Or, the world of C doesn't care what ordinary people think, but does not allow geass holders to participate in establishing an equal special zone?
It doesn't matter what Euphemia does, but it's not okay for Lelouch, the geass owner, to embark on this path?
Su Qing looked indifferent.
C's world, please react.
Let me catch your little tail, pour boiling water into your ant hole, and cut the earthworm in half vertically.
Chapter 12 World
War, plague, disease, poverty.
This is what is happening to billions of people around the world.
Suzaku Kururugi is not yet great enough to change the world. He can hardly see any hope of success in fighting for power for the people of District 11. He can only take one step at a time.
Of course, he also thought about what caused all this and why the world was like this.
——But I didn’t figure it out.
Blame Britain?
It’s hard to say about island countries, but in those remote areas, British colonization has actually promoted the progress of local people. How can this be justified?
Inside the room, Su Qing was talking, Suzaku and Nanali were listening.
The more he listened, the more solemn Kururugi Suzaku's expression became, as if he was a person who had been lost in the darkness for a long time and had just seen the first ray of light.
But at the same time, more doubts arise in my mind.
Su Qing took a sip of water and said, "If you don't understand what I just said, you can ask me."
Suzaku couldn't help but raise his hand. Even though Nunnally wouldn't care, as a private first class, it was time for Nunnally, as a princess, to express her opinion first.
But he couldn't care less.
Suzaku asked in confusion: "Sir, in some areas such as Africa, British colonization has become an opportunity for the development of local people... How do you explain this?"
"Don't look at the problem too one-sidedly. This is a typical example of science and technology determining productivity."
Su Qing said calmly: "Britain's advanced technology has indeed promoted the development of backward areas, but where did this technology come from?"
"Was it developed by the nobles? Was it developed by the princes and ministers? Or was it developed by ordinary people?
Britain brought advanced technology to backward areas and exploited local resources and labor. On the surface, the little leftovers Britain left for the locals might be more than what they would have originally gained.
But don't think of Britain as a monolith.
We need to separate the upper and lower classes in Britain. Have the real working British people received the rewards they deserve?
British nobles... For example, Clovis, what contributions did he make to deserve the position of Governor of District 11?"
Nunnally coughed dryly. It was really hard to hold back in Clovis' mansion, using him as a negative example.
Kururugi Suzaku couldn't help but continue to ask: "But the development of technology is due to the support of the British royal family, right? For example, Knightmare, as the British royal family that led all these changes, shouldn't they enjoy some of the benefits?"
Su Qing looked at Shugi Suzaku and saw that he was a very stubborn person.
He asked in return: "What about the ordinary people who actually work? The colonial coders who work hard to open the mines, whose mines create value that can easily feed a family of three every day, should be left with nothing to wear and nothing to eat?"
Kururugi Suzaku was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "This is exactly what I am wondering."
There are also those who stand on the side of the royal family and make excuses for the royal family... Su Qing shook his head and said to the girl beside him: "Nunali, you explain."
"Yes, teacher." Nanali responded politely, and said in a gentle voice: "But, how much should Britain gain from leading the technological change? How much did the colonial numberers gain? Who sets this standard?"
Kururugi Suzaku frowned and said, "Is it Britain himself?"
"To be precise, it was the British army. When the army was heading to the island country, did Britain give the island country a heads-up?"
Su Qing said calmly: "If a country can ensure that the nobles obtain the vast majority of benefits while satisfying the majority of the lower classes, there are only two possibilities."
"Or maybe the technology is advancing too fast, and the growth in revenue can satisfy the desires of most people, so the lower classes are too lazy to care about the small losses."
“Or, it gives value to something that is worthless.”
Su Qing said: "For example, pure blood."
"The lower-class soldiers of Britain fight for their lives for the upper class. The lower-class soldiers of Britain work overtime day and night for the upper class. What they get is only the leftovers left by the noble masters, and... contempt for the colonies, and insults and even shootings of the numbered people and even the honorary Britannians at will."
"Although they didn't get enough money and food, they felt the pleasure of being the best and went back to the factory to work overtime."
Su Qing said to Kururugi Suzaku: "You alone, with your excellent abilities, may be able to hold a high position in the future, but it is impossible to change the current situation where people in District 11 are discriminated against by Britain, because Britain needs this."
Su Qing shrugged and said, "Even if you become a Knight of the Round Table and turn the island country into your own fiefdom, you will never be able to change the fate of the people in District 11."
"Becoming a Knight of the Round Table will allow you to make District 11 your fiefdom, but can you expel the British from District 11?"
Kururugi Suzaku couldn't help but retort: "But if it works, I can restrict it..."
"Is it possible?" Su Qing waved his hand and said, "Are you sure those nobles will be willing to be oppressed by the numberer they once looked down upon? By then, even the nobles who didn't originally bully the people of District 11 will probably get involved just to embarrass you, the numberer who is above them."
