The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

Chapter 272: Greedy Wolves

(Fourth update! 10,000 words updated, comrades, give me some, my bowl is empty~)

Northeastern people have an unwritten rule when receiving guests, which is that guests must walk in and burp out.

Because when doing things in the Northeast, the key is whether what you do is authentic. If you eat in a Northeast restaurant and say the food is not delicious, the boss usually won't feel anything. But if you say you are not full, the boss will cry in bed at night. If you come again next time, he will definitely fill you up until you lose your way.

We must not let our guests down. Come on, get out the biggest iron pot. We must stew the goose today!

However, if you go to a Northeastern person's home for dinner, the best treat is making dumplings. People who can eat dumplings at a Northeastern person's home are basically guests of honor, which means that your relationship is good.

When it comes to receiving comrades, a large group of people is definitely the highest rule, but if you ask their whole family to make dumplings, there are already more than 300 people who can come. Don't make it difficult for two retired elderly people. It's better to arrange it in the best hotel.

Then the problem arises. It is impossible for Lin Luan, the catfish, to pay for it all by himself. It is not that he has no money, but with his current status, it is difficult to explain how he suddenly came up with so much money, even if the money came from a legitimate source. After all, for Chinese people, the relationship between cadres and money is so deep that there are probably some unspeakable secrets.

Comrades naturally know this, so no one minds the AA system at all. It’s just a few dollars. The important thing is that everyone forms a group offline and has a big gathering.

Unfortunately, it is still a bit difficult to gather so many people in the country. After all, the number of players has grown to the level of 100,000. One hundred thousand people gathered in one place with a purpose, and each of them has extraordinary abilities and first-class combat effectiveness. It is a national TO-level existence. If it is not for the Olympics, then it is preparing to hold a congress.

The kind that changes representatives from top to bottom.

Although the final number of people only accounted for 7% of the total number of players, they were all old players who had persisted since the server was launched until now. In historical novels, this was all the merit of following the dragon. Each person had a courtyard house in Beijing, and turned left when they went out to reach Zhongnanhai.

During this process, Liu Qi helped a little and modified the data of the domestic Skynet system to make the players' movements appear to be normal. Unless there were professionals conducting on-site inspections, no one would know that so many people had gathered around the caracal Lin Luan. After that, they arranged a quieter place, and the dinner was completely undisturbed.

Otherwise, with Tuman Lin Luan's current identity, there are many people staring at him, some hope to cling to the thigh of this young talent, and some want to destroy him in advance. When you stand in that high position, the eyes of people around you will inevitably be mixed with various ideas, because those positions are limited, and with limited resources, no one wants to share them with others.

It is obvious that Tuman Lin Luan does not belong to the circle and is a complete outsider. It is impossible for such a person to easily enter the top three rows without the background of marriage.

"More and more people are eyeing me lately, especially those who come to propose marriage."

In the small villa that Tuman Linluan bought, he was complaining to Liu Qi about all the bad things he had encountered recently.

"If you want to make a living in politics, you have to face these issues. Don't forget that the top police officer is a top-three official at the state level. In theory, he's qualified to aspire to a high position. Even if he's not, the police are still an organ of violence, so the top leader must ensure that this position is filled by one of his own. Don't forget the founding principle of our country: political power grows from the barrel of a gun."

"You mean, as long as I want to continue to move forward, I have to compromise with certain forces."

"This is the inevitable result, unless they are killed."

"If I wanted to..."

"Of course you can, but you can't do it alone. Moreover, the overall domestic environment is stable and harmonious now. It's not time to summon Huang Chao yet. Major repairs and improvements can only be done in the revolutionary era."

"That is to say, all current changes in the country must be patched in a gradual manner until the day comes when patches can no longer be applied. Maintenance and stability are the most important."

"Yes, after all, the situation is far from overthrowing the system and starting over. If you start by destroying it, you'll easily become a target of public criticism, unless you can guarantee that the interests of the broad masses of the people won't suffer significant losses in the process. But that's impossible. A revolution from the top without foundation is just a utopian castle in the air. Rebuilding the social system requires bloodshed and sacrifice. Without the most tragic sacrifices, no country can enter a new era."

"So in my situation, I can only be a paperhanger at best, nothing like Li Hongzhang's behavior."

