Out of the cage

Chapter 1360 Chapter 27.26 Advance mod version update for “newcomers”

Since its establishment, Guantian Society has maintained a semi-economic isolation from the Federation.

In other words, ordinary people in the Guantian Community area do not use the federal currency. As for trade, it is also balanced trade. At the Huaihe River settlement port, the federal currency obtained by merchant ships transporting materials will not be deposited as foreign exchange, but various "minerals", "machinery" and other actual materials of the Star Sea Federation will be purchased immediately.

Oh, in the current global war situation, there is no such thing as "globalization". If a power cannot handle everything it needs in its own industrial industry, but relies on "other friends and businessmen around the world", that is courting death, so Guantian Society There may be some technologies that are inferior to the Federation, but there are alternatives, and in recent years, the Federation has fewer and fewer "industrial pearls".

The financial giants in the Star Sea Federation have been unable to obtain a large amount of currency in the Guantian Society and disrupt its internal economy.

The huge capital of the virtual economy outside the federation has never been able to rush in. Only corrupt individuals in Guantian Society will have the need to convert the "labor coins" in Guantian Society into federal currency.

Now, as Guantian Society has also rectified the cultural sector, it has cut off the channels for the federal capital oligarchs to "invest and influence" Guantian Society.

Note: As early as the Shenzhou plane. As the son of a capitalist family, Wei Keng knew how to make businessmen and private gentlemen angry.

The capital system needs to establish a channel to transform finance into rights. In addition to the most direct route of controlling the means of production, there are other investment methods for "unusual goods."

For example, by supporting party bosses to come to power through political donations, they can obtain administrative and legislative powers, and by investing in the media, they can obtain the "fourth power."

Now Wei Keng has broken the "thighs" of these capitals. In the capital of the Federation, here in Guantianshe, let alone walking with a limp, even climbing has to wait for the traffic lights.

…

In 2621, the Star Sea Federation needed a war against the Guantian Society politically, because federal politicians were increasingly unable to reconcile internal conflicts.

A war is also needed economically. The federal oligarchs feel that the people are becoming increasingly lazy and a war is needed to stimulate the people's labor enthusiasm.

Culturally, the literati now also feel that their self-esteem has been damaged, and they have begun to demand the overthrow of the concept of nature and the suppression of "cultural freedom".

But only in terms of military matters, the Star Sea Federation soldiers are very rational. Despite their latest grant from the Confederation, the Armada continues to grow.

The war between the Fire and the Federation eight years ago had just ended, and the year before last they had successfully attacked the Lunar Pioneer Omnic.

The Federation's increasingly bellicose military seems to be "invincible and begging for war," but in reality it is studying what kind of opponent would be a good medal of merit.

This is the greatest hypocrisy of the "warlike" Star Sea Federation military.

In the ancient industrial era, the Japanese Imperial Army at the beginning of World War II had no plans to directly challenge the United States and the Soviet Union.

These people were all trying to defeat the soft persimmons of non-industrial countries, but neither the sea nor the land expected that not only would they find opponents to fight, but the United States and the Soviet Union would also choose them to fight.

The high-level federal military officials' statements towards Guantian Society were the most conservative and cautious among the high-level federal officials.

But it cannot stand the bottom-up mood of the military at this time. If everyone is a drop of water, the long-term "madness" has made the "water temperature" boil, and everything in the water will be cooked. The bottom officers are in the federal public opinion. Stimulated by the information, they begin to become agitated. If the superiors try to "appease", they will be regarded as incompetent.

Narrator: Leading a group of people is hard, but leading a group of irrational people with guns is a high-risk job.

…

In 2622, at the Cairo Conference, the federal military issued a massive equipment requirement to federal politicians after submitting a military assessment report.

Of course, federal soldiers will not say "they can't do it", but they will use another method to make the federation retreat in spite of difficulties.

The report requires space-based ion cannons, armored cores, shaped energy tanks, Poseidon ice tanks and other armed equipment.

The scale of these military purchases is so large that the military believes that it is impossible for the federal government to fully fund them.

In the building of the General Defense Department, the generals spoke in an expert tone to the high-level bureaucrats who came to inspect: "Before artificial intelligence became independent, it still taught the federation a lesson. We must be cautious when facing the enemy."

In the past, politicians used to educate soldiers on how to "obey the overall situation". Today, soldiers are "using professional experience" to carry weapons and sticks. Naturally, this has caused considerable dissatisfaction among politicians.

Since the Secret Service Rebellion, politicians who are afraid of death have begun a stress reaction and have distrusted members of the military.

