Chapter 1790 The conspiracy of progressivism
After this operation, the former Blue Star citizens from New Atlanti to New Baghdad suddenly discovered that the price of a pie, which had grown to be 5 yuan, suddenly dropped to 5 cents.
Of course, the imperial army's economic order does not stop at the Blue Star Fruit Company. The water, electricity, and public transportation systems necessary for modern people's lives have also been completely taken over by the Imperial Army. Of course, these capable imperial officers are not experts on people's livelihood. They just leave specific tasks to professionals and just keep an eye on the price list.
Once the maximum price set by His Highness is exceeded, the executor involved will be dragged out and executed. Anyway, their brutal Dragon King's men have many methods to subjugate uncooperative people, from beheading to cannon to feeding dragons.
After all, they are a cruel war race, the Tirello people, and they have no time for any humanitarianism. They must use some kind of execution method for the condemned prisoners that is painless and maintains the dignity of the other party.
In fact, the rougher the methods they used, the more people cheered. At that time, the Imperial Army soldiers even felt that they were not conquerors, but liberators of justice, and they all had a high sense of mission.
Their high spirit has also infected all the grassroots staff. The petty officials and clerks in the common service department found that they did not even have the choice to mess up, so they could only perform their duties with tears in their eyes, but their work efficiency was visibly higher. many.
Well, as a conqueror, the empire seems not to worry at all about someone who cannot bear the pressure and resigns and runs away.
Here we must come up with the classic old saying. The so-called "If you don't want to do it, there are people who are willing to do it." This is really a wise saying that will never go out of style in any era of the multiverse!
After such operations, the living costs of the community citizens immediately dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. It has dropped to a level lower than before the imperial army arrived. No, even cheaper than before the war.
You know, before the imperial devils came, prices were rising every day; but after the imperial army came, it became cheaper. Looking at it this way, the Imperial Master really didn’t come here in vain!
What’s even more shocking is that even within the empire’s occupied areas, Community Blue Star Coins can still circulate normally. There are even imperial officers who go to the bank with golden dragons to exchange for Blue Star banknotes. Can you believe it?
In this way, all the merchants from New Asia to New Baghdad became kind-hearted. They secretly put away the price increase signs that changed every hour, pinched their noses and laughed to let the evaluation return to the world. , as if each of them was born to serve the people.
The same thing happened in New Baghdad and even in the settlements in the Olympus sector that the Imperial Army had not yet arrived.
In this way, many people belatedly realized that they were also human beings, and that the conqueror was also human. Then, even returning to the empire's rule does not seem to be particularly difficult to accept.
Until this time, the young King Suliuka had not led his army into the community for more than a month.
"Look, I said I came to end the war. To start a war, you have to use a sword, but to end a war, you can't just use a sword." She told her aides.
"So, are you planning to apply your governance experience during that period to this era?" Ostana said: "From the current point of view, the effect is good, and all you have done is to stabilize prices. . However, it doesn’t take long before they always ask for more.”
"Haha, I don't dare to be so simple-minded. The reason for such an effect is simply because the community government did not adopt a wartime system. I forced the Olympus Sector of the Earth people to enter this stage, and they instead wanted to Thank me." Brunhildt said. Although she was complacent, her mind was still clear.
Giafel sighed in disbelief: "In the face of all-out war with us, they didn't actually activate the mobilization mechanism and wartime economy. I don't know if it's arrogance or slowness."
"Both of them, plus that sky-breaking self-righteous stupidity. Oh, how can you fight a good battle with such insects? It's really hard work." Brynhilt sneered and said nothing. Not hiding his explicit disdain,
So, who is doing the hard work? Gyaphiel glanced at the other party, holding back a smile, and nodded with a solemn expression. The upright and awe-inspiring lady knight who hates evil has been the "Governor of the Cirque Kingdom" for almost two months. The biggest improvement is that besides unlocking the commander's skill list, her expression management has also evolved in the direction of a sanctimonious big shot.
On the other hand, the smile on Miss Chief of Staff's face was obviously narrow-minded.
