Standing on the small gentle slope by the mulberry sea, hearing that the young imperial officer beside him did not have a trace of anger, only a faint contempt and mockery, Xu Le's ink-thick eyebrows seemed to be provoked, but he finally regained his composure in a rapid cough.

"Decades have passed, and there is not much point in arguing about who started the war. Xu Le wore a silk shirt

, rubbed the periphery of the wound on the itchy shoulder, and suddenly said: "But if I'm not mistaken, it was you who insidiously blew up the Federation's research ship back then." ”

As to who caused this bloody and protracted cosmic war, and who should bear the responsibility for opening the demon box, both young and old historians in the Federation and the Empire have their own firm narratives, because the two sides are far apart, the war is raging, and the relationship between exchanges and isolation has not been too lively.

Huai Caoshi glanced at him coldly, and surprisingly did not express an opinion on this, but walked down the hill one after another, with his back to the city of Songhai.

Xu Le was a little reluctant to take one last look at the green mulberry forest like a sea, listened to those graceful rustles, and turned to follow.

......

......

Then Huai Caoshi went to several other places, and in the process, he remained silent. Xu Le didn't know the identity of this young imperial officer, and although he had some guesses in his heart, he lacked enough evidence, but now he could basically guess that this person's status in the empire was quite high.

So he didn't understand why this person wanted to take his own mortal prisoner and continue this absurd sightseeing tour, could it be that the Imperial people really just wanted the heroes created by the Federation to admit the crimes of the Federation in front of the entire universe?

If Xu Le knew about some of the movements under the surface of the imperial political arena, and if this imperial officer was really the legendary figure he had guessed, perhaps he would have been able to understand why the other party had deliberately delayed the date of returning to Tianjing.

In the afternoon, a strange procession of two skinny young men and hundreds of disguised plainclothes soldiers beside them arrived at Sangzhi State University in Lihansei.

According to the special decree of the Emperor that year, Lihanxing became an administrative planet within the empire that implemented indiscriminate education, that is, on this planet, whether you are a nobleman or a commoner, or even the lowest serf, as long as your children work hard enough and are good enough, you can get a fair chance of education, and even the best people can also get special scholarships provided by the royal family.

This plan was called a pilot of interracial education, and as soon as it was launched, it aroused the angry opposition of the entire imperial aristocracy, and whenever they thought that they were the thirty-eighth generation heir of the Glory Family, who was going to study in a classroom with the son of such and such a mud leg, the imperial nobles felt that they had asked some kind of fishy smell, and felt that their dignity had been greatly humiliated, as a nobleman, how could they live with those commoners, even slaves?

In this matter, the emperor first appeased the rule class in a gentle way and suppressed the untouchables in a bloody way, showing surprising persistence and strength. Under the strong suppression of the Emperor, the nobles of the Imperial Senate looked at the soldiers at the door and the officials of the Royal Intelligence Service, and reluctantly passed the law, confirming Lihanxing as a pilot area for interracial education.

Rao was so, when the son of the first serf walked into the gate of the Huangshanji Academy with a nervous face on his face, he still needed the protection of the armed imperial soldiers.

On the same day, the dean of Huangshanji Academy resigned angrily, and in the next thought, the nobles on the Lihan Star sent their descendants to other planets, and they would rather spend a huge amount of wealth than their children to receive a pure aristocratic education, rather than the bad behavior of His Majesty the Emperor on the whims of the Emperor on the Lihan Star.

For the sake of the wealth generated by the territory, these nobles themselves will certainly not leave Lihan, but this will not change a certain trend - as more and more commoner children enter the new universities, the atmosphere in the air of this planet is becoming more and more lively, or dangerous. Of course, these young people, who have become more capable and self-confident because they have been relieved of more knowledge, are extremely loyal and fanatical to His Majesty the Emperor, who has given them all this.

In the center of the first floor, the largest building at Sangzhi State University, hangs a huge portrait of His Majesty the Emperor, and every time students pass by, they immediately stop the heated academic debate and stand up and salute with a solemn face.

Xu Le withdrew his gaze to look at the portrait, listening to the quarrel from behind, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, his imperial Chinese was not good, he could only barely hear that the students seemed to be discussing the issue of engine output power monitoring, the degree of discussion was still relatively shallow, but he still felt a strong vigilance, you know, in the Federation, no one could have imagined that in the Imperial University, there could be so many civilian students discussing academic issues in a relaxed atmosphere.

