As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 195 The Real Big Loser (4000)

“Sure enough, we were discovered, but Japan knew the news earlier than we expected.

It would be perfect if we could get the magic coin from them and then expose it.

But it’s not too early to be discovered now.”

"We can move forward with our plan to join the Europa Union, but do we really want to be tied to the ship of the Europa Union?"

"We have no choice, the Europa League is our best option, isn't it?
If we unite with America, England's independence cannot be guaranteed, but if we choose the Europa League, we can still compete for the dominance of the Europa League.

As for China, we are too different and too far apart to be a reliable alliance."

"Alas, times have changed. Whether the choices we make today are right or wrong in the turbulent torrent will be proven in the future.

During this period of time, I need you to play the clown in public.

To wear the crown you must first be a clown."

Crown: crown; clown: clown.

“The emergence of magic means the advent of a new era. We will accelerate into the interstellar age, and technology will explode in the next fifty years.

If England does not occupy a certain position in the industrial chain, what awaits us is elimination.

When other countries build bases on the moon and Mars, the English will become the natives of the blue planet.

The Europa League needs England and England needs the Europa League.

Times have changed and we can no longer continue with our previous foreign policy.”

Before Merlin appeared, Blue Star was on the brink of a financial crisis, and the previous world situation could no longer be maintained.

There is an impending reshuffle of power, and all parties are ready to make a move.

The fundamental reason is that technology has stagnated for too long, the increments are getting smaller and smaller, and the previous ways of playing are no longer viable.

But as usual, the chessboard is still just on the blue planet, and the struggle between countries is under the threat of nuclear deterrence.

England could have still been the role it always likes to be - troublemaker.

England's actions in early 202 were very shameless, almost putting the two core members of the Europa League on the spot.

England's actions have led to disunity among countries within the Europa League.

The idea of ​​Germany and France to further integrate the power of the European Union was shattered at no cost.

England is indeed a top player in geopolitics.

England, America and Japan have similar geopolitical positions, all of which are offshore balancers.

England is the offshore balancer of the European continent, Neon is the offshore balancer of Asia, and America is the offshore balancer of the World Island.

But the appearance of Merlin changed the world line into a completely new script.

The scientific and technological revolution is on the eve of an explosion, and the Deep Blue No. 1 biological storage server is more like the morning star on the eve of the explosion.

The Deep Blue No. 1 biological storage server has directly led to an explosive growth in China's research and development results in the field of artificial intelligence.

China's driverless trucks have already started trial operation on some roads.

Autonomous driving will definitely start with long-distance bus operations. The road conditions in urban areas are complicated, but the road conditions on highways are simple, and even in the dark, the sensors will not get lost.

Unmanned long-distance buses are already running between logistics warehouses of e-commerce giants such as JD.com and Ali.

Chinese officials personally participated in the formulation of rules for this matter and implemented strict supervision throughout the process.

England knew that they couldn't drag it on any longer. The rules of the game had changed, and the strategy had to change accordingly.

Artificial intelligence, biological computers, and interstellar colonization are simply not something that the loose alliance between England, Japan, and the Kangaroo Country can handle.

You have to know that England is a strategic master and has never made a wrong choice of side in modern times.

From the beginning, they had no intention of continuing to hang out with Japan and the Kangaroo Country.

Cooperating with these two countries is just a temporary strategy.

After using magic coin and discovering the bounty mission, England decided to use a painful tactic to rejoin the Europa League.

If we play with Japan and the Kangaroo Country, China and America may have already built bases on Mars, and they haven't even landed on the moon yet.

The population, technological strength and potential of the European Union are obviously stronger than those of Neon and the Kangaroo Country.

England knows very well that in order to gain, it must first give. It must first show an isolated image and let the European Union see England's miserable situation before it can talk about the subsequent rejoining the European Union.

Otherwise, if you suddenly defect, why should we let you join?

As for concealing the existence of the Magic Forum, Neon unilaterally claimed that it was a deception and that everyone was just a loose scientific research alliance.

