Chapter 473 Lu Zhi’s guilty conscience

This video of the Sherman family meeting that Li gave me is quite interesting.

Professor Hua Moli had already woken up. Yang Ming used the excuse to help Hua Moli get some breakfast, left the suite and found a safe passage where no one was around, and then clicked on the video.

The audio is automatically transferred to the hidden headphones.

Here is part of the Sherman Family Roundtable.

So, Li has been monitoring these old things?

Yang Ming was a little alert, and several thoughts came to his mind. After thinking about it carefully, he temporarily suppressed the doubts caused by these thoughts.

Just as he told Lu, Li took the initiative to ask them to cooperate. They had no conditions to refuse for the time being, but everything required more preparations.

For example, Yang Ming is always ready to run for his life, and He Li confronts him head-on.

Watch the video content first.

At the beginning of the picture, several younger members of the Sherman family [elites] who were the same generation as Director Ino were having a heated debate.

Daphne lowered her head and sat next to Director Ino. There was a very familiar figure of Yang Ming further away.

The old emperor was listening.

"We must carry out large-scale repression! Now only a show of force can suppress the people!"

"If you show force again, the people will directly rebel!"

"Rebellion? Do they have ships? Do they have ion cannons? Do they have shaped charges? The empire's military strength is enough to suppress any rebellion!"

"These people who execute our orders also come from the people. Some of your views are too radical. This country is a collective. Even if we sit at the top, we cannot ignore the will of this collective!"

"The people have no ability to judge. They now stubbornly believe that we killed the white ghost."

"First, the White Ghost is not dead at all! He is still alive! Second, the people's anger against the empire is essentially dissatisfaction with the system. The White Ghost just provides a channel for venting!"

"Then what do you think we should do? Instead of suppressing them with force, let them cause chaos like this?"

"Actually, there is a more difficult problem... If White Phantom suspects that we attacked him, then in a year or two, when he regains his strength..."

The round table meeting suddenly fell silent.

They were afraid.

The white ghost himself felt the fear of these old people towards him, so he buttoned his nose with satisfaction.

"On the Ultimate Deterrence of Individual Soldiers".

Director Ino asked in a deep voice: "Is it really not our order?"

A group of old people look at me and I look at you. They can only make sure that they did not give the order. They cannot be sure whether others did it or not.

"Yes, we planted a shaped charge."

One of the four elders of the military said slowly:

"But this shaped charge bomb was placed in the White Ghost Lounge. According to the data we collected a few milliseconds before the countdown to the explosion, the explosion energy initially appeared from the power room, and the energy released by this explosion was far away.

It exceeds the shaped charge we buried in advance.

"I know some of you won't believe it, but the fact is that we didn't kill the white ghost... We didn't kill his body."

Director Ino nodded slowly: "In other words, there is a fourth force... Daphne, do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, uncle."

Daphne slowly raised her head, revealing her beautiful face and her eyes that were so firm that even Boss Yang felt a little scared.

She seems to be different from before.

Daphne said:

"Hanton is my fiancé, so I can be considered a half-sufferer, and I will make some complaints and criticisms to you here... If you elders feel that what I said is wrong, please understand my mood at the moment.

“You said before that Hanton’s motives were impure and highly purposeful, and he wanted to destroy the existing political ecology of the empire.

"But I want to ask, what good does this do to him?

"What elders are best at, isn't it to use your own heart to judge the hearts of others? From your perspective, what can Hanton gain by doing this? Power? Wealth? How can he satisfy his own needs after getting these?

Desire? Hanton is not a fallen aristocrat. He does not have much pursuit of power. I can tell you why he has been secretly competing with our family.

"Because he feels that it is abnormal for the empire to have a shadow cabinet composed of relatives of the emperor and his relatives, which makes his faith on the verge of being shattered.

"Yes, you can even think that it was Hanton who deliberately allowed himself to be bombed to cause large-scale unrest in the empire, and that he later deliberately hid and did not show up in order to continue to heat up public sentiment.

"But I want to ask you... was he the one who planted the bomb? From the collective perspective of the empire, did he do anything wrong before the bombing? What kind of crime did he commit? What kind of crime did he commit?

Which law of the empire did he violate? Why do you have to put him to death? Is it because he threatens your rule?

“The people’s anger is not only because their heroes suffered such treatment, but also because of your endless manipulation of power and your arrogance!

"Is it really that difficult to abide by the rules you have set? You stand outside the law, outside the state system, and act arbitrarily. This is the root cause of the current turmoil!"

"That's enough Daphne!"

An old man said with a cold face: "You have no place to speak here, get out!"

Director Ino said slowly: "Now the only one who can possibly prevent the White Ghost from taking revenge on us is her."

Daphne stood up to leave the meeting, and an old man immediately spoke:

"What Daphne said is actually not a big problem. Some of the things in the past are because we are too arrogant in our hearts.

"Okay Daphne, sit down.

"We must solve two problems now. The first is to quell the unrest, and the second is to find Hanton's reserved cells."

Director Ino reminded: "Hanton should be in the state of a child now."

"Daphne," an old man asked, "are you willing to come forward to appease the people? As the white ghost wife."

Daphne simply said: "No, great-grandfather."

"Why?"

"Because this is a useless effort," Daphne said, "I will apologize ten thousand times. Why don't you introduce a few representatives to sincerely apologize to the people and return most of the power to the normal power structures of the empire."

"Daphne, don't be too presumptuous."

"oops!"

The old emperor sitting far away laughed and said:

"We are all a family. Daphne is in a bad mood right now. Please tolerate and understand each other. She is still young and ignorant."

Director Eno said: "The Sherman family's apology to the people is a good way to express the empire's respect for public opinion."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

An old man shouted:

"The ballast of the empire is the army. As long as the army is not in chaos, there will be no local problems! If they cause trouble again, the energy supply and food supply will be cut off!

"We need to tame the people and then beautify our authority!"

"Wouldn't the army mutiny if we do this?"

"We cannot directly control the Levi fleet. This is the real core problem!"

"Damn it! The white ghost has shaken the sense of faith of the army soldiers. It will take us decades to repair it!"

"The Imperial Guard system is not responding. We might as well let Imperial Guard 2 enter the Imperial network in advance."

"Emperor Guard 2 has not passed the final test, and there is still a risk of collapse..."

The video stopped abruptly.

Yang Ming was still not satisfied with what he saw.

The old emperor reached some kind of agreement with Director Ino and some of the 'young' elites of the Sherman family?

It is obvious that, driven by the external force of the empire's overall crisis, an evolution of power is taking place on this round table, and the result of this evolution is just the transfer of the scepter from the hands of some old bones to the hands of other old people.

There will be no change in properties.

Yang Ming didn't have any opinions on this. Instead, he became more at ease with the fact that he had caused chaos throughout the empire.

Only by dismantling this round table can the political reform of the empire be considered.

But what Yang Ming wants is far more than that.

Yang Ming was slightly surprised by Daphne's performance, but after he figured it out, he could only laugh.

She is just a vested interest.

But Yang Ming could also feel that there was a high probability that she really fell in love with White Ghost, which would be an extremely difficult emotional issue to deal with in the future.

Ah, I wish I could have held back then...
