As we all know, on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, in fact, the entire capitalist camp was brewing an economic crisis, which is very likely to be the largest in history, and the unemployment rate in all the major capitalist countries had already exceeded 15 percent.

Although some people say that there are state assassins, professionals commanded by the capital group, who helped the capitalist camp to rob a large amount of the wealth accumulated by the Warsaw Pact camp in the past half century, so that the capitalist camp can save itself with funds and market space, in fact, it is important to know that the unemployment rate of the capitalist camp actually began to decline only ninety-three years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

This is not the delayed effect of capital investment, but the reason why some first-class secret science and technology controlled by the military can freely enter the civilian market, and in 93, with INDOS, with the first generation of web browsers, with Intel's epoch-making Pentium processor, the entire electronic communications industry, The unprecedented lifting of technological restrictions on telecommunications and semiconductors, the rapid entry into the civilian sector of a large number of electronic technologies originally developed for military purposes, and the massive capital investment plundered from the Warsaw Pact camp enabled the capitalist camp to survive an economic crisis that could almost trigger World War III.

However, with the development of new technology industries such as electronics, the Internet, and communications, the bubble appeared again, and there was the well-known economic crisis of '98 -- yes, on the surface, it was a dead dog for Asian lackeys by European and American capital forces, but in fact it was an inevitable choice made to make up for the Internet bubble.

But the problem is that the Internet bubble is obviously more harmful to the emerging economy and business structure than all traditional economists predicted, because the lifting of the technological ban has not only brought convenience to people in the field of communication and information processing, but also brought the capitalists something that they could have dreamed of, no matter how they exploited it, and there was no problem with it—a comprehensive and rapid upgrade of automation technology.

As a result, with the bursting of the dot-com bubble and the replacement of manufacturing jobs by automation, as well as the now equally well-known industrial relocation, unemployment in the capitalist bloc countries began to rise sharply again.

As I said before, the boom before the subprime mortgage crisis that began in 2008 was based on the accelerated collapse of the Internet bubble, forcing capital to find a new way out, and then prompting the insurance and financial industries to begin to expand viciously, that is, in essence, after the 911 incident, the absolute value created by human labor in the entire capitalist country showed a negative growth trend. In other words, the prosperity of the financial and insurance industries is, in fact, an excessive consumption of the total value created by the workers of society.

However, don't forget the value generated by the rapid upgrading of automation technology, due to the increasing degree of automation in the manufacturing industry, so that the value generated by the manufacturing industry in the capitalist countries has nothing to do with many workers - yes, even if you can work, but you are no longer needed, because you workers have created automation, oh yes, there are still people who have put forward a ranking for this, what is it called? Technical unemployment? Well, technical, it must be awesome.

The capitalists, of course, are ecstatic and will intensify their efforts to promote the rapid development of automation. But because of this, the capitalist countries are once again on the track of economic crisis, and the unemployment rate has begun to fluctuate violently again - and the reason why it is drastic is because some genius economists have creatively come up with a solution: to redistribute the two non-essential jobs of the past into three, well, yes, almost exclusively in the service sector, so that the unemployment rate, although it fluctuates violently, does not continue to rise, so the economists have made a contribution again, so they have been rewarded with a ball- Nobel Prize in Economics.

And Phoebe's Titan is also developing automation technology in an all-round way, and due to the emergence of artificial muscle units, the degree of automation of Titan is far beyond the outside world, it can be said that some of the pure manual processing technology of Titan is completely used for "leisure and entertainment" for employees - Guardian people think they are adding bricks and tiles to the progress of Titan, but Phoebe is actually looking for a group of humans to be a shield.

And Phoebe also understands that with the continuous development of technology, many capital groups will also realize that a network node management structure similar to Titan is the most perfect structure to maintain their position.

However, the mesh node management system is not the first of Phoebe's creation, in fact, in a certain religion that she strongly opposes, it is the first to create the mesh node management system, so, from a certain point of view, Phoebe is the Pope in essence, or the empress.

