Chapter 1497 Moon War (13)
"But the problem of resource scarcity still cannot be solved, so the emperor planned to expand his territory and use an older ruling philosophy to solve the problem, and get rid of the single dilemma of resource scarcity? As far as I know, the feudal dynasty annexed land was to allow the main ethnic group to expand and assimilate foreign races, and the capitalist free market annexed the market to make profits and promote liberalism. I have learned the theory of the dependent school, which is indeed a solution, but it completely violates the values of national self-destruction and democracy advocated by the whole world after World War II." The ambassador said, "In my opinion, your emperor does not seem to mind using both methods at the same time."
"Annexation of Greece is not just for resources, nor for a larger market to avoid overproduction. The reason is that this is not an irrational decision. The market is just one aspect. The emperor needs endless resources, and the industrial raw materials produced on the earth cannot even cast a starship. The automatic mining stations we have built in the asteroid belt and the mining stations that will be built on the moon in the future are the industrial raw materials that belong to the future starship. The production on the earth will not have much impact on the emperor's ideals. His career will feed back to the earth, rather than plundering."
Another glass of liquor.
"This is not a beautifying war, and we will never do it, but there are some wars we have to participate in, even to save those who hate us. Do you think that the NATO army will consume resources to defend the main country of NATO when their masters make a fortune and encounter life threats? Just because of the existence of the Emperor himself, NATO dare not send troops to the Middle East to confront Him like he did. When the Dark Order arrives, who can get out of aliens?
Protect them in your hands? Relying on their own army and weak politicians?" Regent Victor von Doom chuckled. "The speech at the UN headquarters also minimized NATO's credibility, whether NATO intends to interfere in the Greek war, whether the EU and North America intend to initiate sanctions on him have no effect on the emperor who had already planned to establish a new order. You will understand what I said later, that the castle built on the rock will not collapse because of a few ants."
"Please continue to explain."
"The reason why the Emperor did this was essentially because He wanted to shelter more people in the hands of the alien army, and at the same time gained more resources to fight the exploitation of aliens and a few people on the pyramid of wealth, and avoid the numbers that were given value by exploiting the downstream of the economic system, wasted on jewelry, yachts, alcohol, postmodern art, seasonal luxury goods and drugs. The value brought by labor should not be wasted in the uncontrollable digital game of the financial market, but should be invested in any cause that is beneficial to mankind.
For example, let the poor eat and spend money on food and clothing, receive education and medical care, allow people to live up to their dignity, and spend education on useful scientific experiments rather than setting up research associations for a big man. Our ultimate goal is to enable humans to gain free will through technology and knowledge... You have also discovered that what was once called witchcraft still exists in our lives, and no one knows witchcraft better than me and Him. The climate in the Balkans has changed, and I will not tell others that he can change the climate on a large scale."
The 750 ml brandy was already half drunk, but the ambassador only drank two glasses.
The flashing icons on the battle diagram were still moving. But without the explanation of the Regent, even the ambassador who sat here for an hour and a half could not understand what the newly emerging symbols mean. Victor von Dum obviously noticed the ambassador's sight, and he smiled indifferently, no longer focused on the war on the moon. Just like the division of labor in the past, He was responsible for the war and he was responsible for the internal affairs. Victor von Dum would never leave Him an unsolvable problem.
"War is not just for natural resources and markets. Otherwise, he would go to the White House on the first day of his plan to save mankind and announce that he would become king. The North American continent has much more resources than the Balkans, right? I don't think anyone in this world can stop him. Playboy wearing steel armor is not good, and green monsters with radiation mutant can't do. He can massacre millions until the world surrenders, but He didn't do that because He is too kind. But kindness does not mean stupid. He has done many things that seem very cruel under this social moral code, and can make most people live without exception, even if those people fear and hate Him... Yes, I want to repeat the previous statement."
The ambassador raised his glass of wine that he had not drunk much and signaled the Regent to continue his speech.
"The emperor needs all mankind to stand with Him to fight against the continuous alien invasion, and all manpower and material resources must be used to continue human work. This is His work and mission. For this reason, He will not hesitate to break the monopoly of the oil empire and the military-industrial complex, so that small countries can also enter industrialization, even if it means being enemies of the vested interests of the world. Such a war will last for about one day. After all, the beheading action is very effective, and the knees of idiots who use money to raise fat are very soft, and only the backbone that is cast by ideals can support the body."
"What then?" asked the ambassador, "What after the victory?"
"It's hard to understand, right?" Regent said with a smile. "You still don't believe that in this money-dominated society, those who stand at the peak of power and money will regard it as a mustard, otherwise you won't ask this question." Regent agreed with a low laugh. "Ha, you're right. As a person who can live to the silence of the universe and cannot kill anything, if he is not stupid, how could he take the responsibility of saving human reason? He loves luxury life very much. Working two hours a day is a torture for him. He can move the planet by his will and stop time, but he needs to convince everyone to agree with His ideas."
"Forgive me, I cannot speculate on the idea of an immortal. I believe that on the psychological level, this immortality will definitely bring some side effects. I believe in the existence of selfless people, Mr. Regent. Although I do not want to discuss complex politics with politicians, it seems that you are not those clowns who rely on votes and sensationalism to be manipulated by interest groups. The wisdom and ideas you have are quite researched. However, I must raise a question. If the emperor evolved so high and his power is so powerful, why would He do this? Will you reason with the ants?" The ambassador turned his wine glass, "By the way, there is no hope for the immortal. There is nothing in this world that is eternal, but if there is and can still understand everything disappears from your side, then it is very difficult to maintain a mental normal life."
Victor von Doom's laughter and the ambassador's rudeness made Diana Lister look sideways.
