Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 343 It's okay, we can bomb it one more time.

While the six ministers were causing a ruckus on Earth, Luo Congmin's personal guards had thoroughly investigated and exposed the mess left by the Earth Federation over the years.

Corruption, arms smuggling, oppression of the people, and arbitrary changes to the system.

It can be said that the current Earth Alliance is like a leaky, dilapidated ship, completely rotten inside and out.

Even though Luo Congmin was mentally prepared, she was still furious when she saw the inhuman things that the middle-level officials did.

"Damn corrupt officials, they're all a bunch of damn corrupt officials!"

Luo Congmin overturned the file shelf in front of him, scattering various old files all over the floor.

She was well aware that all six departments had serious problems, so she had no expectations of this group of people at all.

Liu Yiwu from the Finance Department was merely a bait she used to lure the fish out of its hole. Now that the fish had taken the bait, she naturally couldn't let him live. After having Zhang Xiang deal with Liu Yiwu, she abruptly switched gears and went to the Ministry of Education.

As one of the six ministries, the Ministry of Education can be considered Luo Congmin's kinsman.

She rose to her current position step by step from the position of Minister of Education. Although her old colleagues from back then are no longer around, Luo Congmin still trusts the Ministry of Education.

At least in her view, the Ministry of Education was one of her own people among the six ministries. Her orders might be disobeyed by others, but the Ministry of Education would definitely not deviate too much.

But when she stormed into the Ministry of Education with Zhang Xiang and her personal guards, she was completely enraged.

"What? The entire Ministry of Education has fewer than a hundred staff members on duty?"

"What a joke!"

When Luo Congmin heard Zhang Xiang's report, she felt a wave of dizziness. A word she dared not even think about appeared in her mind.

Empty registration!

That's right, the Ministry of Education, which is the head of the six departments of the Earth Alliance and oversees the education of the sixteen planets in the two regions, has four-fifths of its staff positions that are actually empty.

The entire Ministry of Education, from top to bottom, including cleaning staff, only has about a hundred people, but according to the accounts, their actual staffing is four or five hundred!

"Where did the rest of them go?!"

Luo Congmin suppressed her urge to go on a killing spree. Perhaps it was because she had been spending too much time with Lin Xuan, but her first thought about these corrupt officials was to fight violence with violence!

However, the deeper she investigated, the more shocking things she found.

At the end of the Deterrence Era, in order to adapt to the needs of human civilization's development after leaving the solar system, Luo Congmin personally promulgated an education law.

The general idea is that various majors can lower their academic requirements for candidates and instead change their exam content to open-ended questions, conducting a dual-track assessment process with regular candidates.

This policy can be considered a pilot program for a dual-track system. After all, what Rediaz said makes sense. The college entrance examination is indeed useful as a selection mechanism, but it is not the most perfect training mechanism.

The most reasonable and optimal solution is to pursue both elite education and holistic education in parallel.

However, many policies, while having one meaning at the top, become distorted when implemented by the middle management.

The biggest problem with this kind of exam is who sets the open-ended questions. Luo Congmin anticipated that someone would bribe the examiners, so he set the rank of the question setters to be very high.

In this way, the middle class has no access to such important figures, while the elite class doesn't care much for such things, since they can still study abroad through the Star Ring Group.

The way to make the college entrance examination relatively fair is not to eliminate the powerful and wealthy, but to give them an easier way to get into university than through the college entrance examination.

As long as they look down on the college entrance examination, it will naturally be fair. As for whether it is unfair to students who have studied hard for years, it can only be said that there is never a perfect policy in the world.

The most despicable people are those who only criticize policies without offering effective solutions.

You can't kill all the powerful and wealthy; even if you kill one batch, another will come. Rather than letting them squeeze out the upward mobility opportunities of ordinary people, it's better to give them a separate track to play on their own.

