People's Federation will live forever

But... He glanced back at the secretary guarded by black hands in the corridor outside the door. The girl was very frightened by this machine, and she was always worried that she "knew too much" and was frightened, which made him start Thinking about it, is it inappropriate to include this woman as an advanced person in the first batch of "training lists"?

"The reports from the industrial and military ports have been exchanged. We have managed to get a comprehensive understanding of the current situation these days, and all the data will be updated to your terminals."

On the screen, Li spoke first, and he looked at Siegfried: "The civil affairs work has been delayed for a long time, and your report is missing, Chief of the Naturalization Bureau."

"I am so sorry."

"No, the work you are in charge of is the most complicated and important, even the most important." Li waved his hand, "Civil administration is the foundation of industrial and military work. The first step in farming is people. Without you Report that our work will be difficult to carry out. Well, Tarkin, about how to absorb these 1000 million people, how to transform this old world, talk to us with your experience on the front line."

"Your will."

Siegfried paid no attention to Lee's slip of the tongue, even though he never knew who Tarkin was.

"First of all, it's better to shed some blood so that the house can be cleaned."

PS: The world of MUV sucks.

Farming is a joy, and the treatment of MUV will be a template that can be set on other earths in the future.

Chapter 120: Cleaning up

"The sky has changed, the sky has really changed."

Under the incandescent light, General Valentin of the Homeland Defense Force paced back and forth in the room, sighing as he walked.There were already many empty bottles of imported wine on the coffee table, but the bald general was not drunk, only anxiety troubled his mind.

"Damn Yazov, damn committee, what did you do? You kept saying that you were trying to save the motherland, lured wolves into the house, and sold us out!"

The angry general kicked the coffee table away, and the shattering of the wine bottle attracted his panicked wife.The madam walked in, the tears on her face were still wet, she looked at her husband furiously with red eyes. As a woman, she didn't understand politics, but after decades of husband and wife, she could more or less guess how bad the situation was.

This small three-story villa is the home of the general, and it is also the best proof of the degeneration of the polar bears in the past, and the privileges given to the upper class.Even if the war is tight, even if they move to the bitterly cold place of West Siberia, these Slavic elites, the pillars of the empire, are also treated preferentially, because they are the only ones who can maintain the most basic operations and use the army to protect this land. the tranquility.

But now the situation has changed, and it has become very fast——Valentin has a trace of despair in his heart, but more regrets, regretting why he stayed neutral and watched the map head be replaced. Yazov promised too much , or his own cowardice?

Since that day, even the atmosphere inside the military has changed. He is not unaware of the conflict in the north. That short battle broke the backbone of the army. Turning his hands into clouds and hands into rain, he beat up the people on earth and then acted as a savior to create a "military miracle".Ordinary people are just glad that they took back a life from beta, but people in his position have a deeper understanding, which is disturbing—even if they are all human beings, will others be so kind to help you for nothing?The principle of politics is exchange. It gives you a helping hand, and it will inevitably take more.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yazov's committee to direct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sweep away the decision-making layers in the name of "cleaning out traitors," and people were dismissed and taken away every day.But I didn't speak at that time, because I was not on the side of the map's head, and I didn't wade into the muddy water.

But this time is different, just because I sent troops to rescue my son, I violated the so-called "joint command" regulations, offended the general of the People's Federation, and a kid who is not a major general will be investigated. Enjoy the "gift of technology" like Yazov and others.

The son's 44th brigade was completely wiped out, and there were no bones left. My family has paid so much, why did it end up like this?Because of those Yazov bastards!

"Clean up, let's get out of here."

General Valentin put on his military cap and told his wife: "I haven't been dismissed yet. The guards will send us to the airport tonight. We will take a military plane to Alaska. I have made arrangements and will leave immediately."

The army has not yet completely fallen into the hands of the People's Federation. Even if he is under surveillance, he still has some connections to help.The last light of the villa was extinguished, and a jeep drove out of the villa area in the night, making a detour to the Homeland Defense Air Force Airport without turning on the lights.In the car, the general put a small bag containing the film close to his body—New Moscow on the Alaska side still doesn’t know anything about the situation on this side, go there, find them, find Millican, maybe he... It is the horrific fact that Earth is under alien control that can be undone.

The high-sounding reason relieved his heart a little. The jeep did not take the road full of spies, but turned into a wilderness to smear and advance.It was approaching, and he calculated the distance to the airport in his mind until the car stopped suddenly.

