Refining Star River

"Do you think Starfleet Bladeedge will rescue Mogan Prison?" The underground warden spread his hands.

"Isn't it their duty to protect the F404 star Mogan Prison?" Zhou Sen was a little puzzled by the underground warden's reaction. In his opinion, it was normal for Starfleet Bladeedge to send troops to rescue Mogan Prison.

"No, their duty is to defend the outer space of F404, not F404 and Mogan Prison."

"Is there a difference?" Zhou Sen was a little confused.

"The difference is very big. Simply put, if there is an enemy invasion in outer space, then it is the duty of the fleet to resist and defend. The prisoner of Mogan Prison escapes into outer space, and the fleet also has the responsibility of destroying it. However, that They all refer to outer space, not the planet surface of F404. In short, starfleet will not intervene in the management of Mogan Prison. Even if the Mogan Prison riots, they will stand by and watch. The only thing they can do is to control the situation on F404. ……In layman's terms, even if we control the planet, they will not care, but once we want to escape, they will ruin us unceremoniously."

"... "Zhou Sen is a bit unable to understand this management model.

"I know you can’t understand it, but that’s the truth. Moreover, starfleet and Mogan Prison are not affiliated, and no one will listen to each other. However, it is precisely this kind of management that avoids The collusion between the fleet and the prison has also led to the fact that Mogan Prison has not had a successful escape time for more than 700 years. The reason is that no one can get the starfleet in outer space while getting the Mogan Prison..."

"Really not one drop of water can leak out." Zhou Sen sighed.

"Of course, if you encounter special circumstances, Mogan Prison can also ask starfleet for help, but it seems impossible now." The underground warden said.

"Why?"

"The previous meteorite shower caused heavy losses to Mogan Prison. According to the inspection report, the meteorite came from outer space. The Bladeedge's accusation caused the blade fleet to engage in hostility with the prison, and then you killed Wang Zhong, who was acquainted with the military, and deepened the conflict between the two sides. Just a month ago, the angry Captain Michael was carrying a mecha. The troops started to ask crimes and destroyed the gates of the prison. Now that Mogan Prison is killed, they are too late to take pleasure in other people's misfortune. They send troops to rescue, don't even think about it!"

"So domineering." Zhou An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Sen's mouth. He had known the news that Captain Michael had smashed the door.

"The fleet is an army establishment and is under the jurisdiction of the federal government's military department. Naturally, a small warden will not be put in the eyes." The underground warden smiled bitterly, and he was trapped. In this steel prison, the more reason is the outer space starfleet, which changes defense every six months.

"In other words, if the human federal government does not send rescue troops, and aliens continue to invade, wouldn't it mean that Mogan Prison will be trapped alive?"

"Theoretically, the federal government will send police forces to rescue or order the military to send troops, but this process will be quite long."

"Why?"

"This speaking of which is very complicated, because the human federal government is composed of the five Great Empires. In fact, the federal government itself does not have an army. All the troops are affiliated with the five Great Empire armies and obey the command of the federal government, and because the army’s finances are composed of the five Great Empires. Empire provides that the army is actually outward devotion but inner opposition to the federal government...youngster, in layman’s terms, it’s all caused by money. The originally powerful human federal government is spending more and more money, but the fiscal revenue is not making ends meet. , Leading to a series of chain reactions. During peacetime, it’s okay. You can demolish the Eastern Wall to make up for the Western Wall. However, once you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, centralized power will quickly collapse..."

"You know the truth Many." Zhou Sen expressed his sincere admiration. He found that the underground warden was really knowledgeable and talented, and there was almost no one he didn't understand. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as knowledge of astronomy and geography.

"You will gradually know. More than 700 years ago, a political strongman appeared in the five Star Domains. He forced the five Great Empires to yield through a series of wars and ended the loss of life. The chaos has established a strong human federal government, which has allowed mankind to enter a period of peaceful development. However, no matter how powerful the regime is, it will slowly age. Over the past 700 years, the gap between the rich and the poor has grown and the wealth has been concentrated in a few. In the hands of people, some important government departments are also controlled by some Great Family gatekeepers. As the society develops, fiscal revenues are getting less and less. Government agencies have become bloated and procrastinated, their burdens are getting heavier and heavier, and they hold 80% of their wealth. However, the elite group in China did not assume the obligation to pay taxes. Instead, they used their power to evade taxes, relying on ordinary people to pay taxes and struggling to support them. As a result, the local government became strong and the federal government was gradually emptied..."

Zhou Sen feels Going to the underground warden was a little sad.

"How can I solve this problem?" Zhou Sen couldn't help asking.

"Break and start again."

"Do you mean to fight?" Zhou Sen was stunned. In Zhou Sen's view, war is extremely remote, because all wars recorded in history are more than 700 years ago.

"The concentration of wealth has caused a series of social problems to accumulate, and there is no way." The underground warden shook his head.

"Can’t it be reformed?"

"Of course it can be reformed. The question is, who will reform? You let the elites who hold 80% of the wealth reform their own Wealth to others? Well, maybe one or two people are willing to reform, but this ratio is not enough to turn things around. The only way is to start all over again. Moreover, this is the ultimate fate of all powerful Great Empires, from the Great Earth of Ancient Earth. Tang Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Roman Empire to the United States and Britain were the case. The society became more and more developed, tax revenues decreased, government departments became more and more bloated, social welfare and urban maintenance costs became higher and higher, and finally led to the collapse of the empire’s finances. , This is a closed loop." The underground warden showed melancholy on his face.

Zhou Sen looked at the underground warden in a daze. He suddenly felt that the old man was strange.

Is this the underground warden you know?

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Zhou Sen, the underground warden couldn't help but ask.

"You are not bad." Zhou Sen said.

"Bad...what is the definition of bad?" The underground warden laughed blankly.

"What do you think?"

"A man is a murderer, he is merciless, and he has an immortal karma, and he is all in the murder! Killing one is a crime, but slaughter is a male. If you slaughtered nine million, you are the hero! You said, among the heroes and emperors in history, how many of them are the kind? ...Is it necessary to kill people to make meritorious service?"

"hahahahaha......youngster, you are the number one gangster in the interstellar, and you ask such naive and ridiculous questions."

" Ashamed." Zhou Sen has a fever on his face, and he forgot who he is now.

"youngster, killing one person can save hundreds of millions of people, how do you choose?"

"Kill one person."

"Yes. That's it! Hold on to you You only need to have a clear conscience!" The underground warden said meaningfully.

"I'm curious, why did they imprison you for more than seven hundred years?" Zhou Sen asked.
