Chapter 18 Competing for Position
If you want to be a big player, you have a gun and can build a gun, which is officially qualified to be a new big player.
But no one but yourself will be happy about it.
Younger players will lament that there's another mountain on their heads, and big players will be annoyed that you're trying to change the game.
And the new big players, in order to have this ability, must have spent a lot of money, made a lot of sacrifices, but at this time have not enjoyed a little bit of the benefits of big players, at this time, there is no doubt that it is when you are the most vulnerable, and it is also the most conducive to suppressing you.
History has made the best illustration of this.
At the beginning of the rise of the Han Empire, it was suppressed.
The Russian Federation has also been repressed since its recovery.
Even the United States was suppressed at the beginning of its rise, but if they held on and sat firmly, then they became real big players.
And the old big players like England, after the advent of the new era, tried to keep their big player qualifications, and tried their best to master a complete set of systematic ability to make atomic bombs and their vehicles, but, for various reasons, in the end, they still failed to keep it, and as a result, they were mercilessly knocked out of the big players' seats.
This is inevitable for any new force that tries to rise.
Now it's your turn, and what you'll have to face next will naturally be a game between the big players!
Just imagine, in a big room full of dark and strange smell of black miasma, several big players with gloomy faces and murderous aura are sitting condescendingly on the luxurious backrest chairs that only official members are qualified to entrench, staring at you with disdainful eyes like picky, harsh, and picking pork in the vegetable market, and the eyes that look at you are also sharp as if they want to cut a few pieces of pork off you.
Some of them were drinking coffee, some were smoking cigars, some were talking trash talk, some were casually picking their feet, and some were so slow that they took out snow-white handkerchiefs and blew their noses!
All that is left for you is the poor, little little Maza, standing alone in a corner of the table, as if it had been infected with the plague, and placed far away.
Do you feel humiliated, do you feel angry, do you feel embarrassed?
But as a new reserve player, you can't be angry yet, this is the rule in the top club, how many years of old rules have been continued, how can it change because you are a newcomer, you can only endure, not only have to endure, you have to be polite, but also have to be the first to say hello!
"Hello Big Brother of the United States!"
"Hello big brother of the Han Empire!"
"Hello big brother of the Russian Federation!"
"Hello Big Brother France!"
"Hello Big Brother English!"
Well, what's going on? Didn't you say four big players? How are there five here? Where did the Europa League go? What's going on with the rest of France and England?
France and England are the political representatives and leaders of the Europa League, the two big players in the last session plus Germany, which was beaten down from the seats of the big players, these half-baked big players huddled together to keep warm, plus more than a dozen cannon fodder players of all sizes in Europa, made up the last complete big player: the Europa League.
You say hello one by one, your back is habitually a little bent, you realize this problem, you feel that this is losing your identity as a new big player, you want to straighten your waist a little, and you are afraid that the boss at the back of the ranking will feel that he is disrespectful to him, and take the opportunity to be mad at yourself, only to bend down first to finish the greeting, thinking that next time you must straighten your waist to say hello.
But the bosses didn't see the entanglement in your heart, or they saw it, but they didn't care about it in their hearts, or they thought you would adapt, in short, some of them sighed lazily, some didn't care about it, and some nodded, which is considered to be your greeting.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's start playing!"
The United States shouted impatiently, and couldn't wait to reveal a card.
"Who's who, the newcomer, let me measure your ability, uncle, look at my big killer move, pseudo-United Nations sanctions!"
"Yes!"
"Support"
"Yes!"
Three neat reconsiderations made your head sweat for a moment, "Wait, I'm going to play my cards!"
It's easy for you to put a few chips on the table that you pawned all the belongings you exchanged for, and then you calmly showed your hole cards, "Fortunately, I have been prepared for a long time, watch my ultimate move, military exercises, missile test launches!"
The bigwigs were shocked! It was actually an ICBM with a range of xx thousand miles, and it actually blocked the powerful move of the United States, pseudo-United Nations sanctions!
"Haha, you've lost a move. ”
"Look, I've been slapped in the face!"