"what happened!"

Valentin was furious, when the car lights turned on, he saw a row of heavily armed soldiers standing in front of the car, their blue hats were so eye-catching in the dark night, and the muzzles of their rifles were aimed straight at the couple inside the car people.The leading officer looked at him with a smile on his face and made a gesture. The ferocious soldiers opened the car door and roughly dragged the couple out.

"Long time no see, General...well, it's time to call you a traitor."

The officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs lit a cigarette, touched the holster around his waist with his left hand, and walked slowly towards the muddy Valentin. Down and hovering over the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers.He raised the display screen in his hand and said proudly: "Look at this advanced high-tech, it saves me from sending people to follow."

"Ministry of Internal Affairs, KGB, have they become aliens' lackeys now!" the general roared angrily, pointing at the officer's nose and cursing, "You should be our sword and shield, what about your loyalty? Traitors who betrayed the motherland!"

Suddenly, a heavy punch hit Valentin in the face, causing his eyes to stare, the bridge of his nose snapped, and blood flowed.The officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered the soldiers to drag the crying lady away, and he stepped forward and grabbed the old general by the collar and dragged him up: "Loyalty? We are following the order of the committee. Are you the only one who absconded?" You are a traitor! We know exactly what you want to do, run to Alaska? Want to destroy the glimmer of hope we have paid so much for?"

The middle-level officer seemed to be very angry, but his soldiers were silent: "My soldiers and I don't have the lofty status of you, general, to go to 'New Moscow'. We were left behind in Kamchatka just to give you a chance Do you buy time to escape when the betas attack? You bastards, I don't like you!"

Fist after fist hit the general's cheek, each punch was full of anger: "What did you high-ranking old men give us? The country was lost, and I left home. Since my parents were not evacuated from Kiev, I can't wait to smash Fuck you bastards who don't take people seriously!"

"We have no choice." The general coughed, spitting out a mouthful of bloody sputum mixed with his teeth, "We can only keep most people..."

"The majority? Are the [-] million people who died a minority?" He pointed to the soldiers behind him and said, "Do you know how I got here all these years? Do you know! My brothers and I did it for you How much dirty work, do you know how hard it is for me!"

"Because we can't help it, we have to live, we don't have a choice! Me and my brothers and my wife and kids are waiting for a boat ticket to Alaska, that damn bad check you wrote!"

"We put our hope in you, you let us go into exile! But it's different now, we have hope, is it because of you that we can repel the beta? It's because of the aliens in your mouth, they treat us as human beings , did not let women, children, old and weak beta rations, give us hope, why don't you say we don't work for them?"

After a burst of yelling, the officer took a breath, and then lowered his voice: "The times have changed, my lord! I think the human united front is very convincing. After all, I have seen them. They are also human beings. Human beings are righteous. You know how much it is." Is it high-sounding? It sounds much better than what you said! They need us, and they definitely need us if they want to integrate the entire earth. I will have a better future than you. They want to create a new world, you vested interests in the old world It would hinder their careers, and I would gladly do a houseclean for them in exchange for a future."

The soldiers roared with laughter, and the officer wiped his blood-stained fist and said: "It's a pity that Officer Miles said that the People's Federation doesn't like to kill people and likes to punish people. It's too kind, I'm really unhappy, otherwise I would like to give it to you." Open a hole in your brain... Take it back and lock it up, go in and write a lifetime self-criticism!"

Chief Siegfried said some blood had to be shed--the world bleeds all the time, and no one cared a little more.Whether the officer's words can be regarded as a representative is difficult to say, but he is right in saying that the vested interests of the old world will hinder the reforms that Lee will carry out in this world, and this time we are not going to compromise again .

Those who actively cooperate and hold key positions are forces that can be fought for. For this, we are willing to give a little gift in exchange for the greatest benefit at the least cost. They have obtained a long life that satisfies them. The price is that they are completely controlled by Li, and they will never A little menacing.

And the rest can be quickly dealt with by the black hands. With the authority entrusted by Li and the full cooperation of the surrendered committee, the executor Miles quickly integrated the Polar Bear's Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB into a brand new department - the All-Union The Special Investigation Bureau of the Front for Elimination of Corruption and Anti-Delinquency conducts the most severe investigations on the military and civil affairs departments who are listed as unqualified personnel.

