It should be said that the US government is very excited to have access to the magician of Kama Taj.
There is no way, the United States has been really miserable in the past few years. When Benjamin originally ran for president, his main focus was young and handsome. This was used to attract young voters.
In most people's minds, the phenomenon of gerontocracy is often associated with the Soviet Union. Everyone likes "Soviet jokes", especially jokes about Brezhnev's age, which indirectly criticizes the lifelong tenure of leading cadres in the Soviet Union. Interesting
Interestingly, U.S. President Ronald Reagan also liked Soviet jokes. He often interspersed Soviet jokes in his speeches.
On the one hand, it promotes the "superiority" of the American system, and on the other hand, it invigorates the atmosphere. President Reagan can joke like this because he believes that under the more "superior" American system, the phenomenon of gerontocracy will not appear. However, if he could witness American politics with his own eyes,
As he looks today, I believe he may not be so confident in telling Soviet jokes like that. The United States
The older generation of politicians were generally born just after World War II. At that time, American society was still relatively conservative, and the entire society was still in the struggle stage due to the pressure of the Cold War; country, responsibility and responsibility were imprinted in their minds as mainstream values. Young people
This generation includes Americans born after the civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, as the United States was already in the midst of the Cold War
They have gained an advantage in China and are about to establish global hegemony. They generally grew up in a pampered environment, leaving behind the mainstream values. Rights and enjoyment have become their new pursuits, and the good days are taken for granted by them.
Yes. Their dream is no longer to study hard and serve the country; it has become the pursuit of abstract personal freedom.
To give a few examples: After the epidemic, everything gradually returned to normal. People who once worked online began to return to the office, but young people in the United States were accustomed to working online during the epidemic, and believed that they had the right to continue to do so. If the employer does not allow it,
Some of them will choose to resign, which indirectly leads to
The recent "Great Resignation Movement" in the United States was launched. Young people in the United States do not like to participate in politics, but they are often dissatisfied with the policies of the older generation. At this time, they will often take to the streets to demonstrate, sometimes even causing violence.
(Many of the “zero dollar purchases” people ridicule on the Internet come from these activities).
The worst thing is that young people who have gained power also give people a feeling that they are not enterprising and do not learn or try to understand emerging and complex things. In terms of international relations, this is reflected in the fact that many American politicians do not try and do not want to understand China themselves.
The biggest structural opponent defined. In domestic affairs, it is reflected in hyping up issues that are most likely to cause confrontation, such as gender, abortion, guns, ethnicity, and race.
Contradictions are used to benefit themselves and sacrifice the interests of the country (also commonly known as stacking buffs by some netizens). They talk to themselves every day and expect everyone to agree with them. Once others express different opinions, they start to
They make hysterical nonsense, waiting for others to compromise. If they don't compromise, they will madly propagate that others are intolerant, irrational, and even anti-human.
They do not understand realist international politics or even the cruelty of the real world. They still think that everything they have is taken for granted and that others must satisfy them. In the author's own words, most of these politicians can not only engage in political performance art,
If you can't do anything else well, you won't and can't take responsibility for the troubles you cause.
Faced with such a young generation, it is obvious that the older generation of American politicians will not trust them to hand over decision-making power. The author believes that there are two options to change this situation: in-depth reform of the education system or a return to "elitism." Reform education
The system allows young Americans to better understand themselves and the world and no longer be flowers in the greenhouse. Or it uses elitism to hedge against the current populist movement and limit the possibility of populist politicians gaining the highest power.
In contrast, young people are also extremely fed up with gerontocracy. They believe that gerontocracy is too rigid and has become class-solidified! This prevents young people from seeing their future!
So more and more young people don't like politics at all and don't vote.
Benjamin was pushed out essentially because the political party wanted more young people to come out and vote.
It's a bit like the 'idol' industry, but there's no way around it, the presidential election is essentially a super show every four years. The brighter you are, the more votes you can attract.
So Benjamin's own qualities are very good.
A typical American handsome guy, tall and strong, tough and handsome, with a gorgeous resume and a very good reputation. Voters are happy to see some different voices in the political arena.
But he is such a typical handsome guy.
There have been so many changes in the past few years that there were even rumors that the president was seriously ill.
Over the past few years, Benjamin, this handsome boy, has lost a lot of weight, his hair has gone bald, and he has aged a lot. Benjamin used to have a habit of exercising. When he first became president, he could be seen running in the White House.
.
It's basically invisible now.
Why?
Sad!
The United States itself has many problems, but these problems have been covered up by the great economic development and the establishment of hegemony after World War II. As the only superpower in the world after the Cold War, the United States now controls the three major hegemonies in the world: military, currency and technology. The United States
Because of its unique system, superior geography, and good opportunities, it has hegemony that other countries cannot shake in the military, economy, science and technology, and public opinion.
In today's United States, hegemony and interests have covered up many of their own inherent problems; the problem faced by current American politicians is not "doing something that cannot be done, but seeking for others", but "Jie, Zhou sinners", such as meeting
"Their demise was sudden." It's really not self-reliance. From the perspective of history,
Look at it like this. Look at the United States now. Everything is blamed on others: the COVID-19 epidemic, you have to say it is other people's problems; the economy is sluggish, you have to say others are taking advantage; the technological lead has been shortened, and there is an immediate technological war; drugs are rampant in the United States
, drug abuse, they blame others...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For another example, someone asked an American politician: China is working to lift all people out of poverty. It is determined to solve the poverty problem and eradicate poverty. There are a large number of homeless people in the United States. Why doesn’t the U.S. government do this?
Something? Do you know what the politicians would say? They said: It is their own choice for homeless people to be poor. This is an "attitude towards life".
