Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

The business executives of the Wotan Alliance have long heard about the various practices of the empire.

Giving so much money to those guys for nothing is simply a crime.

Even debt transfers are better than this.

“Do you really want to write off all the debt?” tremblingly, one executive said. “It’s easy to mess up that way.”

"Report to the empire again, those people have no debts, but it will turn the world upside down."

“How can you restrain them without debt!!”

"That's right, my lord, you have to be careful. Those people are afraid of power but not morality. There is no need to reduce their debts."

"This matter is beyond your control." Wesker glanced at the executives standing in front of him and said word by word: "Don't try to do things secretly, if you do well, you can live. If you don't do well, you will all be punished." Execute it, and the order of this world will be rewashed."

Due to manpower, the reform of the empire is often relatively crude, and it is left to those locals who are willing to surrender to solve it.

These people did not have the courage to resist the empire, but their courage to make money through the reform of the empire was astonishing.

Borrowing money desperately on the eve of the reform, emptied the local financial funds, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the arrival of the empire to write off all the loans.

Received all the assets of those original enterprises under his own name.

Human nature is always complicated.

Exemption of loans between major companies and civilians is firstly to win people's hearts, and secondly to enable local people to get rid of such a depressive life.

However, in practice, it has completely changed.

As long as he has some rights in his hands, he will try his best to put those assets under his own name as much as possible, thinking about becoming a rich man after the empire comes.

Wesker has seen too many people like that.

As long as there is a little carelessness, those who are devoured by desire will kill each other for money.

The threat is just a warning to these people, and the empire will conduct a review later.

Anyone who dares to cheat will pay for their stupidity.

"We are all dedicated to our duties." A female supervisor said: "We will never let down the Holy Emperor and the Empire."

The female supervisor spoke sincerely.

Wesker had a mocking look on his face.

He didn't believe a word of it.

Not long ago, they also declared that they would fight the empire to the end.

Defend the alliance, defend their homeland.

Do whatever it takes to fight these fearsome imperial invaders to the last minute.

But now, their Skyhawk Ritual is more formal than Wesker's.

If he didn't know their details, Wesker would have wondered if the empire had sent them here to undercover.

This is reality, this is human nature.

"Sirs, you must be very tired. Why don't I take you to rest first. Tonight is a welcome banquet. Tomorrow we will discuss in detail how to promote the imperial decree. This way please."

Under the leadership of those executives, Wesker entered the group of buildings that he admired in the past.

In the Wotan Union, corporations and non-corporations are two very different worlds.

Neither the dwarves nor the humans who live in it are as sharply divided as between corporate and non-corporate.

The top executives of the Wotan Alliance divided part of their own interests.

Those who receive these benefits, seeing their own lives compared with those of non-corporate groups, subconsciously embrace corporate and corporate domination.

They think they are superior to others, and they are not at the same level as those hard-earned non-company bottoms.

For the sake of high-level considerations, they support this Wotan alliance with all their heart, in order to get more benefits.

The buildings where the company's employees and executives live cover a vast area and are clean and full of sense of technology.

The most central building presents a dome structure, made of silver-white metal and reinforced glass.

Obviously it is a branch of a company set up here.

It is different from the harsh environment in which ordinary people live.

The buildings where the company's executives and employees live and work are beautiful.

There is a lot of space between each other.

On the ground, there is no concept of setting up streets, and flower beds, grasslands and forests are built.

Take a deep breath, the air is fresh.

It makes people feel like they are in the grassland.

The employees of those companies wore neat clothes and walked through them like ants.

Everywhere is full of humanized comfort and coziness.

Wesker remembered that he used to face the loess and his back to the sky, driving a broken harvester and working in the 40-degree heat.

It is a happy thing to drink cold ale after work.

But after working for a day, being able to get 20% of the successful results of your work is considered lucky.

Basically, it is the interest repayment of the loan every day.

It's miserable.

Look at people here, the work is comfortable, the environment is beautiful, and the life is enjoyed comfortably.

The life gap between people is bigger than the life gap between people and dogs.

When the staff watched Wesker and the others walk by, their eyes showed fear.

Everyone knows what the arrival of the empire means.

Their good days are coming to an end.

The Empire forgave its debts.

Businesses were also wiped out.

What can they rely on to maintain and continue such a peaceful life.

Wesker observed it, and it was obvious that these people did not welcome the arrival of the empire.

He even saw a few students with angry faces and clenched fists, full of hatred.

When he looked at the people in the empire, he wished he could eat them with his teeth and claws.

They did not speak, but expressed their thoughts with their eyes.

