Chapter 690 New Opportunities (Part 1)
Lille did not speak like a fugitive on the run, but like a threatening monarch of a great country.
These words are completely useful——
The main reason is that his condition is very convincing.
Even though Atlas has provided a large number of disabled people with prostheses that are almost indistinguishable from their original limbs and even have superior performance, normal people are still excluded from accepting large-scale prosthetics.
This kind of exclusion still exists even in the cyberpunk world where prosthetics have been popular in the market for hundreds of years:
People don’t understand prosthetic bodies or brain-computer interfaces, and tremble under the shadow of conspiracy theories and wars. Normal people would not choose to replace their own limbs if they were not forced by life.
As for those prosthetic bodies that are truly proven to be good things, ordinary people don’t have the chance to choose them.
For ordinary people, a higher degree of prostheticization can only mean one thing: they are increasingly unable to control themselves.
"Iron Man" is not a weapon, but Lear himself. This hearing was open to the public. No one with a normal mind would agree to force the full prostheticization of other people and transform humans into weapons.
Politicians hope to have powerful weapons, but smart politicians know that the power in their hands will gradually diminish with time and again willfulness, especially in such turbulent times.
Witnessing Roxon's brutality, the revelation of Tony Stark's death, and Leal's newfound attitude, there was a real realization that something was very wrong.
After the hearing ended, Lille spoke alone with members of parliament from some important countries——
The conversation was mainly conducted on behalf of the Speaker.
[Speaker Schultz: Mr. Li, you have brought us a big surprise, but if everything you show is true, then we will face a very dangerous enemy. 】
[Speaker Schultz: This could drag us into a world war. 】
"Speaker, do you think that the world's largest country is plunged into civil war and collapse, and other regions can be spared? Now it is a world war, and this is your chance."
The network completely collapsed and the financial system fell into a major collapse. Although the losses were real, the collapse was temporary.
The civil war in Berry Country is the absolute highlight: the value of the US dollar plummeted!
The foundation of the world currency is based on strong military power and a trade network formed over time. The former has been greatly reduced in deterrence with the outbreak of civil war, and the latter has also fallen apart with the outbreak of civil war.
Roxon will definitely use his already monopolized oil and his vast manufacturing industry to bind the U.S. dollar to help his allies stabilize their currency dominance. However, their reckless and failed measures will further push the neutrals away.
From a realistic perspective, the dominance that violence can bring may be absolute on a small scale, but pure violence cannot build a modern society. No matter what the opponents say, the idea of building a new world purely by relying on violence only exists in In fantasy.
Lille transmitted the strategic deployment map in the communication channel:
"The alternative to fossil energy has been proven to be completely feasible in Africa, and Africa has sufficient reserves of oil for raw material production."
"As long as we increase investment in Africa, we will be able to produce enough goods to support half the world or even the whole world. We don't need to rely on Roxon and its monopoly resources at all."
"The Atlas Group and the African Union's troops will organize a counterattack in the short term. As long as we capture Africa, we can squeeze the military bases in the Middle East and North Africa. Once the trade routes are opened, knowledge, resources and manpower will be Got very good cooperation.”
"All you have to do is give up dollar transactions, gradually invest euros in the development of this continent, and support us in winning this war."
Speaker Schulz did not speak: Lille's words seemed to mean that they did not need to send military support, which was a bit beyond his expectation, and it also made it easier for the EU to accept Lille's proposal.
[Speaker Schultz: It’s a good idea. I will reach a consensus with the parliament as soon as possible and discuss more details. 】
[Speaker Schulz: Finally, on behalf of the European Union, I welcome you, Mr. Li. 】
The communication was hung up, and Leal looked at Christopher beside him, who immediately came over to report the progress of the mission on the other end.
"Just now, President Barnes has arrived at Joint Base Andrews. Currently, about 32% of the troops in the United States have expressed their willingness to accept command, the remaining 24% have remained silent with the state government, 20% of the troops have lost contact, and the rest Already identified as an enemy."
"Barnes is trying to contact the satellite, but the efficiency is not high. The military communication base station is still sending signals, but the coverage is also relatively low."
"The space carrier and those fighter planes disappeared. It seems to be some kind of very advanced concealment system. Existing reconnaissance methods cannot detect the enemy, and the situation is somewhat passive."
After hearing this, Lille nodded slightly: "As time goes by, we will only win."
Christopher hesitated when he heard this. He used to ask Lille questions a lot, but now, it seems that Lille's state has given him too much pressure.
Although he had no intention of confronting Lear, this metal body was simply invincible.
Lille took the initiative and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I have a question, so we will help the euro become the next dollar. And we."
After he paused for a moment, Christopher mustered up the courage to say: "We are a country, we should have our own currency, our own system, our own."
"Christopher." Lille's metallic voice interrupted him, "It's a good idea, but it's too superficial.
The role of currency is just to make circulation smoother and make society more efficient.
The positive role of the financial system is to make the future less abstract, and to visualize future expectations by converting overdraft credit into visible currency.
But if we already have plans for the future and have a future, why do we still pursue the control of currency in a reverse order?"
Christopher studied in New York for a long time, and it can be seen that he really put a lot of effort and was very serious.
But currency is important, but currency is just a tool.
Lille's words made him stunned. He didn't fully understand the concept, but he felt that Lille made sense.
Lille continued, "However, making the abstract future concrete and the disposable resources concrete does help humans understand social rules.
But this is not the key, not now.
The key now is that the enemy is very powerful now, and the allies have no reason to be wary of us, so we naturally have no reason to be wary of them at this stage.
Now, our core people can understand what kind of future they want without money, so there is no need to consider these for the time being.
Now, let me meet them before I start the next step."