Of course, Phoebe is naturally not stupid enough to say it when she sees someone, let alone take the initiative to confess when she is not asked by Sunny and Barbara. But what you need to know is that Phoebe began to plan how to build her "empire" before Titan was founded Of course, the purpose of this empire is to be the guarantee that Sunny will never lack opportunities, so she wants to get this absolute right, and no one can break the ruling system, and Phoebe is the smartest, and will never politicize Titan, but Titan, has actually replaced many government functions, but due to the isolation of internal and external information, outsiders don't know what Titan is like inside.

But Phoebe also admits that Titan is still vulnerable, partly because there are too few shields, and partly because of another experience that capitalist countries have learned in dealing with the economic crisis, as mentioned earlier: finding new technologies, guiding new industrial structures and adding value to them to survive the current cycle.

And Titan's Atlantic floaters are naturally new technology.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why Barbara's engagement ceremony was held on a floating island, and it is also better to understand why even the president of the United States came as soon as he was invited.

Just as his unifying predecessor led to a booming insurance and financial industries to get out of the dot-com bubble, the Democratic president, who took office this year, wants to have a good talk with Abron, the owner of the Atlantic Floaters. This proves once again how wise Phoebe was to put Abrun in the position of president of Onclaud, which is actually the equivalent of Titan's foreign ministry and Ebron, who is Phoebe's foreign secretary, and it is obvious that it should be a good idea to marry her chief maid and the foreign secretary, especially when this additional minister has not yet realized that he is the foreign secretary.

Of course, Phoebe doesn't think about being an empress because she doesn't have emotional thinking, how great she is, in fact, in Phoebe's opinion, being an empress is too troublesome, if it weren't for Sister Sun, she wouldn't even get Titan out, the main reason is that she feels that the life and death of others has nothing to do with her - as for the situation that she has to worry about the life and death of so many people now, it is the price that must be paid in order to make Sister Sun happy forever.

Just like last year, Phoebe was ready to accept the Welsh title because she found out that the president of the Democratic Party was very likely to be elected, and Phoebe would not do anything without absolute interests.

And Phoebe thinks that if someone wants to criticize herself for not having a sense of social responsibility, then well, she may ask others: When looking for a job, you are asking about wages and benefits, right? You will never ask how much value you will create for society and how much you will contribute to society?...... Of course, in Europe and the United States, the evaluation of a person has its participation in public welfare social activities, but don't forget, this evaluation method itself has become one of the evaluation criteria for measuring a person's value and giving him corresponding treatment, that is to say, a person may not have to study and work hard, or even very lazy and stupid, but because of active participation in public welfare activities, therefore, you can get more opportunities than people who work hard to study, Phoebe believes that from a perceptual point of view, this may be a policy to guide the society to form a good atmosphere, but from a rational point of view, it has created the same injustice as Chinese students to measure a person by performance。

Human beings are always like this, even if they participate in public welfare activities, it is not rational nobility, but emotional nobility, and emotional nobility can be regarded as "self-evaluation of oneself has become noble", and this is true for anyone, even those voters who voted for the Democratic Party.

Europe and the United States have the "successful" experience of using new technologies to form new industrial chains, and then temporarily get out of the economic crisis, so it is very likely that the president wants to use Titan's technology and apply it to the social value appreciation system. Phoebe naturally needs to be prepared, at least Titan's technology is not yet open to civilian and non-Iapetus allies.

However, if the refusal is too direct, it will obviously make the president, who has already shown offensiveness, and even gave the Special Operations Command more power than in the past a few days ago, and don't forget, Titan is still seeking to get a place for the equipment training and testing base of the Special Operations Command, not to mention that Phoebe is still thinking about promoting the deployment of nuclear weapons on the Atlantic Floaters after the delivery of the British floating islands, to be precise, after the British have deployed nuclear weapons on the new floating islands...... Phoebe knows that at least in the next four years, there are still many things that Titan-9 will not be able to bypass the Democratic Party's pro-people president, so she can't lose face too much.

