Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 1185 The Importance of Education

"I hate to say this, but the reality is that the soft approach doesn't work for the people in this place."

Lorgar was still explaining his reasons.

"When these foolish people receive synthetic food, they will thank their gods instead of thanking us."

"They think that we are the ones sent by their gods to save them."

"They didn't warmly welcome our administration, they didn't warmly welcome our ideas, and when I burned the first idol, they rebelled."

Lorgar was indignant.

"Use the industrial equipment we give them to produce weapons to fight against us."

"They eat the food we give them and rebel against us."

"..."

"What do you see, Lorgar?"

Luo Jia's words were suddenly interrupted by Qin Mo.

Hearing the question "What did you see?", Luo Jia looked puzzled.

Qin Mo pointed to the religious building that jutted out from the sea of ​​clouds ahead: "What do you see?"

"The temples," Lorgar answered. "They are beautiful... You don't mean to say that it is a pity that these temples are demolished?"

Qin Mo patted Luo Jia on the back of his head, then pointed to the temple in front and said, "What I see is not the building, but what these appearances represent."

Lorgar frowned: "What is the religious belief of the Los people?"

"correct."

Qin Mo went on to say what he was thinking.

"When I came here, I saw that other worlds in the Los galaxy were very barren. Only Los One had such a huge temple building."

"What does this show? It shows that the Los System is very poor, but they would waste their resources and manpower on building an extremely magnificent temple that is even larger than the Terran Council building."

“What drives them to do this?”

"It's their faith, and it means they take their faith very, very seriously."

At this point, Qin Mo looked at Luo Jia and asked, "If someone peed on my statue, what would you do?"

"I'll hammer that man's head and legs into his own chest!" Lorgar said through gritted teeth.

"That's it." Qin Mo looked at the temple again. "The Los people are not as strong as you. They can't smash people's heads into their chests, but they will resist. They will fight against those who violate their beliefs. So they welcomed your rule at the beginning, but when you burned the first statue, they rebelled."

Hearing this, Luo Jia pondered for a few seconds.

Then he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did: "That's true, but I can't completely not interfere with their beliefs, right? They believe in the so-called God of Corruption and Rebirth, that damn plague pig in the warp. I can't allow them to continue to believe in that monster anyway."

Qin Mo nodded.

The Primarchs all knew of the existence of the Warp and the Gods, and this matter was not hidden from them now.

The beliefs of the Los people are actually a form of Nurgle's beliefs.

"There's nothing wrong with your idea, but your method is wrong." Qin Mo said, "I know your starting point is good, but don't start yet."

Luo Jia nodded and listened silently.

"First, the Los people have practiced their own religion for three thousand years, but there are not many signs of the influence of the Ria space in this system, because it is very, very far from Cygnus Anomaly X or other subspace rifts."

Perturabo still observed the Eye of Terror and temporarily named it Cygnus Anomaly X. "There are no psykers in the Los system either. This is related to their ancestors. Their ancestors were firmly opposed to psyker technology in ancient times."

"Then we won't have to use strong measures to eliminate their beliefs in a very short period of time."

Lorgar probably knew how the Lord of Flame wanted to deal with Los, and he had also read what he said, but he had to admit that he hadn't thought that much about it.

The people of Los might believe in Nurgle. When Lorgar discovered this, the first thing he thought of was not to rule them first, but to bomb the major cities of all the worlds in the Los system.

"Then we ruled them normally, established industrial areas, agricultural areas, and residential areas."

"The industrial zone produces simple synthetic foods, and the agricultural zone produces crops that must be grown in the soil, such as the raw materials for the medicine we use."

"First, make sure they have a better life than before."

"Then we will transfer people to establish the local media system in Los, identify the religious members of Los through peaceful negotiations, and compile an assassination list."

"We exchanged interests with local religious figures and tried to get us to take over the education that was originally provided by religious schools. In the process, we bribed and intimidated the middle-level sect members under the bigwigs."

"Ask your twin brother to send two people over here and kill them one by one according to the assassination list. There is no doubt that the Los people will most likely find something wrong when the assassination is in progress, but the media controlled by us will make it impossible for ordinary Los people to see any clues at all."

Speaking of this, Qin Mo looked down on those temples.

"The children of the Los people will question the beliefs of their elders because of the conflict between their education and their beliefs, and then pretend to obey their parents' teachings but actually disobey them. Education will let them know where everything they have comes from, and let them know how ridiculous the gods their parents believe in are."

"In a few generations, the so-called gods that the Los people are rebelling for now will become forgotten garbage in the stinking gutters on the street in less than two hundred years, and the statues that were once placed in the magnificent temples will be worthless in the antique market."

After saying that, Qin Mo thought for a while.

Everything he thought of was based on the ability to make powerful interference and resource investments in a recovered galaxy.

If time is of the essence, then for a place like Los, either ignore it or kill everyone.

But now we have the ability to interfere and the resources to invest, so it is necessary to carefully manage a recovered world or even a galaxy.

"It's not like I can't think of that..." Lorgar said in a low voice.

"I know you can think of it, you just hate the beliefs of the Los people. Don't let hatred take away your ability to think." Qin Mo said.

Lorgar nodded silently, sitting on the ground with his legs hugged, staring at the temples that were being demolished.

Qin Mo stood up, leaned on Luo Jia's shoulder, and looked up at the sky: "Malcador thinks you should all learn some management knowledge."

"Malcador? His original words must not be so gentle, right?" Lorgar turned around and asked.

Qin Mo nodded.

Machado's original words were indeed not so mild.

At the last meeting, Malcador had raised a problem with the Great Crusade, which was the priority of force over governance.

The managers carefully trained by Terra are ready to make their mark after graduation, but they cannot do whatever they want. They have to listen to the military. Just like in the case of Lorgar, if the Seventeenth Legion does not allow the management department to intervene in the jurisdiction of the Los Galaxy, then they cannot intervene.

Malcador said that too much power was given to those problem children and warriors. If the Primarchs, Thunder Warriors, and even the military commanders of the mortal army and navy did not want to learn more management knowledge, they should get out of the jurisdiction of the recovered galaxies.

In this matter, Qin Mo thought Makado was right.

But as more and more things need to be dealt with, and the territory under the Double-Headed Eagle becomes larger and larger, he will conflict with Malcador and the Emperor on some issues.

Qin Mo felt that Astartes should be given a representative seat in parliament.

Malcador couldn't object, but the Emperor above him could.
