"What are you talking about?!" Wei Guoran couldn't help talking.
"I said, I really appreciate Hilco. Zu'an people are lucky to have such a leader who has both brains and iron fists, but also insists on faith, among those short-sighted and greedy alchemy barons like insects."
Li Wei repeated with emphasis, and then covered his ears.
Sure enough, the next second, the familiar Zu'an dialect came rushing through the walls:
"Fuck NM! Lucky, do you think this is the luck of Zu'an people? Just that despicable and cruel villain?"
If Hilko appears, Zu'an people will be lucky.
What about her adoptive father, the former leader Vander who was overthrown and killed by Hilko? Is it the misfortune of Zu'an people?
"I think you are just a piece of toilet paper without eyes and brains when you step on a horse. You can't fart except licking the buttocks of that dog!" Wei angrily scolded.
"Don't get excited." Liwei replied in a low voice: "I mean, compared with other alchemical barons, Hilco is already very good."
"Since you are also from Zu'an, do you know what those gold barons are?"
Levi has analyzed it before.
These alchemical barons are the most backward production relations in Zu'an. They just want to rely on Zu'an's cheap labor forever to supply low value-added minerals, chemical raw materials, and mechanical accessories to Picheng and earn a little leftovers.
In fact, they are the economic vassals of Zu'an who manage Zu'an for Picheng Capital. They are the Pieterwolf hounds with Zu'an skins.
So the owners of Picheng enterprises ate meat, and the Zu'an alchemist drank soup. Picheng people were given leftovers, and Zu'an people were responsible for serving as food materials.
So most of the alchemist barons, although they also said they were Zu'an people and scolded Picheng people, actually they didn't want to turn against the old men of Pirtwaff at all.
"Just because the alchemical barons are Zu'an people, because occasionally several alchemical barons take the lead in rebelling against Picheng, they think they are enemies with Picheng entrepreneurs. On the contrary, they are real friends from the perspective of class."
"So you should be able to understand how special Hilco is, right?"
"He clearly can compromise and cooperate with Picheng, and then occupy the head of Zu'an people safely, suck Zu'an people's blood together with the old men of Picheng, and lead a life like a local emperor."
"But Hilco is not here."
His goal has always been to achieve Zu'an's independence and freedom.
With this belief alone, he has been several dimensions higher than those parasitic alchemical barons.
"You... What are you talking about?" Wei retorted with clenched teeth, "I know Hilko, he is a mean man!"
"What he said is for Zu'an - I think he clearly wants to tie all Zu'an people to his chariot and use Zu'an's blood to realize his own ambition by fighting against Pirtwaff!"
There is a certain truth in this statement under the appropriate circumstances.
But it's not good in Zu'an today.
Talking about the harmfulness of nationalism in a semi colony still suffering from the brutal oppression of the suzerain is like trying to persuade a malnourished person to eat less meat, eggs and milk and avoid obesity.
"Wei, you are right. Hilko is using those Zu'an people to fool them into stepping on the chariot with the slogan of" for Zu'an ", so that they can bleed for his ambition."
"If we don't do this, are the Zu'an people not bleeding?"
"Do they have anywhere else to go without getting on the chariot?"
"Where to go? Black mines, chemical plants? To give to the alchemist baron and master Picheng, when the average life expectancy is less than 30 years old for industrial consumables?!"
"Then he left several orphans irresponsibly before he died, so that the next generation, the next generation, could die in the stinking ditch of Zu'an like them. After death, the body would have to be sold in the alchemy shop, not even a whole body could be left?"
Li Wei's repeated questioning made Wei unable to refute.
Zu'an people have already reached the point where it is easier to hang themselves with a sling than to continue living. If we don't resist at this time, can we just sit and wait to die?
Although Hilko has his ambition and his ideological limitations, he is at least a rebel.
"No..." Wei's momentum gradually weakened.
But she still couldn't agree with Livy's praise of Hilko: "No, it doesn't work."
"The Zu'an people have not tried what Hilko is doing before. We have tried many times, but each time the result is like the failure Vander encountered at the Canal Bridge ten years ago, which makes everyone bleed in vain."
Wei sighed deeply.
Her parents died in the failed armed riot ten years ago.
She saw her parents die in front of her. I saw the corpse that was still warm on the ground, the pungent white smoke and red blood. Blood Almost dyed the whole bridge red.
At a young age, Wei has already deeply realized the consequences of resistance.
"You are afraid." Li Wei broke her mind with a word.
"Nonsense, nonsense!" She beat down the wall in shame and made a dull noise: "I just don't want to see Zu'an people do such senseless resistance and let them die for nothing!"
"So, this is where Hilko is better than Vander."
"He knows that Zuan's overall strength is not as good as that of Pirtwoff, so he has been accumulating strength and making preparations secretly, instead of acting blindly according to his emotions."
"Twilight, do you know this?"
Twilight Potion is the killer weapon that Hilko prepared for his great cause of independence.
This overbearing drug, which can greatly strengthen human function in a short time, can help Zu'an people to barely smooth the absolute strength gap between them and Pirtwaff.
With this thing, it is no longer wishful thinking to defeat the Pi Chenglao.
Hilko not only has the spirit of resistance, but also has come up with a feasible plan of resistance, which has been implemented for years.
"He is targeted, organized, and armed. He also knows how to assess the situation, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity. Hilko's performance is better than any rebel in Zu'an's history."
"I think he might be able to do it this time."
Liwei gave a good evaluation of Hilco.
"No, it's impossible!" The devil who killed her once again will become a hero leading Zu'an to independence?
Weigen couldn't stand the idea.
But she could not refute Levi's reasonable analysis.
As a rough Zu'an tomboy, Wei is better at talking with his fists. But at this time, across different cells, she could not punch first, and then "exchange views" with Li Wei.
So Wei could only murmur painfully: "No, he can't do it! Zu'an people have been killing for nothing... Vander or Hilko, this kind of thing has happened too many times before!"
"That..." When Li Wei saw that the time was ripe, he talked more deeply: "In fact, the Zu'an people's previous resistance had not completely failed."
"Hmm?" Wei listened carefully and asked, "What do you mean? For so many years, Zu'an people have not even crossed the border canal once. Can it be considered a success?"
"Success is certainly not a success, but our resistance so many times has indeed played a positive role."
"Positive effect?"
Bah! Where does it play a positive role.
Having resisted so many times for more than 200 years, can the life of Zu'an people become better one day?
"The life of Zu'an people has not changed, but..."
"The life of Picheng people has become better."
Livy gave a shocking answer.
Then he asked, "Wei, do you think people in Picheng live well?"
"Of course."
"Then why are they having a good time?"
"The reason why people in Picheng live well is that they are naturally smarter, more capable and more creative than Zu'an people. What is the great and noble nationality of Picheng people?"
Of course not.
Everyone knows that Zu'an people are more hardworking, capable and likeable than Picheng people.
Then why can civilians in Picheng live so much better than Zu'an people? Why are the salaries of Picheng people obviously higher than those of Zu'an people even if they do the same job?
"Why else..." Wei frowned, "because the Picheng guys are their own people,"
"It's not normal for Master Picheng to give more money to his own people."
"No, this is not normal." Li Wei couldn't help laughing:
"Wei, do you think that the big plutocrats in Piltwoff have too much money and are too kind to treat civilians in Picheng as their own people, so they can give them such good benefits and high salaries?"
"No --"
"The good days of Picheng people are actually the bloody resistance of Zu'an people again and again in those years, and they rushed out for them!"
