Out of the cage

In 2625, in the Indian Thousand Islands area, a mineral mining base with Taiwanese federal characteristics was extracting sufficient energy on the equator. But this is not the Star Sea Federation, but the "Silicon Heart Society".

At this time, the Silicon Heart Society was able to suddenly expand from the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean because it received the support of the "Guantian Society" and the capital transfer of the Star Sea Federation.

Guantianshe gave up the development of the surrounding ocean to the Silicon Heart Association. And this kind of transfer also allowed East Asia's "market culture" to move south like swallows and find a habitat geographically.

Wei Keng: What an industrialized force needs is security. In fact, it is difficult to worry about the development of surrounding areas. Just like people who engage in technology are often obsessed with technology and ignore market channels.

When the technical department is unable to face many unreliable requirements from Party A (beyond the achievable scope of current technology), then the technical department needs to find a reliable sales department to "teach" and guide Party A to keep up with the trend. Learn to apply new technologies

Obviously the Star Sea Federation is not a reliable sales department for Guantianshe's industry.

The Star Sea Alliance cannot properly implement strategic security, and at the same time, it has no B numbers and wants to eat more and occupy more.

Therefore, it is natural to "support" the Silicon Heart Association on the Maritime and Overland Silk Roads.

As a rising bourgeois alliance, Silicon Heart will show more efficient actions compared to the Star Alliance.

For the people of Yadong who have formed a petty bourgeoisie mentality during the three hundred years of commercial education in the Star Sea Federation, the so-called loyalty to their country is like a player's love for a server.

But when an old server becomes unplayable, find a new one.

Historically, the first bank was opened in the Netherlands and the earliest international capital was born. This capital was transferred to the United Kingdom and then to the United States.

At present, the Silicon Heart Association is urging "capital" to transform in these troubled times.

Narrator: As long as there is "comparison, vanity, consumerism" philistinism (petty bourgeoisism), capital will definitely exist. Where there are sheep, there will be shepherds.

Wei Keng: Capital will always exist in human history, but just like fights, it will no longer be seen in the selection of power competition (the tribal chieftain battle in the Black Panther movie), but it will not disappear from the streets. As society progresses It’s just that the old values ​​gradually withdrew from the temple and remained only on the fringes of society. ——Just like the dog-butchers in the Han Dynasty could be prime ministers, but in modern times Liu Huaqiang can only chop melons on the street.

Therefore: Capital will lose its command over core industries, but will continue to play a role in peripheral areas.

A time traveler like Qian Ruirui was initially puzzled by Wei Keng's "horizontal position" in this plane. Because Wei Keng was engaged in revolution, but he also tried every means to preserve the family. But later he realized that Wei Keng was engaged in revolution after all, but the method of "garbage classification" in each era was very complicated.

Mr. Wei lamented about this: "These time-travelers who have traveled nearly a hundred times but never completed a thorough transformation will never know what is the most fundamental force of historical progress."

Even if these new generation consciousnesses are "attached to things", they cannot achieve revolution by using "special materials" to isolate them from the corrosion of the old era, and they are not clear about what most people are conservative about.

Since ancient times, peasant uprisings have been caused by a lack of knowledge. Master Wei thought he was weak, but now it is these new generations who claim to be "modern" who lack knowledge.

…The perspective switches to the eight traversers with their bases…

Now these time travelers are quite depressed. When Xinhuo and the old forces are fighting for hegemony, the aristocratic families in the Star Sea Federation are looking for investors to invest with useful assets, but no one is investing in them!

Even the aristocratic families in the empire tend to go to the free ports of the "Silicon Heart Society" where high-value technology and personnel assets are located during the smuggling process, rather than the "Third World" black ports where new travelers are located.

The eight time travelers began to open the port, always looking for support from outside forces.

All this is just like the young people who just entered society in modern times and wanted to do big business and make a lot of money. They were too naive.

The few external merchants who trade with them only import raw materials, then dump ordinary products, and occasionally transport machinery for mining, and that's it.

Note: The time-travelers transported by He Chong are more or less too dependent on various "auxiliary functions" of the system.

The system will help them find their first pot of gold. It followed the "Meiji Restoration"-style path of soaring to the sky.

But now in the plane war with the veteran Wei Keng, all the world's cause and effect are blocked. But there is no such thing as a pie from the sky.

Now these travelers suddenly face hellish difficulties, such as in the 21st century, after countries like Persia were constantly sanctioned during their development. With no capital and no technical talent to be attracted by their domineering spirit, they have been marching in misery.

In 2625, Wei Keng saw how miserable those travelers in North America were, and couldn't help but use dimensional information to warn them: "Be honest and pragmatic to accumulate technology, and do things patiently."

But these words sounded unflattering to the ears of Wang Gan and other time-travelers. These time-travelers are still waiting for "time to come" and get the first pot of gold to survive the painful period of starting a business.

Wei Keng was suddenly a little confused. Are these little fools that He Chongyun found really coming to stop the plane war?

All of them have high ambitions but low ambitions, and have no patience themselves. They try to control others through "greedy" control and command others to help you patiently complete the industrial construction.

Wei Keng "accidentally" lamented in front of Qian Ruirui: He didn't have the patience to lead by example. If you don’t have a speculative vision and the courage to cross the border, and you don’t have an inheritance, don’t blame yourself for not being able to appreciate your talents. The more you think like this, the easier it is to be hung up and harvested like leeks.

When Qian Ruirui heard this, he looked innocent but actually asked Wei Keng secretly: "So in terms of time travel accumulation, which one are you?"

