"So...he was just pretending?"

"Only from an emotional point of view, yes." a1 nodded and said, "But most of what he said is true...at least he thinks it is true. As for that emotion, he probably hopes to add some credibility.

.”

"Is he really doing it for Umoyang?" He frowned, "He is a politician."

"Yes, he does seem to put Umoyan's national interests first." a1's answer to this question is quite certain, "He does have his own selfish motives, but he generally puts his personal interests and national interests first."

Combine them, or at least be on the same track. To put it simply, while serving the people, you can also reap some benefits for yourself."

"...What's the difference?"

"He will not harm the national interest for personal gain. Probably... similar to the difference between icing on the cake and adding insult to injury?"

After bidding farewell to A1, a hurried-looking Yang Yi made an appointment with A6. He felt a little uneasy, not about the illusory UED and Tal'darin, but about the Empire and Umoyan... to be precise, about their upper echelons.

, those politicians who talk about national interests and racial justice every day.

"Politicians of Umoyan...?" A6 was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and pondered for a long time, probably searching for information, then raised his head and replied, "The intelligence I have in my hand is collected by the empire, and it is not completely accurate.

…”

"...What about the empire?"

"Many, most of them are official files of the Imperial Administration Bureau and confidential files of the Imperial Security Bureau. What do you want to know?"

"I think..." Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to know what he wanted to know. Although he used to vent his thoughts about the empire's political system on various forums and websites in the empire every day when he was a clerk in the company.

, dissatisfied with the imperial government's rampant corruption and prevalent bureaucracy, but now that he really has a database like a6 in front of him that knows everything, he doesn't know what he should know.

"... Regarding the imperial government, what do you think of them?" After thinking about it, he decided to ask a6 for his opinion, "Corruption? Or what?"

a6 did not expect that he would ask this kind of question, but still subconsciously answered: "Loyalty."

"……loyalty?"

"Loyalty." She repeated the word, "Down to every Marine of the Empire, to every member of His Majesty's Cabinet, they are all extremely loyal to the Empire and to the Führer himself. This is the foundation of this huge machine of the Empire.

The most basic guarantee for the efficient operation of the bureaucratic machine."

"But...don't you know that corruption is rampant within the empire?" He asked doubtfully, "I won't talk about the countless confidential empire projects that have failed. I was still a company employee before leading the fleet.

Following my leader, I have met many imperial officials who want to take advantage of Naka..."

"It's like this. The amount of corruption within the imperial government every year is almost incalculable. Even the lowest administrative officials can embezzle dozens to thousands of credits every year." a6 did not refute.

"But... shouldn't this be cleared? Isn't this a bad thing?" a6's natural look made Yang Yi feel a little unreal and confused.

"Commander, human greed cannot be controlled forever." a6 shook his head, "This is what His Majesty once said at a cabinet meeting. What Your Majesty needs is a company that can survive for a long time.

government, rather than a clean but short-lived government."

"How can integrity be short-lived? There is something wrong with your logic!"

"Commander, there is a saying in Kehal: 'To serve as an official thousands of miles away, you only need food and clothing'. How many people among the tens of billions of humans in this sector can be honest and honest officials and serve the people wholeheartedly? Most people

Choosing to apply for a government position is nothing more than a bowl of food. In order to maintain a huge territory, the imperial government must bear the burden of an increasingly large and increasingly rigid bureaucracy. It is impossible for the government to give each position excessive financial expenditure to ensure that they will not

Greed for money - Moreover, greed is human nature and a subconscious behavior. When they can get more money, they will inevitably make a choice."

"For example, you chose to take on the three-no mission before, and you did so in order to obtain higher profits. If the imperial officials put the interests of the empire at risk in order to obtain more profits, then you

Isn’t it just to allow you to grab more profits and put the interests of all members of the fleet at risk?”

"...You are changing the concept, a6."

"I just want to give you a better understanding of why the Empire chooses to condone the corrupt practices that are prevalent in a limited way. The actual reasons are very complicated, and I may not be able to cover them in several chapters. What are the current practices within the Imperial government?

The shortcomings are all caused by the constraints of various parties. Everyone wants their government to be honest and serve the people, but there are always many things in the world that cannot go as we want...such as the mission you performed before."

"So I want to introduce my mother country in a good way... Although I am loyal to you now, the empire is the country that created me, and I prefer to view it in a more positive light... I also hope that you

It can be so. The empire has resisted the turmoil on the border and the economic crisis of the Camorian Federation from the outside, and created a stable living environment for the people under its command... However, I think you actually have more say in the empire, after all, you are

The people who actually live in the empire..."

"If I had the right to speak, I wouldn't ask you." Yang Yi rolled his eyes, "I haven't read any government white papers, I don't know any government data, and I don't know anything about the government's annual financial report analysis. You

If you ask me whether I love the Empire, I can still answer it, but if you want to ask me if the Empire is good...that's really not something I can answer."

"Huh..." a6 seemed to be relieved, "That's good, Commander. I originally thought you would be a person who hates the empire, but I didn't expect you really have... restraint. I'm sorry for saying that.

, but I think you should know that the current public opinion environment on the Internet is not so friendly to the empire, especially after what happened with Odin..."

"No." Yang Yi waved his hands quickly and said, "I don't have any restraint. Even a springtail has more restraint than me. I just don't want to be criticized for saying something without basis. I say the empire is good.

, there must be someone who can cite a bunch of examples to demonstrate why the empire has problems; when I say that the empire is not good, there will always be someone who can cite a bunch of arguments to argue how good the empire is. Instead of spending that time talking to them over and over again.

It would be better not to express our position clearly from the beginning than to argue all over the place about something that is unlikely to lead to any results.”

"Well...but first I have a question to ask you."

"you say."

"Why are you suddenly discussing this topic with me?"

"Um...for some indescribable reasons..."

(You may not understand what I want to say in these two chapters. In fact, I don’t understand either. It’s mainly because I’ve been terribly annoyed by certain things these past two days, so I wrote these things... It can be said to be a way to vent, everyone.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, just read it for fun. It’s a novel...ahem. I won’t go into details, someone knocked on the door, it seems they want to check the water meter...)
