Chapter 496: Vicious foreign investment and ideological conflict.
The afterglow of the sun shines on the runway of LaGuardia Airport, and a plane slowly taxis to the parking space.
At this busy moment, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes holding a silver cane walked on the air bridge of the plane with a dog with white fur and red eyes and a cat with gray fur and green eyes. Come down.
Their figures reflected long shadows in the glass windows of the sky bridge, forming a sharp contrast with the hurried passengers.
Xia Xiu gently held his pets and walked across the bridge step by step. The pets seemed to be full of curiosity about the new environment around them, especially Jiam, who shook his tail excitedly and paused from time to time. He came down to take a look, sometimes following Xia Xiu's steps closely.
At the end of the sky bridge is the entrance to the terminal, where light pours in from the high ceiling, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Through the terminal, you are surrounded by busy passengers and the sounds of various ethnic languages.
Well, it’s literally every ethnic language.
In front of him, a scene was vividly playing out at this moment, where money can make the devil grind.
The red-skinned devils with horns on their heads and tails on their backs were wearing black suits, holding signs, and eloquently pleasing the women beside them; they were a group of people over three meters tall. , bloated female giants with only one eye. These female giants wear modern clothes that are extremely inconsistent with their style of painting. Their exposed navels are covered with dirt, and their modern clothes are enduring the stains on their masters' breasts. The humiliation of rippling layers of fat.
The young demon had a sincere smile on his face, and kept saying all kinds of sweet compliments to the giantess; the female giants were very happy, and from time to time they stretched out their boogers that were stained with green mucus (just picked out their noses). ) pinched the demon's butt, then took out a wad of cash from his chest and threw it in the demon's face.
At this time, the smile on the demon's face will become even brighter.
Xia Xiu just looked at it for a while and felt it hurt his eyes. He pressed the black top hat on his head, and then applied the [Presence Weakening] Mimusu on his body and Beside your own familiar.
Then he continued to walk forward, while his golden eyes looked at Edici Feng from time to time.
Inside this unique airport, the boundary between reality and fantasy seems to be easily erased.
There is an absurd but realistic atmosphere in the air. All kinds of weird alien races and familiars shuttle and communicate here, forming a unique world.
In the spacious hall, there are not only human travelers coming and going, but also a variety of fantasy creatures. They sit, stand, or walk slowly, and they all look strange and weird.
A group of bullywugs are sitting on the benches in the waiting area. Their skin is bright green, their eyes are big and protruding, and they make excited croaking sounds from time to time. They seemed a little restless and jumped to change seats from time to time, making the surrounding passengers look at them with side eyes.
Near the boarding gate, a group of centaurs wearing original-style clothes were waiting patiently in line. Their horses are strong and toned, and their bodies are dressed in clothing made of various animal furs, showing a wild beauty. He held a map of the old world in his hand, occasionally lowering his head to study it, then raising his head and looking around, as if thinking about the upcoming journey.
At an inconspicuous corner, a bugbear wearing airport ground staff clothes was busy directing the direction of the luggage cart.
In a corner of the airport, an elf dragon was selling specialties in front of its stall.
It is small in size, covered with delicate scales, and its color changes with the change of light.
The intelligent eyes and clever claws are displaying various rare goods, from gems that sparkle with magical light to herbs that can awaken ancient memories, attracting many curious eyes.
The fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven stopped to watch, his eyes shuttled between the rushing crowds and alien races, observing the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this unique world.
Dong——
The silver cane he held in his hand tapped the ground inadvertently, making a crisp and sweet sound, which seemed to be making some kind of announcement for his arrival.
“It’s really prosperous.”
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven said as he looked at the alien races on the ground.
When he said these words, there was some invisible terror rippling in the air like waves.
At that moment, time in the airport seemed to slow down, and all sounds were swallowed up by this invisible wave.
All the aliens present - whether they were bullywugs who were busy with their own affairs, elf dragons selling specialties, or bugbears walking among the crowds - all felt an indescribable tremor, which was a source of energy. A shiver from the depths of my soul.
