"General, you are worried."

A figure appeared on the porthole, and then it was quickly peeled off and filled in, becoming a realistic projection.

The energetic Imperial Guard 2.0 Labrador appeared in front of Thomas with his latest image of short blond hair.

Labrador asked: "Are you expressing concern about the future war situation? Or are you pitying these soldiers who are about to devote everything to the empire?"

"Labrador," General Thomas asked with a frown, "you should have received the battle plan."

"Yes, General, we want to carry out a continuous war, bleed the New Federation, create panic, and control our own losses to a low level."

Labrador smiled and said:

"This is not a problem. I have passed the test and I can directly take over the command of the front line, general.

“What I’m more worried about now is the follow-up supply line issue.

"There is some chaos within the empire now, and many workers in armaments factories are on strike. The light industrial fleet alone can only meet the needs of general combat. If several larger-scale wars break out, we will still need domestic material assistance."

Admiral Thomas didn't say anything, but asked: "What do you think of this war?"

"It doesn't matter what I think," Labrador said with a smile. "All I need to do is execute the orders I get. This is the whole meaning of my existence."

Thomas turned to look at Labrador.

The smile on the corner of Labrador's mouth was very stylized.

"Okay, Labrador, use your own thinking ability to answer me, what do you think of the large-scale strikes and conflicts that are occurring in the empire today?"

"This is a problem of class conflict that the empire cannot resolve."

Labrador's smile gradually faded and he said seriously:

"The empire cannot find an effective balance between nobles and commoners, so the current situation will inevitably occur.

"Actually, in my judgment, the real problem of the empire does not lie with these civilians who are dissatisfied with the existence of the privileged class.

"Human beings are social creatures that pursue a sense of superiority and social existence. The main demand of the common people who are causing trouble now is to amend the imperial laws so that the aristocracy clearly stipulated in the imperial laws will disappear.

"When the empire adopts a repressive approach or a more gentle approach to suppress these disturbances and let the dignity of the civilians step aside, the civilians will be resentful, but they will adapt to the subsequent life on their own, and they will not dare to face it because they are afraid of it.

succumbed to the threat of death and the force of the empire.

"It's like, if we want to suppress these civilian unrest, we first promulgate a law - any civilian who participates in armed demonstrations will be sentenced to three years in prison, and then when implementing this law, we will only detain the civilians for more than ten days and fine them.

Their reaction will be much smaller.

"This is a normal human reaction.

"The real problem of the empire lies in the tens of billions of slaves and those who have not even entered the household registration system.

"When they start to riot, and the empire uses force to suppress them, and the dignity of slaves is reduced, then they will have nothing, cannot survive, and they will not be able to adapt to that kind of life on their own.

"This is the reason why slaves currently dare not cause trouble, but it is also the biggest trouble for the empire."

Thomas said: "The empire has now begun to make arrangements to comprehensively suppress the conflicts between civilians and nobles."

"This is the main significance of this foreign war."

Labrador smiled and said:

"When civilians are wronged, they can just throw their fire on the New Federation.

"It is a good way to guide people to hate the New Federation at the social level."

"In your judgment, is it ethical for the empire to do this?"

"It's not ethical," Labrador said, "but there is no need to pay attention to morality in a war between great powers."

Thomas smiled: "You are now a qualified auxiliary system."

Labrador looked thoughtful.

Thomas looked down at the information in the exclusive communicator and sighed softly: "I will announce the battle plan soon and let the war break out again. I don't know where this war will lead the empire, and I will become the empire

The criminals in the history books are still heroes, but these are not things I should consider. I must follow the collective will."

Labrador said softly: "What you follow is the will of the small group."

Thomas was startled for a moment, and he frowned and looked at Labrador.

Labrador just stood aside with a smile.

"What did you just say? Labrador?"

Thomas' eyes became a little sharp:

"I know that you are an independent thinking body, not much different from me. What you just said is very dangerous."

"Yes, General," Labrador continued to smile, "I am just an auxiliary system to help you complete battlefield command more easily. This is my job. I will not let my personal emotions affect my work...

…You are a friend of the ghost, right?”

Thomas nodded: "Yes, Hanton is my good friend, and I cherish the time spent with him."

"Did he do something wrong?"

Labrador asked:

"After I woke up after completing the core upgrade, I looked at the messy empire, the parades that broke out everywhere, and the news that his body was blown up with a shaped bomb. For a moment, I doubted the authenticity of this world.

"Ghost is also my friend, and he is more like my teacher. The trip I took with him was the experience that had the greatest impact on my core programming.

"The human world he described is not in the empire, or in other words, it is not in the current empire."

"Labrador!"

Thomas held his breath:

"You now have the possibility of betraying the empire!"

"But General, I will not betray the empire. I will continue to follow your orders, and I will only follow your orders."'

Labrador's smile became a little weak and his expression became a little pale:

"I will watch the empire go to its grave.

"I will sound the death knell for the empire.

"I will erect a tombstone in front of the empire's tomb and write down the empire's final journey in a language I can understand.

"Those are the disgraceful memories of human civilization in the galaxy."

Thomas pursed his lips tightly and looked at each other with Labrador.

After a long time, Admiral Thomas unclenched his fist and whispered: "It's time to give orders, auxiliary system."

"As you command, General."

Half a galaxy later, the First and Third Imperial Expeditionary Fleets entered the border of the New Federation, and the Third Imperial Expedition began.

Almost at the same moment;

Deep inside the Domingos home planet.

"Spiritual heart...spiritual heart?"

"Oh, Molly, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask you to do me a favor. I'm having some trouble with my boss."

"Lingxin is honored to serve you."