"Although there is no need for a drastic revolution at home, there is a need abroad. There is a vast world and much to be done."

"What do you want to say?"

"Are you interested in building an ideal country in the real world? Through healthy competition, we can help human civilization enter a period of rapid growth. This time, we'll compete on the good, not the bad."

"You want to..."

"I didn't switch places between the University of Tokyo and the United States just for fun."

Just when the players of the Beacon Era were meeting offline, on the other side of the ocean, many countries in Asia were secretly connecting with each other. The content of their connection was very simple: they joined forces to deal with the United States.

In the past, this kind of connection would have been impossible to form. There was no force around the United States that could resist the United States. Even if the United States weakened, these countries would not be the opponent of the United States. But after moving to the Asian server, which is a stronghold of combat power, the United States' rough approach no longer works. Those countries that ostensibly obeyed the United States were actually disobeying them in various ways, and some had many ways to play Tai Chi with the United States. What's more, the United States at this time could not even defeat the local armed forces of these countries.

Elite US troops are still okay, but the question is, how many elite troops are there in the US military?

In the past, people looked for good people in lighthouses, but now they look for gold in cesspools. The United States before World War II and the United States after the Cold War are almost becoming two species with reproductive isolation.

Strength is the only deterrent to endorse national dignity. Now that the American martial ethics cannot match the Asian server, the surrounding gold-rank players will naturally have ideas that they did not dare to have in the past.

This new boss is such a coward, should we snatch something from him?

Yes, the United States does have nuclear bombs, but the question is, how much deterrent power do the current US nuclear bombs have? And how much of the so-called nuclear stockpile that can destroy the whole world can really be used? Now the US's own chip industry is sluggish, and many military technologies are imported intermediate products from the East. Even if such a military empire is powerful, it does not have the ability to fight a protracted war.

What's more, the U.S. states are now alienated from the federal government. Trump wants to be an emperor whose words are law, but other states don't want to kneel before him and shout "Long live the emperor."

I was just playing with you, but you took it seriously.

However, when discussing this matter, we cannot bypass the University of Tokyo and Russia.

The former can provide Asian countries with massive industrial products and low-priced high-tech products, and the latter can provide nuclear weapon deterrence, that is, a nuclear umbrella. But don’t forget that from Southeast Asia to South Asia, and Northeast Asia, there are only four countries with nuclear bombs, and they surround the United States from four directions. If a nuclear war really breaks out, the United States cannot plow these countries inside and out, but these countries can definitely make the United States regress directly to the ranks of second-rate countries.

Looking at it this way, my chances of winning are still very good.

Even radicals within some countries have become furious. If the United States uses nuclear bombs, all citizens will move directly to the United States, tear a state from the United States to live there, or take over the state and become independent, turning things into an American civil war. Regardless of whether this is actually the case or not, this will definitely be the case in their external statements, and the situation in the United States will only become more chaotic.

Frankly speaking, after this idea began to spread, Asian countries around the United States began to be tempted, especially India. After the departure of the East Asian University, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also disappeared. Now there is a plain between the United States and India. A large number of Indian illegal immigrants cross the border into the United States and mingle with the locals. The intensity of the gunfire here is second only to the Southeast Asian border of the United States. -p

They really can't afford to offend Tokyo, but India feels it has a great advantage over the United States, which is surrounded by enemies.

Unconsciously, the small countries around the United States began to look at it with greedy eyes.

Chapter 273: Eagle Killing Encirclement

(The first update is here!)

If you choose to be the wolf king, then don't blame the wolf pack for abandoning you when you are unable to hunt.

This sentence is extremely appropriate for the United States.

The former wolf king has grown old, his eyes are degenerating, his claws are becoming brittle, and his body is full of flaws, but he is still in the position of wolf king, so at the right time, the wolf pack decided to exile the wolf king.

But when this story is applied to a human country, what awaits this country is division and destruction.

The United States has offended too many countries and committed too many crimes in a limited period of time, so many that even the American people are unwilling to trust their own government. They love their country, but they do not love the current American government.

The electoral system used to ease and release conflicts has been completely ruined. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have become the two largest cancer cells in the United States. Inside the layers of barriers of the cancer cells is financial capital. Even if Musk's death words destroy the prosperity of Wall Street, capital will still be reborn in another way. The only difference is that the place where they go public through a backdoor listing is called New Wall Street, which is located in today's San Francisco. After the exchange incident, New Wall Street moved to Washington.

