Chapter 690 New Opportunities (Part 1)
Lille's speech did not sound like a fugitive on the run, but like a very threatening monarch of a great country.
These words are completely useful——
The main reason is that his state is very convincing.
Even though Atlas has provided a large number of disabled people with prostheses that are almost indistinguishable from their original limbs and even have superior performance, for normal people, it is difficult to accept large-scale prosthetics. Somatization is still ostracized.
This kind of rejection still exists even in the cyberpunk world where prosthetics have been popular in the market for hundreds of years:
People don’t understand prosthetics, don’t understand brain-computer interfaces, and tremble in the shadow of conspiracy theories and wars. Normal people If not forced by life, I would not choose to replace my limbs.
As for those prosthetics that are truly proven to be good things, ordinary people don’t have the chance to choose them.
For ordinary people, a higher degree of prostheticization can only mean one thing: they are increasingly unable to control themselves.
"Iron Man" is not a weapon, but Lear himself. This hearing was open to the public. No one with a slightly normal mind would agree to force other people to become fully prosthetic. Transform humans into weapons.
Politicians hope to have powerful weapons, but smart politicians know that the power in their hands will gradually diminish with time and again willfulness, especially in such turbulent times.
Witnessing Roxon's atrocities, the truth about Tony Stark's death, and Leal's new attitude, people really realized that something was very wrong.
At the end of the hearing, Lille spoke alone with members of parliament from some important countries -
mainly on behalf of the Speaker.
[Speaker Schultz: Mr. Li, you brought us a big surprise, but if everything you showed is true, then we will face a very dangerous enemy. 】
[Speaker Schultz: This could drag us into a world war. 】
"Speaker, do you think that if the world's largest country falls into civil war and collapse, other regions will be spared? Now it is a world war, and it is also your opportunity."
The network collapsed completely, The financial system fell into a big collapse. Although the losses were real, the collapse was temporary.
The civil war in Berry Country is the absolute highlight: the value of the US dollar plummeted!
The foundation of world currency is based on strong military power and a trade network formed over time. The former has greatly reduced its deterrence with the outbreak of civil war, and the latter has also fallen apart with the outbreak of civil war.
Roxon will definitely use his already monopolized oil and his vast manufacturing industry to bind the U.S. dollar to help his allies stabilize their currency dominance, but their reckless and failed measures will further drive away the neutrals
From a realistic point of view, the dominance that violence can bring may be absolute on a small scale, but pure violence cannot build a modern society. No matter what the opponents say, the idea of building a new world purely by relying on violence only exists. in fantasy.
Lille transmitted the strategic deployment map in the communication channel:
“The alternative to fossil energy has been proven to be completely feasible in Africa, and the oil reserves used for raw material production in Africa are completely Enough."
"As long as we increase investment in Africa, we can produce enough goods to support half of the world and even the whole world. We don't need to rely on Roxon and its monopoly resources at all."< br>
"The Atlas Group and the African Union's troops will organize a counterattack in the short term. As long as we capture Africa, we can squeeze the military bases in the Middle East and North Africa. Once the trade routes are opened, knowledge, resources and manpower will be You got very good cooperation."
"All you have to do is give up. US dollar transactions will gradually invest euros in the development of this continent, supporting us to win this war.”
Speaker Schultz did not speak: Lier’s words seemed to mean that they did not need to send military support. , which was a bit unexpected and made it easier for the EU to accept Lille's proposal. [Speaker Schultz: It’s a good idea. I will reach a consensus with the parliament as soon as possible and discuss more details. 】
[Speaker Schulz: Finally, on behalf of the European Union, I welcome you, Mr. Li. 】
The communication was hung up, and Lear looked at Christopher beside him, who immediately came over to report the progress of the mission on the other end.
"Just now, President Barnes has arrived at Joint Base Andrews. Currently, about 32% of the military in the United States have expressed their willingness to accept command, and the remaining 24% and state governments have remained silent. 20% The army has lost contact, and the rest have been identified as enemies."
"Barnes is trying to contact the satellite, but the efficiency is not high. The military communication base station is still sending signals, but the coverage is relatively low."
"The space carrier and those fighters disappeared. It seems to be some kind of very advanced concealment system. Existing reconnaissance methods cannot detect the enemy, and the situation is somewhat passive."
After listening, Lille Nodding slightly: "As time goes by, we will only win."
Christopher hesitated when he heard this. He used to ask Lille questions a lot, but now, it seems that Lille's state has given him too much pressure
Although he has no intention of confronting Lille, this person The metal body is simply incompetent.
Lille took the initiative and said: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I have a question, in this way we will help the euro become the next dollar. And we."
He paused for a moment, then Christopher mustered up the courage to say: "We are a country, we should have our own currency, our own system, our own"
"Christopher." Lille's metallic voice interrupted him, "It's a good idea, but it's too superficial.
The role of currency is only to make circulation smoother and make society more efficient.
The positive effect of the financial system is to make the future no longer so abstract, by converting overdraft credit into currency visible to people, and making future expectations visible
But if we already have a plan for the future, We already have a future, why should we put the cart before the horse and pursue currency control?”
Christopher has studied in New York for a long time, and it can be seen that he has indeed spent a lot of effort and is very serious.
But currency is very important, but currency is just a tool.
Lille's words made him froze in place. He didn't fully understand the concept, but he felt that Lille's words made sense.
Liel continued: "However, concretizing the abstract future and concretizing the available resources is indeed conducive to human beings' understanding of social rules.
It's just that this is not the key, not now. .
The key now is that the enemy is very popular now, and the allies have no reason to be wary of us. Naturally, we have no reason to be wary of them at this stage.
Now, our core people don’t need money to understand what kind of future they want, so they don’t need to think about it for the time being.
Now, let me meet them before I start the next step. ”
