Merchants have the lowest level of loyalty to the state. Their free movement means they can easily abscond with the wealth of another country and then pledge allegiance to another host they deem suitable. They can make another choice as long as the circumstances and price are right.
Everything was going very smoothly for the Jews, but they never expected that after entering Japan and South Korea, they would be immediately devoured by local capitalists.
Capitalism? Take a look at the bureaucratic capitalism of Japan and South Korea, specifically the chaebols. They directly rob you using their privileges. Do you like this kind of capitalist country?
It's too late if you don't like it now. Just hand over your wealth honestly, and we might be merciful enough to leave you some money for retirement. Otherwise, your money and your life are mine.
In a daze, the Jews felt as if they had returned to the Middle Ages and been robbed by the Church.
This time, however, their American sons won't be there to support them.
As for other countries, in impoverished, non-modern societies, those Jewish gentlemen accustomed to steak and red wine would find it unbearable.
But they don't have that many choices on Earth now.
Jews, especially the high-level capitalist Jews, have always followed the powerful and acted as high-level parasites. Now they can no longer find new targets to parasitize, and the world situation is turning in a direction unfavorable to them, which makes them very panicked.
Because Israel also joined the attacks against the Cyber Tambo faction, it was deindustrialized, with all its weapons and factories destroyed. As a result, in the fifth Middle East war in 2006, Israel was destroyed, or rather, the angry Arabs massacred Israel, completely annihilating them in the annals of history.
Western countries, having lost their industrial power, dared not condemn Arab countries that still had some industrial foundation. No matter how badly they were doing, they were still better than you, a bastard whose industry had been wiped out.
The only good news is that the Cybertronians didn't cause a complete extermination of the entire Western world. Those Western researchers and engineers are still around, and if they're willing to gradually retrace their technological steps, they can still...
Well, no, that's not possible. After industrialization was physically crippled, a large number of talented people from Europe and the United States flocked to China, as well as other industrialized countries. Europe and the United States have tried to restrict this, but it's useless. You know, right now, European and American technicians can still fetch a good price when they go abroad, but once China gradually begins to digest and use new technologies, they will become worthless.
No one can bear to spend their whole life studying and striving, only to end up sweeping the streets.
After considering all of this, the Jews realized that they had lost everything they were proud of, and they could no longer rely on the power of any country to protect themselves, let alone the United States, which is now a paradise for Japan and South Korea, where the Jews' status has been diminished.
They're not even as good as white Americans.
In the past year alone, more than 300,000 Jews disappeared in the former northern part of the United States East Coast, which was under Japanese control. And in the current North American territories of Japan and South Korea, the most common activities are the trafficking of human organs and corpses.
Where did those Jews go? It's so hard to guess (reading aloud).
Jews around the world have begun to despair. Many have abandoned all their past beliefs, tried to erase any trace of Jewish identity, disguised themselves as other ethnic groups, and disappeared from the Jewish community. This has led to a reduction of more than two-thirds of the Jewish population in just two years.
The rest are either extreme religious conservatives like the Haredi Jews or die-hard Jewish extremists, who would be unwelcome in any country, and no one would stand up to say anything if they were killed.
Because after the destruction of Israel, all the terrible things that the country had done were exposed and the world was shocked that there was still such a beastly country in the 21st century. All international sympathy for the Jews after World War I was swept away. In addition, after the forced deindustrialization of Western countries, in order to obtain funds to restart or simply make up for losses, they specifically targeted the Jews.
Looking across the globe, this was the darkest era for the Jewish people.
Some Jews had even begun to fantasize about leaving Earth. Just then, Xinhua unveiled the Tiangong space station, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people. Its internal ecosystem was already self-contained, making it a man-made ecosystem with the ability to travel long distances. This was an opportunity that Jews had been dreaming of.
Since Earth has become so dangerous, let's leave it and go to the universe to find a new promised land.
"Keep the trash in the Demon-Sealing Tower, don't throw it out and disgust people." This was Qin Shan's attitude.
"This nation is indeed a bit..." Optimus Prime clearly didn't like Jews either.
“We will conduct a rigorous review,” Chairman Sun Wanbang said with a smile.
Xinhua will absolutely not do the kind of direct, official rejection of Jews. On the contrary, some Jews will be accepted, but these Jews will have very few Jewish characteristics, or they may be Jews who have already abandoned Judaism. Their thinking is no different from others, and they have become completely secular.
