Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation Chapter 408

  Chapter 408 Never Surrender to the Rule of the Evil Empire (Subscribe)

   The business executives of the Wotan Alliance have long heard about the various practices of the empire.

  It is a crime to give so much money to those guys for nothing.

  Even debt transfer is better than this.

   "Do you really want to write off all the debt?" tremblingly, one executive said. "It's easy to mess up that way."

   "Report to the empire again, those people have no debts, but it will turn upside down."

   "How can they be restrained without debt!"

   "Yes, my lord, be careful. Those people are afraid of power but not morality. There is no need to reduce their debts."

"This matter is beyond your control." Wesker glanced at the executives standing in front of him and said word by word: "Don't try to do things secretly, if you do well, you can live. If you don't do well, you will all be punished." Execute it, and the order of this world will be rewashed."

  Due to manpower, the reform of the empire is often relatively crude, and it is left to those locals who are willing to surrender to solve it.

  These people do not have the courage to resist the empire, but their courage to make money through the reform of the empire is astonishing.

   Borrowing money desperately on the eve of the reform, emptied the local financial funds, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the arrival of the empire to write off all the loans.

   Received all the assets of those original enterprises under his own name.

  Human nature is always complicated.

   Exemption of loans between major companies and civilians, the first is to win people's hearts, and the second is to enable local people to get rid of such a depressive life.

  However, the practice has completely changed.

  As long as you have some rights in your hands, you will try your best to put those assets under your own name as much as possible, thinking about becoming a rich man after the empire comes.

   Wesker has seen too many people like that.

  As long as you don't pay attention, those who are swallowed by desire will kill each other for money.

  The threat is just a warning to these people, and the empire will conduct a follow-up review.

  Anyone who dares to cheat will pay for his stupidity.

   "We are all dedicated to our duties." A female supervisor said: "We will never let down the Holy Emperor and the Empire."

  The female supervisor spoke sincerely.

  Wesker had a mocking look on his face.

  He doesn't believe a word of such words.

  Not long ago, they also declared that they would fight the empire to the end.

  Defend the alliance, defend their homeland.

   Give it your all to fight these fearsome imperial invaders to the last minute.

  Now, their Skyhawk Ritual is more formal than Wesker's.

  If he didn't know their details, Wesker would have wondered if the empire had sent them here as undercover agents before.

  This is reality, this is human nature.

   "My lords must be very tired, why don't I take you to rest first. Tonight is a welcome banquet. Tomorrow we will discuss in detail how to promote the imperial decree. This way please."

  Under the leadership of those executives, Wesker entered the group of buildings that he admired in the past.

  In the Wotan Union, corporations and non-corporations are two distinct worlds.

   Neither the dwarves nor the humans that live in it are as sharply divided as between corporate and non-corporate.

  The top executives of the Wotan Alliance divided part of their own interests.

  The part of people who get these benefits, seeing their own lives compared with the lives of non-corporate groups, will subconsciously support the rule of corporations and enterprises.

  They think they are superior to others, and they are not at the same level as those hard-earned non-company bottoms.

   For the sake of high-level considerations, they have deliberately supported the Wotan Alliance in order to obtain more benefits.

  The buildings where the company's employees and executives live cover a vast area and are clean and full of sense of technology.

  The most central building presents a dome structure, made of silver-white metal and reinforced glass.

   Obviously a branch of a company established here.

  It is different from the harsh environment in which ordinary people live.

  The buildings where the company's executives and employees live and work are all exquisite.

   Wide space between each other.

  There is no concept of setting up streets on the ground, and flower beds, grasslands and forests are built.

  Take a deep breath, the air is fresh.

   It makes people feel like they are in the grassland.

  The employees of those companies wore neat clothes and walked through them like ants.

  Everywhere is full of humanized comfort and coziness.

  Wesker remembered that he used to face the loess and his back to the sky, driving a broken harvester to work in the high temperature of 40 degrees.

   It is a happy thing to drink cold ale after work.

   After working for a day, it is considered lucky to be able to get 20% of the successful results of your work.

   Every day is basically the interest of repaying the loan.

  It's miserable.

  Look at the people here, the work is comfortable, the environment is beautiful, and you are enjoying life comfortably.

  The life gap between people is bigger than the life gap between people and dogs.

  When the staff watched Wesker and the others walk by, their eyes showed fear.

  Everyone knows what the arrival of the empire means.

   Their good days are coming to an end.

  The Empire forgives its debts.

  Companies were also killed.

  What can they rely on to maintain and continue such a peaceful life.

  Wesker observed it, and it was obvious that these people did not welcome the arrival of the empire.

  He even saw a few students with angry faces, fists clenched, full of hatred.

   When he looked at the people in the empire, he wished he could eat them with his teeth and claws.

