End point on the basement floor of the old building of the Thors Military Academy
The arrival of the strong white-haired old man and the blond young man made the purple-haired girl look away from the book in her hand.
"President Van Dyke, and Ogua. Are you here specifically to see the test progress of the special class? It will take quite a while before they arrive here. It will probably take a while."
"No, we came here specifically to find you." Oribatt said with a smile.
"I remember that the women's college also has an opening ceremony in the morning. As the music teacher there, you have an obligation to be there. You will come to Tolista in the afternoon... It's really hard for you to run both ways to catch up."
"This and that are two different things. After all, I am also the chairman of the board of directors of Thorz. It is normal to come here to take a look when you have time." Oribat replied in a relaxed tone.
"Haha, your relationship is really good. Lingjun, the conversation this morning was very insightful. We might as well continue the previous topic." Dean Van Dyke interrupted at this time.
"I want to say sorry. I said too much on a whim this morning. Those are just my opinions on paper. Besides, I am not a professor of sociology, but a professor of mathematics. The dean and Director Henry
Wouldn’t it be better to talk about these topics?”
"No, it's hard for Henry to break away from his position. After all, he has the title of baron. I'm not saying that he is conservative. As an instructor, he is actually very good. It's just that he is limited to his position and is far away from the political center of the empire.
So he is still unaware of some of the undercurrents lurking beneath the surface."
It is clear that Dean Van Dyck himself is a noble with a higher title, but he was also an honorary marshal of the Imperial Army before he concurrently served as Thorz's dean. His perspective on things is completely different from that of academic instructors.
"And don't you think? Compared with the main school building where all the influencers are everywhere, the deserted old school building is a better place to talk. It would be good to bring a table over and use it as a common meeting room for the few of us in the future."
Oribat is quite vigilant, not only because of the relationship between the aristocracy and the reformist faction, but also a sense of vigilance to prevent problems before they happen?
"I probably understand what you mean. I am standing here not only as an instructor at the Thors Military Academy, but also as a senior staff member of the eldest prince of the Erebonia Empire, Oribat Lezeyanor. So.
Say, is the dean also on our side?"
Ling looked at Olibat and also at Van Dyke.
"Teacher Van Dyke basically knows everything about me. And many of the things I know I heard directly from the teacher. Although the teacher has a teacher's position on the table, he must remain impartial and neutral and cannot take sides.
Either way. But privately, Ling, you can think that the teacher is on the same side as us."
"Haha, this is what is called being born out of one's own hands. But my hope that this country will be better tomorrow is absolutely true! It's not because of my noble status, nor my loyalty to the Anor royal family. The Erebonian Empire
It is the place where I was born, grew up, protected and fought for all my life. Although I am not young anymore, I do not intend to accept old age." Van Dyke's words can be regarded as explaining to Ling his principles of action and
Behavioral stance.
As a soldier who has spent his whole life guarding the country, the extent to which he identifies with his own life will be the extent to which his patriotism for this country becomes real.
As an outsider, even if Ling cannot experience this emotion personally, she can understand it to some extent.
"The issues I talked about earlier this morning about civilians, that is, the political rights of ordinary citizens and farmers... In fact, neither the palace nor the local government took them seriously. However, what happened on the land of neighboring Kalvad
Lessons tell us that it is very dangerous for the country to ignore the demands of the lower class people who make up the vast majority of the country’s population.”
Although Van Dyck still considered the issue from the standpoint of the ruler and did not treat the lower class people as human beings like himself, at least he did not directly ignore their existence like most nobles.
Besides, Ling is not a holy mother. She actually doesn’t hate this view of population purely as numbers. At least this way, many decisions can be made much more convenient. What does everyone think? Who cares. "Flash"
The "Trajectory" tetralogy has nothing to do with ordinary citizens and peasants. This is also due to the fact that under the imperial feudal system, most people are not regarded as citizens with political rights.
In fact, the real common people in the empire will not provoke the nobles like "Maya
Son, in fact, has nothing to do with the common people. Ling hypothesized that if the history of the earth is used as a reference, it is actually a confrontation between the new capitalism and the traditional aristocratic class.
Perhaps only the free, democratic and equal Crossbell in the world will consider human rights at the level of ethics and morality. However, the fact is that the public security in Crossbell is worse than that of the Empire and the Republic. Even if this is intentional by the two major powers,
Sometimes people just look at the results.
