Great time travel

Chapter 59. The Inevitable War

Half a month later, Arnus Hill, the office of the mayor of Arnus
In the past few days, as the first mayor of this new city, Comrade Wang Meiling has been very, very busy - the modern Earth on the other side of the "gate" is being held one after another with rounds of multi-party talks The South China Sea crisis, which was once extremely hot and almost ignited a world nuclear war, has finally cooled down slowly.Now that it has initially come up with an aftermath plan acceptable to both China and the United States, it is just waiting for a bunch of small countries around the South China Sea to bow their heads and sign contracts.And Alnus City’s exotic tourism project can finally start its trial operation, and it is ready to open to the rich people all over the world-the first batch of people who can experience the fun of traveling in other worlds are definitely not rich. Even if it is expensive, how can it be ranked without any status?

Then, on the Farmat continent in the fantasy world on the side of the "gate", the imperial civil war with corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing into rivers, accompanied by the raging fire that burned the city, gradually came to an end. The follow-up influence is far from over-the hundreds of thousands of troops under the victorious new emperor Soshar are continuing to burn, kill and loot on the fertile plains opposite the Romanian mountains, massacring the territories of political opponents.The wave of refugees caused by this has gradually flowed across the mountains and arrived at the Earl of Vermar centered on Ita Rica, and people began to arrive at Arnus Hill to pray for the protection and relief of the Chinese.And after the victory of the rebellion, Soshar, the great prince who is said to be known for his cruelty and irascibility, will make people feel a little confused about what attitude he will have towards them, the earthlings who are entrenched on Mount Arnus .

However, before responding to the above changes, the first thing Mayor Wang Meiling ushered in was a new round of organizational adjustment plan.

"...Arnus City is included in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and accepts the leadership of the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council?"

Madam Mayor looked at the red-headed document wonderingly, "...But, during the military control period, hasn't Hong Kong's Legislative Council been adjourned indefinitely?"

——At first glance, since the location of the Space-Time Gate is in Hong Kong's Victoria Bay, it seems logical that Arnus City, which is opposite the gate, should be placed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.But Mayor Wang Meiling obviously felt that there must be something tricky behind this matter.

However, she couldn't see any clues that something was particularly wrong for a while, so she could only pick a BUG from it and use it a little bit to make use of it.

"...It was only during the period of military control in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that the Legislative Council was ordered to suspend its session. The central government did not disband this organization."

Director Ma, the foreign inspector who sent the documents, replied slowly while sipping tea, "... won't the meeting resume after the end of military control?"

"...but...when the military control ends, the 'door' to the other world will be closed, right? What's the point of making such a fuss?"

Wang Meiling was even more confused when she heard that, "...the new chief executive of Hong Kong during the military control period...is his name Zhang Jingzhi? From now on, I will be in charge of him?"

"...No, no, no, this thing is just a vase. What about the situation in the other world? What happened in the past and what will happen in the future."

"... Huh? You mean, you gave me a fake document just now?" Wang Meiling laughed angrily, "...Even if you are the famous humanoid Xiangrui, the supreme leader of China's super power front, there is no Such a foolish reasoning! Give me an explanation! Immediately!"

Facing the rant of the female mayor, Director Ma felt a little overwhelmed by the auspicious human-shaped person who went wherever he went. After hesitating for a while, he had no choice but to tell the truth, "...the so-called Arnus City Incorporated into the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region... In fact, it is a purely empty title, which is convenient for the implementation of the capitalist legal system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. You also know that the more than 3 demi-human refugees who have undergone purification outside the city wall are now able to Out of the slaughter... no, out of the quarantine camp, assigned to work.

Especially those wandering sub-human prostitutes in the black streets of the imperial capital. Our mother Sang has also completed the initial training and screened out unqualified candidates. Next, it is time to find entertainment companies and nightclubs to sign contracts... According to the reservation The plan is to let them pick up jobs here first, familiarize themselves with the service process of the earth, and gradually transfer their business to Hong Kong in the future, so that the animal ear girl custom industry will become a landmark landscape in Hong Kong in the future.For this reason, we need to hire some senior **** from Hong Kong nightclubs to show the indigenous girls from other worlds..."

"...Well, everything is coming as planned? What's the matter?" Wang Meiling blinked.

"...The problem is, in order to attract investment, we have to let out a little bit of wind in advance. As a result, some people are eyeing it!"

Director Ma spread his hands helplessly, "...Then there are all kinds of well-known big V's one-sided criticism, saying that engaging in custom business in this way will lead to the corruption of social morality, violate the principle of sexuality, etc., and almost call for the construction of people's communes in other worlds Yes, it puts a lot of pressure on the relevant departments!"

"... um, um... what era is it now? There are such traditional and conservative guys?" Wang Meiling was taken aback.

"...Traditional? Conservative? Hehe, they just took money to sing the opposite tune, and they really opposed it for the sake of opposition!"