Those purest Jewish groups certainly wouldn't recognize these people as Jews, but as long as these people claim to be Jewish, Xinhua officially assumes they are Jewish. We respect others' choices, but on Xinhua's territory, everyone must abide by the law. Whether you recognize them or not is your problem; whether we recognize them or not is the key point.
Do you understand? Only the strong can define who is Jewish.
This move would absolutely overload the brains of the Jewish people who have been wandering for two thousand years.
The wisdom of wandering for thousands of years versus the wisdom of dominating Asia for five thousand years—we are indeed stronger (smile).
No one dislikes small change, and those who offer it voluntarily are especially welcome. However, you need to consider the technical aspects when it comes to implementation. Look at those big spenders; they don't complain at all. That's true respect for technology.
South America, Porto Chanca
This area is now Xinhua's overseas special economic zone, specially approved by Peru and directly assigned to Xinhua.
Now every country knows that as long as they associate with Xinhua, they will reap countless benefits. Even if it's just a little bit leaked from under their fingernails, it's enough for these countries to make a fortune.
In addition, Xinhua has a particular fondness for investing in manufacturing, creating a large number of jobs locally. These people will become pro-China under the drive of economic interests. Furthermore, given the Western democratic system, if the local people do not support you, you will not be able to come to power. If you affect the local people's livelihoods, do you think you can come to power?
With the support of new technologies, Xinhua's economic scale and trade capacity have become quite formidable. The economic benefits brought by the port of Chancae can drive a trade cycle tenfold or even a hundredfold, forming a massive economic flow that, on the surface, only creates tens of thousands of jobs but actually affects millions of people, and accounts for a high proportion of Peru's GDP.
It's important to understand that Peru's total population is only over 30 million. This level of economic impact is equivalent to Peru's Shanghai; its very existence is a benchmark and a symbol that has truly enriched the local people.
A port can change a country; this is a true reflection of Xinhua's power.
Following Peru's successful example, other South American countries are eager for similar opportunities and are actively communicating with Xinhua, hoping to establish special economic zones or similar entities within their own borders.
However, beneath this prosperous surface lies an undercurrent of unrest. Even in Peru, which has begun to prosper, once you leave Puerto Chancay, you will still discover the country's biggest problem.
Outdated education, functionally illiterate population, dilapidated and scarce infrastructure, and pervasive corruption.
This is a common problem in South American countries, and it was also transmitted to them by the United States. Another impact of Western democracy is that politicians take turns in office, each without taking responsibility. They make a quick buck when they come to power and then go off to enjoy themselves when they leave office.
As for fighting corruption, please, if you really start investigating, it'll get out of control. It could easily turn into a nationwide political purge. You really can't investigate; what if you uncover something that can't be said? Although the regime has declined, Humphrey's influence still lingers among civil servants in countries around the world.
But if we want to truly fight against enemies from outer space, humanity must unite. The way things are now is definitely not going to work. If we leave them at Huazhong Agricultural University, they'll only end up being taken to the riverbank.
Their purity is too low; they need to be heavily instilled with a new ideology.
Coincidentally, many players in Qinshan are skilled at this kind of thing.
Section 54: Exposure in Progress
Those who frequently read Lin Yizhe (a popular online bookstore chain) know that long-distance livestock farming in Europe and America is highly developed, to the point of distorting the truth and having a far-reaching and pernicious influence. Why are there so many people born in the 1980s and 1990s among Lin Yizhe's readers?
One very important reason is that our propaganda and education have produced many brainwashed "banana people" (people who are culturally Westernized but intellectually disabled).
There are also some people who are patriotic, but have been misled by the West.
For example, when Qin Shan was in junior high school, his Chinese teacher firmly believed that China's victory in the Korean War was achieved through sheer human wave tactics, and that the US military withdrew because they had killed so many that they chose to stop out of humanitarian considerations.
However, in real life, this Chinese language teacher firmly believes that neither Europe nor America are good things.
They think that Europe and America are not good, but they also think that they have a conscience. They are stubborn and try to please both sides.
It might seem outrageous, but it actually happened.
This is under the condition that people are misled. For example, Qin Shan's father believed for a considerable period of time that Japanese toilet water was drinkable, but at the same time he firmly stated that he would donate money to fight Japan, as much as he could.
Our country's compulsory education coverage and quality are among the best in the world. Even so, a large number of "banana people" (people who believe in Western culture but are culturally Westernized) have emerged in the education and propaganda systems, singing praises to their American and European "daddies" without asking for a penny. This fully demonstrates the brainwashing art of Europe and America in propaganda and public opinion.
