Zhou Shuli continued: "When the Twilight War is about to come, the country that dominates North America has turned from prosperity to decline. It is in internal chaos and all kinds of contradictions are very sharp.

"The people are alienated from morality and have lost their cohesion for a long time. There are only a few people who are willing to fight to the death for the country. There are hundreds of thousands of troops, but they have not been able to annihilate the Sky Ant Group with a thunderbolt."

Zhao Ning frowned. In this country, he listened to generals. Mo Xie said that at that time, the opponent was a negative example and the opponent of the revolutionary war.

However, in Gan Jiang and Mo Xie's narration, this country, which everyone calls the beautiful country, is a very powerful existence and a well-deserved world hegemon.

But in Zhou Shuli's words, it became the first regime in the world to be overthrown in the Twilight War. There must be a process involved.

Zhao Ning has to learn from the past and learn from the future: "In the thirty years before the Twilight War, how did the beautiful country turn from prosperity to decline, and what were the landmark events?"

Zhou Shuli did not expect that Zhao Ning would ask so carefully, and briefly recalled: "There is only one fundamental reason, and that is the indulgence of capitalists' oppression of ordinary people, which has led to increasingly acute class conflicts.

“In order to cover up this truth and prevent the common people from uniting to overthrow them, the capitalists in the beautiful country use the media they control to guide public opinion, divert attention, intensify racial conflicts, national conflicts, and gender conflicts, causing the common people to fall into internal divisions.

Self-opposition cannot be twisted into a rope."

Zhao Ning still couldn't fully understand: "As the world's most powerful country, education must be good. Don't the people of beautiful countries realize this?"

Zhou Shuli sighed, "Mr. Zhao underestimated the capitalists. Their control over the world is in every aspect, and the values ​​they promote of consumption first and money first have long made the people regard them as national heroes and the mainstay of society."

"In short, the fact is that black people think that the injustice they suffer comes from white people, and women think that the injustice they suffer comes from men. Most people simply do not realize that all injustices actually come from the oppression of the capitalists and the privileged class.

"

Zhao Ning understood the reason for the matter.

The people have been brainwashed by the values ​​promoted by the capitalists, their thoughts are completely controlled and enslaved, and they have become people without independent and profound thoughts, and naturally they have lost their ability to resist.

After the role of morality and morality in society is greatly weakened, real heroes will no longer be able to emerge.

Such a country is just a piece of loose sand.

No matter how prosperous it is, it is just window paper that can be broken if you poke it.

"There are several symbolic events that marked the beautiful country's transition from prosperity to decline."

Zhou Shuli briefly reviewed history, "First, class conflicts and racial conflicts caused social unrest, which eventually broke out during the presidential election and evolved into large and small riots, with beacon smoke rising everywhere.

;

"Secondly, in order to increase the fertility rate and ensure that there are enough people for their own exploitation, the capitalists used the state machinery to first implement the "Anti-Abortion Act", then the "Anti-Contraception Act", and finally they were planning to implement the "Forced Childbirth"

bill".

“These bills violate the founding spirit of democracy and freedom and trigger a crisis of faith among the people;

“Thirdly, in the global trade war and regional wars, the beautiful country has failed in its struggle, the domestic crisis has further deepened, criminal acts have become uncontrollable, demonstrations, street fighting, and indiscriminate killing of innocent people have continued, and the country has fallen into chaos;

"Fourth, states became independent one after another, and the country was completely divided. When the Twilight War broke out, there were only thirty states under the central government of the beautiful country. Putting aside the name, the actual control of the country was only about twenty states.

"

Zhao Ning finally figured out what was going on in this country.

Originally, all domestic conflicts were caused by capitalists, but in the end they did not bear any consequences, and instead allowed the country to develop step by step in the direction they wanted to see.

Various contradictions have caused states to become independent one after another. People think that without the central government that implements anti-abortion bills and other unconstitutional bills, they will no longer have their freedoms restricted.

As everyone knows, without the constraints of the central government, the capitalists can control the states more easily and independently.

When the country was in crisis, they did not think about how to reverse the situation and suppressed the capitalists through a unified and powerful state machine. They thought that everything would be fine by dividing the country. As a result, they were divided and conquered by the capitalists and completely took over local power.

How can such a country and its people win a war?

At this point, Zhao Ning can fully understand the follow-up situation of the Twilight War: "The Sky Ant Group has extraordinary strength, and then united with other capitalists to fight against the central government, and finally won the Twilight War."

Zhou Shuli nodded sadly: "To put it simply, that's it.

“When the beautiful country was founded, in order to gain public support, the constitution contained many provisions to safeguard public interests. These have become obstacles for capitalists to exploit the people.

