Chapter 424 Mental Breakdown
It has to be said that at this moment, the two Shepards were completely confused when faced with Duanmu Huai's operation.
Although it is a serious topic, you are too serious...
In contrast, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm. This was his original decision. After all, the Star Alliance and the Tribunal believed that the Upper Realm Galaxy was mainly about minerals, and the minerals would not be destroyed, so he could directly issue an extermination order. Purify all the planets in the World God Galaxy, leaving only a few enough for the Star Alliance to colonize.
To the Inquisition, all xenos deserve death.
But for the Shepard siblings, who were born in the military, this was... a different story.
"Uh... Do we really want to do this? Your Majesty the Inquisitor? Launch an extermination order to purify the entire planet... There are innocent civilians on it..."
His younger brother Shepard raised his question uneasily, while Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"You should know the purpose of the Tribunal. Our targets are demons, aliens and heretics. For us, as long as it belongs to these three, it is directly purified, and there will be no other choice. Frankly speaking, if we had not considered digging Mine, I’ll just wipe out the entire World God Galaxy, it’s easier and there’s no need to waste time.”
"Well……………"
In fact, even if Duanmu Huai doesn't let them choose, the worst he can do is purify all the planets, and then ask Dardaniel to send people to build a few atmosphere modification devices, format everything, and start over. Wouldn't it be more convenient?
"But will this give other races a bad impression of humans..."
"The reason why a rabbit is docile is that it cannot resist and can only act cute. There is no room for two tigers in a mountain. If humans want to establish their position in the universe, they must be more ruthless. A woman's kindness can't accomplish anything."
Duanmu Huai interrupted the other party's speech. He observed and saw that among the siblings, the elder sister Shepard seems to be more iron-blooded, while the younger brother Shepard pays more attention to order... Well, neither of them What a bad thing.
In fact, Duanmuhuai understood what his brother Shepard meant. He believed that doing so would keep other races away from humans. Obviously, his younger brother wanted to see the races in the universe unite.
But Duanmuhuai knows that facts have proven that people who are not our race will have different hearts. This is a bloody lesson that players have learned through history and their own experience in the game. Any race other than humans will not listen to humans. Look at the Prophet and Prothean as the best examples. The former is still an ally of humans. As a result, when fighting the Forerunners, the Prophet changed hands for the survival of his own race. Just sell humans.
The result was that humanity was wiped out by the Forerunners, and the Prophet became the Forerunners' lackey and managed to survive.
The same goes for the Protheans. They were still a vassal race of the empire. Once the empire was over, they immediately became kings without tigers or monkeys in the mountains.
Anything that involves the survival of a race must be directed towards one's own race.
People like the rapist doctor from Pandora are in the minority.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai has never thought about uniting other races - the ideological and factional disputes between humans may still be bridged, but the gap between races can never be bridged.
Just like you cannot convince a tiger to become a vegetarian or a rabbit to eat meat, objective reality cannot be changed by subjective will. The failure of Imperial Truth is a lesson learned from the past.
So Duanmu Huai didn't even think about establishing good relations with other alien races. After all, he also knew that in a few years the reapers would come back to cut leeks, and by then the civilizations of other alien races would have died. All he needs to do is protect human beings, so that other alien races will be wiped out without the Inquisition taking action, and as long as the Inquisition annihilates the Reapers next, it will be fine.
Not only did it protect humanity and eliminate aliens and heretics, it also established the Star Alliance's dominance in this galaxy in one fell swoop.
Kill three birds with one stone.
"………………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the two Shepard siblings stood in front of him obediently, not daring to breathe heavily. Duanmu Huai was sitting there, with a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
He actually understands that in many cases, peace is the mainstream public opinion. Everyone thinks that as long as the relationship between the two parties is good, there will be no problems. As long as we are as close as brothers, we can fight side by side. In fact, this is how it is played in many movies. We have different races, cultures, and habits, but we can fight side by side, and then laugh away our grudges... Haha, but that's just a movie!
Movies are fiction, history is real!
Using history as a mirror, we can understand the past and present!
