While Jinchu and other poor students were sympathizing with each other while holding huge amounts of study materials, Governor Ye, who had caused this situation, was also being questioned by his superiors about this matter.
"Yes, I lowered the bar. I don't think it's a bad thing... Belfield has been in chaos for a long time, and a large number of its young and middle-aged citizens are unemployed and idle. This is the hidden danger of the entire planet... Yes, this is not within my scope of responsibility, but as the military governor, I also have the responsibility to protect the stability of the planet."
"As for the military, the planet of Belfield has long been in a state of disorganization. Most of the current soldiers don't meet the standards. The army needs fresh blood... Lowering the admission threshold will both educate more people and train more reserve forces. It's a win-win situation."
Ye Ruisheng spoke to the old man on the communication screen in front of him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. The old man had white hair on his temples and a kind face. He always had a smile on his face, but the shrewdness in his eyes and the aura of having been in a high position for a long time made people not mistake him for an ordinary old man.
In fact, this person is Speaker Yang Nianzheng, the most experienced among the twenty-three Speakers of the Parliament. He has been in the position of Speaker for more than a hundred years. Now at the age of 165, he has officially entered the old age stage for the imperial people whose average age is around 200 years old.
The Speaker never formed cliques or joined any factions. He was so upright that he was almost rigid. But it was probably because of this that he was able to hold on to his position despite more than a hundred years of ups and downs. Other Speakers and the royal family all respected him very much.
However, surprisingly, last year he stood out to support Ye Ruisheng and personally presided over Ye Ruisheng's awarding ceremony.
It can be said that this old man made great contributions to Ye Ruisheng's successful promotion to lieutenant general, the 75th Legion becoming the 7th Army Group, and even Ye Ruisheng's appointment as the military governor of the planet Belfield.
At this moment, the old man was looking at Ye Ruisheng through a virtual screen, but there was no usual smile on his face. The deep thought and scrutiny in his eyes were almost sharp.
"Lieutenant General Ye, do you know why I agreed to let you go to the planet Belfield?" he asked, his voice revealing the hoarseness and slowness unique to the elderly. This old man was a little older than his appearance showed.
Ye Ruisheng didn't shy away from his gaze. "The conflict between the royal family and the parliament is intensifying, and the six major armies are fighting each other. The Speaker, with foresight, has asked me to stay away from the conflict and carve out new territory."
The old man shook his head and smiled: "This is not my foresight, it's your own idea."
After he finished speaking, he sighed. In the current empire, the royal family was unwilling to continue to be a mascot and wanted to regain control of the country. How could the parliament, as the de facto ruling body, be willing to give up the power in its hands?
And the famous six major armies have become the private weapons of one or some families for thousands of years. They divide and occupy the military resources of the empire. Although they also perform the duty of defending the country, seeking benefits for their own camps overrides their natural duties.
The so-called military weapon has long been a misnomer.
The entire empire was prosperous on the surface, but it was already in turmoil inside.
Yang Nianzheng has been worried about this for many years and has been actively uniting like-minded people. He has been paying attention to the young man Ye Ruisheng for a long time.
He was born in a humble family but was gifted. He joined the army since he was young and earned the honor of being the youngest major general in the empire with his solid military achievements. None of the talented people that the big families had cultivated with countless resources could compare to him.
The most rare thing is that this man is a natural leader. He started with a group of a dozen personal soldiers and led a 75th Legion of hundreds of thousands of people.
Three years ago, Ye Ruisheng returned after being attacked. The outside world speculated that Ye Ruisheng's mental strength had collapsed and he was about to become a disabled person, and they were eager to divide up his 75th Legion.
He himself did not clarify the rumors, nor did he give any explanation. He simply defeated the ace pilot of the First Army with an ordinary mecha in a military exercise, trampling on the top-configured AB-type all-round mecha and the reputation of the First Army.
For a whole year afterwards, no one dared to attack his legion, but Ye Ruisheng himself also faded from everyone's sight.
It was at that time that Yang Nianzheng tried to contact this young man. Everyone thought that Ye Ruisheng had found a way to get him as a backer, but Yang Nianzheng knew better than anyone that they had reached an unspoken cooperation after many conversations.
He gave Ye Ruisheng a chance, and Ye Ruisheng built a different army for him to see.
A new force that can bring new vitality to the empire and compete with the six major armies.
Yang Nianzheng had a good idea, but at the beginning of this year, Ye Ruisheng suddenly asked to come to the planet Burfield and use it as a development base. Yang Nianzheng felt that this was also a way out. After all, the development space of the Seventh Army within the empire had been intentionally or unintentionally compressed too small.
