Chapter 811 Mud Can’t Hold up the Wall

"This is the current top official of the Mobrado coalition government. Well, he is also the commander-in-chief of the Mobrado government army. After the establishment of the coalition government, the military and politics are unified, and their leader is served by the same person.

Zaku lazily pointed at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, with no due respect in his tone, and even an obvious sense of impatience could be heard.

I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes fell on the middle-aged man again, but unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any leadership qualities in Ya, except for the military uniform that looked valuable and exquisitely made. In addition, the slightly bald man in front of him did not have the slightest feeling of being a superior, let alone a military demeanor. His expression is cautious and his eyes are uneasy. When he looks at us, he is always a little nervous unconsciously. When he looks at the Holy Pope, he is a little confused. I feel that he is the only one who entered the county government building for the first time. The only difference is that there is less of a wrinkled leather bag, and of course, there is more of a clear forehead.

"I am very excited. It is an honor for me as a mortal to meet the sage leader."

This middle-aged man, who was called the head of the military and political affairs, stood up at the invitation of the religious banquet, greeted Sandora and me in a restrained and awkward manner, and then sat down, as if waiting for the Pope to give him the next instruction.

Seeing this, I already knew in my heart: This is the leader of the puppet regime that the Holy Pope has been using before.

Mobrador is a theocratic society, but it also has a government and an army that are nominally independent of religion. The purpose of the latter's existence seems to be to demonstrate the otherworldliness of the church: church members under the guidance of the sages exercise authority from the kingdom of heaven. , they focus on the protection of the entire world, rather than the crude laws of mortals, so the church will not interfere with the autonomy of the civilian class. The so-called coalition government is to show this.

Of course we all know that the above is mostly bullshit.

The Blue Church has never let go of its unyielding dominance over the entire world since the day it was established. The Holy Pope himself is eager to use the doctrine of saints to limit the number of breaths that everyone can take every day. After destroying Mobrado's original country and political power, he immediately established a puppet organization called the coalition government, and widely collected the old, weak, sick, disabled, children and children from all over the world. It is not necessary to fight with a cat. The winning ones were organized into government troops to form the largest and most insignificant civilian self-government organization in Mobrador civilization.

And this top official who sounds very bluffing is the biggest puppet in this puppet government. It seems that the Holy Pope really didn’t put any thought into choosing such a puppet. Of course, it is also possible that he chose such a puppet carefully. You idiot, even if this person talks in front of the TV, there will probably be problems. I even suspect that every time the Mobrado coalition government is elected, they directly select people from township entrepreneurs all over the world...

No wonder the average Mobrado citizen is not aware of the existence of the coalition government at all and only knows about Long Live the Church.

Thinking of this, I rolled my eyes at the Holy Pope, and the meaning was very clear: "Why are you pushing such a meaningless guy in front of me?"

"Please forgive me, sage." The Holy Pope unskillfully connected to the spiritual channel we left for him, and slowly explained, "If the divine power is to be gradually reduced to the normal scope in Mobrado civilization, the coalition government will To slowly gain actual status, the current situation is so turbulent that the people are panicking. The situation does not allow us to abolish the old government and re-establish a political power at this juncture. Moreover, Mobrado’s social foundation is there, and we cannot establish it. There is no better coalition government than what we have now. Although this man does not have the ability to lead, at least he has worked steadily in this position for twelve years. Sometimes, he can still represent the intentions of a considerable number of Mobrado people. of."

I glanced sideways at the Pope and said to myself that the current social situation where no one is available for Mobrado is not caused by you. After three hundred years of sheep-like education, all talented people in Mobrado are basically controlled by the Blue Church. However, except for a dozen old antiques from the church, those with leadership skills are suppressed heretics or puppets with no status in the coalition government. The middle-aged man in front of him belongs to the latter. He may really be like this. What the Pope said is that he is currently the only one who can take the stage.

"So, what do you want to say?" I bowed and turned to the nervous head of the coalition government on the other side. Although the other party was just a puppet, the Pope had pushed him up, so I just regarded him as Mobra. Let’s have more representatives.

"Regarding the incident of evil gods attacking mortals, we need a sense of security now." The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said slowly, "Everyone is very, very panicked now. Our people have discovered that even if they hide on their home planet, they may not be able to escape death. , the powerful sage army guarded the Misty Star, but the evil god still broke in. Please forgive my presumption, but I make this request on behalf of all the people of Mobrado. We hope to get better protection. The enemy is too powerful. , we are unable to resist at all, so please protect us, the blue light is above."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he stretched out his thick and fat hands and stroked his chest a few times, making a praying posture.

Lou and Sandora looked at each other, feeling a sense of powerlessness in their hearts for no reason.

As expected, he came to seek shelter after being frightened.

