The Witch's Taste

Chapter 298 You seem to be too extreme
Since the broadcast has not been heard throughout the ship, Xia Qingyu probably gathered people somewhere and then carried out the so-called "propaganda work" in a unified manner.

Chen Ziang knew what was going on and came to the central hangar of the bridge - this place was originally designed to accommodate a large number of combat ships, but there are not many warships yet, so it can also be used as a gathering place for refugees.

Entering the central hangar, I saw neat rows of wall-mounted displays on the side of the wall, which seemed to be playing some kind of movie.

That woman didn't give a speech in person, but made fun of her in front of tens of millions of people. Fortunately... Well, this is a documentary?

Chen Ziang looked carefully and realized that it was actually "The History of Gao Tianyuan".Moreover, judging from the narrative tone, it was filmed and recorded from the perspective of the empire.Its historical materials span nearly a hundred years, including historical scenes from Shi Zhiqing to Shi Di, as well as the changes in the attitude of various parties in the empire towards Gao Tianyuan.

During the Shi Zhiqing era, thanks to the regular transportation of blood ore, the relationship between Gao Tianyuan and the empire was very close.Shi Zhiqing sent applications to the imperial cabinet for opening a government thirteen times in a row, hoping that the empire would establish a formal colonial star area in Gaotianyuan and appoint imperial bureaucrats to manage it, but all of them were explicitly rejected by the cabinet.

There are three reasons given by the cabinet: Gaotianyuan is too close to the Federation; the shallow blood mineral reserves in the earth's crust are limited; and the local residents are difficult to trust.

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Zhiqing passed away, his son Shi Jintang immediately went in the opposite direction, overturned all his father's political opinions, and turned to the arms of the Federation Elves.

In response to this matter, the report submitted by the imperial cabinet to the emperor was: It was expected.

Gaotian was originally a mining planet, but due to the legacy of pirate history, the population living on it far exceeded the population size of a mining planet, resulting in an extremely low per capita living standard.If we seek development and progress, we must get rid of the single structure of the mining industry and develop our own manufacturing and service industries, which means a large amount of development funds are needed.

Since the empire refused to inject capital into Gao Tianyuan, Shi Jintang would naturally turn his attention to the federation and change "tribute minerals" to "trading minerals" in exchange for foreign exchange funds.As for the federation's ill intentions towards Gao Tianyuan, they should have known that the cabinet was leaning toward Shi Jintang, but he chose to take a gamble.

The bet is that the successor will be able to grasp the right balance of power: being close to the Federation but wary of it, and being alienated from the Empire without being at odds with each other. In this way, the Federation can make a lot of money, and at the same time, the Federation will not dare to take action with the help of the Empire's tiger skin.

This policy did take effect as he expected, but Shi Jintang couldn't forget what happened after his death... With the empire's expansion plan and the federation's eastward movement, the two countries' territories bordered on the Orion Arm and Scorpio respectively.

The era of colonization of the universe, surrounded by unclaimed land where land could be enclosed and developed at will, has officially come to an end.Next comes the era of competing for the remaining land.

The Federation quickly adjusted its foreign policy. Since technology, productivity, and comprehensive national strength were all ahead of the Empire, the elves quickly came to a conclusion:
The best way to compete with humans is to completely destroy them before they can truly grow up, and to subjugate the country and exterminate the species.

As a result, the Federation began to attack Gao Tianyuan...

Seeing this, Chen Ziang looked around again.

The refugees who had lost their homes around him did not show the "outrageous" expressions he expected.

On the contrary, everyone's faces were blank, as if they had never thought that the natural disaster in Takamagahara was "not an accident", but a "deliberate murder."

The second half of the documentary describes in detail the cultural penetration process of the Federation and the Empire's response.

In the early days of Shi Born's rule, the empire still carried out countermeasures, but soon realized that the disadvantage on the battlefield of public opinion was too great - Shi Jintang completely gave up the Internet application market in order to join the Federal Interstellar Trade Alliance, causing residents to use Various Internet applications are all products of federal companies.