But it was not until today that the old man realized that what the young man wanted to run might be more than just an army group.
Ye Ruisheng seemed to sense what the old man was thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Speaker. I don't have any ambitions to create a country within a country. It's just that military development requires fertile soil. I really regret that some talented people are buried because they don't have the opportunity to learn. Besides, I respect Her Royal Highness the Princess very much and have no intention of taking advantage of her."
Yang Nianzheng shook his head and smiled. That princess? It wasn't hard to tell what the royal family was planning by sending this most beautiful and unmarried princess to be the chief consul.
He hoped that Ye Ruisheng would bring about a new atmosphere. The royal family might be more eager to see that day than he was. If a princess could be used to win over a newly emerging young and powerful army leader, His Majesty the Emperor would wake up laughing in his sleep, right?
From this perspective, I'm afraid that His Majesty actually regarded the planet Belfield as a gesture of goodwill.
Thinking of this, the old man felt a little bored and fearless. There was a reason why the royal family was forced to this point by the parliament.
"Forget it, you can do whatever you want. There will be some noise here, and I will help you suppress it. Do what you want."
After the old man finished speaking, he cut off the communication. The virtual screen in front of Ye Ruisheng turned off. He leaned back slightly in his chair and looked out the window. It was still late at night outside. He was called out from the star network and hurried back to the Governor's Mansion without even having time to change his clothes.
Lowering the threshold for military academies allows a large number of ordinary people to access knowledge and equipment that were originally only accessible to A, B, and AB type evolved humans. This may seem like a simple change, but the series of changes it causes are enormous.
Without going into details, the first phenomenon that resulted was...
"Ahhhhh! What on earth does this mean? Why is this hovercar moving this way, then that way, speeding up, then slowing down, then diagonally upwards, then rushing towards the ground? Can't it just drive properly?"
In the slums of District 9, in a shabby courtyard, all the lights were on, the whole room was bright, in the place with the best light. Jin Chu was lying in front of a table, looking at the test paper in his hand with tears in his eyes. In front of him, all kinds of learning materials were spread all over the table. He read one and threw it away. It was not that he understood or learned something, but he could not understand any of them!
On the small table next to them, on the bed, and on the floor, the three dark and thin brothers were also holding their books and reading them attentively.
Since the bloody incident that day, Jinchu had nothing to sell to them, but he did not distance himself from them. He still liked these three humans very much, and they especially respected him, and both sides were very happy to get along with each other.
Jinchu told them that he planned to open a scrap collection station in the future. They thought this was a very promising thing and helped Jinchu run around and completed the transfer of the business license.
Because the old man at the scrap collection station was too lazy to do so, he gave the remaining scraps to Jinchu. Jinchu didn't want them, and there was no alloy in them. But the three brothers thought it was a waste to throw them away, so they searched through the pile of scraps every day, just like they were shopping on Taobao. In the end, they found a bunch of things they thought were still valuable, and moved them to their yard again and again.
Jinchu took a look and thought, okay, the prototype of the scrap collection station is already there, so he simply hung up the scrap collection sign. It turns out that in the past two days, some people actually came to sell scrap, and the three brothers were very happy to be busy. However, so far, the scrap has only been coming in and not going out, and the small yard is almost full.
Tonight, Jinchu received a lot of learning materials on the Star Network. He lost interest in continuing to browse the Star Network. He logged off in a daze and ran to the three brothers, wanting his only human partner to help him see what all these things were.
Then the three brothers were excited. It turned out that they had good academic performance when they were young, but because of the high tuition fees and the various bullies and chaos in the school, they all dropped out of school. Now they heard that the military academy had relaxed the admission conditions, and they were more excited than each other.
That's a military academy. Even if you can't get into a top-notch major, whatever you learn there will be enough to brag about for the rest of your life!
Then the three brothers used their own light computers to understand the situation. Their light computers could not log into the star network, but they could all enter the official website of the military academy which was just set up today, and downloaded a set of basic knowledge that all majors need to take.
Because their optical computers were rather damaged, the screen would flicker if left on for a long time, which was very harmful to the eyes. So they dug out an old-fashioned printer and a stack of yellowed and mildewed paper from a pile of waste, and started printing out the books. They were also very kind and used the best paper to print out a lot of books from Jinchu's optical computer. Then they all read them with great interest and eagerness to learn.
Jinchu: Dead fish eyes.
Can we still be happy friends?
