"Atro, you have to remember one thing. The rule of the empire is achieved through the tools of the nobility. The great nobility is the redundant part of this tool and is the worm that will inevitably arise in this system.

"The internal conflicts in the empire have become increasingly intensified. Our method of using war to transform and export conflicts to the outside world did not achieve much effect after the initial setback in the war.

"Actually, I have been thinking recently about what is the cause of the empire's current predicament."

Atero laughed sarcastically: "Third uncle, this is the scope of your worries. I can't understand it."

"What's the point of worrying?"

The third uncle sneered:

"My influence only exists in the military system. When the army completes a cycle of metabolism from bottom to top, if I can't go any further, I will have to find a place to retire."

Then, the third uncle sighed softly and said slowly:

"When I was your age, I was a general who didn't have much brains. I only knew tactics, tactics, attack, and attack. I led my fleet to defeat powerful enemies one after another.

"Later I learned that the empire's greatest enemy is the empire itself.

"Within the empire, under the round table, within the sphere of influence of various departments in the military and political system, there are two forces that are not clearly divided... It is not so much the forces, but rather the inner tendencies of us old people.

"Atro, you may have heard of the term institutional reformer."

Atero was stunned for a moment: "Third uncle, are you a reformist?"

Third uncle nodded slowly:

"It's time to tell you this, but you don't have to worry. This is a discussion within the core of the empire's power. We are just looking for a way out for the future of the empire.

"This discussion is actually about whether we should modify the imperial system, define the empire as a civilization with a long history, and then decorate the periphery of the political system with the words of freedom and democracy. It is still a different method, adopt the strategy of elite governance, and let the aristocrats only

Maintain honorary titles, including the greatest nobles in the empire.

"As far as the military is concerned, there are mostly reformists and few conservatives.

"As for the large aristocratic circles, there are many conservatives and fewer reformists. This is in line with their respective interests."

Artro frowned tightly, the largest noble in the empire, isn't that... His Majesty the Emperor?

In fact, he has long heard that among the elites in charge of various fields such as the empire's military, government, economy, culture, etc. - such as him, a big boss who is apparently retired but is actually still influencing the military behind the scenes, there is a reformist group and a conservative group.

group.

But he didn't expect that when he came into contact with this, he had no choice and already had a clear position.

He definitely wants to hang out with his third uncle.

"Third uncle, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this?"

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty doesn't know these things," the third uncle laughed, "On that table, two-fifths are occupied by the reformers, and three-fifths are occupied by the conservatives and those who maintain the status quo. I am new to this table.

In this circle, there were only one-fifth of the reformists."

"Growing so fast?"

"Many people have changed their minds," the third uncle said slowly. "The empire has existed for too long, and the system has been patched with countless patches. It is indeed unable to withstand the ideological impact of political systems such as the New Federation. Many of them have changed their minds.

The people will feel that the imperial system itself is evil, and only a democratic country will fully respect human rights."

Artro frowned slightly: "Then, what should we do?"

"It can't be done, or in other words, the time is far from mature."

Third uncle said slowly:

"The reformists have reached a bottleneck, because if you want to get to that table, you have to become a member of the Sherman family, and you will be bound by the imperial system.

"I am saying this to you today to make you sober and stable. You are too young. Even with His Majesty's protection, you cannot rise too fast. You must fully think about the overall situation of the empire before you can make a decision that is truly in line with your needs."

An act of imperial interest.

"Also, please help me bring a message to the white ghost."

"Say it!" Artero immediately grabbed the small notebook, "I'll write it down right now."

"Idiot! Can this be recorded in writing? Are you an intelligence agent?"

Artero could only laugh.

The third uncle grabbed the oxygen bottle and gave himself a few mouthfuls of relief before continuing: "You can convey it to him for me and let it settle for a few years. It might not be a good choice for him."

"It has been here for several years... I remember it all!"

"Then get out!"

The third uncle raised his crutch and wanted to hit someone:

"I'm so mad at you! If your mother hadn't entrusted you to me! I would be too lazy to care about you, you idiot!"

Artero just laughed and secretly turned off the call.

Then, he looked up at Yang Ming sitting in the corner and shrugged slightly: "You guessed it right, this is my third uncle's attitude."

Yang Ming wondered: "Did I just hear that you put all the blame on the white ghost Hanton?"

"do not mind the details."

Atero chuckled twice and took two red wine glasses. A floating ball flew over and automatically poured drinks into the glasses.

He approached Yang Ming with a sly smile on his face: "I heard that Her Highness Daphne spent the night in your room, the deputy director?"

"Well, is there a problem?"

Yang Ming calmly took the drink, lowered his head and took a sip, and said softly: "There were four maid robots you gave me at that time."

"Five, five?"

"As far as the quality of sleep last night was concerned, it was quite comfortable." Yang Ming told the truth.

Artero glanced at Yang Ming's waist and could only sigh in a low voice: "I want to transform myself. Hanton, you are also... a powerful transforming life form."

"Calm down," Yang Ming squinted and smiled, "Okay, let's continue to discuss how to trouble the nobles of the empire."

Artero sighed and slumped down on the sofa: "Then we can only collect criminal evidence of these nobles from other aspects. It is best to find a few people who are not popular and have wealthy families. This is the easiest way to get results and can also provide

The military provides a large amount of military expenditures, achieving multiple goals with one stone."

Yang Ming didn't say much, and sat slumped on the sofa with Artero, slowing down his thinking, refusing to think, and passing the time.

However, while the two of them were chatting here, a storm was brewing on the empire's network.

In Lu's thinking space, hundreds of clones were standing in front of various screens, typing on the keyboards in front of them quickly.

Dark Star Navy is online again.

And this time, the topic they want to hype is also very simple.

[The Empire’s local defense forces suffered huge military losses, and the collective corruption of the hereditary nobles].

Some things, once started, there is no reason to stop.

Of course, Yang Ming didn't have high expectations for this matter. The empire was like a high-pressure boiler. It was far from reaching its limit now. This kind of small thing just added a little more pressure to it.

Dark Star Base 3.

Hera lay tiredly in the rest cabin, adjusted her sleep parameters, and with the help of sleep aid gas, began to have four hours of efficient sleep.

This is what she is most dissatisfied with about her body.

It is really poor quality to be unable to carry out research work 24 hours a day.

However, not long after Hera lay down, she suddenly opened her eyes, the scattered pupils quickly converged, and her brows frowned tightly.

Great Queen, are you going to start upgrading your dimension?
