Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 56: symbiotic relationship

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

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

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

He is a rather gentle and flexible person with a rare good reputation in the group.

At the same time, his stance is not firm enough, his views are not outstanding 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 qualities, he might be able to become a prime minister.

And in this world, he also held the supreme power—he made the elves trust him and let him share the supreme authority in this world.

Such a gentle sheep, but the "hero" under his hands is actually a hardcore?

Malt Wine probably guessed what her godfather was thinking.

Without waiting for the godfather to ask, she replied in a timely manner: "Although the director behind the emperor, Dodgson, is known as a good old man...but the emperor he chose is not like that.

"The emperor has been known for his aggressive actions since the very beginning—he used his heroic status to kill criminals in the street with brutal methods; he toughly executed small company directors and local bullies whom the people resented.

"Once, a group of gangsters broke into the TV station and forced them to broadcast their own program. The purpose was to hold the people hostage and let the Tianen Group release their arrested boss. The staff. At this time, the emperor broke into the TV station and shot the criminal directly. Afterwards, the emperor directly issued a speech on the chaotic TV station and in front of the camera to the people, calling on people not to accept the kidnapper's behavior. Conditions, don't compromise with them - when this happens, it's the day of the 'hero'.

"This is also one of the sources of his title of 'emperor'. There are not a few new generation heroes who accepted the emperor's call and became heroes... Although our positions are opposite, I do think that he is a very attractive man. In When he was at his most active, everything he did was admired by people—it was on the news almost every week, which was even more popular than the popular 'Ultramarine'."

As Malt Wine spoke, he subconsciously licked his lips.

After all, all the people in Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation are smart people, and they rarely do stupid things like kidnapping. They're even trying to keep silent, and at their best they're like ale, never registered on any record, completely clean.

"...Of course, people lamented that what the emperor said was true. But when it happened to them, they would still obey the kidnappers' orders. This is why those idiots in the veil of ignorance don't understand anything but can always succeed. .”

Malt Wine's words were full of undisguised disgust.

The veil of ignorance doesn't understand anything at all, just buy the information and kidnap the relatives of the rich businessman, and you can easily get a lot of resources. And they spend forever reincarnating, working hard, forging their identities, using their own minds and knowledge, and taking the risk of being discovered as uncoded people to defraud, and in the end they get no more than the veil of ignorance.

In the case of similar benefits, the only difference between the two sides is that the probability of death or injury after the mission of the veil of ignorance is relatively high-but the people in the veil of ignorance are overwhelmingly large, and casual death will not hurt the bones. And the people on her side are all elites from all walks of life... While possessing knowledge and wisdom, they are also rare talents with a clear lack of moral bottom line, so I dare not let them die.

But after the veil of ignorance made matters worse, and the upper city sent inferior people down, they would still be unlucky.

"I see…"

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

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

The godfather sneered and said, "I chose the emperor as the knife in my hand to let him do things that are inconvenient for me. In the end, the bad reputation will be filtered out by the emperor, and the good reputation will belong to him... What a good plan."

— Well done, uncle.

Contrary to the coldness on the godfather's face, Russell was very relieved.

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

Even if he has a good temper, he doesn't think it's a disadvantage... But since he is in this position, he has to be responsible for any decision. He doesn't argue with others, and if things go wrong or he makes a mistake, the blame is his.

Directors of the head office cannot stay in office for a lifetime, they always have to retire. They have plenty of money, and their living time is bound to be much longer than their working hours... When they lose these temporary powers, the pots that were waiting for them in the past will fly over by themselves.

Highlight a ten thousand pots returning to the clan.

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

The emperor was much more ruthless than Dodgeson—not only ruthless, but also ruthless.

Contrary to what malt liquor thought, the emperor was not a pure "hero".

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

Such things as "heroic acts of righteousness" cannot always be sought after by the public. Because the public is always short-sighted and self-interested, when the "altruistic" attribute of the hero coincides with the "self-interested" attribute of the public, people will pursue and worship the hero; but if the hero knows something that the public does not know, But to do things that people can't understand, people will reprimand these heroes for being "talkative" and "messy" 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 the right thing he did back then, and maybe confess to him... But that kind of thing doesn't make any sense anymore.

What's the use of repenting and apologizing when the harm to people's hearts has already been done?

And what the emperor did was "too correct".

That is not something he does according to his own heart, but a "performance" after considering what the public wants him to do.

It was the same as the "talk show" performed by the emperor later. He has wisdom and knows a lot of secrets, but talk shows are not about telling the truth, and it’s over if you dare to tell the truth... If you want to be popular, you can only selectively tell a part of the truth to stimulate the audience, and then tell the audience The truths that I want to hear the most, but I can't think of, cater to their views.

And these words, they themselves may not believe it.

Russell knows this because he himself is such a "shown hero."

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

And after the emperor cultivated enough prestige, he changed jobs very smoothly and became a capitalist behind the scenes, retiring to the second line.

This is also his reward for blocking the pot for Dodgson - in his position, he is a commoner and a veteran idol, and he is not afraid to take the pot.

If a lot of blame is thrown on Dodgson, it will make him very embarrassed...and if it is thrown on the emperor, it will only increase his heat.

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

From this point of view, it seems that "heroes" are not as simple as white gloves. It's not just for doing dirty work... He and the director behind the scenes belong to a cooperative and symbiotic relationship.

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

Just as the Tianen Group's board of directors is considering promoting the "Seventh Consensus" to grant heroes more power... that is also the process of gradually freeing themselves from the shackles of the dragon.

The board of directors—or rather, the elf directors—had no longer satisfied the powers the dragon had bestowed upon them. On the eve of the depletion of resources, I finally couldn't help but start to take action, seeking higher power...the power that the dragons had previously prevented the elves from touching.

—If you start from this point.

Then what "Tiansong" did could not be caused by his personal grievances.

His true position ~www.wuxiahere.com~ determines the truth behind this increasingly confused matter.

So Russell made up his mind—

Today, I will use the identity of Ultramarine to meet that "Heavenly Sent".

The off-court assistance he can call without a trace has basically been exhausted. Then it was up to him to do it himself.

-----Off Topic-----

Just mess with it~

There's a second chapter before dinner!
