A World in Turmoil Chapter 1 The World Pattern
"Yang Fanβ"
Yang Fan found himself standing in a dark world, a familiar voice blended together, floating from the void in all directions, he followed the sound and looked around, but he couldn't see anything, only endless darkness.
Could it be that the brick is using some newly developed psychic communication function to talk to me? But his instincts rejected such a possibility.
"Who, who's calling me?"
"Yang Fan-do you think you can hide?"
"Hide? I didn't even think about hiding. β
"The secrets you carry will be revealed sooner or later, and you can't hideβ"
"What a secret, I don't know."
At this time, Yang Fan saw the mercenaries led by Kevin appear in the distant sky, next to Aldrich and Su Weiwei, they all looked at him with evil eyes, as if they wanted to scavenge for some useful information.
Soon, they disappeared again.
"Xiao Fanβ"
"Who, who's talking again!?"
"Remember, the secrets you carry are related to the future of our country, and there is a long way to go."
A flash of lightning struck down in front of him, splitting a gap in the sky, and Yang Fan saw a vague figure there, unable to see and touch, but he was extremely sure that that person was his father, a man he might not forgive in his life.
The figure didn't turn around, just waved his hand lightly, and walked into the darkness, as it had done more than ten years ago, resolutely choosing not to look back.
"You stop! Stop! β
Yang Fan ran away, no matter what, he had to catch up with this person and find his own answer. The gap in the sky was gradually filled by darkness, and his pace never stopped, the distance kept closing and reaching within reach.
However, at this critical moment, he suddenly stepped on the air, and his whole body fell downward, and he was doing free acceleration again after many days.
"I'll go, the hole dug by someone who lacks heart-"
In the next second, Yang Fan woke up from the bed and saw the white wall, white sheets, and white patient gowns on his body, Zhao Jie on the left was sitting with his back against the wall, while Zhou Ling on the right was still lying on the bed, and the three of them were sent to the hospital.
It turned out to be just a dream.
"Yang Fan, what are you doing in a daze?" Zhao Jie raised his head and asked.
"Whewβdon't mention it, I accidentally had a nightmare."
Yang Fan's heart was full of doubts, he didn't know if the secret in the mercenary's mouth was the same as what the man said to him, alluding to the secret base hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. What is the significance of that place?
He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking.
"Eh, Zhao Jie, what are you looking at, so fascinated?"
Zhao Jie didn't raise his head, and replied casually: "Isn't it obvious that he is reading the newspaper." β
"Playboy Edition?"
"Vulgar, I'm studying the international situation."
Yang Fan yawned, "Oh, yes, let's hear it." β
Zhao Jie handed over the newspaper, "Read it yourself, there are a lot of exciting news." β
"I've recently suffered from a headache when I read a text, so tell me about it." Those obscure political topics really made Yang Fan feel a headache, maybe this is the attribute of a scumbag.
"Yesterday the world government convened a world conference to discuss and vote on the clashes between the new European Union and the republics on the border, and the result was an unhappy dissolution."
Yang Fan knew about the world government and the world conferences that were held every year, but he was in a state of ignorance about their origin and related history, so he decided to take this opportunity to ask his brother for advice.
"Oh, how did the World Government come about?"
Zhao Jie squinted his eyes with a look of contempt, and he hated iron and said, "Alas...... Don't just think about sleeping when you were in political and military classes back then, and now you regret it, right? β
"What's there to be proud of, except for this class, you didn't sleep, and you were not spared."
"Forget it, let me popularize this knowledge for you today, otherwise it will be a shame to say it."
"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about it."
"The world war 70 years ago, you know?"
Yang Fan nodded, this is a sad memory that no human can erase, and the most tragic scene has been carved on the ground full of corpses.
"Seventy years ago, in order to compete for depleting resources, countries began to plunder and occupy each other, large countries were fighting, small countries were swallowed, and the whole earth became a battlefield filled with gunpowder. And the use of nuclear bombs has pushed the war to a new peak, and the world has become purgatory. The war lasted for ten years, but there was no final victor. β
"After that, in order to prevent the recurrence of world war, the surviving countries established world governments and reached agreements on peace and development, and the leaders of the member countries held a world conference every year to discuss issues of security and order around the world and resolve conflicts with each other by non-military means."
