyone.
Stability is more important than anything else in an ever-evolving military system where mistakes are not allowed.
A few minutes later, the family of three returned home, and Emma Lee went to the kitchen to prepare some side dishes herself.
Father and son, Nico Ross and Roger, sat down in the living room.
Although they had met many times through the quantum network, there was still some awkwardness when father and son actually sat face-to-face.
Roger Baker did not immediately start talking but was quietly calculating in his heart how to broach the subject.
In the past, behind every sentence Roger Baker and Nico Ross spoke, were the arrangements of the Sage Project Committee.
But now that the Sage Project is in name only and the cultivation of Nico Ross has been entirely handed over to “destiny”, Roger Baker is actually a little hesitant about how to proceed.
After a while, Roger Baker finally said: “Nico, you’ve done pretty well these years, but I personally think you’re a bit impatient.”
Nico Ross shrugged, “The early bird catches the worm; I have no choice.”
“Isn’t your having no choice a manifestation of your anxiety?”
“I just want to leave school as soon as possible and go to the 9527 Fleet.”
“Are you still worried about Nora Camp’s safety? Haven’t you talked to Daniel Thompson about this? Don’t you agree with his views?”
Nico Ross shook his head, “It’s not entirely because I’m worried about her. Actually, I can feel that the academy has invested a lot of resources in me. My existence occupies too much of the educational resources, crowding out the growth space of many peers and younger prodigies. Too many people are working behind the scenes to cooperate with me in this play, and I can feel their fatigue. For example, Daniel Thompson is now just the direct instructor of my class, spending at least more than half of his energy on me. But I believe his achievements should not stop there. There are so many such cases, and I’m very uncomfortable and unhappy with it. So I think if I go directly to the battlefield and participate in the internal competition of the military and face the threat of the Compound-Eyed Observers, I can accelerate my growth and save a lot of unnecessary resource waste.”
Nico Ross said a lot, but Roger Baker went straight to the point, “You said it’s not entirely because you’re worried about her, which means there is some worry. Your personal feelings have interfered with your judgment. However, I think you should have faith in the security forces around her. Moreover, with your current unsteady A-Class warrior abilities, even if you were by her side, you would only be adding a cannon-fodder-like guard, which is not very significant. Also, the front line is not like here; if you were to die early in battle, all your thoughts would be in vain.”
Nico Ross turned his face away and stubbornly said, “I won’t necessarily die, right? And why can’t I die like other B-Class warriors? Is it solely because I am the descendant of the heroic Baker family? If we have reached this point and human civilization is still so shallow, distributing resources so crudely and irrationally due to bloodlines and classifying the value of human lives, and still maintaining this shallow mindset, we are bound to lose the war sooner or later.”
Roger Baker was greatly alarmed.
“This…”
He did not expect that Nico Ross, whose theoretical psychological age was still that of a child, would come up with such thoughts.
Is this the insight of the “sages”?
The people in the Sage Project Committee are really wronged.
Roger Baker’s mind whirled quickly, deciding to steer the conversation back to Nora Camp, “It is a bit biased for you to try to understand the entire civilization with your relatively shallow knowledge. You are still under the control of personal emotions and see the world through a relatively narrow perspective. You are self-persuading and finding reasons for yourself.”
Nico Ross stubbornly shook his head, “I refuse to accept.”
Roger Baker: “Then, let me follow up on what you said, have you thought about whether it is really reasonable to give you such resources just because you are a descendant of the Baker family?”
Nico Ross: “So what’s the real reason then?”
“When the time is right, you will know. But for now, you should turn the external resource tilt into a stronger sense of responsibility within yourself. You have to be worthy of these resources, and there is more than one way to do so, like rushing to the battlefield. You should also believe that behind all the arrangements, there must be some important reason that you don’t know.”
Nico Ross pouted, “In the end, am I just too important, and not allowed to die?”
“You are now constantly training, and even if you participate in battles remotely, you are only exposed to small-scale fights. Let me show you a real large-scale battle, and let you feel more deeply how fragile individual lives are in a confrontation at this level, and how small individual emotional tendencies are in the face of collective needs.”
After saying that, Roger Baker opened his personal auxiliary system, selected the most fierce large-scale battle he had participated in so far, and brought Nico Ross’s thoughts into it.
The figures of the father and son appeared in an empty void.
This is a stellar system on the outer edge of the Cloudtop Star Region.
It is a common binary star system, with a total of 170 million human battleships stationed, and a total population of over 2 billion.
Nico Ross said, “I know this battle, it’s called the Z-Star March Battle, and I’ve seen the battle simulation. In this confrontation, we lost nearly 100 million ships, and more than 1.2 billion people were killed.”
“As a primary student, you can only get a very basic and general understanding of the situation from the outside. I will take you inside to see the people within. You should understand that in war, people die, not numbers. When you understand the meaning of this, you should know that for the sake of better victory and fewer deaths in future wars, even seemingly unreasonable actions have their inevitability and value. Even if the essence of the decision is a gamble, as long as it pays off, it’s worth it,”
