Chapter 233: Drawing out the fire in their hearts
One week after ‘Bloody Tuesday’, the results of the investigation report signed in the name of the princess were made public.
In this report, it is described in detail how the galaxy governor Simon and the planet administrator Alvin sent people to spread rumors and incite the masses.
And the daring one gathered a large number of armed thugs with dangerous weapons when the imperial princess visited, gathered the 'deceived' people, and stormed the Rose Square, which eventually led to a bloody incident.
The description of the bloodshed in the report is not extensive, it is only briefly mentioned in a few strokes, on the grounds that it is not suitable for everyone to watch.
The number of people who died in this bloody incident was vaguely described as "a large number".
However, based on the observations of several 'Attack Effect Assessment Teams' in the Guards Regiment after they arrived at the scene, it was initially determined that more than 3,000 people were killed directly under the attack of high-energy lasers.
In addition, there are also a lot of collateral damage caused by chaos, such as stampedes, congestion, and mutual attacks.
The overall number of casualties may have exceeded 4,000.
Although the report did not mention the word 'regent' throughout.
Simon and Alvin continued to insist that the whole thing was planned by them until the rope was put around their necks.
But if the 'insiders' in the imperial political arena study this report carefully, they will find that the word 'regent' is actually written between the lines.
I would just point it directly at his nose and say that he is the mastermind of this incident.
At the same time, after hanging Simon and Alvin, the new galaxy governor and planet administrator also took office at the speed of light.
Needless to say, these two people are all members of the Princess Party, and they are quite hardcore.
In this case, many people believe that Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes was actually a blessing in disguise in this incident.
Not only did it suppress the 'voice of rebellion' in the Vendée galaxy, temporarily reducing the people's distrust of the royal family in the Vendée galaxy, but it also directly secured the important position of galaxy governor to one of its own. body.
With the expansion of human territory to today's scale, the excessive distance has hindered the connection between various planets.
But for rulers, they can carry out differentiated management of different population-gathering planets and achieve 'intensive farming'.
Although the taxes here in the Vendée galaxy have dropped a bit, the slightly higher tax rates from several other galaxies under different names are enough to make up for the shortfall in this area.
"As expected of Her Royal Highness, you have easily accomplished what others cannot do."
In the ancient manor, Regent Norton II looked at the report presented on the desk and praised with a smile.
There was no trace of frustration at the failure of the plan on his face.
Although Agnes ordered the planet to be sealed off and tried every means to suppress the news of 'Bloody Tuesday'.
But for Norton II, who has been working in various border galaxies for many years and has buried many chess pieces, it is not difficult to obtain the details of the incident on July 16.
"I didn't expect you to look so relaxed. The bribed governor of the galaxy and the administrator of the planet are just gone. It's a loss-making deal, right?"
The Regent's Astral, his childhood friend and aide, sat on a chair and spoke.
When he came to the study this time, he remembered to bring a chair.
“These two bastards deserve to die”
Norton II closed the report, looked at Astral and said:
"When I asked people to give them a message, I made it clear that I would find a way to form a concrete 'public opinion' and apply extreme pressure. But the premise is to try not to cause bloody casualties to civilians."
The Regent's tone unconsciously became a little heavier. "But what about these two bastards? They knew that the Guards had changed commanders, but they still advanced so rashly. Not only did they cause huge casualties, but they also allowed our Princess to legitimately cleanse the galaxy."
After speaking a lot of words, Norton II slowed down his speech slightly, and his whole body gradually calmed down.
“But this also proves this point again - people bought with money are often unreliable.”
"Then what should we do now? The fire that was finally lit was extinguished before it could burn."
Astral frowned, just like this for the planet that he spent time laying out. Being suppressed, I still felt a little unwilling.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess put out the 'fire' with strong force, which is actually a good thing."
"Is this still a good thing?" Astral looked at the regent behind the desk. Wang asked in confusion.
“You are still blinded by what you see in front of you, Mr. Astral, it seems that I will recommend more books to you next time.”
Norton II spoke in an unhurried tone and said with a smile:
“Why was the fire on Vendée 6 extinguished by forceful means?
Because the civilians on the planet They are afraid!
They are afraid that scavengers or secret police will come to their door, they are afraid of being implicated by others because of the joint sitting system, and they are afraid that they will be like those people in Rose Square.”
Astral's eyes suddenly lit up. As a staff member of Norton II, he had realized what the regent wanted to say.
"'Fear' and 'anger' in this situation are often related. At the moment they are just suppressing their 'anger' in their hearts."
"In addition, the subsequent promulgation of The new policy, so they temporarily put aside their thoughts of resistance." Astral said.
“Yes, although the riots on Vendée Six seem to have subsided, the seeds of anger have actually been planted. When public opinion breaks out next time, it will only become more intense.”
Norton II leaned back in his chair, and his entire upper body was hidden in the shadows.
“I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for finally embarking on the path of violence to quell chaos.
Although compared to other methods, this is already a 'quick knife to cut through the mess' approach.
But unfortunately, this approach will only plunge the empire into a slow death.
Vendée No. 6 is by no means the last place where riots broke out. What if similar or more powerful riots occur in other colonies next time? Thermo-pressure floor scrubbing? "
Astral nodded, and then said:
"So for Her Royal Highness, Pandora's box has been opened, so what should we do? ”
"Bring out the fire in the hearts of the people." The regent's somewhat cold voice came from the shadows.
“Other than that, we don’t want to do anything on the surface, put away our fists and quietly recharge.
Let’s make arrangements. We will set off to the base camp tomorrow. The two Dukes are on the front line. It’s hard work after staying here for so long. It’s time for them to come back and take a break.
Don’t the people on Her Majesty’s side always think that we have taken the lead? Since they want to make contributions on the battlefield so much, Just let them go"
"Yes, my lord"
Astral nodded and stood up to leave.
As a result, I heard Norton II add another sentence.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Send a reliable person to contact Mr. Amber."
