Admiral of Hogwarts

351 May the glory of mankind last forever

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy to be able to give a speech at this time. Of course, I will make sure that this speech is as short as possible. After all, everyone has to eat soon."

After everyone was in place, Hugo came to the podium in the auditorium and began to speak. When he finished the first sentence, those present laughed and relaxed at the same time.

"Today, our cosmic plan has taken the first step. In this era where ignorance and knowledge coexist, we can be said to have taken a crucial step towards knowledge and civilization."

"No one knows how far we can go on this road of civilization, but judging from the existing history, we have been moving along this road! At the same time, the speed of progress is getting faster and faster."

"A successful launch like today is indeed an important step. But while this step will drive away old evils, it will also give rise to new evils, new ignorance, new problems and new dangers."

"The vision shown by space will certainly bring huge rewards, but it will also be accompanied by huge difficulties and high costs, so sometimes everyone will be confused or even hesitate to move forward."

"But what I want to say is that all great and glorious actions are accompanied by great difficulties, and their completion requires a spirit of continuous progress and a corresponding courage."

"It may be more comfortable to stay the same, but this comfort may completely destroy us. We are not just the people here, but the entire human race-"

Hugo's speech, accompanied by the ancient god Admiral's unique spiritual infection, quickly penetrated the souls of everyone present, and everyone listened to his speech attentively.

"Progress is not only necessary, but also urgent. If our progress slows down, we will fall into internal friction and destroy the entire human race."

"——For example, more than half a century ago, a wizard named Grindelwald tried to rule all humans. The theory he relied on was that wizards were better than ordinary people who did not know magic."

After hearing this, everyone present, including the wizard, shook their heads. The wizards recruited by the shipgirls were either of mixed race or of mixed race, so naturally they hated this theory.

"Of course, this theory contains evil intentions, because through this theory, the other party can propose that those pure-blood wizards who have mastered more powerful magic and more profound knowledge are better, and Grindelwald is the best among them."

"When this is promoted step by step, the whole world will become a pyramid structure. Grindelwald rules the pure-blood wizards, and the pure-blood wizards rule the mixed-blood and hemp species. The one at the bottom They are ordinary people who don't know any magic."

"At least I think that such a structure is a very unfavorable structure for everyone present, because those pure-blood wizards in high positions obviously want to protect their own interests, and all of us here have all the resources and knowledge. They’re all just slaves.”

"Yes, that's it."

"We will never be slaves."

At this point, the emotions of everyone present were aroused, because everyone knew that if Grindelwald had really won and realized his plan, everyone present would be a slave.

"Why is Grindelwald able to incite so many people? As far as I know, there are many people with our status among the people he incites." After everyone's mood calmed down a little, Hugo continued his speech.

"It's very simple. This is because the development speed of the wizarding world is slower than that of ordinary people. At the same time, the resources on the earth are limited. Therefore, everyone has fallen into the Thucydides Trap."

"Grindelwald regards wizards and ordinary people as two competing objects. He believes that the development of the ordinary people's world will eventually threaten the wizarding world, and then completely destroy the wizarding world."

"From a certain perspective, his view is reasonable. Because at that time, people's vision was limited to the earth, and the boundary between wizards and ordinary people could not be broken."

"Under such a premise, when two entities with obvious differences need to compete for a limited resource, war is naturally unavoidable."

"But the solution given by Grindelwald is either a hidden ambition or a brainstorm. Because what he claims to fight is ordinary people's arrogance, desire for power and barbarism."

"Just think about it and you will know that the things he claims to fight against are not unique to ordinary people, but are universal among humans. If you look at it proportionally, the proportion of idiots among wizards is about the same as that of ordinary people."

"From such a stupid judgment, the solution proposed by the other party is to suppress the development of the entire human society and stabilize the entire human society by fixing the pace of mankind."

"For example, the current shortage of a large number of resources is purely due to the development of technology. For example, in the era without industry, oil would have been enough, because the demand for oil for lighting and heating was very small."

"What Grindelwald has to do is to maintain mankind in that low-consumption era forever, and allow mankind to survive at a low cost by destroying the future of mankind."

"But now, we can take some more active measures to deal with the problems that all mankind has to face." At this point, Hugo raised his voice and said.

"Now, we have a way to break through the boundary between wizards and humans, so that the two seemingly irreconcilable beings no longer have the same gap as before."

"More importantly, compared to the earth, which has limited resources, we now have a universe with nearly unlimited resources to explore, opening up a path that was never imagined in that era."

"The reason why we made the decision to explore the universe is not because it is easy, but precisely because it is difficult to achieve."

"In this process, we will spend a lot of manpower, material resources, and even sacrifices. But it will all be worth it, because this goal will promote us to achieve the best organization and test our top technology and power."

"These jobs will not only generate a large number of new jobs and technological improvements to promote the development of the entire human society, but more importantly, they will allow us to open a new era of space exploration for the entire human race."

“Many years ago, the great British explorer George Mallary died while climbing Mount Everest. Someone once asked him why he climbed Mount Everest, and he replied, ‘Because it’s there. "

"Okay, space is out there, and we're going to explore it. The moon and other planets are out there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are out there.

"——I believe that now we will have an unprecedented bright future. And as pioneers, we will also leave our most important page in human history."

At this point, Hugo, who was excited because of the enthusiastic atmosphere, gave a fierce military salute, and then shouted out the slogan that he thought was a bit out of place before: "For all mankind."

When Hugo's last words fell, everyone present stood up. The military personnel, including the ship girl, raised their hands to the side of their foreheads in a military salute, while the remaining civilian personnel raised their right arms. , and press your right hand on your heart.

Then, they shouted another slogan at the same time.

"May the glory of mankind last forever——"
