Chapter 62: The Banners and Beliefs of the Fathers (1)
No matter what Lin Hai thought about the content of the Count and him alone, he might blame him for hiding the Bath Medal, he might explore the details of the Queen's meeting with him, or he might ask about the content of the Knights, and there might be a lot of casual narratives, but Lin Hai never thought that it would be like this - "Nie Feng cannot be defeated"
He is the one who competes with Nie Feng in the same game. If Nie Feng cannot be defeated, wouldn’t he have to lose himself?
He was in the final trial of the Knights, and this mission military exercise was a sign of whether he could actually enter the service. If he was eliminated, Lin Hai would not doubt that he would actually leave the Knights. Not to mention that he was a Queen's Secret Sect, through the oath banquet, Lin Hai had already gained a new understanding of this woman who held the constitutional rights of the entire imperial monarchy.
What she is concerned about is no longer his level. The honor and disgrace of a person or a group of people is not important to her. It is what will happen if she is placed at the height of the empire.
Lin Hai was sent to the Knights by her, which actually carries the role of the Bath Order. The Queen wants to make a roundabout tone for the Ganasson incident through this incident.
She is not convenient for her to express her attitude directly or let the Imperial Investigation Department publicly announce it, which is equivalent to setting up a question at the forefront of public opinion, which will bring about unpredictable public anger and doubts about the current system.
It even triggered a chain reaction, and the crisis of the planetary councils in various planetary areas, large and small areas of the empire, triggering an imbalance in the management of the empire, which is the most unstoppable internal friction during this war.
It can be said that Lin Hai played his role.
The Queen would never be expelled from the Knights because he failed the trial. She intervened and forced him to join the Knights. She could only blame him for not even having the ability to stay. And she would not be disappointed with His Highness Nolan, the daughter of the Duke who was extremely favored by him.
Furthermore, the Knights hoped to be with his quick rebel team Gu Xiaobei, Zhang Chengsi, Wang San and other instructors and sergeants, Shaohao, Radil, and others who took him as a benchmark... Lin Hai only needs to think about the consequences of the failure of the trial, which was a disaster.
Lin Hai, who is their hope and sustenance, cannot disappoint these people.
Because there are so many things that disappoint him in this world, he understands very well how uncomfortable it feels. And he feels more deeply during the oath banquet recently.
So Lin Hai stared at his father, Earl Lin Wei.
His eyes are hard and solemn.
Lin Wei sighed and said, "Lin Hai, I never mentioned your mother to you?"
Lin Hai's back tightened his entire scalp.
From the moment he went to the Riverside Star, he hoped that the man in front of him would be called a man who was extremely strange to his father, and talked about his mother's past...
Because his mother was a gate in his heart, closing all the most impulsive emotions in his heart and fearing to open them, he would never touch them himself. But he hoped that the man in front of him could speak and give a convincing explanation.
Now, it seems that it has finally come.
"The manor of Riverside Star has photos of the great development period, you should see it. In fact, the development of Riverside Star, which is the event in the past century, starts with your grandfather Lin Lei, landing Riverside Star as the pioneer..."
Lin Wei's voice seemed to penetrate history and rise in a deep state in such a study.
Lin Hai also remembered the black and white photos displayed in the exhibition room of the Riverside Star Manor Gate. It was not because of photography technology, but a modern retro trend. All photos related to the deceased were processed into black and white, reminding people that "the dead are gone, and the coming can be pursued."
In this world, all the photos related to those who died are in black and white.
Lin Hai could see that it was a young and lively face, a firm face. Lin Wei and Lin Hai both had a somewhat similar aura in their eyebrows, which was the purity, tenacity, and the tension of vigorous thoughts.
In the photo, some of Lin Lei stood on the barren land holding a mountain-opening robot arm. Some were standing next to the construction machinery, wearing old-fashioned uniforms, with dirty faces but clear smiles. Some were in the starry sky, he stood alone and looked into the distance. It was a crisis that the family had endured and he handled it calmly. There were many such photos.
And he inspired a generation, inspiring the Riverside Star, and even why Lin Wei was willing to devote her youth and body to the entire family as a girl in other surnames, because it was not only the kindness of raising her, but also the role of Lin Lei as an example for her, and even she hoped to achieve Lin Lei's dream.
"That was an extremely difficult past. I remember when I was young, your grandfather and I had a difficult and stormy childhood... I almost never experienced the childhood that normal people could have. Even when I was young, I had to help with my life as a male student... I once doubted whether your grandfather was really an earl noble? Because the nobles who built the river rings and starry circles with their families and servants, their lives were completely different from us, and we were more like civilians and farmers. Even some of the children of the baron viscount looked down on me at all."
"At that time, I gradually understood the whole story, and knew that your grandfather, we were from the most noble Round Table family in the empire. I originally had the life and situation that ordinary nobles envied, and had the status of easily making the creatures of a planet bow their heads... However, because my grandfather was separated from the thoughts of the lily family, my family situation was very different, and even your grandmother died of overwork. At that time, I had resentment towards your grandfather... and I also deeply knew that a person was influenced by dangerous thoughts, which would bring such a big gap to himself, and even countless descendants. Since then, I have attached great importance to the power of thinking and thinking. When I was young and energetic, I also traveled everywhere... until I came to this planet, the capital of the empire."