  They did not speak, but expressed their thoughts with their eyes.

   A bunch of traitors, shameful traitors.

  These beasts who surrendered to the empire should all be sent to the gallows.

  Wesker frowned slightly, feeling that the reform this time would not be so easy.

   There must be a strong resistance.

  He finally understood why those students hated them so much!

  In their eyes, the Wotan Alliance is their home.

  This home allows them to live comfortably, to be superior to others, and to enjoy the privileges brought by their status.

  They will grow up, and then inherit the property and work of their parents, and continue to enjoy the beauty here.

  The arrival of the empire ruined all of this.

   In this way, their anger can be explained.

  Preventing people from getting rich is like killing one's parents.

  This old saying is true in any era.

   Feeling the malice of those people, Wesker swore secretly.

   In any case, we will ensure the normal reform of Planet Weiluo, and will never develop to the extent that the empire will be involved

   Wesker, who returned to Planet Velo, led more than ten thousand people.

   is just the size of an organization group.

  Including him, there are a dozen officers.

   Two-thirds were born on the planet Velo.

  The rest are soldiers conscripted from nearby galaxies.

   Like Wesker, they all come from the bottom.

   is the so-called non-corporate group.

   After surrendering to the empire at the border, Kodd, who led the soldiers to revolt, has become a general, responsible for commanding many soldiers who rebelled at that time.

   In order to solve the problem of the alliance army's loyalty to the empire.

  The empire generally cleans or downgrades and reorganizes those officers.

  From the original ranks of low-level soldiers, some smart and capable soldiers were drawn to supplement them.

   Wesker and others were also promoted.

   This return to Planet Velo was initiated by Wesker.

  Imperials rarely drop commanders.

  Because the customs and habits of each planet are different.

  In addition, the imperial military does not legally support the airborne regiment-level commander of an army composed of citizens of a certain planet

   Only the forces of a planet can be assigned to that general, and he will dominate and rule.

  According to the imperial dictatorship and democracy, the main body of the empire is a human dictatorship formed by joining Terra as a unit.

   Planets have certain autonomy rights after abiding by the rules set by the Imperial Constitution, state religion, and courts.

  The governor who manages the entire planet is elected by the people of that planet themselves.

   represents the interests of that planet.

   Then the governor swears allegiance to the empire on behalf of all citizens.

  The Interstellar Chamber of Commerce under the control of the empire integrates it into the empire's economic system according to the local minerals, assets and population, ensuring that it can enjoy power and pay its own obligations, forming a 1+1>2 mutual win.

  The planet needs to pay taxes to the empire, provide soldiers, maintain the state religion, and be 100% loyal to the holy emperor.

   After paying these, they can obtain the protection of the imperial army, receive technical support from the Mechanicus and the imperial scientific research institutions, improve productivity, occupy a position in interstellar trade, and improve their living standards through the interstellar economy.

  Most of the work of the Terra Council is to ensure that this system is not damaged by the selfishness and greed of human nature, and to effectively maintain the dignity of every citizen of the empire.

  The Interstellar Chamber of Commerce uses gentle and indirect means to use commercial trade to plunder wealth and use it for redistribution to support the various expenses of the empire, so that the various planets of the empire can be maintained at a similar level, and there will be no too large wealth gap.

   Simply put, the current wealth gap in the empire is.

  The rich can hire someone to wash their suspension car, and the poor have to wash their suspension car by themselves.

   Everyone has a big ox.

   At most, your cows are fatter and mine are thinner.

   There will never be a situation where the rich have a group of big buffaloes and the poor have a small snail.

   However, the situation of the Wotan Alliance is very complicated.

   It is even more exaggerated than the original empire.

  The empire was in the midst of various crises caused by chaos and aliens.

  The wealth gap is huge, but not as serious as the Wotan Alliance.

  The wealth of the Wotan Alliance has been excessively concentrated in the hands of the 0.0000001% of the people.

  The poor don't talk about snails, but owe them two big buffaloes.

   Such a situation also caused the problems of the Wotan Alliance to be complicated.

  The reformation of many planets is not going well.

  Someone secretly divides interests and intrigues.

  When they cannot satisfy their own desires, they will encourage ignorant people to rebel.

   eventually led to the military suppression of the entire planet.

   Such news emerges endlessly.

  Many in the Wotan League stubbornly believe that the Empire is an invader, coming to take their homeland and ruin their lives.

  In the absence of complete information channels to understand the situation, it is easy to be fooled by rulers who control public opinion and have evil intentions.

  Using all kinds of stigma and poor information to encourage ignorant people to rebel against the empire, which eventually led to mass bloodshed.

  After experiencing several suppression incidents, Wesker found that many people's performance can be said to be ignorant and stupid.