These gendarmes, who hadn’t had time to change their costumes, devoted themselves to this cause with great enthusiasm. Each of them has undergone screening and short-term training by black hands. They collect evidence with the technology products of the People’s Federation, and then carry out quick arrests—— However, the style has also changed from the roughness of the past. There are no longer shootings without trial. On the contrary, the Bureau of Investigation is actually really serious about investigating the bad deeds of these people, and conducting trials in accordance with the law rather than political tactics.

Miles: "Black hands, although they are black hands, but our hands are not stained with the blood of innocent people."

Corruption, dereliction of duty, and even buying and selling public assets!As a general, how many times have you left your troops and fled, and how many times have you commanded and lost your troops indiscriminately?How do these people frame innocent people, how are they irresponsible, how do they manipulate the situation in the war against beta for their own personal interests?Not a single one was clean. Not only did they not arouse the panic of the people when they were arrested, but the soldiers and civilians who let out a bad breath shouted, they could no longer tolerate these wise men. A little credibility has been restored and a good start has been made.

Fairness and justice, these two cannot just be slogans.

However, someone also asked Myers who was in charge of this matter: "The people we recruited have not been strictly screened, and speculators and careerists have mixed into our team. Will it bring more bad influence? Let them put the old The atmosphere of the times has been brought in, corrupting the quality of Renlian?"

The executors are not surprised by this: "I can't ask everyone to be a saint, at least it is enough for them to cooperate with our cause at this stage. In the process of leaders creating a new world, they should also know how to keep pace with the times, When we have perfected laws and institutions here, they must also operate under our standards."

If they don't understand—"They are just the auxiliary force of the Black Hand. If they don't understand the rules of the People's Federation, the rules of the Black Hand will teach them."

Saying so, Miles dismissed his subordinates.He wasn't worried about that at all. In fact, compared with the quality of the old staff, the more troublesome problem was the "swallows" that the old Maozi had cultivated for decades. How to arrange them made the executors quite embarrassed.

"Let my compatriots sell their dignity, in the name of making contributions... Huh, with Wei An."

---

Cleaning went well...

Those vacated positions, rights, and departments can just take this opportunity to merge into the new institutions established by the United United Front. Siegfried's staff made a detailed plan to re-examine and select capable people from among the people on Earth. Talents, and further training, and some management personnel were transferred from Sira to assist.

All of this is going on in full swing, and Li has given full power to his subordinates to be responsible for this process. This will be a big test for them, testing whether they have the ability to keep up with the pace of the times.

The results are reassuring.

"Before the Moon Campaign ended, before the People's Federation came to this world, we believed that the race survival battle between humans and betas was the main contradiction in this world, and the internal affairs of human beings were only incidental secondary contradictions. In the past, we formulated Many of the plans were purely military considerations ... and now, we were wrong."

Li closed a small book wrapped in red leather and handed it to Olivia at the side: "You should read it, this is a great work full of thinking about objective reality and wisdom of struggle, our The cause needs such a great man's wisdom."

"I saw that contradictions will be changed according to the conditions, and the primary and secondary substitutions... just like what we are facing." Olivia sat on a chair with legs folded gracefully, turning the pages of the book leisurely, " If productivity hinders development, then developing productivity is the main thing; if the superstructure is the hindrance, then replace it...is this your plan?"

And the key is - "Designing from the top is great, but how far are you going to go?"

Olivia asked unintentionally, and she glanced back at the back of the lobby. This person is in the "office" mansion of the Earth, and the two sisters of the Inspirit are temporarily placed here to "play" with Irena .The strongest fighting force of the People's Federation came to Earth as she wished, and Olivia had to watch her not to make any big troubles.

"You know, we can't tell how much time we'll have," said the general.

"I haven't forgotten what the 'remains' on the moon represent, I know better than anyone what that portends... The dangers of this universe have not really been revealed to us. Everything we do now is to deal with danger, rather than simply expanding."

Li stood in front of an electronic curtain wall where he could see the dynamics of the whole world. Since the discovery of element zero, beta is no longer a fatal threat to Renlian, or even a major threat.

"Times have changed. There are 20 billion people on the earth, but we have taken over tens of millions. It is our most important goal to turn these manpower into the driving force of civilization and bridge the time gap. However, we have to start from the most basic."

Li turned around and sat opposite Olivia.