There was no binding contractual stipulation that nothing should be concealed.

Joining the Europa League is different. England intends to pay a high price to return to the Europa League this time.

During this period, England became a hot topic of public opinion on the Blue Planet, and was first condemned by Japan and the Kangaroo Country.

Then England hopes to reach cooperation with India.

It is also reported that England hopes to join the super quantum accelerator project being built by China and Russia on the border between the two countries.

For a time, England's decision-makers were running around the world.

By mid-June, when the dust had settled, England said it would hold another referendum to return to the Europa League.

At the same time, the President of the Europa League publicly welcomed this.

England also stated that if it succeeds in returning to the Europa Union this time, it will fully integrate into the Europa Union, including abandoning the pound sterling, which has a history of more than 300 years.

Even after England joined the Europa League, its monetary system remained independent.

This time, they even want to abandon the monetary system and return to the Europa Union, which shows their determination.

The American side naturally does not want to see a fully integrated European continent.

But he didn't have enough chips to stop England.

America can only instruct its media to publicize the disadvantages of the Europa League.

But the desire to help England return to the Europa League is even stronger.

Originally, in the first referendum in 16, the difference in votes between Brexit and no Brexit was only about two million.

Under the guidance of public opinion, England passed a referendum to return to the Europa League, and the Europa League was passed almost immediately.

Netizens on Twitter, Quora, and YouTube abroad are discussing this.

"I can't understand why we have to rejoin the Europa League? Paying sky-high membership fees every year to subsidize other member states? The most terrifying thing is that everyone actually passed a resolution to return to the Europa League!"

"Our glorious maritime traditions have been abandoned by incompetent politicians!" "We have to accept a large number of migrant workers again. The good times of not having Eastern European accents in the past few years are over."

After returning to the Europa League, English social media was filled with the wailing and dissatisfaction of Brexiteers.

This does not mean that more people support Brexit, it just means that the goal of the Remain camp has been achieved, and the Brexit camp is the losing party.

Generally, the losing party is more willing to vent their dissatisfaction on social media.

Germany, France and other Europa League member states have different views.

The reaction of the German and French leaders was that a troublemaker had arrived. The reaction of other Europa League member states was that the rich had arrived and more subsidies would be given.

The Europa League's funds need to be paid by member states in proportion to their GDP. England is undoubtedly a big contributor.

This is not only a major event within the European continent, but also a focus of the world.

Chinese netizens also had a lot of discussions about this, and the question of England's return to the Europa League topped the hot search list on Zhihu for several days.

Although the popularity of Zhihu's political circle has been declining in recent years, with fewer and fewer quality answers, it was still glorious from 16 to 18.

"How do you evaluate England's series of operations, including joining the Europa League, leaving the EU, and then rejoining the Europa League?"

"Thanks for the invitation, I'm in England and I'm surrounded by people cheering for England's return to the Europa League.

Compared with the Brexit and Remain factions in 16, this year is very interesting, with the two factions being the Integration faction and the Isolation faction.

Those who support returning to the European Union are called integrationists, while those who oppose it are called isolationists.

The term "isolationist" comes from England's long-standing tradition of isolationist diplomacy. This is not something I made up, but a term defined by the Times and recognized by the English people.

This time when it returned to the Europa League, England almost completely accepted the proposal put forward by the Europa League, and even abandoned its independent monetary system.

It should be noted that abandoning the pound and adopting the euro not only means giving up monetary autonomy and independent monetary policy - the ability to implement expansionary or contractionary monetary policy, but also means that in the future England will choose to be deeply bound to the Europa League.

It won’t be as easy to leave the EU in the future as it was 16 years ago.

Judging from the English classmates around me, everyone generally believes that England should return to the Europa League, and there are very few isolationists.

But among the teachers in our department, the split between isolationists and integrationists is about 50-50.

Most isolationists believe that one should not put all eggs in one basket and should continue the previous isolationist foreign policy.

Joining the Europa League will have a negative impact on the economy. The influx of a large number of migrant workers will put great pressure on England's welfare system, etc.