He had always believed that the Federation's greatest advantage over the Empire was not the economy, but education, technology, and the most fundamental way of thinking, and now the Empire seemed to be quietly making changes, and with the Empire's terrifying population base, it might not be too difficult to catch up with this gap.

Huai Caoshi noticed his frowning brow, and remained silent with a blank face, and at this point he walked up to the third floor.

A history lesson was being held in the conference room at the top of the third floor, and hundreds of young men of the empire, dressed plainly, were quietly and hungrily listening to the professors on the podium.

The courseware playback equipment, the progressive scanning and filtering light curtain, and the laser dot pen are a little shabby in Xu Le's eyes, not to mention that compared with the First Military Academy or Ewha University, even compared with the university conditions in her hometown Donglin, the empire is much behind.

But he listened attentively, for the Imperial professor was emotionally lecturing on the causes of the war so many years ago, and the professor was using standard Imperial aristocratic language, and he could barely understand most of it.

The professor of history at Sangzhi State University did not know that there were two more young listeners with special status in the crowd listening to the lecture today, and he did not expect that the history taught at the moment would have any impact on future history, he just told the young people of the empire about the cruelty and insidiousness of the Commonwealth according to the standard textbook drawn up by the Imperial Royal Education Agency.

"For a confederation of shameless politicians controlled by businessmen, what would make them wage a long war at the expense of huge military expenditures? ”

The professor waved the laser pointer on his finger in an emotional way, and the red dots of light danced rapidly across the ceiling of the conference room, like the heroic dance of the most common silkworm moth on the planet before it died.

"It's profit! Only profit-driven can make this businessman consortium crazy. Only the crystal ore can maintain their wireless degree star field expansion, thereby alleviating the deep internal contradictions!"

"Two hundred years ago, the Federation's crystal ore resources were close to exhaustion, and there were only two paths in front of them, one was to find or develop new alternative energy sources as soon as possible, or they would immediately find new crystal ore resources, otherwise their crystal-based space vehicles would all be paralyzed, and all space weapons would fail, in other words, the Federation could collapse at any time. ”

However, the Federation has spent more than a hundred years, and they have not found new crystal ore resources, and these times that could have been used to develop new energy sources have also been wasted. Why? Because one of the merchants who controlled the federal power had the legal right to mine the crystalline resources, and by virtue of that power they made a great deal of profit. If the Federation develops a new type of energy, the special status of this family will be lost, and they will not be able to allow this to happen. ”

"Why would the federal government allow this to happen? Because you should never forget that the government is actually in the hands of these families. ”

"The Federation has crystal mines, and the empire has crystal mines, and when those few Federation exploration ships that should be cursed come to the empire by mistake and discover this fact, war can no longer be avoided. ”

"The robbers came to the door, they didn't need a reason to rob, then what we could do, what we had to do was simple. ”

The history professor lost his initial calm, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "Kill these robbers." ”

......

......

Xu Le had no doubt that if his identity as a member of the Federation was known, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the hundreds of angry Imperial students in the conference room in the next moment. Fortunately, his black hair and black eyes were the same as the Imperial officer beside him, although they were somewhat eye-catching, they attracted a slightly awe-inspiring gaze.

After listening to this history lesson, Xu Le followed the other party out of the campus, and he was silent for a moment at the door, and made a rare request, asking for a cigarette.

In a cloud of smoke, he said to the Imperial officer, "It's very similar to our history class over there. The history books I've read about this passage say that the emperor went to war in order to alleviate the racial and class tensions within you. ”

Silence and cigarettes are good companions for thinking, and the reason for thinking is because Xu Le must admit that this imperial history lesson is indeed another perspective for him to look at the origin of the war back then, especially the statement that crystal mines caused the war, which he has heard for the first time.

The family that can control the government is naturally the Tai family in Mochou Houshan.

"Schiller said that people have their own rights and wrongs. He snuffed out the cigarette, clenched it in his fist, looked at the black-haired imperial officer and said, "And I'm not a saint, although I'm afraid of death, I'm not too afraid of death, so ...... You don't have to expect me to defect. ”wW