"I trust my men, Siegfried, Pompey, they will not let me down."

PS: Don't stop!

Chapter 120: Our road will always lead to victory

Climb, go up, go to stand on the top of the towering mountains, let the high-lifted auxiliary mechanical arm use the alloy claws to penetrate deep into the vertical rock wall, accompanied by the roar of the servo motor and the creak of the exoskeleton, The "pile driver" engineering components strapped to your back replace the ice ax and spike boots to drive your body, and the four two-meter-long mechanical arms swing up and down like spider claws vertically up and down among the cliffs and mountains.

And you don't even bother to look at the path, leaving the action entirely to the engineering robotic arm, reading the analysis of geography and rock composition in the AR eyepiece with your eyes, and stopping from time to time to use the exoskeleton functional components worn by your arm to move on the rock. Punch a hole in the wall and collect some useful samples.

"Director Pompeii, the preparations have been completed, but we need your plan for the next step."

At the same time as the signal was connected, the roar of the engine sounded in the abyss below the cliff. With the help of the rocket booster, the rectangular black transport plane rose vertically. There was a gust of wind, but fortunately, the sharp claws of the mechanical arm had penetrated more than ten centimeters into the rock wall.And Pompeii glanced at today's third batch of transport planes, calculating how far away he was from his goal.

Siegfried...is a bastard!It's nice to say, what is the result of building a great industrial empire in the new world?Not only do they not give themselves any resources, but they also point fingers at everything about their work—these politicians have always been full of bad things, why did I believe it in the first place?

Pompeii was very disappointed, and when he thought of this, he became angry for no reason, and drove the mechanical arm to climb up at an extremely fast speed.There seems to be a big humanoid spider moving on the lonely rock wall. Occasionally, he will pop out a nanowire claw, leap over the abyss with a height of more than 2000 meters like a swing, and finally catch up with the tail of the transport plane and reach the top of the mountain. The first achievement of the Ministry of Industry and Research on Earth:

A marker made up of gears, DNA double helixes, and Mobius loops is the exploration camp of the Ministry of Industry and Research.Although simple, this will be the starting point of the work of the Ministry of Industry and Research in this new homeland. Maybe the conditions are limited and there may be many difficulties, but the light of technology will surely shine on the whole planet from here on.

Why is the People's Federation strong?Is it because of the brave and fearless guards, or because of the hidden and powerful black hands?No, because of science, because of technology and nothing else!Created by Li himself, the Industry and Research Department led by Dr. Ensig has been quietly laying the foundation for the cause of mankind. For ten years, our scientists and engineers have built a magnificent city in Thira and provided abundant materials The foundation makes the people happy and the army strong, which in turn provides a solid support for the cause of the People's Federation.If it is said that human beings are to be supreme, then human beings must first be scientifically supremacy-this has always been Pompeii's belief, so for this belief, he will fulfill his duties, not only that, he will do better than anyone else!

"Good morning, Your Excellency Director."

Someone greeted him, but that was all. Everyone was busy with their work and had no time to please their superiors.Although the camp is not big, a curved two-story windproof building has been built with metal brackets and glass that have been driven deep into the ground. More than a dozen engineers and more soldiers are busy, wearing exoskeleton engineering components, Some even piloted a one-man Wolverine to haul tons of cargo from transport planes.

Because it is just a survey work, there is only one large printer on site. The raw material transported from Sira is filled powder. When the machine is turned on, several rotating multi-axis robotic arms spray the heated solution on the base.The metal structure, etching circuit, laying and assembly, and flaw detection processing were completed in one go. The engineers here have already erected pillars beside the crater, preparing to conduct a detailed analysis of the local lava.

Pompeii walked through the busy construction site all the way, and heard complaints about the inefficiency without the assistance of engineering drones. Most of them were scolding Siegfried: "What should pay attention to international influence, local people's opinions, don't use too much High-tech technology? He can do whatever he wants!"

The engineers from the army were even more radical: "International influence? When the interstellar wormhole generator is launched and the space fleet arrives, what international influence are you afraid of? The country is gone!"

Pompey did not stop these complaints, because he was a part of them.There is only one thing that the Ministry of Industry and Research is dissatisfied with, and that is the industrialization issue that Pompeii and Siegfried had a big quarrel with each other a few days ago, and neither of them could convince the other.

