Episode 21 Chapter 3: Kill decisively, cut first and then play!
"This family is one of the most historic wealthy families in the entire East, once the absolute master of the entire Star City Autonomous Region, the master of one-third of the wealth of the entire Southern Tropical Community, the biggest ally of the Western world in the East, and the third head of this family was once the leader of the entire yellow world. According to the Ministry of Supervision, the family now has three to four times as much direct wealth as Lin Lifu. Song Wulun said.
Tang Xiaoyan was shocked, Lin Lifu was already the richest man in the alliance, he was completely a giant chaebol, his net worth was completely astronomical, and he was absolutely rich. However, this Li Si's family wealth turned out to be three or four times that of Lin Lifu. But Tang Xiaoyan has hardly heard of it.
"At least in terms of economic influence, this family has been one of the best families in the entire East for hundreds of years." Song Wulun said.
"Then why is the alliance's chaebol Liliang still headed by Lin Lifu?" Tang Xiaoyan said.
"Because this family was once an enemy of the Alliance." Song Wulun said: "Or it has always been the enemy of the Alliance, and the Alliance has used coups and military oppression to oust this family from the position of ruler of Star City. Many years ago, Star City was not a city, but a country, and everything in this country belonged to this family, who controlled the most important sea lanes in the world, one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, one of the world's largest financial companies, one of the world's largest energy companies, one of the world's largest mining companies, this world's largest transmission company, and so on. The Coalition ousted the family in a bloodless coup d'état and incorporated the Republic of Star City into the Malan Federation, in exchange for which the Alliance could not suppress the family financially, and the family could no longer get involved in Star City politics. ”
"Obviously, the emperor of the Asian and American Empire is going to take a strategic adventure, and I believe we will soon see which kind of adventure it is......"
Sure enough, it was fast.
On the morning of April 24, the leader of the opposition party in the Seongcheng Autonomous Region announced that since joining the Malan Federation and joining the Eastern Alliance. The living standards of the people of Star City have not only not risen but have declined, and this region with a population of only more than 10 million people has been the most developed region in the world for a long time, and its per capita GDP has been among the top five in the world for decades.
However, now, Star City's per capita GDP only ranks 32nd in the world. And before, when Star City was a republic, citizens of the republic could travel visa-free to 95% of the world's countries, but now only 42%.
Not only is the standard of living of the people of Star City declining, but their status in this world is also declining, so it's time to consider the wishes of the people? In the face of the worse and worse situation, is it still necessary for Star City to stay in the Malan Federation, and whether it is still necessary to stay in the Eastern Alliance.
The opposition leader's speech caused an immediate uproar, but it was only the beginning. Soon after, several member countries made similar noises, all of which had one thing in common, that is, they were once the richest countries in the world, and although they are still rich, they are no longer so far ahead of their neighboring brother countries, and they can no longer look at them from above.
Of course, the reason why these countries are lonely has little to do with joining the alliance, but is a historical necessity. Because the previous development of these countries was completely dependent on the sale of oil in exchange, the country is small and the population is small, and the money from selling oil every year can allow the people of the whole country to get a huge income without any work, after the energy revolution, oil has become an ordinary chemical material instead of an essential energy source, and the price has dropped by more than 90%, and the economy of these countries has naturally declined all of a sudden. ..., the Asian-American empire began to fight back and began to embark on strategic adventures. Since the alliance military has the urge to use force against the Asian and American Empire, if the alliance starts to catch fire, it is obvious that it can only put out the fire first and then consider the affairs of the Asian and American Empire, otherwise when this fire burns brightly, it will cause immeasurable consequences.
And these ignition points are undoubtedly deeply related to that family, but what puzzles Tang Xiaoyan, especially Song Wulun, is what the Asian and American Empire has paid for this family that has been low-key for decades to take an unprecedented adventure.
Tang Xiaoyan even felt that there was probably no kind of interest in the world that was worth the risk of this family, after all, no matter what economic interests were for this family, they were just floating clouds. What's more important is that even if you get these benefits, you must have a life to enjoy them. The alliance is definitely not a good man and a woman, the establishment of the alliance in the past few decades itself is a bloody history book, I don't know how many prominent families and royal families have died cleanly, I don't know how many famous families have died and extinction.