"Suddenly overturning all these provisions will only make the people react, so they choose to overthrow the state power. Without those who implement the constitution, the constitution will naturally not exist.

"Today, the cities in the Northern Continent are independent and self-governing. There is no central government system. This is how it came to be. This is their best era, and they can do whatever they want without restraint, so they call the battle at dusk the battle at dawn."

Zhao Ning was speechless for a moment.

The people of the beautiful country need to rely on this country, which was established by their ancestors in blood and fire, to defeat the capitalists and safeguard their survival interests as future generations. But by then, the country itself will be ugly, evil, and those who also oppress them cannot be used as

Relying on.

No one can be relied upon, no one can be trusted.

They are desperate.

Zhao Ning touched his chin and discovered a crucial question.

He looked at Zhou Shuli: "If there is no country in the Northern Continent alone, and there are still national governments in other continents that can integrate regional resources, then the fragmented forces of the Northern Continent will not be able to compete with each other at all, and will only

It was eaten away until even the dregs were left, and everything was lost.”

Zhou Shuli sighed: "That's exactly it.

"So, the Dusk War is not a battle that only takes place on any continent, but a total war that affects all continents!

"They have united!"

Zhao Ning was silent.

They have united.

Yes, they united to build a world that they wanted and that was most beneficial to them. However, the people who were oppressed by them, who suffered so much and lived like human beings, could not unite again.

While the conversation was going on, the armored vehicle arrived at its destination.

What caught Zhao Ning's eyes was an old-style compound. The houses were all low-rise single-family buildings. The trees were lush and the flowers were blooming well. It was very spacious inside and was about the size of a medium-sized community.

The sign at the gate reads "Spark City Comprehensive Command Headquarters".

The Resistance Army greeted Zhao Ning with a very high standard. Although there were no lights and colorful decorations, nor were there two rows of boys and girls waving small flags on both sides of the road and shouting "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome", the number one and two figures in the command headquarters

All present.

Zhao Ning got off the armored vehicle, and a group of people immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Zhou Shuli introduced Zhao Ning: "This is the commander-in-chief of the Resistance Army, Mr. Philip Smith."

The second-in-command of the Resistance Army is a thin man with blond curly hair. He is in his forties or fifties. His white shirt is casually tucked into his army green pants. He has an unkempt beard and smokes constantly. In addition, he has a thin and handsome figure.

Quite a bit of a slovenly poet's temperament.

"Isn't it great to have friends from far away?"

Philip did not shake hands with Zhao Ning, but gave him a cordial hug, "I hope Mr. Zhao can become our comrade and join hands with us to brave the world!"

"I hope so." Zhao Ning responded with a smile.

If there is anything else on this planet that Zhao Ning fully recognizes besides the Resistance Army, it is that the degree of integration of the world's nations is very high. He feels that this is a historical trend that no one can stop.

The number one figure in the Resistance Army, the People's Representative of the Resistors, is a man in his 40s, wearing casual clothes, with messy hair and red eyes. He looks like he has just woken up. He gives people a very easy-going feel.

It is no different from ordinary middle-aged people.

However, his eyes are different.

Zhao Ning couldn't think of words that could describe those eyes for a moment. He just felt that they were very bright, as bright as water, without dirt or stain, as bright as fearless and full of fighting spirit, as bright as the sun and moon, as clear as day and full of fighting spirit.

stars.

The number one figure in the Resistance Army is named Li Shengli.

"Representative Li usually sleeps during the day and works at night. Today, he woke up in the middle of his sleep to greet Mr. Zhao.

"When the guard called him just now, he got angry and lost his temper with the guard. Then he remembered that he had ordered the guard to call him, and he apologized to the guard for his bad attitude."

While Phillip was teasing Li Shengli, he explained to Zhao Ning why he looked like he hadn't slept well.

Li Shengli shook hands with Zhao Ning and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for our base that Mr. Zhao can come to Spark City. It is dinner time now, and Mr. Zhao must not have eaten yet. There is no bigger meal in the world. Let's go and eat and chat."

"

At the banquet, Zhao Ning got to know the other two core figures of the Resistance Army initially. Through observing them, he also learned about the "customs and customs" within the Resistance Army.

Neither Li Shengli nor Philippe have the airs and dignity of a high-ranking person. The adjective "approachable" doesn't suit them, because they don't regard themselves as high-ranking people.

Zhao Ning was born into a noble family and was the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty. Although the Revolutionary War had brought initial results to the dynasty's reform, many of the influences left over from thousands of years of cultural customs remained stubborn. Others were always cautious and respectful in front of him.

However, no matter how wise the officials of the Jin Dynasty were, they still regarded themselves as parent officials, rather than being completely equal to ordinary people. They always felt that they had paternal power.
