He has not called her by her name for a long time since Xia came of age. This kind of address means that he respects the other person's independent personality at the social level rather than treating the other person as part of the family.
Now, as a father again after a long absence, he slowly said to Xia: "I believe that even if most people are deceived for a while, they will eventually wake up. Unless the education they receive is insufficient, the education they receive will not be enough."
The intelligence is wrong. And if so, then the problem should also be with the education department and the media - no wise general can command a war when the intelligence is completely wrong, so we should not require people to be able to see through lies.
.
"Even if they are perpetrators and part of the chaos from a macro perspective, it does not mean that they are evil. At best, they are just stupid. But more often than not, those who are sober and smart are thinking too much.
But if you are silent, only people who don't use their brains will say and do it immediately... So most of the fools you see are actually the same group of people.
"I still believe in right and wrong, but smarter and more reasonable people have a stronger social self-awareness - the more rational people think they are, the less they want to fight animals to the death, so they don't want to offend crazy people
.In other words, the reason why they don't speak is just because they think they are the weaker party at the moment... As long as we let the situation change, when they realize that they are no longer in a headwind battle, they will naturally stand up.
"They will be eager to share the truth, settle the resentment of those who dissatisfied them, and deeply reflect their wisdom and understanding. The sense of superiority will emerge all at once..."
At this point, Dodgson paused.
It seemed like he was leaving Xia to defend himself, but Xia just looked at him calmly and intently.
Dodgson was a little surprised.
"...I thought you were going to say something like, 'Then they are just cowards, not good people.'"
"So...Kasumi, what do you want to do?"
"……ah."
"I don't think you can do anything wrong. I also believe that you have grown up now and have your own judgment and a cool head, so you won't go too far.
"...Indeed."
"It's just a group of people arguing on the Internet."
"——Isn't this not a big deal now?"
This is undoubtedly a serious violation.
Dodgson smiled bitterly: "It's more or less the same. But strictly speaking, what Selon told us was not 'not to take sides', but 'don't cause any big trouble'."
"The dragon is coming back. I hope you can remember that the dragon is the real master of this world.
When it is liquidated in the future, Dodgson's directors will be done with it.
What should I say at this time?
"If I were in the past, I might really say that."
Isn't it a kind of escape to retreat from today's rapids?
"Just like those 'cowards' you mentioned before."
He just closed his eyes and whispered: "Anyway, I feel that... this position of director is somewhat unviable. It is indeed not suitable for me..."
"...You have become a little more tactful."
"I guess the chairman must have given you a prohibition...for example, you can't intervene directly, or the board of directors can't take sides. Otherwise, you would have taken action long ago. You won't wait until the public opinion has been brewing for several days.
at every turn."
"so……"
Dodgson looked at Xia blankly, as if he was meeting his daughter for the first time.
Dodgson said as he took off the magnetic nameplate on his chest.
The factory has not been smashed, and there are no gunfights in the streets - the Tianen Group has not dispatched its execution department, nor has it dispatched a group of pilots or heavily armed soldiers. Even the angels who cannot tolerate sand in their eyes have not yet entered the scene. Five days plus
More than 20 people died, which does not seem to be much if you look at this number alone... But in the various video links, clips, pictures, and news that have been repeatedly pasted and reposted by netizens, there is brewing a growing frenzy and anxiety.
and hatred.
He seriously and solemnly placed it on Xia's chest. Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it on it, activating it with his director's authority and confirming the transfer of authority.
And now...
"Don't think too much, and don't be stressed..."
"…So, as a member of your immediate family, do I also need to remain silent?"
Xia Xia looked at the many confirmation windows that kept popping up in front of her eyes, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Dodgson said calmly: "As long as you give them a sense of security, they will forget in a blink of an eye this kind of virtual hatred that they want to kill each other's whole family through the Internet, and they will also forget their own mood at the moment and the views they support. Look at that
Little brother... Even though he can be pushed and cursed by others, no one will come to beat him, let alone kill him, right?
"After all, this incident has been brewing for five days now. The total number of people who have died as a result of this incident is less than twenty... There are 40 million people in Happy Island. That is, the Fuji Community is now
Bai became a regular employee. If it had been in the past, the mercenaries would have killed twice as many people in one night without any quarrels or disputes. Do you think this would be a major event that would make the board of directors fall into silence?"
"In that case, how can I criticize others?"
When he said this, he looked at Xia seriously: "The truth is this -
Xia said seriously: "I won't let you down...Dad."
"But if the cost of all this is to put my father in danger... I can't do this.
