Chapter five hundred and sixty-six who wins to help who
Li Xiaofeng looked at the last picture transmitted by the satellite on his tablet.
The fire soared into the sky and enveloped the entire station.
His teeth couldn't help but chatter.
Anger and shame surged into my heart at the same time!
A certain emotion that had been hidden in the body for a long time suddenly exploded!
"How dare you?"
"How dare you!"
"This is killing the chicken and frightening the monkey!"
"Treat me like a chicken!?"
Seriously - it's intolerable!
However, this humiliation comes and goes even faster!
Because he must face reality!
Although, Li Xiaofeng was unwilling to admit it anyway.
But the reality is that in the era of Li Xiaofeng's rise, the ancient Central Plains country, which was still impoverished, seized the last opportunity and entered industrialization before the era of ghosts.
Today, it has grown into the second largest economy in Blue Star after Citigroup.
In terms of industrial scale, Blue Star actually ranked first more than ten years ago!
People in that country seemed not to participate in the construction of the private security economy in the demon era at all.
Instead, they devote themselves wholeheartedly to the established industrialization process.
From the ninth Blue Star before the demon era, it has rapidly grown into the first industrial producer of Blue Star today.
A large number of industrial products go from factories to the world.
It also allowed its industrial level to quickly rise to the top of Blue Star!
By now, they have caught up with almost all of Blue Star's advanced technologies.
And they have gone all out to build a powerful modern army to protect these wealth, technologies, and products!
Today, demons are rampant, leading to a global wave of deindustrialization.
There is probably only one country left in the entire world that has a complete system for all industrial categories.
Anything can be produced!
Anything can be made!
Except for a few areas where it is still subject to others, it has caught up with or even surpassed others in other areas.
Even Citigroup is wary of facing such a country!
They may not be able to project power into the ocean.
But at home, it can only be described as Godzilla!
The powerful industrial power makes it as easy to produce everything as it is to produce consumer goods.
Including those modern high-tech weapons!
As a result, they built warships faster than most countries built civilian ships!
The total tonnage of a developed country’s navy is launched in one year!
In just a few years, the wind power farm that took Citi and Rakshasa more than ten years to build was built deep in the desert.
Li Xiaofeng had seen satellite pictures.
When the manhole covers on those farms are opened, the truth inside is chilling!
On the contrary, after the era of monsters, the production efficiency of other major industrial countries has plummeted.
Take the factory of Lee Hyo-bong's Seven Star Consortium as an example.
Because they need to produce memory and chips, the requirements for these factories are very high.
However, in the era of demons and ghosts, the biggest feature is that demons and ghosts will be born randomly.
No one knows when a few monsters appeared in their factory, and then they slowly spread and multiplied into hundreds or thousands.
So, the factory had no choice but to shut down!
Panicked workers, in fear, will vote with their feet.
After all, it is a demon!
Even low-level monsters can hardly pose a fatal threat to healthy adults!
However, demons are demons after all!
They will suck people's essence, make them tired, lethargic, hallucinations and even mental disorders, and cause irreversible damage to the brain.
Even if you react in time, you can quickly clear away the monsters.
But ordinary workers have been hurt.
Even if the demon was controlled in time before it broke out.
However, the shutdown of the factory is inevitable!
What's more, demons and ghosts will not always be low-level C-level or D-level.
They will evolve! They will grow!
As long as there is enough blood food, it is inevitable that a high-level monster will appear among a group of low-level monsters.
Once a demon reaches level B, it can pose a fatal threat to ordinary people!
Once a B-level demon appears in a factory, it is not discovered by martial arts masters.
Within a few days, all the workers in the factory will be eaten clean by it!
And this monster will grow into a threat to the entire city - an A-level or even S-level terrifying existence!
At that time, there was no other option except sending out the army to clear the land.
Of course, these scenes occurred at the beginning of the era of ghosts.
Now, all countries have countermeasures.
Major factories and industrial areas are directly classified into the maximum security zone.
Private security companies undertake local security protection at the highest prices.
Although this increased the cost and burden, it effectively controlled the spread of demons and ghosts.
However……
Workers need to go home.
It is impossible for most workers to live in high-end residential areas with high prices.
Most of them live in mid-range communities with some basic safety protection.
Most of them live in ordinary communities with low security protection, or even in suburbs and slums without security protection.
As a result, many workers went to and from work, only to find that there were fewer familiar colleagues when they turned around.
After asking around, I found out that he had suffered a mental disorder and was hospitalized or had committed suicide.
Everyone said oh and continued working.
They know that those colleagues will never return to work, even if they are hospitalized.
Even if a mentally disturbed person returns to normal, the impact will be permanent!
Reduced flexibility of hands and feet, slow reaction, blunted thinking...
The existence of these factors means that they will never get the opportunity to be hired!
Even if they don't actually have these side effects.
However, capital does not believe in tears!
If he is recruited but cannot work normally, he will have to pay a sum of money if he is fired.
Who can you argue with?
However, new skilled workers need to be retrained.
Production efficiency is naturally greatly affected!
The most terrible thing is that this cycle has been repeated over the past two decades.
So much so that today, except for resources, all countries abroad are running deficits.
Stability can only be maintained by printing unlimited money and buying bonds.
Japan’s debt now exceeds 500 times its GDP!
Silla has almost reached a hundred times!
That’s pretty good!
Many small and poor countries collapsed directly!
In the era of demons and ghosts, there were only two countries on Blue Star that continued to benefit.