Although he lost a hand and lost a chip, several bigwigs who reconsidered it didn't care, and they made fun of the United States' miss, and the expressions on their faces softened a lot, and they nodded to you intentionally or unintentionally, which can be regarded as recognizing your identity as a big player.
Packing up a lot of chips and taking the opportunity to change into a tall chair, you breathe a sigh of relief.
If you lose, not to mention not becoming a big player, even if you work hard to save this bit of chips, you have to lose all of them, and if you don't get it, the whole set of equipment built at home to make "guns" has to be compensated, and it is really a loss of money.
I've long heard that new big players are going to enter the game, and they will be attacked by old players, which is true.
The game between the top big players is really unusually dangerous, the cost is too great, every card played, you have to press a lot of chips, even the choice of reconsideration, abstention is no exception, made the right choice, win the card is good, you can take the opportunity to recuperate, paddling to save chips, but if you continue to lose, then you have to be very careful.
Not only will other bigwigs look down on you and slash you when they have the opportunity, but even the little players outside the gate who listen to the corner will also look down on you by three points, and the chips that were originally going to press you will also be withdrawn.
In order to keep your position and interests in this increasingly risky game, you have to rack your brains, not only to keep your own basic board, but also to look at other people's cards, to be good at falling into the ground, but also to take the opportunity to meet one or two allies, everyone huddles together to keep warm, and the skill requirements here are too high.
You have lingering palpitations in your heart, after all, you know that you have too little money, and you are reluctant to get out of this big house, only to find that your treatment is completely different.
In the past, walking in this game field, you are soft-spoken, insignificant, few people greet you, now the identity has changed, and suddenly it has become prominent, and the neighbors are all smiling, and they can't count the greetings along the way, and the smiling faces are sour.
What you didn't even expect was that a player actually approached you for a friendship, handed over a ticket, and wanted you to say a few words for him in the game.
When I returned home, the whole family was boiling, everyone was jubilant, the work efficiency increased significantly, and the income level was quite effective.
But the good times don't last long, slowly you will find that your home is slowly treacherous, always unknowingly feel that you have suffered a loss, go out to inquire a little, you know, it turns out that there are other big players in the game with you, then you understand, it turns out that you are not sitting at the table, but you still haven't left the table.
You think that you don't want to gamble for fear of losing money, but there will always be other big players who are suppressing you intentionally or unintentionally.
You are furious in your heart, and you are determined to give those guys a little color, but you have just sat down at the table, and you don't want to follow a series of blows one after another, either this one initiates an investigation, or the other one has conducted a drill on your doorstep, and when you struggle hard, use your strength, sit in a stable position, and get used to it, you find that you have left a lot of foreign debts, faintly coerced by the game, and you are already a little involuntarily.
At this time, you understand that with the trend of the times, even the big players have opened up the level, and some bigwigs in suits and leather shoes seem to be majestic on the surface, and their days are prosperous, but they are only second-rate.
In this new era, with the continuous prosperity of the economy and the continuous development of science, the grade standards of the top big players have been renovated, so that the big players are also divided into layers and generations.
Those big players who win more and more and earn a lot of money are not only sitting more and more stable at the original level, but also relying on strong capital and huge talents, they have continuously developed many new toys and added countless hole cards for themselves.
And those players who lose more and more will inevitably shrink back, and they can't even keep their hegemonic assets.
The gambling game between big players, that is the regular way of competition between you and me, is the ability of all aspects, not only than the population, but also more than the economy, politically gangs and factions, military self-respect, no matter what you can't cope with, it is equivalent to you exposing a huge flaw, people know that you can't do this, you won't talk about gentlemen, talk about courtesy, but which pot doesn't open which pot, where there is a short board, you will be beaten to your shortcomings, I can't wait to beat you together, killed!
You're depressed but there's nothing you can do, if you have a gun, then you're a big player, and you're qualified to play with everyone, but having a gun isn't everything, economic things can't be solved by guns, and things in governance can't be settled with just a gun.
At the end of the day, it's not uncommon for you to have a good gun, but you're beaten to death.
Hold on, keep the gun, and you're still a second-rate big player.
But if you can't hold it and lose all your guns, you'll inevitably be killed and eaten.
