Counterattack [Interstellar]

Ten years later, the main star, Everda Palace.

"Your Majesty." The ceremonial officer nodded slightly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requests your summons."

Emperor Auston was standing in front of the French windows. His burly figure blocked a lot of sunlight, making the not-so-spacious study room look darker. Thinking of the accidents that had happened in the past few days, the etiquette officer felt a little trembling, but he paused. A few seconds later, he repeated what he had said just now. As if he had seen enough of the scenery, he turned around and nodded slightly. The officer of etiquette stepped back, and Anthony walked in slowly after a while.

Anthony looked at Auston with a disturbed expression, tried to take a few deep breaths, stepped forward to bow and salute: "Your Majesty."

Oston's giant lion quantum beast suddenly opened its eyes and yawned. Anthony's red lynx rushed behind his master as if being pricked by a needle, and never dared to curry favor with the giant lion as usual.

"Is this the crown prince of our empire?" Auston looked at Anthony coldly, and reprimanded sharply, "Looking at your distraught look! I wonder if the House of Representatives has submitted a letter of impeachment about you! You What about your courage?! What about your responsibility as the crown prince?! Is your crisis public relations just pretending to be pitiful?! As a politician, you can’t even stabilize your own heart. What can you do to appease the hearts of the people who support you?! You can’t even convince yourself, so what do you use to persuade your people to believe you?!”

Anthony was speechless after being reprimanded by Alluston, and he choked up after a long time: "I'm very, very sorry for disappointing you. I really didn't expect this thing before, I..."

Hearing this, Oston's headache became more and more serious. Anthony was not entirely to blame for this incident. Even if Anthony acted a little too hastily, that can be forgiven. He is still young, and he made mistakes for dinner. What annoys is Anthony's weakness, wrong is wrong!As the crown prince, he couldn't even bear this blow!

In a trance, Auston suddenly thought of his second son... That year, he made up his mind to exile Alan, and how many people came to intercede, but Alan didn't say a soft word to him at the end. Auston is now I still remember that Alan was only 14 years old at that time, and the last sentence he said to himself was... You wait, time will give you the loudest slap in the face.

Although Alan was almost aroused by these words at the beginning, he had to admit that Auston actually liked Alan's character better than the docile prince in front of him. Standing at the highest point of the empire, there was no perseverance If you fight hard, ten Anthonys are no match for Allen, but it's a pity...

Auston sat down tiredly, and said in a cold voice after a moment of silence: "The thing this time is that you are too impatient."

Seeing that Auston's tone was not as severe as before, Anthony was relieved, and nodded quickly: "Yes... I handled the problem too hastily."

It has been ten years, and a new round of statistics shows that the ratio of imperial guides to sentries has changed from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. When it was announced to the public, the House of Representatives blurred this figure again. The previous "one to one thousand" was changed to "nearly one to one thousand". Naturally, this kind of deception can deceive the kind and tolerant people, but it can't fool themselves. As early as half a year ago, the House of Representatives was discussing countermeasures. Just like Tony, Anthony is also an absolute supporter of the guide distribution system. Just half a month ago, Anthony just submitted a proposal to change the existing "blind date system" for guide sentries to a "distribution system" that can more effectively improve the combination rate of sentinels and guides. ", the blind date system was inherited from the wartime. A blind date ball is held every season in the "White Tower". The ball lasts for seven days. During these seven days, the graduated guides and the sentries who have been approved by the empire to have blind date rights get to know each other and fall in love with each other. , and left the White Tower together on the eighth day.

The ratio of sentries and guides participating in blind dates is three to one, so guides still have a certain right to choose to a certain extent. "System" breaks this routine. His opinion is to do another screening before the blind date to ensure that the combination degree of the combined sentinel and guide is above 90.00%.

Of course, this is supported by theory. The data show that the combat capabilities of guides and sentries with a combination degree of more than 80.00% are much higher than those with a combination degree of less than 80.00%. The proportion of people with abilities is 90.00% higher than those below 90.00%.

Simply put, after the implementation of the distribution system, the overall combat capability of sentinels who have been guided will be greatly enhanced, and the proportion of guides among their offspring will also be greatly increased. Anthony even asked experts to predict that ten years after the implementation of this regulation, 50 years, The ratio of guides to sentries in 100 years is naturally very gratifying in an ideal state. Anthony believes that as long as it is distributed in this way, the ratio between guides and sentries will one day be equal.

Unlike Anthony's high spirits before, Oston has always had reservations about this. Except for a few radicals with holes in their brains, everyone else in the House has also remained silent, but just a week ago, this no The proposal to pass any of the review procedures of the House of Representatives was suddenly leaked, causing an uproar among the public in an instant.

