Chapter 107: Cognitive Impairment Once he differentiates, all the A's on the ship will go crazy...
Establishing a country on a local site is not without precedent.
The sky is big, the earth is big, and the universe is the biggest. Even though the territories of various countries are clearly divided, the emperor is far away. In the marginal areas that are difficult for the central power to cover, there are still many interstellar merchants, pirates, or anarchists wandering around.
From time to time, these people would find an abandoned space station, record a video and upload it to the Starnet, declaring their independence on the spot.
If we investigate their demands, most of them are just for tax evasion.
Therefore, the Empire and the Federation have long been accustomed to it and are too lazy to expend military force to clear out this group of unemployed vagrants. Besides, you say independence means independence?
Is it so easy to establish a sovereign state?
joke.
Without legal support, no matter how high they jump or how strong their mass base is, they are still an illegal gang.
Bai Ling held a meeting in the small cafeteria, ready to solicit the team's opinions, but unexpectedly the team leader came up and rejected him with this argument.
"Establishing a country requires inheritance and legitimacy. Otherwise, why would the monarchs in ancient Earth's history build temples for successive emperors, or fight for hundreds of years to gain the title of Roman legitimacy? In short, legitimacy is the most important thing."
What the team leader said does make sense.
"I think we should develop steadily for a while, and when we are stronger, we can fight back to the capital and take over the imperial government."
The team leader proposed the most pertinent approach.
This was also the path that the three people present had unanimously chosen in their previous lives.
But only Bai Ling knew that the "a while" mentioned by the captain would eventually drag on to twenty years. The longer the battle line, the greater the variables. If he were to live his life over again, Bai Ling would never take that difficult old path again.
But if we take a new route and directly declare the establishment of a country, where can we get "legitimacy"?
Bai Ling frowned and quickly recalled the history of the handover between the old and new empires, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
"As far as I can remember, Isupalaiso didn't seem to have issued an abdication edict."
After these words were spoken, Sava and the team leader were stunned, as if... was this really the case?
In everyone's memory, changes of dynasties are peaceful evolutions from top to bottom. The old emperor did not announce his abdication, nor did he hand over the scepter that symbolized the highest power of the empire. He simply replaced Cade with the ruler overnight.
At that time, everyone found it strange and thought that the old emperor was just temporarily in poor health and that Cade was taking charge of the government.
It was not until Cade announced the fall of the old empire that everyone woke up from their dream and was forced to accept the irreversible fact that the collapse of the building was inevitable.
Sava asked hesitantly, "You mean, Cade's regime might be illegal?"
This is too ridiculous. It seems impossible no matter how you think about it.
Bai Ling raised his sharp eyes: "We need someone who is familiar with the new and old imperial constitutions."
Leader: "Where can we find it now?"
Bai Ling and Sava looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes - North.
Previously in O'Drama's class, North was able to recite historical texts by heart, and even the teacher sent by the palace to brainwash him was speechless. It was obvious that he had some skills.
Sure enough, as soon as North joined the small dining table meeting, he was very excited: "If you want to talk about this, I'm not sleepy anymore."
He actually took out a thick stack of notebooks and started to go through them one by one.
Sava was shocked: "When did you take notes?"
North opened the book and said calmly, "When you were sleeping soundly during the day."
"...I hate you guys the most." Sava muttered angrily, but that didn't stop him from leaning over and leaning forward: "Let me have a look."
No one knew how long North had spent preparing these materials. They were well-cited and logical, and he even copied out the "Declaration of the Establishment of the New Empire" that had long been officially deleted, word for word. It can be said to be a human "Four Hundred Years of Imperial History."
"In fact, I discovered a long time ago that there is a bug in the laws of the new empire. The constitution does not clearly state that it overthrew the old empire. In other words, the national sovereignty of the old empire still exists in theory and law."
The three raptors' eyes lit up.
North turned a page and stood up his notes to show them as a PPT. "Moreover, the Interstellar Alliance also recognizes that the sovereignty of the Waterfowl Empire follows the emperor himself. Therefore, as long as the emperor is alive, the sovereignty will not be transferred. Unless he publicly hands over the scepter to the next emperor."
Bai Ling suddenly understood.
All the conflicts that had occurred between Kaide and Yu Chen in the past now had clear answers.
No wonder the stinky octopus always becomes impotent and furious, shouting things like “Old poisonous snake, old poisonous snake, I’ll kill you if you don’t hand over the scepter.”
It turns out that not having a scepter means that the position is not legitimate. If one day Lao Yi gets unhappy and swims out to hit the octopus with a stick, he would have every right to do so.
Yu Chen has always consciously kept this trick in mind.
Leaving a hope, an opportunity, and a bug that can be fully utilized for future generations.
Bai Ling said approvingly: "What a venomous old snake."
But when he thought back to his past life, his heart unconsciously tightened for a moment.
