Byron's Blade

What people suffer from is not that they laugh instead of thinking, but that they don't know why they laugh and why they stop thinking.

Mu Li couldn't remember where she read this sentence, but she felt that this sentence profoundly expressed the current situation of the entire Federation.What a frightening thing it is when people are controlled to the extreme, numb to the point of losing consciousness, losing their emotions, and even not knowing that they once had freedom and happiness.

In the early morning of that day, she stood at the top of the towering Babel Tower and watched the sun rise from the east with her own eyes. It seemed that she had seen the sunrise for the first time since she was born.Then she shed tears inexplicably, not because she was moved to tears, but as if she had let out some emotion that had been suppressed for a long time.

The broken walls and ruins under the feet are like the superstructure of the Federation today, full of scars.This is what can’t be broken but can’t be built. This is the real thing that can’t be broken without building, instead of destroying everything like Rudolph and Rafinu, and then a so-called reconstruction.

However, Mu Li is very clear in his heart that the matter is not completely over yet.Although the Nine Gods system has been destroyed, the Western Army is still in the hands of Conrad, and he still controls the command of the army.If he does not give up and continues to command the army to attack the southeast revolutionary army, then the bloody armed conflict will continue, and the finishing work will become a big problem.

However, the situation was much better than Mu Li had imagined. Conrad ordered the Western Army to stop the attack, and personally called General Luo Jia to apply for a truce.Two hours after the two generals contacted by phone, he found a TV station and made a live TV broadcast to the entire territory of the Federation, announcing the armistice and surrender of the Western Army, announcing that he would remove all military power and regime, and resign.

Why did Conrad make such a choice?Among them is one of his very smart and current affairs considerations-voluntary surrender, giving up power, and abandoning the car to protect the handsome.Why do you say that?It is very difficult to define this military conflict. To be honest, the army led by Conrad is the defender, and the southeast revolutionary army led by General Luo Jia is the reactionary faction and the initiator of the military coup.According to the current federal constitution, the criminal is the southeast revolutionary army, and Conrad, who is the defender, is innocent.

But embarrassingly, the revolution succeeded.This means that the entire superstructure of the Federation will undergo a major shake-up, and the constitution will definitely be amended.It is the military generals and revolutionary politicians such as General Luo Jia who took the initiative to control the change after the successful military coup.

Why do you say the revolution was successful?Is the army in Conrad's hands not working well?The answer is of course yes.Due to the collapse of the Jiushen system, more than 80.00% of the soldiers in the Western Army were tired of fighting and abandoned the war, refusing to take up arms to fight. The situation was so serious that they turned against each other.Now that the Western army is in a state of disunity, it is impossible to achieve major events.Even a devilish general like Lieutenant General Samuel is no longer able to command the army to fight.On the contrary, the mood of the Southeastern Revolutionary Army was very high, everyone was gearing up, and the momentum was like a rainbow. The defeat of the Western Army was a certainty.

If it is said that Conrad is stubbornly resisting, then he will be classified as a military criminal, and the result of waiting for him is likely to be tried by a military court, life imprisonment or even the death penalty may be crowned on him.But if he can voluntarily give up the political power and military power in his hand before the current constitution is amended, as a legal defender, his life safety and personal freedom will be protected by the constitution when he gives up resistance and is unarmed. It cannot be modified, because this is the foundation of the country.Although it is extremely ironic, this basic federal human rights law became Conrad's last protection/umbrella, blocking the last fatal bullet of the revolutionary army one millimeter away from his heart.

For him, even if he will be closely guarded in the future, he can still eat and drink and live a good life after all.It's much better than losing your life and everything.However, his family has already been destroyed, his third wife died in the raid of the Helios on the Grand Marshal's Mansion, his daughter Pere has already died, and his eldest son Creel did not participate in this military operation, because earlier, The father and son had already turned against each other. Creel was placed under house arrest by Conrad, and his military regime in the Federation was seized.Such an ending may not necessarily be a good ending.

As soon as Conrad announced his surrender, the conservative and stubborn forces completely lost their last shield, and the old ruling aristocracy began to collapse like a golden mountain and a jade pillar.The first is that the Western Army fully accepts military control. All officers above the squadron leader must be summoned for investigation. Ordinary non-commissioned officers are all disarmed and locked up in the military camp to be imprisoned by the Southeast Army, waiting for further deployment instructions.

Due to the complete destruction of the Jiushen system, the investigation process was carried out very slowly, because everything returned to the most primitive way.Although the efficiency was low, the investigators who were in charge of the investigation felt very at ease in their hearts. They were busy from early morning to late night, and there was inexplicable joy in their fatigue.

The church army was originally a special guard force of 1 people, but it expanded to 3 during the confrontation.Now these [-] people have all been imprisoned, and everyone has to undergo very strict interrogation and mental appraisal.In addition, all the clergy of all churches have also been arrested and imprisoned. These people are high-risk elements and must be strictly controlled.

The big purge of the diehards of the Nine Gods System began, and the intense investigation lasted for nine months, involving a large number of people involved in the case.Courts, procuratorates, military police, and the internal purge investigations of these law enforcement agencies have been going on like a storm.A large number of nobles, officials, businessmen, and believers involved in the case were arrested, so that almost all the upper-level organs of the country were hollowed out.

General Friesman was temporarily elected as the acting president of the Federation, and formed a supreme decision-making meeting with Generals Luo Jia, He Yun, and Strong to preside over the operation of the entire Federation.Conrad, Samuel and other senior generals of the Western Army were imprisoned, and what awaited them was an endless prison/imprisonment career.