They looked around subconsciously, trying to find the source of this feeling, but there was nothing. Everything seemed so normal, nothing unusual.
However, the feeling that frightened them was so real, as if some invisible force touched their souls at that moment, making them feel uneasy like never before.
Many people took out their [debit cards], but there was nothing unusual on the card. They confirmed it several times, but they were still worried, so they each stepped up and left the place in a hurry. Xia Xiu, the culprit, has also left the terminal and arrived at the arrivals level outside the terminal.
He took a dog and a cat to the outside road, where there were obvious signs indicating the "passenger pick-up and drop-off area."
Not long after arriving at the airport, he had already sent a message to the people at the administration asking them to pick him up.
“Now I understand a little bit why those right-wingers in heaven are always blocked by Eden regarding the administrative orders and plans of the Edici Federation. Just at the airport level, many angels with more traditional views I won’t be able to bear it.”
While waiting, Xia Xiu chatted with [Adam] in his mind.
[Most angels will abide by the instructions of the resolution meeting and the relevant policies promulgated by Eden. Even if they psychologically reject foreign races, they will abide by the relevant regulations——]
"This is not what Eden and the Resolution Assembly are afraid of. What they are afraid of is the corruption of the Four Monarchs and Chaos. At the airport just now, as long as [Blood God Kahn] blows some black anger, the lower-level angels will definitely tolerate it. They started killing each other, and with the security there, everyone from the [Lord] down would die."
Xia Xiu played with the silver cane in his hand and continued, "This is a sunken area, the city of the new world. The junction is now connected to all realms in the world. If you dig deeper, you will find that the four monarchs are the big capital of the New World City and the junction. There are so many alien races here on the surface, and the chaotic ones who are playing tricks behind the scenes. There must be more believers. Most of the angels in heaven will become their eyesores and targets.” >
[Adam] took over the topic from the boss in a timely manner, and at the same time used his relevant responsibilities as the think tank of the administration to explain the topic to the boss who had just taken office.
[Currently, the Edici Federation has completely entered a semi-normal and semi-different stage. 25 of the 50 states in the federation have declared that they have entered alienation, and an alien structure called the Iron Dome has been completed in the sky above them. In these 25 states, all non-human races only need to hold a symbol that symbolizes permanent residence. With a federal green card and a work identity document, you can enjoy many rights and benefits similar to those of Edici citizens, including freedom to work and live in Edici, participate in social welfare programs, apply for higher education in the Edici federal country, etc.
However, green card holders do not have the rights of Edici citizens, such as being unable to vote and hold certain government positions. Moreover, green card holders cannot travel to the other 25 states outside the Iron Dome. If anyone is found to have crossed the Iron Dome, the federal government will send out a lethal Meme Touch to warn them. If you want to go to the Normal State, you must wear a Mi Mu coat to disguise yourself, and you are prohibited from using any extraordinary abilities and many other restrictions. ]
“The so-called semi-normal and semi-alien stage itself is the destruction of the veil system. When the existence of the extraordinary is recognized, the veil has been broken. The Edici Federation proposed this stage, which is itself a kind of
But we have no other way to deal with it properly at this stage. The situation in Terra is like a powder keg. God knows when the eighth supernatural world war will start.”
Xia Xiu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. Now everyone has a premonition that a supernatural war affecting all of Terra will break out at the end of this century or the beginning of the new century.
The current Edici Federation is just one of the most likely triggers for war.
"What do the other 25 states outside the Iron Dome think of the state that suddenly entered the abnormal state? How does the federation publicize it?" Xia Xiu then asked curiously.