In history, throughout the dynasties, have there been few marriages between barbarians and other races?
But can getting married solve the problem?
Of course not! When you are weak, will people still beat you and marry you? Friendship? That's all bullshit!
Only when the country is strong and the people are prosperous will all nations come to the court!
Once the country is weak and the people are in dire straits, there will be nothing but chaos and chaos in China!
This is true for a country, and so is a race!
Only when humans become stronger will other races bow down and be friendly to them.
And once humans weaken, all emotions will be fake, and aliens will only cause trouble to humans!
Therefore, for Duanmu Huai, he is not afraid that what he does will arouse the anger and fear of the aliens.
Thinking back to the Warring States Period and the Spring and Autumn Period, which of the six kingdoms didn't hate Qin with gnashing of teeth? What's the result?
The Qin State unified the world, not by friendship, but by enriching the country and strengthening the army!
In the struggle between countries and races, being too soft-hearted is hopeless. The friendliness you show is weakness in the eyes of other aliens.
"Choose."
Duanmu Huai stared at the two people in front of him indifferently.
"I know the purpose of your coming here on behalf of the Star Alliance, so the choice of the planet is left to you. Choose the one suitable for the Star Alliance to colonize, and the rest of the Inquisition will be purified."
"………………"
The younger brother Shepard wanted to say something else, but at this time the sister had already stepped forward, and then quickly selected several planets in the Jieshen galaxy, and also told Duanmu Huai why she chose these planets. Obviously, she also had an idea, so Duanmu Huai didn't say much, just nodded.
"Okay, you go back, just follow this, we will set off for the Jieshen galaxy tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Sister Shepard saluted, and then turned around and left with her brother.
"Sister, is it not good for us to do this?"
After returning to his warship, brother Shepard frowned and spoke with some uneasiness.
"The Jieshen galaxy is full of villains. The Inquisition's actions may make them share a common hatred of the enemy. We may be under great pressure at that time."
"Then we can just clean them up together."
Compared to her brother, the sister saw it more thoroughly. She shook her head and spoke.
"You also know that the Jieshen galaxy is full of villains. To them, we will only be their enemies. In any case, they will join forces to deal with us. In this case, we should let them see how powerful humans are and let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"
Hearing his sister's answer, the brother did not speak, but nodded silently.
Isn't he a soldier? Doesn't he want to show the glory of mankind? But compared with his sister, his attitude is more cautious. He originally hoped to show weakness to the enemy first, then let the other party underestimate the enemy, and then slowly take action. But Duanmu Huai is obviously tougher, and since his sister said so, he should just do what his sister said.
Duanmu Huai had no opinion on the Jieshen Galaxy War itself. In fact, that sister Shepard only chose three planets, and the reasons were very sufficient. One was located at the border between the Jieshen Galaxy and the current Star Alliance border. This place must be taken so that the Star Alliance can send more soldiers and colonial troops in the future.
Next is a colony planet located in the center of the Jieshen Galaxy. It radiates the entire Jieshen Galaxy. Therefore, if you want to control the Jieshen Galaxy, this planet is naturally indispensable. The last planet is located on the other side of the Jieshen Galaxy. It is like the mouth of a pocket. In other words, as long as this planet is occupied, the possibility of other forces entering the Jieshen Galaxy from here can be completely blocked.
As for the next step, it is only a matter of whether to push forward directly or to block the exit first and then catch the turtle in the jar.
"Huh..."
Duanmu Huai sighed, put down his thoughts, reached out and touched Ogis's little head, and then stood up to rest.
However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly heard a burst of laughter from outside, and then saw the door open, and then An and Maria and others surrounded Zhen Jiling and walked in.
"Mr. Knight! Mr. Knight! Zhen Jiling is popular! Very popular!"
"Oh? Really?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai also showed a smile. Of course, he knew that Zhen Jiling's [Superior Charm] must be useful, but he didn't expect it to be so useful!
