The Wheel of Chronos

The study room of the Spencer mansion is as magnificent and full of buildings as in memory. In this era of electronic reading for all people, you can see such a large-scale paper book group, except for the public library.But right now, Sharon didn't care about these things. She was thinking about how to explain everything to her father.

"Sharon? Don't you have something urgent to tell me? Why didn't you speak for a long time after you came in? Dad is really in a hurry." After Nulent entered the study, he stood behind Sharon for a while, and saw that his daughter had been turning her back to her. Standing and not speaking.So he took a few steps and sat on the chair behind the large desk in the study.

"Father, I want to ask you, did you organize a team and let them go out of the country secretly to the ruins of CERN in Geneva, old Switzerland?"

Nurent raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and couldn't completely hide his surprise for a moment.Even if he had great concentration, he was extremely surprised when he heard such words from his daughter's mouth.Only a very small number of people knew about this matter, and they were all people he trusted, but how did his daughter know about this matter?

"Sharon, why...why do you know about this?" Nulent was dumbfounded for a moment, facing his daughter in silence for a long time, and could only ask this question.Since his daughter would mention this matter to him, it was obvious that she was not defrauding him, but had already known about his plan, so there was no need for him to keep it a secret.

But Sharon did not answer this question, and instead said:

"Father, no matter what your purpose is, space-time blasting must never be done. This will cause disordered fluctuations in the space-time of the earth, and will cause a series of disasters, but it still cannot send the Lemuria continent back."

Nurent stood up abruptly, walked quickly to Sharon's side, and asked in a low voice:

"How on earth do you know these things?"

"I have my channel, Dad, not only I know about you, but also leaked to other forces, someone wants to assassinate you for this, to prevent you from blasting the CERN space-time rift. I know that the blasting authority is in your hands, Only you can activate it, give up this matter now, and immediately fall to the royal family to accept asylum, it is still too late." Xue Lun said.

Nurent seemed to be angry. Sharon could clearly see the veins on his forehead and the anger in his eyes, but his good cultivation and tolerance for his daughter forced him to suppress his anger, and said slowly:

"Sharon, this matter is not as simple as you think. Dad has no choice but to do this. It must be done. This is Dad's painstaking efforts for several years, and it cannot be wasted overnight."

"I don't understand why such a high-risk, low-return thing, even without any certainty, is something that must be done?"

Nurent sighed deeply, pointed to the guest chair in front of the desk, and asked Sharon to sit down, while he walked back behind the desk and sat down slowly.He took out his pipe, lit the tobacco, took a deep breath, and began to narrate in the misty smoke:

"Sharon, if you want to understand why this is necessary, first of all you need to understand the current political/situation of the empire. You are also grown up, and it is time to get in touch with these.

The predecessor of the empire was the federation, and the federation was formed by the collective union of the people of the remaining nation-states after countless catastrophes.You have studied history. Nation-states existed for more than 300 years before the catastrophe, not to mention the nation itself, which existed for thousands of years.This kind of deep-rooted thing cannot be diluted overnight.Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, a policy of different treatment was made for the descendants of various nationalities.Because on this last home land, some ethnic groups are strong and some are weak, it is impossible to treat them all equally, otherwise it will cause all kinds of dissatisfaction and cause social unrest.On the surface, the Federation has adopted the old-fashioned approach of the United States, where multiple ethnic groups coexist on an equal footing, and integrate the country in the way of an immigrant country.But with the passage of time, problems gradually began to be exposed, and social contradictions became more and more acute, which was largely related to the conflicts between various ethnic groups.Each ethnic group has different cultural traditions and habits, and when they live together, conflicts are absolutely unavoidable.

The land we live in used to be the land of old China, and the Chinese population is currently the largest population. The Chinese people think it is their homeland. They can allow so many ethnic groups in the world to immigrate because of their tolerance and patience. The spirit of helping the world, but they must not be reduced to second-class citizens in this land.The Germans are also a strong nation. Because of the unity of the nation and the high efficiency of cooperation with each other, they had the strongest armed forces at the beginning of the federation integration. After that, the federation was ruled by Germans for a long time.Chinese, German, Russian, and descendants of several relatively developed countries in the old days became the main components of the upper class of the Federation at that time. We British were not very powerful at the time, but we were not thrown out of the first group anyway.