"Of course we will find ways to protect this star system." I waved my hand to the other party. "In fact, there are already three or four layers of defense lines operating around the Mobrador star system, but the rebellious army has the ability to penetrate this defense line. Today This was the case with the attack on Saturn, and our protection cannot be comprehensive."

The middle-aged man seemed not to have expected my answer at all. A look of shock immediately appeared on his face, and then he looked helplessly at the Pope. The latter also stood up and said in disbelief: "Sage, Do you also have the power..."

"It's not our power." Sandora responded coldly. "The enemy's power is the same as Lou's, so sometimes the protection of the Imperial Army is not omnipotent. When the enemy breaks through the defense line, you must learn to save yourself. The Empire The military's protection of this star system is for military purposes, and we will only retain the strategic value here. If the military strength is insufficient, you must find a way to fill the defense line yourself."

Shandora was telling the truth. Now the Revenge Army has the upper hand in all aspects. The Imperial Army can't even find a way to warn the opponent's actions. In this case, no matter how many lines of defense they have, they can only guarantee the safety of the main military base. Safety As for Mobrador's planets, unless we surround them with precious troops, there is always the possibility of being raided.

With our current military strength, it is simply not worth the gain to waste the fleet to protect a few civilian planets. Those fleets are also responsible for supporting battlefields in other parts of the galaxy.

But the other party obviously didn't understand this situation. Under the brainwashing of the church, he had long been accustomed to the idea of ​​"sages and omnipotence". When encountering a crisis, just praying is the most common behavior of Mobrado people. They have no way of solving the problem by themselves. concept. Not to mention that this person had just seen the "Sage"'s super fleet with his own eyes, which made him confident when he came here. But now, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The other party showed a look of despair, as if he had been abandoned by his own beliefs, and even seemed to have heard the death penalty notice. This made Shandora and I couldn't help but frown: Shandora and I had already Take turns to make the situation very clear. It’s not that the Imperial Army doesn’t protect this galaxy, but that our protection will not be foolproof. All they have to do is to actively save themselves after the Revenge Army breaks through the defense line. That’s all. Could it be that he Don't you dare to try it?

If nothing else, let’s take the attack on Brown Saturn as an example. According to the intelligence that came back later, the Revenge Army did not conduct a large-scale bombing of the planet when they landed on it. They were just following the plan... on the planet. The Mobrado miners and civilians who were killed just happened to be in the direction they were going. In this case, as long as there is a little organization from a prestigious official group, let them If civilians evacuate as soon as possible, this planet will not have tens of millions of dead people but no one will organize it.

I noticed that Uncle Zaku cast a somewhat embarrassed look at this side. Obviously he was also very dissatisfied with the performance of this so-called leader, but now the command of Mobrado's largest army is still nominally in the hands of this Mediterranean man. , and he had to introduce this person over despite embarrassment.

Sandora glanced at the other government officials who also had gloomy expressions a little displeasedly, stood up and left the reception room, while Tex, who was muttering to Roland Gale in the corner of the room, suddenly stood up and said to Several representatives of the coalition government loudly said: "You have already said your nonsense once, so don't take over and waste the emperor's time."

It turned out that his impatient expression before was indeed caused by listening to these government representatives chattering for a long time.

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. The Imperial Army has no intention of abandoning this star system." I said to the government representatives. "Your only task is to organize the people to save themselves when the situation is critical. Those rebellious spaceships are not irresistible, at least according to your current situation." With the technology we have, we can evacuate some civilians when they start to attack, right? And then we have to hold on until the imperial army arrives. It’s a state of war now. Don’t you even have this bit of common sense?”

I was stunned for a moment after I finished speaking, and then shrugged helplessly: The other party really didn't have this common sense. There has been no group fight involving more than ten people in Mobrado for more than three hundred years.

Life is comfortable, the world is peaceful, and there are not even fights. Where do you want their government troops to get the experience of self-help in war? Not to mention the war to save themselves, when their soldiers saw the Revenge Army spaceship falling from the sky, the only thing they were better than ordinary people was that they ran very fast. The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and murmured to himself with a look of frustration: "That's impossible. , we can’t possibly fight something like that

..., Mobrado’s army has no combat experience at all.

…”

"The Knights of the Church can play a role, but the number is not enough." The Holy Pope also expressed his opinion. "And except for the blunderbuss of condemnation, we lack any weapon that can cause harm to the rebel army. All Mobrado's arms are behind them." There are cannon fodder in front of us. As for organizing the evacuation of the people, it doesn’t require much combat power. It’s a pity that the government troops can’t even organize themselves.”

"Please protect us. We are all people who grew up under the blue light. You can't give up on your people, right?" The middle-aged man also seized the opportunity to request.

To be fair, I am always willing to help when helpless people ask for help, but this time, for some reason, I just felt a headache.

The weak need sympathy but what about the cowards?

