Absolute freedom definitely did not mean absolute fairness and justice. This was a simple and correct statement, because freedom had no logical relationship with the latter two nouns. However, Li Pifu had pointed out that the uncle's resistance against The Glory Of The Charter had nothing to do with freedom, which still made Xu Le feel very unhappy.
The camouflage chip behind his neck that allowed him to freely travel around the Federation had been with him for a very long time. For him, the chip and the method the uncle taught him were the same as freedom. Even though he had a weird friendship with the Federal Central Computer later, it was still the same.
"I don't want to discuss the relationship between the chip and the dog leash, the 700,000-word restriction clause of the First Charter, and the practical significance of the Federation's surveillance network for a galactic regime."
"This can be mentioned." Xu Le frowned and said, "I once thought about this question when I was young, but I didn't have an answer."
"You've been to the Imperium." Li Bofu looked into his eyes and said, "If you want to maintain a space regime that is so vast, and the speed of information exchange and the transmission of force has different levels, if you don't have a comprehensive electronic monitoring network, then … there is only massacre."
Xu Le was silent.
"Don't continue with this question." The old man coughed twice, his thin chest rising and falling violently, making the milky hot spring water ripple. "What I want to say is the man's attitude. A person who has the ability to surpass the control of the state apparatus is trying to break through the security system at the bottom of society. What he pursues is freedom without control … The scary thing is that he has this ability, so who knows what he will do?"
"This is still based on the assumption that the uncle is a bad person." Xu Le shook his head.
"When human beings were born, there was no good, evil, good, or bad. Therefore, human beings can become good or bad at any time." Li Pifu said indifferently, "And for him, George Carlin, breaking through The Glory Of The Charter … these enormous revenge plans that even made me feel uneasy … He was not in the mood to carry them out. Instead, he played with them irresponsibly for a few years and then threw them away.
"He played countless roles in the Federation and made countless friends, but did he care about any of them? Have you contacted anyone else? When that gentle and loyal man from the previous generation of the Tai family died of depression because of him, did he return to S1 to take a look at him? "
"If such a person isn't heartless and cold, who else is worthy of these four words?"
"It is also because of this that I feel cold, and even fear."
…
…
"So the Federation wants to arrest him, and you want to kill him?"
"No, he's my blood brother, and he got to know that good friend of mine at Ewha University. Before he really did something unforgivable, no one in the Federation government would think of dealing with him, even if they found out later that he was George Carlin."
"As for whether the Bureau of Proclamation investigated him, I didn't know the details back then."
"I'll say the same thing again. If I had known that things would develop like this, I would have killed him myself."
…
…
"What happened after that? How did the uncle become the most wanted criminal? And with the identity of the mechanic Feng Yu? "
The old man waved his hand and signaled for him to continue scrubbing his back. He said in a low voice, "What happened after that is still a very cliché story. This story is very cliché, and it's related to a woman."
Xu Le twisted the wet towel in his hand into a flower, and his eyebrows furrowed into a flower. He asked uncertainly, "Shui 'er's mother?"
"I don't know the details in the beginning because it happened in the Empire. I also don't know when he, who was playing the role of the mechanic Feng Yu, got together with her."
"She was Teacher's youngest daughter, much younger than all of us. When I went to the Empire as a child, she hadn't given birth yet. I didn't even see her. I only knew that she became the Empire's empress later on. "
"That year, the Federation prepared for a very long time and started to attack the Empire's territory. I also prepared for a very long time, and so did Madam. All the war preparations were very rich, enough to support a war that spanned the entire region."
"Mr. President and we all believed that even if we couldn't take down Tianjing Planet in this war, we would definitely be able to drag down the Empire's Baiyan Dynasty."
"However, the intelligence system didn't discover one thing: the Empire's empress had secretly escaped from the palace with a maid and a baby. She lived in seclusion on a planet at the border of the Empire."
"And that planet was an important strategic base target in the Federation's military plan."
"Xu Le, you've fought in wars before, so you should know the ironclad rule of the battlefield."
"People will always die in wars."
"Teacher's youngest daughter, the Empire's empress, was also an ordinary person, so she also died."
"Mu Zi, who was still a baby at that time, was also in a dangerous situation in the flames of war."
"The Federation's frontline troops thought that they had already controlled the situation and transported the most important batch of strategic resources to the border planet."
"At this time, perhaps it was to take revenge for the Empire's empress, or perhaps it was to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Mu Zi. In any case, he wanted to do something."
"The Federal Central Computer was secretly investigating him at that time, and The Glory Of The Charter had already extended a few tentacles. Although he was indeed a crazy genius, it was very difficult for him to do anything under those circumstances."
"So, he really went crazy."
Li Pifu's tone became colder and colder.
Hearing these words, Xu Le's straight eyebrows raised more and more. He said, "The woman is dead, and the daughter is about to die. Anyone would go crazy."
Li Pifu looked at him coldly and said, "That was a huge explosion at the reserve base. The Federation's most elite mechanized troops sacrificed 76,311 people in this explosion."
"The final official report only admitted that slightly more than 10,000 people sacrificed, but in reality, 76,311 people died."
"As for the soldiers who lost their ability to fight, there were even more of them."
"The seventy-four tons of crystal mines that Lady Tai ordered the Crystal Mining Consortium to prepare with all its might were all destroyed in this explosion."
"The Federal forces were forced to withdraw."
"The war that had been prepared for eight years ended just like that."
"The official report said that countless soldiers of the Imperium received the military deployment provided by the traitor and turned out in full force, so the Federal forces were forced to withdraw. In fact, this was not the case."
"All of this was just the result of the madness of that cold and heartless man."
The distant foreign planet, the princess of the Imperium who was running away with her illegitimate daughter in her arms, the ambitious iron stream of the Federation on the planet filled with smoke, the mechanic who was wearing an old military uniform and staring indifferently at the distance, the terrifying explosion, and thousands of frustrated soldiers who were about to die.
Countless bloody pictures flashed in front of Xu Le's eyes quickly. He jumped into the slightly hot spring pool, but his body was still cold, and he began to shiver.