Federal politicians have no sense of responsibility to resolve conflicts. The newly established intelligence organization "Global Special Investigation Team" has recently set off an atmosphere of blue terror. Still using more high-pressure policies to ensure that they are at an advantage in conflicts!

Federal politicians first asked all agents wearing electronic communication rings to stand on standby after receiving orders to check the procedures of the mechanical collars around their necks. Then, by investigating (fabricating) evidence, they "maintained stability" (purged) one by one and eliminated unscrupulous members of the army. A stable (disloyal) person.

However, any top-down policy will be subject to “increased implementation”.

Because the party that formulates the policy itself does not consider resolving the conflict, but only wants to satisfy itself as the dominant party.

Beginning in 2022, after a major review, a large number of federal agents were imprisoned in prisoner-of-war prisons.

This caused more agents to start defecting and fleeing towards the northern "Silicon Heart Society". This led to a further purge in the Star Sea Federation, which expanded to include military personnel who were sympathetic to agents. Thousands of officers have been dismissed. This kind of dismissal is not only "disloyal" officers, but also eliminates the grassroots who have opinions that are to the left of the federal center, but are objective, rational and capable.

The "military integration" carried out by the Star Sea Federation under the serious background of "faction struggle" reported that "the effect is remarkable", but in fact, except for the "Fleet Faction", other military services have gone through a round of "removing the best and retaining the bad". Many People with connections but no talent or incompetence in military command will retain their positions during this wave.

A few well-reputed officers, such as Spike, in turn denounced the federation's gross interference in the military. The federal politicians could not directly "permanently deal with" this over-prestigious army officer, so they could only adopt a cold storage system and arrange for the district to deal with some miscellaneous matters. thing

… Humanity’s complex political struggles have not changed from wearing animal skins and living in wooden houses to now in the gilded information halls.

After 2623, as more and more agents rebelled, the rational faction of the Star Sea Federation military tried to ease the conflicts, and some military representatives entered into dialogue with the "Silicon Heart Society" in the Arctic Circle.

So somewhere in the North Caucasus, as the helicopter landed, Wei Keng (Wen San) met Spike, the protagonist of this timeline.

In the first sentence of the meeting, Wei Keng was direct and high-sounding: "It is about the destiny of mankind. I am very happy to meet you."

Spike: "Are you still willing to fight for humanity?"

Wei Keng also used "lies" to counter Spike's lies.

Wei Keng: "We have always fought for humanity."

Wei Keng turned to the recorder in the other direction (one of his own) and said: "For the sake of human beings, we should be fair and aboveboard, instead of using dirty means to coerce and then package it to look like a human being."

The big words spoken to Spike were then translated "truthfully" to his own people in person, making the meeting full of black humor.

At the same time, Silicon Heart Society's ace agent (Wen San) fired a blue light pointing in a certain direction, and Lilith, who was hiding with a gun 400 meters away, was forced to appear.

A few minutes after the meeting began, the Star Sea Federation ace agent was forced to be invited (captured) to the meeting site. It seemed that he did not hear the sarcasm of Wei Keng's previous words.

Lilith: "When did you notice me around?"

Wen San (Wei Keng) smiled: "Of course you have to practice your eating skills." He glanced at Lilith, which showed that she was not yet good at the "agent field".

Wen San (Wei Keng) is a two-stage body fixation technique (this stage is the internal nanorobots calibrating various time and space precision in the body to nanosecond and nanometer levels). Both movement and perception have surpassed Lilith by several levels.

The record officer of the Silicon Heart Society (Qian Ruirui) on the side said to Spike again: "Your Excellency is a soldier. Please give me a clear answer. Can the federal military rehabilitate us immediately?"

Please note that Wei Keng said he was rehabilitated immediately, rather than waiting for Spike to issue a bad check to "help the agents rehabilitate, but the agents must obey orders and fight for the Star Sea Federation."

This kind of empty promise is common in Hollywood movies. The protagonist is on loan to an outside force, because Mediterranean Greek mythology is full of successful adventures involving stealing, making promises, and then going back on them.

Spike's plan was revealed: "What will you do if I don't agree?"

Wei Keng smiled and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to respond, but when he opened his mouth, he said: "No comment."

Wei Keng knew the psychological bottom line of both parties in this negotiation. The bottom line that the other party would not tolerate was for Silicon Heart Society's agents to join Xinhuo. This was what Spike could not tolerate the most. The bottom line for the military rationalists like Spike to make compromises is that Silicon Heart Society remains neutral!

