Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

Just like the two anniversary speeches in the past, this time, Hong was also on the stage, reporting their current situation and the overall plan for the 200th anniversary to the more than 25 billion people of the Cat League.

If you want to expand it, the whole plan involves too many aspects, people's livelihood, economy, industry, military, science and technology, each field has a huge number of plans and arrangements, and each plan is related to each other. There are different degrees of connection, and together weave an extremely large and complicated but orderly web. If you want to speak clearly, it is definitely not something that can be achieved within a few minutes, or even three days and three nights. I can finish the outline.

But if you want to talk about the main idea, condensing all aspects of the fifth 25-year plan into an abstract theme, then the answer is very simple.

development of.

Relying on the solid foundation laid by the advancement of science and technology over the past few decades, around the "Star Cat's Tail" space elevator standing on the planet Arcana [-], they will use unprecedented determination and speed to move their industry Potential and efficient development into genuine industrial strength.

It's not by endless squeeze, that's not the style of the Cat League. What the Cat League has to do is to use their super high population quality and moral quality, which is unmatched by any civilization, combined with the omnic's unparalleled coordination and planning capabilities, Work together to create a miracle that belongs to development.

Don't they like to use industry to heap others to death?

After letting them experience 3000 years of crushing and exciting games, it is time for them to have a good look at what is a real industry.

After nearly a month of preparation work, finally, under the witness of all members, the train named development.

started.

PS: The power went out again... Seven times in nine days, Bengbu lived, and I wondered if I had traveled back to the 20th century.

Cats cry.

Volume 276 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] Go, take office as Ruper!

"On behalf of the crew of the Afriel I welcome you, sir."

Looking at the middle-aged Lupers, a middle-aged man in a brigadier general uniform, who was slowly walking towards them, several people saluted in unison.

It has been nearly ten years since the defeat of the entire army on Catus. Although at the beginning, the Great Rupert Kingdom tried to hide the news from the inside, but helplessly, the disappearance of the entire two main fleets is really true. What is not the news that can be easily concealed, coupled with some other considerations, made the Great Rupert finally choose to semi-disclose the news.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

Although due to the special system of the Great Rupert Kingdom, most of the people who can truly understand the news are the middle-class population. Compared with those bottom-level people who are completely indifferent to this incident and occupy the majority of the population of the entire civilization, they can only be regarded as few.

But it is precisely because of the particularity of the Great Rupert Country that after the news spread, the already unstable group in the middle class became even more unstable.

In just a few years, the average rate of thought crimes in the Great Rupert Kingdom has skyrocketed by more than 300%, especially in those remote and weakly controlled star fields, where the rate of crimes has increased tenfold all have.

Even in a very small number of particularly remote small settlements, there have been cases where the local resident thought police and thought criminals work together—this is undoubtedly the most unbearable bottom line of the Great Rupert Country!

Especially when there are some signs that are almost the same as those before the union's independence, such as the increasingly dense gatherings of underground organizations, the killing of core direct officials who appear constantly, and the signs of clean and benevolent government from the background officials, everyone Rupert Country is even more intolerable.

Even though compared with those in the past, the trend of thoughts in these remote star fields is actually far behind, but the Great Ruper Kingdom, which has suffered from it, still chooses a strategy that would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. The remote star field has undergone a blood exchange and cleaning.

A large number of local officials and various other middle-class people were kicked out of their original positions. Those who were lucky were transferred away, and those who were unlucky might be demoted or even evaporated.

Under such radical measures, the thought crime rate, which was already extremely high, was directly cut to the ankle, and the separatist trend of thought in a few star fields also came to an abrupt end, and the situation quickly stabilized.

Although the price of doing so is that the development of these remote star fields has been affected to varying degrees, several galaxies with a relatively severe degree of cleansing have even experienced several years of industrial output regression, and it has also allowed those more clever thought criminals to hide deeper. When you get up, it will be more difficult to find them again than before.

But Grand Rupert thinks it's well worth it.

At least, the direct impact of the defeat this time has been completely resolved by them - the cost is nothing more than some human lives and the temporary stagnation of the development of the remote star field.

