MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 851 eternal war
Fastest update! No ads!
If there is any job in the world that is 100% dangerous, has no safety factor, and is bound to overturn, it must be going to a distant port to lurk and engage in intelligence.
More vigilant than the hounds, the anti-rebellion society, the women in the neighborhood committee who are more informed than the underworld snakes, the ubiquitous "alchemy eyes", and the legendary cold-blooded, infallible super-machine life form Horus... All of which kept the reincarnation rate of Far Harbor intelligence work high.
In the past few months, I don't know how many spies and intelligence personnel who have crossed the border have entered the dark underground kiln, and even the other spies who are still lurking live in panic.
They don't even know that they haven't been arrested and executed yet, whether they haven't been found out, or whether the ruthless and bloodthirsty Yoshiko Kant has other arrangements and plans for them.
When exchanging information, they all say - be careful, Kant is watching you.
After the Tower of All-Seeing Incident, the Far Harbor and the Northern Council finally went to war. The Far Harbor, which had been calm for several months, became violent again, and the intelligence officers who had gradually adapted to the Far Harbor life became active again.
They received new orders.
Follow all movements in Far Harbor, dig for any valuable intelligence, and wait for some kind of opportunity.
Of course, some people have already waited for this opportunity.
"Remember, hide our origin and purpose, we are just ordinary Goethes."
The way to communicate is to use expensive spiritual communication short-acting scrolls, silently and without being eavesdropped.
"Our task is to awaken the fear of war in Far Harbor. We don't want to go to war with the Council. We don't want to be involved in a war that has nothing to do with us. We are Far Harbor, and we are Goethe."
Silent eyes, looking around one by one.
"We are subjects under the rule of House Teldaril, we serve Archduke Reknos instead of Kant, we respect Kant and appreciate what he has done for Far Harbor, but we don't want to join a war that has nothing to do with us, no one The tragic experience of the Song Moon War should be remembered."
The bearded man who seemed to be the leader had a solemn expression.
"Convey such a message to every Goethe around us, we have integrated into them, and in a few months, have become good friends in their eyes. Our attitude should be humble, our attitude should be gentle, we should To raise legitimate protests, to gain their understanding and support, not drastic action, to give Kant reason to wield a butcher's knife."
There was hatred, dissatisfaction and anger on his face.
"This is a technique that Kant taught us... Untouchables can be exploited and agitated. They are stupid, selfish, short-sighted, and forgetful. They just want to lie down and eat, don't want to give, and don't want to bleed."
...and an incomprehensibly stupid loyalty. .
"It's time for everything to go back to the way it was before... From Kant, take the Far Harbor back. Bring back the nobles who have been expelled, killed, oppressed, and maimed, and bring order back, and justice back."
The Goethes who stood up at the same time embraced each other.
"Let's start today."
Saying that, they pushed open the door.
The lively and noisy sound was instantly clear.
On the clean concrete pavement, a man ran forward panting with his two children in his arms. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Goethes and shouted, "Leonard, and the Giles brothers, don't be slow. Now, hurry up and grab a good spot, or you won't be able to sign up!"
Without waiting for the Goethes to respond, the father and son ran away without looking back.
Neighbors, men and women, and even elderly people are trembling on their way.
Everyone's expressions were warm and expectant, as if it was going to be a holiday.
...that's not right.
Sign up? What to sign up for?
It was two months ago that these Goethes joined Far Harbor as refugee farmers. Even if they had heard of some things, they had no real feeling at all.
But what they saw in front of them made them instinctively feel that something was wrong.
...Supposedly the far-harborers don't like wars?
"He...they..."
"Can we really persuade these Far Harbor people to oppose the war?" a younger man with a fluffy beard couldn't help saying.
The leader named Leonard gritted his teeth: "Kant wants to give a war speech, as long as he finds a way to embarrass him at the speech site, our goal will be achieved!"
He looked back at several subordinates and friends, and said decisively: "According to the original plan, when I speak, you will hide in the crowd and respond to me, Stilwell, are you ready?"
Stilwell is a sturdy man with a good appearance. He took a deep breath: "Captain, I'm ready... It's an honor to carry out this sacred and great mission with you."
Hidden for several months, just for this opportunity, in this mission, two people are mortal, the first is Leonard himself, and the second is Stilwell in front of him.
In the following war speeches, Leonard will be the opponent who will loudly question Kant. After causing a certain amount of confusion, he will be killed on the spot by "Kant's minions", and Stilwell will play this role.
