"... 'Empire'?"
Looking at the last paragraph, Colin felt that there might be something wrong with Roger's brain.
A bunch of peasants, in their twenties and thirties, the oldest is no older than forty...
Such a group of people establish a new political system
The name is still "Empire"...
Putting aside other things, with such a small number of people, does it sound appropriate to call them an "empire"
Including the slaves, there were only over 30,000 people...
Nearly one-third of them are in serious condition. Isn’t there something wrong with calling them this
But before he could answer, Roger continued.
"I know it's not very appropriate to say this now, but if we start to carry out external exploration, rescue, subjugation and other tasks, we at least need a name..."
"A name that can make you feel powerful just by hearing it. In today's world, no name can give people a greater sense of security than 'Empire'. A name that sounds inspiring enough, a political system that can concentrate all power in one place, a place where mankind belongs..."
"Everyone who hears this name knows what it means to join us..."
"There are not many people with such appeal nowadays. Apart from you, I don't see anyone else who is qualified."
"Moreover, we are not pursuing brutal rule or hegemony. We just want to unite all forces and open up a habitat on this land..."
"After getting your permission, I just had a conversation with other survivors and we have reached an agreement on this..."
"In your name, I hope that you can approve the establishment of the human 'empire'..."
Looking at the information that Rogge kept sending back, I have to say that Colin was a little convinced...
What mankind needs now is the emergence of a strong regime to bring all forces together under the same banner.
Considering the accumulated meaning of the word "empire" over thousands of years on Earth, it is almost impossible to find any other word that can replace the meaning it contains the moment it is spoken.
Some people may think it is cruel...
But, at least, people know that this empire established for the survival of mankind has enough power to be "brutal".
"It's no wonder that he is the 'top person' in charge of ideological work now..."
Colin sighed, but he didn't know how to reply...
You can't say I want to be the emperor, right
"But then again..."
Colin looked at Roger and said that he had approved the other party's decision... When did he approve it
No impression
[You realize that this survivor took your previous words as true and began to work accordingly.]
Ah this...
Colin just said a few words to boost morale, so how come people took it seriously
He suddenly felt like he was being forced into a task.
At this time, a large number of private messages came in. Looking quickly, there were about 40 to 50 survivors...
All of this is for persuasion...
Moreover, Colin was certain that these people were truly persuaded by Roger, rather than being "beaten" into a consensus by violence...