Compared with the overall stability of the Great Rupert Kingdom, these are really insignificant.

Of course, as the Ministry of Thought that has been able to control the ideological trend of the Great Rupert Country for nearly 3000 years, they also understand that this is just an emergency measure. Although the society has stabilized in the short term, if they do not follow up with other means to " Treatment", these suppressed trends of thought will one day rebound hundreds or even thousands of times.

Therefore, after obtaining the leader's permission, they began to communicate with the chief of the military department of the Great Rupert Kingdom, and received much more assistance from them than before, and more direct troops were dispatched to various star fields, It is used to continue to suppress those trends of thought that they have just suppressed by various means-as well as those local mid-level officials and technicians in the colony.

Yes, in their view, these local people from remote star fields are not trustworthy in themselves-this is not only the arrogance and prejudice of the core star field people, but also has quite solid data support.

Especially those whose occupation time is less than a thousand years, and even some of the population were born before the Great Rupert Kingdom occupied here. Their resistance to the mainstream thoughts of the Great Rupert Kingdom is much stronger than other places.

In their own words...

"The people of XX country/XX civilization are not dead yet!"

Probably so.

Therefore, in fact, if it is divided by ideological trends, only the core star field of the Great Rupert Kingdom can be regarded as the real territory. Only the population there is almost [-]% advocating leaders and advocating totalitarianism.

As for the other star fields outside the core star field, they are not so much territories as they are colonies.

A highly authoritarian...colony.

From this perspective, the distrust of the officials and military in the core star field towards the locals in the remote star field becomes easy to understand—how could the suzerain country treat the colony as its own?

Of course, compared to the colonies of the old era, the internal connections of the Great Rupert Kingdom are still much closer. For those people from the remote star field who have passed the selection and confirmed that there is no problem with their thinking, the military department can still incorporate them into the army without discrimination. Of course, after joining the military headquarters of the Great Rupert Kingdom, they are no longer from the remote star field.

They will abandon their past identities and become a glorious core star field people.

This is an effective means for the Great Rupert Kingdom to maintain its suppression of remote star fields. At least to the current extent, as long as they are willing to spend more money to send more troops and manpower, it is still easy to suppress the independent trend of thought.

The Afriel is one of them.

As an extremely rare main battleship classified as a remote star field resident fleet rather than a mobile fleet, she should not have appeared in this place—although her mission was to be stationed in a remote star field for defense, but There is also a huge difference between a remote star field and a remote star field.

A large-scale heavy industrial galaxy whose industrial output value can almost rival the core star field, and a garbage galaxy whose total population may be less than [-] million in which even birds don't bother to shit here, the defense priorities of the two are, Whether it is external or internal, there must be a world of difference.

Such a rare regular capital ship should not be placed in those industrial galaxies that together can occupy half of the production capacity in the non-core star field, but in such a poor industrial strength, which can be used in remote star fields. It can be regarded as a remote galaxy. To be honest, it is impossible for them to have no opinions in their hearts.

But there is no way, who told the higher-ups to add defense corps and fleets to various galaxies recently?

Even such a remote star field can be allocated a capital ship like them. One can imagine how much the number of troops and directly sent officials will increase in those star systems that are richer and have greater pressure to suppress thoughts. Huge.

"very good."

Looking at the officers in front of them with extremely standard military salutes, the general who was assigned to be the captain of the battleship and also the general in charge of the space force of this star field looked around for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that the arrest of the previous captain did not have much impact on you."

"Yes, sir." Hearing what the new boss meant, the deputy captain of the Aurora stood at attention and replied. "We will never let those very few soldiers who have betrayed the Great Rupert Country affect our loyal army!"

"Very well, I can rest assured."

For such an answer, the new captain's expression was obviously very satisfied-this made everyone a little relieved.

After all, the reason why the former captain was convicted of treason was precisely because their deputy captain keenly discovered the cat-throwing tendency in the captain's mind, so they got tangled up and reported him jointly.

Although this allows them not to worry about being implicated because of the thought crimes of the old captain, on the other hand, it is difficult for them to say whether this will make the new captain have certain opinions on them, thinking that they are a second-in-command A small group headed by a chief will reject an airborne chief like him.

