Everything is over. Now half of Ruin is in hand.
There are remaining board members, but no matter how great they are, it is obvious that it will be easier than persuading Carkill.
Because being able to appease half of them meant that they actually had the power to move up to the mainstream.
“You have amazing political calculations, so why are you not interested in politics?”
Lucas asked me if I was genuinely curious.
There was a lot to say.
There is little to be gained from focusing on politics, but it only leads to mental illness.
Above all, much of my political power is based on future knowledge.
It’s not that my political power is lacking or anything like that.
Compared to political experience, excellent performance was not due to outstanding talent, but to the experience of living in a more developed society.
Politician propaganda through radio or TV right now.
Because it was created by Goebbels of Nazi Germany.
“But your relationship with the saint isn’t that bad. If you see that, can’t you be suspicious?”
“It’s not that people are unintelligent. It’s just an illusion. And if the illusion came from your own judgment, you rationalize it.
Even if you discover something strange later, the judgments, emotions, and illusions from that time remain. You can think about it, but you can’t bring it out. Thinking based on your own judgment has the effect of stopping doubts.”
Humans just don’t know much about themselves. I have quite reasonable thoughts.
And that rational thought, when mixed with illusion, becomes a great means of rationalization.
Even though the premise was wrong, it shows a reasonable perspective assuming that the premise is correct.
Until I realized that I had mistaken the premise.
“If you think that I came to this land by order of the emperor. That alone ignores all other assumptions.
The moment you shout, “His Majesty the Emperor does not want my relationship with the saint to be strained,” they won’t say anything.”
For your information, there is no problem.
Because I only told the truth.
Defy the emperor?
Even though she is a saint, she cannot handle it.
A fight between me and the saint?
It’s just a trick and it’s separate from reality.
me?
The real emperor granted him the title of Praetorian Guard.
The emperor doesn’t want the relationship between me and the saint to deteriorate?
Is there any emperor who wants the relationship between the imperial nobility and the saint to deteriorate?
Everything is true.
It was just through the performance of the saint and me that my coming to this land and the holy temple that the saint would open would be prevented.
It was only created with the emperor’s intention.
“… You’re not doing anything illegal, that’s right. Don’t you remember that the judge just chewed it up and punished you for doing that?”
“What’s a little different about this is that there are no victims in this one, right? So, in fact, if this matter goes well, there will be no reprimand from anyone.”
If it doesn’t work out anyway, it’s okay to be emotional and say you did it just to survive.
If it goes well, it is possible to blame everything on the emperor, saying that the success was possible thanks to the emperor’s glory.
What I’m trying to gain here isn’t honor, it’s just blood and dragon body.
That much was worth enduring.
“It seems like things have calmed down a bit? Aren’t you going?”
Lily later went in and took on the role of reporting the situation.
Because we were the only ones from Yeonguk, we thought they would feel comfortable.
As if that judgment was correct, it wasn’t long before I heard that the situation had calmed down.
I went right in.
“Nice to meet you all. ah. Because we said hello earlier. I’ll move on. No complaints, right?”
“No.”
“Could it possibly exist?”
“I like whatever it is.”
When I went inside, the appearance showed an angular appearance like a military.
I didn’t know because the internal landscape of each company was not described.
I had a rough idea of what the atmosphere would be like.
In the case of Ruin, it seems that the environment was similar to the military.
“Then, shall we share a sound story? I feel like we have never shared our purpose before.”
“It is possible.”
“It goes without saying.”
“Ruin is not an incompetent company that can barely fulfill such a request from the lifesaver!”
I wasn’t asking about incompetence.
Of course, there was no need to risk it and fall, so I skipped over it.
“Then I will tell you briefly. Why do you think I came here?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I guess he came to benefit the empire. Ruin is confident enough to take on such a thing.
In trade, even if one side suffers a loss, both sides ultimately benefit when the scale increases. Because you can sell what you get in that way somewhere else.”
“Or you can hand over Ruin’s technological prowess to the Empire! We can do that if you just let us become citizens of the empire!”
A diet of the fittest. You may think it is the most terrible and difficult system to live in.
There is nothing like this to make a great appointment without any special conditions or third parties.
Because those who remain in their positions become the best.
I quickly think about what my purpose is.
And he immediately reveals a good way to achieve that goal.
In the meantime, they do not forget to look after their own interests.
By saying that even if you incur a loss, you can sell it somewhere else, it appeals that it is an overall benefit.
Yeon-guk’s personnel selection is certainly not bad.
To be exact, it’s like survival of the fittest, with all the bad guys left behind.
“Unfortunately, it’s a little different from that.”
However, if the premise is wrong, no matter how reasonable your opinion is.
Like everything went wrong.
They got the premise wrong from the start.
This is also an example that shows what kind of ending you can get if you start wrong, no matter how talented you are.
“The reason I came here is simple. The greatest alchemist of all time and the savior and culprit of this land. Alchemist of Creation. Creation. Mikhail. I came here to meet him.”
Everyone was slightly taken aback by those words.
After thinking about it a bit, I thought it might be possible, so I agreed.
