From a distance, it looks like a large sea turtle, and up close it looks like 5 pairs of drive wheels.

This is Roland's most intuitive impression of the "special two-style internal fireboat", and it is also most people's impression of this kind of dog's head hanging on the "boat", which is essentially a train.

In order to highlight the characteristics of the "boat" as much as possible, and learn from the experience of the failed special fire boats, the special two internal fire boats are designed to be very streamlined, and this shape close to the bottom of the boat will reduce the resistance encountered head-on when driving, which not only plays a positive role in normal driving, but also helps to meet the special requirements of "appalling" such as wading or even underwater driving. In order to meet the above-mentioned unbelievable ideas, the train carriages have also been specially modified, and the sealing and pressure resistance measures are quite complete. The cost of manufacturing rose sharply, with the cost of a special type 2 fireboat with carriages enough to produce five Class 52 locomotives and hundreds of first-class passenger carriages, and in order to adhere to the concept of "naval supremacy", the production of this special locomotive was all done by the shipyard of Saint-Nazaire, and so far only two trains have been built in the whole of Charlemagne.

To provide such high-end and high-grade equipment to meet the travel of the condolence group, it is enough to show that the trip is highly valued, the platform has been occupied with high-ranking officials and representatives from all walks of life, inside and outside the railway station is filled with a crowd of people waving small flags and cheering, in addition to the enthusiastic patriots and citizens who sincerely wish their relatives a safe return, there are many people who are rushing to the name of "beautiful girl condolence group" to feast their eyes, obscene whistles and enthusiastic cheers mixed together, constantly hitting the glass of the Orsay railway station.

The admirals and colonels who were present today to attend the departure ceremony of the condolence group were all in good spirits, Roland noticed. These people's eyes were wandering back and forth between the "inner fireboat" and the army officer, their expressions were stern and serious, and the corners of their mouths were sneering. The army side was gloomy and silent, and if you look closely, you will find that their sleeves with hidden fists are shaking, and some people are still counting their wheels......

Obviously, the generals and colonels of the army finally recalled the horror of being oppressed by the budget of 5 pairs of wheels and the humiliation of being meddled by the navy on land, which was a stern provocation and humiliation of the despicable navy against the great army, which the army must return with color. But now is not the right time to fight back, and they will have to be patient for a while. The Army's "Water Beast Take-off and Landing Platform" will be completed. By that time......

Seeing that the two gangs were not showing signs over there, Roland could only sigh, the battle between the military branches is not entirely a bad thing, but tossing to this point is sick. Gotta take medicine. But these two groups of people made it clear that they would give up treatment...... He had no choice but to shift his gaze from the two groups of black-eyed chickens to the podium.

The cardinal is talking about the importance of the present war. Although it is all official articles. But it's a good presentation, at least there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that the Prime Minister's popularity is really not good, including the king. The vast majority of people just kept their positions with sacred and solemn expressions and sloppy eyes, and as for how much Archbishop Lai's speech was listened to, I am afraid that only the mother goddess knows.

However, this state is also coming to an end.

As Richelieu's concluding words "The great and glorious camp of humanity will triumph, long live our sacred faith and our country", thunderous applause rang out, scattered minds returned to the right track, and everyone cheered up and stared at the semi-circular shaped podium.

A young girl in a dress appears in the eye.

Almost immediately, the noise of the platform disappeared, and then the invisible force that brought people into a state of silence spread like ripples, first to the platform, then to the waiting hall, and finally to the boiling voices outside the square.

The people around the platform all lowered their bodies automatically, the princes and nobles, the priests and soldiers, and the representatives of society all bowed slightly, and although the people outside did not know the situation, they could also feel as if they were in the sanctuary and received a spiritual cleansing.

"She" is coming.

I couldn't see it, but my heart told the crowd, as if I saw a light step approaching the podium.

A girl who has no blemish, has not been stained with any defilement, and serves the Mother Goddess wholeheartedly as a representative of humanity.

"Thank you, Charlemagne. ”

In the silence, a gentle and holy voice echoed in the station, dressed in a white silk robe and a golden crown on her head, the girl crossed her chest and raised her hands slightly.

"Thank you to all those who have gathered here for faith, happiness, peace, and a good thing. ”

The crowd stirred.

They never thought that they would be thanked, whether it was the king's or the archbishop's speeches, they were all "we should" and "we must", and there was never a sense of gratitude to the people of the lower ranks, and people had no doubt about it.

The royal family and nobles with magical talents and ancient bloodlines are the rulers, second only to the mother goddess, and those who are not protected by the power of magic are weak, protected and ruled by the noble beings. This is the truth, and there is no room for any questioning. Like the rising and setting of the sun, life and death, it is natural and cannot be violated.

But—

"This is an insignificant thank you that I have made, that I am an insignificant human being compared to the great Founding God, and that I am insignificant in comparison to the war scenario we are facing. ”

Before it was time to have feelings, the crisp and pleasant female voice sent the pictures into people's minds.

“...... Those brave people stood on the far frontlines, guarding the land that their ancestors had cultivated since ancient times, and their mothers, wives, and sisters prayed in their hometowns – just like everyone present, wishing their loved ones a safe return. The girls are laughing and the children are playing. ”

The ever-expanding commotion was mixed with warmth and tranquility, followed by-

"But the clouds of cruelty still hovered over the northern lands, and groups of savage, obedient orc soldiers, kept emerging like locusts. When the time comes, they will crawl out of their nests to practice and spoil. Spread calamities and carnages on every inch of land they could touch, and rain horrific rains on all mankind......"