For a while, human rights activists, anti-imperial organizations, and guide rights protection associations all stood up to criticize Crown Prince Anthony's "anti-human" behavior. Auston himself did not respond, but asked the House to issue a statement to prove the so-called "anti-humanity" behavior. The "allocation system" is just a previous idea, and there is no plan to implement it, and this proposal was not proposed by Crown Prince Anthony, but by an official in the Crown Prince's uterus. The House tried its best to suppress the incident, but the tree Wanting to be quiet but windy, an unknown person on a forum on the Internet suddenly revealed that, in fact, the blind date party had already implemented a distribution system in a disguised form a few years ago, but the innocent guides didn't know that their blind date had already passed away. It's just a screening, this remark is tantamount to worsening the situation, all the previous explanations instantly became a trick for the parliament and the royal family to fool the public.

And what crushed the last straw was a tragedy in the White Tower a few days ago.

When the outside world was full of commotion, a 19-year-old guide in the White Tower quietly ended his life.

This guide was awakened at the age of 15. Before that, he already had a childhood sweetheart sentinel lover. The poor sentinel almost collapsed after his lover was sent away. For the illusory hope, the sentinel voluntarily went to the front line. After four years of fighting, this sentinel finally won the rank of lieutenant colonel—the lowest threshold for obtaining the right to a blind date.

Everything is going in a good direction, but the guide is completely desperate after hearing about the "allocation system". He grew up with his lover since he was a child, and he understands better than anyone else that their compatibility is less than 30.00%.

On the night when he learned the news, the guide injected a tube of air into his carotid artery with a stolen syringe and left his last words. He would rather kill himself than become the machine of a strange sentinel in the future. The next day, the sentinel who was waiting for the blind date season resolutely shot himself in the temple with his photon gun, which has killed countless enemies, after receiving the news of his lover's death.

Auston's barely stabilized situation was disrupted again in an instant.

The guide who accepted the empire's arrangement committed suicide in despair, and the sentinel general who went to the border for the empire was betrayed by the empire. The two bloody cases completely aroused the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people. Protesting crowds, the House's repeated efforts failed to achieve results. After several nights of nightmares, Anthony's spirits were extremely poor, and he was accidentally photographed while traveling. When Anthony's ashamed face appeared on the Internet again, everyone's anger finally came to an end. There is a point of catharsis... the source of everything is this anti-human crown prince!

All kinds of negative reports about Anthony poured in. From Anthony's illegitimate child status to all kinds of lace news about him in the past few years, all kinds of reporters tried their best to find out what they could, and they covered him thoroughly.

After a few days of conquest against Anthony, everyone's eyes returned to the guide again. Why should the guide accept all kinds of inhuman treatment?The empire is called protection, but have the guides really been protected all these years?Or has it been reduced to a tool for the empire to win over and control the top?Moreover, the "distribution system" sounds good to maximize the benefits, but who knows if there will be any tricks in it?It is not impossible to give certain benefits to the relevant personnel, and then independently choose a guide with a pure bloodline, strong mental power, and a prominent family that you are optimistic about.

Anthony, who has been criticized by the public for many days, no longer has the calmness of the past. Thinking about the parade students around his palace gate, he is going crazy: "I hope you can believe that I have never had the slightest selfish intentions... The proportion of guides among those who are able is decreasing year by year, I am anxious... I am for the empire, I..."

Auston closed his eyes and nodded: "I believe."

"Thank you...Your Majesty." After getting his father's affirmation, Anthony felt better, and continued, "I mean... now we should step up censorship, and stop letting all kinds of false remarks go viral on the Internet... "

"It's better not to block, but to let everyone vent their dissatisfaction, and it's a trivial matter, just a few words of scolding! When I misdirected and carried tens of thousands of lives, I suffered more serious attacks than you! I You’ve made it through too!” Alston interrupted Anthony coldly, “And your focus is wrong! What you should worry about most now is the emotions of the soldiers!”

Anthony froze for a moment and realized, his face paled in an instant. Oston let out a long breath. Anyway, the sentry who committed suicide before was full of negative energy. With this precedent, the soldiers will inevitably feel discouraged. Feeling cold, I feel that all efforts are worthless. If the army is disappointed with the empire, the consequences will not be predictable even by Auston.

"Don't show up again these days, I'll take care of the rest." Auston looked at Anthony and said in a deep voice, "Show the demeanor of a king, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Anthony's eyes suddenly turned red for no reason, and after a moment of silence, he bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Anthony left, and Oston rubbed his face tiredly after sitting on the chair for a long time. In order to solve the current crisis, the main city may need some fresh blood and positive topics.

Oston suddenly remembered what Alan had said to him ten years ago, Oston smiled wryly, the slap really hurt.

On the distant planet of Apollo, His Highness Allen, who is about to turn 24 years old, read the letter from His Majesty the Emperor with a smile. The etiquette officer couldn't move his eyes from the handsome prince, and couldn't help but also smiled: "Your Highness, do you have any good news?"

Allen casually threw the communication device aside, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "His Majesty the Emperor thinks that my body has recovered, and I can return to the main star."

Next to Allen's leg, a five-meter-long Taipan snake suddenly spat out a blood-red letter.
