Chapter 2700 Inference
After hearing that the history teacher was trying to sow discord between the EVA pilot and Neuron, Misato Katsuragi immediately suspected that the other party was an undercover spy.
What was his purpose, who instructed him, what was his motive, did he get permission from the relevant departments, did they allow the history teacher to talk nonsense like this? Who was behind it, what did he want to do, who did he want to satirize, who did he want to subvert, what did he want to destroy, what did he want to insinuate?
This was no joke, because Misato Katsuragi knew that although Seele and Neuron were fighting against the apostles, there were many spies undercover, mainly because of the budget and technology dispute.
For example, the Self-Defense Forces and Neuron were not on good terms. Before the apostles attacked, the Self-Defense Forces even took out the N2 bombs, just because they didn't want to give Neuron a chance to attack. If it weren't for the fact that the apostles' AT position could only be defeated by the AT position, the Self-Defense Forces would not have released the command to Neuron at all.
There are also some arms companies that covet EVA's technology, so they want to steal technology. Of course, there are also simple conspiracy theorists who don't believe in Seele, so they are always looking for trouble. These two types will also plant spies in Neuron.
From this, we can see that Seele is not all-powerful on Earth. In fact, there are still many forces that do not agree with Seele. It is only because Seele first mastered the AT force field technology that it is able to suppress all forces on Earth.
Seele is more like a religion. They cannot control everything, but they have neuron branches and production bases in countries around the world. They assist countries in defending against apostles. But their plans have never been communicated to the ruling groups of various countries, nor have they been informed of the chaebols and warlords around the world.
Seele only fights for humanity on the surface, and the conspiracy behind the scenes has never been exposed.
Seele not only masters the powerful technology of EVA, but also masters the great cause of saving humanity. Governments of various countries can only give funds and materials. But the budgets of various countries are fixed. If Seele takes part of it, other departments will have to take less, such as the budgets of the military of various countries will be reduced, so they will naturally be unhappy with Seele.
So Misato Katsuragi knows that even if the job of the neuron is to protect humans, there are still some humans who are dragging their feet, and the ways of dragging their feet are varied.
Some are holding back on resources, some are holding back on money, some are using the excuse of rectification and inspection, and some are trying to spy on secrets. There are all kinds of reasons. So it is possible that someone may take a different approach and not start with the neurons, but go to the drivers to sow discord and disrupt the operation of the neurons.
They can't just ignore it, so they immediately call on Seele's security forces to set off.
Having a security force means that Seele has long been out of the control of various countries. Not only does it have EVA, but it also has its own troops. No wonder the military of various countries is wary of them, because Seele is too scary, with advanced technology, sufficient military strength, money, and the righteousness of protecting mankind. If they raise their arms, the traditional military may be replaced by then, and even traditional countries will be killed by Seele. It's just that now there are enemies like the apostles. As the only force that can fight against the apostles, countries have to give Seele face.
The security team set out for the school. On the way, Misato Katsuragi first investigated Duran's household registration and found that this person was from abroad: "A foreigner teaches island country history?" It's really funny. Even if a large number of residents moved out of the Third New Tokyo City because of the attack of the apostles, it would not be reduced to the point where foreigners are needed to teach island country history.
A few days ago, the apostles attacked and directly entered the city. Although the Third New Tokyo City is a fortified city, it was tossed by the apostles and there were also a large number of casualties. Now there are a lot of rumors. It is said that this apostle is just the beginning, and there will be more apostles to come, so those who have the conditions will move away directly. Those who stay have nowhere to go, so they can only let nature take its course.
"Very strange." Misato Katsuragi became more and more suspicious.
When they arrived at the school, the heroic and valiant sister came directly to the faculty office with a group of security guards in black clothes.
The teachers all found that the other party was not a good person.
"Who is Duran?"
"I am."
When Duran stood up, Misato Katsuragi looked up and down, and there was nothing special about him. He was very ordinary. But she would not be careless. She introduced herself as Misato Katsuragi of Neuron and invited Duran to the conference room to talk.
Duran naturally did not mind.
When they arrived at the conference room and the door was closed, Misato Katsuragi began to ask questions, and asked directly: "Did you tell Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami in history class that they would be abandoned by Neuron?"
"Yes, if they fail, won't they be abandoned?" "Just like the invading army in World War II, when they won, everyone regarded them as relatives, and when they lost the war, they were the culprits of all suffering. The same is true for Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami. If they won, they would not get enough rewards, but once they lost, they would be ruthlessly abandoned." Duran said.
This guy is really bold, Misato Katsuragi asked sternly: "What is your purpose?"
"I am a history teacher, and I have the obligation to teach children to realize that they have been born in history. Your style of behavior is feudal, with technology monopoly and intelligence monopoly. Although you all have military ranks, you have a command system independent of the Ministry of Defense. You do not obey the country, but obey Seele. Isn't it the separatist regimes in ancient times? The Third New Tokyo City is a feudal territory in the feudal era, and you neurons can cover the sky with one hand here. You say it is to protect humans, but your actions are really confusing. Since it is such a fair and upright thing to protect humans, why are there so many secrets? I can't tell you this, I can't tell you that. Who knows if you are enriching yourself and expanding your power in the process of protecting humans? After the apostles are eliminated, the neurons of various countries may form the separatist forces of various warlords. If you like history, you will know that this kind of thing is not uncommon." Duran used history as a blueprint to guess the result.
Even if humans did not turn into orange juice in the end, the neurons of various countries would definitely become warlords and clash with the military of various countries.
"You are delusional." Misato Katsuragi thinks that Duran may not have any power behind him, but he has become stupid because of studying history, and everything he sees seems to be a conspiracy.
"This is the trend of history. History is like a river, which will always flow to the sea. Although the river will turn in the process, and the flow speed is slow in some places and fast in some places, no matter how fast or slow it is, it cannot change the trend of the river. In the end, the river water will reach the sea. History is the same. History is wonderful. Sometimes it is prosperous, and sometimes it is declining. But overall, the trend of history is that the improvement of productivity makes more people awaken and join the game of distribution. The trend of history is actually the evolution of the distribution method, that is, everyone is integrated into one." "So you should do some capitalist things. The feudal system is too outdated." Duran said that it would be better for Seele and the island country to do some capitalism than the current feudal system of standing on the altar.
Misato Katsuragi found that in the eyes of the other party, Seele, who was responsible for protecting mankind, was a sharp turn to slow down the river to the sea, which greatly slowed down the progress of history and was a backward feudal system.
I didn't expect such an evaluation. I have to say that Katsuragi Misato felt a little uncomfortable, but she responded from the perspective of the historical trend, so I can't say he was wrong, I can only say he was crazy.
If we observe Seele based on the feudal system, we will find that Seele is capable of betraying pilots and betraying humans. Because Seele's interests are not consistent with the interests of all mankind, just like the interests of the nobles and the interests of the country are inconsistent.
Under the feudal system, the interests of the nobles and the country are not consistent, and the nobles will protect their own interests before protecting the interests of the country. So when the interests of Seele and all mankind conflict, Seele will also prioritize protecting its own interests, not the interests of all mankind. So Seele only does things that are good for himself and the people in the middle of the altar, so he needs to hide and act with conspiracy.
If it is really for the protection of all mankind, there is no need for conspiracy at all. Because the so-called conspiracy is to seize benefits from others, not to help others gain benefits. Protecting humans should be a matter of helping humans gain benefits, which is fundamentally different from conspiracy, but Seele has combined the two, so it is certain that they want to seize benefits from humans.
