There is a discipline in political science known as "political mechanics". At the university in Alfheim, there are also specialized books dedicated to this emerging subject.

To put it simply, it is a doctrine that analyzes political behavior and principles in the same way as the laws of analytical physics, and holds that the rules of classical physics are equally applicable to political operations.

Let's not talk about whether this idea is a major discovery like the three laws of mechanics, or a brainstorm like the Chicago School of Economics. At least at this moment, Roland is personally feeling the force from all sides.

The document in front of him was a list of several Celestial Crystals' storage, and the flowers belonging to different departments were particularly dazzling in the dim light.

"That's all the 'off-the-books' that the Army, the Navy, and the local civil services have on hand — that's what they say. ”

Spat out the sarcasm she could, Valrhona put the list back in her hand, her brow twitching slightly.

Just like when the oil is stored, the oil at the bottom of the tank cannot be drained, but if you try to take out the bottom oil and concentrate it, it is still a considerable amount of "off-book oil". Charlemagne's various branches and departments also had a large number of off-books stores that did not exist on the books for various reasons. From the management level, this belongs to the gray area of the eyes and the eyes are closed, even if there are civilian officials who do not open their eyes to check the accounts, the military can send the civilian officials back to their hometowns with a sentence of "military secrets", if there are still people who are not interested, then there may be soldiers shouting "seven lives to serve the country" and "respect the king to beg for adultery" to come to the door to "punish the country thief".

Roland has a little bit of a point for the military to privately conceal the real data of combat readiness storage, which is not to say that Charlemagne's army and navy have not done a good job of secrecy and espionage prevention, but the objects of their prevention have always been their own people. For example, in the bottomless pit on Kuah Island, the navy covered the on-site intelligence tightly, patting its chest to ensure that there were only 2 to 3,000 ghost animals on the island, including non-combatants. As a result, when the army went up, there were nearly 7,000 pointy-eared ghost animals, not to mention, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons were readily available, squatting in the fortifications waiting for Uncle Charlemagne to come and send the head. Angry, the Minister of War pointed to a senior naval officer at the joint meeting and scolded "the military is not," "the tactics do not understand," and "the navy red deer are all non-nationals."

In any case, the military has done a very thorough job of keeping its own people secret. As to whether secrecy is effective for Alfheim...... Anyway, every time Charlemagne's army's stamped documents stamped "classified" were not delivered to their counterparts, Stacy had already filed a copy of the exact same content.

Leave that alone, what is hidden behind this number is what triggers Valrhona's anger.

It is true that the pressure of the battle situation and the Crown Prince's assistance and command are important reasons for the military to come up with the pressure box treasure, but this batch of Celestial Crystals, which are even several bases higher than the official standard storage, can not be prepared in a short time. This involves several departments, as well as special planning for conveying and handling. The reason why it was in place at once was that it must have been prepared before the order was in place, and it was clear who would take over this batch of supplies.

As long as they are silent, they will still not know that there are still so many Celestial Crystals, and this batch of materials will continue to lie in the warehouse and accumulate dust. The "non-existent" material has only come into existence because of a balancing force called "shirking responsibility".

That's right, the upper echelons of the army did not believe that the operation could be successful at all. It's just a posture of doing your best to create an excuse for failure in advance. All the magicians and material support are just tools that are used to make the army "do its best", paving the way for those nobles to escape accountability.

"These things are much more important than the outcome of the war, 'just the commoners,' 'why doesn't this guy respect us?', 'how can the commoners be above the nobility?' ”

The spider was indifferently sarcastic, what seemed to others was simply unbelievable, but in her opinion, she had taken over the work of not seeing the light for a long time, it was just a daily farce.

"In the final analysis, the existence of aristocracy, accumulated from generation to generation, has become the focus of the country. Those old men and adults, all of them are patients, I'm not talking about the physiological level, those people are all sick at the mental level and have holes in their brains. All of them have a self-esteem that is extremely excessive and more easily shattered than glass, and they think that they are great beings, but they will never remember that others have been kind to them. How could these cautious guys honestly accept the reality of a 'civilian girl' commanding themselves?"

The technological innovation and wealth brought by the consortium did bring great changes to Charlemagne, and in the process of expansion, it also killed many nobles who could not see the situation clearly, and even promoted the commoner class to enter the government institutions. But that's about it.

The country is still ruled by a privileged group centered on the royal family and linked by blood, marriage, and interests. The so-called change is nothing more than replacing some civil officials and magician aristocrats who cannot keep up with the times with military aristocrats. They cannot accept the reality that various ideas and diverse values are beginning to sprout in all corners of the world, nor can they perceive the great changes of the times, let alone change themselves to adapt to the changes of the times.

Therefore, in the current situation, it is obvious what kind of choice these guys who are full of jealousy and wisdom to protect their lives.

"It's okay to face the monster in Alfheim head-on, but it's disgusting to think that there are such a bunch of guys behind it. ”

"Anyway, we're thankful that they can send this batch of resources at this critical time. As for the back-"

The blue-white light flashed, and the slender fingers grabbed the military coat and draped it over her shoulders, and the majestic girl lifted the curtain of the field tent and said:

"We'll have a lot of time to discuss when this battle is over. ”

A solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire field camp, people in different uniforms rushed back and forth, shouting and roaring, the flashes of mana and the roar of machinery interrupted the arguments from time to time, and a large number of assembled vehicles rushed to their destinations, unloading the goods as quickly as possible and rushing to the next location, and the people who had been temporarily summoned here were ushering in a decisive battle with chaotic order.

As if sensing Roland out of the tent, William van der Mms ran over with a stack of paper.

“...... So far, two tests have been carried out, and nothing has been found so far. If you can, it's best to test it again, and in any case it's a patchwork of picked up wreckage. Just two tests are not enough to be safe. There was another one who didn't even do the test, but just improvised, using the theory he had heard for the first time. It's really ...... in terms of safety and security."

"Anyway, there is only one chance to shoot, and I don't expect to be reused, as long as I can fly over the target. ”

Deliberately staggered his gaze not to meet the sighing and questioning eyes of the De Mons technician, but the self-blame in his heart still couldn't be avoided.

His own answer was completely strong.

The will of the chief should not override the technical workflow. In layman's terms, it is better for the layman not to instruct the insider.

This is a universal truth, and the history of the development of technology, which has been bloodshed, has amply proved it. In practice, however, it is not uncommon for the will of the chief to force the operation process bypass, and the reason for this is that political considerations and strategic needs prevail over scientific theories and safety regulations.

This time seems to be no exception.

But now there is no turning back, not even a second of leisurely leisure. What is the safety test safely and steadily, from the theoretical basis to the operation of each component, the operation of system integration, the actual firing experiment, and the device tuning...... Don't even think about this kind of work that can't be avoided. The enemy, and the people who were staring at the side and waiting for the result, would not be tolerant enough to give Roland such time.

Either unite to win, or ascend to Valhalla with a smile, there are only two paths in front of the young man.
