It should be said that mankind's research, development, and use of space far exceed those below the earth's surface. As a result, space is more prone to disputes. How high can a flying aircraft be determined not to violate our airspace? How high can our missiles fly? This is really a question. Is it based on the gravitational extent of the earth? or the atmosphere that surrounds the earth? I think the United Nations should define the scope of public space to avoid airspace conflicts.
Now let's talk about the acquisition of territories. We are very familiar with the diplomatic term "since ancient times," so why do foreign governments rarely mention "since ancient times"? Because, looking at the whole world, there are really very few countries that are qualified to say "since ancient times," and China is certainly the first. First of all, when did "ancient" begin? From a few million years to nearly 10,000 years ago, when mankind was in the stage of maturity, without language and writing, it should not be regarded as human beings in the modern sense, and human society in the modern sense was not formed. Counting from nearly 10,000 years ago, we believe that Western historical research for the time being shows that there are only a few places where human civilization has existed, such as China, ancient India, the two river basins of the Middle East, and the Nile River basin in Africa.
Only the territory naturally occupied by this period is qualified to say "since ancient times". What is natural appropriation? It means that no other peoples have ever lived or developed here, or that other peoples have been merged to form a whole. I believe that the basic elements of this nation are a consistent language, writing, and mainstream ideology, as well as a relatively stable and well-defined territory and a continuous political power. Only those who meet these conditions are qualified to say "since ancient times." Let's talk about how many such countries are there in the world? Now, we should understand that Qin Shi Huang has made a major contribution, "the book is the same text, the car is on the same track," and Qin Shi Huang made a major contribution to the great unification of Chinese civilization for several thousand years.
There are also protocols. This agreement was an agreement under relatively equal conditions between the two parties, not an agreement forced by muskets and artillery. Agreements forced by muskets and cannons amounted to violent plunder, such as the series of shameful treaties signed between China and Western invaders in the late Manchu Dynasty. For example, Alaska was sold by Russia to the United States, and it is said that the United States also wants to buy Greenland, which belongs to Denmark, but Denmark is unwilling to do this business. For example, India and Bangladesh have used agreements to solve the problem of "enclaves" within countries, and China has signed border agreements with many neighboring countries to clarify the scope of adjacent territories. The premise of the agreement to resolve the territorial issue is equality, there are no historical disputes, and there are no obvious conflicts.
Safeguarding territorial integrity is a top priority for all States. The basic content of national sovereignty is the inviolability of territory. Marxism holds that the state is a historical concept, which does not appear with the emergence of human beings, nor does it exist in the entire process of human society, and after human society enters communism, the state loses the basis for its existence and thus dies. However, until the disappearance of the state, especially when human society is still in a period of class distinction, the primary task of the state is still to safeguard territorial integrity. Ultimately, the purpose of safeguarding territorial integrity is to protect the country's security space and the living space of its own people.
With the territory, there must also be a population to operate. Human beings are the most positive and important factor in human society. Marxism says that "labor creates man himself", which is expounded from the perspective of the origin of human beings, and human labor constantly promotes the development of human society, and labor is the fundamental driving force for the development of human society. Where did man, in the modern sense, first appear? The mainstream of Western academic circles believes that man first appeared in Africa, and then migrated and spread to other regions, that is, there is only one point in the origin of man.
The Han nationality, the main ethnic group in China, is not simply the development of one family or one group, but the evolution of multiple families and groups through long-term integration. This can be confirmed in our historical legends, we call ourselves "descendants of Yan and Huang", and Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are the leaders of two different tribes, and these two different tribes, I think, can also be regarded as two different races. The two tribes formed an alliance, merged with each other, and after a long period of development, they became the ancestors of the Han nationality together, which was the beginning of Chinese civilization. During this period, I thought that there were other tribes and other races that continued to integrate and gradually reduce their differences and evolve into a big nation.
At present, the White Emperor Secret Realm, as well as most other secret realms, have the orientation of moving towards a single nation.
