Chapter 425: Dogs Don’t Listen Anymore
Topping the globe is a big deal.
A few years ago, no one would have predicted that the dragon would quickly rise to the top of the world.
But today, people in almost every country in the world are increasingly aware of this possibility.
As long as you are not blind or stupid, you can see the current trend of the East rising and the West declining.
In fact, in this day and age, the Giant Eagle has never really reached the top of the world.
Because it only inherited a little more than half of the mantle from Daiying.
Even though its industry and technology have received a large amount of talent and capital from old Europe, they are now far ahead of the world.
But it still has to face rivals like giant bears.
Even though the giant bear is inferior in economic terms, it has stronger cohesion and organizational capabilities.
In the field of heavy industry, it is not much behind Giant Eagle.
Therefore, the bear, with a strength of only about one-third of the giant eagle's overall economic strength, can fight the eagle on equal terms.
In fact, since the late 60s, because the Eagle had previously consumed too many resources on Bangbang and Yuehou and its national strength was extremely exhausted, the Bear was in an aggressive and proactive offensive posture for about ten years.
If the Eagle had not been good at fraud and staged a fake manned moon landing, which caused a global sensation, deceived the people of the world, attracted a large number of fans, made the world take notice of it, and re-consolidated its alliance system, then perhaps, once people's hearts were scattered, the Eagle would have had no chance of competing for hegemony at all.
If the Eagle wanted to become the world's unrivaled overlord in the true sense, it had to wait until the early 90s in its previous life, following the bear's self-destruction, and it ate a wave of giant bear's corpses. This was achieved.
However, in this life, Eagle should not expect to have such a good opportunity as in the previous life.
Some people say that Britain was the first world hegemon in the true sense of the word.
This statement is actually not quite accurate.
The British colonies are indeed the most numerous.
But throughout its reign, it had competitors.
The French chicken has been fighting with it for more than a hundred years.
For a long time, Britain and France were the two strongest countries.
Although the colonies occupied by France are slightly less than those of Britain, they are not much less.
By the end of the 19th century, British competitors emerged one after another.
After the Civil War, Giant Eagle's industry developed rapidly, and within 30 years its industrial output value surpassed that of Britain.
On Old Europe's side, Hans was also developing rapidly, his power was expanding rapidly, and he was quickly approaching Dai Ying in the naval field.
All this makes it impossible for Britain to become a true world hegemon.
The summit that Wang Haoran talked about is the summit in the truest sense: no competitors, a cliff-like lead, leaving all opponents far behind in all aspects.
The possibility of Long achieving this goal is now becoming increasingly greater.
In fact, a dragon does not need to compare itself with any force. As long as it can truly make itself better and better, that is enough.
When you actually reach the top, how should you plan for the future?
In fact, throughout thousands of years of history, dragons have always been the ceiling of civilization.
In the early stages of establishing their dynasties, the founding emperors of countless dynasties were very diligent and hardworking.
But because of the long period of peace and the lack of competitors, they gradually became lazy.
This is the same as ordinary people.
Take a village as an example. When the male head of a family built the most luxurious five-room tiled house in the village with his hard work, while others were still living in thatched houses, the male head basically had no motivation to strive for success and only thought about how to enjoy life. Then, because of his mess, he may quickly start to go downhill. This is called prosperity must decline.
If we want to continue the upward spiral of development, we need to have more ambitious goals and plans.
In fact, the dragon had already made plans for the future after reaching the summit.
This plan is written in the history textbooks, that is: the world of great harmony!
Wang Haoran now just hopes that the dragon can walk more steadily.
He sincerely hopes that the dragon can reach the top of the world and then successfully transform the world, making it a happy home for all mankind.
Now has come to the most critical moment.
The more times like this happen, the more you cannot be impatient. You must be careful and cautious and gradually accumulate advantages.
Thousands of years of human civilization have almost always been accompanied by killing and suffering.
Human beings have been wasting their time among themselves for thousands of years. This should not continue.
Why can't all of humanity work together to expand our living space into the universe and outer space?
After talking with the leader, Wang Haoran also had a meal with him.
The leader was obviously in high spirits, so he asked Wang Haoran to accompany him for a drink.
