Chapter 424: Prepare to Reach the Summit

Wang Haoran said: "Yes, they still have a huge system and they still occupy a large market."

"But we are the world leader in almost all high-tech industries."

"Although they always want to cut ties with us and block the market, they can't do it!"

"Their industrial chain is now completely dependent on us."

"In the era of large-scale industry, as long as we occupy the forefront of science and technology, we can gradually take the lead in the military industry."

"We are now able to suppress the Giant Eagle in the entire military industry. They have always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with us."

"Their market is gradually being eroded by us."

"They used to have green paper hegemony, and they could buy other people's products by printing money. Now, green paper hegemony is also collapsing."

"We previously introduced a policy that requires the use of RMB and real money to purchase advanced chips and other supporting products. Aren't they also complying with it?"

"This shows that the green paper hegemony is already eroding."

"After the collapse of the green paper hegemony, their overall decline will be inevitable."

"They may even start quarreling among themselves because of the uneven distribution of benefits."

"The Giant Eagle itself is a patchwork monster. It is composed mainly of Jusa and then absorbs immigrants from all over the world."

"The forces within the Giant Eagle are all here for profit."

“When the benefits become scarce, they are in danger of falling apart.”

"Leader, have you noticed? The giant eagles are shrinking. They are ready to withdraw from the Dongya area."

The leader nodded and said, "They are retreating to concentrate their strength and recuperate. I don't think they will just give up like that."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "They really won't give up."

"Their elites should also be aware of the decline of their power."

"So, they want to recycle their advantageous resources back to their own territory. They want to continue to thrive."

"However, times have changed. Even if they continue to pursue isolationism and want to grow and develop relying on their own internal resources, it is impossible."

"I think the main reason for the failure of the Giant Eagle is that they are too greedy. They always want to control the whole world and change it according to their own wishes."

"How is that possible?"

"They once had the opportunity to control the entire Americas, but they didn't want to have rivals around them, and they never thought about developing together with neighboring countries."

"Now, even if they want to control America, it's unlikely."

"Because we are accelerating trade with Latin American countries to help them develop more soundly."

“We have taken the lead there.”

"Their ultimate outcome is complete isolation, continued decline, and eventual disintegration."

The leader smiled and said, "It seems that we need to speed up the shipbuilding process."

"Because our navy is not strong enough at the moment. If we want to protect the shipping lanes, we must build a truly global navy."

Wang Haoran said: "Yes, we still have to continue making dumplings."

"The enemy retreats and I advance."

The leader asked, "When do you think the giant eagle will completely leave the foot basin?"

Wang Haoran said: "One year at most."

"The counterattack from the foot basin will definitely continue to intensify."

"I believe that we will soon see smoke all over the foot basin."

"The old man once said that even though the Giant Eagle has built bases all over the world, in the end, those bases will become hostages and become the Giant Eagle's own noose!"

"When it is strong, the base can enable it to achieve global domination."

"But when it starts to weaken, those bases will become targets of attack by others."

"How can a few thousand or tens of thousands of people control a country?"

"As long as the people of Foot Basin find out that the Giant Eagle's base in Foot Basin is so fragile, and that the Giant Eagle's soldiers are not invincible, then the Giant Eagle's suffering will begin."

"The Foot Basin People are actually quite vicious."

“I believe that the Giant Eagle will soon be engulfed in the vast ocean of the Foot Basin People’s War.”

"We just need to give them some assistance and then watch the show quietly."

After listening to Wang Haoran's words, the leader nodded and said, "What a vast ocean of people's war."

"That was very well said."

"However, I personally think that we still need to be wary of the foot basin."

"We can't let them grow stronger in the war with the Eagles."

"The most important point: we cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons!"

In fact, Jiaoben has always been ambitious and wants to own a nuclear bomb.

However, the Giant Eagle has been suppressing them and has been very strict in checking them.

There is no other way but to take a roundabout way to save the situation.

They pretended to be very submissive and served the giant eagle very well.

Then, they were allowed to use civilian nuclear facilities, mainly nuclear power plants.

Jiaoben is the first country in the entire Yazhou to use nuclear power plants.

It had its first nuclear power plant in 1963.

By the 80s, it already had dozens of nuclear power plants.

Some people claim that the United States already has the technology to refine uranium to weapons-grade purity.

Others say that if the United States wants, it can have nuclear weapons within a few hours.

In fact, Jiaoben has always been committed to possessing nuclear weapons.

They think that as long as they have nuclear weapons, they can immediately become independent and a superpower.

But the giant eagle never gave them this opportunity.

Now, the Eagle's influence is waning.

The giant eagle is now eager to reap the benefits to restore its health, and then leave the mess behind and evacuate.

As long as the Foot Basin continues to be in such a mess, Giant Eagle will soon be overwhelmed and will no longer be able to supervise the Foot Basin's nuclear program.

The problem the leader mentioned is really realistic.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Leader, we are now conducting electronic surveillance on the foot basin almost every day."

"Our drones are monitoring all suspicious locations."

"Once we find them trying to take risks, we can even stop them immediately."

The leader shook his head and said, "It's difficult to monitor everything."

"After all, we have no power of our own there."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "But they are using our network."

"As long as they use our network, we have the opportunity to learn everything we are interested in, just by filtering through keywords or suspicious code words."

"The Giant Eagle can achieve all-round control over the foot basin because of the traitor inside the foot basin."

"If we want to control the foot basin in the future, we have to learn from them."

The leader shook his head and said, "I have no interest in controlling them."

Wang Haoran said: "But if we don't control them, they will easily develop like wild horses and endanger us."

"So, we must keep them under strict control." "Leader, think about the Japanese invasion in history..."

"In order to survive, they must be ambitious and develop vigorously."

"And we should lock them up in the Footbasin Islands."