After killing his old boss, the ex-soldier would also take his own life in public, turning a heated war speech into a **** farce.
Simple strategy, simple but easy to use.
Because the public never cares about the truth, but only about exciting conspiracy theories, and Leonard's questioning and the blood that comes with it will turn into a sharp knife, carving an eternal imprint on the hearts of all witnesses and bystanders, giving the people of Aurora an eternal imprint. An indelible stain has been splattered on his prestige and reputation.
And this is already the most effective counterattack method that can be imagined by the aborigines who have just witnessed and contacted the unprecedented power of new media public opinion such as radio and television.
Now, the plan has not yet been implemented, and it seems that a layer of haze has shrouded it.
According to the original calculation and the collection of intelligence, the Far Harbor people should have resistance to the war.
how come…
A few people walked along the street to the intersection of the highway. The road was actually blocked. There were traffic police maintaining order, and drones flew in the sky, making a steel-like sound, calling everyone's name accurately. Remind them to slow down and avoid crowding and scrambling.
The people who were called all stopped in embarrassment, showing embarrassment and fear.
"It's very dangerous." Leonard even heard the other party mutter in a low voice, "Almost deducted points."
Ah, the credit score.
Leonard vaguely knew that this was a new trick created by the people of Aurora not long ago. Unlike labor remuneration such as work points, which can be queried at any time, this kind of obscure rating is vague and mysterious, like a folk legend, but it really exists. It will affect your life in some inadvertent way.
The reason why it is said to be ethereal and mysterious is that the standard is a mystery and is still in the perfect stage.
It is said that many scholars and even politicians in various countries are also paying attention to this so-called credit score, because it can reflect the governing principles and ideology of the Aurora Dragon. As the head of the spy, Leonard vaguely heard some rumors, and some elf scholars who advocated the spirit of freedom sneered, saying that Kant finally showed the tyrant's feet, and he seemed to try to use strict rules to imprison the citizens into puppet-like playthings .
However, Leonard, who has personally experienced it, doesn't think so.
People who urinate in the streets and corners will be warned, and credit will be deducted on the fourth repeat offender, so even the darkest corners of the city don't smell of urine.
People who complain about this will be ridiculed - now that the Far Harbor is full of public toilets, cleaner than your home, why do you want to be handy by the wall like a dog?
In addition, those who crowded and scrambled hard in large crowds would be detained, and those who tried to jump in line in any public place would also be detained.
In this way, the points deducted that are clearly marked and declared are supported by more people and less dissenting. Leonard also expresses his appreciation for this in private.
He also hopes that the world is like this, clear, fair, and full of order.
…wrong.
What am I thinking?
As he marched with the crowd, he pushed the idea out of his mind. It was two different things. He convinced himself that, as a Goethe, he was grateful for what Kant had done to the country, but he could not accept and forgive this shock. Dan's subsequent behavior.
Kill innocents, overthrow the sacred order, bully the nobles who have given so much to this country, seize the sacred territory of this country, humiliate all nobles...
So here I am.
I will defy the tyrant with fearlessness, and I will repay his favor with death.
His subordinates and comrades had dispersed, and only Stilwell was still nearby, neither looking sideways nor looking in this direction, as if they had become strangers to each other.
What sounded in his ears was an excited conversation between a couple, the voice was interrupted by a louder noise, and Leonard only heard strange words such as "work points", "activity", and "big turntable".
The people around Far Harbor seemed to be discussing with excitement and anticipation.
This is not right.
This is war.
What are they happy about?
Have they forgotten how terrible war is?
The tragic results of the Song Moon War are still in front of him. As a veteran who participated in that war, he can still remember the powerlessness and despair. Whether it was before the war, during the war or after the war, everyone mentioned the war with the elves, and they all revealed that. Fear, dread and anxiety, Goethe is a small country, and its former glory is gone.
So stay away from war and don't get involved in war again.
So, don't you think there is a problem?
Kant has brought war! Are you still laughing?
Leonard's eyes were disappointed and sad, and his eyes flicked across smiling faces.
The opponent is the Arcane Council, which is comparable to the elves, and is also a first-class country. Kant has provoked such an enemy to Far Harbor and even Goethe. You are still laughing and looking forward to it?
He couldn't argue with his anger, but felt that Far Harbor had gone mad. He worried anxiously in his heart, roared angrily, and even cursed in a twisted way—this is very wrong, very wrong indeed. When the news of the war came, Danfeng Lucerne was already crazy, the nobles were in chaos, and the whole country was in chaos.