Brünnhilt pretended not to see it and only said to his best friend: "Gili, you can also take the same approach in the occupied area of Cherk. Cirke is a royal country, and there are differences between nobles and civilians. There is a huge gap, but because of this, the effect may be even more obvious than within the community.”
Have you forgotten that you are the elected emperor of an imperial country? Gyaphiel's expression was strange, but he still replied: "My subordinates can only ensure that the same policy is implemented in the star areas around Catun."
"Don't force it. I have no intention of treating the snapping turtle's territory as my homeland. As long as our supply lines are safe and stable, that's all." Although Brynhilt's smile was pleasant, the content of his words was particularly disturbing. Cruel: "I just want to see more sociological samples."
Giafel shook his head slightly: "This is just your idea, Your Highness, but since I have decided to adopt a new governance model, I will try my best to be responsible for the people. Even if they are not even subjects of the empire."
An upright knight does not do social experiments, but only makes real reforms.
Brünnhilt smiled: "Yes, that's what I want from you. Just do what you want to do."
In fact, the supply line was already safe after Giafire Lamut crippled the "National Salvation United Army" of various Cirke warlords in the first battle.
However, the empire is not prepared to occupy the entire territory of Cirke, and the Privy Council has no such long-term plans. In the eyes of the imperial bosses, dividing Cirk into several countries that are opposed to each other or even attack each other, so that the alliance cannot find anyone to help them, is the most favorable situation.
Planting the seeds of change in the Circassian Kingdom, which has been under the rule for many years and is even more conservative than the empire, is also one of the necessary means to promote this situation.
This is a conspiracy, but who dares to say that this is not progress? The Circassians have everyone to thank.
"Then, do we have to let the star area occupied by Marshal Uroji go unchecked?" Ostana said: "Marshal Uroji confiscated the royal property in the territory and took in all the original color elements and research groups in the kingdom. And quite a few A number of progressive intellectuals.”
"Progressive intellectual?" Brünnhilt glanced at the chief of staff.
"My subordinates feel that this title is very suitable for them and does not contain any ironic meaning." Ostana said: "As for Marshal Urodi's specific actions..."
"I guessed what he was planning to do." Brunhildt interrupted his chief of staff. After pondering for a while, he actually showed a smile of interest, even with a bit of bad taste: " Ha, interesting. As long as Marshal Uroji's fleet doesn't come to provoke, can they do it? "
"My subordinates are not militants." said Giafel, who defeated eighteen Cirke princes in seven battles and seven victories in ten days.
Again, the Empire does not want to treat Cirke as a local territory. Naturally, the more powerful factions that can enclose territories, the better. Of course, there will be no shortage of a Cirke Republic guided by the original. In other words, whether he is on the side of social experimentation, realistic strategy, or progressivism, Brunhild is eager for this kind of country to emerge as soon as possible. However, the Galactic Empire's attitude towards the territory of the community occupied by its own side is completely different. They really wanted to complete the second conquest and establish long-lasting social governance. And this task naturally fell into Brunhilt's hands.
She was more than just a military commander. As a contender for the throne, this is a task she must complete.
After all, killing more than 200 illegal high-ranking officials and chaebol leaders is only the first step.
Subsequently, under Brunhilt's instruction, Ostana Barr sent an invitation letter to the leaders of the "Brotherhood of Steel" who had been hiding in the outskirts of New Atlantis, hoping that they could return to the solitude. Night City, discussing state affairs together.
In order to show their sincerity, the Imperial Military Control Commission of course lifted the wanted orders of all members of the Brotherhood of Steel.
This organization is also the remnant of the workers who revolted in Guye City. They have been active in New Atlantis for a year and are getting stronger, but they are always active in the suburbs.
Some members of the Earth side have always said that this organization is an evil terrorist and must have an indispensable PY relationship with the Pioneer Party. It would be better to directly say that the Pioneer Party is also a terrorist organization.
Of course, after all, we are in the Congress of the Earth. Attacks of this level can only be regarded as foreplay and happen almost every day.
As for the "Brotherhood of Steel" itself, it is actually not painful to the big shots on Earth. After the war began, this "terrorist organization" fell silent.
But now, King Suliuka has come, and there is a blue sky. With King Sulyuka coming, there will be peace in New Atlantis. King Suliuka arrived, and the terrorists wanted by the original sector government suddenly became legal.