After all, if even the powerful and wealthy don't value this piece of paper anymore, then it's meaningless for ordinary people to study hard and pass the exam. Education not only loses its screening function, but also leads to a massive loss of educational resources because it's useless.

But even after making such concessions, an unexpected incident still occurred.

Luo Congmin's idea was: let the rich bribe the examiners and buy a university diploma for fun, while ordinary people should take the exam if they want.

The education officials from the local federation heard that anyone who didn't pay for a diploma was just wasting their time taking the exam.

Then an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded: these local officials, in order to rake in money for themselves, began to extend their reach into the college entrance examination selection mechanism, attempting to transform what was originally an exception into a common phenomenon.

This was something Luo Congmin could not tolerate, which is why she was so angry when she reviewed the case files and discovered what these people had done over the years.

"Zhang Xiang".

"exist!"

"Arrest them! Don't let a single one of them escape!"

For a time, undercurrents surged throughout the entire Earth Alliance. Zhang Xiang had been working as a nanny for Luo Congmin's family for years, but he hadn't been idle. The spies he had secretly planted were spread across almost every planet and space station in the solar system.

It is said that it surpasses even the Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, there is a question here: Zhang Xiang was actually fully aware of what these officials were doing.

But he never told Luo Congmin, partly because he was afraid of distracting the president.

The primary task of the Lin Party in recent years has been to build a global ring.

This was a direct order from Lin Xuan; nothing could be done in exchange for violating this mission. So Zhang Xiang actually knew everything, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid that Luo Congmin would be distracted by the political infighting within the Earth Alliance.

He raised Luo Congmin himself, and he knew this little girl very well.

She lacked Wade's decisiveness, her father Luo Ji's foresight, and her brother Lin Xuan's ruthlessness.

The only thing she can be called good at is her control over people's hearts.

Zhang Xiang didn't say anything, and Luo Congmin knew why he wouldn't, but both of them tacitly put the matter out of their minds for the time being.

Now that the third phase of the Ring World project is complete, and leaving this place is just a matter of days, Zhang Xiang naturally has no need to hide it anymore.

Therefore, everything unfolded naturally.

AiAA has rebelled, the Earth Alliance has split, and the opportunity that Luo Congmin has been waiting for for hundreds of years is finally about to arrive.

……

Mechanical Earth: Space Station.

Lin Xuan slowly walked down the elevator.

By this time, the members of Squad Thirteen had been waiting here for quite some time.

Besides them, Starfire's Simothers is also in the team.

"Team Leader Bai, the matter has been... taken care of."

The little girl, Su Zilin, carried a sniper rifle that was taller than her, and spoke with a slight stutter.

After all, she really didn't know whether the matter was handled well or badly.

The original plan was for Lin Xuan to suspend the aircraft carrier's operations, giving Mechanical Earth a small deterrent.

But now things have clearly gone too far. The aircraft carrier has been bombed, and the top brass of the entire Mechanical Earth will probably be going crazy trying to find the culprit.

Now that Lin Xuan has taken the initiative to admit it, it's estimated that regardless of whether it's true or not, the higher-ups at Mechanical Earth will point the finger at him.

"well done."

Lin Xuan smiled.

"Simonses, have you made the reservation for the place I asked you to book?"

Himothers nodded upon hearing this.

"It's all sorted out, but... Captain White, if I may be so bold, you've gone too far this time. I'm afraid not many people from the Spark Organization will come."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.

At this moment, screens throughout the city were broadcasting Lin Xuan's declaration of her plan to blow up the aircraft carrier Lord Avent that night.

Many people dismiss this, after all, in their view, it's like an ant standing on an elephant's carcass and claiming that it killed the elephant.

The HMS Lord Avent did indeed experience a sudden explosion today, but everyone is speculating that it is related to the Mind Earth, and no one would associate it with an underground party organization.

In their eyes, Xinghuo was still just a group of idealistic social idlers.

Lin Xuan smiled.

"It's okay, we can blow it up again."
