I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Unfortunately, reality is completely different from fairy tales.

Not only does Red not have much savings, he has never married and is still a bachelor. Most of his monthly salary is spent in bars and bath centers.

Why don’t you get married?

Because female immigrants are rarer and there are more choices. Why would you choose a white-collar or gold-collar worker instead of a construction worker who sweats all day long?

He built countless high-rise buildings on the "Rockefeller Star", but he did not own a single room and is still squeezed into a container-style shed on the construction site.

This is also the reason why Red joined without hesitation when Steve expanded the team.

He had nothing!

"Damn Rockefeller, they're just a bunch of leeches!" Red's mouth was filled with alcohol and he growled in a low voice: "They've increased my years of service!"

"We agreed to five years, and then five more years passed. I've already completed seven five-year terms, and they still won't let me go back to Earth!"

Yes, Red wanted to go home.

This damn interstellar era is not friendly at all to these poor people at the bottom of society. They have spent most of their lives on this "Rockefeller Planet", and have gained nothing except injuries and illnesses.

With such a terrible life, it would be better to stay on Earth.

Even the most politically unthinking immigrants have figured out in these decades that Earth, with its myriad nations, is more civilized than alien planets controlled by a single family.

At least, there is international public opinion on Earth, but public opinion on "Rockefeller Planet" will only sing praises for the Rockefeller family.

Chapter 576 Human Breeding Farm

Although the Steve Rogers here has not systematically learned the experience of struggle like the real captain who was transformed by Lin Hao, he is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield and led a team. He has been constantly observing and learning in the past fifty years, and is no longer the same as before.

So he also knew that an underground organization must adhere to a strict confidentiality system. Some things, such as the organization's program and purpose, can be disclosed to all members, but some things, such as the organization's membership list and secret communication channels, obviously cannot be disclosed to all members.

Red came to complain under the influence of alcohol, but he actually had his own little thoughts.

He saw that Steve could enter and exit "Rockefeller Planet" freely, so he knew that he must have his own transportation channels. So he wanted the captain to do him a favor and take him back to Earth first.

This was not just his idea. Other workers who drank with him had the same idea. As long as Steve dared to speak up, others would certainly have an excuse to make demands.

Yes, Steve's team is that complex now.

How much awareness can a group of immigrants who are just dissatisfied with the consortium but do not have the courage to jump out and resist with force have if they have not experienced the test of blood and fire?

The capital consortium is controlled by selfish desires. Aren’t these immigrants who wish the consortium’s bosses dead just taking care of themselves first?

Steve also wants to find some energetic young people, but the young immigrants have not yet seen the true face of the capital consortium and are still blinded by the high salary trap. Who dares to take the risk to join him in the underground struggle?

As for those immigrants who were brave enough to resist with force, they had already "disappeared" in batches.

The arms giants sell weapons wantonly in America, but on their own unique planet they guard their weapons very strictly, and would like to equip even a stun baton with a tracker.

After all, America belongs to everyone. It cannot be privatized anyway, so making money is the most important thing. But our own planet is our own, so how can we allow the little people to master weapons?

Steve has no shortage of weapons, but he is still waiting for an opportunity.

Because over the past thirty years, although the immigrants have accumulated a lot of resentment towards the capital consortium, it has not yet reached the level of supporting their armed resistance. Most immigrants, like Red in front of them, just want to escape back to Earth and get away from the persecution of the consortium.

"Don't worry, this won't last long!"

After Steve calmed Red, he continued to use the artificial intelligence that Tony had updated for him to invade the Rockefeller family's network and collect the intelligence he wanted.

Over the past fifty years, scientists on Earth have naturally been promoting technological advancement, and in many aspects have already caught up with Tony Stark from more than fifty years ago. However, Tony is not standing still. He has a brain that was inspired by a Marvel editor. Although this world rejects supernatural powers, it does not reject technology.

What's more, this world itself is still in the Marvel Universe and has not yet transcended.

Of course Tony's genius brain is still working, and so is Lin Hao's brain.

Tony Stark still suppresses the scientists on Earth by himself. In addition, he himself possesses many alien technology reserves that far exceed the technological level of the Earth. Therefore, even after fifty years, he still maintains an absolute advantage in the fields of mechanical manufacturing, electronic engineering, etc. that he is good at. However, he is relatively weak in the field of biological sciences and has gradually been overtaken.

Of course, if this continues, he will be completely surpassed sooner or later.

Because of the uncertainty of genes and the huge population base, a new genius brain will be created sooner or later, like Einstein and Landau.

Steve was conducting his daily intelligence gathering, but unexpectedly, an unexpected wiretap allowed him to find the opportunity he had been waiting for.

At this moment, the top leaders of the Rockefeller family were holding an internal meeting.

“Human resources remain a big challenge.”

Through the surveillance, Steve saw a Rockefeller family member in a suit and tie presiding over the meeting.

"After all these years of fighting, the American population on the old planet has dropped to 100 million. They can live comfortably on Earth, and their desire to immigrate and open up new land is getting smaller and smaller."

"According to the statistics department's estimates, over the past thirty years, the top ten financial groups have only recruited an average of about 20 million people each, and the remaining 100 million Americans have been divided up between other families and the federal government."

"Since China entered the interstellar era, it has become difficult for us to absorb Chinese immigrants, and other countries on Earth have also had other options."

"Currently, the number of immigrants under the control of the Rockefeller family has just reached 27.55 million. This number, placed on the four habitable planets under our control, can only support one or two cities each."

