The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 403 Vader Is Released From Prison

Jiang Yu thought that it was no longer necessary for him to stay on Earth, so he began to prepare for his return trip to Jupiter.

The most important preparation was to find Luo Ji for a drink.

The two chatted happily, and when their tongues got a little too big, Luo Ji laughed and said, "In a blink of an eye, I was already over 90 years old. When we were born, this age was just waiting to die, but now I am Still healthy."

He sighed and continued: "We are all people who have crossed centuries and experienced great storms, but my duties have basically been completed, and you still have a long way to go."

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "I have heard many people tell me the words 'there is a long way to go'."

He vaguely remembered that Director Ji, Chang Weisi, Kong Xiang, Bai Xiangdong, etc. all seemed to have said similar things.

Jiang Yu looked at Luo Ji: "Take a rest, you have worked hard all these years.

"I also want to take advantage of this rare stable period to spend more time with my family and enjoy life."

Luo Ji nodded and said, "The only thing that worries me is Cheng Ping. When the PDC and Fleet International reach a dead end, everyone will support such a hardliner.

"As the situation of PDC gets better and better, more and more people oppose Cheng Ping. PDC is likely to go down the old road. I hope you can protect Cheng Ping."

Jiang Yu pinched his left temple: "Cheng Ping's reforms are not thorough, and members of parliament representing the interests of the consortium still have a huge say.

"This is wrong. I reminded Cheng Ping before that the government must be basically fair and just, and not become a government of a certain class."

Luo Ji laughed, "It's hard to get back."

Jiang Yu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Luo Ji: "Don't worry, I will save Cheng Ping's life."

The drink was very enjoyable, and the consequence of this was that Jiang Yu was drunk again.

He remembered the last time he was so drunk, it seemed to be the last drink he had with Chang Weisi.

Now, Chang Weisi has long since become an ancient man.

Just as Jiang Yu was feeling emotional, No. [-] came to report that Thomas Vader had come to visit suddenly.

"I was just released from prison yesterday." Wade said the first sentence: "Thank you for your interview."

Originally, he would not be released until next year, but he saved many prison guards in previous disasters and was active in reconstruction work, so he was released early.

Jiang Yu noticed that Vader's eyes were calm, which was different from Luo Ji's calmness. It was a kind of indifference that never changed when a mountain collapsed in front of him.

Jiang Yu smiled and said: "There is no need to be so humble, we have fought in the same trench, and there is nothing we can't see or not see."

Wade said, "No, I have to be humble, because I'm here today to look for a job."

There was no flattery or entreaty on his face, not even a smile, as if the job was looking for him, not him looking for it.

Vader continued: "I've seen your speech on TV, our goals are similar, we are all moving forward by whatever means.

"PDC has no hope, and the times will eventually eliminate them."

Jiang Yu squeezed his chin, lost in thought.

After more than half a minute, Jiang Yu shook his head suddenly: "Sorry, if you come to live in the solar system country, I welcome you very much, and I will give you nationality as long as you come.

"But the position of consul cannot be given to you!"

"Why?" Vader's eyes finally changed: "After Rey Diaz passed away, you should need a strong assistant."

Jiang Yu sighed: "Because of your unscrupulous methods! When dealing with the interstellar crisis, the life and death of the [-] million citizens and [-] million immigrants in the solar system country are often between the thoughts of the Wallfacers and the ruling government.

"Your unscrupulousness will kill many people."

Vader was slightly taken aback: "To be honest, I am a little disappointed by what you said. I didn't expect you to be such an indecisive person."

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "My heart is as hard as iron, and this level of aggressiveness has no effect on me."

Then he said solemnly: "Vade, we all know that there are many things that are more important than life, and we all have many pursuits that are higher than life.

"But not everyone has this kind of awareness. There are still many people who abide by the laws and regulations and hope to live a good life, but when they are needed, they have the courage and responsibility to stand up.

"This is the normal state of life. Are we going to eliminate them just because they can't keep up with us?

"This is not right. As long as they have enough courage and responsibility when we need them, we must allow them to have the right to enjoy life."

Vader frowned and said: "Your request is too low, the lesson of PDC is just around the corner."

The robot servant brought Vader a cup of tea, and Jiang Yu made a gesture of invitation: "You can say this, which means that my judgment is good.

"You are an excellent intelligence officer with a firm will and are able to lead a certain department with ease, but you are not a qualified national ruler.

"The people of the solar system countries are actually not much different from the citizens of the PDC. The only difference is that Ray Diaz and I have taught the people to take responsibility and sense of responsibility over the years.

"Freedom and responsibility are not in conflict.

"It's this small difference that makes a huge difference in the performance of the people and citizens!
"During the second battle, I was amazed by the power of the people, but the citizens of the PDC would never have such a sense of mission and responsibility."

Vader stared into Jiang Yu's eyes: "You should know that we don't have time to enjoy life now."

Jiang Yu laughed and said, "It's you and I who don't have time to enjoy life, not everyone!"

He sighed: "I have always admired your determination.

"But your determination is terrible, just like you want to kill Cheng Xin.

"I also found Cheng Xin very unpleasant, and even gave her a slap in the face, and even thought about killing her?
"But in the end I still didn't do it."

Jiang Yu spread his hands: "Do you understand? This is the basic respect for life.

"I don't agree with her, it's okay, I will continue to do mine, just ignore her, but why kill her?"

Vader nodded: "I understand."

"No, you don't understand." Jiang Yu said seriously: "Our difference is that I will do whatever it takes, but I have a bottom line, but you don't.

"Giving the solar system country to you will achieve my goal, but it will also run counter to my original intention."

Looking at the back of Vader leaving, Jiang Yu remained silent for a long time.

Many people think that Vader is very similar to Rey Diaz, but only someone like Jiang Yu who has been in touch with Rey Diaz for a long time can feel the flame in his heart.

That flame is the hope of mankind, an interpretation of human nature.

But Vader didn't have this. Jiang Yu felt that Vader was more like a cold killer, or a cold butcher.

Sometimes this indifference and ruthlessness is a great human advantage, but other times it creates intense turmoil and restlessness.

Jiang Yu doesn't like such extreme people, which violates the original intention and core spirit of the solar system country as a whole.

Two days later, Jiang Yu left the earth in a shuttle, and many dignitaries and nearby people came to see him off.

Among them was Cheng Xin, who pleaded with Jiang Yu: "Please don't give up on the earth and its people."

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Please don't pin all your hopes on others."

Cheng Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Please give some hints to humans on Earth!"

Jiang Yu still smiled and said: "Please remember Sophon's reminder, this is the last reminder for you, if you can give me a hand, I don't mind writing my name upside down."

　Thanks to [Neil*Reikes] for the 100 point reward.