Fortunately, their lack of materials is very serious, and it is basically difficult for them to have their own clothing culture, entertainment culture and political culture.
Maybe this is because as a soldier of Gongsun Shu, Wang Mang's younger brother, there were not many literati who brought the secret realm with him.
At least in terms of clothing, Wang Jian observed that the civilians in the low-level secret realm were no different from the Chinese, and the T-shirts and shorts were very worrying.
This is also normal, the backlog of old clothes in China is almost enough for the people of the country to wear for decades without production, and those warehouses in the suburbs are almost connected, and there are a few guys with broken brains who will invest in garment factories at this time.
Then again, this kind of cultural infiltration doesn't seem to be of much use.
Because as far as Wang Jian knew, it was impossible for the people of the secret realm to send televisions to every household, but chose to set up various open-air televisions on open streets, and hold programs according to the time at night.
In this way, the pass is well controlled.
According to Long Yifei, it is understandable that it is impossible to broadcast modern dramas, fashion dramas or war films from China.
After all, if the people in the secret realm see the living standards of the Chinese people, it is estimated that they will all hate to death, and the same is true for war movies.
As I said before, the secret realm is a country of abundance, but this country of abundance has too many defects and misses, and the lack of mineral deposits means that there is no military industry of its own, and iron tools have a huge function even in the magic world.
That is to say, even if he has not seen it, Wang Jian also confirmed that the war of the people of the secret realm cannot have magic cannons to wash the ground, or a continuous defense line for thousands of miles, or magic tanks made of various enchanted steel, which are basically hand-to-hand combat and simple spells.
In the average combat effectiveness of Huaguo, the Grand Master, as a single powerful unit, is naturally regarded as the most important resource, but in terms of firepower output, it is naturally normal to measure the distance and wash the ground with artillery.
This is not just a matter of crushing people with steel, but the intricate history of warfare for thousands of years, as well as the new war system that has been forced out by the sea of beasts in recent decades.
In front of this system, how can the secret realm be played?
There have been such cases in China, where a group of bandits who have been coerced by foreign forces have attempted to cause a large number of casualties on the border in order to shake the will of the common people on the border of China.
They have been trained for a long time and received the death training of the foreigner father, which is really a death training, and the demons who crawled out of the pile of corpses have lost their humanity, and only killing and madness are left to spread.
These people are carrying, and they are also the best weapons given by Daddy Yang, and they have been drugged and brainwashed in advance to ensure that those crazy warriors only have killing and slaughtering in their eyes.
Then, on the coast, they encountered a group of female militiamen on the Chinese border, these Iron Maidens were armed with squad infantry guns, and not many rifles.
But these Iron Maidens slaughtered the butchers in a solid manner.
It's just crushing.
The reason is very simple, low-level infiltration and massacres cannot carry infantry artillery, and those butchers themselves think that they are just here to slaughter civilians.
However, it suffered a dimensionality reduction blow and the regiment was wiped out.
Dimensionality reduction attacks, as the name suggests, are the first thing to do is to reduce dimensionality. For example, in the two-dimensional space of an object in three-dimensional space, the force formula of the microscopic particles of the object itself will change, and the molecules of the object will not be able to maintain the existing stable state, and it is very likely that it will disintegrate, resulting in the destruction of the object itself. Dimensionality reduction strike is to reduce the spatial dimension of the target itself, so that the target cannot survive in the low-dimensional space and destroy the target.
What is a dimensionality reduction strike?
Standing at a level one dimension higher than you, attacking you with weapons that are unimaginable in the lower dimensional world, the effect of the attack is often this: I am not targeting you, but leveling your entire world.
Dramatically, the dimensionality reduction attack is not that the high-dimensional people deliberately attack the low-dimensional people, but the high-dimensional people are fighting with each other, but accidentally destroying the low-dimensional world.
The main reason why instant noodles have been able to achieve great achievements in the past is that under the conditions of the time, everyone wanted to eat hot food anytime and anywhere.
