Chapter 284: Hitting the Snake at Its Weak Point
Li Tang found it a little funny when he thought of Du Yiyan's surprised expression about the number of recruits.

Beilusong has a large population, many of whom are poor and helpless.

In addition to the manpower consumed by infrastructure construction, there will still be many people with nothing to do.

If a new regime cannot ensure that these young and strong laborers have enough food to eat, they will be exploited by those with ulterior motives to cause trouble.

Therefore, Li Tang asked Du Yiyan to adopt the method of large-scale recruitment and training.

At least for the first month of the new regime, these people were organized.

After the best of the best have been eliminated, the remaining people will be transformed into militia reserves.

These eliminated people have also acquired a preliminary level of organization, and can be easily used in any task.

Even if they are no longer useful and are sent back to their hometowns, they will not be easily instigated.

The million-strong army that was finally selected was organized into divisions with 15000 people each, for a total of 67 divisions.

Among them, 10 will be selected for the Air Force and 20 will be selected for the Navy.

The actual army is actually only about 70.

Li Tang believed that with such a million-man army by sea, land and air, he would be able to capture the entire Lusong in a short period of time and face the imperial army head-on.

Perhaps by that time, even the empire would not dare to easily go to war with Xin Lusong again.

This completely opened up the so-called island chain, and there was no longer any obstacle to going east to the ocean.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Huaidong accompanied Mr. Erte to the headquarters of the Future Science and Technology Research Institute on time.

"Dean Li is so young!"

Looking at Li Tang's young and handsome appearance, Mr. Erte held Li Tang's hand and expressed his sincere emotion.

In human society, no matter which industry, in order to achieve results, one must be of a certain age to support it.

What's more, scientists are in a profession that requires a lot of accumulated knowledge from predecessors.

There are scientists of Li Tang's age.

But there is absolutely no scientist like Li Tang who has achieved such achievements at his age!

This is what Mr. Erte lamented.

Next, Mr. Dangert followed Li Tang to visit the scientific research area, factory area, aerospace area and other places one by one.

Even though it was just a quick tour, Mr. Erte was deeply shocked.

In the unmanned factory area, a nanny-type robot that was about to be launched on the market was rolling off the production line at a rate of one every ten minutes, which simply stunned him.

So this is the power of technology!
Looking at the thousand-meter-high buildings here and the unmanned flying cars taking off and landing like bees among the buildings, Mr. Ert felt that he had found the reason for his intuition.

That marathon confrontation ended in Li Tang's hands.

As a former strong man, Mr. Erte already knows which side he should stand on in the future.

"President Li, I heard a piece of news today that Red Star Security is a PMC company founded by you. So I would like to ask, what are the conditions for hiring Red Star Security?"

Obviously, Mr. Ert is not talking about hiring a small number of Red Star security guards privately.

Li Tang looked at his face that showed he saw through everything and suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Ert asked a good question.

To be honest, no one has asked this question yet.

It is indeed conditional, and the condition is:

Only a regime that truly serves the people can employ Red Star Security!"

After listening to this, Mr. Ert pondered for a moment.

Then he stretched out his hands, held Li Tang's hands, and said, "I think we still have something in common. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate and achieve mutual benefit."

Li Tang replied calmly: "I think that as long as you are willing to stand on the side of the people and contribute to the new Lusong, you are part of the people."

"Okay, I look forward to the day when I can welcome Dean Li in my hometown!"

Mr. Walter left with a smile.

After sending Erte away, Chen Huaidong returned to the Future Science and Technology Research Institute.

"Hey, Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Huaidong said seriously, "President Li, you should have received the news, right?"

Li Tang suddenly realized, "You mean the Empire is preparing to hold a vote on Red Star Security at the UN?"

Chen Huaidong nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect them to be so deliberate."

Li Tang smiled and said, "Does the Empire still think it was when the UN was first established?"

Chen Huaidong shook his head and said: "Making a proposal here is probably just a strategy, and the real intention is probably to smear.

Regardless of whether the proposal is passed or not, in the end, within the empire’s sphere of influence, they will label Red Star Security as part of it.”

Li Tang's smile faded, and he said, "It is impolite not to reciprocate. We will also launch a proposal to define the personality of the Imperial Army.

The crimes they committed during those wars of aggression are too numerous to list.”

Chen Huaidong was stunned and said, "Good fellow, this move of yours really hits the snake at its most vulnerable part!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "No wonder Old Zhao is not anxious at all. It seems that he already knew that Dean Li could handle it calmly."

Li Tang shook his head and said, "Uncle Chen, this is not the Achilles' heel of the empire."

Chen Huaidong asked curiously, "Oh, then where is the Achilles' heel of the empire?"

Li Tang suddenly stood up and personally made a cup of coffee for Chen Huaidong.