That's why Phoebe thought of letting an Oxford professor who vigorously promotes atheism "hit and hit" Mr. President first, of course, this can be regarded as making Mr. President understand that some problems are like atheist professors vs. Vatican popes, more than half a day, and nothing will change after that, it should be an atheist, it is still a theist, and it is still a theist.

But negotiations, each using different means, and besides, in order to cooperate with the president's plan to stabilize the distribution of bailout capital, didn't her movies also help a lot?—— well, she should have taken more advantage, but the relationship between China and China was run out by herself, so how should this be calculated? People with clear logical thinking should be able to understand how difficult it is to establish a good relationship with Chinese. You must know that the Soviet Union is no longer there, and the largest communist country is not China, and anyone who really understands the world political pattern knows that the United States is stepping on the European Union on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is not getting along with the enemies of the European Union; on the one hand, it is stepping on the Muslim League, which has a population of nearly 1.5 billion, and on the other hand, it is not getting along with another China with a large population, and the most interesting thing is that Russia has become an observer of the Muslim League, and China (47 words deleted here)...... You see, it's so much trouble to get North Korea, or is it Titan's big smallpox program that makes this round of negotiations, the North Koreans are suddenly willing to talk privately with the U.S. representative, Mr. President, you just elevate part of the report of the Special Operations Command, you can take a good look at it, Titan is in other places, and it will still work hard with everyone......

Phoebe prepared a surprise for the president of the United States, let him sit next to the atheist professor, and let them talk a few words, which will be seen by many people on the day of the engagement ceremony, you know, of the more than 500 members of the United States Congress, but only one dares to come out in terms of faith, saying that he is an atheist. Phoebe's way of using is actually quite "vicious", which is why Barbara laughs so much, although she doesn't understand why Phoebe did this, but she can definitely understand that the president will definitely feel restless like eating flies at that time.

And Barbara knew that before Phoebe voted in last year's election, she had instructed that all voting Titan employees must vote for the Republican Party - well, that's right, Phoebe manipulated the votes, but no one held it accountable, on the contrary, because she showed her attitude, it would be easier to be accepted by the forces of industrial capital......

Of course, Phoebe will not make it too difficult for the new president, although some of the technologies of Atlantic Floater and Titan are indeed too important, and Phoebe will not use them to contribute to the improvement of the American economy and even the world economy, and will not give money. But she could tell the new president a message, of course, that would be up to Ebrun, and she wouldn't say it herself.

This news is that the NSA and Langley, I am afraid that a considerable number of classified electronic documents have been stolen, and the place of theft is the analysis center of Japan's National Security Agency...... As for how it was discovered, of course, it was an unauthorized copy order discovered by Koos......

Barbara naturally asked Phoebe why she wanted Richard to sit next to the president, and Phoebe naturally answered truthfully, and under Barbara's questioning, she also told her about other things, including the leak of Japan's NSA analysis center, but Barbara thought about it all night and felt that this was still too strong for the president, so the next day Barbara found an opportunity to push Phoebe into the back of the business car, closed the door, and told Phoebe what she thought.

Barbara had been involved in the diplomatic arena of Eastern Europe, and she was really good at judging politicians, so Phoebe attached great importance to her suggestion, nodded and said, "Well, but if we don't mention the leak, what benefits should we give the president?"

"Didn't you have our men form a special operations battalion with the Army? It's the motorized battalion that uses vehicles equipped with the Lost Runner system as the core of the battle. "Don't forget, the president has been promoting the withdrawal from Iraq since he took office, but he turned around and sent troops to Afghanistan, and he, the president of the Democratic Party, the most important thing is to reduce the number of casualties and disabilities. ”

"The reduction in the number of casualties really makes the president who sent troops to the war zone feel very significant?" Phoebe tilted her head and thought about it, always feeling that this condition was not tempting for the president, so she added: "And I don't think the Pentagon didn't tell the president about this experimental unit, even you and I have seen the infantry combat test report in Desert New City before, let alone him." ”

Barbara shook her head and smiled, and said: "Phoebe, you are really thoughtful in other aspects, but don't forget one thing, the special motorized battalion was temporarily formed and trained on the Iraqi side before, and this withdrawal, because they are more 'combative', was put in the final retreat sequence, if you want to send this force to Afghanistan, you will have to wait at least another six months - if we don't remind the president, so ......"

