Marvel Book of Magical Events

"But the problem of resource scarcity still cannot be solved, so the emperor plans to expand the territory, use an older governing philosophy to solve the problem, and get rid of the dilemma of a single industry with a lack of resources? As far as I know, the feudal dynasty annexed land in order to allow the main nation to expand and Assimilating foreigners, the capitalist free market annexes the market in order to make profits and promote liberalism. I have understood the theory of the dependence school, and this is indeed a solution to the problem, but it completely violates the values ​​of national self-extinction and democracy that the world respected after World War II. ." The ambassador said, "It seems to me that your emperor doesn't mind using both methods at the same time."

"The annexation of Greece is not just for resources, nor is it for a larger market to avoid overproduction. The reason is that this is not an irrational decision. The market is just one aspect. The resources the emperor needs are endless, and the earth produces The industrial raw materials cannot even cast a starship. The automatic mining stations we have established in the asteroid belt and the mining stations that will be established on the moon in the future are the industrial raw materials that belong exclusively to future starships. The production on the earth will not Too much influence on the Emperor's ideals. His cause will feed the earth, not rob it."

Another glass of strong drink.

"This is not to glorify war, and we will never do it, but there are wars that we must participate in, even if it is to save those who hate us. Do you think that NATO troops will die when their masters are making a lot of money and suffering When threatened, will resources be consumed to defend places other than NATO's main countries? Just because of the existence of the emperor himself, NATO does not dare to send troops to fight against him like it did to the Middle East. When the Dark Order arrives, who will Can they be protected from aliens? Can they rely on their own military and weak politicians?" Regent Victor von Doom chuckled, "The speech at the United Nations Headquarters also reduced NATO's credibility to the lowest level. Is NATO The intention to intervene in the Greek war, whether the European Union and North America intend to launch sanctions against him, will have no impact on the emperor who originally planned to establish a new order. Later you will understand what I say, a castle built on rock will not Because a few ants collapsed.”

"Please continue to explain."

"The reason why the emperor did this is essentially because he wants to protect more people from the alien army, and at the same time obtain more resources to fight against aliens and the exploitation of a few people on the wealth pyramid, and to avoid those who exploit the economic system downstream. The numbers that are given value are wasted on jewelry, yachts, alcohol, postmodern art, seasonal luxury goods, and drugs. The value brought by labor should not be wasted in the unrestrained number game of the financial market, but should be Invest in any cause that is beneficial to mankind. For example, let the poor have food, clothing, education and medical care, so that people can live with dignity, and use education funds for useful scientific experiments instead of setting up research institutes for some big shots. Our The ultimate goal is to allow humans to gain free will through technology and knowledge... You also discovered that what was once called witchcraft still exists in our lives. No one knows more about witchcraft than me and him. Balkan The peninsula's climate has changed, and I'm not going to tell anyone else that he can change the climate on a massive scale."

The 750 ml bottle of brandy was half consumed, but the ambassador only drank two glasses.

The flashing icons on the battle map are still moving. But without the regent's explanation, even the ambassador who had been sitting here for an hour and a half could not understand the meaning of the new symbols. Victor von Doom obviously noticed the ambassador's gaze. He smiled indifferently and no longer paid attention to the war on the moon. Just like the division of labor in the past, he was responsible for war and he was responsible for domestic affairs. Victor von Doom would never leave him with problems that he could not solve.

"The war is not just for natural resources and markets, otherwise He would go to the White House and announce that he would be king on the first day he planned to save mankind. The North American continent has much more resources than the Balkans, doesn't it? I don't think this world No one in the world can stop Him. Not a playboy wearing a steel armor, not a green monster mutated by radiation. He could kill millions of people until the world surrenders, but He did not do so because He is too kind. But kindness is not It does not mean that he is stupid. He has done many things that seem very cruel under the moral standards of this society. Without exception, he can let most people live, even if those people fear and hate him... Yes, I want to repeat what I said before rhetoric."

The ambassador raised his glass of wine, which he had not drunk much, and motioned for the regent to continue his speech.

"The Emperor needs all mankind to stand with Him to fight against the continuous alien invasion. All manpower and material resources must be used to continue the work of mankind. This is His work and mission, and for this purpose He will not hesitate to destroy the oil empire and military industry The monopoly of the complex allows small countries to enter industrialization, even if it means becoming enemies with vested interests around the world. Such a war will probably... last for a day. After all, beheading operations are very effective, and money is used to support them. A fat fool's knees are so soft that only an ideally molded spine can hold him up."

"What then?" asked the ambassador, "after victory?"

"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" The Regent said with a smile, "You still don't believe that in this money-dominated society, people who stand at the pinnacle of power and money would regard it as trivial, otherwise you wouldn't ask That question," the regent agreed with a low laugh. "Ha, actually you are right. As a person who can live until the heat death of the universe and cannot be killed no matter what, how can he want to take on the responsibility of saving humanity if he is not completely stupid? He loves a luxurious life very much. One day Working for two hours is torture for Him. He can move planets and stop time by will, but he needs to convince everyone to agree with his ideas."

"Forgive me, I cannot speculate on the thoughts of an immortal. I believe that on a psychological level, this immortality must have some side effects. I believe in the existence of selfless people, Mr. Regent. Although I don't want to discuss it with politicians. Complex politics, but now it seems that you are not one of those clowns who rely on votes and grandstanding to get on the stage and accept manipulation by interest groups. Your wisdom and ideas are quite in-depth. However, I must raise a question, if the emperor has evolved to this extent Gao, His power is so powerful, then why does He do this? Can you reason with the ants?" The ambassador twirled the wine glass, "To put it bluntly, there is no hope for eternal people. Nothing in this world is eternal. Yes, but it’s very difficult to stay mentally sane when you have and still feel everything disappearing from you.”

Victor von Doom's laughter and the ambassador's rudeness made Diana Lister look sideways.

"Then we should be happy that the emperor's personal justice is completely consistent with the justice of the survival of the human race, because he is a complete fool, a stupid altruist, a fool who always loves the human race but does not care about individuals. Controlling power, But they will not regard themselves as the purpose of power but as a means. They will master violence, but they will not regard violence as the only way to solve problems. Of course, such people will not appear out of thin air and will not exist. Mr. Ambassador, you have never Having seen the horrific acts He committed, you have no idea how prosperous He was when he was an interstellar pirate, with killings, wealth and alien beauties all around - I'm not sure if the last one is true, but that's what He said, He said It's a very funny joke that I can experience the attraction of sexual reproduction of different intelligent races - but we have all seen His supernatural charm, so I am not sure what He has actually done."