At this point, the voice suddenly stopped.

The silence without warning made the population anxious. They craned their necks to look at the podium, which was absolutely invisible, and the commotion became intense.

At this moment, as if calculating this time, the girl spoke again in a cheerful voice:

"Having learned the lessons of the cruel experience of Tongguò, the brave warriors of the nations were united, and the people favored by the gods stood together. As long as there is still breath and strength, let's work together to fight the enemy!"

Taking a deep breath, the girl raised her hands and climaxed the send-off ceremony.

"May the Almighty Mother Goddess bestow you the greatest blessings. ”

She spoke in Charlemagne, her eyes full of emotion.

Tears flowed down people's cheeks. In a flash. The boiling feelings exploded at the Olympic racing station.

Tens of thousands of people cheered and applauded to set off a tsunami with huge heat, and Roland, who was outside of this energy shock, was also surprised.

I was surprised by the enthusiasm that came out of the people's expression, and I was also surprised by the expression of the saint Giel.

Indeed, this Holy Highness is beautiful. In appearance, he has several things in common with Diana. But the beauty that has gone through time and experience is even more radiant and moving. But it is not glamorous at all, but it makes people easy to protect.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of déjà vu in front of him.

A cry that is incoherent. Countless men, women, and children waved their hands, some burst into tears, some smiling, some fainted from excitement, and many more kept surging to get closer to the podium.

Really, very similar-

It bears a striking resemblance to the scene when someone appears on the balcony of the Yalfheim Council building, speaking to thousands of elves.

A feeding frenzy;

Excited;

unilateral dedication;

Thoughts melted in resonance.

On these tables, the two are hardly the same. But if you think about it further, you will find some differences.

In addition to the difference in race and direction of thinking, the biggest difference between the two is "how much self-consciousness and rationality there is."

Most of the elves did fanatically worship and support the archons, but they knew who they were obeying, what Li Lin's abilities and merits were, and what the meaning of their actions was. On the other hand, although Li Lin acted arbitrarily and had almost no room for change in the things he decided, he did not resist someone putting forward an opinion, nor did he care about the object of the opinion. The two sides have a reciprocal interaction on a certain number of years, so that the elves can live three times, but also retain room for thinking.

But the fiery scenery in front of me is different.

The people gathered in the station were only "fanatical", and in their hot heads there was only blind obedience and passion, which could not even express meaning, and the shouts of those on the side who were about to be forced back were the evidence.

In the present situation, if the holy woman had opened her mouth to say the order to "die", someone would have complied with a grateful expression.

This sounds a bit like a cult, but a cult is a form of religious extremism. Even the church, which claims to be the only one to inherit the truth of God, has done many terrible things in the name of Mother God. So this speculation is not unfounded.

Anxiety is stirring in my heart.

(in the name of God...... ）

Muttering words with unusual weight, Roland searched the viewing platform with his spare eyes.

After a long while, the figure of the adoptive father finally appeared in the field of vision, and he was inexplicably relieved for a moment, but the next moment he felt that something was wrong.

Indeed, the protagonist of this stage is not Li Lin, but why is his sense of existence so thin?

He is not an unrelated person, but an important participant, but if you don't think about it by chance, you will deliberately search for him, and you will even forget that he is also a guest who participated in today's send-off.

Why?

Is it because he always looks at things from an objective point of view, so he doesn't really stand on the stage?

It seems so, but it doesn't seem to be.

He was indeed very objective, but there was a clear difference between that look and the gaze cast from the audience, but what was the difference......

With doubts in mind, the mask-like smiling face gradually faded out of Roland's eyes.

########

There was no abnormality in heartbeat and blood pressure.

Brain quantum waves, no anomalies.

Wavelength analysis, comparison, result: questionable.

What to ask and why to ask.

――Do you have any questions about the scenery in front of you?

It's like an answer, and it's like a rhetorical question.

Maybe Roland can understand, but he can't specifically describe the root cause of his disobedience, but Li Lin is very clear.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more people, for the sake of a value and a purpose, do not care about the dedication of their lives - the part of the human instinct that emphasizes the consciousness of the individual will reject.

If it was the result of each individual human being's own thinking and choice, Roland would not have reacted so strongly, but because of his nature and the environment in which he was educated, he had an unusual aversion to the blind obedience of brainwashing, incitement, and other means to force unity. In the face of such a light abandonment of thinking by the masses and the fanatical behavior of obeying religious doctrines like domestic animals, he certainly could not feel good.

This is a good thing, and it means that the similarity between him and Li Nadu has been further improved.

This is also a not-so-good thing, which means that his next actions may cause some trouble, after all, he will have to spend days with the holy woman who can easily incite tens of thousands of people to become mobs. If his values and ideology are exposed, it is difficult to guarantee that the saint will take any measures in response. If it is considered a "heretic", it is not as simple as "trouble".

In order to prevent this state of affairs, some measures have been taken, but the possibility of an unexpected situation will eventually exist, and the plan of the crown leader has already entered into ......

-- No problem.

Cutting off the complex thinking loop that was too deep, Li Lin came to a conclusion with certainty.

――Even if it happens, it is enough to deal with it according to the emergency situation. (To be continued......)