[The Edici Federation has proposed a mobility plan to solve the current federal conflict: declare the existence of extraordinary beings in normal states, promulgate extraordinary bans in abnormal states, and allow citizens of the two to move. Citizens of the normal state will receive basic extraordinary cognitive education, while citizens of the abnormal state will sign relevant forbidden projects. Both are coordinated by the Mayflower Foundation. ]
“It’s really a weird political structure. One foot is in abnormality and the other is in normality. Isn’t this just nonsense? They don’t feel panicked.”< br>
[It has been less than a full year since the fall of the Edici Federation. According to the central containment room, this situation is just a transitional period for full-scale abnormalization. This transitional period will take 3 to 5 years; and Affected by Edici, the curtain system of the Youyang Alliance has also been greatly impacted. According to Eden's estimation, the curtain system is already in a stage of complete fragmentation. It is expected that within five years, the curtain system will be completely destroyed due to various huge impacts. collapse. ]
Five-year plan, the curtain is broken...
If the curtain is really broken, then war is probably not far away. Xia Xiu squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
"What restrictions are currently imposed on the Kingdom of Heaven in the Edici Federation, or in all realms?" He put away his inner thoughts and continued to ask [Adam].
[Currently, the Edici Federation has relaxed its control over [Financial Street]. Now [Financial Street] determines foreign relations, so national organizations outside the Edici Federation are characterized as benign. Foreign investment and malignant foreign investment.
Good foreign investment refers to foreign investment that has a positive role in promoting the economic and social development of Edici, and may bring benefits such as technology transfer, innovation, increased employment opportunities, increased production efficiency, and intensified market competition. Good foreign investment usually complies with legal regulations, operates in compliance with business ethics, and plays a positive role in promoting the development of Edici.
Malignant foreign investment refers to foreign investment that has a negative impact on the economy and society of Edici, which may lead to resource plunder, environmental pollution, social instability, economic dependence and other problems. Malignant foreign investment may be in the form of illegal activities, corrupt practices, exploitative investments, etc., which has caused damage and adverse effects to Edici's economy and society. ]
[Adam] quickly searched for various new legal provisions of the Edici Federation.
[Foreign investment entering the Edici Federation needs to comply with the laws and regulations of the country's regulatory agencies, including registration, licensing and regulatory requirements. This requires extensive registration procedures, capital requirements, business scope restrictions, etc.
There are restrictions or prohibitions on investment in specific industries. For example, strategic industries such as national defense and energy have restrictions on foreign investment; and all foreign investment must go through the approval process of government departments, including investment project approval, foreign exchange management approval, etc.; a certain Some regions or specific areas may have restrictions or preferential policies on foreign investment, and you need to meet the corresponding conditions before you can invest; cross-border capital flows and exchange rate risk management need to comply with the country's foreign exchange management regulations...]
[According to In Edici’s latest announcement of the investigation into the Kingdom of Heaven, they believe that Kingdom of Heaven is the largest malignant foreign capital, and the entry of the angels of Heaven will have a huge impact and damage on the Edici Federation and all other worlds——]
“ Look at what they said, are we being labeled as malignant foreign investors, so we can’t come to the Edici Federation to do ‘business’?”
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven muttered dissatisfied with the actions of the Edici Federation.
Although what they said was true, the angels didn’t like to hear it.
[So Edisi characterizes the inflow of heaven as: the forced entry of vicious foreign capital into the market——]
[78% of the topics discussed by relevant members of the current federal government every day The relevant contents all discuss how to eliminate malignant capital and how to further strengthen the actions to restrict the kingdom of heaven.
An additional piece of news: The fourth sword-bearer from the Kingdom of Heaven stationed in the Edici Federation has caused great dissatisfaction and panic in Edici. A hundred kilometers away from you, two Thousands of green card holders are demonstrating, asking the federal government to deport you; many believers in the Kingdom of God in the Golden Court seem to be quite disgusted with you. They think that you and the ideology of the Kingdom of Heaven are different from the ideology of the Golden Court. There are irreconcilable contradictions.
Therefore, you have now been characterized as the biggest malignant influence of financial development. ]
“So I’m so ‘popular’ now.”
Hearing [Adam]’s statement, the blond young man said while rubbing his chin.
[…………]
[Adam] didn’t know how to answer this sentence for a while.
Will anyone really welcome Tai Sui?
