Standing on the small gentle slope by the mulberry sea, hearing that the young imperial official beside him did not have a trace of anger, only a faint contempt and mocking question, Xu Le's ink-like eyebrows seemed to be provoked, but finally regained his calm in a rapid cough.
"Decades have passed, and there is no point in arguing about who started the war."
Xu Le rubbed the periphery of the wound on his itchy shoulder through his silk shirt, and suddenly said, "But if I remember correctly, it was you who insidiously blew up the Federation's scientific research spaceship. ” As to who caused this bloody and protracted cosmic war, and who should bear the responsibility for opening the demon box, both young and old historians in the Federation and the Empire have their own firm narratives, because the two star fields are far apart, the war is raging, and the relationship between exchanges and isolation has not been too lively.
Huai Caoshi glanced at him coldly, and surprisingly did not express an opinion on this, but walked directly down the hill, with his back to Songhai and towards the city.
Xu Le was a little reluctant to take one last look at the green mulberry forest like the sea, listened to those graceful rustles, and turned to follow.
Then Huai Caoshi went to several other places, and in the process, he remained silent.
Xu Le didn't know the identity of this young imperial official, although he had a guess in his heart, but he lacked enough evidence, but now he could basically guess that this person's status in the empire was quite high.
So he didn't understand why this person wanted to take himself, a prisoner who would die, to continue this absurd sightseeing tour, whether the Imperials really just wanted the Federation to create heroes, and there was really no reason to admit the Federation's sins in front of the entire universe.
If Xu Le knew about some changes under the surface of the imperial political arena, if this imperial official was really the legendary figure he guessed, maybe he would be able to know why the other party deliberately delayed the date of returning to Tianjing Star.
In the afternoon, a strange procession of two skinny young men and hundreds of disguised plainclothes soldiers beside them arrived at Sangzhi State University in Lihansei.
According to the special decree of the Emperor that year, Lihanxing became the only administrative planet in the empire that implements indiscriminate education, that is to say, on this planet, whether it is your nobles or commoners, even the lowest serfs, as long as your children work hard enough and are good enough, you can get a fair chance of education, and even the best people can also get special scholarships provided by the royal family.
This plan was called the pilot of interracial education, and as soon as it was launched, it aroused the angry opposition of the entire imperial aristocracy, and whenever they thought that they were the thirty-eighth generation heir of the Glory Family, and wanted to study in the same classroom with the son of such and such a mud leg, the imperial nobles felt that they had smelled some kind of fishy smell, and felt that their dignity had been greatly humiliated, as a nobleman, how could they live with those commoners, even slaves In this matter, the emperor, who had always appeased the aristocracy in a gentle way and suppressed the untouchables in a bloody way, showed surprising persistence and strength.
Under the strong suppression of the Emperor, the nobles of the Imperial Senate looked at the soldiers at the door and the officials of the Royal Intelligence Service, and reluctantly passed the law, confirming Lihanxing as a pilot area for interracial education.
Rao was so, when the son of the first serf walked into the gate of the Huangshanji Academy with a nervous face on his face, he still needed the protection of the armed imperial soldiers.
In the following year, the nobles on the Lihan Star sent their descendants to other planets, and they would rather spend huge amounts of wealth than their children to receive a pure aristocratic education, rather than endure the bad behavior of His Majesty the Emperor on the whims of the Emperor on the Lihan Star.
For the sake of the wealth generated by the territory, these nobles themselves will certainly not leave Lihan, but this will not change a certain trend, and as more and more commoner children enter the new universities, the atmosphere in the air of this planet is becoming more and more lively, or dangerous.
Of course, these young people, who have become more capable and more confident because they have been exposed to more knowledge, are extremely loyal and fanatical to His Majesty the Emperor, who has given them all this.
In the center of the first floor, the largest building at Sangzhi State University, hangs a huge portrait of His Majesty the Emperor, and every time students pass by, they immediately stop the heated academic debate and stand up and salute with a solemn face.
Xu Le withdrew his gaze towards the portrait, listening to the quarrel from behind, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, his imperial Chinese was not good, he could only barely hear that the students seemed to be discussing the issue of controllable monitoring of engine output power, the degree of discussion was still relatively shallow, but he still felt strongly vigilant, you must know that when he was in the Federation, no one could have imagined that in the Imperial University, there would be so many civilian students discussing academic issues in a relaxed atmosphere.
