Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 524 War without smoke

After reviewing the intelligence, Yu Yang found an empty meeting room and contacted the think tank.

In the past, China focused on its own industrial chain, and on the surface, it posed a limited threat to the West.

For example, the accessible luxury brand Lucky Clover sportswear is a niche brand.

For example, the market sales of amino acid-based and extensively hydrolyzed milk powder are only 10% of those of regular formula milk powder.

For example, the three-series terminals use a monochrome green screen and are relatively thick, making them less user-friendly than trendy 3G phones.

For example, Shili Mall and SL Mall are affected by the international situation and trade agreements, resulting in limited supply and market share that cannot compare with Walmart, Carrefour, Costco, etc. In some regions, they cannot even compare with local brands such as Dongshan Ginza, CR Vanguard, German Schwarz, and European Aldi.

However, as the three-series industry chain becomes more and more complete, coupled with the recognition and trust of the three-series brand by the vast majority of customers.

When an industrial chain transforms into an ecosystem, the competition between capital becomes a clash of systems.

One is the Western system that has dominated the world for decades.

One is the newly emerging collectivist triad system.

The two sides have clear-cut differences in many areas, including food, electronics, industry, and weaponry, yet they are also at odds with each other.

As a result, the West feels a huge threat, and the trend of global polarization is becoming increasingly apparent.

Against this backdrop.

Sanyuan Agriculture believes in the principle that "might makes right" and "what comes from the barrel of a gun," while Western capitalism, frankly speaking, is nothing more than a group of people running companies together and living together, each with their own interests.

This led to the capitalist alliance, led by federal capital, being hesitant to confront the three systems head-on.

The way the two sides interacted gradually evolved into a situation where they appeared to be fighting to the death on the surface, but were actually cooperating deeply in secret.

In terms of fighting to the death, the war of words between the three countries continues to this day. The three countries are willing to openly declare war in order to seize interests in Africa, and have had multiple confrontations in the Bering Sea and the Philippine Sea.

In terms of covert cooperation, the Morgan Group expanded the US dollar market through the Three Systems Industry, the oil tycoon obtained high-tech materials support through the Three Systems Industry, Old Smith stabilized the North American financial economy through the Three Systems Industry, and Old Brooks eroded the oil tycoon's business through the Three Systems Industry…

Therefore, although everyone knows that the simulated cultivation of immortality represents the expansion of the three-system electronics to the world, the members of Western capitalism, for their own interests, at most do some superficial projects.

if not?
Capitalists donate money to fight a war with an uncertain outcome, one that could even lead to their own destruction.
Obviously, no capitalist would want to participate in something where the investment and returns are disproportionate.

No capitalist would be willing to sever ties with the three companies and give up their most profitable business.

Ultimately, the clash between these systems virtually eliminated the possibility of a full-scale war.

Furthermore, because both sides have the ability to overturn the table, regional confrontations have turned into small-scale conflicts, or even into invisible wars.

The "invisible war" includes ideological warfare, covert financial maneuvering, talent poaching, AI data disruption, and the struggle for standard-setting power.

Among these, ideological warfare is the most important.

Its main components include political and legal systems, moral norms, art forms, religious beliefs, philosophical theories, and social systems.
Its main functions include guiding political direction, maintaining social stability, building consensus on values, promoting economic development, and shaping cultural identity.

Strengthening ideology can improve public awareness, prevent Western infiltration and revolution, and thus reduce economic operating costs.

Just like the old men and women in Shiliying.

Without a sense of ownership, they would dismantle the wheels, pick up bicycles, and take home all the public facilities they could carry.

If they have a sense of ownership, they will take the initiative to maintain public facilities, pick up litter, maintain green belts, and take care of children they don't know...

In comparison, the former's fiscal expenditure has doubled, while the latter's fiscal expenditure has been reduced by an unknown amount.

It's like a mental patient.

If ideological correction is not emphasized, he may be infiltrated by the West and then endanger society. Conversely, under the care of collectivism, he subconsciously considers this a 'home,' knows how to care for the elderly, knows how to protect the young, and knows how to kill a child trafficker with a knife when the trafficker tries to steal a child.

This is the huge difference brought about by ideology.

The West launched an ideological war in order to disrupt the normal human society within the factory, so as to trigger serious incidents that had never occurred within the factory, and then use this to criticize and negate the factory, and to make the factory's supporters reject the factory.

The methods they use are not limited to spreading slanderous remarks about the factory or publishing works of art that distort values. They also include bribing factory management to cause production accidents, bribing factory education staff to revise textbooks, or bribing researchers to steal the research results of the three departments.

In short, ideological warfare is ubiquitous and difficult to defend against.

Their own response plan had actually been prepared long ago.

First, we need to break through platform restrictions.

Establish an independent and controllable communication infrastructure, including the Sanyuan Communication Network, Xita Starlink, Chinese operating system, and distributed social platforms - Sanxi Forum and Sanxi Talk, to avoid being 'silenced' by the West during critical periods and losing our voice.

Second, it deconstructs the traps of Western narratives.

Establish an authoritative institution headed by the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau, continuously enhance its authority through scientific research papers and reports, and then refuse to respond to the issues set by the West, including double standards on human rights and false ideas of freedom. Instead, actively define a new agenda, including white papers on collectivist development and the lack of democracy/human rights/fairness in North America.

Third, we need to reshape the logic of discourse.

In the economic sphere, the three-system supply chain sharing plan will be highlighted to drive industrialization in Africa;
In the area of ​​people's livelihood, we promote the technology of deeply hydrolyzed milk powder to solve the allergy problem of millions of children;
In the cultural sphere, the game's 'simulated cultivation' mechanics convey the values ​​of cooperation among three systems…

Fourth, the strategy of dismantling the opponent's camp.

This includes strengthening cooperation with financial factions such as the Morgan Group and Old Smith, and widening the gap in interests between them and ideological hawks (such as the military-industrial complex).

Another key aspect is to consistently improve awareness within the factory.

This includes educational reforms – a alliance of 100 schools, elite selection – AI-based monitoring, and anti-infiltration mechanisms – employee cards within factories…

Overall, the West's reaction was within our expectations, and we had already made preparations in advance.

Perhaps, when Old Smith needed to rely on a graphics card matrix and three-system central processing units to maintain Wall Street's financial hegemony, the ideological iron curtain of capitalism was already riddled with holes.

As for the assassination of Rumsfeld in North America…

It was just a counter-espionage plot by our own side.

As for North America's overtures to the Arctic bears, the Arctic bears are once again showing pro-American sentiment...

Dogs cannot change shit.

...

Yu Yang discussed the matter with his think tank for more than two hours.

After the call ended and I stepped out of the conference room, the offline player meet-up continued outside.

In addition to launching the Idle Game Handheld and the BUG World Entertainment Handheld, Second Life is also about to release its first major version update.

The update includes:

The game store has added 120 new sets of fashion and jewelry in different styles. Players who purchase these in-game can also claim the same items for free at offline stores such as Shili Mall and SL Mall.

Similarly, items designed and created by players in the game can be brought to life in reality by spending a certain amount of handling fees, material costs, and labor costs.

For example, if you design an earring in the game and spend 980 yuan, Third Life will send the same piece of jewelry to you.

For example, you design a Watt steam engine in the game, the size of a bottle of Coca-Cola, costing 2.8 red coins, which can be delivered to your door within a week.