Unlike other board members, he has the power to directly restrain the saint.
I thought I was fully qualified to meet Changje.
“Meeting with Changje… May I ask what you will do?”
“No different. If we knew that, we thought we could help you more… ”
People who carefully ask me questions so as not to make me uncomfortable.
There was no reason to object to them, so I told them right away.
“Changje is the best alchemist. At least there is no change in the fact that if the empire gets him, it will become even richer.
But he is just an individual. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot overcome the power that comes from a group.”
“Well, that’s… ”
“I think so.”
The directors of Ruin also take creation very seriously. I tried to give a little rebuttal, but another director stopped me.
But it wasn’t particularly wrong.
He can never win over a group.
Because Yeon-guk is telling me that.
“There are some people who don’t believe it, so I’ll tell you. Do you know roughly what the population of the empire is?”
“I don’t know.”
“What about the Mado Republic?”
“That’s fine too… ”
They closed their eyes tightly, probably thinking they had made a mistake.
I was expecting something like this, but I think it was a bit excessive.
I’m not the type to crave.
I asked an easy question to boost my self-esteem.
“Then what about Yeon-guk? You understand this, right?”
“Approx. There are about 20 million people.”
20 million people.
Considering that Joseon had that kind of population in the early 1900s.
It’s not that small.
But even though this world is modern.
When it comes to medical care, it at least surpasses modern times.
This is because the problem is resolved when the priest pours in divine power.
So the population of the Empire and the Federation has already exceeded my common sense.
It was really amazing.
“That’s right. There are about 20 million people. And I will also tell you the answers to the two questions I mentioned earlier.”
“Thank you. Then the population of the Empire and the Republic… ?”
In order to speak, you need to concentrate.
After a bit of silence, I brought everyone’s attention to my face.
They said something unbelievable.
“Empire. 2.5 billion. Republic 800 million.”
Everyone was shocked at those words.
The reaction was more dramatic than when I said I would publish my original work.
“Well, is it that much? ?”
“Uh, how… ?”
“Such nonsense… !”
Although everyone thinks it makes no sense.
There was enough evidence to convince them.
“The Empire and the Republic are the regions where the power of the Holy Emperor is strongest. So there are the most priests. Without treatment, humans can become infected and die from a scratch. Holy power can eliminate that power.
And although it cannot be compared to the level of the country, food production also increased with the development of alchemy. There were no deaths and there was plenty to eat, so the population grew exponentially.”
“But… ”
“Think about it a little twistedly. Can Caquill truly support a population of 2.5 billion? Even if we could feed this land’s population of 20 million, would we be able to feed a population 125 times larger?
What about Ruin? What about Atomic? Can you meet their needs?”
Can Kaquil really support a population of 2.5 billion?
does not exist.
Efficiency is high even though Kakill is high.
This is because the size of the empire is high.
Even if the invention is overwhelmingly efficient.
It is also possible for the empire to produce more and faster than the Changje if they just push through.
If one person could produce 1000 times more power, that would be the best.
On the contrary, you will be pushed out by 1001 people, so as an individual, there are limits.
“The high point of creation is high. But it doesn’t mean the Empire can’t deal with it. But alchemy is different. So the empire wants to take control of the companies.”
The ambiguous word “empire.”
Through this, he was deceived by the emperor’s words.
This simply refers to imperial nobles.
Because they too are part of the empire.
‘Of course, the emperor won’t particularly refuse.’
In the first place, people like Ah would immediately abandon Yeon-guk.
“But there is a huge barrier to doing so. Because it is impossible to use the saint’s stigmata on each person.
And do you know why we need to wear the saint’s stigmata?”
“Homunculus… ”
The common enemy of all corporations. Homunculus.
In fact, I didn’t know who was behind it, so I left it alone for a while.
If they could find it, all companies would forget about their bad history and try to eradicate the homunculus.
The reason it didn’t work out so far was because there was no hope.
“Changje is the greatest alchemist in the land. He will definitely be able to uncover the secret of the homunculus. I also brought a saint just in case. We have it too.”
Everyone starts to get angry at those words.
The Empire chose us.
Although it is unfounded, it must have sounded that way to them.
‘Good.’
Now they will depend on me.
Seonghwangcheong tried to wipe everything out himself.
I blocked it.
In addition, it provided a foundation for the company to grow,
They would have said that they, the homunculi, would solve dangerous problems.
Although it was a reputation built upon illusion, I became a savior to them.
“Fish that live in the sea are larger than those that live in the river. Why don’t we move to a bigger place one more time?”
For them, this is something that scratches their itch.
A company that wants to grow but can never grow bigger.
Although it is a powerful company, it is merely a subsidiary of Yeonguk.
An opportunity has arisen for such a company to soar.
It should fly on its own, but it wouldn’t be a company if it refused to do so.
“I will follow!!!”
“We will try to persuade the remaining directors as well!!!”
“Loyalty!!!!”
Kakill.
Red print.
Half of Ruin was captured.
Now all that’s left is the other half of Ruin.
Just atomic generation.