  They seem to be smart, but they don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and verify facts.

  Stubbornly believe that right is right and wrong is wrong.

   Such people are encouraged by those who have a heart in a few words, and put themselves on the edge of a dangerous abyss.

  Unaware that I am just someone else's gun, driven by others.

  When the other party gets what they want, they will let go directly, leaving them there helpless and becoming the recipients of the empire's wrath.

   Such things are always repeated and repeated.

   Those people will also be used again and again until they are worthless and completely abandoned.

  Wesker doesn't want that to happen in his hometown.

   That's why he came back.

   Repression by the Empire is no joke.

  Once the regular troops of the empire are dispatched, those who dare to join the ranks of resisting the empire.

   No matter what the reason is, they will be executed or sent to a punishment camp.

   Some will even be transformed into atonement machine slaves, and they will spend their entire lives atoneting for their sins.

  Imagine a system that was originally extremely beneficial to you, but because you don't understand it, you don't know it, and you are teased with a few words, so you are irrational and go crazy to fight against the empire.

   In the end, it was strongly suppressed by the empire and transformed into a redemption machine slave.

  But the person who encouraged you pretended to be innocent, took the benefits and retreated behind the scenes, and lived a good life.

   No matter how smart and capable the officials of the empire are, there is no way to screen hundreds of planets and tens of billions of traitors to find the innocent among them.

  Even with the assistance of the brain, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases.

  Wesker will never allow such a thing to happen in his hometown.

   That's why he came back.

   It is necessary to ensure the smooth reform of the planet Velo and integrate into the empire, so as to avoid the step of **** riots and strong suppression by the empire.

  He is not very interested in the bustling banquet.

  The banquet was very lively.

  Many slender guards shuttled among them, serving delicious food and wine one after another.

  Every time a new dish is served, a butler in uniform will announce the name of that dish loudly.

  How to evaluate!

  Wesker thinks this should be the so-called aristocratic sense of ritual!

  Any dish here is worth a farmer's annual income.

  Wesker did not have any joy or excitement.

   He is not suitable for such an occasion.

   Those executives and guests who come and go are very respectful to Wesker and others, even if they don't understand dining etiquette at all.

  However, Wesker knows that behind these scantily clad, **** female guests and those exquisite, delicious dishes are hidden the soft knives of those executives.

  They hope to get more benefits from the reform.

  Whether it is the parliament of the Wotan Alliance or accepting the rule of the Holy Emperor, they don't care much.

  They are more concerned about whether their own interests will be damaged.

  How to take advantage of this situation to gain greater voice and interests.

  After attending the banquet for a while, he politely declined the other party's invitation to stay.

   went straight back to his hometown.

  In order to avoid bringing fear, he did not take a military gunboat, but borrowed a hover motorcycle to go back.

  The flying height of the hoverbike can reach fifteen meters.

   This height is enough to avoid most obstacles.

  Most areas of Velo planet are plains and deserts, and suspension motorcycles can reach many areas without obstacles.

  The maximum speed of the suspension motorcycle can reach 1000km/hour.

  Wesker drove his motorcycle back to his hometown town.

  Vello, a colonial planet, is mostly agricultural.

   Along the way, you can see stretches of cultivated land.

  The grape trellises fixed by white brackets cover the undulating mountains, lush and verdant, stretching as far as the eye can see.

   Automatic sprinkler systems stand at intervals to ensure coverage of those grape crops.

  Wheat is generally planted on the plains, which is convenient for mechanical operations.

   At intervals, there are special hydroponic vegetable bases.

   Flying all the way, it is basically either farmland or various economic crops, fruit trees.

   Planet Velo is highly developed, and traces of development can be seen everywhere.

   Except for those wastelands that cannot be developed or are too expensive, they have basically been developed.

  Farmers carefully raise their crops to ensure that they can harvest and bring wealth to themselves.

  Wesker was excited by this familiar scene.

He came home.

   Here he was born.

  His soul is linked to Velo.

  Going home is not a very time-consuming thing.

  Two hours later, the dilapidated town signboard appeared before his eyes.

  The town is as desolate as ever.

   Looks almost lifeless.

   After the debt is paid off, people don't have much money to spend.

  For this reason, the economy of the small town has not improved much.

   People are hardworking, but unfortunately this is not an era where hard work can get rich.

  The Wotan Alliance used "reasonable and legal" means to take away all the wealth.

  Wesker's return was still warmly welcomed.

  The people in the small town didn't speak ill of Wesker because he surrendered to the Empire.

  Wesker is a part of their town, and his character is obvious to all.

   Courageous and honest.

   Dare to fight for a better life.

  Compared to the concept of alliance, they love Wesker as a real person more.

