Chapter 110: Choice

Interests, the world is changing, only interests are eternal. Everyone now knows that the Dawn Regiment holds the best interests of the new galaxy in their hands.

Many believe that the Auroiders have no ambition to build a vast empire and incorporate the entire new galaxy into their territory - this is not fantasy, but a fact-based inference.

Because in the world of Mass Effect, when the Dawn defeated the Reapers, they had every chance of creating a nation that spanned the galaxy - but they refused. Not only that, but the Dawn Regiment even took countless steps back, transforming itself into a semi-public welfare organization, sharing a large number of benefits. After the war, those countries were able to quickly carry out economic transformation and get out of the trough, and the contribution of the Dawn Regiment was indispensable.

So the conquered nations of the New Galaxy, after careful analysis, find that the consequences of conquest seem to be less serious - the political goal of the group is more inclined to build an organization that acts as a referee, sets standards, and has a lot of value, rather than being a player themselves.

This is actually very powerful, which shows that the leader of the Dawn Regiment is still in his mind.

Many people have come to this point (when they have the opportunity to build a vast empire) without being able to resist the urge to build a "great cause that will not be easy to achieve through the ages". However, "its rise is also vigorous, and its demise is also sudden", and it is just like the collapse of a powerful country that was suddenly established.

This was not visible at the time of the conquest, everything was hidden under the slogan of romance and progress, and the soldiers stepped on the rose petals to win victory after victory. But when the war reaches the end of the world and all enemies are defeated, the mode of the empire will have to switch from "conquest" to "domination". And then all the contradictions that have accumulated before - class contradictions, national contradictions, army contradictions, institutional contradictions...... Wait, it burst out in one go, and the huge empire fell apart in an instant......

Even if it barely survives, is there an empire that has existed in this world for 10,000 years? Oh, you said Mona, there is a god behind Mona.

In this case, it is better to take a step back, bundle up some visible interests and contradictions, and only maintain your own core area. There is no 10,000-year-old empire in the world, but there is a 10,000-year-old organization. An organization will never be destroyed as long as its core ideas are not outdated.

And a proper division of interests can also unite those countries. What's more, this war has come to an end, and every member of the Dawn Regiment has a lot of credits in their hands waiting to be cashed out......

The reason why all this is said is that all the Legion of the Dawn and its mercenaries and conscripts are facing the same question today - to embrace death, or to embrace profit.

*****

"Death, of course," said the old orc, smoking a cigar, cheerfully, "only a green skin that dies in battle is a good green skin." ”

“aaaah~!!!” There was a howl of ghosts and wolves in the bar.

- Then the green-skinned orcs were the first to sign up, and the whole process took less than ten seconds.

No hesitation, no arguments, no sadness. They just drank and laughed about how to die in battle, completely dismissive of the signing. Ground warfare, how can we do without our green skins? Uncle Greenskin's big axe is already hungry and thirsty!

……

The next sign up was 10,000 Misaka sisters, and it only took a minute before and after.

They have their own network of Misaka, and information can be exchanged at the speed of light, so they can agree on it very quickly.

"The cost of Misaka is only 180,000 yen, so you can throw one away. Misaka 9527 pretended to be cute and said, and uploaded the body data and backup memories recorded in detail by Misaka to the host, especially hoping that the record of the cup must not be wrong. Commander Misaka explained to the registrar and solemnly pointed out the main points.

The registrar forced himself not to say: Shouldn't you care about the average height of the Misaka Legion compared to your breasts?

……

The third one who signed up, no one expected that it would be a multinational joint conscription corps!

Maybe it's because they don't have the benefit of resurrection after death in the first place, so they don't care much about dying in the last battle or something. Of course, in a political sense, only the blood that comes together can forge the closest relationship - it can be an enemy or a comrade-in-arms.

Then there are the mercenaries from the world of Mass Effect - some of them retired soldiers from the four races, as well as mercenary warriors from the likes of Krogan and Batarui - now all under Shepard's command. These are professional fighters, some have lived on battleships all their lives, and they will not know anything but to fight.

The long peace in the world of Mass Effect has deprived them of a source of livelihood, and the expedition across the world has given them a new chance. Their goal is to make enough money from the war, so of course they will not refuse to fight. Death or something, when the Reaper invaded, it was a hundred million deaths, and it had long been numb.

When both the Mercenaries and the Levies sign up, the number of soldiers is instantly full!

The opponent only has 20 million people, and now the number of offensive places is not enough, but the geth group has come together to add to the chaos. The geth are now the main crew of the Dawn Regiment, as they can seamlessly connect with the ship's main engine. No one expected that these artificial intelligences would also come over and want a piece of the pie. But the geth had a simple reason, they wanted to prove that they were also part of the Dawn.