"To get back to the subject, I don't have too many thoughts about this. I am a child of a landlord. According to the social class classification I mentioned before, strictly speaking, I am not a 'commoner'. Let's talk about our new students in Thors
Very few of them are from rural areas. There seem to be only two people in Class 5 this year? From my point of view, even if we continue to discuss this topic, it is just empty talk."
She was born into a landowning family in the southern part of the state of Chasarante. This was a disguise Ling made when she entered Torz five years ago. This information is still recorded in her personnel file.
"Further intensifying the opposition between the reformists and the aristocrats, and the small and medium-sized factions are forced to take sides in this upcoming struggle. I don't know what Gillias's purpose is, but I seem to have smelled the smoke of the battlefield.
Taste." Van Dyke suddenly mentioned something completely unrelated to the previous topic.
"Teacher, now is the era of guided weapons. There is no smoke on the battlefield anymore." Oribat complained, which also slightly eased the tension caused by the topic.
"You kid, don't interrupt." Van Dyke glanced at Olibat beside him and continued to say to Ling, "You can go ahead and do the special class thing. I have a hunch that before that day actually comes, maybe
There are also things that outsiders like us can do. Although I have retired, I am still a bit weak in the army, whether it is Sykes of the 3rd Mecha Division or Olaf of the 4th Mecha Division, or
I will be responsible for settling the other generals for you. Not only to see clearly Gillias's intentions, we can set our goals higher. Even if we cannot become the cornerstone of the world as Emperor Drakels expected,
You can also try to understand what this empire is all about, and use this as a purpose for launching special internships in the future?"
The Thors Military Academy has a very delicate position in the imperial military system. Seventeen of the current generals of the nineteen mecha divisions were once graduates of Thors. Although they are not necessarily Van Dyke.
students, but they all have an indissoluble bond with this school with a special status. There are many things that can be accomplished from the position of the dean.
"Understand what the empire is about... This task is not very difficult. Principal, are you serious? With just such a small team?" Of course Ling has also seriously thought about how to be an instructor. Original work Risa
What did La do when she was an instructor? This is very confusing. It feels like she was messing around in the Military Academy... In Ling's original plan, the instructor was to give the students questions and then provide help when necessary
Needless to say, math classes, even special classes, are arranged in this way. She still has her science experiments to do, but she doesn’t plan to spend all her time playing house with Ogua.
Above.
"Angelica, George, Tova, and Crowe each have their own backgrounds, but they are all great children. Their future is very exciting. Perhaps there are questions we cannot find answers to during our discussion.
, they can help us find the answer.”
Whether it is the hidden parts of George or Crowe, the dean seems to have not discovered it yet, but Ling has no intention of exposing this.
"President, you seem to have forgotten that I am also a 'child' of the same age as them." Even in terms of the age she pretended to be, Ling was born in 1185, and is considered to be born in the same year as the four.
"Isn't that better? Even if something happens during the special internship, I will be responsible for it. So, can I ask you? Lead the young eagles to see with your own eyes the real world in the empire.
Looks like." After hearing Van Dyke's serious request, Ling decided to give it some thought.
"To be honest, this is a bit beyond my ability. I will do my best, but don't have any unrealistic expectations of me."
"Haha, there is no need to be modest. We who are aware of your strength as the one who drafted the "No War Pact" may be able to bring a completely different future to the empire. Teacher, he only gave this task to you because he has confidence in you.
Yours." Olibat said with a hearty laugh.
"What Ogua said is none of your business. Aren't you the one who left the special class to me?" Ling glared at Oribat.
"Anyway, I'll leave this troublesome matter to you. I will arrange for you to meet with all the directors in a few days. Executive Director Irina Linefort Needless to say, she used to work at Lineforte Group
You should be very familiar with her. And regardless of their respective positions, Executive Director Karl Regnitz, who serves as the governor of the imperial capital, and Executive Director Rufus Elbarea, the son of Kruchin State, are also very good people.
.It will be much easier to get their help during the special internships carried out by special classes in the future."
Both of them mentioned this, Ling nodded with difficulty and agreed.
Watching the president and chairman leave, Ling let out a long sigh. What happened to the empire? Who knows this kind of thing? Either he is overflowing with patriotism, or only people who have nothing to do think about these profound and difficult things.
The problem.
She has always been busy and seems to have never really thought about this problem. After solving the basic survival problems, her hobbies have always been martial arts training and research, rather than worrying about others. She has a sense of alienation from beginning to end.
, how is this world, how is this country, how is this society, what does it have to do with her? Can she really be a suitable leader like this?
Forget it, don’t think about it so much now. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Let’s take it one step at a time.
