Chapter 194: Imperialism
Gu Hanhan carried a few strange-looking fruits (from the kitchen of Navia's house) and a bouquet of flowers (picked from Navia's garden) and ran to visit Rosie's bedside. Rosie was very surprised by Gu Hanhan's visit, sat up from the hospital bed, and was enthusiastically "forced" by Gu Hanhan to eat a Tianxing fruit that she didn't like to eat, and under Gu Hanhan's expectant gaze, she interpreted the current situation in Dongdan for her.
"I dare not say how he came to judge, Your Excellency Anthony, but since you must ask, I can only tell you a little of my modest opinion on the matter. Rosie showed a thoughtful look on the one hand, and said to Gu Hanhan on the other, "It is indeed possible for Dongdan to end up in peace. Regardless of the subsequent reaction of the Lanthanum Exporting Countries or other countries, the key to the future of Dongdan will always be Dongdan - don't you understand? Hmm, why don't I give you an analogy, Miss Gu, that might make it easier for you to understand......
"Why do you call me Miss Gu again?" Gu Hanhan looked at Rosie a little strangely and said, "You are so polite today, Uncle Rosie, you come and go when you speak." It can't be that you want to draw a line with me, right? So your man's feelings are really unreliable, last night he kept saying that he wanted to talk about some feelings beyond the ordinary healing relationship, and when I slept today, I wanted to clear it up, but fortunately I didn't promise you yesterday - I'm having trouble breaking up with Anthony, and I can't afford your second blow, uncle!"
Rosie was very embarrassed and explained: "I'm sorry, I'm just used to it, of course I didn't want to ...... with you I just thank you for saving me yesterday and can't thank you enough......"
"Hey, you didn't save me before. Didn't you say it, the revolutionary friendship between the two of us fighting together and squatting together will never fade!" Gu Hanhan waved his hand and said, "What did you just say you wanted to fight?"
So Rosie asked, "Have you ever seen gambling, Han...... Hanhan?" When Gu Hanhan's name was called, Luo Xi felt very awkward in his heart, and he only let out his heart and call out. After calling it, he realized that the original feeling of calling the goddess's name was so exciting, the pleasure was almost more enjoyable than smoking high-intensity hallucinogens, as if an electric current sparked from the grooves of his brain, spread on the scalp, and then passed down the spine, and finally pierced the heart in one fell swoop.
However, Gu Hanhan didn't hear the special pleasure of infinite contradictions on the spiritual level in Rossi's words because of the blasphemy of the goddess, as soon as she heard the word "gambling", she said excitedly: "I've seen it, I've seen it, I've also gambled myself, and I won such a big bag of banknotes and poured it." She gestured in her hand, and then suddenly deflated: "But I will win if Anthony cheats." β
Rosie smiled slightly, the scene many days ago, and what he had said in conversation with Anderson at that time, was really ...... Rosie shook his head, and secretly wished in his heart the good luck of Young Master Navia, who wanted to have a relationship with the future goddess from beginning to end, tirelessly, and without regrets.
"A speculative businessman and a natural gambler, Anderson was in the nick of who was the most important person from the start. β
Rosie thought so and said to Gu Hanhan-
"The universe is now like a gambling table, where Mars and Elan are gamblers sitting at the table facing each other, and other countries are following the banker, and Dondan is the head of the gamble. Rosie patiently explained to Gu Hanhan, "Originally, the cards in the hands of these two gamblers were detained, and they didn't know the details of each other, so they could fight wits and courage and then divide the winners and losers." But when the goddess of the earth and the goddess of darkness came at the same time, and Lord Maximilian followed the sand star that Lord Leonid appeared, it was equivalent to just halfway through the bet, and before the battle of wits and courage began, the final hole cards of both sides were opened at the same time. At the gaming table this is called dry staring, than size. If you are bigger, you can win, and if you are smaller, you can only lose. When each other opens the hole cards but is on par, they can't compare the size. Then, either flip the table, knock over the lottery and no one wins, or simply make a difference, and take out the lottery and everyone will share a point. β
"If Mars and Elam flip the table, they will have to fight a space war. The cosmic war is not so easy to fight, and it is inevitable that the Lanthanum Crystal Exporting Countries Organization will engage in sanctions in the open and make small moves in secret, and maybe if it can't be fought in the end, it will be a lose-lose situation, and no one will be able to get the ending of Dongdan. Since it is possible to be busy in vain, why do Mars and Elam still have to turn the table? Take a step back, the sea and the sky, each side take a step back, and simply join forces to force Dongdan to withdraw from the Organization of Lanthanum Exporting Countries and become a free trade zone. After Dongdan is not subject to energy quotas, if you want to buy energy, you can buy it with money. If the fleet war is not easy to fight, there is a risk of causing a space war and becoming a public enemy of mankind, and economic war is not easy to fight?"