Lin Hai looked at Lin Wei in surprise. This was the first time he had heard his past. Lin Hai could imagine his father's past.
"I traveled everywhere, went to many places, and even became arrogant and learned a lot of life principles. When I came to the Capital Star, I did two things. One was to join an organization, the "Teutonic School" that originally existed to promote the idea of mutual assistance. The other was to fall in love."
"These two things have profoundly affected my life since then."
"Teutonic?" Lin Hai heard the name for the first time, and then said, "Falling in love... do you mean...my mother?"
Lin Wei continued, "I deeply hated your grandfather's adventurous idea of leaving the big family and causing endless troubles and risks to myself and his family. He hated the remarks of "I would rather die if I don't have freedom", because in my opinion, this is simply unrealistic and contradictory, because death is the greatest unfreedom. How can people who truly advocate freedom and love life be willing to die? ... This is nothing more than the call from a contradictory hypocritical person."
"It happened that at that time, the theory of solidarity claimed by the Teutonics was the right path I thought was a more correct path than the great pioneering of individual heroism, and it was also the path your grandfather should take the most. The core was to build a framework to form an ecosystem of complementary resources, each obtaining needs, overcome difficulties, or survive better, and obtain real freedom and equality in it. Based on the improvement of experience, I no longer think that your grandfather's actions of getting rid of the lily nobles were unwise, but at least he focused on the way of fighting alone like a single maverick... I can develop and strengthen the family through the Teutonics."
"So, you have been a member of the Teutonic faction since then, until now?" Lin Hai stared at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei nodded, "Otherwise, how could the lower court brother Jinxing and Xu Yang and others fully support us in dealing with Luo Minglong and Zhang Juxiong's politician? If it were just a check and balance, why would he pay such a big price... Luo Minglong's Pan Taxing was investigated and purged by us, but the three capable subordinates of Brother Jinxing's subordinates were also arrested in the Supervision House. How could Luo Minglong let himself suffer such a big loss? Of course, he would backfire. This is also a price and rule."
"They... are people from the Teutonic faction?" Lin Hai could not imagine that the Teutonic faction that Lin Wei joined had reached the House of Commons. He also contacted Lin Wei here. So this makes sense. The Lin family entered the House of Commons. This was not the queen's intention, but some people in the House of Commons were pushing... These people were members of the Teutonic faction of the House of Commons.
For this strange faction, even the organization that made his father, Earl, besides his member, Lin Hai specifically felt that in a forest, their entire family was peeped at, but they could not see the other party's mystery as equally clear.
This feeling made him very bad, so he said coldly, "Teutonic faction? When Ganarson was in power in the Milan star area...where were they?"
Lin Wei sighed, "...More specifically, this is an institution established by a group of people to achieve a belief in mutual assistance. Ganeshson did not have direct evidence of evil at that time, and it was even more impossible that because I was a member of the Teutonic faction, I would take revenge and strike because the other party targeted me. I joined the Teutonic faction... not an evil gangster. This is just a sustenance of faith. The reason why the Teutonic faction and others curbed Luo Minglong was that the Assas Chen family, which had conspiracy undercurrents behind it, implemented the "New Republic Act."
Lin Hai knew that the current situation of Congress was the promotion of the New Republic Act. The biggest key to the New Republic Act was to use a seemingly just reason, such as opening up the private resources of the aristocracy to obtain public opinion and then promoting deep social reforms. The direction of this reform is in the hands of those who promote it. So specifically, is it the gift given by the Creator or the earth-shaking Pandora's box that swept through all the existing empires? The New Republic Act is the key to open all this. The Chen family intends to obtain this key.
In this way, they actually have a common purpose with the Teutonic faction. They are to prevent the Chen family from obtaining this key and to prevent them from launching some unknown secret conspiracy through the reasons for change.
Lin Hai pondered for a moment, then said, "What does the Teutonic school have to do with my mother?"
"Your mother" Lin Wei looked up at him and said, "She comes from the distant Covenant. The first order of Teutonic members is to... not allow any member to accept the Covenant."
"Star Covenant..." Lin Hai heard his voice trembling.
This is the most shocking message he has ever heard in his life.
So he tried hard to calm down and then said, "It's the... Human Star Alliance established during the last World War to gather the power of the entire universe's civilization against the Super Empire Eagle Empire?"
"The Star Alliance is the shadow above our heads. The Teutonic faction longs for the power of the past empire, but believes that it was the emergence of the Star Alliance that stopped the unification of the Eagle Empire and caused the great civilization to decline. Now the Human Star Alliance still puts many shackles on the empire with its remaining influence..."
"So our Teutonics believe that the Covenant is the greatest evil in the world. Based on this existence, the Teutonics aimed at restoring the empire with freedom and equality, the primary principle is to not allow members to accept any Covenant people."
Ahhhh, the opera meat appeared only once today.