I felt like I was facing not only a group of lambs, but also a group of lambs that didn’t even bother to run away. When facing danger, let alone resisting, they even wanted to wait for the shepherd to pick them up and run away from me. This is the first time I have seen such a legitimate request for protection, and it comes from the mouth of a civilization's supreme ruler, even though he is just a puppet.

The Holy Pope is the real authority of Mobrado, but he sent this man to us for another purpose, which is to explain one thing to us: anyway, our civilization has been reduced to this mess by me, It's up to you.

I opened my mouth but found that I didn't know how to make this man who theoretically controls Mobrado's largest army (this is also the largest army) feel confident. I don't need him to do much, as long as he is attacked by the revenge army. Just think of ways to organize civilians to evacuate. This requires a large number of soldiers. The number of the Church Army is definitely not enough. The Imperial Army does not have this spare time, and the other party can't even accomplish this task. Where do people start? Should I return to Earth? Looking for another township entrepreneur... probably wouldn't be suitable either.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please allow me to say a few words."

Roland Gale suddenly stood up, walked to me and said.

I didn't know what this old tough guy wanted to do, but I still nodded: "Whatever, you don't need to be polite in front of me."

Roland Gale bowed slightly, turned around and stood in front of the representatives of Mobrado Masai. The latter looked at the old man in front of them, who was wearing a neat military uniform and with mottled white hair, in confusion. They didn't know what the unidentified old man wanted to do, but they couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"Stand up." Roland Gale looked at the bald man and said in a deep voice. The man was stunned and subconsciously left the sofa.

The old lion from the civilized community looked at the other party's evasive eyes and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you know how to resist an enemy stronger than you?"

He was answered with a submissive expression and a moment of silence.

Just when I thought the story about the bloody struggle against the shepherds in the cage was about to begin, Roland Gale suddenly made a move that surprised everyone: he twisted around and hit Mo Mo in front of him with a left hook. Leader Brador was knocked to the ground.

"Bang!" The muffled sound of the fist hitting the fat sounded extremely clear at this moment, and then there was the sound of the fat leader Mobrado lying on the ground amidst a burst of flying noises. I was surprised With their eyes wide open, Tex and Zaku on the other side whistled in unison, and then they looked at each other sympathetically: People who dare to pick their toes in front of the emperor usually have a common topic, about moral integrity. .

It took a few seconds for several government representatives to react. Their first action was to help the leader who was not very agile up, and then discovered that the leader had been punched and was severely knocked unconscious. So they looked at each other in shock: Roland Gale seemed to be an old man with a bigger punch than their parents. Who knew that the old man's left uppercut was actually Tyson level.

Several representatives looked at each other at a loss, while Roland Gale pointed at one of the black-haired men wearing high-end military uniforms easily: "I beat your leader, and now you can beat him back."

No one expected that this old man would be so hyper-expanded, and I think the author didn't expect it either, so everyone at the scene was a little slow to react, especially the government representatives. A few seconds after Roland Gale's words fell, the black-haired man who was accused innocently stood up. He turned his help-seeking eyes to his colleagues, and what he got was a pile of heads: everyone was trying to bury their faces. Enter the crotch.

After seeing this, I no longer have any expectations for this so-called coalition government.

They were indeed carefully selected by the Holy Pope. The most cowardly group and the most obedient group of people in the entire Mobrado civilization formed this group. Their only task was to sign their attendance sheets and then follow the Pope's instructions. The request appears on the TV channel every Sunday, leading all the people to sing hymns together. Apart from high pitch and lung capacity, these guys have no talent at all, and they all have developed the habit of never resisting, which is better than any other kind. Brainwashing must be thorough.

This is what Roland Gale wants to say.

He forcefully patted the innocent-looking black-haired man on the shoulder, and said in a very calm tone, stating the facts: "You don't deserve the stable life you have now, and you don't deserve these clothes either."

"Your Majesty, that's all I have to say."

Roland Gale shrugged and returned to his seat. Looking at him, I could only smile helplessly: This old lion!

It seems that the Mobrado coalition government is no longer able to support the wall, and their leaders are the worst among them. Maybe the government troops under its name are still useful, but it is obvious that these few people in front of them can continue to serve as leaders. It's impossible.

"You should be very experienced in how to take over their work in this situation." I nodded to the Holy Pope, "It's a special case. Keep doing your old job and find a way to fool the civilians and the military. Let’s talk about how to escape.”

The Pope knew that his little calculation had been seen through, and he was not embarrassed at all. He just nodded and sincerely promised: "If this disaster can pass, I will find a way to reorganize them."

I called a few imperial soldiers and asked them to send the dejected government representatives back to the residential area. Then I nodded to the Pope and his entourage: "What else is there now? I think you should not only bring this group of people when you come here today." Strange things come to disgust me."

The one who answered me was Zaku, who was leaning lazily on his seat just like he did when he was a rag man, with one hand in his hair: "I want to see Milia first."