Well, such worries are actually right, because they really think so.

After all, in their previous predictions, the deputy captain should take over as the new captain after the old captain was captured, but in the end, the higher-ups chose to parachute a new captain onto their heads. This made them even more dissatisfied with being transferred to such a place where the birds don't shit.

But the dissatisfaction in their hearts is dissatisfaction, and it is definitely unrealistic for them to disagree with the highest officials of the star field directly sent by the above-in fact, as long as the other party does not make trouble for them, they are already thankful.

Now it seems that although this new chief is a legendary extreme Rupert nationalist, his behavior is much milder than expected.

In this regard, everyone's original hanging hearts were relieved for half a point.

"Excuse me, sir, what should we call you?"

After the simple pleasantries, the deputy captain finally asked—this is not just a question of address, but also an insinuation of their new boss's personality.

After all, unlike the old captain who was from the remote star field where they were stationed before, and whose thoughts and resume were somewhat unclean, this new captain was born in Rupperstein.

In terms of origin, this is already the ultimate that the people of the Great Rupert Country can achieve. There is no place where the origin can compare with a graduate from the Ruperstein Central Military Academy who has never been on the ground since joining the Space Force. Veteran officers compared.

Coupled with what they learned from other sources, the new captain's pure and pure Rupa nationalist trend of thought, which even most of the Thought Police cannot match, can almost be said to be a top priority. The general over there with the "Loyalty MAX" sticker.

If it wasn't for the fact that the general had just been redeemed from the Cat League not long ago, even though he had accepted multiple verifications by the military department, the ideological department and other departments to confirm that there was no problem, but for the sake of safety, and he did If you need to work through your qualifications before being temporarily transferred to their garrison fleet for a period of time, such elite officers would not appear here.

Yes, he is an officer who has just been redeemed from the Cat League—but to be honest, no one will think that he is a spy who was instigated. After all, his loyalty is too high. The degree of patriotism has reached the point where anyone will feel extremely at ease after seeing it.

Even, if the other redeemed officers hadn't experienced such a buffer period, and it didn't look good to do something special alone, he wouldn't have been rotated so much, but would have been directly reassigned to the main fleet.

No wonder they are so confident. After all, at the level of the Ministry of Thought of the Great Rupert Kingdom, it is almost impossible to make mistakes—the reason why there are so many thought crimes is because the Ministry of Thought cannot make those complicated Incomparable and costly methods are used in the normal monitoring of everyone, and even the foundation of the Great Rupert Kingdom cannot support such a huge ideological monitoring system.

But for such a very small number of people who are extremely important and worthy of such high-cost means, the calculations of the Ministry of Thought have never been wrong.

But he really didn't show even the slightest sign of being assimilated by the Cat League and the Federation—if the Department of Thought hadn't detected some of his minor problems, proving that he was indeed a "person" who was extremely loyal, there might have been someone Doubt he is the legendary member of the direct guard.

However, it is precisely because he is the kind of boss who is almost doomed not to stay for a long time, and will be transferred back to the main fleet after at most 30 to [-] years of experience, their reaction will be so weak—if it is really a direct parachute The boss who has suppressed them for half their lives will have opinions no matter how they say it.

"What do you call me?"

Facing the deputy captain's question, the rather handsome middle-aged Lupers smiled slightly.

"Just call me, Officer Reed."

"Yes, Chief Reed!"

Everyone gave a military salute in unison.

From this moment on, the middle-aged brigadier general named Reed officially completed all the preparations for taking office, and became the highest officer of the No. 20 fifth star system garrison fleet in the Great Rupert Kingdom.

Just an ordinary appointment, nothing worth talking about, is there?

After all, he is a near-perfect hardcore Rupaist officer who has remained unwavering under the ideological offensive of the Cat League for several years, and even the Ministry of Thought can write him a written document to confirm that he has no problems.

Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him, which only senior officers of his level can enjoy, he gracefully picked up the tableware that was put aside, recalling the hard life in the Cat League in the past few years, and those unworthy things. Ridiculously ideal, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

No qualified officer of the Great Rupert Kingdom would be swayed by their ridiculous, naive, and unrealistic ideals and words.