Unfortunately, not everything unfolds as she hoped.
Ostana told her master that her good intentions had been betrayed.
"The Brotherhood of Steel is unwilling to accept your invitation. Their leader, the young man named Marius, made rude remarks and said that starting from today, they will do their best to attack these evil invaders like us." Miss Chief of Staff said.
"Did you use some foul language?" King Suliuka said with a smile.
Miss Chief of Staff smiled and said: "That's not true. He is a very educated and energetic young man. He is smart and elegant but also very determined. He is capable of both literary and military skills and is very handsome. If you really want to serve in the Military Control Commission, I will I will definitely use him again.”
Brunhilt just said "Oh" in an understatement, but then said: "Do all the people in the Brotherhood of Steel think so?"
Ostana's smile remained unchanged: "The men of the Black Tree Agency are handling it."
"Very good. After the necessary hygiene is done, Wovna will take over as the military commander of Olympus. I will wait in New Babylon for a while, and I should be able to wait until you come to help me."
To be honest, without a chief of staff around to fight with each other, Brynhilt really felt that life was not satisfactory.
From being the person in charge of the Military Control Commission who combined military and political power to becoming a senior staff member again, according to normal political logic, this is an obvious sign that the master is suspicious of his subordinates. However, Ostana had no such idea at all. This is the tacit understanding between these best friends in the Holy Tree Palace.
The chief of staff naturally accepted the order, but after logging off the line at the end of the meeting, she still said: "However, I still have to remind you that your current policies will definitely shock the earth... Haha, those who have a certain influence People. Even the bosses of the Co-Prosperity Party will have doubts about your behavior now.”
"I know, but it's not important. Those people you call influential, their opinions don't matter at any time. The reason why they have doubts is because I stopped in New Baghdad for two weeks. If I go When the earth begins to move forward, they will immediately show their loyalty and dedication, and will even kneel on the bones of their "relatives and friends" and kowtow to the dragon flag. Ostana, I know who is important, not them."
Because I have truly dominated all nations, and no one knows what it means to rule better than me. Although she didn't say so, she decided all this with an unquestionable attitude.
Is it always the people that matter? Miss Chief of Staff remembered her master's words and nodded in understanding.
Brünnhilt looked at the other party: "But, Ostana, is this your doubt, or the Privy Council's?"
"The Privy Council does have some criticisms of the policies you are currently implementing. In addition, your actions of staying in New Baghdad and standing still will indeed puzzle some adults who are not familiar with the front line. Of course, the difference between us and the Community is that, The noise from the rear cannot affect the decision-making of the front line most of the time. However, whether this is the advantage of the system or the advantage of status, your highness, this is debatable.”
After leaving these words, I don’t know if they were considered admonitions, Ostana waved and went offline.
Although the leaders of the uprising workers in Guye City were unwilling to kneel down to the dragon flag of the empire, and although there were some small noises in the direction of the sky, overall, the empire's conquest of the earth was indeed brilliant. Not a small good, but a great good.
Just when Miss Ostana Barr arrived in New Baghdad, the Dawn Angel did receive the good news that Gibraltar had been captured and the main force of the outer ring fleet had fled.
The Blue Star Community, which had two colonies and thirteen districts, was thus divided by the Imperial Army into parts that were completely unable to support each other. All their mobile power can no longer provide any effective protection to the four major star regions that account for most of the population, wealth and resources.
"The Outer Rim Fleet did not come towards us, but retreated towards the High Sea. This was a smart choice." Brynhilt smiled.
As for Marshal Farrell's fleet, they certainly did not pursue them. In addition to the Vulcan Ai Ran and a small number of relatively bulky large battleships still stationed at Nantianmen, the fleet under its command began to divide its forces to attack important transportation nodes in the outer ring star area.
Of course Brunhildt would have no objection to this.
"There are no free trade star ports and autonomous territories around the Grand Sea Star Region that can provide supplies for a fleet of this size. Therefore, they can only have one place to go." Her finger crossed the star map, and finally landed on it. On the territory of the Turank Coordinating Minister State in the Great High Seas area.
