After talking to the legal marshal, Soshyan stood up from his seat, and everyone immediately jumped up as if the chairs under their butts were electrified.
He turned around without saying a word and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window next to the chair. At this time, the airship was very close to the hive city. With a clear vision, he could see the busy industrial area and huge orbital facilities below. The trains shuttle back and forth, the roads winding between cities, and the residential areas dotted with thousands of lights.
Suddenly, Soshyan made a confused sound. He saw crowds of people suddenly appearing on the road. They were walking on the road wide enough to accommodate the brutal blade, wearing colorful clothes. , waving colorful flags in their hands, and even carried a giant portrait more than ten meters high in the middle of the team. It was painted on the image of Soshyan wearing golden armor and holding a beam baton during the parade in Terra.
At the same time, fireworks bloomed in the surrounding airspace, reflecting Soshiyang's face colorfully.
Bang——
The airship's audio system was quietly turned on, transmitting the sound of fireworks and the noise of the crowd into the lobby.
"I wish the great leader, the great commander, the great hero, the guardian of the empire, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexei! Long life without borders! Long life without borders!! Long life without borders!!!"
So Shi Yang frowned and turned around. At this time, King Weilaiton XIX had carefully walked to his side.
"Governor, what's going on?"
"Chapter Commander, this is the people of the hive city who heard that you were coming and organized themselves to show their love to you——"
Soshyan interrupted him immediately.
“Those who work fifteen or six hours a day, I believe they are not in the mood to understand who the heroes of the empire are. I appreciate your kindness. Please don’t engage in this kind of personality worship next time. It is a waste of people and money. And it’s meaningless, people are already very tired from life.”
“Yes, yes, yes”
At this moment, Suoshiyang suddenly caught a glimpse of the area in Shangchao. A huge base has been laid, and various giant machines are building huge scaffolding.
“What is that being built?”
"That, that is a statue built for you. It was collectively funded by all the nobles, factory owners and Shangchao residents. When completed, it will be a full-body metal statue with a total height of 283 meters."
Hearing this , Soshyan was even more helpless, because Naisen No. 4 also built such a giant statue in the hive when he came back, and the total height was 282 meters——
Obviously Naisen No. 5 Bian knew about this, so he deliberately raised it one meter.
“Such honor should belong to the Emperor, not me.”
“There are also icons of the Emperor in the hive, everywhere. This is a tribute to you from the soldiers and civilians of Nessen 5. Dear, please don't refuse." Soshiyang sighed softly. He did not refuse the Naisen No. 4 one. If he declined here, it would appear that there is a difference between the two worlds. In the end, it was just an instruction.
"It won't happen again."
"I understand, I understand."
After saying that, he looked at the tide of people on the ground streets, the entire surface streets of the hive city Xanadu is filled with people, which is an extremely spectacular scene in itself, and it is even more shocking than the scene when I saw the celebration of the Eternal City on Terra.
“Since everyone is here, I can’t just leave and let people go in vain.”
Later, Soshyan asked the governor to turn on the giant projection equipment on the airship. As the governor's inspection vehicle, the super-large projection equipment installed on it can project a huge image with a height of more than 100 meters in the air medium. During the annual On the Emperor's Ascension Festival, the Governor will make a speech tour around the world here.
Half a minute later, accompanied by a disturbance in the turbid air, a blue bust appeared in the sky above the hive city in the ripples of water, making countless people exclaim.
This is also the first time that most people have seen the appearance of Astartes, even if it is just a projection.
"To all the soldiers and civilians of Nessen 5, I am Soshyan Alexey, the Chapter Master of the Astral Knights Chapter. I am very fortunate to be here today, adjacent to the Chapter's home, but I have never A world that I have never really reached. Everything here is strange and great to me personally. It goes without saying that it is strange. But from the moment I entered the atmosphere of this world, I felt that this world has great but painful things. People, I have traveled to countless battlefields, witnessed countless wars, and led one war after another. But it was not until this moment that I realized how much it cost to control the beast of war. The people of Nathan No. 5 are great. Yes, it was your sweat and blood that forged the sword of war to defend the empire, so on behalf of the Astral Knights Chapter, I would like to express my most sincere respect to all the residents of Nessen 5!"
said! With that, Soshiyang made an eagle salute, and then lowered his arms. At this time, the crowd crowded on the street became silent. They all looked up at the strange warrior, confused, confused, confused, and exhausted. Emotions permeated the crowd, but their numb hearts began to be slightly touched.
"However, I also see everyone's suffering, almost endless work, suffering from diseases caused by pollution, always hungry bellies, and children who cannot be raised healthily. Yes, I can see it, so now is the time to confess , the best time to speak the truth bravely, to tell the whole truth! I am an Astartes, a defender of humanity, and I will not be timid in facing today's situation. Therefore, let me first express my firm belief! ——Naisen No. 5 will usher in unprecedented changes, which will be a change that affects everyone, just like what the Astral Knights did in Naisen No. 4."
"This! It's not a slow gentle breeze, but a swift storm! Because right now, a large number of citizens of the empire are facing severe survival problems, and the vast majority of them are working hard in exchange for extremely meager rewards. I absolutely cannot. I will not deny the current gloomy reality!”
“But I am relieved that the Emperor is still giving us favors. There have been no disasters or wars here. Peace is the greatest wealth. The key now is It is how to use this wealth to benefit the smallest individuals! On the other hand, I hope everyone can understand that our troubles are not due to lack of materials, but how to ensure that everyone can get as fair as possible. It will take some time to distribute the results, but one thing I can confirm is that the tithe paid to the empire has been cancelled, and the Astral Knights will not ask for it now, and all the increased burdens due to the tithe will be canceled immediately!”
“There are three other points that will be implemented as soon as possible. First, ensure that each person’s working time is limited to 10 hours. Second, children under 14 years old will receive additional food subsidies of no less than 300 grams per person per day. , and finally, it is mandatory for all workers to receive basic protective equipment at work! In the future, managers will develop new plans and programs regarding employment, food, medical care, education, and even housing. Our ultimate goal It is to create a vibrant, prosperous world with strong industrial production capacity and self-sustainability!" (Suddenly it felt a bit like playing Tropico.)
After saying that, Soshiyang lowered his head slightly, It seems to be watching all the living beings below.
"This is the promise that I and the Astral Knights make to everyone. Under the witness of the Emperor, it will be fulfilled!"
The next moment, the entire hive city and all the streets and alleys were boiling like never before— —
Let me talk about it here. In the last chapter, some readers said that the empire does not have a network. In fact, it is not true. The empire still has an information network, but there is no stable inter-star network, but the global network can do it. , for example, the information station in the upper nest is connected to every data board in the lower nest. The empire’s information transmission technology is really not that primitive. In addition, there is really no need for AI to manage a planet, and human beings have not been ruined to this point< br>