"China has built at least ten cities on each of the fifteen habitable planets under its control, and their population has achieved healthy growth."

Half a century after the earthlings entered the interstellar age, everyone has realized that without a large population base, it is impossible to support a healthy interstellar civilization.

For example, the Rockefeller family, although they controlled four habitable planets and dozens of mineral planets, seemed very empty due to the lack of population.

There are only one or two cities on each habitable planet, and only one mine is set up on the mineral planet to mine the main mineral resources. Even the names of them have become "Coal Star", "Iron Star" and "Copper Star". They seem to be extremely arrogant, but in fact they are full of helplessness.

Rather than saying that such a planet is occupied by the Rockefeller family, it would be more accurate to say that a dog urinated on it and self-righteously marked it as its territory.

Right now, all the people on Earth are busy developing wasteland, but once the pace of exploring new habitable planets slows down and all the habitable planets in nearby star fields are discovered, competition and even war will inevitably break out.

Over the past few decades, their top ten financial groups have had many conflicts over the competition for mineral planets rich in gold mines, rare earths and other resources.

It is conceivable that once all the habitable planets in the nearby star fields are found by the people on Earth, war will follow.

After all, habitable planets are absolutely non-renewable resources.

With a growth cycle of billions of years, the people on Earth don’t think they can wait until the next batch.

With the current layout of only a few scattered cities on each planet, how can we deal with interstellar wars?

On the habitable planets controlled by China, many cities have been built and populated in accordance with the planetary defense strategy. Each city has a population of millions or even tens of millions, and the average population on each planet is over 100 million.

Each planet is managed very well and is preparing for the interstellar war that is likely to occur in the future.

Although the United States has an advantage in the number of habitable planets under its decentralized control, it is weak everywhere. If a war really breaks out in the future, China's spacecraft can land in desolate areas, and they cannot even deploy an orbital interception network.

However, the American financial groups, aware of this serious problem, can no longer stick together for warmth.

The top ten conglomerates all have their own territories. Who is willing to sacrifice for someone else's planet?

If a fight really breaks out, it would be good enough if you don't take the opportunity to add insult to injury!

"Why has China's population doubled in these fifty years?" a slightly younger Rockefeller asked in the conference room.

The elder Rockefeller did not expect him to ask such a stupid question, and for a moment he did not know how to answer it.

In the end, his father didn't want him to continue to embarrass himself, so he glared at him.

"We can't learn their methods." The man presiding over the meeting said indifferently.

The reason why the population of the great Eastern country has doubled in fifty years is, of course, because the existing system has relatively restricted the selfish desires of the noble families and brought better welfare benefits to ordinary people.

As income increases and life pressure decreases, ordinary citizens naturally want to have more children.

Just like the passionate years, the people who overthrew the mountains broke out with a strong desire to reproduce. In just over 20 years, the population doubled from 400 million to 800 million.

Of course, the American capitalist consortium cannot learn this because it requires them to relax their exploitation of the lower classes.

It seems that as long as they have a little long-term vision and more conscience, they will be rewarded handsomely.

However, the capital consortium driven by selfish desires can only be united when fighting for the meat. If they are asked to share some of the meat, there will be many problems!

What is the most common thing in a big family?

Although there is a lot of money, there are also a lot of people!

Ordinary people can’t afford to raise a child, so why should they worry about this?

Especially for a big family like the Rockefeller that has existed for two hundred years, how many side branches does it have?

Most of these tribesmen have moved from Earth to their home planet in the past thirty years, and they control the three cities, eighteen towns, and hundreds of mines and farms on the home planet.

If the big guys at the top get to eat the meat, then the little guys below have to have a sip of the soup, right?

Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my last name "Rockefeller"?

Therefore, the higher-ups set the tax rate at one-tenth, and with each layer of additional tax increases, the lower-ups dared to collect five-tenths.

Of course, the means would be relatively covert, recovering wealth in various ways.

For example, if the family member in charge of the farm is short of money, he can find an excuse to raise the price of meat, and the immigrants will pay for it anyway.

Everyone is enjoying themselves while eating meat and drinking soup, and you want us to give up these grey incomes with just one sentence?

Why?

If you have the ability, the bigwigs above you can give up your extravagant lifestyle and set an example!

This... this is costing my life!

How can a master who has been accustomed to a life of luxury since childhood endure such hardship?

Therefore, this family-based model of interstellar development cannot benefit the people at all. A family that is capable of entering the interstellar era cannot be just a small family with a simple structure, and must take into account the feelings of its side branches.

But they are connected by blood and cannot even learn from the state machinery. Even if something goes wrong, they are just fined three glasses of wine.

Especially in the current situation where there are still a lot of resources to be developed, it is impossible for the big family to be ruthless and carry out rectification.

Otherwise, people’s morale will be low and it will be difficult to lead the team.

In the era of pioneering, if we don’t rely on blood and marriage, do we have to rely on outsiders?

On Earth, even larger family businesses have to face such problems, let alone on an alien planet where there is no other supervisory force?

The model of benefiting the people and thus promoting natural population growth simply does not work on a planet dominated by large families.

"The only option is to increase investment in the research and development of artificial intelligence and fully automated production lines."

Faced with the problem of human resource shortage, the Rockefeller family made the same choice as the United States in reality and tried to replace manpower with machines.

But in reality, what Americans lack is cheap labor, even the Rockefellers here are lacking it.
