The European Union thousands of miles away.

France has been very lively lately, and the reason is very simple, because the Élysée Palace recently intends to postpone the retirement age from 62 to 66.

Originally, the Elysée Palace was originally intended to delay until the age of 64, but the French economy could not bear it.

The war in Kyiv led to a wave of EU industries being harvested by America.

After the entry of Homo sapiens into Africa, it led to the loss of control of France's economic colonies in Africa, and in order to stabilize the African colonies, they could only be forced to reduce the economic plundering of the African region, and at the same time increase military spending.

Between an increase and a decrease, France's earnings in Africa plummeted.

Add to that the previous global economic crisis, and the multifaceted impact of the plastic crisis.

France's fiscal debt ratio has broken through the previous GDP of 120% and reached a new height of 137%, and pensions cannot be paid all of a sudden.

If they don't delay their retirement now, they won't be able to pay any money.

As a result, France is now very lively, with millions of people "singing, dancing", "mingling" and "mingling" in the streets, and even lighting cars and flags to celebrate with bonfires.

Sophie, who is in charge of EU intelligence, is drinking coffee in a roadside café in Paris, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery on the street.

Several young people sitting not far from Sophie were also looking at the angry old men and women on the street, and their faces were also very entangled.

One of the curly hairs was a little depressed: "No matter how much trouble they make, it's useless, and the Elysee Palace will probably not change its decision." ”

"David, do you have a future for France?" Another young man with a big back leaned back in his chair, his eyes glazed over the crystal chandelier in the café.

Curly-haired David looked depressed: "Future? Perhaps surrendering directly to Homo sapiens is our future. ”

"Are you crazy? Want to take refuge in Homo sapiens? The other round-faced companion was shocked.

Curly-haired David was very serious: "I'm not crazy, but I'm stating a possibility, do you think the EU can fight against Homo sapiens or America?" Don't be naïve, how many people in the core institutions of the EU now hold a green card from the American? ”

The round face was speechless.

After taking a sip of black coffee, the big back asked bitterly, "Why don't you take refuge in America?" ”

"Hehe, can America feed all of Europe? I mean maintaining the current high benefits. Curly-haired David asked rhetorically.

The big back head was suddenly speechless.

Now don't talk about letting America aid the EU, if you don't suck the blood of the EU, the conscience of the other party will be discovered.

Curly-haired David pointed to the street outside the window: "Look at these old men and women, they have worked for more than forty years, and now they can't even get their pensions, let alone us." ”

In fact, this is the harsh reality.

The pension model around the world is almost always a model of eating food.

In this mode, two major prerequisites are required to ensure that the system has been running smoothly.

That is, the economy is growing steadily, and the natural population growth rate is maintaining a certain positive growth.

If one of these two conditions fails, the system will inevitably collapse.

In the last century, the ratio of young and middle-aged workers to retirees in France was 4:1, at this time it was 1.7:1, and it is expected to reach 1.5:1 in 2030.

If the French economy can sustain high growth, it will not be a big problem, and it can barely be sustained.

The problem is that now there is a regression in the economy of France and the EU as a whole.

Therefore, delaying retirement has become the only option.

Curly-haired David was very sober, and he immediately saw the internal and external troubles of France.

In the world of capital, money is the root of everything, and if you don't have money, you can only borrow crazy if you want to maintain high welfare.

The problem is that France is not America, and the consequences of massive borrowing are the next Greece.

……

The backstreet of the café.

The kitchen staff hauled out a large pile of kitchen waste and placed it next to the garbage bin on the side of the road.

Not for a while.

An old lady with a hunchback came to the trash can with a cane.

Skillfully pull out the bag and rummage through the contents of the garbage heap.

A dozen apples with crumpled skins, a large bag of baguettes, a large box of bananas with black spots on the surface, two salmon sandwiches......

There was also a box of crumbled biscuits, five bunches of green grapes, and three bumped pears.

The old lady took only enough food for herself for three days, put it in a bag, looked at the rest of the food, drew a cross on her chest, and said silently:

"Thank the Lord for His gift!"

Under the setting sun, the faltering figure faded away.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

The elderly in developed areas can still pick up garbage to eat, but what about the elderly in less developed areas?

Sophie stood under the bus stop sign and calmly witnessed the old lady's departure.

When she first came to Europe, she thought that this side should not be too bad, but the truth tore her previous cognition.

The development here is actually uneven.

Poor infrastructure, high personal income taxes, free health care that is not very useful, extravagant consumption and waste, and arrogance that is empty-sighted.

That's what Sophie saw and heard in the EU.

As a post-90s generation born in the Far East, it is difficult for her to imagine the luxurious life of some ordinary European families with thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity a month.

Even on the Homo sapiens side, although the benefits are very high, everyone is more conscious of saving resources.

This saving is not about not using, but about reducing unnecessary waste.

For example, air conditioners in Southeast Asia, although they are turned on all year round, when people are not at home, the air conditioners and lights will definitely be turned off.

Many people in Europe don't have this concept, and they don't turn off the lights or air conditioning when they leave the house.

She shook her head and sighed: "Without Lucia's cheap natural gas, Europe will collapse." ”

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the bus did not appear.

Sophie patted her forehead with some annoyance: "It seems that the drivers have gone to participate in the event." ”

Suddenly, a black chicken man wearing a mask appeared behind Sophie, pulled a dagger out of his pocket, and quickly approached her.

The next second.

Sophie swung his tail and kicked directly into his crotch.

"Ahhh......h

The terrible screams suddenly resounded in a radius of several hundred meters.

A middle-aged white man who was picking up garbage, seeing this scene, subconsciously picked up a baguette and rushed over.

"Ma'am! Are you alright? ”

Sophie's heartbeat panicked expression: "Huhu...... It's terrible, but luckily I learned karate. ”

The black chicken man with cracked eggs, like boiled prawns, lay on the ground and wailed.

The middle-aged white man held a baguette in one hand and hurriedly called the police with the other.

However, the call was made, but the other party said that there was a shortage of manpower and asked them to wait for a while.

At this moment, several companions of the black chicken man rushed over, and quickly helped the guy lying on the ground to leave.

Sophie, whose expression was still in shock, hurriedly thanked the middle-aged white man, and then left in a hurry.

In fact, Sophie has long been surprised, during her mission in Paris, she encountered 3 pickpockets and 2 roadblock robberies.

Of course, this is not the case in France in general, but in parts of Paris, which have a high crime rate due to the immigrant settlements.

This is actually a common problem all over Europe, and since the influx of refugees, various problems have emerged one after another.