"Anyway, I've already sent troops, and I don't care about tearing up my face with the lanthanum crystal exporting country organization. As long as we make a posture of pressing step by step, the Lanthanum Crystal Exporting Countries Organization, which is accustomed to pulling one by one, cannot fight against the two poles of the universe at the same time after all, and sooner or later abandon the pawn to protect the commander, and keep the existing energy system at the cost of giving up Dongdan. And, you have to know, the Organization of Lanthanum Exporting Countries is a lot of countries after all. Dongdan has become a free trade zone, which means that many powerful countries can get a piece of the pie. As long as you can still eat a bite of Dongdan's meat, even if it is cold burned, you won't really want to lift the meat into the soil. The only proletariat willing to risk its life to flip the table is the have-nothing proletariat. The free trade zone is both the beginning and the end, and will eventually become the best result of the compromise between the various forces on the Dongtan incident. β
"Politics itself is the art of compromise, and many times engaging in politics is bribery. Both Mistress Maximilian and Mistress Leonid had a large number of political advisers under them, and they knew very well where the balance of compromise was. So throw it out at the beginning, and no matter how things develop after that, it will eventually return to the intended track. If you don't have complete certainty, the resolution of the Great Council of Dongdan will not be like this. β
"It's complicated, but I can barely get it. Uncle Rosie, you speak much more clearly than Anthony. Gu Hanhan nodded, and then asked, "Then did they also bribe the black-hearted capitalists by the way." I feel as if they have been blessed by misfortune, and they will be able to make black money in the future?"
"Dongdan's energy family has indeed won an unprecedented opportunity, but ......" Rosie smiled slightly and asked, "Hanhan, do you know what imperialism is?"
"I know," Gu Hanhan thought for a moment, "The ship's guns are in front, and the gold dollar bills are behind." β
"Isn't this obvious?" Rossi looked at Gu Hanhan and said, "Mars and Elam's fleet will not come in vain. They will certainly adopt a soft policy towards Dongdan's energy consortium in the hope that they will cooperate as much as possible, but they should not forget to put a chain on the dog. Even simply setting up a checkpoint at a route jump point can get stuck in the neck of the Todan energy family. I think that all powerful countries will look for agents from the Dongdan energy aristocracy. Perhaps, in the future, the energy consortium that cannot find a backer will not be able to continue to survive in Dongdan. β
"So that's the case," Gu Hanhan nodded, "That IOU artist is really unlucky, if you can't find a strong backer in the future, won't you have a good life?"
"IOU artist?" asked Rosie, puzzled, "Anderson, why do you call him an IOU artist?"
"Because I gave Ms. Li Shufen and Professor Gu, they are my parents, and the trust fund I gave them lost all their money in the lanthanum crystal crash he made on the first day of entering the market. Gu Hanhan said a little depressedly, "But now that he has to be a dog, I'm embarrassed to ask him for the 20 million again, and I have to deal with bad debts." β
Then Gu Hanhan suddenly reacted: No wonder Anthony claimed to be looking for an opportunity, but after returning from the council, he stayed and quarreled with me all day long, doing nothing, and waiting for the IOU artist here?
"But is he a big backer? Anthony is so sure that the IOU artist will join him?" Gu Hanhan thought with some suspicion. At noon, after the Great Council had ended, the IOU artist had returned once, but had left in a hurry. The father of the IOU artist who was dying of illness once again expressed his desire to meet Anthony, but Anthony directly refused.
"If it's because of the council, it doesn't have to," Anthony said at the time, "and you should be glad for it." β
"What did Anthony do in the Great Council?" Gu Hanhan thought silently, "What role did he play in the affairs of Dongdan? It is impossible for him to go to the Council without a purpose, and the purpose has been achieved by looking at him." It can't be for the IOU artist, but for what? Why won't he sue me......"
"Hanhan, what are you thinking?"
Rosie's voice sounded in his ears, and Gu Hanhan came back to his senses: "Uncle Rosie, you said that the handsome guy marshal and the gambler are good, why did you suddenly lift the hole cards?"
Of course it's because of you?" Rosie thought to himself, so he smiled at Gu Hanhan implicitly: I can't guess this, maybe you can ask Your Excellency Anthony.
"You suspect that he has anything to do with this, and I doubt it to you. However, ...... "When I remembered that I was stunned by the pit, Rosie was almost killed by the pit, and Anthony, the initiator, was not missing a single hair, Gu Hanhan was angry, and he was really unwilling to bow his head and admit defeat.
In the evening, Gu Hanhan finally figured out some of what Anthony was doing in parliament and why the sick ghost father of the IOU artist must want to see him.
These black-hearted capitalists!
Halfway through the dinner, a whole division of Mars soldiers rushed into the courtyard of Navia's house, and Ning He, dressed in military uniform and carrying the epaulettes of a major general on his shoulders, walked in from among the soldiers in the line.
The former foreman of the cowherd shop smiled very gently, but the words he said were particularly eerie.
ββThe Guards found the bodies of several superpowered people in the city hall of Shaxing, and after investigation, they suspected that they were the dead soldiers who infiltrated the council hall with the intention of assassinating the goddess and the knight under the control of some energy consortium in Dongdan. Therefore, he ordered to investigate all the superpowers in Sand Star, especially those hidden in the Dongdan Energy family manor.