And Far Harbor is still laughing?
But...but...
Kind of envious.
Facing the threat of foreign powers, Far Harbor can be so calm and calm.
Kant, Kant without a doubt, gave the city courage and confidence.
The Dragon of Aurora... a name that the entire Goethe can't forget.
He saved the country and hurt and humiliated the country.
Leonard came to the city two months ago and lurked. In this city ruled by Kant, he was shaken and shocked many times.
That is the life you dream of, a stable, rich and dignified life, no need to worry about tomorrow, no need to live servilely, just work hard and you can live well, no need to go to camp or flattery, no human feelings, only order, no corruption, only Smash the rotten iron fist.
He even hopes to live here forever and be an ordinary worker all his life.
But no, he is a Goethe.
Kant is humiliating and trampling on this country. Even if he puts on a hypocritical appearance, there must be a hidden conspiracy... He believes so.
Otherwise, why would he come here and do these things?
I could have stayed in Danfeng Lucerne, married Princess Tina, and then assisted the princess in inheriting the position of Grand Duke, accepting the allegiance of the entire principality, accepting the blessings of the sincere, brave and fair nobles, and making the whole Goethe a distant port The way it looks - why is it like this?
What is he trying to do?
Maybe it was because he knew that death was imminent, so he thought too much. Leonard went with the flow and was confused, listening to the noisy and excited whispers in his ears, all the way to the north of the city.
After several months of expansion, Yuangang has planned a new area, and the huge square can't see the end at a glance.
Looking from a distance, because of his strong physique, he stood on tiptoe and saw the neat army formation in the square. The icy huge armor, the heavy chariot, the armed vehicle that has never been seen before, all the weapons, equipment, vehicles and soldiers are uniform, as if carved out of a mold, standing silently like a cold wind.
He saw legions of different military appearances, attire, and weapons lined up in arrays, standing by on large platforms, huge purple prisms suspended high in the sky, and military flags fluttering in the wind.
At last he heard a uniform cry that reverberated in the sky.
"Kant-Kant-"
It's like calling out the king's name.
The LCD screens erected all over the city projected the heroic appearance of the Dragon of Aurora when it came, and the image generators everywhere also gathered element particles to simulate Kant's half-body phantom.
UAV rebroadcast, broadcast transmission, and sound wave array activation.
The fire thief's voice resounded throughout the city.
Low, peaceful and powerful.
"Hello, good citizens of Far Harbor. To all hardworking workers, fearless soldiers, hardworking fathers, hardworking mothers, men and good girls ready to take on family responsibilities, and those who are trying to grow and learn for the future. My children, I am Kant."
"No need to whitewash, I come to you today to talk about the imminent events of Far Harbor - a shameful planned brutality, robbery, conspiracy and hostility from the rebellious Griffin Williams, the brazen Former Supreme Leader of the Senate."
"I have no intention of repeating to you the serious crimes he committed against his own country, because it has nothing to do with us, and we are going to accuse and confront the serious crimes he is about to commit against Far Harbor and Goethe. He deceived and gathered Still allegiance to his Legion, started the war with us."
"Here, I must point out that it seems that without knowing it, a voice has arisen in the far port, that the default is that the far port will always be far away from war and will never be invaded. If a war breaks out, it must be my fault. - It's as if the Song Moon War was also provoked by me!"
Hearing Leonard here, his heart sank.
He was waiting for the right moment to speak, but at this moment, unease was spreading.
"What are you thinking? People from the Far Harbor! I'm not here to explain to you today, hoping for your understanding. I'm here to tell you one thing clearly, and that is—"
"War! There will be many more wars in the future! A lot!"
Not only Leonard was stunned, thousands of listeners were in an uproar.
"You don't want war? Yes! There is only one way to stay away from war, and that is to go back to the past! Back when food was one price a day and you couldn't feed your family after a hard day! Back when gangsters ran rampant on the streets and you had to work hard. When the protection fee is paid! Back to all kinds of tricky and mean tax rates, back to the aristocratic master, back to the time when you could only eat **** every day!"
"What are you thinking! People from Far Harbor! Work points, eight-hour workday, unlimited food and spices, a life richer and more fulfilling than elves—do you think it's all free!? You think robbers won't come and rob Do you think that the gentlemen of Danfeng Lucerne and even the imperial court will happily watch you pariahs eat deliciously and do not know what aristocrats are?"