Speaking of this, Director Ma couldn't help but sigh, "...Among this group of people, there may be a few honest gentlemen who are truly noble and unconcerned, but most of them are from the late Ming dynasty. Like the gentlemen of the Donglin Party, they are full of party principles and moral articles. In private, they all collect money for work, cheat money and sex, and steal women and prostitutes. They just want to fool the common people. Go to become ascetic monks, and then they spend their days and drinks in red-light districts and private clubs, just like those rich people in Saudi Arabia... After that, I am afraid that overseas media will also come to intervene. Although Europe, America, Japan and South Korea The number of street girls per million people there is more than ten times that of our country, and there are also unemployed women who are forced to sell themselves by the state, but who made them play with double standards all the time? "

"...In this way, we must not be fooled by them." Wang Meiling sighed and said, "...Really, if we have to pursue moral perfection in everything, our days are already beyond our reach. Saint Undead, there are more than a few thieves..."

As early as the seventeenth century, Prime Minister Richelieu of France had a famous saying: "Things that are absolutely correct morally may not necessarily be correct politically." Once moral standards replaced realistic considerations and became the benchmark for politicians to make decisions, Then it means that the political decision-making mechanism is completely rigid, and the ruling class will lose the ability to adjust to changes in reality, and can only ignore practical problems and talk about morality.But the actual problem will not disappear on its own because of your high morality, it will only become more and more serious because you don't deal with it, and finally it will completely deteriorate to the point where it is completely out of control.

In the 80s of the last century, when the reform and opening up was carried out, a large number of old revolutionaries expressed that they could not accept it. They believed that the reform and opening up was a surrender and betrayal. Even the ruling foundation was shaken, and the gains outweighed the losses. Seeing those reactionary capitalists who were finally expelled overseas by themselves, they turned into "patriotic overseas Chinese" and made a comeback, and were served by the local government as if they were ancestors. The psychological shadow area of ​​the fighting revolutionary predecessors at this time...

Well, in fact, the worries and accusations of many opposition parties at the beginning of the reform and opening up were proved to be unfounded in the later historical process.However, there is no way, no matter how severe the side effects of the reform and opening up are, and no matter how much the psychological shadow of the old seniors increases, under the current situation, we must continue to do it unswervingly, otherwise the consequences will only be more serious... So Only then will today's world factory be born.

However, it is too easy to criticize others from a moral standpoint, so more and more people like to engage in moral kidnapping.As a result, a very schizophrenic phenomenon has gradually appeared in the intellectual circles in China and many countries around the world, that is, to moralize all issues, to demand the people and the government according to the standards of saints, and then to belittle everything. Useless, in order to win the inner superiority.

Moreover, the more wicked the guy is, the more he likes to emphasize morality. He is obviously an old rascal with black fungus, but he still pretends to be an angel, and what is even more wicked is to force others to admit that he is an angel-so the moral trend No improvement, but the level of lying is increasing day by day.The most frightening thing is that in the end, instead of fooling others, you make yourself foolish, or pretend that you have really fooled others. You can force others to sacrifice under the banner of morality, but in fact, everyone is not stupid at all. It's just that the credibility of some organizations has been wiped out.

Are there still socialist principles... Seriously, how many of the various principles of the past can still be observed today?The big capitalists have already returned. The big directors and big stars are all European and American. All kinds of things that used to make the old-timers vomit blood are now taken for granted.When the country started the stock market back then, many people could not accept it and felt that the sky was about to collapse, but now who dares to block the stock exchange?At that time, animation and games were regarded as scourges and spiritual poisons of capitalism, but later they had to face the dilemma that the animation and game markets almost completely collapsed.To be honest, there are some things in this world that don't look good, and they can't be blocked by blocking them alone. The result of promulgating a lot of bans and failing to seal the country is to hand over the dominance of the market to others.Macau is much smaller than Hong Kong. Why couldn’t the country destroy all the casinos in Macau and send the unemployed Macau people into sweatshops?Because after the country gets rich slowly, there will always be people who want to play gambling money. Instead of letting them go abroad or give money to foreigners on a gambling boat, it is better to leave a hole for them to gamble in Macau. Rotten in their own pot.

Of course, later Macau was also diversifying from the gaming industry in an attempt to build a comprehensive tourist city, but this was not out of moral and cleanliness considerations, but because if a city’s pillar industry is too single, it will cause a lot of trouble. It is like Yumen City, which relies entirely on oil for food, and after the oil fields are exhausted, all industries have withered and turned into a ghost town.Under normal circumstances, no matter how much it transforms, Macau will not ban the gambling industry itself—unless the country decides to impose a ban on gambling in Macau by brute force regardless of the Basic Law or the social stability of Macau.