But no matter what, this news immediately caused an extreme shock among the top echelons of the alliance, and almost an hour later, the alliance officials questioned and refuted the leaders of the opposition parties in the Star City Autonomous Region, and immediately sent a secret envoy to the Star City area. At the same time, the Ministry of Supervision immediately activated the high-level agents who were ambushed in the Star City area to carry out relevant activities.
Immediately afterwards, the top management of the alliance held a secret meeting and consultation with Prince Mei Jiyan, who remained in Yajing City, but nothing came of it. Moreover, in the afternoon of the same day, the large official media of the Asian and American Empire also broadcast the political activities of the Star City Autonomous Region and some small republics against the alliance, and openly published a topic on the web page: Do you feel happier after the Asian American Empire joined the alliance? There are two options, one yes and one no. In a short period of time, millions of people voted, almost unanimously choosing no, and in the following message, the Asian and American empires almost attacked the alliance in a hateful and resentful tone, saying that they very much wanted the Asian and American empires to withdraw from the alliance, and not to delay for a second.
Obviously in a passive position but getting tougher and tougher, this has caused extreme dissatisfaction among the top echelons of the alliance, and the top military leaders of the alliance have directly shouted and shouted to kill. A staff officer of a major general of the Supreme Military Council of the Union even openly issued a declaration of war in the media, and it was strongly responded to and embraced by the population.
The friction between the two sides is becoming more and more intense, and the means are becoming more and more intense. In the evening, however, all the quarrels came to a temporary halt.
Because the newly appointed Sith Federal Yuan made a public televised speech, all eyes were immediately focused on Beyer's not too handsome face, because his attitude would represent the final attitude of the Sith Federal Government, a compromise with the ruling forces of the plutocracy? Or is it further torn? This will also have a direct impact on the future direction of the world and the game between Asian and American empires and alliances.
The answer soon came out, and the public speech of the Führer Bayer was not long, and it can be summed up in a few points.
First, in order to solve the current economic difficulties of the federal government, the federal government will reform the tax system.
Second, the federal government will cut back on public spending on education, the police, health, etc., and reform the retirement system for state civil servants.
Thirdly, the Federation will reform the social security system, the citizen welfare system.
As soon as Bayer's speech ended, it immediately caused an uproar. Some people speculated that the team he led might compromise with the chaebol forces, but they didn't expect the compromise to be so thorough, and these decisions were completely cut by the people. Of course, the people of the Sith Federation are very wealthy, although the burden is also very heavy, but in the end, their standard of living is quite high, at least much higher than that of the Eastern Union. The Sith government was short of money to cut the flesh of the people, and although these wealthy people were uncomfortable, they were not necessarily unbearable. The point is that the government forces of the Sith Federation have lost completely in this game, and they have also piggybacked on the people who were originally in a state of semi-spectatorship. …,
Of course, the people were cut off, although there was a certain loss. But the biggest loss is still the power of the federal government, and in many respects it has completely cut off its own arms.
No matter how sensational the speech of the head of Bair was, it was definitely not very good news for the alliance at this time. The speech of the Führer Bayer at least represented the temporary end of the struggle between the forces of the Sith federal government and the plutocracy, and the results were already there. Then the game between the alliance and the Sith Federation will fall into a relatively passive situation. Because the Sith Federation can't make trouble, the Eastern Alliance will not dare to really make a move against the Asian and American Empires.
Of course, the situation in the world is too complex and changeable, and although Führer Bayer has given the final attitude, the Asian and American Empires have not taken the opportunity to make trouble, but have become more dormant than before, as if waiting for the real dust to settle on the side of the Sith Federation. But in any case, the Asian and American empires did not accept substantive negotiations.
Over the next week, the situation in the Sith Federation reassured many people, and of course more disappointed. Because there was really not much trouble over there, the number of people who had marched so hard before was actually reduced. With the enactment of the federal government's reform package, there are pros and cons for the public. The disadvantages are more hidden and the effect is slow, and the advantages are very obvious. There is no doubt that the interests of the people of the Sith Federation have been harmed, but it seems that there are many benefits instead of no loss.
Half a month later, the situation in the Sith Federation was really quiet, and the crowd of demonstrators almost completely dispersed. The great greatness of the new reform program was also being proclaimed in the major media outlets, and many media outlets officially declared the end of the Sith Federation's nearly year-long internal and dangerous turmoil. As many people have judged, the previous demonstrations and occupations were all controlled and indulged by the Sisi government forces, and now once the Sisi government forces compromise, these popular violence will soon cease to subside.