There are many reasons for this problem, but it must be admitted that we ourselves lost the position of public opinion, which led to a flood of enemy propaganda that not only breached the moat but also polluted a large area of water sources.
Although most Chinese people after Zhengda have seen through the true colors of Europe and America, some influences last a lifetime and are independent of one's subjective will. For example, the discourse power of Europe and America, and their various selection criteria, were regarded as golden rules by us, and we tried to get closer to them. Only after we got closer did we realize that they were just fooling us.
What's wrong with developed countries? Their lower classes still live on orange juice.
This is why we need to revive class narratives, because national narratives will ultimately just become another bourgeois carnival, using bourgeois standards to defeat capitalism, which is truly the funniest joke in the world.
Given a fixed level of productivity, the paths people can choose are limited; this is an objective fact.
So why did we lose our propaganda front?
To be honest, we were a force to be reckoned with in terms of propaganda and public opinion back then. Many American soldiers on the Korean battlefield were moved by us, realized their mistakes, and devoted themselves to the socialist construction of New China.
However, after the cold snap in spring, many scoundrels seized control of the discourse, and they were unwilling and unwilling to speak up for the people.
I've worked so hard to get through this, it's time for me to enjoy myself. What class are you? What class am I? Why should I speak for you? You lowly commoners, straighten your posture! Don't try to eat swan meat with a toad!
This is similar to boiling water – whether you light the fire from the top or the bottom. Lighting it from the top means the water evaporates as steam, while lighting it from the bottom truly warms the cold water. Since some people are unwilling to let the bottom heat up first, Qin Shan has no choice but to let them cool down first.
In any case, the dead won't offer any advice, and the dead can serve as a warning that's more useful than the living.
However, the situation in Xinhua in World Thirteen is different. They have undergone a complete self-revolution and completed a super-planned economy. Relying on quantum computers and controlled nuclear fusion, they have achieved strong control over the country's resources. It's just that because it has been a short time, some areas have not yet been covered, but overall, they have created a very good situation.
After the economic base has been completely transformed, the next step is to liquidate the entire superstructure. The garbage on the propaganda front will naturally be swept away and quieted down, allowing other more capable people to take over.
However, the publicity effect was only mediocre, deserving a score of 60 out of 100.
One important reason for this situation is that propaganda personnel are not open-minded, have too low political sensitivity, and are afraid of making mistakes.
Don't laugh. The civil service system is afraid of making mistakes. For the vast majority of civil servants, it's better not to do anything than to make a mistake. They'd rather take a step back at a critical moment than not do anything at all. In peacetime, as long as they slowly accumulate seniority, they can always leave with a respectable and hard-earned life before retirement.
Life is just like that – simple, unadorned, and monotonous.
What if there are even more people in a government who need to get things done?
It's very simple: asset disclosure, performance scoring, public oversight, and annual plan progress indicators, etc. But most importantly, you need a transparent and open system to deal with problems seriously once they are discovered.
If corrupt officials at the national level were caught and executed without hesitation, many problems would be easily solved.
When it comes to money versus life, the vast majority of people would choose the former. How many problems were solved after Liu and Zhang were executed?
World Thirteen can do this now, so their organizational talent development is just lacking in time, not talent. But now, Qin Shan can help speed it up.
A large number of players began to make their voices heard through various media channels, creating their own media platforms on the internet. These fearless monitors are like precise laser scalpels for a country, capable of accurately removing lesions, especially when the filming equipment and live broadcasts in their hands cannot be blocked or interfered with.
Back in the day, when something happened somewhere, the local officials' first reaction was to arrest reporters and drones everywhere. They even set up jammers. They were really masters at covering things up.
But now, hehe, I'm going to give you a little shock.
"As you can see, thick smoke is rising from the chemical plant behind me. This place is located in..."
The players were very efficient. The live stream had already started, and the local bureaucracy was in an uproar. However, in their frustration, they quickly realized that they couldn't catch the people offline, interfere with their drones, or even disconnect them. They could only watch helplessly as what happened was exposed to the entire nation.
As for mobilizing the police and the army, hehehe, you try it. If you succeed in this situation, you'll be shot. The Party's command of the gun is an absolute red line and a prohibition of the central authority. What happened to the "brave" people in history who did this? Look up the books.