A bunch of traitors, shameful traitors.

These beasts who surrendered to the empire should all be sent to the gallows.

Wesker frowned slightly, feeling that the reform this time would not be so easy.

There must be strong resistance.

He finally understood why those students hated them so much! !

In their eyes, the Wotan Alliance is their home.

This home allows them to live comfortably, to be superior to others, and to enjoy the privileges brought by their status.

They will grow up, inherit the property and jobs of their parents, and continue to enjoy the beauty here.

The arrival of the Empire ruined it all.

In this way, their anger can be explained.

Preventing people from getting rich is like killing one's parents.

This old saying is true in any era.

Wesker, who felt the maliciousness of those people, swore secretly.

In any case, it will ensure the normal reform of the planet Wei Luo, and will never develop to the extent that the empire is involved

Wesker, who returned to the planet Wei Luo, led more than ten thousand people.

Just the size of a group.

There were more than a dozen officers including him.

Two-thirds were born on the planet Velo.

The rest are also formerly conscripted soldiers from nearby galaxies.

Like Wesker, they all came from the bottom.

This is the so-called non-corporate group.

After the border surrendered to the empire, Kodd, who led the soldiers to revolt, had become a general, responsible for commanding the many soldiers who rebelled at that time.

In order to solve the problem of the loyalty of the Union army to the Empire.

The Empire generally cleans up or downgrades those officers.

From the original ranks of low-level soldiers, some smart and capable soldiers were drawn to supplement them.

Wesker and others were also promoted.

This return to Planet Velo was initiated by Wesker.

The Empire rarely drops commanders.

Because the customs and habits of each planet are different.

In addition, it does not legally support the imperial military's command of the airborne regiment-level commander of an army composed of citizens of a certain planet.

Only the military power of a planet can be attributed to that general, and he will dominate and govern it.

According to the imperial dictatorship and democracy, the main body of the empire is a human dictatorship formed by joining Terra as a unit.

The planet has a certain right to self-government after abiding by the rules set by the Imperial Constitution, the State Church, and the Inquisition.

The governor who governs the entire planet is elected by the people of that planet themselves.

It represents the interests of that planet.

That governor then swears allegiance to the Empire on behalf of all citizens.

The Interstellar Chamber of Commerce under the control of the empire incorporates it into the empire's economic system according to the local minerals, assets and population, ensuring that it can enjoy power and pay its own obligations, forming a mutual win of 1+1\u003e2.

The planet needs to pay taxes to the empire, provide soldiers, maintain the state religion, and be 100% loyal to the holy emperor.

After paying these, they can obtain the protection of the imperial army, receive technical support from the Mechanicus and the imperial scientific research institutions, increase productivity, occupy a position in interstellar trade, and improve their living standards through the interstellar economy.

Most of the work of the Terran Council is to ensure that this system is not damaged by the selfishness and greed of human nature, and to effectively maintain the dignity of every citizen of the Empire.

The Interstellar Chamber of Commerce uses gentle and indirect means to use commercial trade to plunder wealth and use it for redistribution to support the various expenses of the empire, so that the various planets of the empire can be maintained at a similar level, and there will be no too large wealth gap.

Simply put, the current wealth gap in the empire is.

The rich can hire someone to wash their suspension car, and the poor have to wash their suspension car by themselves.

Everyone has a big ox.

At most, your cows are fatter and mine are thinner.

There will never be a situation where the rich have a group of big buffaloes and the poor have a small snail.

However, the situation of the Wotan Alliance is very complicated.

Even more exaggerated than the original empire.

The Empire was in the midst of various crises caused by Chaos and the Xenomorphs.

The wealth gap is huge, but not as serious as the Wotan Alliance.

The wealth of the Wotan Alliance has been excessively concentrated in the hands of the 0.0000001% of people.

Let alone snails, the poor still owe them two big buffaloes.

Such a situation also caused the problems of the Wotan Alliance to be complicated.

The reformation of many planets has not been smooth.

Some people secretly divide interests and intrigue.

When they cannot satisfy their own desires, they will encourage ignorant people to rebel.

Eventually the entire planet was suppressed militarily.

Such news emerges endlessly.

Many in the Wotan Alliance stubbornly believe that the Empire is an invader, coming to take their homeland and ruin their lives.

In the absence of complete information channels to understand the situation, it is easy to be fooled by those in power who control public opinion and have evil intentions.

Using all kinds of stigma and poor information to encourage ignorant people to rebel against the Empire, which eventually led to mass bloodshed.

After several suppression incidents, Wesker found that many people's performance can be said to be ignorant and stupid.

