Chapter 115 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
"Plato's soldiers need to recuperate and recuperate. Our system will not allow people with ordinary genes to enter the military system. The war with Gaia is getting more intense, and the number of the old military class has been decreasing." A black-haired woman in charge of civil affairs spoke up.
, "Although Logos will select the second generation of Gaia prisoners of war to supplement, it is always a pity... We hope that within three years, Plato's population can increase by 150 million people."
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole audience started whispering again.
All walks of life have different opinions on this matter. They discussed it for two days in a row, but no decision was made.
On the third day, the "Three Elders" were summoned by Emperor Plato to the Izhadiya Hall deep in the Forbidden Palace to give instructions.
In such a magnificent starry sky hall, these three people are like tiny ants. They need to kneel on the ground and listen quietly. Plato, who preached equality, faced the status of a saint, and extreme inequality appeared again, like an intriguing extreme.
Contradiction.
"With the well-being of all people in mind, peace is needed among human beings."
That extremely old voice sounded softly in the main hall again, coming out from behind the curtain on the high steps. The sound effect of Izhadiya Hall is excellent, and very soft sounds can be conveyed clearly and instantly.
"But the Gaians need to pay a higher price, because this is the peace they beg for, and they have to endure a heavy yoke." This old metallic voice revealed a coldness, as if it revealed a kind of heart that has experienced all the vicissitudes of life.
A sense of coldness.
The Saint put forward the additional conditions he wanted, including disarmament of the Gaia space fleet, reduction of huge military expenditures, provision of the latest research on weapon designs to the Platons, etc. Only by agreeing to such harsh contract conditions can Gaia enjoy a three-year peace period.
.
"May the Most High God grant you victory and the rotation of light, and may it be with you forever."
The emperor raised his right hand noblely, making a blessing gesture as the Pope of Yuanjiao, which actually hinted that the courtiers could retire.
"Praise our Holy One, the Holy One in the world, Ami!"
The three elders immediately praised in unison and threw themselves on the cold, mirror-like marble floor.
The saint stood up from the holy seat, and his tall figure flashed past the light curtain.
It’s as crisp and clear as a combat meeting.
The three senior officials in black cloaks stood up from the ground only after the surroundings fell into complete silence. They were silent for a while, looked at each other, and communicated tacitly.
When the three of them just stepped out of the Izhadiya Hall and walked in front of the long white stairs, a large group of transforming fighter jets flying in formation flew through the blue sky at an atmospheric speed close to Mach 10, dropping in front of everyone.
the fleeting shadow.
"This is the daily training and patrol of the Forbidden Army's 'Undead Army'."
Privy Councilor Xuanyuan Zeng's attendant waiting outside was an artificial intelligence official robot. The streamlined lines of its body looked very space-like. It scanned it and immediately told the truth.
"Our emperor is a military leader, a power-hungry and ruthless military leader!" The upright Xuanyuan Zeng immediately became angry, "Do we still need to wear a cloak to hide his human origin? I think he will soon.
Turn the Senate into the imperial court and treat us as real ministers and slaves!"
"Shh!" The lithe Uza immediately put his long, dark fingers in front of his mouth, "He knows everything and monitors everything."
"The most dangerous place is the safest, but he won't spy on himself." Xuanyuan Zeng still looked around cautiously. It was too open and there was almost nothing.
"Be patient! Time is on our side." The Prime Minister with the highest status said, "He will abdicate in three years, and we are all much younger than him."
"We are still too young and careless..." Xuanyuan Zeng said with a heavy tone, "He quietly controlled the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Thirteenth Fleet 'Pontu' and the Fourteenth Fleet 'Hohenstaufen', and also established
He has infiltrated the 'Immortal Army', the forbidden army directly under his jurisdiction, and now even the Military Privy Council has been infiltrated. He summons Ahir very frequently, and Ahir is not one of ours."
"He is a master of tactics. There has never been an emperor in Plato's 400 years. Everyone else can stay safe in the Holy of Holies, so why can't he? An old man who is about to abdicate wants to meddle in worldly affairs all day long..." Chengfu was deeply satisfied.