One is Citigroup, which relies on its hegemony and blood-sucking Blue Star and also relies on the private security economy to make a fortune. At the same time, it continues to attract immigrants and capital from around the world to supplement the country.
The other one is Central China.
So much so that all countries have understood it in their hearts.
In this era of demons and ghosts, Blue Star has actually entered an era of dual governance.
However, the dual system has been the most unstable since ancient times.
As the strength goes up and down, I'm afraid there will be a battle sooner or later!
In fact, if it were not for nuclear suppression.
I'm afraid, the new power has already challenged the old overlord!
Citigroup's hegemony can last for one year or ten years.
But can it last for a hundred years?
Li Xiaofeng thought of this and took a deep breath.
He watched the video on the tablet again.
A swarm of drones in the dark night forms a team to attack.
When the panicked martial artists picked up their rifles, machine guns and cannons and began to intercept.
The disaster is officially underway!
Under the guidance of the drone, dozens of tail flames rose in the darkness.
The small station was subsequently shattered into pieces in flames and explosions.
"It's not just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!"
"Still showing determination and confidence!"
"It seems that after the appearance of the 'immortal', the confidence and determination of the Central Plains people have increased again!"
"They would never have used their power so nakedly outside the country before!"
"This is not a good sign!"
Silla is right at the doorstep of the Central Plains.
Just within the coverage range of the Central Plains' long-range rocket launchers and electronic fighter jets.
Once the war breaks out, Silla, as the frontline, will only play a role in Citi's chessboard, which is to attract and consume ammunition from the Central Plains.
Just like Japan's role is to attract as many missiles as possible.
In the past, the Tang people in the Central Plains would cover up and conceal their ambitions as much as possible.
They will give in, compromise, hide their edge, and avoid stimulation.
At that time, Li Xiaofeng's best choice was of course to hug Citigroup tightly.
However……
Now, they are becoming more confident and no longer hiding.
This made Lee Hyo Bong's DNA start to move.
"A man can bend and stretch!" He slowly sat down and his expression became calm.
"For Silla, for the Seven Stars Conglomerate... it is nothing for me to suffer some personal grievances!" He said righteously.
so……
Li Xiaofeng raised his head.
People in the Central Plains say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is what the wise do.
Silla has a tradition of "big things" with a history of more than a thousand years.
Whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Northern Tang Dynasty or Dashun.
Silla was all very respectful, regarded it as a superior state, and sent envoys to pay tribute. They were very respectful.
Later, Dashun collapsed, the world was divided, foreign ships came to the west, and warlords fought.
Silla was forced by the Japanese army, so it immediately changed its family and became an obedient Japanese citizen.
Wait until Citigroup sweeps across the world and finally decides on Blue Star.
The people of Xinluo immediately threw themselves under the Citi tent, thinking that the cows and horses were gone.
To sum up, the history of Silla can be summed up in four words: Whoever wins helps whom!
In other words: Whoever is stronger is the father!
"Perhaps I should consider showing kindness to them through a third party?"
"I heard that the daughter of Mr. Kaka is currently studying in the Central Plains... and has a boyfriend from the Central Plains... Maybe I can pass this line... and so on..."
Li Xiaofeng took a breath: "Kaka, you are worthy of being Kaka!"
"You actually prepared your retreat way earlier than I did!"
If Li Xiaofeng remembers correctly the daughter of the current Silla Kaka, she should have gone to study in the Central Plains when she was twelve years old.
At that time, Kaka was still just a member of parliament, right?
So scheming!
No wonder he can become Kaka!
With this in mind, Li Xiaofeng planned to call Kaka.
As a result, before he could pick up the phone, the phone rang.
The caller was a close confidant of his and the person in charge of the Seven Star Consortium in Cochin.
"President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cochin just summoned me to strongly protest that our subordinates did not abide by Cochin's laws and regulations and seriously violated Cochin's sovereignty..."
"For this reason, they have revoked our legal qualification to hold weapons in Cochin, and asked us to immediately give a reasonable explanation and immediately withdraw all illegal personnel!"
"Otherwise, Jiaozhi will not rule out applying for assistance from the northern powers!"
Li Xiaofeng listened and swallowed.
Jiaozhi has always claimed to be neutral, and has always boasted that it "does not help each other" and "does not take sides."
But now it seems...
Their stance is very firm!
Apparently he has quietly taken sides!
Of course, you can't blame them.
The total import and export trade volume of Cochin last year was around 500 billion U.S. dollars.
However, the raw materials, parts and products imported from the Central Plains amounted to more than 240 billion knives!
As a result, the annual deficit exceeded 30 billion U.S. dollars!
Anyone who understands economics knows what this means?
Jiaozhi is taken care of!
Eat people with soft lips and take people with soft hands.
Upper decision decided by the economic background!
The people of Jiaozhi dare not and cannot ignore important issues and lean towards the Central Plains!
As the Mexicans say: Paradise is too far and the flag is too close!
Li Xiaofeng expressed his gratitude quietly and said to his subordinates: "You try your best to negotiate with the Jiaozhi people..."
“We are willing to increase investment in Cochin!”
"At the same time, we can guarantee that we will never undermine Jiaozhi's neutral position in the future!"
"Um……"
"Go ahead and try your best!"
After saying that, Li Xiaofeng hung up the phone.
He walked around for a few steps, then dialed Kru Yin's phone number and reported the matter exactly as it was.
Of course, he would never say what he was thinking.
In front of Citi people, at least for now, he is still Citi's most loyal lackey and shopkeeper.
Unless Citigroup's failure is a foregone conclusion, he will not jump back!
Of course, what happens in private depends on how the situation develops.