"Hmm......" Phoebe nodded slowly, she knew this, but she really couldn't understand that the president, who was otherwise wise, would not have imagined that he would immediately send this realization force, after all, the motorized battalion is just a consumable like most soldiers in the Marine Corps...... However, Phoebe also thinks that what Barbara said is reasonable, perhaps, the president is really just to stabilize the morale of the military, if no one reminds him, he will not send the troops withdrawn from Iraq to Afghanistan in a short time.

As if she knew what Phoebe was thinking, Barbara said: "Also, the retreat batch of this army has not yet begun, the president still has room to operate, and in fact, the combat core of this unit is actually a maze system operated by our people." In other words, we can't control where the American soldiers go, but we can control our people. Let them report to the Afghan base with their equipment, and before the Army and the Marine Corps were competing for the right to form the first unit of this new special operations model, in the past, we chose to cooperate with them in order to balance the Army's losses in the floating islands, this time it is time to re-test it, to see if the Marine Corps and the Army are still willing to cooperate with us as before, how about this idea?"

Phoebe thought for a moment and said, "You mean, let the Army and the Marine Corps compete to form a unit together again, and at the same time use this incident to make things happen to the president, so that he can remember that there is a new combat mode to reduce casualties?"

Barbara continued to raise her eyebrows proudly, nodded and said: "Moreover, the northern part of Afghanistan is garrisoned by German troops, even if the US military side will not be able to open the situation for a while, can we still cooperate with the German army, there will always be a way to make the president pay attention to this combat combination of reducing casualties." Looking at Phoebe's face, Baba stretched out her hand and picked Phoebe's chin, and said, "And don't forget, we are actually from the intelligence system, so it's better not to go through the president about the leak, tell Langley directly, or we can directly dispose of the person in secret, it's better than letting the president know." ”

"Hmm......" Phoebe nodded, of course she understood the latter point Barbara said, but she felt that she could use this leak to make the intelligence department hold a grudge against the Japanese, as for the reason, let's not go into so much detail for the time being, as long as she knew that she was going to make trouble for the Japanese in Japan...... After weighing it for a while, Phoebe felt that it was rare for Barbara to come to give her advice in such a hurry, and of course she had to take her advice, even if it would make the Japanese plan not go as smoothly as expected, so Phoebe first nodded, and then looked at Barbara with a strange expression and said, "How can you give such a good suggestion this time?"

Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said: "Don't forget, I was in Eastern Europe before, and before the collapse of the Soviet Union, I was fighting Afghanistan, and when many military personnel in the diplomatic arena chatted, they always liked to brag about what they had done in Afghanistan, and I, naturally, wanted to know more about Afghanistan." To be honest, I think that if we don't intervene, the casualties of the US military will be abnormally high, because the density of US troops stationed in Afghanistan will increase significantly because of the president's order to send troops, and it is not surprising that the number of casualties will increase at that time. And ......"

Phoebe obviously felt that when Barbara said "And", she once again revealed the same emotions as when she teased herself last night, and sure enough, she heard Barbara laugh in a low voice: "Besides, didn't you say that doing it appropriately can make people's minds sharper, how about it?

Phoebe glanced at her and said, "I can't be both a pot and a dish...... And, who knows when you really want to eat and when you pretend to want to eat......"

"Uh......" Barbara was stunned for a moment, hearing Phoebe's description, anyone would be stunned, but Barbara quickly reacted, Phoebe's resignation was really cute, so she said happily: "Then I want to eat vegetables now, how about I use it as a pot for your rally now?"

Phoebe gave Barbara a blank look, then felt the emotions around her, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she put her mouth to Barbara, who was stunned because she felt as if she had released something terrible......