No?

...

...

...

It seems that he is not qualified.

PS: There was another power outage at [-] o'clock in the evening, and eight power outages in ten days. The power of planets bombed by orbit should be more stable than this.

Volume 277 Industry and Power: Chapter [-] My name is Reed, and I am from the Cat League

It's a suffocating place.

Looking at the gray walls and floors in the corridor, those people who were walking quickly along the passage with their heads down, Reed couldn't help but think so.

Although after being redeemed by the Great Rupert Kingdom, he has watched such scenes almost countless times, and told himself countless times in his heart that the Great Rupert Kingdom is like this, which is why he chose to apply to return The reason for this place.

But whenever he sees these boring and monotonous environments, these compatriots shrouded in high pressure and totalitarianism, he still can't help but feel a sense of sadness.

This is by no means what a normal civilization should look like.

It can even be said that this is by no means what a civilization with a normal brain should look like.

The reason for saying this is very simple. In the past so many years, there are actually not many Lupers like him who have raised doubts and disgust with the surrounding environment.

Even if the condition is limited to the harsh requirement of "actual hostile acts", the Great Rupert Kingdom has a population of trillions since its establishment. With such a large base, it is conceivable that its opponents It will definitely not be less, which he had heard a little bit before meeting Maomeng.

But for a long time, most, or almost all opponents, have a big congenital deficiency - yes, they know that the situation in the Great Rupert Kingdom is not normal, but they really only know This is not right.

The question is, what is the right thing to do?

no one knows.

Therefore, when some opponents were arrested, they were questioned by the ideology department, since they said that they were wrong every day, but they couldn’t come up with the right idea, wasn’t it just picking a fishbone in an egg? Often people are so choked up that they can't speak.

Immediately afterwards, even if you bypass their logical trap and are not brought into their rhythm by the other party, you will be questioned by the second question immediately, that is, "Since you said that doing this is wrong, backward, and anti-human Yes, then why is such a country able to stand strong for 3000 years, all the way from the era of internal combustion engines on the planet to a huge country that spans more than 90 galaxies and defeats all alien threats?" asked the question. .

Yeah, why?

Why is such a country that is worthless in their mouths able to defeat so many civilizations along the way, and even trample the gestalt insect swarms that have to be said to be "naturally powerful" in the eyes of their opponents, and become a giant in the sea of ​​stars? Which civilization is the strongest and most resistant to alien threats?

It can't be that so many opponents they have encountered are actually at the level of crouching dragons and phoenixes. Everyone has been fighting each other for 3000 years, right?

After excluding such low-probability events, there is obviously only one answer left—totalitarianism is also remarkable, and it can even be said that so far, its advantages are much greater than its disadvantages, otherwise it would be impossible. Explain why they can stand out among so many civilizations and stand on the top of the star sea.

Therefore, in the face of such questions, the best answer they can give is "When facing the crisis of life and death, there is no way to use such cruel methods to gain vitality for civilization. Although it is not good, It must be done; but after the crisis has dissipated, the correct way is to gradually remove those high-pressure means and gradually restore civilization to normal."

Obviously, you can think of it with the tip of a wolf's tail. There are too many loopholes to exploit in such an answer. You can think of a lot if you just think about it, but there is no way. After so many years, no one can think of anything better. answer - after all, it is true.

The more logical and reasonable you are, the less you can ignore the ironclad evidence—under such a combination of punches, there are definitely not a few opponents who are really convinced by the Ministry of Thought.

In particular, after the Ministry of Thought confirms that they have really been convinced by the evidence and have become so true that they can no longer be true Rupert nationalists, they will release these people again to take up some positions with little real power but very famous positions, so as to Convince more potential opponents.

It has to be said that this really works, which is also the reason why only the Commonwealth has such a wide influence and at the same time become the first successful country in history.

Only it gave a reliable answer, proving that it can still be more humane while taking advantage of the advantages mentioned by the Great Rupert Kingdom.

Almost everyone, including him, thought that this was the end.

However, since he was captured by the Cat League and learned a lot of information from them that he would never have received in his life, his worldview is like a mantis arm in front of the train.