Both sides' reasons are very reasonable and sufficient.

As an international student, I naturally support joining the Europa League, which means that policies will be further opened and I will have more opportunities to stay and work in England.

From England's perspective, I can understand why they made this decision because the world situation now is completely different from that in 2016.

Mainstream countries have significantly increased their investment in scientific research, including China's lunar space station, America's Mars program, and so on.

All of this shows that the next technological revolution is coming. It is unrealistic for England to sit on the fence again. Joining the Europa League may give them a chance to have some benefits or even eat some meat. If they continue to sit on the fence, they will only be eliminated by the times. "

China's major social media platforms are filled with history, politics and economics enthusiasts, and everyone can analyze the policy directions of various countries in recent years.

A series of technologies that were originally thought to be very far away, such as biological storage, brain-computer connection, and landing on Mars, have already been implemented. One or two of them are just coincidences, but their appearance one after another is no longer a coincidence.

Everyone can sense that a new era of technological explosion is coming, but whether it can bring about a new generation of technological revolution remains unknown.

Some people like to extrapolate things in a positive way.

It is normal that some people on Zhihu can make a rough guess, and the wisdom of netizens should not be underestimated.

The price England paid for this was not only the complete integration of its currency system into the Europa Union, but also the sharing of magic-related research knowledge, the placement of future research bases in neutral countries, Wiles's trip to Brussels, and the unified management of used magic coins by the Europa Union, etc.

The following are underwater transactions, which are not well known to the general public.

From a short-term perspective, it is a loss, but looking back in the long river of history, we can know whether this transaction is a profit or a loss.

Just like England's overall contraction around the world and the abandonment of a large number of overseas military bases.

Looking back now, it was undoubtedly the right choice, but looking back then, it also seemed like a big loss.

From the current perspective, not only England is at a loss, but Japan is also at a loss.

The partner that was originally thought to be a partner returned to the Europa League in the blink of an eye, leaving only Japan and the Kangaroo Country playing a two-man show.

You have to know that the Kangaroo Kingdom was just there to make up the numbers in the Triple Alliance.

If they couldn't provide a large amount of land, they would never have brought the Kangaroo Kingdom to play.

You should know that in the world population density rankings, England and Neon are both among the top, with Neon ranking eighth and England ranking twelfth.

The Kangaroo Country ranks last, with an area of ​​769 million square kilometers and a population of only million.

The Kangaroo Country can provide a large amount of land for the construction of space launch bases and other scientific research facilities.

Space launch bases have certain geographical requirements, preferably close to the equator or at low latitudes.

For example, the launch center of the Europa Space Agency was chosen in French Guiana in South America, rather than on the European continent.

In history, England once jointly built a space launch base with the Kangaroo Country on its land, called the Woomera Launch Center, but the base was later abandoned.

Compared with Japan, the research and development capabilities of Kangaroo Country's 25 million people are just for show.

Looking back on the situation afterwards, Japan felt that they were disgusted by England.

Now this situation is really orphaned.

Even if the times change in the future and the Kangaroo Country can survive by selling resources, it will be very difficult for a small country like Japan with few resources to survive.

Neon is pure and wants to cry but has no tears.

I even want to seek help from ASEAN. Although ASEAN’s scientific research capabilities are not that strong, it has a large population and at least has potential.

Talent means everything.

When there are many people, there will always be talented people emerging.

The changing world situation has a strong lag in its impact on individuals.

The changes brought about by the world situation can only be felt after months or even years.

England's return to the Europa League has also had a certain impact on Ke Chuang Bio.

Originally, if the Europa League imposed a high fine on Sinovation Biotech, Sinovation Biotech would simply not enter the Europa League market.

We can use the English market as a springboard and ship the goods to England. As for whether to sell them to the Europa League, it depends on the ideas of the dealers in England.

Now this road is completely blocked.

However, there was still half a year left until the end of the year, so Zheng Li chose to return to China by ship in early May.
