Chapter 167: Hope of the Future (4) (2/2)

They had already known that the Republic wasn’t a perfect country They knew all this, but it was better for them to be drunk on the utopia of an equal world that the Republic spoke of, rather than for thedom It would only have an adverse reaction to ask such people to be loyal to the kingdo was a completely different future

“The status syste ti you a perfect utopia It is a fantasy world that will never be obtained by actual huht for the current times”

Milton continued to talk

“The future I hope for this country is one where all the citizens have the right to participate in state affairs”

The people murmured loudly at his words

“What does that mean?”

“The people participate in state affairs? Does that even make sense?”

“Isn’t that also a utopia?”

Milton shook his head at that question

“It’s still just a vague idea”

That was a lie It went beyond vague ideas In Milton’s head were a lot of defined ideas and plans After all, hadn’t he come from such a country, no, froive a few examples, I want to create a parliament that determines the important policies of the country, and the people in the parliament will be elected by voters In other words, the people will choose their own leaders”

The people stirred at those words

“What do you mean ill personally pick the leaders?”

“Is that possible?”

The people were unsettled, but Milton continued to talk

“We will create government offices that will administer and enforce laws and select people with specialized knowledge in that field In order to select such talented people, ill take tests that will not discriminate based on status or class”

It was very pleasant for the crowd to hear that tests without will be administered to recruit people without discriovernment offices that will maintain national defense and public peace, as well as econo into various fields and selecting talented people for each field, we intent to create a world where anyone, regardless of status can rise to key positions within the country as long as they have the ability I plan to call it a democracy”

For the first time, the word de about it for a while, but he hadn’t the courage to talk about it He ell aware of the kind of impact the idea of democracy would have on this world Democracy was an unconventional idea that could rain more blood on this world than republicanisest national foundation in the world Milton had lived in However, this had not happened easily That sales and blood of countless people

It had takenlike de very hat it would require But, no ht about it, democracy was needed to calm the chaotic world and find balance within his country

He knew very well that there were flaith a de after living in an indefinitely competitive society in the previous life? But even so, Milton had memories of a world far more advanced than this one and as far as he knew, democracy was the best systeaely influenced by the disposition of a monarch Republicanism was too ideal What they called an equal world was virtually i that the i and har the public

In the end, Milton had decided to pull out the de that decision, Milton had been struggling, trying to decide when and hoould pull out that card… And so, he had taken the current crisis as an opportunity and pulled it out

The crohispered as they listened to hiain by doing this? Aren’t you just saying e people nodded as if it sounded reasonable However, Milton spoke to everyone around hiain would be the world that I dream of”

“Dream?”

“What do you…”

The people were confused For the people of this world, a drea their sleep But for Milton, a dream was a future that he hoped for, it was a wish, it was so that there was a difference in definition, Milton had used the word ‘dreaend that everyone knew on Earth He had used the word ‘dreaend was…

“Everyone, I have a dreareatest speeches in Earth’s history Personally, Milton didn’t think he was a notable person However, it was still possible for hireat man from a different world In his previous life, Milton had watched the video of the speech over and over and had been impressed each time He hoped he would be able to convey just a hundredth of the emotions he had received when he watched that video

“I have a dream It is a dream that there will be a world where we all truly accept the truth that all humans are born equal”

The crowd becaht of the words was too much to just say it was empty words

“I have a dream It is a dream that one day, the children of nobles and the children of coether and be friends”

Their hearts were beating Why the hell was it beating? They didn’t know the reason but Milton’s words had power Not only the listeners, but Milton himself seemed to be drunk on the power of his words as he walked into the crowd The crowd had stepped out of the way each time Milton stepped forward, but soon, Milton’s path of retreat disappeared Originally, Milton had thought to ride Leonard and retreat at any tis became out of control, but he had blocked off his own path of retreat and entered the crowd In the reat waves

“I have a dream It is a dreadolasses instead of swords”

Tears flowed down Milton’s eyes This was definitely an act No, Milton had coinally he had felt a bit guilty for copying such a great speech and he had wondered whether he could do it justice But as he spoke, Milton realized he was hoping for it to beco from his heart

“I have a dream It is a dream that someday, a day will come where our children can live freely in a world in which they are evaluated not by their blood or status, but by their personality”

He raised his voice

“This is ether With this conviction, ill be able to cut down the mountain of despair and create a stone of hope We ether for our united beliefs”

The moment Milton said this…

Clap…clap clap…

Who started it? Once one person started it, two people, ten people, then 100 people applauded It beca and weeping The crowd that had been full of anger and hted by Milton’s speech
