Chapter 734: Unfolding the Flag (a Small Update)
[Johnny: Want to crown yourself a new king? This guy is really interesting.]
Most books will talk about how people in various countries overthrew the feudal system, sent away the king, or divided the king's power, so that the nobles and kings could no longer do whatever they wanted, and power no longer flowed in the blood. It seemed that some people were born with Having power over other people.
Of course Christopher also knows these histories, and his educational level is actually higher than Johnny, an illiterate who doesn't know how to read.
He doesn't even just read more books than Johnny. His natural intelligence level, according to the standards of the cyberpunk world, is that his brain grooves are denser and deeper than Johnny's.
Because of this, he is well aware of the gap between himself, and even Latvia as a whole, and the outside world, let alone the gap with Lille:
Lille alone is far more important than the entire land of Latvia and the people living on it. It was he who brought opportunities to this land and broke the lifeless situation here.
People overthrow kings, overthrow slave owners, and even overthrow so-called capitalists, all based on the fact that the overthrowers are not only powerful, but also capable of building a better world. If there is only violence, society will still degenerate after the overthrow.
Because the gap between people is so big that even if Lille doesn't want to control them, or even wants to talk about equality with them, they will never be equal.
The most valuable thing about people is self-awareness. Johnny is an example of lack of self-awareness.
But Christopher is the opposite.
He knows why Lille emphasizes education level and knowledge reserve, but the gap lies here: everyone here, except for the passionate ones, is too far behind Lille.
It’s so big that even if Lille wants to let go of power like a saint who doesn’t care about power, there will still be various people filling the power vacuum. By that time, who can be sure that the person filling these gaps will be a better one? person?
There can be no better choice than Lille, so no matter who takes over, it is definitely better to let Lille directly control these powers.
For Christopher, the conclusion is as simple as it is counter-intuitive: a blind application of modern systems is not suitable for Latvia.
Once the Grand Duke of Latvia is overthrown, the literacy rate in this place will drop directly to the bottom level in the world, and the living standard will return to the Middle Ages.
The world situation does not allow Lille to improve the level here step by step. If high technology is used, it will definitely become the situation Christopher imagined.
These are things that Johnny cannot understand. In his opinion, the world will be better if it is free.
Does Lille know this?
Christopher didn't know, but he felt that Lille must have considered it, and he just wanted to express his thoughts.
“.We need a king, my situation in Latvia is different from any other country in history!
We need a king as strong, kind, calm, and wise as you. Just as there has never been a situation here, we also need a philosopher king who has never appeared. "
Lear looked into Christopher's eyes, his face not changing at all.
But he sighed secretly in his heart, because this is the fact: you can't expect a group of people who were living at the medieval level a second ago to stride directly into modern society after overthrowing the king, or even expect science, technology and humanistic ideas that surpass the level of modern society. Take it all in.
With brain-computer interface, the learning time will be greatly shortened, but it will take time after all.
Thinking of this, Lille withdrew his gaze and looked at the projection device on the wall:
"I can make my own judgment and tell you about the enemy's situation."
Even though Leal did not make any judgment on this and expressed his inner thoughts, Christopher felt physically and mentally comfortable.
Because no matter what, he felt that Lille must be thinking further.
No matter what, it must be a future worth dedicating their lives to.
"Our scouts received information that these armaments were most likely transported from the east and north. During this period, the combat intensity in the war zones around us has been reduced, and the enemy's influence is very strong."
"Weapons mainly include conventional military firearms - mainly AK gun series. These guns are simple to use and low cost."
"Other than that, it's just ordinary body armor and grenades."
"What worries me is that, considering the recent situation in neighboring countries, they may have secretly sent in professional mercenaries."
"These are conventional military forces. In addition, there is news that some metal giants have appeared under the Grand Duke, Vladimir."
Vladimir is also the Grand Duke of Latvia. The original title of this family was just a baron, but recently he suddenly became a grand duke. Maybe it was because of inflation, or maybe the brainless tyrant was promised this by those who supported him. Reward, after all he is now a Grand Duke.
As for the metal giant, according to the images sent back by the scout team, this is a land combat unit improved from the first version of "Death Warrior" and "Rhino Man". Each one has the combat capabilities of several main battle tanks and has a wide range of applications. Much broader.
Christopher's face turned gloomy: "According to our intelligence, in order not to make the EU sensitive, these modified equipment are shipped in one after another, and the people inside are all locals.
Most of them are Latvians who are unwilling to obey. "
[Johnny: By forcing the prosthetic body to transform, aren’t they afraid that the prosthetic body will lose control and the people inside will become cyberpsychotic? 】
This is where Marvel's villains are so powerful: the people inside are already cyber-psychopaths, but the control method they use can intercept the signals of the prosthetic user itself
Unlike the military technology of the Atlas Group, Roxxon and Hydra's individual armed technology is more inclined to completely mechanize humans, and only use the nervous system in their bodies to maintain the computing power required for the coordinated operation of equipment.
In other words, the people inside are largely just human computers.
". Our technicians think we can go straight to the castle of the Vladimir family, kill that guy, seize control first, and then deal with other things."
"Raid?" Lille shook his head, "We don't raid."
As he said, he controlled the zoom of the strategic map, showing a total of dozens of military camps and villages under Vladimir's control and monitoring.
Lille can definitely control this brand new body to break through the defense of Vladimir Castle and kill the Grand Duke inside.
But people can only liberate themselves.
"Gather the people, give weapons to everyone who is willing to take up arms and attack under my flag, and give knowledge and tools to everyone who is willing to live under my flag.
We will push forward every military camp, execute every puppet who surrenders to the Vladimir family, and save everyone who would rather die than surrender.
On this land, unfurl my flag, awaken the people on this land, and tell the whole world -
Latveria has a new king."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