Under hegemony, the United States looks great on the surface: low prices, high welfare, beautiful environment, and social stability. However, what lies beneath the surface is: high debt in the United States, which is a huge thunder.
Because under the hegemony of the U.S. dollar, the United States implements a "debt economy": issuing U.S. debt, exchanging it for U.S. dollars, purchasing world goods, providing good benefits to the people, maintaining minimum living standards, and maintaining low prices. However, if no one buys U.S. debt, all of this will
It is very difficult: we cannot import high-quality and low-priced goods, and we have no money to pay welfare.
It cannot maintain high military expenditures, etc. Everything needs money to maintain. Of course, the United States still has many advantages, high technology is one. The trouble now is: if it does not fight a technology war and liberalizes chip exports, this advantage of the United States will soon
Lost; in the technological war, chips will lose their largest market, and the United States will not be able to earn high profits.
The building will collapse in just a moment.
With the destruction of military hegemony (Atlantis launched an attack on land, destroying all the U.S. fleets overnight), it led to the disintegration of dollar hegemony.
The consequences of this can be imagined.
It is remarkable that Benjamin has been able to sustain the current situation. This is why, so far, the two parties in the United States have never impeached Benjamin or even strongly supported him, because no one can do better than him.
This is not a problem that can be solved by just telling lies.
If an unreliable one is replaced, the current situation that is barely maintained will completely collapse.
Therefore, not only will the two parties not oppose Benjamin at this critical moment, but will give him the greatest support.
He is afraid that he will become irrelevant and run away, as his current position is a fire pit.
There is no way the United States can play too few cards now.
They need some help.
Naturally, the magicians of Kama Taj also came into the government's sight.
It's still the same old thing. They hope to win over Kama Taj and make it a weapon to stabilize the situation in the United States. If possible, they even hope to nationalize it. In this way, they can continuously produce mages and then start again.
Seize hegemony.
Of course, the plan will not be so rough. But it is absolutely necessary to contact Kamal Taj first.
It's just that they had little chance to contact Kamal Taj from the beginning.
Until now.
After some basic greetings...it was actually Director Hill and the government envoy who were talking. Carter is an old agent. Although she has never been in contact with Kama Taj, she can think of these mysteries that have always been hidden behind human society.
Organizations don't care much about such polite greetings.
Sure enough, although Gu Yi didn't have an arrogant attitude towards ordinary people, he obviously didn't want to waste time on such things.
Finally, in an awkward silence, the two closed their mouths.
Then the formal conversation begins.
The special envoy spoke first: "Well..."
"You can call me Master, or call me by my name, Ancient One."
Gu Yi saw the other party's confusion, so he took the initiative to say. Master in English is Master... Yes, it is the Master who said "Are you my Master?" This word has many meanings, and the special envoy has never been able to understand this simplicity.
What does it represent?
He felt that the other party was humiliating him.
After all, he is a black man... As we all know, Master also means master. When black people were still working as farm tools, they called their masters Master...
Fortunately, there is an optional title at the end.
"Okay...Master Gu Yi. I hope you can explain what you did on American soil? Why did this happen here? We must give the people a reasonable explanation, and we also need a reasonable explanation."
Explain that your actions on U.S. soil have not been reported to any government department."
If you want to advance, suppress it first.
The U.S. government does want to strengthen ties with Kamal Taj, but that doesn’t mean they are willing to sacrifice their national identity. They need to make their position clear. That is, their federal government is the largest in the United States!
Of course, the US government is not really stupid, this is also a strategy.
Sure enough, Agent Hill soon followed.
"Please forgive Mr. Special Envoy's anger. After all, this is New York, the center of the United States. We don't have any information about what is happening here. This is a serious dereliction of duty on our part. The angry people will tear down the government tomorrow."
Already."
This is white face.
The routine of red face and white face has probably existed since humans began to develop language, but the routine is not afraid of aging, as long as it is useful.
They actually want Kamal Taj to establish a bridge for information exchange with the US government. They don't know what kind of cooperation or close relationship they can achieve with Kamal Taj from the beginning, but at least there must be a dialogue channel.
If you communicate more, everything will be easier to handle.
All mysteries stem from a lack of understanding of information.
Once you know more about it, Kama Taj will no longer be so mysterious, and the US government can even have its own mage!
Gu Yi looked at them silently... She didn't know what the US government thought. Did they think that the magicians of Kama Taj were all hermits who had no understanding of the world?
There is nothing wrong with the hermit.
But the magician of Kama Taj is not really the kind of immortal who doesn’t eat fireworks from the world.
The masters of Kama Taj are all selected by official masters from tens of millions of people through travel. They will look for those who are qualified but frustrated. They will not choose those who have strong desires and a happy life.
Because people like that have too much uncertainty.
At the same time, most of those frustrated people have seen through the world. They are not as transcendent as "jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements". At least they have experienced the warmth and coldness of human beings and the world. They are not fools who don't understand the four or six.
As far as Gu Yi is concerned, although she is very busy, she often travels around the world. They are not really out of touch with society, they are just not willing to blend in.
Not to mention Gu Yi, even Wang Yuan, the most unsophisticated person, could see through the trick these two people had.
"Hey, what's your American territory? This is the territory of the Indians! Also, when our Kama Taj built the temple on this land of the United States, there was no America!" Wang Yuan stood as expected.
Came out: "We don't need to explain anything to anyone, and you don't need to know!"
Mr. Special Envoy is very uncomfortable. A Chinese is standing on American soil and telling a black man that this is Indian land... It makes me happy to think about it.
Ancient One waved his hand: "We have no intention of contacting the secular government. We just want to remind you that the whole world will be in danger during this period. We cannot take care of human society for the time being, so you need to work hard on your own."
This was all Gu Yi had to say. As for asking the government for help to fight against the Dimensional Demon… she had never thought about it at all!
