Chapter 1656 From ghost to man
Li Yao: “…”
Ling Xiaole: "To be more precise, it was the 'former imperial army'. They were all prisoners of war from the 'Fight of the Firefly' ten years ago. During that battle, our federal god of war, Ding Lingling, not only rescued the Firefly from the Imperial Claw Fleet, but also captured a large number of imperial patrols and raiders, and of course, many officers and soldiers on the Starship.
"In the next ten years, these imperial officers and soldiers were undergoing transformation in prison camps. These uncles and old men were originally the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet. They were the targets of oppression and enslavement. They were not too late to owe any blood debts to our federal people. They were all reform activists. During the ten years of transformation, they had already repented, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and turned the face to change their minds and became human beings again, so they were released and started a new life in the Federation.
"These are now the most determined supporters of the cultivation path. Seeing us game masters wearing imperial military uniforms and "showing their power" there, they inevitably feel aroused from the scene. They remembered the first half of their lives that they couldn't look back on. They were angry and did stupid things. Don't be surprised by them."
"I see."
Li Yao patted Hei Yelan's shoulder heavily and said to Ling Xiaole a little embarrassedly, "My secretary, I have an irreconcilable relationship with the Empire... The revenge of killing my father, I can't help but feel a little excited when I heard that there was a 'real' imperial army here. Then again, can you even transform the imperial cultivators?"
"Of course, since cultivators can be transformed into immortals, why can't cultivators transform into immortals?"
Ling Xiaole said, "Not mentioning the slave soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet, the so-called "original people". Even grassroots officers, those cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, are also victims of the "Immortal Cultivation Avenue". The oppressed class of the real human empire is deceived, enslaved, and squeezed like a bone-killing and marrow-sucking, and will not stop until death.
"If you are interested, I can send some information about the "Record of Prisoners of War Reform". In the past ten years, through a lot of communication with prisoners of war, we have a deep understanding of the system, survival methods of the Black Wind Fleet, and the various life of ordinary people and lower-level cultivators on the ship.
"The two don't know that in fact, these lower-level cultivators lived a miserable life on the ship. In order to launch a war of aggression, most of the supplies of the Black Wind Fleet were sealed during the long voyage. On the one hand, under the instigation of various anesthesia and deception, they had to explore the extremely dangerous unknown star domain in the depths of the starry sea. They could have no bones left in minutes; on the other hand, they had to intrigue, fight openly and secretly, and live to the death, even sleeping with one eye, guarding against the poisonous blades that were stabbed silently.
"In the past, they had no choice. They thought that the way to cultivate immortality was the only truth that was natural and true in the universe. They had no idea about this dark and miserable life, so they did not know how to reflect and resist.
"After being captured by the Federation, they learned a lot of theories about the cultivation path in the prisoner-of-war camp; they often organized them to participate in the debates between "cultivation" and "cultivation of immortals". They also organized the "original people" slave soldiers in the prisoners of war, that is, ordinary soldiers of the empire, to "pair" with the lower-level immortals, to force them to help each other in an equal way, and even let the "original people" slave soldiers become the captain of the transformation team to manage other immortals, and to organize "report meetings" and "exposing and criticizing meetings" to expose all kinds of outrageous sins within the Black Wind Fleet.
"Although they are prisoners of war, the federal government does not mean to torture or abuse them. Except for a very small number of people who were exposed at the "reproaching meeting, exposing and criticizing meeting". They were extremely guilty and inhumane, and were punished by Ming Zhengpao. We still tried our best to save them by ordinary soldiers and officers from the lower class of immortal cultivators.
"The conditions in the prisoner-of-war camp are naturally very difficult, but everyone is equal. Even our cultivator instructors do not enjoy better treatment than prisoners of war. Everyone eats and lives together, participates in labor together, learns new knowledge together, practices magical powers together, and has meticulous care for prisoners of war. For the first time in their lives, they realize that "dignity" is not necessarily determined by strength, and people can actually trust each other absolutely, without having to be careful and erect and behave as a human being.
"In this way, almost all ordinary soldiers awakened in just half a year, defected to the embrace of the Federation, and stood completely on the opposite side of the empire.
"Even the cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages are grassroots officers and small leaders in the Black Wind Fleet. At most, most of them have completed a transformation and a rebirth in the next life in three to five years.