Because after the exchange incident, San Francisco corresponded to the location of Lhasa in the East. Although the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau became the national barrier of the East, the plain also brought other problems, such as the inability to stop the surging Indian illegal immigrants.

The madness of these Indians is more dangerous than that of Latin American immigrants.

Modi, who has relied on Hindu nationalism to come to power three times in a row and seems to be able to do so for the fourth time, has already developed other ideas about the declining United States. India has always been like this. They are like a flock of sheep, but sheep have a relentless attitude towards grass. For India at this time, the declining United States is like large grass. They seem, as if, maybe, and should be able to take a bite.

At first, the United States did not care. It was just whispers between small countries and insignificant nagging around them. They had no power to change anything.

The operations of American capital in these countries are very smooth. Under the deterrence of the superpower, these countries are forced to open their financial markets, allowing American capitalists to enter their own national markets and take whatever they want. American capital is celebrating because they have found that although the countries cultivated by the Belt and Road Initiative are not as good as the University of Tokyo, they are all pieces of exquisite meat that can fill the stomach. For the greedy but hungry American capital, even if they are not full, it can relieve the emptiness in their stomachs.

Some capitalists even began to imagine such a scene: Tokyo University is building in the front and the United States is reaping the benefits in the back. What a perfect picture! If I can't take away Tokyo University, can I not take away you small countries?

Little do people know that there are no truly weak people in the Asian server where it is located. The wisdom of surviving and continuing for thousands of years is also wisdom, and this wisdom will change and reverse with the times.

If we compare the history of these countries vertically, we will find that after entering the modern era, the centralization capabilities of these small Asian countries have been rapidly increasing. They are just like a loose Western Zhou Dynasty compared to the University of Tokyo, but the problem is that even the United States was not as good as the Western Zhou Dynasty last week.

It was even worse than the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty, at least the various vassal states still gave face to the Zhou emperor.

Do you, Trump, have that much face in front of the governors and in front of local state rights in the United States?

Yes, these countries did open up their markets, and they looked like they were lying there ready for you to fuck them, but this also caused the US capital power to be suddenly dispersed to more than a dozen countries in a very short period of time, and they didn't even notice that although the handover process was smooth, these people were delaying the progress openly and secretly, making the speed of US capital's control over these countries no longer as fast as when they were in the Americas. Moreover, what they got were basically physical capital, and these capitals were all within these countries, so if they wanted to take them away, they had to transfer them physically.

In other words, as long as these countries collectively default on their debts, the United States will not be able to take a penny. As for how to default on their debts, India has already set an example.

Economic surrender is just a deception, which was easy to see through for the United States at the peak of the Cold War. After all, the joint actions of more than a dozen countries could not be kept confidential, and some information would always leak out. But at this time, the United States, which was plagued by internal and external troubles, had no extra energy to pay attention to the various intelligence sent by the intelligence agencies. Don't forget that the CIA was disbanded by Musk, and once the intelligence agencies collapsed, it would not be restored in a few days. That was the United States' overseas intelligence network for decades, not to mention that during that chaotic period, various countries were openly and secretly clearing out the United States' deeply infiltrated intelligence personnel, which made the United States basically deaf and blind in terms of deep intelligence.

As for the intelligence that can be obtained from newspapers, American think tanks treat it as entertainment information. After all, the current level of analysis of American think tanks is basically based on public information from various countries, and many data are estimates. Not long ago, the Trump administration also cut funding for American high-tech and transferred it to the military.

This is Trump’s preparation before he ascended the throne. I want to be a dictator and the emperor of the United States. No matter what this emperor is, you will definitely have meat to eat if you follow me. So are you willing to be loyal to me?

Some people in the military have already given answers and received generous rewards, but there are also voices of opposition. These internal contradictions have further exacerbated the division in the United States. In other words, the United States today is no longer a federal country that can be patched up by changing presidents.

As various state functions gradually weaken, the federal government's management capabilities are also plummeting, as if a patient with multiple organ failure is still alive not because of a medical miracle, but simply because his death has not yet arrived.

