Chapter 15: Game of Thrones
The big chessboard of the earth, in addition to these four players, also has a lot of global power, Sima Mulong does not look at it generally, but wants to understand it in more detail as much as possible.
So immediately afterwards, more memory materials were repeatedly imported into the chess game of the earth.
"Import Global Country Directory!"
"Import global national geographic segmentation map, geographic topographic data map, global climate change map......
"With 10,000 people as a unit, establish a national population model, introduce national resource data, economic data, military data, data on the internal governance structure of each country, and the following elements such as ethnicity, sect, class, and region......
"Import international historical data, trade data, and war data as follows......"
In a trance, a map of the situation was extremely intricate, and the complex data made people more and more unable to see the situation, Sima Mulong continued to add various elements to it regardless of it, and improved the model as much as possible.
Finally, as more and more data were interpreted, summarized, and modeled, Sima Mulong felt that his understanding of this planet was gradually deepening, and his understanding of this global power competition game was becoming more and more thorough.
It's a small planet, but it's a complicated planet.
A history of earth civilization is a history of power struggle, a period of diverse and complex power struggle under the changes of the current situation!
The history of the evolution of civilization here can be said to be very different from the history of civilization in the vicissitudes of life, but after deducting the extraordinary cultivators whose strength is beyond the group, the world here is equally wonderful.
Compared with the commonplace sword that can be used as a million soldiers in the Canglan world, the mainstream competition pattern of this world is the competition and fight of group forces, whoever has the ability to unite the majority and unearth the huge power hidden under hundreds of millions of living beings will have the opportunity to become the power master of this planet and dominate the peak of the world's food chain!
Thinking about it, it is like a group of ants hugging into a ball, each pasting a layer of protective armor on the outside of the ant ball, colliding with each other without giving in, again and again, both to survive and always be on guard against war, the difficulty of this protracted war can be imagined, but anyone who survives in the end is an out-and-out strong, and in the end can hold on, hold on to the last nest of ants, gain the most and greatest power, and occupy the fattest hunting ground and land.
Now it seems that under the long history of competition, the structural form of the state seems to really dominate the world, and all superpowers are diligently trying to establish a super-state with themselves as the main body.
What, then, is the essence of these countries? What are the similarities and differences between countries? Is it possible to build a strong state and make it dominate the world so that it can dominate the direction of civilization and make all the people of the world dance with their baton?
At that time, if I want to change the civilization development model of the entire earth and create a new civilization model with cultivation civilization as the main body, how much resistance will I encounter?
Sima Mulong has thought a lot about this issue, and he feels that this problem may really go deep into the essence of the problem, that is, how to better manipulate people's hearts and minds, which seems to be a relatively good place for the country to deal with, providing a great sense of belonging and honor for the human beings under its rule, which seems to be the key to the problem!
Thinking of this, Sima Mulong suddenly felt that the cottage was suddenly opened, and he began to explore at a deeper level, and more memory data was quickly browsed by him.
He meditated hard, walking alone under the neon lights, even if the flow of people was turbulent, he also had a sense of alienation, he didn't notice it, but quickly mobilized his brain function, touching the spiritual machine under the flash of inspiration.
In a trance, he seemed to have vaguely found his way to go and found the direction of his rise.
Once he is sure that this direction is feasible, then he will not hesitate to place a bet, and even use that crucial opportunity to support civilizations to win himself a ticket to the Earth Rights Competition, and finally clear the whole level and be crowned king!
There was almost no doubt about it, Sima Mulong had no doubts.
Because only he knows how amazing the hole cards he holds.
However, he has not yet found that path, he has not yet thought clearly what the key to success is, he has been accustomed to cultivation since he was a child, and he is accustomed to the set of rules of the Canglan world where strength is respected, and he knows that in Canglan, as long as one becomes a heavenly immortal, he has great power, and if he achieves a golden immortal, he has the supreme authority to dominate a civilization.
Everyone knew that a Heavenly Immortal was extremely powerful, and a Golden Immortal was even more invincible.
He believes that the most extreme rule of this world must be that the strong are respected, but what kind of existence should the strong man whom the world welcomes and fears, and how the interests of the strong man should be coordinated and matched with the whole world, is something he has not figured out.
I can't figure this out, even if he can overturn the world by himself, it will only be half the effort, and the problem is that he doesn't have such a powerful force to waste now.
Then only by figuring out this problem can he truly know what he should do, can he really be free of confusion, and can he truly dominate this civilization.
He has not yet figured out the temperament of this new world.
Then, it is impossible for him to tame the world.
To tame a donkey, you need a whip, not a gun.
With a gun you can kill a donkey, but you can never tame a donkey.
You know the power of the gun, you know that the gun is far more powerful than the whip, but the donkey doesn't know it, and by the time it does, it's already dead, or scared mad.
In the same way, a civilization will only worship and fear a powerful force that they can recognize.
If you are a king, civilization will offer you clothes, palaces, and beautiful women, and if you are a god, they will only erect useless statues for you and burn you some incense and lamp oil. You say you don't want this, but who made you a god, a god, that's what you've enjoyed for thousands of years, and people have long been used to it.
Therefore, if you want to tame a civilization, you have to understand it, and Sima Mulong did exactly that.
He is trying to understand what is going on in the big game of chess on Earth, and how he will deal with it.
The state seems to be the main chess piece on this chessboard, so the first thing he needs to understand is the nature of the state and the root of its strength.
With the continuous search of information, Sima Mulong realized that the state is the most mainstream and highest form of power existence and main structure existing on this planet. However, the internal structure of each country is not completely the same, but it is strange, and none of them are exactly the same, but everyone is called a state.
The more consistent feature is that all countries have their own sovereign territory, a certain number of citizens, their own laws, taxes, currency (not necessarily), and the army (not necessarily) or at least the police and disciplined forces.
It is precisely the struggle and division of various interests and even international power between various countries, and the construction and maintenance of the international order, that have become the main theme of the power game on the earth.
But the state is not the only positive force on this planet, in addition, there are also capital forces, civil bamboo forces, sectarian forces, ideological forces, national alliance forces, regional organization forces, crime trafficking forces, terrorist forces, etc., each with its own goals and demands.
In addition to the real economy, governance, and national interests, even many illusory concepts can become the targets and boundaries of their contention, such as whether the language is the same, whether the beliefs are the same, whether the idols are the same, whether the diet is the same, and the hostility of any of these concepts may cause hostility or hedging between the two forces, and eventually with the growth and decline of various forces, they will continue to change the map of the global power structure.
Sima Mulong is also very interested in this, for him, the muddy water of the earth is the more muddy the better, it is better to mess up, no one can figure out the specific situation under the muddy water, this is better than him fishing in troubled water!
As a result, more associated memory data was imported into this big game of chess, and the situation became more and more chaotic and diverse, but under the chaotic pattern, some unchanged basic principles became more and more prominent.
Sure enough, on this banner of the earth, even though the wind and clouds are changing and the weather is myriad, the real influential chess pieces are still those countries that have integrated the all-round power of a large number of national populations.
Even though some other types of global forces can make waves in the international situation for a while, it is inevitable that the tide will ebb over time, and only the countries will still exist.
In contrast, although those overall forces outside the power of the state may be prominent for a while, the truth of the facts is just a special game led by the state as the driving force behind the scenes, and the purpose is nothing more than to use this as an opportunity to find some excuses and cannon fodder for the expansion of their own power.
And once the goals of both sides are achieved and a new balance is formed, then the old theme game will soon be suppressed and subsided, and all the momentum will gradually disappear under the suppression of the state, and slowly, it will naturally have to be replaced by a new theme game.