They seem to be smart, but they don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and verify facts.

Stubbornly believe that right is right and wrong is wrong.

Such people are encouraged by those who have a heart in a few words, and put themselves on the edge of a dangerous abyss.

Unaware that he is just someone else's gun, driven by others.

When the other party gets what they want, they will let go directly, leaving them there helpless and becoming the recipients of the empire's wrath.

This kind of thing is always repeated and repeated.

Those people will also be used again and again until they are worthless and completely abandoned.

Wesker didn't want that to happen in his hometown.

That's why he came back.

Imperial repression is no joke.

Once the regular troops of the Empire are dispatched, those who dare to join the ranks of resisting the Empire.

Whatever the reason, they were executed or sent to a punishment camp.

Some will even be transformed into atonement machine slaves, and they will spend their entire lives to atone for their sins.

Imagine a system that is extremely beneficial to you, but because you don't understand it, you don't know it, and you are teased with a few words, so you are irrational and go crazy to fight against the empire.

In the end, it was strongly suppressed by the empire and transformed into a redemption machine slave.

But the person who encouraged you pretended to be innocent, retreated behind the scenes with benefits, and lived a good life.

No matter how shrewd and capable the officials of the empire are, there is no way to screen hundreds of planets and tens of billions of traitors and find out the innocent among them.

Even with the assistance of the brain, it is difficult to ensure that there are no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases.

Wesker would never allow such a thing to happen in his hometown.

That's why he came back.

It is necessary to ensure the smooth reform of the planet Wei Luo, integrate into the empire, and avoid going to the step of bloody riots and strong suppression by the empire.

He is not very interested in the bustling banquet.

The banquet was very lively.

Many slender guards shuttled among them, serving delicious food and wine one after another.

Each time a new dish is served, a uniformed butler will loudly announce the name of that dish.

How to evaluate! !

Wesker thinks this should be the so-called sense of aristocratic ritual! !

Any dish here is worth a farmer's income for a year.

Wesker did not have any joy and excitement.

He is not suitable for such an occasion.

Those executives and guests who came and went showed respect to Wesker and others, even though they didn't understand the etiquette of dining at all.

However, Wesker knows that behind these scantily clad, sexy female guests and those exquisite, delicious dishes are hidden the soft knives of those executives.

They hope to get more benefits from the reform.

Whether it is the parliament of the Wotan Alliance or accepting the rule of the Holy Emperor, they don't care much.

They care more about whether their own interests will be damaged.

And how to take advantage of this situation to gain greater voice and interests.

After attending the banquet for a while, he politely declined the other party's invitation to stay.

He went straight back to his hometown.

In order to avoid fear, he did not take the military gunboat, but borrowed a hoverbike to go back.

The flying height of the suspended motorcycle can reach fifteen meters.

This height is enough to avoid most obstacles.

Most of the planet Velo is plains and deserts, and hoverbikes can reach many areas without barriers.

The maximum speed of the suspension motorcycle can reach 1000km/h.

Wesker drove his motorcycle back to his hometown town.

Velo, a colonial planet, is mostly agricultural.

Along the way, you can see stretches of cultivated land.

The grape trellises fixed by white brackets cover the undulating mountains, lush and verdant, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Automatic sprinkler systems stand at intervals to ensure that the grape crops are covered.

Wheat is generally planted on plains, which is convenient for mechanical operations.

At intervals, there are specialized hydroponic vegetable bases.

Flying all the way, it is basically either farmland or various economic crops, fruit trees.

Planet Weiluo is highly developed, and traces of development can be seen everywhere.

Except for those wastelands that cannot be developed or are too expensive, they have basically been developed.

Farmers take care of their crops to make sure they produce a bountiful harvest that brings them wealth.

Wesker was excited by this familiar scene.

He came home.

Here he was born.

His soul and Velo are linked.

Going home is not a very time-consuming thing.

Two hours later, the dilapidated town signboard appeared before his eyes.

The town was as desolate as ever.

Looks like there's little life left.

After the debt is paid off, people don't have much money to spend.

For this reason, the town's economy has not improved much.

Although people are very hardworking, it is a pity that this is not an era where hard work can get rich.

The Wotan Alliance took all the wealth by "reasonable and legal" means.

Wesker's return was still warmly welcomed.

The townspeople didn't speak ill of Wesker for surrendering to the Empire.

Wesker was a part of their town, and his virtues were evident.

Courageous and honest.

Dare to fight for a better life.

They love Wesker as a real person more than the concept of the alliance.

Wesker and his welcome go to the only bar in town.

News of his return quickly spread.

People come from all over the place.