How are we supposed to build the Human Federation's territory on Earth at this time when polar bears have almost completely taken over?Is it to be completed in one step according to the standards of Syrah, or is it downgraded to be built with relatively backward technology?

After entering the sending station on the top floor of the camp building, Pompeii removed the engineering components on his back and opened the holographic communication interface.The signal was in the process of application, and he glanced out of the window—this is the Avacha volcano, the most active volcano in the entire Kamchatka Peninsula is at the foot of the team of the Ministry of Industry and Research, and an explosion of beta erupted at the foot of the mountain half a month ago The war, now that the smoke of gunpowder is gone, the port city of Petropavlovsk, which is only a dozen kilometers away from here, has restored order under Siegfried's governance, and people have returned to their daily lives.There may still be many refugees stranded, but due to effective management and recent reforms, the Naturalization Service has used all means to maintain the appearance of stability.

"Boom. Boom. Boom..."

The bells of Orthodox churches were heard in the city, a ritual reminder that it was Sunday.The early morning smoke filled the sky over the city, and Pompeii knew that the people here lived a different life from that of Renlian, which was what Sira looked like before the Pendulum War.The dense crowd took to the streets to collect their supplies for the day. Although they couldn't hear them, the noisy voices seemed to reach Pompey's ears.

Perhaps, compared to managing thousands of people, it is actually much easier to do the work yourself?

The signal comes in, the shutters are closed and the lights are turned off, and as Lee and Siegfried appear, their dispute will have a direct arbitration...

Anyone with a little brain can know that it is impossible for all resources to be provided by Sira. Even from a military point of view, the People's Federation has sent more than [-] soldiers to the earth—not many, is it?Counting the equipment, the People's Federation, which has entered the era of high-tech warfare, can rely on a small number of manpower to maintain the operation of a large battlefield, relying on countless soldier bees, sickle mechs, and a large amount of heavy war machinery and ammunition.

The Battle of the Moon lasted for three days, and half a year’s worth of reserves was spent. These may be just numbers in the eyes of the general, but even the cheapest soldier bee needs a printer and an assembly room, and the raw materials for the printer are not from the ground. Instead, the mining area on Xila collects, transports and initially processes various metal ingots, and then sends them to the furnace to smelt them into various alloys, and then refines them into spherical powders for canning and transportation.Ordinary people only see that the printer can produce universally by adding raw materials, but they don’t know that there are hundreds of types of raw materials, which have gone through hundreds of processes and hundreds of thousands of engineers.Circle, this is the key point to consider, the laws of physics determine that this world cannot be created out of nothing, the more advanced the industry, the more it needs a huge and sophisticated industrial chain.

(Any element is produced by star fusion supernova explosion, but stars are also squeezed by star dust, and the total amount remains unchanged. This process is still a part of mass-energy conservation)

To open a wormhole requires a collider around the equator of Thira, so it is necessary to establish a set of basic industries on the earth when more openings cannot be made.No one objected, but the difference was——

"We should directly establish a set of fully automated industries on the earth, produce with the highest efficiency and expand armaments, so that the army of the People's Federation can quickly pacify the world." This is Pompey's point of view. He is not talking empty words, in order to prove his Already able to complete all this quickly, he moved out the big killer of the Ministry of Industry and Research-"The Ministry of Industry and Research has the ability to mass-produce 'fusion centrifuges', and my team is conducting surveys on the Avacha Volcano. Lava sampling confirmed very satisfactory."

Fusion centrifuge, lava... The former is Renlian's latest industrial creation. The giant centrifuge driven by the fusion reactor can crush and melt all the ores loaded in, and then pass through each element with different quality, from light to heavy, from top to bottom. It is a kind of heavy equipment designed based on space collection operations.

The value of lava is the natural deposit given to us by the earth.No matter whether humans mine in shallow or deep layers today, they are just enriching minerals on the surface of the planet with a thickness of [-] kilometers, while lava comes from the mantle layer, which contains almost all mineral elements, and flows quietly under the surface.Cooling lava forms a variety of substances, and a piece of silicate rock can separate useful elements such as silicon aluminum iron sodium potassium magnesium titanium manganese.

When magma meets a fusion centrifuge, sleepiness meets a pillow. We can get all the substances we need from the blood of Mother Earth.Pompeii's plan is very simple. The lava is extracted from the volcano and poured into the centrifuge to separate the elements, which saves the trouble of seizing the local mines. A complete set of industrial systems including energy can be built around the volcano, which is basically self-sufficient. The advanced one is supplemented by Scylla and can save the transportation capacity of the wormhole, how perfect it is!With the operation of the Ministry of Industry and Research, the rest only needs to be forward A by the guard.