Wei Keng's Psychology: So, from my (Silicon Heart Society) standpoint, of course, I am maximizing interests and using uncertainty and neutrality to obtain the greatest interests. I am not forgetting my duty for small gains, you (Federation) There is no such thing as righteousness now. If I talk about righteousness with you, I will be exploited and no bones or dregs will be left.

Spike had a big head at this time, and the "aloof" expression of the person in charge of the Silicon Heart Society made his blood pressure rise.

After several rounds of testing, Wei Keng still gave Spike a slippery answer, which made Spike break his guard. The iron-blooded soldier stared at Wei Keng and warned word by word: "I hope you will seriously consider your position and do not fight against the Federation." enemy".

Wei Keng responded with a sarcastic smile: "I will seriously consider it and will not be deceived by the lies of hypocrites. Of course, I will re-judge justice."

Spike finally left. Regarding whether to kill the leader of the Silicon Heart Society, he hesitated again and again before issuing the order to "break the cup as a sign" and jump over the Star Shield armored force.

In the eyes of federal rational politicians, the outcome of this meeting is that Silicon Heart Society will not move closer to the Xinhuo Group. This was accomplished under the threat of the federal fleet. But from another perspective, the Silicon Heart Society did not return to the Federation, so the Federation's already poor combat reconnaissance force had to be restrained in the direction of North Asia.

Oh, Xinhuo is also restrained, but Xinhuo is rich in cultivating combat scouts. Therefore, Xinhuo consolidated its advantage over the Federation on a level basis. "

Silicon Heart Society follows the human foundation route, so its ideological system corresponds to the "freedom without bottom line" of the Star Sea Federation.

"Wen San" did some things in Silicon Heart Society that were not in line with the values ​​of the Federation. For example, the federation banned the stimulants commonly used by the Marine Corps, and at the same time strictly cracked down on the military bar economy and changed it to a study club.

Collectively, they learn aircraft driving, car maintenance, and battlefield explosive disposal, skills that may be useful in the future.

And a matching set of digital alloy colonial equipment is integrated into the "promotion" system.

The core behind this system is the "body fixation technique". The body develops and adjusts healthily, and each biological clock cycle is normal and stable. ——This system is used as an important criterion for promotion in assessment.

The "rebellion agents" who were once in chaos have begun to enter the arranged development track, which is already settled in people's minds.

If the Silicon Heart Society in 2620 was a start-up, as long as there were politicians in the Federal Group who were willing to skillfully use both kindness and power, the Silicon Heart Society, which was hastily gathered at that time, could collapse.

Now that there is an organizational team in place, the Federation can no longer use petty profits to buy off important figures to undermine the cohesion of the Silicon Heart Society!

Although the scale of Silicon Heart Society's land warfare military machinery in 2022 is still about 50,000 tons, what is immeasurable behind the armaments is the determination of a team. Wen San's prestige has already convinced hundreds of people from the early days of simply "conquering people with virtue" Unity has transformed into "building law through virtue" and established organizational rules for hundreds of thousands of people to work together in an orderly manner.

Wei Keng showed the conversation between himself and Spike to everyone, after it was played. At this time, an agent tried: "Warmaster, we should implement the plan to cooperate with Spike!"

Wei Keng likes to talk freely with his companions about this matter: "Why?"

The agent: "This may be our only way back to the Federation."

At this time, others did not fully agree. It is obvious that the "earliest group of agents" within the Silicon Heart Society wanted to accept Zhao'an's philosophy, but it was becoming increasingly weak.

Wei Keng did not directly refute the subordinate, but tried to follow his meaning: "So, people have to bow their heads under the eaves." The first sentence was about lamenting that he was under pressure from the Star Sea Federation, but then Wei Keng's tone became louder: "I can't keep my head down forever!"

Wei Keng opened a history book and pointed out a famous general. Wu Qi has always been a fringe figure in the aristocracy. Every time he wants to integrate into the center, no matter what the cost, he ends up being ostracized.

Even if he achieved something, he was still ridiculed because of his stain when he committed himself to integration. He served as a general in the state of Lu. As a result, the state of Lu was attacked by the state of Qi. The king of Lu did not trust him because his wife was from the state of Qi. However, for the sake of the state of Lu, After killing his wife to express his loyalty, he gained the right to lead the army. After defeating Qi, he was ridiculed by the people of Lu for his talent but no virtue.