Vettel finally spoke his inner thoughts after making sure no one heard him.
"This place is like heaven. What's wrong with being a living god? We can let him enjoy all the fun and happiness that can be enjoyed in the world, and no one will know. Why must we use military power?"
On the huge and spacious white steps, three Platonic officials wearing black cloaks stood silently.
The saint is turning the illusory supreme power into real imperial power, which will break the delicate balance of power.
This is an abyss-like hidden danger. The caste system makes ordinary Plato people content with their lives and jobs and know nothing about politics. However, they feel deeply worried as they are closest to the supreme power.
The next three years will be a critical three years for Plato's politics, and all conflicts will break out until the new emperor can comply with the old rules and live in seclusion in the palace again.
"Peace is of course a good thing. Military generals like me who are from the front line want peace in the world the most."
The next day, with a heavy defense force in hand, Ahil's attitude also changed 180 degrees. It was obvious that the saint had given him an order.
As soon as the personable former Grand Master finished speaking, other senior officials who were promoted from the White Tiger Knights to the Military Privy Council also agreed.
Under the pressure of the "Holy of Holies", Plato's Senate passed the peace request of the coalition government with Gaia.
But when the heavily coded peace agreement returned to the "Star Palace", the Gaians were stunned.
"In addition to the above requirements, there are additional conditions..." The female consultant who likes to wear professional attire and has black hair combed in a bun continued cautiously.
Instead of signing and exchanging peace agreements on an equal footing, they sent diplomatic missions and troops to the Tower of Babel in Star City to sign a peace treaty..."
"In other words, the Platonists asked to sign a real alliance with us." After the neurotic female consultant finished explaining, she then stared at all the senior officials in front of her with wide eyes.
Everyone started whispering.
"It's such a shame to seek peace from interstellar cultists!" General Crowley, Gaia's chief of staff, showed a painful expression.
A Chinese think tank next to President He Meili shook his head and sighed: "It is even more shameful than the Chanyuan Alliance, and comparable to the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties."
All eyes were focused on the female president, and her dark olive face was shining with thought.
"For such a big matter, I can only approve it after discussion in Congress."
She said something very calmly and kicked the ball of power away.
After learning all the contents of the Platonic Contract, in the "People's Hall" behind the golden door, the Senate and the Senate almost exploded, and the atmosphere entered a state of intense war.
"Except for Plato's prisoners of war, no Plato fleet has entered the Star City in 400 years! They actually want to enter the city peacefully! This is an insult to all of us Gaians!" A red-haired young councilor seemed impassioned, "The City of the Star is the largest city in the universe.
The prosperous Queen City, the Mother City built with the sweat and blood of all Gaians!"
"Yes! This is simply a disgrace and unacceptable!" A senator of East Asian descent seemed indignant, "Our Gaia fleet can sweep across tens of millions of light years, let's keep fighting!"
The congressmen on the side all agreed.
These are all members of Gaia's extremely militant black party, a small political party supported by many young people and militants.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of four more fleets being annihilated? How poor are the people at the bottom now? You are still dreaming of the stars and the sea." A female congresswoman from the Red Party made a fierce protest.
"People's livelihood is the most important thing. You just talk and won't go to the front line yourself."
"People's livelihood, people's livelihood, welfare, welfare! You red party are just a bunch of worms who only know how to take welfare and wait for death, but don't know how to shoulder social responsibilities!" The red-haired male congressman of the black party was obviously angry, "If the Plato people really call me,
, I will definitely go to the front line and keep my word! You are just a moth in my eyes!"
"Shut up! You are only insulting people!" A fat female congresswoman from the Red Party on the other side also became excited.
"I say calm down, we must admit the superiority of Plato's system." A decent Green Party member on the other side made a "reasonable guest" gesture, "They can do whatever they want in the Kshatriyas without considering any economic costs.
The Lebanese class is violently attacking, and we need a military budget, which we can’t compare with... I think President Harry is still very forward-looking. She must start with a stable start and just treat it as a humiliation."
"The price of this crotch humiliation is too high!" A member of the Blue Party, who was meticulously dressed, made a very sarcastic expression, "Our coalition government has been fighting those vegetarian demons for 600 years.
