The 21st century of gangsters everywhere

Chapter 171 169 Solve the root of the problem

"Beforehand, I absolutely hate being a villain." Li Ping's joking voice became calm and mechanical.

"What do you want to say?" Suzaku was a little uneasy.

"Do you know why District [-] is the area with the strongest resistance?" Li Ping sat down in a more comfortable position.

"Just now Z...Lelouch said it, because Neon suddenly surrendered when he still had enough power, and as far as I know, Lieutenant Colonel Fujido's "Miracle of Itsukushima" made KMF invincible after its debut For the first time, the Tania army was deflated.

However, before the miracle could happen a second time, Neon surrendered.This leaves the illusion of hope.But..." Suzaku clenched his fists tightly.

"Suzaku, let me ask you, what is your pursuit?" Li Ping leaned against a tree, sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and crossed his hands on his lap.He looked up at Suzaku.

"Take the right process to get the right result."

"So, is this idealism, or is it obsessed with one's own aestheticism?"

Suzaku was silent for a while.

"Can't answer for now? Looks like it's just a brat. Karen, how about you?" Li Ping turned to look at Karen who had changed her clothes.

"What is right? What is wrong? Right and wrong, who defines it? The strong? Or the winner? If you don't resist, you will die. What's wrong with resisting?"

"I've been through it once, wrong process with wrong result. After that, there's only endless emptiness and regret...

Seven years ago, I killed my father.The one who was called the last warrior, my father who insisted on a thorough war of resistance, Shumu Xuanwu. Suzaku clenched his fists. "At that time, father had to die. If he didn't die, the war would...everyone would die!" "

"So... the matter of persuading the military with his own death..." Karen was stunned.

"I thought this would end the war... that kind of war can't be won at all! It's just letting everyone die in vain!"

"Are you kidding me? Assassinating the supreme leader of the weak side can stop the war? Can it stop the neon from being destroyed? Can it reduce the casualties of the people? What kind of brain circuit can come up with this operation.

Because you can't win, then don't fight?Why do our soldiers exist and exist!It exists to protect the country and the people! Li Ping calmed down. "In addition, what is the result of your so-called mistake?" "

"A lot of people are still dead... that kind of starving scene..." Suzaku looked like he was about to cry.

"Wars are like this, especially in the occupied areas. Dead people can't be called the result. What is the result of your so-called mistakes? The neon defeat? Or, it gave everyone hope and spare power to resist." To be honest, Li Ping was a little bit curious. "If it's the former, isn't that what you want? If it's the latter, then you're a real dog."

"The former, I thought, as long as we give up resistance, the casualties will be much less...but..."

"Really, in order to reduce casualties. In other words, are you the kind who would pull the lever when encountering a trolley problem..."

"The trolley problem?"

"A lunatic has tied five innocent people to the tram tracks. A runaway tram is coming towards them and will run over them in moments. Luckily, you can pull a lever and the trolley will go the other way. On one track. However, the problem is that that lunatic also tied a person on another tram track. Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever. This is a more classic ethics experiment."

"Indeed, I would choose to pull the lever."

"But you underestimated the brutality of the invaders?"

"Yes."

"Is this the wrong result?"

"Isn't it?"

"Your actions at that time left the foundation for our present, the foundation of resistance. A large number of bloody young people are still alive, and the backbone of this country has not been broken. For us, this is a good result.

If, in the case of active resistance in the past, the Federation and the EU intervened, the country became a completely involuntary pawn, manipulated by three countries, and continued to fight on the land of this country until the last vitality of the country disappeared. .At that time, there was really no hope at all. "

"Then Suzaku, from our point of view, your so-called "wrong results brought about by wrong actions" is simply "bright results brought about by correct actions."

"Can you still understand it like this?" Kallen's mouth twitched, she didn't really understand those of you who kill people with words.

"Then, Suzaku, what is your philosophy? Or is it that you, who have been trying to be in danger all the time, are just seeking death? In that case, you are just an awkward brat who wants others to punish you." Li Lowering his eyes, he looked at Suzaku who was kneeling on the ground and covering his face. "It's dangerous without the power of faith. If you can't find your way, stay here today."

"Li... Lelouch said that Suzaku is one of his few friends..." Karen was a little embarrassed.

"I know, and I also know the value of Suzaku. However, in his current state, he can't do anything."

"Then tell me what I should do."

"Follow your own heart. If you have the strength, you can't change anything. Similarly, if you have thoughts, you can't do anything. You and Lelouch are like two sides of the same body..."

"In other words, you want me to assist Lelouch?"

"...I just sigh, you think about what you want to do." Li Ping said angrily. "I mean, Lelouch himself is a good-for-nothing. You can't even run 50 meters. You can't drive KMF every time. You can beat Lelouch five times with a goose. But you are an idiot with an empty mind. I don’t know what I want to do, but fighting is [-]/[-] with me, and I can play any tactics with Lancelot.”

"Then, you don't want me to help Lelouch, why are you talking so much to me here?"

"Don't forget, although I am the veteran of the Black Knights, I am also a new baron promoted by His Majesty Cornelia. No matter where you go, you will help my job and hinder another job."

"You are really contradictory...Your Excellency the Baron." Suzaku slowly stood up from the ground.

"In other words, did you choose Britannia?"

"No, I hope to follow you and see what you can do. If you can't do it yourself, please ask others to do it. That's what I think now."

"Let's just trust you, don't blame me if you become schizophrenic."

"Yes My Lord. But there is one more question, the tram problem, what would you choose?" Suzaku saluted suddenly, and then asked.

"Find that lunatic and kill him. Sacrifice the few to save the many, that's never the way it's played. This time it's five and one. So, next time it's 50 and 49? Next time it's five What about ten criminals and fifty innocent citizens? What about you and your parents next time?

Although the statement is a bit shameless, if the root of the problem is not solved, the problem will never be solved. "