After returning from his leader and arriving at the office, Wang Haoran logged into the Japanese section of Weibo again.
He paid special attention to the blog post posted by Ichiro Kobayashi.
After the Giant Eagle Base was attacked and bombed last night, Ichiro Kobayashi made a news comment at noon that day.
Ichiro Kobayashi said in his commentary blog post: The targeted bombing of the Giant Eagle Base fully illustrates three points.
First, the Giant Eagle is indeed a paper tiger. The Eagle Army has become extremely corrupt, its discipline is bad, and its combat effectiveness is very poor.
Second, the people of Jiaoben have awakened. The majority of Jiaoben people have realized that as long as they dare to fight, they can cause fatal damage to the Giant Eagle. As long as everyone stands up and contributes their own strength, the Giant Eagle will not be able to withstand the angry condemnation of the people of Jiaoben.
Third, the Foot Basin authorities are completely corrupt! The Foot Basin authorities cannot represent the interests of the Foot Basin people at all! They have completely sunk into the running dogs of the Giant Eagle! Faced with the Giant Eagle's step-by-step pressure and exploitation, the Foot Basin authorities dare not resist at all! But even so, Kobayashi Ichiro still believes that in order to avoid being abandoned by the people, the Foot Basin authorities should make changes immediately!
"If you don't change, you will definitely be overthrown by the people in the future!"
"You should learn to draw on the power of the people! Instead of continuing to be timid and choosing to live in disgrace in order to preserve your present wealth and glory!"
"You have great power. As long as you stand up and make your appeal, you will get the support of the people across the country!"
"I hope you will stop aiding and abetting evil!"
Kobayashi Ichiro also warned Giant Eagle: "Giant Eagle, if you still choose to continue to madly suppress the people of Jiaoben, you will be resisted by the whole people!"
"The people of Jiaoben are very brave. Don't try to scare us with bloodshed!"
"Now, your best option is to get out of this foot basin immediately!"
"You leave now, this is the time when you will suffer the least loss."
"If you continue to want to be enemies with the people in the foot basin, you will not be able to sleep safely from today on! No matter where you are, you will be attacked! Your base will no longer be as safe as before."
This blog post by Ichiro Kobayashi is simply a battle cry.
Wang Haoran nodded repeatedly after watching this.
It seems that people with foot basins today are not completely numb yet.
Ichiro Kobayashi is one of the grassroots leaders that Wang Haoran focused on investigating.
Judging from the current situation, Ichiro Kobayashi is the one who performed the best.
What’s even more rare is that he was once a member of the Red Army.
Let's see how he performs next.
If he can quickly unite more people and truly organize a huge opposition force, then Ichiro Kobayashi will be able to take on the important task.
Foot basin, Giant Eagle Consulate.
Consul Howard is currently on the phone with Prime Minister Inoue Kintake.
It has been 24 hours since the Giant Eagle Base was attacked.
The Jiaoben authorities claimed that they had blocked off the entire urban area of Dongjing City and were making every effort to capture the attackers.
Hundreds of suspects have been arrested.
But in the end they were all released.
Because, after questioning, one thing has been confirmed: they are all innocent.
Howard has made several phone calls to Inoue Jinwu in the past 24 hours.
Every time he spoke, he was extremely arrogant and domineering. And what about Inoue Jinwu?
Every time he answered the phone, he was very polite and humble, and said he was fully cooperating.
However, the attacker was too cunning.
So far no clues have been found.
"Inoue! If you can't solve this problem yourselves, then don't blame us for solving it ourselves!"
"We will send soldiers to handle this personally within the next day!"
Howard threatened.
Inoue Jinwu smiled and said, "Mr. Howard, if your people can come forward to help, that would be great."
"But I hope you can maintain order."
"You know, if order is not maintained, situations will arise that will cause complaints from our people and will draw condemnation from world public opinion."
"We have also invited hundreds of reporters from major media outlets from various countries to come and cover this matter."
"Among them, the dragon clearly pointed out that the reason why the giant eagle was targeted by the people of the foot basin was mainly because of its past perverse actions and persecution of the people of the foot basin, which caused great public resentment!"
