Overturned Tower

When he heard that the emperor also killed many people back then, Russell was actually startled.

After all, the emperor is a hero subordinate to his uncle, Director Dodgson, and that big orange doesn't look like such a violent person...

In other words, one of the reasons why Dodgson was elected as a director at that time was precisely because he was not violent enough.

He is a very gentle and flexible person, and has a rare good reputation within the group.

At the same time, his stance is not firm enough, his views are not prominent enough, his thinking is not sharp enough, and he has no ability or desire to change the status quo... In another world, with Dodgson's characteristics, he might be able to become a prime minister.

And in this world, he also holds the supreme power - he allows the elves to trust him and let him share the supreme authority in the world.

Such a gentle sheep and the "hero" under his control is actually a hard-core?

Ale probably guessed what her godfather was thinking.

Without waiting for the godfather to ask, she gave a prompt reply: "Although Dodgson, the director behind the emperor, is known to be a good old man... but the emperor chosen by him is not like that.

"The Emperor has been known for his radical behavior from the beginning - he used his status as a hero to kill criminals in the street with brutal means; he toughly executed small company directors and local bullies who were resented by the people.

"Once, a group of gangsters broke into the TV station and forced them to broadcast their own programs. The purpose was to hold the people hostage and get the Tianen Group to release their arrested boss. They claimed that if he was not released, they would kill one of them live every once in a while. staff. At this time, the emperor broke into the TV station and killed the gangster directly. Then, the emperor directly delivered a speech to the people in the chaotic TV station and in front of the camera that "evil behavior cannot be tolerated", calling on people not to accept the kidnapper's actions. Conditions, don't compromise with them - when this happens, that's when a 'hero' is born.

"This is also one of the sources of his title of 'Emperor'. There are many new generation heroes who accepted the emperor's call and became heroes... Although our positions are opposite, I do think he is a very charming man. When he was most active, everything he did was admired by people - he was in the news almost every week, and was even more popular than the popular 'Ultramarine' today."

Ale said, licking his lips subconsciously.

After all, the people in the eternal reincarnation are all smart people, and they rarely do stupid things like kidnapping. They even try to remain silent, and at best they are like ale, never registered in any record, completely clean of identity.

"...Of course, people lamented that what the emperor said was indeed reasonable. But when it really happened to them, they would still obey the kidnapper's orders. This is why those idiots in the Veil of Ignorance don't understand anything but can always succeed. reason."

Ale's words were full of unabashed disgust.

The Veil of Ignorance doesn't understand anything at all. After buying the information and kidnapping the relatives of the wealthy businessman, he can easily obtain a large amount of resources. And they spent all their time reincarnating, forged their identities, used their own brains and knowledge, and risked being discovered as uncoded people to deceive, but in the end they got no more than what they got from the Veil of Ignorance.

In the case of similar benefits, the only difference between the two sides is that the probability of death and injury after the failure of the Veil of Ignorance mission is relatively high - but there are overwhelmingly many people in the Veil of Ignorance, and you will not be injured if you die casually. . And those on her side are all elites from all walks of life... Not only do they possess knowledge and wisdom, but they are also rare talents with a clear lack of moral bottom line. She dare not let them die.

But after the Veil of Ignorance made things worse and Shangcheng District sent bad guys down, they would still be in trouble.

"I see……"

The godfather murmured in a low voice: "Director Dodgson should have done it on purpose.

"Looks like he's not exactly a meek fool, either."

The godfather sneered: "Choose the emperor as the sword in his hand just to let him do things that are inconvenient for him. In the end, the bad reputation will be filtered out by the emperor, and the good reputation will belong to him... What a good calculation. "

——Well done, uncle.

Contrary to the coldness on his godfather's face, Russell was very happy in his heart.

Russell had always felt that Dodgson's character was too easy to suffer.

Even if he has a good temper and doesn't think it's a disadvantage...but since he is in this position, he must be responsible for any decision. He doesn't argue with others. If something goes wrong or something is done wrong, the blame is his.

Directors of the head office cannot stay on for a lifetime and will eventually retire. They have a lot of money, and their living time must be much longer than their working time... When they lose these temporary powers, the pots that were waiting for them in the past will fly over on their own.

Highlight the return of Wan Guo Zong.

With the emperor, Dodgson can do what he wants. Of course, the emperor was willing to do what he didn't expect and didn't want to do for him.

The emperor was much more ruthless than Dodgson - not only ruthless, but also ruthless.

Contrary to what Malt Liquor thought, the Emperor was not a pure "hero".

This can be clearly seen from Russell's position... From the very beginning, the emperor was cultivating political capital for himself.

Such things as "heroic deeds" cannot always be sought after by the public. Because the people are always short-sighted and self-interested, when the "altruistic" attribute of the hero matches the "self-interested" attribute of the people, people will pursue the hero and worship the hero; but if the hero knows something that the people do not know, And if they do things that people cannot understand, people will scold these heroes for being "talkative" and "meddlesome" because their own interests are shaken.

Because of this, a qualified hero can never leave only a "good name".

His heart will always call him to do something that is temporarily not understood by people. Maybe later people will realize what a right thing he did back then, and they may even repent...but that kind of thing doesn't make any sense anymore.

The harm to people's hearts has been done, so what's the use of repenting and apologizing?

And what the emperor did was really "too right".

That is not something he does according to his heart, but a "performance" that he does after considering what the people want him to do.

Just like the "talk show" performance that the emperor later performed. He is wise and knows many secrets, but talk shows are not about telling the truth or daring to tell the truth... If you want to be popular, you can only selectively tell part of the truth to stimulate the audience, and then tell the audience They use the truths that they most want to hear but cannot think of themselves to cater to their views.

And they themselves may not believe these words.

Russell knew this because he himself was also such a "acting hero."

When he learned what the name "hero" meant in Happy Island and what risks he would take, he always paid attention to his words and deeds so as not to cause conflict with public opinion.

And after the emperor developed enough reputation, he easily changed his job to become a behind-the-scenes capitalist and retired to the second line.

This is also his reward for taking the blame for Dodgson - in his position, he is a veteran idol with a civilian background, so he is not afraid of taking the blame.

If a lot of pots were thrown at Dodgson, it would make him very embarrassed...but if they were thrown at the emperor, it would only increase his heat.

Dodgson's ability to choose the emperor as his "hero" is a reflection of his political wisdom.

From this point of view, it seems that "heroes" are not just white gloves. It's not just about doing dirty work... He and the directors behind the scenes have a cooperative and symbiotic relationship.

The directors of the head office provide guarantees for the heroes and help them eliminate top-down pressure from various forces; while the heroes are responsible for saying things that directors dare not say and doing things that directors dare not do, as a kind of complementary symbiosis.

Just as the board of directors of Tianen Group is considering promoting the "Seventh Consensus" to grant heroes greater power... it is also a process of gradually freeing themselves from the shackles of the dragon.

The board of directors - or rather, the elven directors - were no longer satisfied with the power granted to them by the dragon. On the eve of the exhaustion of resources, they finally couldn't help but start to take action, seeking higher power...the power that the dragons had previously denied the elves access to.

——If we start from this point.

Then the actions of "Tiansheng" cannot be caused by his personal grudges.

His true stance determines the truth behind this increasingly confusing matter.

So Russell made up his mind——

Today, I will use my identity as Ultramarine to meet the "Send from Heaven".

The off-field assistance he could call upon without leaving a trace has basically been exhausted. Then it was up to him to take action himself.

It's time to mess around~

Chapter 2 before dinner!