The geth did not want to establish a separate state after the war, believing that the leadership of the Dawn was important to the evolution of the geth as a whole. If he could, Geth would like to live forever on the Dawn, and the treatment doesn't matter, just give electricity.

It's hard to refuse.

That's when people really feel that there is a lot of talent in the Dawn Legion! Heroes of the Savior level alone can turn over half a dozen, and military geniuses are even more powerful. The people who lead the squad are all combat heroes, and only a colonel-level officer can lead a brigade...... Such an army is really speechless.

But at this time, people suddenly discovered that the group that had not yet expressed its position was actually left with only 4 million people in the "immigration group......

Excuse me? You tease me, shouldn't they be the first to take a stand?

*****

At this moment, in another conference hall inside the Fortress of Dawn, the atmosphere was so gloomy that it could wring out water.

In the conference room, there were Rita Sang Yaning, Ai Guodong, Ai Guoliang and others familiar to the Dawn Troupe, as well as some unfamiliar faces. As in previous meetings, they were elected representatives from a pool of four million immigrants, each representing a number of groups.

It is worth noting that Mu Xing, who was supposed to have an absolute position in the immigrant group, did not appear at this meeting.

"This is not our war at all! We all know that Captain Lu is just trying to save the man who is locked behind the wall, and has nothing to do with us, so why should he give us his life? Everyone said that this is not the truth. ”

"Can you make a face when you say that?" Ai Guodong sneered bitterly, "Before the Dawn, humans were insects that anyone could crush to death!" Why are you talking so much here? Lu Yuan's purpose is to save people, that's right. But you're not getting any benefit from that? Humans don't get a living space from it? You said it had nothing to do with you, okay! If you go out now and say that you don't want all your benefits, no one will force you to go to war! Don't step on the horse and be a bitch, but also the archway! ”

"We'll have to volunteer! We are not slaves of his land! Besides, how can you say that the harvest is all because of him? The Dawn is ours, we are equivalent to the shareholders who took the Dawn as a shareholder, and everything he has obtained now has our shares in it! ”

"Hehe~ Okay!" Ai Guodong simply gave a thumbs up, "You cow!" With such confidence, why don't you go to heaven? Believe it or not, it only takes three minutes for the Dawn Regiment to turn around, and it will be able to build you an identical Dawn and return it to you. Return of shares...... I'll give you two words, hehe! ”

"You think I didn't think of that? We're not without certainty. You won't forget, the fortress beneath my feet is a conversion of the original Dawn...... Lady Dawn, but the host of this fortress! No matter how the world changes, Ms. Dawn will definitely be on our side! Is there a problem? ”

The conference room fell silent, and several people quietly exchanged glances, obviously quite moved.

"It's not okay, if you do it at this time, it will make the Dawn Regiment hate us for the rest of our lives......" someone whispered.

"Vote!" Someone decisively ordered, but Ai Guodong did not stop it. A moment later, 1.1 million against 2.7 million, 200,000 abstained, Ai Guodong and they lost, and there was no suspense at all.

"What do you say?" The person who suggested it earlier leaned back in his seat proudly and asked Ai Guodong.

"I never promised you anything about voting," Ai Guodong stood up with his hat on, along with Ai Guoliang and Rita Sanyanin. His voice rang out in this room, and in the ears of all who were in attendance. "I'm a human being, and I know what shame is and what gratitude is. So from the beginning we were not comrades, we were not even a class of people, we were just on the same boat.

Since everyone has different paths, let's go their own way...... In the second round of voting, all those who follow me agree to part ways with the immigration group in the future! ”

……

There were no more heated conflicts, no more bickering.

After a silent vote, 710,000 people finally chose to follow Ai Guodong and others to leave, and most of them were researchers from Muxing Laboratory. The two sides signed a series of agreements, involving secrecy and other aspects, and eventually a peaceful split......

When it comes to secession, most immigrants don't seem to care much.

When Ai Guodong and the others left, the rest of the people immediately began to discuss the next plan fiercely, including how to use Lady Dawn to kidnap Dawn Fortress and then start negotiations with the Dawn Regiment. Gain the power to build a nation by spending credits, and more...... They even prepared the site for the new kingdom and made a new star map! Apparently it was not a day or two that had been prepared.

They knew that Lady Dawn was listening—the entire fortress was under her watch—but they didn't care. Because they are convinced that the AI host will give everything to immigrants, and that is her mission......