After the advent of takeaway, it is easy to be satisfied with hot food anytime and anywhere, and the consumer demand has jumped to a higher dimension: it also tastes good, has many varieties, and can be changed frequently. This dimension is no longer something that instant noodles can solve by changing the flavor and packaging.
The goal of takeaway is not to eliminate instant noodles, but to improve the operational efficiency of the entire F&B market. Unfortunately, instant noodles are located in a low-latitude area of the F&B market.
How to unknowingly carry out a "dimensional strike" on others?
In an ant's brain, the world is two-dimensional, with only two dimensions, "front and back", "left and right", and no third dimension of "up and down", so when it is crushed to death by a finger falling from the sky, it must not be blind.
Just as the two-dimensional ant does not know the dimension of "up and down", we in the three-dimensional world also can't imagine that someone suddenly appears from the fourth dimension.
To put it simply, dimensional strikes are high-dimensional creatures beating low-dimensional creatures, just like we inadvertently crush an ant, and many times, when someone performs a "dimensional strike" on others, they are also unaware.
Some people spend days and nights, trying all kinds of ways, and what they can't do, you can do it by dividing it by two, and for this, you will also "comfort" others with a few words - it's normal that you can't do it. In the same way, in the eyes of an irritable person, the person who has always maintained a stable mood no matter how provocative he is, is always striking at himself in dimensions. That's why there is that sentence: I like the way you can't get used to me and can't destroy me - the naked "dimensional strike".
Whoever is the most shameless wins.
You think there is no way out, because you haven't learned to do whatever it takes, there are many people who like to break the rules, the stronger the ability and the higher the efficiency, the more uneasy others are about them, because they are likely to violate the interests of a bunch of people when they promote the project, just like the "good cops" who often appear on the edge of the law in Hong Kong police movies.
They believe that all systems should serve to improve work efficiency, that all incompetent people should be fired, that they can offend the authority of the leader in order to get the job done, and that they don't care about deadlines and project budgets in order to achieve the desired work efficiency. This type of person often breaks his head in front of the rules, but if they insist on using "dimensionality reduction attacks" that ignore the rules, they will one day tear apart a non-existent rule. Because in this world, the rules are respected on the surface, but in reality only the winners are respected.
Wu Song fights the tiger, and everyone in the world thinks of him as a hero. In fact, it is clearly written in the book that he violated the government's curfew order and did not listen to the advice of the kind-hearted shopkeeper to go up the mountain drunk, and the reason was simply that the shopkeeper wanted to "hack" his money. If he is bitten to death by a tiger, he will only get a spurn of "you deserve it, who made you unruly" like the heroine of the biting incident in Badaling Safari Park.
Because in this world, the rules are respected on the surface, but in reality only the winners are respected. There are many intangible rules in the workplace, and each rule is a work dimension, such as "no reporting to a higher level", which is to protect the "authorization relationship" and prestige of managers. But this protection has a negative effect, and relying on this dimension for a long time to work, your way of thinking is firmly locked. If one day, one of your subordinates suddenly oversteps to report to your superior, it is as if you have been taken out of this dimension.
Of course, this kind of "dimensionality reduction attack" is not allowed in the workplace, and your subordinates will most likely be bored with themselves. But have you ever thought about what if the company's top management acquiesced out of some kind of psychology? Can you still deal with this kind of "dimensionality reduction war"? Most people respect the rules, not because the rules are worthy of respect, but because we want them to be protected. But if we get used to the protection of the rules, the rules will become our weakness. Until the time comes when the people who ignore the rules come and we are dealt a fatal blow from the higher dimensions. Because in this world, the rules are respected on the surface, but in reality only the winners are respected.
There are two kinds of smart people in this world, one kind of people strive for their own interests to the greatest extent within the rules, and the other does not look down on the small profits within the rules at all. If you want to stand out from the lower level of a company, you rely on the ability to be within the rules, but the higher you go, the more you will be tested to break the rules without being punished - this is actually a new rule in the fourth dimension. Because in this world, the rules are respected on the surface, but in reality only the winners are respected.