And Zhen Jiling was also very excited and happy. She is an extrovert and is most suitable for this kind of communication. This live broadcast is also the same. Although the platform advertised her because of the order of Xinglian, it can retain so many viewers, which shows the strength of Zhen Jiling!
"Yes, Mr. Knight, at the beginning, when everyone came in and saw Zhen Jiling, there were still many people scolding her. We were scared to death at that time!"
Gu Leiya also nodded vigorously. They were also the first time to contact the profession of live broadcasting, so when Zhen Jiling was live, they were also watching from the side. At the beginning, they saw someone coming in and scolding Zhen Jiling, and they were also shocked. They didn't understand why someone would be so violent.
This is no wonder. After all, they have followed Duanmu Huai until today, and only now can they experience the modern network environment from Xinglian. Because it was an order from the Star Alliance, the platform must have tried its best to advertise, which of course made many people feel unhappy, and some people would have a rebellious mentality, thinking that a newcomer who had never heard of could actually get the support of the entire Star Alliance network, there must be something wrong.
So after the live broadcast started, many people came in to vent their anger without thinking about anything, which scared the girls watching the excitement next to them.
If it was Gu Leiya or Feilin, they would probably just go off the broadcast and shut themselves up on the spot.
However, Zhen Jiling is worthy of being [Superior Charm]. She didn't change her expression when facing the complaints or weirdness of these viewers, and chatted and greeted them with a smile. As a result, everyone found that the number of people watching the live broadcast not only did not decrease, but increased!
Of course, there was nothing special about Zhen Jiling's live broadcast. She just introduced herself to everyone, performed some songs and dances of the horse girl tribe for the audience, and then talked to everyone about daily topics such as how to put on makeup.
But... it was a big hit!
"How many people watched it?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up and asked.
"Five hundred million people!"
An hurriedly answered, and he was shocked when he said it.
Five hundred million people! That's hundreds of times more than the citizens of the entire country of Manalia! !
Even Duanmu Huai was shocked. Although he knew that the Star Alliance had already left the solar system, the population was probably at least tens of billions, but... 500 million people watched the first live broadcast...
It's worthy of superior charm.
It's really awesome.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also chatted with Zhen Jiling. He used to be a broadcaster and knew that online violence was really disgusting. Although Zhen Jiling was smiling now, he was also worried that Zhen Jiling would leave any psychological shadow.
However, Zhen Jiling was very calm about Duanmu Huai's worry, saying that she had encountered such things in the tribe before, and it was no big deal. As long as she had a good "talk" and let everyone recognize her cuteness, it would be fine.
By the way, is your talk physical or magical?
In short, seeing that Zhen Jiling was not affected too much, Duanmu Huai was relieved, and then encouraged her a few words, and then everyone left---Of course, An and Gu Leiya originally wanted to learn from Zhen Jiling to start a live broadcast, but they were scared and dared not do it again.
As for Feilin, she made up her mind.
What live broadcast? Isn't it more fun to watch the show by yourself?
"Hmm..."
After Zhen Jiling and others left, Duanmu Huai sat down again and thought for a moment, then he opened the terminal, connected to the Star Alliance network, and then found the live broadcast platform.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Jiling was able to retain 500 million viewers in her first live broadcast. He also wanted to try it. Now that he has added charm, how many viewers can he retain?
With the number of netizens in the Star Alliance, we can have at least 5,000 people, if not 500 million.
So Duanmu Huai also opened a live broadcast room called "A handsome man will take you through the universe", and then opened it triumphantly.
Then after a while, someone came in and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"Fuck, what kind of monster is this!"
[Half of the black man left the live broadcast room]
Then another one came.
"Oh my god, I'm watching a video late at night, how come I see a ghost!"
[The rap player who plays basketball left the live broadcast room]
Then the live broadcast interface in front of Duanmu Huai went black.
[Because the anchor violated the regulations and played the live broadcast content that caused discomfort, he is hereby banned]
"………………………………"
Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Duanmu Huai silently turned off the terminal,
Damn, I won't broadcast anymore! Tomorrow I'll go and kill those alien bastards in the Jieshen Galaxy to vent my anger!