   Wesker and his welcome go to the only bar in town.

   News of his return spread quickly.

  People come from all directions.

   The bar was packed to the brim in no time.

"The empire promised that our debts will end here, and we will be debt-free from now on." Wesker said to his neighbors and friends: "At the same time, we can elect a governor who represents the interests of the planet Velo, so that Come and serve the Empire."

  Hearing that the debt was forgiven, the people all cheered.

  You can hear the back, but people showed blank expressions.

   "Is the governor useful?" said a wrinkled old man. "We have elected many officials, but in the end they are just puppets of those business owners."

   "That kind of game is meaningless. They choose a few people for us to choose." A young man said angrily: "It's just a waste of time."

   "It's up to us to decide who to choose for the governor. Everyone can run for election, as long as you think you can fight for more interests for Planet Velo, and talk and fight on behalf of our interests." Wesker said.

   "You are too young, Wesker, this is just a game." Someone in the crowd said.

   "At least we can have a sense of participation." Wesker joked: "In any case, debt forgiveness is inevitable."

After a pause, Wesker continued: "The choice of the governor, we need to be cautious, and we need someone who can actually speak on our behalf. Every planet has a little autonomy to adapt to our cultural life and society. The governor also The person who docks with the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce and confirms our position in the imperial economic system."

"Taking a step back, the governor is also the one who rules us according to the laws of the empire. If we don't want to hand over our fate to people who don't think about ourselves, then we have to act and choose the people we need to cooperate with the reform of the empire. .”

  Wesker tried his best to explain the reform of the empire.

   Make sure his hometown isn't stupid enough to be instigated.

  Of course, he will also go to other places for this work.

   But before that, he had to get the support of his hometown.

  Velo planet has developed agriculture, and each gathering place is basically the size of a small town, with only a handful of metropolises.

"We can all get a better life." Wesker promised his hometown people: "We will no longer be reduced to animals without dignity, but before that, we have to learn how to defend our rights. Don't go to It doesn't matter whether the institution that rules us is the Empire or the Wotan League, what we have to defend is our power, the power of being human. Whoever makes us live like a human being, then we support whoever."

"Do you want your future to be determined when you are born? Do you want your children to be burdened with debts that need to be repaid throughout their lives? Everyone should decide their own future by themselves. The meaning of life lies here. One day, We will all return to death. Both pain and happiness will be the only things we will get."

  “When you are dying, you look back on your life and never had a day of happiness. Is it really meaningful to live to pay off your debts, to dedicate your life to a concept of nothingness!”

   Wesker raised his hand and shouted.

  “We have to live for ourselves, whether we will be sad or miserable tomorrow, it is up to us to choose.”

  The most high-end Como Academy on Planet Velo.

  This school was established by the first generation of colonists who colonized the planet Velo.

   So far, it has been passed down for thousands of years.

   Those who can enter this school are basically elites, among the dragons and phoenixes.

  In addition to their own conditions, a recommendation letter written by a senior executive is also required.

   Those who don't meet the conditions are basically unable to enter here.

  If you can come here, your life will be very different.

  More than 80% of the executives of Planet Velo come from this institution, so one can imagine how much energy there is here.

"This is betrayal." At the port, the student who was angry at Wesker and others stood in front of a group of college students from Como Academy and said sadly: "This is a betrayal of a civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years. The damned invaders are trampling on our fine civilization and fooling our fellow citizens. The Wotan Alliance is in jeopardy, it is on the brink of destruction."

"We all have to wake up, stand up, and make sacrifices to defend it. Stop that damned empire from continuing to hurt us, send those traitors to the gallows, and let them know that it is wrong to betray the alliance and their homeland. What's the end!"

   "Then shall we fight with weapons?" a person said.

"Yes, we have to fight, and the happiness that was taken away by violence can only be regained by violence. Some of us will die, but the sacrifice is worth it, because we are fighting for Velo, to defend our Fight for civilization, fight for our dignity," said the student.

   "When do we do it?" one person asked.

"At the celebration in a few days, we will do it." The student said: "We will make those damned traitors pay the price, let them understand that all citizens of Planet Velo will never submit to the dictatorship of the evil empire. "

   PS: Once again, this book does not insinuate anything, and all opinions are from the standpoint of the respective characters. The vested interests of the Wotan Alliance and the group of people who gave up the Wotan Alliance and chose the Empire have different ideas and interests.

   The empire also has a faction that opposes Guilliman's current system and wants to use resources for people's livelihood.

   I just don't focus on writing, just mention it in one stroke.

   This is a farming novel, and the struggle of people with different interests is also the mainstream of this book.

   The various measures promoted by the empire against the righteousness of the gods and the resistance of the vested interests of the conquered forces are also one of the cool points of this book.