Don't bring up things like "big involvement," "interest groups," or "being let off the hook," and then you can't even produce any solid evidence. Doing this kind of thing challenges the authority and bottom line of everyone in the central government. If you think everyone at the top is a bad guy, then the bad guys know even better what will happen to them if the force gets out of control, so they should be even more resolute in suppressing it.
Do you think our 5,000 years of history is a blank paper? That young American played it too crudely; at best, it's only at the level of the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.
When this force cannot be stopped, smart bureaucrats will immediately realize what they should do. You can, of course, completely ignore their good deeds, but even driven by the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, they will make the right choice when they are powerless to resist. As for shirking their duties, that's out of the question, because they will be discovered and reported, and then things will become "You don't want to be an official, but there are plenty of people who do."
Turning the knife inward is the most difficult, but also the most effective, because it cultivates internal strength, reducing one's internal energy consumption to a safe level. However, if the enemy cannot do this, then every bit of their internal energy consumption will become our potential amplified tenfold.
Especially after Xinhua broadcast the documentaries "Confessions" and "The Downfall of Corrupt Officials".
Please note that the people featured in the documentary went directly to the execution ground after filming, so their every word and action is the most authentic portrayal. Except for the final interview, the preceding content was filmed in secret, fully demonstrating the despair, madness, collapse, and wails of these people before their death.
The public expressed their enjoyment of watching and hoped that efforts would be intensified.
The cadres who were truly willing to serve the people were filled with enthusiasm, feeling that the country had entered a great era.
The officials with guilty consciences were terrified, and some even confessed their mistakes as soon as they left home, hoping not to be killed for their conscience.
Looking at those contents, the thought of possibly becoming the main character, being infamous for eternity, and even implicating one's descendants, makes anyone with a shred of decency know what to do.
They're really shameless; there's nothing to say about them once they're caught.
Xinhua News Agency imitated the legal policies of the People's Revolutionary Party: if officials are arrested and then try to evade, remain silent, resist, or deliberately spread misinformation, their crimes will be compounded once the evidence is conclusive.
Those executed by firing squad will all be replaced with gallows to be air-dried. I bet you're not afraid.
People who embark on the path of corruption, I dare not say anything else, are definitely not very bold.
"Shocking."
After an anti-corruption storm, Chairman Sun discovered that Xinhua could use the recovered funds to build a super Pacific Fleet.
Thanks to the previous self-revolution, Xinhua in the Thirteenth World has already taken down a number of the biggest corrupt officials. No one has emerged who is aiming for a trillion, but among the remaining small fry, there are still hundreds of millions or billions. Most of them are cash hidden at home or converted into real gold and silver, and have not circulated in the market.
Upon searching the suspect's home, wow! There were boxes and boxes of Moutai liquor, and countless other luxury goods, all hidden very well, wrapped up in layers underground, as if they were waiting to lay their eggs.
"At least we recovered them all; they were all minor issues," Qin Shan said with a smile.
Whether it's the People's Revolutionary Alliance in the local world or Xinhua in the thirteenth world, both are superpowers capable of enforcing the law in any country. Political asylum is only possible when the two powers are on equal footing; otherwise, they would all face extradition.
Why do so many people flee to the United States after committing crimes?
Because the probability of being extradited to other countries is extremely high, and Southeast Asia is even more of a no-go; if discovered, death is certain.
But now, if you're so capable, try escaping the solar system.
As the iron fist of the dictatorship of the proletariat continued to strike, a brand new era began.
Section 55: Chinese Proficiency Test Level 8 is Here!
Those who frequently build super-large space stations know that this thing is definitely a powerful tool for major powers. A huge man-made platform suspended in geosynchronous orbit has unlimited potential.
If Xinhua can launch a space station capable of holding 10 people into space, it also means that it can drop other weapons of similar size from space onto Earth.
This level of military strike would have been something only science fiction could imagine, even in the United States at its peak.
But now Xinhua has done it, so Xinhua is now the new sun for humanity.
Although there's a bit of exaggeration involved (the People's Revolutionary Alliance provided the funding, and the Cyber Tambo faction participated in the construction), as long as Xinhua holds control of this entity, Xinhua will remain the only sun in the hearts of all humanity on Earth.
What, you're not convinced? Believe it or not, a clean nuclear weapon with the yield of 10 TNT will give your family tree a good warming.
With the current technological level of the People's Revolutionary Alliance, many weapons from science fiction works can already be implemented in reality.