Even if you organize 1 or [-] navy forces, the other party can block all your navy forces with just one operator... How can this be fun?
So the cabinet quickly reached a consensus: due to input-output considerations, the empire should not bother to interfere with the federation's penetration of Takamagahara. Unless the people of Takamagahara awaken themselves, the empire will have to end.

In other words, it was felt that the people of Gaotian couldn't help him, and the cost of forcibly supporting him was too high, so it was better to let the federal elves be a scourge.

The facts are just as expected by the Imperial Cabinet. With the rise of the Democracy Party and the proliferation of self-media, the reputation of the Empire among the people of Takamagahara has deteriorated sharply. More and more people accept the federal cultural concept. The overall performance is more diverse and They are free and disobedient to authority, and these cultural traits are deeply abhorred by the empire.As a result, Takamagahara's evaluation by the Empire was further reduced, and he was considered "not worth saving". In the end, the federal mining ship destroyed Takamagahara, and the Empire stood aside and watched indifferently.

At the end of the documentary, imperial historian Professor Yi Zhenglan gave a final conclusion on the destruction of Gao Tianyuan:

"...The reason for the destruction of Takamagahara was not because of animal protection, equal rights and left-wingers, nor because of anti-authority and support for the Democratic First Party, but because the rulers and people were too arrogant."

"In the universe, survival is not something that is easy to come by. People must have a keen enough perception of the general environment. Especially in a star region like Takamagahara, which is located between the dangerous gaps between two major forces, it is even more important to recognize their own situation at all times. "

"But in fact, the level of indifference to international politics among the people of Takamagahara is extremely shocking and speechless, and the lack of patriotic education within the sector is also very difficult to understand."

"During Shi Jintang's reign, the patriotic education curriculum left by Shi Zhiqing was abolished by the primary and secondary education reform plan. Protesters claimed that 'if the children don't know how the martyrs rescued Gao Tianyuan from the pirates, wouldn't it mean that the martyrs' bloody sacrifices were in vain?'," Shi Jintang said. The counterargument is that 'the reason why the martyrs sacrificed their lives is so that the children can live happily even if they know nothing'."

“This attitude of arrogance, ignorance and complacency led to the people of Takamama a few generations later not knowing that the Federation elves were malicious towards the human race, nor did they know to seek asylum from the empire, so that they were eventually plotted to destroy and their families were destroyed. "

"Now that the Federation is coming fiercely, all human races must learn from this and unite closely under the banner of the Empire. Otherwise, if you laugh at the people of Gaotian today and seek your own death, you will inevitably die violently and be laughed at by others tomorrow. Remember this."

The documentary ended here. It seemed that it was filmed by the empire and was an educational subject for the major human races within the empire.

But in the eyes of the refugees from Gao Tianyuan, it can be said that it was full of ridicule.Every sermon with a calm tone is like a knife stabbing Gao Tianyuan's heart... As expected of you, Xia Qingyu!
All I can say is well done.If the refugees who have seen this thing still have a favorable impression of the elves who "want to destroy the human race", it can only be said that there is something wrong with their minds.

Chen Ziang looked around again. The faces of the Gao Tianyuan refugees still had that indifferent expression.

But to be more precise, it seems like... some kind of forced, painful repression?

"Fuck you!" A heart-rending cry from someone unknown suddenly came from the distance, "You bastard elf, I'll kill your whole family!!!!!!!"

This thunderous roar seemed to have fired the first shot of the riot.The refugees who had been watching the documentary quietly just now suddenly broke out collectively for some unknown reason.

As if some spiritual virus was spreading rapidly, the refugees, infected with the raging disease, began to grab whatever they could get their hands on: whether it was a folding chair, a suitcase, a backpack, or something else, and push it against the wall. The TV screen on the screen was smashed violently.

Glass shards flew everywhere, and almost no wall-mounted display was spared. The refugees, who had not yet completely vented their anger, pointed their fingers at the strangers around them, and quarrels and fights spread like sparks.

"You bastard with a federal phone! Traitor!"

"Your clothes are from the Federation brand! Take them off!"

"Gather all the idiots in the Federation and burn them!"

Chen Ziang:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Wait, are you too extreme?