He has always believed that the greatest advantage of the Federation over the Empire is not the economy, but education, science and technology, and the most fundamental way of thinking, and now the Empire seems to be quietly making changes, with the Empire's terrifying population base, it may not be too difficult to catch up with this gap.
Huai Caoshi noticed him and frowned, still silent with a blank face, and led him up to the third floor.
A history lesson was being held in the conference room at the top of the third floor, and hundreds of young men of the empire, dressed plainly, were quietly and hungrily listening to the professors on the podium.
Courseware playback equipment, progressive scanning filtered light curtains, and old-fashioned laser dot stylus are a little shabby in Xu Le's eyes, not to mention that compared with the First Military Academy or Ewha University, even compared with the university conditions in his hometown of Donglin, the empire is much behind.
But he listened attentively, for the Imperial professor was emotionally lecturing on the causes of the war so many years ago, and the professor was using standard Imperial aristocratic language, and he could barely understand most of it.
The professor of history at Sangzhi State University did not know that there were two young listeners with special status in the crowd listening to the lecture today, and he did not have the luxury of expecting that the history taught at the moment would have any impact on future history, he just told the young people of the empire about the cruelty and insidiousness of the Federation according to the standard textbook drawn up by the Imperial Royal Education Agency.
"For the Federation, a confederation of shameless politicians controlled by businessmen, what can make them spend huge sums of military money to wage a long war of national glory, they have never known how the word glory is written."
The professor waved the laser pointer on his finger in an emotional way, and the red dots of light danced rapidly across the ceiling of the conference room, like the most common silkworm on the planet before dying.
"It is interests, and only interests can make this consortium of businessmen crazy.
It is the crystal ore that only the crystal ore can maintain their infinite star field expansion, thus alleviating the deep contradictions within them" "Two hundred years ago, the Federation's crystal ore resources were close to exhaustion, and there were only two paths in front of them, one was to find or invent new alternative energy sources as soon as possible, or to find new crystal ore resources immediately, otherwise their crystal-based space vehicles would all be paralyzed, and all space weapons would fail, in other words, the Federation could collapse at any time."
However, the Federation spent more than a hundred years and did not find new crystal ore resources, and the time that could have been used to develop new energy sources was also wasted.
Why is it because one of the merchants who control the federal power has the legal right to mine the crystal ore resources, and has made a lot of profits by virtue of this power.
If the Federation develops a new type of energy, the special status of this family will be lost, and they will not be able to allow this to happen. ” "Why would the Federal Axe allow this to happen, because you should never forget that the Axe is actually in the hands of these families."
"The Federation has no crystal mines, the empire has crystal mines, when those few Federation exploration ships that should be cursed came to the empire by mistake and discovered this fact, war can no longer be avoided."
"The robbers came to the door, they didn't need a reason to rob, then what we could do, what we had to do was very simple."
The history professor lost his initial calm, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "Kill these robbers." ” Xu Le had no doubt that if his identity as a member of the Federation was known, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the hundreds of angry Imperial students in the conference room in the next moment.
Fortunately, his black hair and black eyes were the same as the imperial official beside him, although they were a little eye-catching, they attracted a slightly awe-inspiring gaze.
After listening to this history lesson, Xu Le followed the other party out of the campus, and he was silent for a moment outside the door, and made a rare request, asking for a cigarette to smoke.
In the puff of smoke, he said to the imperial official, "It's very similar to our history class over there.
The history books I've read about this passage say that the emperor went to war in order to alleviate the racial and class contradictions within you. ” Silence and cigarettes are good companions for thinking, and the reason why he thinks is because Xu Le must admit that this imperial history lesson is indeed another perspective for him to look at the origin of the war back then, especially the statement that crystal mines caused the war, which he has heard for the first time.
The family that can control the political axe is naturally the Tai family in Mochou Houshan.
"Schiller said that people have their own rights and wrongs."
He snuffed out his cigarette, clenched it in his fist, looked at the black-haired emperor and said, "And I'm not a saint, although I'm afraid of death, I'm not too afraid of death, so you don't have to expect me to rebel." ” To be continued:
