Stellaris from the Automata Era

The commander knew clearly that he had temporarily gained the power of humanity to "betray" itself through his eloquence.

However, based on her understanding of Yan Luo and her imagination, she overestimated Yan Luo's abilities.

The commander believed that humans would soon realize that there were indeed many inappropriate aspects in the resolution they had discussed before.

By then, I'm afraid that the merit system in Yoerha's military expansion plan will be immediately invalidated by Yan Luo's order.

The situation was urgent, and she had to consolidate the results of this harvest before humans could react.

The best way to consolidate the results is, of course, to have the top humanoids immediately pass and implement the resolution! At the same time, inform the entire humanoid grassroots level.

As long as it comes to this point, even Yan Luo cannot change his mind and immediately abolish the merit system. In this way, the commander has a lot of room for maneuver.

Of course, if he is very firm, that would be another matter.

Anyway, no matter what, the commander must make things final!

Therefore, after grabbing A2, the commander immediately called several humanoid managers to start a meeting.

For A2, this may be the first time she has seen such a scene.

Virtual figures of different colors appeared one after another in this small room.

Relying on his own data, A2 clearly understood that these people in front of him were humanoid management.

After humans officially announced their return, the humanoids ended the chaotic era of "no humans above and no management below". Naturally, the managers who had been maintaining the "Human Parliament" were freed and appeared in front of the humanoids openly.

Although the process was quite difficult and chaotic, at least the information of humans and humanoid managers was no longer blocked as before.

Of course... now is not the time to detail the identities of these managers...

Looking at the shadows around them, the only two commanders who attended the meeting in person stood up.

As the initiator of the meeting, she had the responsibility to speak first and explain the purpose of the meeting to her colleagues.

Regarding the expansion of YoRHa's forces and the implementation of the merit system.

"We're a bit pressed for time, so I won't go into too much detail this time. I'll just send you the information directly so you can quickly and efficiently preview it."

Then the information exchange began. After all, humanoids are essentially mechanical life forms that rely on computer calculations.

Using visual and auditory communication methods can be said to be very inefficient. They have more efficient ways to communicate data.

However, considering the dolls' worship and imitation of humans, the inefficient communication method may have some symbolic meaning for the dolls.

Therefore, after browsing the information customized by the commander, these humanoid managers began to talk and whisper to each other as before.

After a long time, they finally regained their composure.

Then a red shadow began to speak.

"This is ridiculous! This kind of objectification of human beings is absolutely disrespectful!"

indeed.

The commander's merit system is indeed a bit absurd, and many people may not understand it.

So let’s make an analogy.

Refer to a certain green religion on Earth in the old days. Warriors who died in the holy war could receive 72 saints after their death. But if we replace these 72 saints with a effeminate leader...

This is similar to what the commander is doing now.

Yes, yes, yes, I know some people will say "this isn't better", but these are not the performances of normal people and have no reference value.

People who have been imbued with 'normal' beliefs will probably kill you for shouting like that!

To be honest, the reason why a certain red character can still stand there so calmly is largely because he may not have any troops that are more powerful than YoRHa.

Otherwise, a wanted notice would have been issued.

The commander also anticipated such great resistance from the humanoid upper echelons.

To be honest, if it weren't for the conflict of interest, she might also be part of the resistance.

Therefore, she had already prepared her own words.

"This proposal has been approved by the Lord." The commander turned his head, his eyes slowly moving back and forth between the various shadows.

Her expression was serious, and she tried her best to give off an air of oppression. After all, she had a righteous cause on her hands, and she couldn't afford to be weak in her stance.

"I'm just here to convey the adults' wishes."

The effect of these words was immediate, and all the humanoid managers were stunned on the spot.

The commander is very skilled at using humans as leverage to control disobedience.

Of course, the commander also knew that her suppression of other administrators was only a temporary illusion. Once human will deviated, many unpredictable consequences would occur.

So after explaining her own righteousness, she must also form an unbreakable alliance with the managers present!

So she began to change her tone.

"To be honest, the Merit System is a bold and avant-garde experiment, so it's bound to have its fair share of flaws and omissions, and it's sure to draw criticism from humans."

What... do you want to say?

The managers present were a little confused.

They didn't quite understand the commander's move now.

But the commander did not give them any explanation and directly started his combination of punches.

"So, Manager Hong, as the overall project leader, you have a huge responsibility."

Such words stunned all the humanoids. They had already said that this was an attempt that might have errors and omissions. Giving the identity of General Manager An to someone else on the spot, wasn't it obvious that he was asking others to take the blame?

Although human rebuke is indeed a different kind of beautiful natural sound.

However, as long as the system of a humanoid is functioning normally, it will not think of making itself uncomfortable in this way.

However..

"Looking at it this way, I do have a heavy responsibility."

"???"

The humanoid managers were confused again. They looked back and forth, trying to confirm that the voice just now came from a dissenting red shadow and was not a fake.