The United States knows what is happening around it, but it is unlikely that the United States really knows what is happening around it.

"Humanity has never seen such a clear example of the collapse of a superpower. The decline of the United States is more concrete than that of the Soviet Union. It is a qualified general teacher."

Liu Qi is making sharp comments on the United States. As for whether the United States will use nuclear bombs to threaten the whole world at the last moment, haha, if American capitalists really have the courage to do so, the Cold War would have long turned into a hot war. Moreover, when a country is weak, it is weak in all aspects, and the United States' nuclear strike capability is also being weakened.

According to the intelligence Liu Qi has collected so far, even if the United States launches a nuclear war now, the number of nuclear missiles that can be launched will not exceed three digits, and they are basically old models of missiles. With Tokyo University's current missile interception technology, it would be a miracle if they cannot be intercepted. In other words, Tokyo University already has the technological strength to be the only superpower in the world to survive an all-out nuclear war.

The era of conventional intercontinental ballistic missiles deterring the world is over, and now is the era of hypersonic smart missiles.

It is no exaggeration to say that human missile computers are already smarter than 99 percent of the world's humans in terms of mathematics, even if it is just a disposable product.

Actually, the computing ability of most humans is not as good as that of an abacus, wow.

But this didn’t prevent humans from inventing the abacus and computers, right?

"When are we going to finish?" asked the caracal Lin Luan.

"Well, you can prepare for this in advance, but are you really planning to give up developing in the country?"

"Didn't you say before that my upward mobility in China requires compromise? Now I'm a player in two different worlds, so why not challenge something more exciting?"

"That's true. Then you should resign first. I will arrange your new identity."

"no problem!"

The news of Lin Luan's resignation shocked everyone. No one understood why he did this. He was a promising young man with a bright future. Even if he couldn't be in the first three rows in the future, he could still sit opposite the first three rows. Why did he give up politics?

Lin's father and mother didn't quite understand their son's idea, but they chose to support him, because everything their son had now was the result of his own hard work, which showed that their son could create a new world. Just as a fledgling spreads its wings and an eagle soars, it is impossible for them to take care of their child for a lifetime. They should let the child choose his own future path.

In this way, the caracal Lin Luan temporarily bid farewell to his parents and came to the United States with the new identity prepared for him by Liu Qi. At this time, the situation seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were actually surging.

He was not alone, because he knew that more comrades would soon join the new revolutionary ranks.

The real world also needs international volunteers.

Chapter 274: The Volunteer Army's Left Hook

(Second update! I'm in a new position, surrounded by new people. Ah, what the hell is going on? Damn Sukabulie!)

"This is your new identity, a Chinese American."

"You're ready so quickly."

"It's a simple thing."

"But the problem is that the person in this photo is so different from me."

"So you still need this."

Liu Qi handed a small suitcase to the caracal Lin Luan.

"what is this?"

"Press the button above." -p

Lin Luan the caracal did as he was told. The next second, the silvery-white substance completely covered him, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Nano armor binding complete. Smart assistant 15645478 sends you greetings."

"Holy crap! High-tech."

"Now let the smart assistant change your image. You can also give it a new name."

"It also has a transformation function, what a great thing!"

"If you want to have a more exciting day, you can get a transformation belt and go through a process before transforming."

"This is not necessary."

The method to go to the United States is also very simple. Liu Qi has deployed resurrection beacons in the United States and Dongda. Caracal Lin Luan can directly redeploy them there, and as a fully awakened player, there is no limit to the number of times he can deploy.

It's like he can be resurrected infinitely.

This gave him even more courage to commit suicide.

The only problem is that he is the only awakened player at this stage, but it doesn’t matter, there will definitely be more and more in the future.

"Is the way to become an awakened player to die once in real life?"

"Yes and no. This is one of the conditions, but it's not an absolute condition. In other words, if players who don't meet this standard deliberately seek death, then they'll die."

“It seems that this standard is very strict.”

"Of course. Look at the conditions you enjoy now. If he wasn't someone who could control himself, do you think I would be confident in giving him such powerful strength?"

"So you trust me?"

"Before you let the people down, I have absolute confidence in you."

"Then I'm relieved."

Lin Luan, the catfish, himself cannot guarantee what the future will be like, but he cannot do nothing just because he is afraid.