There will always be people discussing the question of which is better, the kingly way or the hegemonic way.

In fact, both have their advantages and disadvantages.

The king's way is upright and righteous. Use strength to influence and make you submit wholeheartedly.

What about domineering? It also uses strength to convince others, but it mainly focuses on using strength to defeat you!
Therefore, being overbearing requires threats from time to time.

Look at Giant Eagle, it flies its aircraft carrier close to people’s homes from time to time.

This is how to subdue people by force.

The Kingly Way can last for a long time, but when the subject that implements it becomes weak, it will collapse very quickly.

Historically, when the dragon was implementing its kingly way, even if the dragon dynasty was still powerful, there would be small scumbags jumping up to its feet to annoy people.

Look at the foot basin. During the Tang Dynasty, they attacked the dragon. In all the dynasties that followed, they were never honest and had made attempts.

By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they became more and more rampant.

Why does this happen?
The main reason is that he has more kingly way than he does overbearing way.

A tyrant will subdue you and not give you a chance to make a comeback. He will directly station troops there to tame his elite ruling class and make them his slaves for generations to come!
Why did the unruly foot basin become so obedient after being defeated by the eagle?

Isn't it because the Giant Eagle castrated the Foot Basin and used a set of effective measures to control the elites of the Foot Basin? If you dare to disobey, he will deal with you.

In the end, Jiaoben became Eagle's loyal dog.

Even till now, even though the Giant Eagle has declined greatly, the elites of the Foot Basin still dare not put up any open resistance.

Therefore, the kingly way must be followed, but the hegemonic way cannot be absent either!

The kingly way is the main one, and the hegemonic way is the auxiliary one.

Only in this way can the chaotic forces in the world be tamed.

Especially a rebellious thing like the foot basin, it must be held firmly in the palm of your hand.

Wang Haoran explained his thoughts.

The leader nodded and said, "The kingly way must be combined with the hegemonic way. Well said!"

"So, let's do it!"

"Haoran, I think you are actually good at politics..."

Wang Haoran knew what leadership meant.

He waved his hand and said, "Leader, I'm not interested in this."

"I still hope to prosper our country through science and industry."

"Besides, I have another suggestion."

"I hope we will pay attention."

The leader signaled Song Qingfeng to prepare for recording and said, "Just tell me what you want!"

Wang Haoran said: "We must establish an absolutely fair and just talent selection mechanism!"

"We must not give anyone in power the opportunity to exploit loopholes!"

"Recently I saw some academic committee members advocating abolishing the college entrance examination, allowing universities to recruit students independently, and implementing a recommendation mechanism. I think this person is worthy of death!"

"The college entrance examination can be said to be the fairest system! It has a great effect on poor students!"

"If the college entrance examination is abolished and universities recruit students independently, what kind of recommendation mechanism will be implemented? Think about who will go to university?"

"They are all related people! They are all children of the privileged class!"

“Is there still room for ordinary people to rise?”

“This is a very serious problem!”

"What surprised me most was that this academic committee member also got a lot of signatures of support!"

“Is this an attempt to restore the monarchy?”

Wang Haoran's words were very sharp.

The leader's face also turned serious. He said, "I know about this."

"It is definitely impossible for the country to adopt that opinion."

"But he has the power to make suggestions."

Wang Haoran sighed, nodded and said, "He has the right to make suggestions."

"But I see that many media outlets actually agree with this."

"There are even media outlets that are advocating that the college entrance examination is rigid and that it is useless no matter how high the test-takers' scores are. This argument is simply chilling!"

"Not to mention anything else, more than 80% of the scientists in our company are small town test-takers!"

“We have made achievements that are world-leading!”

"What is gratifying is that, in stark contrast to the media, on the self-media internet platform, we see that our self-media's views are quite correct! Everyone believes that the college entrance examination is the best mechanism for selecting talents! We must also plug all the loopholes in the special recruitment of colleges and universities!"

"Our strength comes from the people, and we must serve the people wholeheartedly! This is my attitude!"

The leader nodded and said, "There are indeed quite a few people in our media who have big problems. I know that."

"But we can't be extreme. We need to change it little by little."

"Comrade Haoran, you know, we have only a few decades of history, and it is difficult to reform all those old and young people."

"All we have to do is provide guidance and steer social trends in the right direction!"

Wang Haoran nodded: "Leader, you are right."

"I was a little too impatient."

The leader laughed and said, "Young people are hot-blooded, so they always want to solve problems quickly."

"However, there are many problems that are not easy to solve in a short period of time! We still need time to settle them."

"I think the civil service examination system we have in place is pretty good."

"Everything should be standardized and institutionalized. Only in this way can we ensure the greatest fairness!"

Wang Haoran said: "I would also like to propose that the academic committee members should not be appointed for life, but should be appointed on a contract basis, and they should also be evaluated! Those who are incompetent should not be appointed!"

"Because I've discovered that our academic committee members are very likely to become academic cliques, and then turn the scientific research institute into a fixed interest group!"

"This is a very scary thing."

The leader nodded and said, "This is a very good proposal! The lifetime tenure of academic committee members is indeed not a good idea. In addition, the selection of academic committee members seems to have some major problems."

"I found that many academic committee members are just filling in the numbers! They get in through connections or even bribes, and then they can get a lot of research funds! They don't do anything serious with the funds, they just write papers and put the funds into their own pockets!"

Wang Haoran was very surprised. He didn't expect that his leader knew so much about it.

This kind of despicable situation is actually a very gray thing.

Before the market economy, this situation was actually rare.

But after marketization, many people have indeed lost their faith, and their ideals have begun to become vulgar.

This is a sad thing.

Wang Haoran said: "Leader, we have the potential to regain the top spot in the world."

"I think we must make preparations for this..." (End of this chapter)
