Chapter 276: Before the Speech
Heiliga's question relates to the handling of Crossbell after the end of the war.
Although it was a bit early to put this question on the agenda, Heiliga felt that it was a good test question. Judging from the students' answers to Heiliga's first question, their understanding of these things is still good, and they are not confused by the superficial chaos and information, but have their own judgments and empathetic understanding.
It's just that for this second question, as soon as Helriga asked it, they already understood what Helriga meant.
Once a large-scale internal conflict breaks out in the empire, it will inevitably be in a long period of war until the problem is resolved. And after the end of the war, whether the aristocracy or the reformers are in power, they will inevitably be left with a country that has been exhausted in the civil war - in this case, in order to quickly restore the economy and infrastructure, the easiest way is to change the domestic income situation, support some financial oligarchs, quickly establish a new economic system, and at the same time increase taxes in all aspects to quickly make up for the deficit left after the war, and the other way is to suck blood from other places around.
In this respect, Crossbell is undoubtedly the most suitable target. First of all, in any case, it was Crossbell's actions that led to a large-scale riot in the empire, which even Crossbell himself could not deny, although this was inevitable, but to catch up is to catch up - plus the empire was originally one of Crossbell's suzerains, and it was reasonable to move westward after the end of the civil war and annex this disobedient vassal state. In fact, if it weren't for the setback at the Garelian Fortress and the special result caused by the reappearance of the "Arcana" power, there would have been many people in the Empire who even felt that Crossbell's actions were originally planned by the Empire in order to create an excuse for the Empire to annex Crossbell - plus the people of the Empire would inevitably complain about Crossbell at that time, such an action could have happened.
Although they have grown up and experienced, and they can see through this point of view and consciousness that are stronger than ordinary people, but the rest of the imperial people, especially those ordinary people with a large base, may not have this awareness. That's the question Helliga wants to ask, and it's what Oliebart has always wanted to emphasize.
"You can understand this, and it already shows that those special internships are not in vain...... It's just that in the next era, what to do is really troublesome. Even I can only seek self-preservation. Heiliga shrugged his shoulders, Olibat's painstaking efforts, he only now felt deeply.
Although it is still early, these young people are all representatives of all walks of life in the future. If such a seed can be planted in their hearts, things will be easier in the future.
Neither a complete restoration of a backward and corrupt aristocracy, nor the acceptance of Prime Minister Osborne's radical plan of change, seemed to be the best thing for the country. How do you strike a balance between the two? This is a very difficult problem to solve. Class VII would be one of the possible answers.
"It's rare that you can be so sincere and tell us what you really think." Jusses looked at Hyliga half-jokingly, half-teasingly, "It's just, what the hell are those two people doing at this time......" Jusses looked at the last two empty spots.
Chloe ...... It's not uncommon for seniors to skip class. "Or is it that Marchias is still a little unaccustomed to calling Chloe by his first name, "Or is he already completing his credit replenishment and returning to his second year?" ”
"No...... He said he would stay until the end of the month. Rien shook his head, he had the best relationship with Chloe among the people present, "I don't know much about Miriam's situation. ”
"Did you get called back by the Intelligence Bureau?" Alyssa was puzzled, and everyone remembered that after a long time together, they had forgotten about Miriam a little.
"Although she is like that, she is also a spy of the Intelligence Bureau." Fei spread his hands and said.
"Say what?" A lively voice interrupted everyone's speculation. It turned out to be Sarah Instructor - long overdue as usual.
"Want to start mentor time?" Emma, the squad leader, took the initiative to ask.
"I'm sorry, today's tutor time has been temporarily canceled, and I have been staying in the college for self-study before school, or returning to the dormitory to wait for instructions." Instructor Sarah smiled wryly, "Well, but I don't think anyone will miss it." ”
“…… Prime Minister Osborne's speech is today. Heiliga closed her eyes and thought, what could have caused the school to react like this? Of course, it could only be a critical moment for the Erebonian Empire to face the chaos that followed. 、
"Yes." Sarah, like her classmates, was not surprised at how Hyliga knew, "Today at noon, Prime Minister Osborne will be in Drekers Square, giving a speech to the entire Erebonian Empire. ”
The "......" students exchanged glances with each other, and everything was silent.
"Since it's a nationwide broadcast, it's natural to need equipment like a guide radio." Heiliga shrugged, "All the broadcasting bureaus in the country, whether official or local, government or private, should be adjusted to the same channel at that time." ”
"Yes. The school has put in place the equipment to ensure that every classroom, every class, has a radio to listen to the radio. Instructor Sarah nodded, "Of course, not mandatory...... If any of you are not interested in these declarations, you can go back to your dorm room and rest...... It's all voluntary. ”
No one moved.
"Well, I knew it was going to be like this." Instructor Sarah shrugged, "Only, Miriam and Chloe...... Well, if they don't want to come, there's no way around it. ”
"Do you want to ...... Looking for them? "It's still some time before the scheduled speech starts." ”
"That's fine...... It's just that you have to watch the time and don't miss the speech. Sarah nodded.
"I'm going out to get some air, too." Heliga said, in fact, to make final preparations. He himself was nervous like never before, and the hand holding the charm in his hand trembled a little.
"Martha and Garcia...... You two don't have a problem. ”