In the same way, no matter how much morality is advocated, today's society is already laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes, and the fact that there are romantic men and women everywhere on the university campus cannot be changed.Delusion to bring the social atmosphere of the entire country back to the early days of the founding of the country is divorced from reality and dogmatism, which has nothing to do with the strength of the country.It is certainly wrong to legalize the customs industry in the whole country, and it violates the spirit of socialism, so pornography must be suppressed in the mainland.But on the other hand, it is also very reasonable to leave a small hole to try.Right now, there is a ready-made capitalist experimental field in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and of course it can be used. It seems that the real political incorrectness is to enforce socialist values ​​in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

What does special zone mean?Just throw away some things that are difficult to do in the mainland and risky, and try to see what the consequences are!At the beginning of the reform and opening up, the division of special economic zones really thought it must be a good thing?In fact, it is an experimental field. Who would dare to guarantee what it will be like in the end?Of course, there will definitely be successes and failures in the experiment. Once serious problems occur, you must quickly turn around and retreat, and you can't slap your face and pretend to be fat to whitewash the peace.But if you don't even dare to experiment, if you cling to dogma and don't let go, if you don't have the spirit of flexibility, then the country is definitely doomed.

What's more, after losing all of its financial, trade and port advantages due to a series of deaths and bad luck, what advantages does the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have over the mainland?In terms of university enrollment and education levels, Hong Kong today is not as good as the coastal areas of the mainland.After much calculation, it seems that there is only one legal institutional advantage left in the custom industry. It is really a natural choice to rely on this to revitalize the economy in desperation-if you don’t let Hong Kong continue to legally engage in the custom industry, China Ordinary people will go to Thailand and Japan to play, or set up various underground clubs, and the result will be even more chaotic.

Of course, in order to avoid dirty hands, the state-run custom industry is naturally not allowed to engage in such unscrupulous things, but as long as the animal ear girl is given a green card and then obtained in Hong Kong, and then a little bit of wind in private, and then the Hong Kong SAR government is instructed to issue An ambiguous policy, where is the need for official intervention in the future?Immediately, countless nightclub owners, managers of travel companies and scouts from the entertainment industry flocked to bid, and they could come up with any proposal: In which country in the world is the custom industry dependent on the state?Even the Thai government won't care about how to eunuch a man and concoct a transvestite!
When Las Vegas, the American gambling city, was first established, Nevada just lost its morals and promulgated a legal provision to open the gambling prohibition, but it did not personally set up any state-run casino-as long as the legal opening is opened, later All things have become a matter of course.

Moreover, Hong Kong's custom industry has always been legal, but it does not have its own "characteristic brand", and it is difficult to become stronger and bigger like Thailand's Pattaya - isn't the characteristic brand coming now?Hong Kong's custom industry and entertainment industry can become bigger and stronger with the special brand of Beast Ear Girl. Restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, film and television, tourism, etc. will be fully activated, Hong Kong people will have jobs, and the society will be stable. up.

Of course, there must be sequelae, and they are very serious.But the problem is, Hong Kong's economy is already completely stagnant, who can control so much?Just like Japan, a densely populated island country with frequent earthquakes, nuclear power must mean high risks, and once an accident occurs, it will be unimaginable.But even so, facing the dilemma of lacking local resources and relying entirely on imported energy, what else could the Japanese government do if it did not engage in nuclear power?
"...So, in the face of moral kidnapping, the best countermeasure is to be shameless. Didn't you call us Chinese imperialism? Then really show the style of imperialism! Even the most basic things like slave trade massacre and gunboat diplomacy Nothing has been done, what kind of imperialism is it?"

Director Ma said this to Wang Meiling, and Wang Meiling couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when she nodded in agreement—even if it was something more terrifying than slave trading and massacre, her son seemed to have done a lot in different worlds , It is really too imperialist to be more imperialist.

No, no, it should be said that even using the word imperialism is not enough to describe the terrible destructive power of some professional traversers...

"...At that time, we had a showdown with the head. Judging from the current situation, if we insist on being subject to moral kidnapping, sticking to a false name, preventing Hong Kong from becoming Thailand's Pattaya, and relying on the custom industry to revive the economy. Then After the gate of time and space disappears and the military control ends, there is a [-]% chance that Hong Kong will become a crime capital like Detroit. The citizens will be young and dangerous, fighting and playing gun battles all day long. As for the smuggling and trafficking of drugs and organs And the population is probably an indispensable thing... and the central government still understands the truth, thinking that turning Hong Kong into Pattaya is at least a little better than turning Hong Kong into Detroit, so it finally withstood the pressure, but still remained. Got a little tail that needs to be addressed."

Director Ma sighed and continued to explain, "...that is the legal status of Arnus City - if Arnus City is directly under the central government, there will be an old man named 'Zi' or 'She' Problem. If it is included in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, then the capitalist system can be justifiably implemented, and human resources from other worlds can be legally used to develop tertiary industries including the custom industry to increase income..."

"...Well, I basically understand. Anyway, it's just a matter of changing the brand. You can toss about it as you like! As long as..."

Wang Meiling nodded, but before she could finish speaking, the automatic business system in her office computer suddenly sounded a prompt:

"...Wait a minute, let me see, uh... It's an email from Comrade Li Wei from Ita Rica, saying that an envoy came to him under the banner of Emperor Sausal, and returned We've sent a letter of capitulation...do you want him to send a photocopy right away?"