After all, the people of the Sith Federation are still very wealthy, and even if they are cut off, they are far from the point where they can't survive and want to rebel.
Once the Sith Federation is quiet, then the Eastern Alliance will not be able to calm down.
On 15 May, the head of the Sith Federation, Bayer, announced that although the previous head of state had died, his visit to His Majesty Mei Yuehin, Emperor of the Asian and American Empire, was still valid. The royal family of the Asian American Empire did not express its position on this matter, but openly declared Anton a rebel of the Asian American Empire, and the Asian American Empire would be wanted by the Anton Extreme Organization all over the world.
Immediately afterward, the Empire of Asia and the United States sent a large number of secret police units into the Northern Autonomous Region without informing the Union government, and arrested the secret members of the Anton organization and the underground armed forces in the name of the society with lightning speed. The entire arrest and clean-up campaign lasted only three days before it was almost declared successful, with the arrest of more than 1,000 members of secret separatists and armed groups, and the entire northern province of the Asian and American empires was immediately in disarray.
Of course, the most angry and corrupted were some of the high-ranking members of the military of the Anton Extreme Alliance, and the forces they had managed to support were almost half collapsed in this attack of the Asian and American Empires, and the losses were beyond imagination.
So far, the league has lost most of the game. The Asian and American empires were decisive in their attacks, cutting first and then playing, directly cutting off the uneasy factors in the territory, and then they could take the initiative in the negotiations with the alliance.
On 19 May, the alliance's top officials sent a special envoy to the holy city of the Asian and American empires to conduct the latest consultations with the royal family of the Asian and American empires. Previously, Emperor Mei Yueyan and Emperor Mei Jiyan came to Yajing City to negotiate, but this time it was the alliance that sent people to take the initiative to go to the holy capital of the Asian and American Empire. Tang Xiaoyan also learned about the conditions offered by the Eastern Alliance from Song Wulun almost immediately, handed over Anton to the Asian American Empire, and the military high-ranking apologized to the Asian American Empire and recalled the Alliance's errant officers in the Asian American Empire's garrison. ..., but even this condition was rejected by the Asian American Empire, and their first condition was that Fang Jianxi, the initiator, should be punished with the most severe military punishment and withdraw all the mecha battalions of the alliance in the Asian American Empire garrison. There is no doubt that the top military of the coalition will never agree to this, and the negotiations have reached an impasse.
Either way, the whole affair has evolved into a dangerous soap opera. It has been nearly half a year since the beginning, and it can be estimated that if the external environment does not change much, the alliance and the Asian and American empires will continue to see-saw. So as a possible intermediate role, Tang Xiaoyan was originally going to wait until the matter was completely over before returning to the Alliance Military Academy, but now it seems that he doesn't know how long it will be until the end of the matter, so Tang Xiaoyan got into the car of the Ministry of Supervision and returned to the Alliance Military Academy after packing up his things a little, he is an absolute genius, but he doesn't have much say in such a big matter.
The convoy was driving on the streets, there was no way, every time Tang Xiaoyan went out, the Ministry of Supervision sent a convoy. Tang Xiaoyan sat in the car and watched the news on a tablet, while thinking about Megan after returning to the Alliance Military Academy. How Mendes will react.
Suddenly, the car stopped. Tang Xiaoyan couldn't help but look up, as if there was a temporary military control on the road in front of him, and the road was closed.
"Is there any big guy going through?" Tang Xiaoyan said in surprise.
The people from the Ministry of Supervision stepped forward to negotiate, but the other party was a major with a not very good attitude, and directly waved his hand and reprimanded the convoy of the Ministry of Supervision to leave. The person from the Ministry of Supervision took out his ID card with a cold face and showed it, and the other party took out the ID card behind it, showing hostility, and waved his hand: "Everyone get out of the car and accept the inspection." ”
"Mr. Tang, we have met an opponent, they are from the Military Security Bureau, and they have a big enmity with our Supervision Department." The driver turned to Tang Xiaoyan and said.
ps: The second one is sent.
Ask everyone for three or two monthly passes!
Khan, the number I asked for was getting smaller and smaller.
