Chapter 466: Traveling to the New World in person
In Purficott's laboratory, the huge God-killing armor has now begun to take shape.
The frame that was like a skeleton before has now been installed with many test equipment and components, and it looks like that, no longer just an empty shelf.
However, while the research and development progress was satisfactory, Purficott was not in a very happy mood.
The reason is also very simple, because she received a battle report from the colonies in the New World. Major General Richard was assassinated. Although he was fine, the assassin broke into his headquarters.
If there hadn't been a steam knight in Major General Richard's command at that time, Major General Richard might have been in trouble this time.
However, even so, the death of many senior officers in the command headquarters still turned this incident into a huge shame.
"Are you angry? Are you angry that they used such a despicable method as assassination?" Weier looked at Purficott's confused expression and couldn't help but ask aloud: "The left and right are just a bunch of lowlifes. The thugs, it’s not surprising what they use, isn’t it? They don’t have the ability to fight the imperial army head-on, so they can only use this unscrupulous method.”
It’s okay if Wei’er doesn’t say it, Po. After hearing her comments, Feiket's face became even more ugly.
The reason why I have such emotions is that on the one hand, I am angry that my subordinates were assassinated, and on the other hand, I am more angry at the revolutionary army.
Assassination is not a very rare method. In the long historical wave of the original world, too many people died because of assassination, and because of assassination, they left their names in the history of Banbanqing.
But no matter how you beautify it, it can't change the fact that assassination is an unflattering method.
No matter how romantic and heroic the assassination of General Bai Hongguanri is depicted in Tuqiongdijian, and the connotation is chivalry and righteousness, the assassination is an assassination, and there is nothing worthy of beautification. place.
Because in the final analysis, you can't win head-on, so you resort to assassination and try to defeat your opponent in this way.
If the ancient assassins of the original world and the Grand Historian praised it with the Spring and Autumn Period brushwork, and turned knight-errant killing into chivalry, then in the modern world of the original world, assassination has completely ceased to be on the table. .
Whether it was Tenchu at the end of Japan's Tokugawa period or Baldy Chiang's military command, although they claimed that they were doing it for the sake of justice and the country, it could not be concealed that they resorted to such despicable means because they were unable to do so in the front.
In addition, there have been several famous assassination cases in the modern history of the original world. It can be said that the so-called assassins have already gained a bad reputation, and no one thinks this is a chivalrous act.
And the assassination itself is more akin to a terrorist threat. Once this assassination method becomes widespread, it will only become a means of excluding dissidents, and there is no so-called justice at all.
So when Mr. Wu Hao, the most respected Mr. Wu Hao from Purficott in the original world, was in charge of espionage work, he put forward the three no principles, that is, no assassination, no bribery, and no seduction.
Perfect also followed this line of thinking and adhered to these three principles when establishing his own intelligence agency.
Because of this, the intelligence agencies in the north have extraordinary elites.
But also because of this, Purficott hated assassination deeply. Even though she had an Assassin Brotherhood composed of extraordinary people, she never thought of using assassination to solve her problem. of enemies.
Why do you use such despicable means when you can just crush things?
So, Purficott was naturally very dissatisfied that the revolutionary army led by Karen actually engaged in such a bad job as assassination. She hoped that the revolutionary army led by Kallen would have the same background as her predecessors in her original world who were willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for their ideals. But now it seems that Kallen has obviously not been able to make this revolutionary army possess the kind of skills that no matter what. An indomitable spirit no matter what the adversity.
Out of this expectation, Purficott taught Kallen a lot. When Kallen came before, Purficott thought she was doing a good job and had achievements in all aspects.
But now it seems that this revolutionary army is still a bit mixed, and there is no such kind of high-spirited spirit in the difficult situation.
Thinking of this, Purficott thought about it seriously, then stood up and said to Weier: "The development of the God-killing Armor has now achieved certain results. In the past few days, you will first carry out the completed parts. For a test, I’ll go to the New World.”
“You want to go there in person? You won’t be so aggressive, right?” Weier obviously thinks that Purficott’s personal trip to the New World is a bit of a fuss.
After all, no matter what aspect she considered, this matter was not worth the trip for Purficott to make in person.
But Purficott shook his head and said: "I will not go to the New World publicly, I will just go to a friend in a private capacity to understand the situation."
"That's it, then you should pay attention to safety, over there There's a war going on, and there might be some people who don't open their eyes." Weier reminded Purficott. Although she still disapproved of Purficott going to the New World colonies at this time, she didn't say anything more in the end. .
Perfect understands Weier's worries, but she also needs to go to the New World.
On the one hand, she needs to go to the field to understand what the Revolutionary Army is all about, and to confirm whether there is any difference between what Kallen said and the actual situation of the Revolutionary Army.
If there is really a difference, is Kallen cheating on her, or Kallen can't restrain the people underneath, this is something that needs to be clarified.
After all, this is related to how Purficott will deal with the revolutionary army next.
If Kallen really deceived her, then there would be nothing to say about the matter. She would give up going through Kallen and directly wipe out the revolutionary army, and all her original plans would be immediately nullified.
But if Kallen cannot control the people below, Purficott will have to consider how to help her purify her team and eliminate the bad apples in the revolutionary army.
Of course, even in the latter case, Purficott will further suppress the revolutionary army, and then "recruit" through negotiations with Kallen.
This is something Purficott has planned for a long time. After all, even if she does not suppress Karen and the revolutionary army, the empire cannot really sit back and watch the New World colonies fight for independence.
Although the empire is indeed facing a doomsday situation, its control over the colonies has been greatly reduced, but this does not mean that the empire will allow the colonies to become independent.
On the contrary, in times like this, the empire must maintain stability.
In fact, during this period, various colonies in the empire showed some unstable tendencies. The military dispatched nearly one-third of its steam knights to take airships to various colonies to maintain stability.
If the New World hadn't been close to the northern border, I'm afraid the steam knights who maintain stability would have arrived by now.