Zhao Jie's tone was heavy, as if he was immersed in that unbearable grief, and he said self-deprecatingly: "The only benefit of that war may be said to be a great reduction in the world's population and the saving of the earth that is about to explode. β
Yang Fan looked at his brother and waited until the other party recovered before continuing to ask: "So the few remaining big countries were also formed after that great war?" β
"That's right, at that time, many countries and nations were going to perish, and the remaining countries could only unite with each other to resist foreign invasions, and more than 100 countries that once spread all over the world finally merged into the four great powers, which are now called the Republic, the New European Union, the Free Federation, and China, which respectively occupy the four major earth plates of the African continent, the European continent, the American continent and the Asian continent, called the Four Kingdoms."
"What about the European Union? Why do they always have a few countries participating in the World Conference? β
"The loose union of states of the European Union, consisting of the Kingdom of the Franks, the English Empire, the German State and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, has only achieved political and economic integration, and the member states remain independent and sovereign states, with complete diplomatic, legal and military autonomy."
Yang Fan listened in a fog, as if he understood, but he didn't quite understand, "So this conflict is just about a certain country in the New European Union?" β
"Yes, just the Kingdom of the Franks."
"What about the other countries of the new European Union?"
"None of them took a stand, but they all mentioned that the conflict that broke out should not affect the interests of their own countries."
"However, if war breaks out, they will definitely put on a pair of pants, after all, their geographical location is close to each other, and their interests are also closely related."
Zhao Jie paused for a long time, cupped his cheeks and pondered, "It's hard to say, as our political and military teacher said, in terms of the international situation, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, and no one knows when they will be stabbed in the back by their friends." β
Yang Fan thought about it and didn't answer.
"Our country, as always, has expressed its opposition and strongly condemned such a conflict, suggesting that a peaceful solution should be made."
"Really? Expected. β
After saying that, the two of them smiled easily.
"Butβ" Zhao Jie's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said solemnly, "That bastard of the Free Federation acquiesced in this conflict. β
"It's the Free Federation ...... Again"
"At the end of the day, in today's world, the Free Federation is still a dominant power; Although the new European Union is not weak in its own strength, it has always been secretly snooping, and the member states have their own ghosts and cannot smoothly move towards reunification; And the republican is struggling, everyone wants to take possession, but no one has the confidence to dare to gnaw this hard bone in one bite. β
"Since 200 years ago, we have come down from the top, been humiliated, constantly invaded, in the world war 70 years ago, our country defended its sovereignty with a tenacious will, and after so many years of lying on the back of the bold, quietly recovering, is gradually threatening the status of the Free Federation. But we have always adhered to our purpose: no one will offend me, and I will not offend others. β
"The world pattern that used to be a checkcheck and balance may be broken."
Yang Fan sat up, "Aren't both sides of the conflict willing to compromise?" β
"No, both countries insist that the other side provokes and fires first, and they are justified in self-defense, but no one knows whose words are true and whose words are false, maybe they are all lying, or maybe they are not lying."
"Now there are humanitarians all over the world, people are marching, people are afraid that there will be another world war, and everyone will be cannon fodder."
Zhao Jie's expression was lonely, worried about what might happen in the future, and if it really happened, it would be a nightmare for this generation.
"So, the end result?"
"The end result is no result, and we will break up unhappily."
"Perhaps, things will get better, right?" Yang Fan asked tentatively.
"I hope so, but from the news reports, I know that the Kingdom of the Franks and the Renewing Republic have begun to secretly mobilize their forces, and near the Strait of Gibraltar on the border, the situation is on the verge of breaking out, and a major war is inevitable if you are not careful."
I don't know when Zhou Ling woke up from his slumber and leaned against the wall quietly.
"Take care of yourself, don't think about uselessness." He said indifferently, waking up the two people in the conversation.
Yang Fan poked his head out and asked, "Wood, do you think there will be a world war?" β
"I don't know."
"You're not going to guess?"
"No, it won't."
"Can you have a little fun?"
"Idiot." Leaving this sentence behind, Zhou Ling left the ward alone.
"Take care of yourself, don't think about useless ......"
Zhao Jie finally eased up, he looked at Zhou Ling's departing back, silently recited this sentence, and then his tense face slowly relaxed, he understood that what should come will always come, and all we can do is to do our best and obey the destiny of heaven.
Yang Fan sighed softly, what he couldn't understand was why every time he talked about political issues, everyone would look panicked and worried in the end.
"Sure enough, it was a clear choice for me to go to bed......