Do things smarter? She no longer needs to be reminded like this.
The orange cat suddenly thought.
"People's stupidity can be tolerated because they know nothing and can't do anything. But if the directors do something in it, they will pay the price. And the most important thing is... huge
The dragon has not come back for a long time. None of us know what is wrong in the dragon's concept; we don't even know how the dragon will punish people who have done something wrong. Everything is the same
fan.
Xia sighed: "But I will also grow... Dad. They have no social obligation to stand up, and no one can ask them. They must ignore danger and sacrifice their lives for the sake of morality and truth. Then I
How can we accuse them of standing idly by? If they don't get involved, they have already helped us.
"To put it bluntly, even if it is just to appease the people, the Seven Islands will not let them starve. This is easy for the Seven Giants."
"In the final analysis, I am not smarter, more rational, or superior than them. It's just because I have a higher status, so I have access to more intelligence and secrets. If I had the same background as them, I'm afraid I would be the same person today.
There will be even more panic.
Xia confirmed with some reluctance.
Xia asked seriously: "Can you tell me? What is your bottom line here?
"Speaking selfishly - although I want to make people wake up and prevent them from regretting the stupid things they have done now, or make mistakes, and break the pot under the torture of guilt; I also want to save Mark who dares to speak out
Smart people who are brave and courageous, because they will be the backbone of mankind in the future.
Xia nodded reluctantly, but she could only admit it.
After Dodgson called her Fredricka for the first time in a long time, she also called her dad for the first time in a long time.
"It's just biogas produced by the fermentation of second-hand feces - it looks like it will explode once it explodes, but in fact it's gone after it explodes once."
Dodgson gave a meaningless hum. He hesitated for a long time and thought about it again and again.
"--No."
Director Dodgson's faint smile was covered with a layer of bitterness and sadness. But at the same time, there was also a sense of pride and joy, as well as a feeling of sadness after watching a certain long play.
He even felt troubled and powerless.
"Then leave it to me."
"——It's not bad not to do it. This is not an order from the board of directors, but an admonition or a notice. Sai Lun tells us that we must not do something we shouldn't do at this time. Once the dragon is angered, or the dragon is disturbed,
If you think you are incompetent... then it is not a matter of 'paid retirement'."
Dad is proud of you? She has already been my pride.
"...you have grown up."
Dodgson shook his head: "Because people don't realize what the concept of 'scarcity of resources' actually is. Thirty percent of people think that beef is grown in supermarkets, and 40% of people think that beef is synthesized from factories in the lower city."
On the island, they actually don't understand what 'resources' are at all. They simply understand it as 'they are going to starve to death'... But in fact, even if the resources are really exhausted, they will not starve to death.
After all, Dodgson didn't really want to be a director. He only took this position because he felt he could do something and change something.
Dodgson gave Xia the maximum authority in all areas that she could give. This meant that, in addition to lacking her own connections and the trust of her subordinates, she only relied on authority and power.
Said, she is roughly equivalent to Director Dodgson at this moment.
But she is so brave...
However, Dodgson seriously refused.
"Thoth Spirit Energy has long mastered the solar synthesis technology, and Sogo Group has their fully automatic hydroponic farm technology. Resources refer to more serious things...the future of this world. Rather than daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation
concept.
"The status of elves, the establishment of companies, the unwritten customary laws...as well as those stupid and backward airships, and the erasure of the concept of 'written records of the past' are all because of the dragon's requirements.
Do you want to trust your companions and the people? In this regard, she might do a better job than herself.
Every authorization of power by the human directors of the Seven Giants must be reported to the elf directors on the board of directors. Although the chairman will basically not refuse, each director has more or less authorized one in private.
Twice, but apparently private authorization is not allowed. This is also a protection for human directors.
But if Xia can get her achievements recognized by the dragon or the board of directors during this period... she may also have a chance to take over Dodgson's position.
Dodgson, however, slowly sat down and collapsed on the bed as if he was relieved.
"Just do what you want to do," he said softly, "If even eliminating rumors, maintaining order, and upholding justice are wrong... then let Long be the judge of punishment.
"Now, this matter has alarmed the dragons. They plan to return to the Seven Islands to review the company - or in other words, the board of directors.
He sighed in a low voice, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly complicated.
Thinking of this, Dodgson finally knew what kind of advice he could give her.
So as a father, he spoke with utmost seriousness and gave what he could...the final warning:
"——No matter what, stay safe. I love you."
"I love you too, Dad."