"The dragon calls on the eagle to be calm enough and not to harm the people of the foot basin!"
Inoue Jinwu smiled and said the most cowardly words, but the content of his words moved Howard a little.
Because, he mentioned the dragon.
More than once!
The dragons say they are keeping a close eye on what's happening in the foot basin.
The dragon actually said that the giant eagle was attacked because they persecuted the people of Foot Basin.
Howard cannot but take this seriously.
Because the dragon's power is projected too fast!
The foot basin is right next to the dragon's mouth.
"Hmph! Mr. Inoue, are you trying to scare me with this?" Howard said with a sneer.
Inoue Jinwu smiled and said, "I definitely wouldn't dare to scare you."
"I'm just afraid..."
Howard asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Inoue Jinwu said: "I am afraid that you will arouse the anger of our people."
"Some of your recent actions have really annoyed the people of Foot Basin."
"Everyone is saying that what you are doing is not what an ally would do. You are trying to send the foot basin to hell."
"Our people can no longer survive because of some of your actions."
Inoue Jinwu gritted his teeth and said these words.
He was expressing his dissatisfaction in a subtle way.
Howard frowned. He didn't care what the Foot Basin Man thought. What did it have to do with him whether the Foot Basin Man was dead or alive?
What he cares about is how the local authorities do it.
He said: "The situation of Weibo in your country is very bad right now!"
“Have you read Weibo?”
Inoue Jinwu thought to himself, of course I have seen it.
I sincerely hope that all the people in the whole basin will be mobilized.
Inoue Jinwu cursed in his heart.
He continued to be servile: "I seldom read Weibo, because we don't trust this media platform."
Howard Hand: "The situation on Weibo is very dangerous!"
"There are quite a few guys shouting and yelling at us Giant Eagle!"
"These people must be severely punished."
Inoue Jinwu said: "God, I seriously doubt that those people are not foot basin people!"
"Because we, the people of Jiaoben, are the most gentle and polite."
"We have great respect for the Giant Eagle. Our people consider the Giant Eagle their best friend."
Howard said, "You mean: the incident last night was not done by someone in your territory?"
Inoue Jinwu said: "Yes! It was definitely not done by our people."
"It must have been done by an outsider."
"Mr. Howard, I suspect the dragon's men have come in."
"They are causing trouble, and they hope to drive you away."
Howard snorted and said, "According to our own investigation, the people who committed the terrorist attack last night were women! Very young women!"
"There's no way a dragon would let a little girl do something like this!"
“This is obviously your style!”
Inoue Jinwu sighed and said, "Mr. Howard, everything is just your guess."
“We sincerely hope that you can trust us.”
"After all, we are the closest allies."
Howard said: "I demand that those guys in the Japanese section of Weibo who did everything they could to attack our Giant Eagle be thoroughly investigated and arrested!"
Inoue Jinwu said timidly: "Yes, yes! You are right, those guys should all be arrested."
"But we have no idea who those people are."
“Weibo certainly won’t provide it to us.”
"Mr. Howard, if you can get the information of those guys, we can arrest them immediately. Is this okay?"
Howard: "..."
Howard thought, if my special brew could get Weibo to cooperate, then what am I talking about here?
Howard said: "According to our investigation, there is a Red Newspaper editor named Kobayashi Ichiro who is very likely a dangerous person!"
"Catch him and extradite him to us!"
Inoue Jinwu shook his head: "Without actual evidence, we definitely can't arrest anyone."
“Right now our people are very angry.”
"If we arrest people indiscriminately, it will only make people more angry."
Howard snorted and said, "Damn it, Inoue-kun, it seems that you are no longer willing to cooperate with us!"
Inoue Jinwu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Howard, I have always cooperated with you. I have tried my best to cooperate."
"Because I am the most loyal friend of the Giant Eagle."
"I am deeply saddened by your saying that."
Howard said, "We will go out and catch Kobayashi Ichiro ourselves!"
"Mr. Inoue, I gave you a chance, but you refused to take it. Then, I'm afraid you won't have a good time in the future!"
Howard is crazy.
Inoue Jinwu was very angry, but he still continued to deal with it humbly. (End of this chapter)