Siegfried said: "But, Your Excellency Pompey, how many local workers can the factory you plan to accommodate?"

"None are needed. The production line is managed by the supercomputer VI, and the operation is automatic. The deployment of industrial drones can produce 24 hours a day, without requiring many maintenance personnel." Pompeii frowned, and the other party still had this set of problems, " The locals don’t have this quality, and I don’t need these people who don’t have enough basic education.”

"So, sir, how big is this factory, does it cover the whole city?"

"Yes, the entire city will be bulldozed and rebuilt, and offshore facilities will also need to be built."

"Then what about these people, these millions of people?"

Pompeii was even more dissatisfied: "That's your problem. If you want them to move, you don't want to kill them. Find a place to live and educate them. After the factory is established, there will be production of building materials and livelihood materials. Isn’t it enough to build a protein production base to meet the food needs of these people?”

"Your Excellency Pompeii, the industrial production is covered by you, and the military operations are handed over to the guards. What should the tens of millions of polar bear citizens do? We will fully support them and raise them in captivity? Will we include 20 billion people around the world in the future? Will they also be confined?" Siegfried made his ultimate move, "We want these people to advance and retreat with us, we need them to participate in our cause and cultivate their centripetal force to the People's Federation. They are people, not numbers. Idle crowds breed chaos In the old days, people were still afraid of a large number of idle people brought about by unemployment! They don’t produce, consume social resources in vain, and even feel dissatisfied and create troubles!”

"..."

Pompey was speechless, and Siegfried chased after the victory: "When the People's Federation was established, everyone worked under the leadership's distribution. What they gained during the labor process was not only a bite of food and a whole day of fatigue, but also Seeing that my efforts have won the war and I know that I have made a contribution, I am very encouraged! People are moving towards the same goal, thus putting aside the old national, ethnic, and regional prejudices and united to form the People's Union Did the 50 survivors of Sira loyal to the People’s Federation and agree with the Declaration of Unity just because the leader saved them?”

"No! It's this process. It is the transformation of the people's spirit and thought, and the process of breaking prejudice and building trust. It is indispensable. The People's Federation should not just exist like a savior to them, but should become their guide and be their guide. Their example mobilizes the enthusiasm of the local people to participate in the salvation of their own destiny. From this, our reform of the world can go deep into every layer.”

In the end, Siegfried made his complete suggestion: "Promoting rice favors fighting rice hatred, I am not opposed to the construction of advanced industries, I hope that the Ministry of Industry and Research will adapt to local conditions and carry out preliminary upgrades for local people to meet their needs. A high-quality industrial system absorbs the unemployed, and we can do preliminary social management and establish a household registration system on the manual assembly line.”

First of all, households are registered as households, and after the basic management system is established, governance can be implemented, residences and jobs are allocated according to needs, and if there is no job, a post is divided into several processes and a few more people are added, no matter how old or young they are, they cannot be idle anyway.People use labor in exchange for food and safety, and pay taxes-some traversers always like to use tax exemptions to express their love for the people like children, which is really stupid.Taxation is the expression of the influence of the will of the empire on the individual, and it is also the obligation of the individual to the country, so that he can know who he belongs to. The consciousness of being a "taxpayer" is also a kind of centripetal force.

This system behind Sira is implemented in the name of "wartime". During the process, manpower training and selection will be strengthened, and people who meet the requirements of the People's Federation will be gradually established to connect the earth's civil affairs and the Sira network. The new generation who will be trained by the People's Federation will grow up After the complete unification.

"Designing such a system is far more difficult than building an automated industrial zone." Pompei was indignant, "Build it, and then upgrade it as the quality of the local people improves? The time is at least 20 years!"

He glared at Siegfried, thinking that this old political stick framed me, these words must be said in front of the leader!

Tarkin was noncommittal: "But 20 years later, we can usher in explosive development, without future troubles, and the People's Federation will reach unprecedented heights. In 20 years, we can afford to wait."

Finally, Li, who was listening quietly at the side, spoke. He first pointed at the two and smiled, "What you are arguing about is actually the issue of who comes first in terms of productivity and production relations. It is a dispute between natural science and sociology!"