The United States in the old days relied on the so-called universal ideology of freedom and democracy to instill in all its citizens, allowing them to deal with ethnic conflicts among themselves according to an existing thinking system.The way they deal with the problem is something we can't even imagine now.Let me give you a simple example. The smell of curry from your Indian neighbor is so irritating to you. If you come to ask him for advice, he can reply you: This is a free country.This sentence will make you speechless, and then you can only go to the community social worker to coordinate and solve the problem, maybe this problem will never be solved, you can only hypnotize yourself with 'thisisafreecountry' until you completely accept this point of view— — This is their freedom, I have to tolerate it.In addition, the old United States was an out-and-out capitalist country, and the best tradition of the country was to make money, which is the so-called American dream.Everyone looks at money, and money is actually the universal value of American society, so this country can be integrated relatively smoothly.

The Federation's solution to this problem is the most simple and crude, and it also leaves a lot of hidden dangers to the current empire, that is, the Nine Gods System.The Commonwealth has forcibly shifted all the contradictions in the society with the spiritual suppression of the Nine Gods System. The focus of everyone's attention is not the differences in culture and beliefs, but the distinction between camps.For a period of time, various nations even forgot their own traditions and beliefs, were brainwashed by Nine Gods, and fell into stupidity and fanaticism.

After the Great Revolution led by His Majesty ended, the Nine Gods System collapsed, and everyone's minds were liberated and they were all free.As a result, the conflicts that had been transferred came back, and the confused people lost the illusory belief in the 'Nine Gods', so they naturally wanted to find back their traditional culture and beliefs.At the beginning of the empire, a policy of encouraging this was implemented. It can be seen from the division of administrative divisions that Beijing, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, etc., although each region has a large area Small, but politically equal.All ethnic groups reunited and re-inherited and carried forward the glorious traditions of their own nation.

Due to the invasion of the continent of Lemuria, the most acute contradiction in society has become a racial conflict with invaders from another world. Therefore, for nearly five years after the end of the Three-Year War, the interior of the empire was relatively stable, and the There are not too many social contradictions.But as time passed, new problems arose.During the three-year war against Lemuria, the empire adopted crowd tactics. At that time, the most populous ethnic Chinese in the empire suffered the most tragic sacrifices, so that the population of the empire dropped sharply, and a considerable part of it was due to the decrease in the number of Chinese.After the war, due to the financial difficulties of successive years of wars, the compensation for casualties was not in place, which caused dissatisfaction among the largest ethnic Chinese in the empire. You should remember that the large-scale veterans' parade/demonstration protest seven years ago almost broke out bloodshed Conflict is the most serious outbreak of conflict.

You also know that the finance minister after the war was not originally me, but Bruno, a senior German official.He was a hidden member of the Rudolph Group during the federal era, and was not completely cleaned out at the beginning.During his tenure as Minister of Finance after the war, he tilted a large number of pension policies towards Germans and suppressed Chinese, which caused ethnic conflicts between Germans and Chinese to break out. "

Sharon was very clear about everything up to here.But her father suddenly mentioned the former Minister of Finance Bruno, which made her suspicious, and she couldn't help but interrupted and asked:

"Why didn't His Majesty dispose of this person in time? Isn't the Ministry of Finance's policy to be submitted to Congress for approval? If the policy is unreasonable at first, it should not be passed. Your Majesty has a veto power."

"That's right. Bruno is cunning. There is nothing wrong with the post-war military pension policy he submitted to the Congress, and the Congress headed by His Majesty approved it. But in the process of implementation, he deceived others and did not follow the policy at all. Since the local governments in each region have a considerable degree of autonomy, local officials in Berlin and other German-inhabited areas are in collusion with him, which also provides him with great convenience in carrying out black-box operations. Of course, he also benefited from it He reaped huge benefits. At that time, the German area was a high-incidence area of ​​corruption. Of course, within a year or two, the policy problems he formulated were exposed, and naturally he also stepped down.