"At this time, we took the prisoners of war out for a visit, and visited all seven great worlds, allowing them to see the great achievements made by the Starry Federation under the guidance of the Great Way of Cultivation; they saw that men, women, young and old living in the new Federation, whether ordinary people or cultivators, were sweating and struggling for the future; naturally they also saw the "national weapon" like "Civilization"!
"After all this, many prisoners of war have been completely transformed. After three pardons, a large number of prisoners of war have been released. They will work together with 100 billion members of the federal government to build a common future for each other!"
Ling Xiaole's long speech made Li Yao feel deeply moved.
Not to mention Hei Yelan, if it weren't for the psychic energy that Li Yao had just sent into her body, she would probably have screamed with her hair pulling her hair.
Li Yao calmed down: "What are most of these prisoners of war doing now?"
Ling Xiaole said: "Everyone is self-supporting in society. Basically, those who are engaged in two professions and are more open-minded are "professionals of the Empire", playing the role of the Empire in "Civilization", or acting as consultants, leaders, coaches, etc. for the "villain team" such as the "Storm Assault Team", helping them carefully craft every detail to ensure that the various simulated battles are more realistic. The best in this field are all doing well.
"However, not many people can see this. Most prisoners of war still hate their first half of their lives and the real human empire, like these old men just now. They hate them to the core.
"After training, they will go to various local schools and act as special 'historical teachers' to warn the teenagers of the Federation with their personal experience how terrifying the empire is, how beautiful the children's happy life is now, how hard-won, and how worthy of protection!
"This kind of 'historical teacher' is very popular. After all, there are too many monks and less porridge. There are so many primary and secondary schools in the Federation. Which school doesn't want to get a living 'imperial witness' to come back to town those monkeys? So, these former imperial soldiers, now the new life of the Federalists is starting to be pretty good!"
Li Yao was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Hei Yelan again, and murmured: "This is really different from what we thought of on Firefly!"
Ling Xiaole stuck out his tongue and said boldly: "It's all your fault for your 'Speaker Cui'. Isn't he who had always been worried that the Federation would subtly 'erode' your 'orthodox government' and strictly block all the news about the Federation, which made everyone so alienated. Fortunately, he has figured it out now, and it's not too late!
"I can probably guess what you think. You didn't want to fight back to the center of the Star Sea for a second.
"To the extreme heaven and to restore the entire universe is of course the idea of our Starry Federation. But if you think about it carefully, the real human empire controls hundreds of worlds, and the Covenant Alliance also controls hundreds of worlds. How many immortal cultivators are there in total, and how many humanoids are there who obey the "Pangu Covenant"?
"We cannot kill all the immortals and humanoids. They really ignite the war in the middle of the Star Sea, killing hundreds of worlds. The people are rolling and blood flowing into rivers? Not to mention whether it can be realized, even if it can be realized, this is an irreversible disaster for the entire human civilization!
"Instead of killing all the cultivators and imperial soldiers, we hope to transform them all, and even in some way, instantly 'awaken' them, so that the real human empire would collapse from the inside in a very short time, and be overwhelmed by the anger of the awakened people and the lower-level cultivators!"
Li Yao pondered for a long time, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "No, I'm afraid all this was arranged by you, so we should see it on purpose. Otherwise, there would be no such coincidence!"
Ling Xiaole smiled and admitted openly: "Yes, we did arrange these 'formerly Imperial soldiers' here to deliberately make them collide with the 'Storm Assault Group', but we did not write any scripts. After the two sides collided, their reactions would be completely out of our control.
“This is not intentionally arranged for two people, but part of another large-scale test project.
"After all, they are imperial prisoners of war. There are still many cultivators lurking in the Federation, and there are evil organizations like the "Emperor Association". We cannot completely let prisoners of war run around the society without any surveillance. This is not only irresponsible to the Federation, but also to themselves.
"So, it is necessary to arrange such a test session, measure their psychological state through their on-site reactions, whether they have completely completed the transformation, whether it is suitable to continue to stay with the children in the school, etc.
"If you think about it carefully, you will know that we cannot let them act and transform them after finally making it. Now that we have to act in front of you and make fraud, isn't it shaking their hearts?
"The test applications for these old gentlemen were issued a few months ago. We just temporarily adjusted the route so that we could just run into them so that we could introduce our policies to the cultivators and prisoners of war through the most realistic examples." (~^~)