"I know you like coffee, Uncle Chen. This is Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Try it."

Although Chen Huaidong wanted to hear Li Tang's answer right away, he waited patiently when he heard that it was Blue Mountain coffee. When the aroma of coffee hit his nose, he picked up the cup and tasted it.

"Yeah, it's really authentic!"

Putting down the cup, Chen Huaidong couldn't help but ask: "You haven't answered my question yet!"

"I didn't realize Uncle Chen was so anxious."

Li Tang laughed and his expression suddenly brightened.

Dao: “This world, from ancient times to the present, has had countless great empires and countless impregnable fortresses.

Eventually great empires crumble and impregnable fortresses are conquered, all with one thing in common.

Do you know what it is? "

Chen Huaidong pointed at Li Tang and asked, "Are you saying that the Achilles' heel of the empire lies within?"

Li Tang nodded, "Yes, it's inside."

Chen Huaidong frowned and said, "Even though there are problems with the separation of powers in the empire, the lighthouse theory still makes people believe it to some extent.

What is the fatal problem inside it?"

Li Tang said patiently: "The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. The empire has formed three worlds within it.

The first world is for the richest people, the second world is for the middle class, and the third world is for the poorest people.

The three worlds seem to be clearly separated, but once the avalanche begins, the volcanic eruption at the bottom is enough to destroy everything.

Besides, is it possible that the First World could split? "

After listening to this, Chen Huaidong thought for a moment, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that Dean Li has already understood the empire very well. If he needs our help when he slays the dragon, please feel free to ask."

Li Tang picked up the cup and drank the coffee in one gulp.

He put down the cup, reached out his hand and shook hands with Chen Huaidong.

"With Uncle Chen's full support, Li Tang will definitely become the dragon-slaying boy!"

Chen Huaidong's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Great, if I could see you return to the top of the world in my lifetime, what a grand event that would be."

Li Tang also smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, that's just the first step we've taken!"

At this moment, Chen Huaidong has already determined that Li Tang's abilities are by no means limited to science.

Starnet, [Dream Shadow] platform.

News channels have seen an endless stream of hot topics recently, overwhelming countless netizens.

The Empire CMM News Live Room is broadcasting live at this moment.

As a long-established news media that once had the greatest global influence, it eventually succumbed to the unrivaled influence and wide coverage of the Mengying platform.

We opened our own live broadcast room on the platform’s news channel.

With its strong brand effect in the Western world, it has achieved amazing results.

Every day, there are more than 5 million comments under its live news room.

“Dear viewers, this is Riva, and we have just received news from the Global Trade Headquarters that at this moment, the proposal submitted by the Maple Leaf Country is under discussion.

This proposal is aimed at the most popular [Mengying] platform.

The proposal believes that the Mengying platform is suspected of global monopoly.

There is also a situation where supervision is impossible, and the huge amount of trade on the platform cannot bring tariffs and other taxes to the country where it is located.

This situation is a completely new, unprecedented, non-traditional global trade behavior brought about by technological progress.

To this end, a unified global trade business tax should be levied on Datang Software, the operation and maintenance company of the Mengying platform.

The tax rate is initially determined to be 15% of annual turnover.

The tax could be levied by the World Trade Organization and distributed among member countries based on their trade shares.

Next, this live broadcast room has invited an expert on global trade issues..."

As soon as the news about CMM came out, it spread around the world at the speed of light.

Countless netizens flocked into the live broadcast room, sent various comments below, and quickly evolved into two distinct factions.

Supporters believe that the Maple Leaf Country’s proposals on global trade are very suitable for today’s technological development.

[Mengying] The new operating model of the platform will indeed result in the inability to collect corresponding tariffs and various taxes on consumption and income in the countries where a large number of users are located.

With the comprehensive development of the [Mengying] platform, almost all netizens on the platform can gain profits from it.

More and more netizens have discovered after receiving their income that according to the existing tax regulations in their country, that little tax is completely insignificant compared to the income they receive.

This will have an adverse impact on the countries where the netizens are located.

Therefore, netizens in favor believe that the Maple Leaf Country’s proposal is reasonable and logical considering the long-term development of the platform.

The opposition believes that the platform has already paid the corresponding taxes and fees in accordance with the laws and regulations of the country where it is currently located.

Then the World Trade Organization should no longer collect this so-called global business tax.

It is clear that various countries are jealous of the platform's profits and want to grab a piece of the pie.

In particular, this behavior will definitely lead to some countries introducing new tax laws, increasing the tax burden on netizens' earnings on the platform.

This is a blatant robbery of the interests of netizens, so this group opposes it extremely firmly.

The key point is that opposition netizens make up the majority!
Because on the [Mengying] platform, the majority of netizens earn income.

Almost 99% of netizens have made some profit on the platform to some extent.

A storm suddenly blew up on the Internet...