It’s such a shame.”
"Sometimes, face and interests conflict. As long as we maintain economic growth, Star City will still be a city of wealth." A female congresswoman from the Green Party said tit for tat.
"Ha, who ever said that morality comes first and economics is not important..."
Just as the blue and green parties were bickering, a conflict suddenly broke out between the more extreme red and black parties on the other side.
"Hitting someone!" a female member of the Red Party screamed, and all the male members of the Red Party rushed over and started fighting with the young Black Party member.
This group of congressmen, with an average age of about 40 years old, is unambiguous in their actions. Even Ms. Gaia has the courage to match the bravery of a woman. The three-dimensional tailoring clothes they wear show a strange beauty as they pull against each other.
A brand-name shoe flew out and a pearl necklace was torn off, which seemed to be an interesting portrayal of the divided political opinions of mankind.
They kept shouting, pushing and cursing fiercely. They had long forgotten the war with the Platonists, and only saw the ugly faces of their political enemies in front of them.
Above their heads are various golden and red five-pointed stars shining.
"It's so embarrassing, so disgraceful! This group of Gaia civilian politicians makes people question the nature of democratic politics." Xuanji looked at the political news pushed by her wristband. Another fierce conflict broke out in the Gaia Congress. She frowned deeply.
Sigh.
She is currently on standby at the 32nd Military Base with a small team of flying mercenaries. Politicians are arguing and fighting in front of the stage, but the War Department has already prepared for war. Just wait for an order, and she will go 7,500 light years away.
We fought at the Keto base.
Now, the 21st Squadron of the 6th Ranger Regiment to which she belongs is having dinner in the soldiers’ cafeteria of the military base.
Although their work is very dangerous, the mercenaries who come to work as mercenaries are all bold and reckless, so they are still very noisy. These young space mercenaries huddle together and eat happily.
"It is said that a peace agreement is to be signed..." A mercenary with a handsome face and a sturdy back began his daily political analysis.
Every Gaian person turned into a civilian politician in an emergency, and everyone began to care about politics, because it affects everyone's destiny, especially frontline soldiers.
"But Plato's fleet is coming, and it is said that the White Tiger Knights fleet that massacred Messier's base has also entered Manxing City. This is too weird... The boss won't agree, and I can't let go of this face. I think it's better to use the trick and bring them in and set up a trap.
Trap, close the door and beat the dog!"
Everyone burst into laughter and cheered: "Haha! Go and fight!"
"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to the arrival of the White Tiger Knights. We are fighting against the Platons, but we can't see the other side's true glory at all. I heard that the White Tiger Knights are very handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes like angels." A female soldier said intoxicated.
status.
"I'm blond too!" Mike, an Irishman on the side, shouted, making a teasing look.
"Go away, you ugly bitch!"
Xuanji immersed herself in eating the vegetarian meal, the mercenaries were so random and rough.
"A while ago, Xuanji dated a White Tiger knight with a military rank of general. They ate together every day and it was a good talk in the canteen of the Ministry of War." I don't know who said it.
Xuanji immediately became stunned as if the pause button had been pressed.
"Wow! Xuanji is going to be the general's wife! I'll go!"
"The beautiful woman finally flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix!"
There was a deliberate exclamation from everyone, and a wave of malicious ridicule rushed towards her.
"We have broken up, don't mention it again." She regained her composure and said coldly.
"Ha, I got fucked and the man ran away!" Mike's words caused another burst of random and unrestrained laughter.
She stood up "Ouch" and was so angry that her hair stood on end.
If he had not fought in the base, he would have been imprisoned for a week, so she threw a dinner plate at him.
"Next time you are targeted by the Plato fighter, I will not rescue you again!" Xuanji said condescendingly, with an attitude as calm as a boy.
The obscene smile on Mike's face slowly disappeared.
Xuanji is a strange and unsocial girl with a very low military rank, but her flying and combat skills are the best in the entire squadron, and her combativeness and bravery are almost unmatched.
She casually handed the half-eaten vegetarian plate to the little restaurant robot that collected the plates, and left alone.