The mermaid left this loophole, perhaps hoping to set sail again one day. But he was like a person hiding meat and bones behind a garbage dump, guarding it year after year, but never waiting for a successor who understood his feelings.
"So," North gave a meaningful smile, "We can now skip the New Empire and directly inherit the national power from The One, and everything will be OK."
Bai Ling nodded slightly and said calmly: "I will discuss this matter with him."
Unexpectedly, the team leader reached out and grabbed him, and asked coldly: "Are you going to exchange conditions again?"
Bai Ling was startled: "Exchange what?"
"Just...an electric toothbrush."
The leader said the pronoun with difficulty, causing Sava to laugh. "The words 'go to bed' are hot or what?"
"You reminded me," Bai Ling dug into his pocket, took out a pill, and threw it into his mouth as if nothing had happened, "I'll make some small preparations first."
It just so happens that the medicine will expire if I don’t take it.
The leader's smile disappeared immediately, and he asked suspiciously, "What did you eat?"
"Egg-avoiding medicine."
"An omega wants to eat this?"
Bai Ling glanced at him and explained, "Just in case Lao Yi is in a good mood."
The leader asked incredulously: "...What if he's in a bad mood?"
Bai Ling thought about it and answered seriously: "Then I'll eat two."
Leader: “……???”
Have to endure it twice? ! Sacrifice yourself for the people, and go on adventures alone to fight monsters. As a beautiful omega, she was unfortunately spotted by the powerful and forced to submit to others in exchange for their benefits...
The captain's eyes suddenly became full of respect when he looked at Bai Ling.
North pretended to cry: "Ah, we little birds, we have become the playthings of power at such a young age."
"Toy?" Bai Ling was unaware and touched his chin: "It's still unclear who's playing with whom."
Having said that, he left. The ship will dock at the transfer station later, and he will have to control the docking.
The remaining three looked at each other in amazement. The leader hesitated for a while and asked, "Does Bai Ling... have some omega cognitive impairment?"
Savoie put his arm on the back of the chair and leaned back. "That's not the case. He probably just differentiated too late and was a beta for too long, so he doesn't have much gender awareness."
"Oh, yes. After counting with my fingers, the bird should be almost completely differentiated." North recalled the last time Bai Ling differentiated.
Sava's brows jumped: "I hope not on the boat."
Leader: “What?”
Savoyard looked strange: "Why? You brought so many alpha mercenaries with you. If he splits up, all the A's on the ship will go crazy."
·
Relying on his extraordinary memory and knowledge reserves, North successfully squeezed into the core group and became the fourth person in the leadership.
In the cockpit, North recorded in the logbook:
[Major event: The first Small Dining Table Representative Conference was successfully held. Participants: Bai Ling, Sava II, Huo Yuan, North]
Sava was amazed: "It's really realistic."
North glanced at him and tried to keep a low profile: "How else do you think I was put in jail?"
"Are you a restorationist?" Bai Ling turned around and interjected from the front row of seats.
"Well, not really. I just think that it is a great thing to be able to promote the progress of history, and I want to leave my name in the textbooks." North recalled the past, still vividly:
"I'm actually a lecturer in the history department of a university, and I've only been working there for two months. It's not easy to find a job these days, and I didn't know how to cherish it. I talked a lot with students during class, and when I got excited, I cursed the tyrant Cade. As a result, I was handcuffed and put in a car as soon as the get out of class was over."
"He was not even tried, but was sent directly to prison and sentenced to life imprisonment."
"At that time, I felt that this country was finished. It was completely finished."
North sighed, then suddenly changed the subject and chuckled, "But prison is fun, everyone is talented and speaks well, I like it there very much."
North is making fun of the situation.
But in a way, he was not exaggerating. Under the tyrant’s terror, prisons housed various political scientists, historians, sociologists, and linguists, all of whom were experts in using sharp tongues to resist the authorities.
I heard that because of the daily literary inquisition, so many people have been arrested that some liberal arts majors in universities are about to be banned.
The teacher is in jail, what is there to learn?
It can be said that the place with the strongest academic atmosphere in the entire empire is not the top journals, nor the interstellar discussion forums, but the small corner on the affiliated star when the prison is released at noon.
A group of people squatted there, discussing either Thus Spoke Zarathustra or Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, which stunned the prison guards.
In ancient times there was the "Frankfurt School", and today there is the "Prison School".
North said, half-seriously, "That's a good place, suitable for enlightenment and making friends. Since everyone can't use the terminal, they naturally have more ideas in their heads."
It is also very suitable for retreat and writing papers.
Bai Ling held the joystick with one hand and connected it to Gate 584 of the transfer space station with an accuracy of less than 0.001%. Only then did he relax his tense nerves and said seriously:
"Very good. When I have time, I will go to the prison to hold a large-scale job fair."