Kururugi Suzaku frowned. This was too much like something that British nobles would do. He couldn't help but say, "But as long as I have made enough merits, I can get the corresponding status. I only need the emperor to give an order, and I should be able to change all this."
"That's right." Su Qing nodded quickly and admitted, "If Charles wants to improve the treatment of people in District 11 from top to bottom, it is indeed possible."
In this world, there are too many people who fanatically believe in the superiors, especially people like Charles who pushed Britain to the top of the world.
Suzaku's face relaxed slightly. He had been shaken, but he still wanted to defend his past self. This at least showed that the path he chose was not completely impossible.
Su Qing asked back: "But why do you think that your position in Charles' heart can surpass those nobles who look down on those with numbers? Do you have that value?"
Zhuque's face was very determined: "As long as we can produce results..."
“No, no, no!” Su Qing shook her head and said, “Let Charles, the Emperor of Britain, believe that your value exceeds that of the British nobles who fully support him at home. Not only will he grant you the 11th District, but he will also personally endorse you and forbid the British to discriminate against the people of the 11th District…”
Su Qing asked back: "Is it possible that someone as important as you can easily seize power in Britain? As long as you want, you can ascend to the throne at any time?"
Zhuque's face froze...Is that the case?
Su Qing pretended to understand: "I understand. When you said 'change Britain from within', you mean you want to usurp the throne? Remove Charles from power and become the emperor of Britain? This way, the people of District 11 won't have to sacrifice, and the fate of Britain can be changed easily."
Zhumu Zhuque: "..."
Even if I eat three pounds of stupid movies, I wouldn't dare to think of this script!
Su Qing stood up and patted Kururugi Suzaku on the shoulder: "Give up your fantasy. If you want the people in District 11 to live a better life, relying on the British high-level officials is a dead end."
"It is right to change Britain from within, but that should not be achieved by being as high up as possible, but by making the lower classes of Britain realize that they are being exploited and uniting all the exploited."
Su Qing shrugged and said, "The soldiers' weapons are made by workers. Soldiers also have parents and friends. The exquisite decorations at the nobles' banquets, the exquisite American style, are all made by workers."
"As long as this power is awakened, Britain will be just a paper tiger."
Su Qing added in his heart that the prerequisite is that this power can be awakened.
Is Britain in this world very powerful?
very powerful.
But from the perspective of other worlds, it is very weak.
With a simple mental scan of Area 11, Su Qing could tell that even the British were not having a good time.
It was probably after Charles came to power that he expanded frantically throughout the world - and not to attack valuable strategic locations, but to attack ruins related to the World of C, such as Shingen Island.
When it comes to militarism, Emperor Wu of Han and Charles are both little brothers.
——There is no way. Emperor Wu of Han’s ministers are all normal people. There is a world of C here, and the lower-class people are born to worship the strong.
As long as they could keep themselves from starving, they would be loyal to the charismatic emperor.
If Emperor Wu of Han had such a thing as the C world, he would have issued a shameless edict of repentance in his later years. With one order, the people would have donated all the money and grain in their homes even though they could only eat once every three days.
In a world without C, Charles started a large-scale war from the top and conquered dozens of colonies in succession. He never quelled the unrest within the colonies. The resistance within the colonies was fierce, but the scale of the British military continued to expand...
The internal protests have been going on eight hundred times.
Chapter 12 Accident
The more he taught, the more awkward Su Qing felt.
He felt that a sacred book like Capital might fall from its pedestal if placed in the world of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
Ma Sheng has criticized the evils of capital as harshly as possible, but considering the current situation in the world, this criticism seems too mild.
The situation in this world does not seem to be profound enough in Das Kapital.
For example, Ma Sheng would not write about what you should do when a knife falls on your head.
Isn't this common sense? If the knife is about to fall on your head, you have to bite off a piece of flesh even if you have to rely on your teeth.
When the nobles’ oppression of the lower classes reaches a certain extent, even a dog would know to stand up and resist—but what if it doesn’t resist?
Then the nobles will certainly continue to oppress the lower classes and intensify their efforts.
Even Ma Sheng lacks imagination when it comes to these social phenomena that go beyond common sense. All we can say is that there are all kinds of birds in the forest.
Just deal with it.
There is capitalism in this world, such as the EU...but in this world, the EU is the weakest of the three poles.
In the structure of Britain, feudalism can suppress capitalism. Who can we turn to for justice?
This world is indeed bizarre.
While keeping one point of energy for teaching, Su Qing used nine points of energy to perceive his surroundings.
During the lecture, Su Qing did not notice anything unusual, as if there was no movement in the world of C at all.
But the world is like this, and the world of C will inevitably suppress the progress of human thinking.