During this period, Mu Li, Lan Ni and other revolutionary fighters who rushed to the forefront have been recuperating.A lot of things happened, of course, most of them were happy events, but they are all for later.

As the vanguard fighters of this revolutionary action, Mu Li, Lan Ni, Qiu Zheng and others have become the focus of much attention in a very short period of time.And soon he became a hero and idol worshiped by the whole people. From the octogenarians aged 80 to [-] years old, to the children who just recognized each other at the age of three or four, everyone knows everyone, and everyone's names are familiar to everyone.

On the afternoon of the second day after the overnight battle in Babel Tower, Mu Li and others who were still receiving treatment in the hospital, the hospital building where they were located was surrounded by countless newspapers, magazines, and TV media.But several people were very tired, and it was not the most appropriate time to be interviewed.

After recuperating for a week, Lan Ni, as a representative, held a press conference accompanied by generals Luo Jia and He Yun, stated everything, and unreservedly exposed Rudolph Andres offense.This press conference lasted a whole day, from 39:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. Lanny wrote a full [-] pages of speech, comparable to a doctoral dissertation, after being concise. version of.

Why did Lan Ni attend as a representative, but the most important Mu Li didn't show up?This question will not be overlooked by reporters.The official answer is that Mu Li is very tired now and has no energy to attend the press conference.The reporters thought it was a perfunctory answer, but they didn't know that Lanny hadn't lied to them. Mu Li was indeed very tired, starting from the night of the Babel battle.

She began to suffer from insomnia day and night, and there were always noisy voices in her ears, even though she was in a very quiet environment.Sometimes, she can even feel some thoughts of worshiping her. It is a very mysterious feeling, and she can't explain it at all.

General Friesman told Mu Li that she may have replaced Rafinu's position in the former Nine Gods system, and has become a new belief of the federal people.That is not deliberate, but the subconscious belief inertia in everyone's mind for a long time, which is a kind of mind transfer.Her brain is likely to connect thousands of people in some unexplainable way.This phenomenon was caused by her mental power directly invading the Nine Gods system and destroying Rafinu during the final battle.

Mu Li was puzzled, wasn't the spiritual power of Latia and Dora also connected to the Jiushen system at that time?Why did such a phenomenon happen to her.

Friesman told her that this is because of the particularity of her spiritual power, and her vast spiritual power is the only subject that can bear the belief of the people.Her gentle and yang-like spiritual power is also the only spiritual power that can attract and illuminate all people.

Mu Li was not happy about this, she was panicked and confused.

Latia told her that everyone's power of faith will make her spiritual power stronger.She can hear the thoughts of all those who are connected with her spirit. If she wants, she can even appear in everyone's mind anytime, anywhere, and talk to all peoples with her thoughts.Just like His Majesty the Emperor of Lemuria back then.

It was hard for Mu Li to accept the words of Latia and General Friesman.She already understood what this meant. Could it be that she would never have a peaceful life to live from now on?Can't she cover her ears and not listen?

General Friesman told her very seriously that she may have become a "god", and she has obtained the supreme power that human beings have never controlled since their birth.For this, she must pay the corresponding price and take corresponding responsibilities.

Mu Li sighed deeply, she never prayed to be a god, why did the godhead come to her.

The far-sighted general Friesman held a secret meeting with core members such as Mu Li, Lan Ni, Qiu Zheng, Joan, Dora, and Latia the day before the press conference.The main purpose of this secret meeting is to keep the changes in Mu Li's mental power and the power she currently possesses strictly confidential.This matter must not be known to the public, otherwise when people know that their spirits are completely controlled by a single, self-conscious individual, it will cause huge social panic.At that point, things are getting out of hand.

All the participants agreed.

The country cannot live without an owner for a day, and it is time for the people to stand up and be the masters.But because of long-term enslavement, the current people's level of knowledge is low, and they don't know how to unite to govern their country.They don't have the concept of democracy in their minds, and no matter how you explain it to them, it won't help.Under such circumstances, it is not a good thing to give them voting rights in national decision-making.At present, they can only be given the right to vote and to be elected.

This country still needs a small number of elites to lead in a short period of time.After the people's minds are liberated, it will not be too late to carry out reforms slowly.General Friesman had foreseen the situation after the success of the revolution, and had already formulated a comprehensive countermeasure.Today, it's just a matter of doing it step by step.What he means is to first select the elite representatives of the people, and unite with the reformers in the old government to form a parliament and a government, forming the country's highest decision-making body and administrative body.

But when it came time to vote for elite representatives, a situation arose that even General Friesman hadn't foreseen.

A large number of people raised the banner and asked Mu Li to be their only representative.

Some people are even more naked/naked/naked. They put up slogans, calling on everyone to elect Mu Li as the new federal marshal, and they want Mu Li to be their only leader.

There are more and more people like this as time goes by. In the end, almost every day there will be a parade of thousands of people, walking on the road with huge banners, calling and shouting.

"She is the greatest hero, the person who brought the dawn to this country!" In front of the camera, countless voters repeatedly shouted this sentence.That night, the shock that Mu Li brought to them was too strong and profound. At this moment, only this person who knocked the soul in their minds was left in their hearts, and she was the only spokesperson they recognized.

A few days later, another new proposal was put forward. Some people thought that the position of Grand Marshal should be abolished. This is a position of sinners through the ages and should not be awarded to their heroes of the dawn.Mu Li is a person who surpasses the Grand Marshal, she is even greater, and she should be the head of state of this country.

So the people shouted:

"Only the emperor surpasses the Grand Marshal, and the hero of Shuguang will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"

The author has something to say: the epilogue volume Chapter 1, there are many surprises in this volume.