Chapter 2: Assisting A

I have to admit that humanoids are indeed obsessed with humans.

There are even humanoids with all kinds of emotions, and some strange habits will arise around humans.

For example, a certain manager became popular... It seemed that Yan Luo's initial harsh criticism had given her an unusual and strange hobby...

As a result, she has always been the vanguard who takes the blame and gets scolded, and her masochistic personality has almost become a recognized secret among the top leaders of the humanoids.

Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is the current situation. The commander might as well use it.

Yoerha was blamed for the reform plan and was asked if Hong wanted to take the position of general manager! ?

"Of course!" Hong was very excited, but she quickly realized that she was a little too extreme.

Then he adjusted his state and coughed lightly twice.

"What I mean is that our humanoid development has indeed been a bit slow recently, and we need some bold, open-minded and enterprising changes..."

"So you have no choice but to do it, right?" Black, representing the black group, held his forehead with his hand.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Hong, who had just looked like a royalist pioneer in defending human sovereignty, would change his expression so quickly.

They turned against each other in an instant for a little bit of profit, and...can the position of the person in charge who is obviously the one taking the blame really be considered a benefit?

So sometimes, even though they are in human form, he can't figure out what his compatriots are thinking.

Forget it. It’s obvious that something’s wrong with the royalist vanguard. It’s time for him, the backbone, to take action.

So he started speaking out.

"White..."

"Blake, you forgot that you are also a member of YoRHa!"

Apparently, the Commander seems to have his own unique way of dealing with black.

The moment Blake opened his mouth, she had already turned her gun around.

But her words still made Blake a little confused.

"When did I become Yoerha's person?"

"You forgot S, no! Did you forget M Troops?"

The M unit was the beginning of YoRHa's early plan. It was an all-male unit and was also the predecessor of the S model.

In the beginning, it was indeed a unit led by Blake.

However, as the model was developed and improved, it was scientifically (and magically) proven that males were inferior to females in combat prowess, and ultimately all members were redesigned as S-type electronic special attack models and incorporated into the YoRHa Project. (Note)

The commander's reminder instantly brought back memories of the past for Blake, but...what was the point?

"I haven't removed your leadership authority, which means you, Black, are also a part of Yoruha and a beneficiary of the military merit reform!" The commander raised his head, staring intently at Black. "In other words, you can use your military merit to further your relationship with the Lord, for example..."

The commander paused for a moment, closing her eyes and recalling her previous conversation with Yan Luo, wondering if there were any conditions favorable to her among the rights and interests sold by humans.

This memory was very short-lived, and she soon opened her eyes confidently.

"For example, asking an adult to play a father-like role."

"There's such a good thing... ahem, I mean, what an honor!"

Black became a die-hard supporter of the reform program...a member of the "selling out" movement.

After dealing with Black, the commander quickly turned his attention to the other managers of the humanoid upper echelons.

For the remaining colors, she must also offer benefits that are attractive enough.

"Honestly, YoRHa still has many imperfections in its operations, and our management team still has many vacancies. I'm wondering if anyone is interested..."

Is this the dark side of the humanoid?

After witnessing a series of unspeakable dirty deals, a2 didn't know what to say for a moment.

Generally speaking, she should have slammed the door and walked out immediately, then turned around and reported to Yan Luo.

Maybe he could even get the credit for 'protecting the emperor', and by the way, he could even stab the commander in the back to avenge the death of his former comrade.

The idea was correct, but the only problem was that the commander's plan was approved by Yan Luo.

Yes.

The reason why the attitude of the humanoid leaders changed so quickly was largely because this was a plan that was approved by humans and "conveyed" by the commander.

Although Yan Luo was unable to directly consult with them and make the final decision, it did make the managers more or less upset. However, considering Yoerha's position around humans...

Human guards!

In the current environment of the earth, they dismantle machines (mechanical life) that humans cannot dismantle, and they take care of things (mechanical life) that humans dare not interfere with. It is destiny and humans have given special permission. As long as they appear, even the old enemies of humans (mechanical life) cannot say a word to refute.

Thinking about it this way, the managers didn't seem to have any room to resist, not to mention that the commander also gave them the option of joining if they couldn't win.

What else can I say? Of course, I vote for it with the benefits.

Therefore, the scene was filled with joy.

Of course, after distributing the benefits, they still have to take an attitude and promote human plans.

I don't know which manager said this: "Speaking of which, this military merit reform is still a bit ahead of its time. I'm afraid many humanoids will resist the content here.

Not to mention that this involves humans, so the implementation would be quite difficult.”

"So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, we need a round log to establish trust, and I am willing to recommend myself to be the first person to carry out this reform!"

"Goodness me, you're using old-fashioned Chinese idioms like this?!"

I think you just want to be the first person to try something new!

There's only one human being, and if you eat one, you don't know how long it will take for the next one to come! Why should you be given the first turn?!

Then the whole place started to get noisy.