What I want to say is that because of the historical issues I mentioned earlier and the stimulation of Bruno's slanting policy, the conflicts between Chinese and Germans have become more and more acute.His Majesty is of Chinese descent, but he does not work for the welfare of Chinese descent, which makes many people feel chilled.In order to alleviate the conflict, His Majesty appointed me as Minister of Finance and re-introduced a series of pension policies, but this undoubtedly touched the cake of vested interests. Nationality, many people of German descent approached these senior German officials, hoping to keep the cake they got.Not everyone can be selfless. Although His Majesty's policy was firmly implemented in the end, it caused some anti-imperial forces to appear within the Germans.These anti-imperial forces later directly stepped onto the political stage and developed into a party with a large number of people-the Conservative Party.Today's Conservative Party has a rather complex membership structure, not only of German descent. The development of the past few years has allowed them to absorb a lot of forces opposing the royal family, and their political purposes have become more complicated.

The New World religious activities became more and more rampant, becoming a more serious factor of instability.This has led the Conservative Party to play tricks on the New World Christians.They want to use the New World Cultists to reach a certain degree of cooperation, with the purpose of changing the current hostile attitude of the empire towards Lemuria.The New World Religionists are not just those extreme terrorists. In fact, those extreme terrorists are a minority. There are a large number of members that you cannot see, lurking among ordinary people.They are the guides of the direction of public opinion. Over the past few years, they have influenced the thinking of quite a few people invisibly, making many people think that there is no need for us to go to war with Lemuria, and we can coexist peacefully.Gradually, the voices of anti-soldiers and anti-war gradually rose, which overlapped with the legacy of the old pension issue, making it more difficult to recruit soldiers, and the common people were unwilling to serve as soldiers.In this way, the royal family of the main combat faction was hindered.The military expenditure approved by the Congress was forced to decline year by year, and the excess financial funds, under their multi-party operations, began to lean towards the scientific research and development projects of large civilian enterprises headed by German entrepreneurs, so that the Germans still maintained the status of the wealthiest nation. status.

During my second year at the Treasury Department, I was introduced to a secret military program called 'Project Rejection'.This plan was a crazy plan that was secretly discussed by several high-level military and government officials. It was still in the planning stage and had not yet entered the formal preparation stage. Because it was too short of money, it could only use the idea of ​​national finance, so it couldn't be avoided. I.I was approached by the original lead of the program, hoping to convince me to join the program.You also know this person, who is now the dean of the Supreme Military Academy and your teacher, General Romanov. "

"What?!" Sharon was taken aback.

Nurent took a puff of smoke, exhaled a lot of smoke, and said: "And he has a special identity, he is a traitor of the Conservative Party. He was anxious to make such a desperate plan because he knew a traitor in the New World Church. The person who taught him, and got quite reliable news - the continent of Lemuria has a very terrifying ability to predict time, and the source of this ability is the space-time rift of CERN. Only by completely destroying the space-time rift of CERN can the opponent be cut off. The predictive ability of the opponent, and we can only win if we break the opponent's predictive ability, otherwise we will be suppressed step by step, and there is no possibility of winning at all. Moreover, the sudden retreat of the Lemuria continent when it was about to defeat the empire is still a mystery. It is also the root cause of many high-level military officials. They must know something before they suddenly retreat. And we can't wait any longer, we must start to act. It's just that there is no conclusive evidence for these reports, and the plan cannot be implemented on the bright side. It was carried out secretly. But His Majesty Mu Li and His Royal Highness Lan Ni knew about this matter, and they also acquiesced."

Did the royal family know about the plan?Newrent's words shocked Sharon again. She always thought that the royal family didn't know about her father's secret plan. In the end, did the royal family secretly support this plan?But if you think about it carefully, this is not contradictory, on the contrary it is more reasonable.Of course, there is another explanation, that is, in the two main world lines of ab and ab, the royal family really did not know about their father's plan, but only in this b-1P6 world line, the royal family knew about it. The butterfly effect caused by arrival.Sharon couldn't decide whether it was the former or the latter.

"Perhaps you know that apostate, but you haven't met officially. But she is a celebrity, and there have been rumors among the people that Her Royal Highness Princess Tianyang's artificial insemination was done by her own hands." Nurent said again astonishingly, Sharon stared at him with wide eyes.

"She is the chairman of the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences—Academician Wu Zhilan."

"What?!!!" Sharon exclaimed in surprise.