The bar was packed to the brim in no time.

"The empire promised that our debts will end here, and we will be debt-free from now on." Wesker said to his neighbors and friends: "At the same time, we can elect a governor who represents the interests of the planet Velo, so that Come and serve the Empire."

The people cheered when they heard the debt was forgiven.

But when they heard the back, people showed blank expressions.

"Is the governor useful?" said a wrinkled old man. "We have elected many officials, but in the end they are just puppets of those business owners."

"That kind of game is meaningless. They choose a few people for us to choose." A young man said angrily, "That's just a waste of time."

"It's up to us to decide who to choose as the governor. Everyone can run for election, as long as you think you can fight for more interests for Planet Velo, and talk and fight on behalf of our interests." Wesker said.

"You're too young, Wesker, this is just a game." Someone in the crowd said.

"At least we can have a sense of participation." Wesker joked: "In any case, debt forgiveness is inevitable."

After a pause, Wesker continued: "The choice of the governor, we need to be cautious, and we need someone who can actually speak on our behalf. Every planet has a little autonomy to adapt to our cultural life and society. The governor also The person who docks with the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce and confirms our position in the imperial economic system."

"Taking a step back, the governor is also the one who rules us according to the laws of the empire. If we don't want to hand over our fate to people who don't think about ourselves, then we have to act and choose the people we need to cooperate with the reform of the empire. .”

Wesker went to great lengths to explain the reforms of the Empire.

Make sure his hometown isn't stupid enough to be instigated.

Of course, he will also go to other places for this work.

But before that, he had to get the support of his hometown.

Agriculture is well developed on Velo Planet, and each gathering place is basically the size of a small town, with only a handful of metropolises.

"We can all get a better life." Wesker promised his hometown people: "We will no longer be reduced to animals without dignity, but before that, we have to learn how to defend our rights. Don't go to It doesn't matter whether the institution that rules us is the Empire or the Wotan League, what we have to defend is our power, the power of being human. Whoever makes us live like a human being, then we support whoever."

"Do you want your future to be determined when you are born? Do you want your children to be burdened with debts that need to be repaid throughout their lives? Everyone should decide their own future by themselves. The meaning of life lies here. One day, We will all return to death. Both pain and happiness will be the only things we will get."

"The moment you're dying, you look back on your life and never had a day of happiness. Born to live to pay off a debt, to give your life to a nihilistic concept, does that really make sense!! "

Wesker raised his hand and yelled.

"We have to live for ourselves, whether we will be sad or miserable tomorrow, it is up to us to choose."

The most high-end Como Academy on Planet Velo.

This school was established by the first generation of colonists who colonized the planet Velo.

So far, it has been passed down for thousands of years.

Those who can enter this school are basically elites, dragons and phoenixes among them.

In addition to their own conditions, a recommendation letter written by a senior executive is also required.

Those who do not meet the conditions are basically not allowed to enter here.

If you can come here, your life will be very different.

More than 80% of the executives of Planet Weiluo are from this institution, so one can imagine how much energy there is here.

"This is betrayal." At the port, the student who was angry at Wesker and others stood in front of a group of college students from Como Academy and said sadly: "This is a betrayal of a civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years. The damned invaders are trampling on our fine civilization and fooling our fellow citizens. The Wotan Alliance is in jeopardy, it is on the brink of destruction."

"We all have to wake up, stand up, and make sacrifices to defend it. Stop that damned empire from continuing to hurt us, send those traitors to the gallows, and let them know that it is wrong to betray the alliance and their homeland. What will happen!!"

"Then shall we fight with weapons?" one person said.

"Yes, we have to fight, and the happiness that was taken away by violence can only be regained by violence. Some of us will die, but the sacrifice is worth it, because we are fighting for Velo, to defend our Fight for civilization, fight for our dignity," said the student.

"When do we do it?" one asked.

"At the celebration in a few days, we will do it." The student said: "We will make those damned traitors pay the price, let them understand that all citizens of Planet Velo will never submit to the dictatorship of the evil empire. "

PS: Once again, this book does not insinuate anything, and all opinions are from the standpoint of the respective characters. The vested interests of the Wotan Alliance and the group of people who gave up the Wotan Alliance and chose the Empire have different ideas and interests.

The Empire also has a faction that opposes Guilliman's current system and wants to use resources for people's livelihood.

I just don't focus on writing, just take it in one stroke.

This is a farming text, and the struggle of people with different interests is also the mainstream of this book.

The various measures promoted by the empire against the righteousness of the gods and the resistance of the vested interests of the conquered forces are also one of the cool points of this book.