"When a robber sees a wealthy household, he will **** it with a knife in the middle of the night. When a local ruffian sees someone making money, he will try his best to get a piece of the pie. The same is true for the country and the country! There are many jackals in this world, but they don't like others, Griffin Williams Not the first, nor will he be the last!"
"If you want to stay away from the war, you can! Just go back to the past! As long as I leave!"
"When I leave, there will still be hospitals, schools, shopping malls, cinemas and stadiums, but they are not yours anymore! There will be no more food to eat, no three-pack ice cream, and merchants will raise prices. Rise to the point where you can't afford it, no one cares if you starve to death, and you and your ragged children will be beaten out of malls and movie theaters like dogs—"
Kant stopped for a moment, and then said sharply: "Is this what you want? Answer me! Far Harbor people, is this the future you want, the peace you want?"
The crowd in the square was silent for a moment, and then, the roar that shook the sky continued like fire.
"Do not-"
-wrong!
This statement is wrong!
Leonard's face was pale, and he realized that the despicable tricks used in Kant's speech were two different things - but in this situation, who would care about this?
He looked around blankly, even the child's face with anger and intense emotion.
"Then there is only war!"
Kant waved his arm vigorously, as if grasping a sword and slashing the enemy.
Traveling through other worlds, fighting wars, fighting against powerful armies, chatting and laughing with emperors, students who were once ignorant of world affairs on earth have experienced and trained to become speakers who can wear language into battle.
He said sharply: "Otherwise? You are neither willing to die, nor give up everything you have, and become pariahs and slaves, so is there any other choice besides war?"
The response was like a tsunami, and the childcare placed in advance was no longer needed.
"-No no!"
"Then give them war! That's what I'm going to do! That's what these soldiers who are ready to go are going to do! Griffin is not the first, and will never be the last, all we can do is Beat every invader! Let them cry! Let them shed blood! Let them cry in the fiery purgatory, and let them remember the pain and fear in their hearts in this life!"
"Then give them war! Ride the storm of war and fight against the threat! In every way you can, with our warriors, protect what we have!"
"Today we shall set off to the handover of Goethe and the Council, under the city of Nar in the south, and we shall fight the enemy in Goethe's territory, and then we shall fight them in the enemy's territory, until the hilarious idiot of Griffin To be punished until the Council of the North realizes their foolish error and surrenders to us! Then we shall return triumphant, full of booty and glory!"
"Such a war, such a victory, will continue and last until all those who are envious and hostile to us are most thoroughly deterred - until peace finally comes!"
"Far Harbors! My armies and I will win! And I command you, like these venerable brave men, to prepare for the coming and possible endless war! To the factories! To the fields! Also Learning and training in shooting ranges, medical academies and training camps! The use of weapons! The excavation of fortifications! Common sense of war!
"Train yourself, and train and teach your child, and encourage him to join a glorious army, to be trained and armed, just like these warriors who are fighting every enemy to the end for your sake—"
"With blood, sweat, toil and tears all good, holy and eternity will be defended against all tyranny, evil, plunder and perdition - I am Kant, start the leap!"
In the earth-shattering cheers and roars, the huge prism floating in the sky suddenly spread out the purple field of light. In the sight, TV and distant view, the array of legions on the huge platform turned into flying streamers, disappearing into the radiance of phase transmission. In the light, the shocking music sounded at the right time, as mighty as an epic.
All the voices of Far Harbor are replaced by the same voice.
"Long live - long live - long live -"
Leonard trembled in this voice, and only then did he realize how ridiculous that poor plan was. The Dragon of Aurora let the language put on armor and hold the sword, like an iron cavalry, roaring.
One after another voices kept coming.
"Mayor Hong San announced that this week is the week of preparations-"
"50% off the consumption of work points for facilities such as shooting ranges, training camps, and military experience halls—"
"The large-scale event 'If you want peace, you must first prepare for war' is officially launched—"
"Citizens will be rewarded with work points for completing daily task training—"
In a sea of jubilation and enthusiasm, Leonard looked around, only to feel that he was so out of place, he opened his mouth, his eyes changed from confusion to frenzy, and he suddenly shouted loudly.
"you-"
In the next moment, there was a pain in the chest and abdomen, and the spikes exuding strange purple awns protruded through the chest.
The voice wilted like a punctured ball, and Leonard glanced blankly at the purple spikes.
"Successful capture."
An indifferent voice rang in his ears.
"Mr. Spy, welcome to start a different life."