Mr. Wei looked at her with a smile and said the answer that stifled her: "I have an inheritance. I am a second generation. When I first entered the plane, my family helped me, and the supervisor who was responsible for the assistance took special care of me. .Oh, my old classmate Qin seems to have started from scratch."

Before Wei Keng could say more arrogant words to show off, Qian Ruirui hung up directly.

She originally wanted to remind Wei Keng that times have changed and struggles have changed. But Wei Keng directly said, "I didn't struggle in the early days."

It confirms the saying "As long as I am shameless, others will retreat."

But on the other hand: "The more you want to show off, the less you feel, and the more you dare to self-destruct, which shows that you have full confidence."

Qian Ruirui returned to the Silicon Heart Association. Although he was disgusted, he still listened.

Even if you want to be a capitalist, you still have to be a qualified capitalist. You have to work hard to allocate resources and control contradictions in the capital system. Don't expect to use feudal hereditary methods to solve problems.

…

After 2626, there was a safe and stable environment in both the north and the south. Guantian Society began to squander the strategic resources it had now and began to decipher the Star Sea Federation technology in all aspects.

The first was the Glory battleship. After it was captured, the scientific research team organized by Guantian Society dismantled the missile launch system. Various weapons systems were loaded for experimentation.

The beam cannon of the ground-based energy-gathering tank was installed on the battleship. At the same time, the Poseidon ice cannon was transferred in, and a variety of "Glory modified" battleships were developed, with letters ranging from a to n.

At the end of 2626, Wei Keng gave his last strategic speech to the students who were already generals and marshals: "We are now invincible in the war, not because we are strong, but because we have always had a stable strategy.

A country's power is accumulated under a stable strategy. If there are differences in the strategy, no matter how strong the power is, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of wrong strategies for decades. "

Wei Keng slid his finger to the World Island: "The next strategy remains unchanged. We still need to open up the transportation lines of Eurasia. Then establish a safe area in the surrounding waters. As for the World Island, leave it to other partners (Silicon Heart) Society and other time-traveling forces)"

Mahan's Theory of Sea Power: A country cannot focus on land and sea at the same time. This seems to be talking about the military, but behind the military is "economics and politics." ——The division of military expansion into two ends depends not only on the cost of industrial production, but also on the costs caused by the economic, political, and cultural differences behind the military.

Before the Second World War, although the United States had enough industrial power to be powerful on both land and sea, it always suppressed the army. The military-industrial-economic complex came to power and political forces were unprecedentedly united. However, this changed after the 20th century. The military-industrial complex actually split into two. Fifty years later, the donkey and the elephant started a rare party struggle in history because of their different fundamentals.

Many empires in history have made this mistake, a multi-headed snake, with several heads competing for the nutritional supply of a set of organs.

Wei Keng and Zhu Xiaoyan of "Bu Tian Xin" left their last words before leaving: "Soldiers are evil, and saints do it as a last resort."

…Wei Keng is gone, but not completely gone…

At this time, the Silicon Heart Association, as the fifth pole in the world, also started "pragmatic strategic cooperation" under the leadership of Wen San.

The Silicon Heart Association complied with "strategic focus". First, the army system was downgraded, which reduced the military hydra element and reduced the possibility of confrontation with all parties on land.

Silicon Heart Society's military construction is centered on the floating fleet, establishing a military team capable of external projection.

The army system has been streamlined, maintaining only eight divisions, a total of 5,000 medium-sized vehicles (Charged Energy, Poseidon), and 500 Star Shield heavy robots.

In 27, Wen San placed his finger on the Malacca area on the map.

Since Silicon Heart Society is the fulcrum of "liberalism" in the Eastern Hemisphere, Wen San received a secret phone call from the Speaker of the Star Sea Parliament ten minutes ago.

Of course Wen San also knew that the Speaker had just held a "Free Star" meeting in Europe a few hours before meeting him. The cautious Wen San could remember that he did not bring him to that meeting. Therefore, the "shared values" that the Star Sea Federation talks about now are by no means regarding Silicon Heart Society as one of its own.

Wen San: Since you treat me as a mistress, I will treat you as a spare tire.

The Star Ocean Federation is waiting for the Silicon Heart Association to backfire and join their "Global Alliance". They look forward to it eagerly and hold it in their words.

As the controller of the Silicon Heart Society, Wen San is very shady.

Wen San taught Qian Ruirui: Today the politicians of the Star Sea Federation are saying flattering words, but if they don’t agree with them tomorrow, they will change it to bad words and threats tomorrow. Therefore, we cannot rely on these "Westerners" in everything. Instead, show the possibility of "possible cooperation" and dangle them. Try to take advantage of it.

This year, Wen San also joined in the fun and sent blessings to the marriage of Spike and Lilith, the protagonists of this plane's plot.

After consulting the aristocratic culture of Qian Ruirui's world, Mr. Wei chose to hand-make a necklace of five hundred gemstones and jewelry, making a fuss. On the gold shop operating platform, Qian Ruirui saw Wei Keng's gold wire hollowing craftsmanship and felt baffled. This was the first time she had seen a time traveler with such unsophisticated craftsmanship.

At this time, Silicon Heart will have both sides, but Wen San has already set his sights on the enemy.

No, the Asura mastermind in Antarctica is always threatening the back of Silicon Heart Society. This thorn had to be pulled out. The pioneers on the other side of the moon are also preparing for the final blow.

Wei Keng's goal to destroy in this plane has never changed, which is omnics.

Wei Keng: The omnic’s butt is equal to He Chongyun’s face, so kicking the omnic’s butt is equivalent to beating He Chongyun’s, um, glassy heart.