He helped the Wei State reform, pushed the Qin State head-on, and allowed the Wei State to reach its peak, but in the end, it was squeezed out. He came to the Chu State to carry out reforms and strengthened the Chu State. However, when the King of Chu who supported him died, he was blocked and shot to death by the nobles of the Chu State.

Wei Keng used Wu Qi's example to name the current situation of the agents.

If you keep accommodating an arrogant group in order to "fit in", then even if you spend your whole life trying to integrate, it will be a naked tragedy.

Wei Keng knows: At present, the foundation of Silicon Heart Society is still very weak, and the higher the senior management of Silicon Heart Society, the more uncertain the future becomes. Just like Liangshan Park, it is good, but a considerable number of people who are forced to go up the mountain are thinking about when the "mountain" will collapse.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Keng directly brought this issue to the forefront and began to discuss it. If Silicon Heart returns to the Federation, can the Federation really accept it? If Silicon Heart Society chooses to go it alone, what strategy should be implemented to turn insects into dragons in these troubled times.

As the venue's eye-catcher, Qian Ruirui opened the map of the Arctic Ocean that had been prepared and took out the "Longzhong Pair" in this troubled world.

Wen San (Wei Keng) walked in front of the map: "Next, we will join whoever fights for us. This fight must respect us equally and treat us as one of our own."

Narrator: Wei Keng from Guantian Society also feels that Xinhuo and Silicon Heart Society are not suitable to merge at the moment.

Wei Keng: Because only when comrades and people from the same standpoint join, one plus one is greater than two, and when people who seem to be in harmony but apart from each other join, they will eventually become that "unbreakable" alliance.

Instead of letting a weak class seeking asylum hold a red flag, it is better to cooperate with a "blue flag" party that has its own strategic goals and persistence, learn from each other, and witness history.

Wei Keng from Guantian Society has already said hello to Mi Zaoyi (through the question). The existence of the Silicon Heart Society is a leak valve for the inflatable giant of the Federation, and it is not something we want to eat.

Now the number of federal agents imprisoned in the "concentration camp" model has reached almost tens of thousands, and the number of people who have been treated unfairly and suspiciously has reached one million. Their positions are all so-called "middle class". Because they were looked down upon by Guantianshe before, Once this first impression is formed, it is difficult to change.

Wei Keng: If we create a concept of "under the capital system, Silicon Heart Society seizes the internal power of the Star Sea Federation"! These self-proclaimed middle-class factions have a new choice.

…The perspective comes to another time traveler…

Qian Ruirui, the other half who was captured after the Battle of the Moon, has now joined the "Bu Tianxin" camp, but is temporarily separated from Qian Mumu. This way, keeping a distance first will help eliminate the "obsession" after two points, and the mission will be over. Post-will fusion.

After being arranged to join the Silicon Heart Society, she felt her amateurishness after learning about Wei Keng's various arrangements.

Wei Keng’s arrangement for Qian Ruirui: Your mission to Silicon Heart Society is to use the shell of Silicon Heart Society to carry out "core replacement" for the Star Sea Federation, that is, through armed and military means, the assets of the Star Sea Federation can be recovered after the collapse of the Star Sea Federation. On the Silicon Heart Society side.

Qian Ruirui was curious: Well, Silicon Heart Society has become stronger, will it pose a threat to Guantian Society?

Wei Keng: History is not completed in one step. Guantian Society also needs a process to prove that it is correct. The current goal is to break the myth that the Star Sea Federation is too big to fail, and to give 90% of the people in the Star Sea Federation a choice that "the Federation can fall."

Qian Ruirui's eyes moved slightly as he thought about it! ——Before the Fifth Plane War, the vast land seemed too big to collapse.

Note: Wei Keng has arranged for the time-travelers to take refuge, so he is not on guard and has shared technology and strategies. ——And this is a step ahead, coinciding with the task of where the "new travelers" will come from Haotu (He Chongyun) after the constant fluctuation.

[Wei Keng's substitution (coming soon) Perspectives of new time travellers: If a version or mod is better than the original version, how many people will stick to the original version? 】

When walking into the North Asia base, Qian Ruirui started the "silicon-based fusion" experiment for the first time. When the molten inorganic matter merged into the flame, she completed the "digital evolution". After sensing the vitality of this mechanical body, she nodded silently, confirming that it was more advanced than her own and had far fewer side effects.

Three hours later, she activated the "Haotu System" that had been put on hold in her consciousness for a long time and sent a message to Li Mengtong, who was squatting in front of the "Time and Space Summoning" ceremony, "Vote, the gap is too big."
