Dominate South Asia

On the TV screen, CNN news was playing.

President Bush visited Arlington National Cemetery and delivered a speech at the cemetery.

"In order to maintain world peace and fulfill relevant United Nations resolutions, our soldiers fought bravely to defend our friend Kuwait's territorial sovereignty. We believe that justice will prevail!" Bush said with a smile on his face. It’s serious: “At the same time, we will also make the conspirators behind it pay the price!”

Watching Bush Sr.'s war threats on TV, John Sr. in front of the TV slammed the TV.

During the election, why did you choose Bush as president? Clinton said it very well at the time, idiot, the problem is the economy! This Bush knows nothing but war!

The U.S. economy has been declining in recent years.

After the war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union has become obviously weak. Europe has no worries and is increasingly unwilling to act as a cash machine for the United States. Their desire to be independent continues to grow.

A large number of manufacturing industries in the United States have either gone bankrupt or downsized, or simply transferred production to third world countries such as China and Pakistan.

The United States is becoming a country without manufacturing, relying on its developed financial industry and service industry to support the prosperity of the entire country. But how long can such prosperity last?

Think of France, which once relied on borrowing money to become the richest country in Europe.

But in the end, they became a second-rate power, and were almost defeated by the Germans in World War I. As for World War II, they were instantly killed at the beginning.

Could it be that the United States will become the second France in the future?

Many pessimists wrote articles in newspapers, saying that although the Cold War would end with a complete victory for the United States. But the final beneficiary is not the United States. The United States had already begun to decline before it prospered. The dusk of the empire was hanging on the horizon, indicating the prospect of this country's decline.

The U.S. economy has reached a critical point.

In order to maintain its dominance, the United States must control the lifeblood of the world economy. Oil is the key!

Even after the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, Middle Eastern countries increasingly resented the U.S. military presence in the Gulf. But the United States still insists on staying there, just because of this. And, in order to comprehensively curb the development of other countries. The United States must take all possible measures, not hesitate to use force, to firmly control oil in its own hands.

In view of this, attacking Iraq is not only necessary, but also urgent.

As long as Iraq's oil is in the hands of the United States as soon as possible, the United States will control more than 60% of the world's oil reserves. Use the second as a bargaining chip. The United States can secretly incite oil companies to raise oil prices arbitrarily, causing global financial turmoil and reshuffling global wealth.

Of course, the backbone of the U.S. economy is also strong in finance.

Use financial leverage. America can still raise enough money to continue living in luxury.

Fortunately, the US dollar is the world currency and can be manipulated at will.

Significant depreciation. Transfer the economic crisis to the whole world.

If you want to be poor, let’s all be poor together!

When the economies of other countries are destroyed, a large number of companies go bankrupt, and they lose competitors, the United States will slowly tighten the dollar, let prices rise, and continue to use the price difference. Purchase raw materials from other countries in large quantities for national consumption.

The United States has become very proficient in this method and has tried it repeatedly.

And if you want to control these, you need war! Only through war can we control the oil resources in the Middle East, maintain the petrodollar system, and protect the economic foundation of the United States.

But now. Although the United States took control of Kuwait and stationed troops in Kuwait, it was not very glorious. They did not win the battle and suffered a defeat. It was the Iraqis who took the initiative to retreat!

Although the Americans claimed to have defeated the Iraqis, they relied on military pressure to make the Iraqis withdraw. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the United States fought as cowardly as the Vietnam War this time.

What ordinary Americans feel is the continued deterioration of the economy.

Although the use of force in the Gulf region has a UN resolution and the sponsorship of some Gulf tycoons, the United States still spends a large amount of money, especially the pensions for those killed in the war, which are astronomical figures. Bush is unwilling to fail. , did not withdraw the troops in the Gulf, and increasing the garrison was another new expense. After all, the previous expenses could be reimbursed by the Gulf tycoons, but now the Gulf countries do not pay for the expenses. What they want is for the United States to withdraw its troops. .

The huge expenditure will naturally affect all aspects of the United States. Needless to say, the crisis in the Gulf has caused a sharp rise in crude oil prices, which has brought the price of oil in the United States to several new levels.

Americans all like to drive large-displacement cars. As the leaders of the free world, they enjoy the benefits of low-priced crude oil. Now, the price of oil has suddenly become high, and at the same time, it has driven the surge in oil-related industries, petrochemicals, etc. Coupled with the serious overspending of the government's military expenditures, which has led to a significant reduction in social welfare and other aspects, all of this shows that the United States is about to enter an economic winter.

Some small companies have started to go bankrupt. Old John used to run a restaurant in Manhattan and hired two Chinese chefs. Under the name of Chinese specialties, many people came to eat. The income was OK. But now, the situation of full seats has long gone. Many times, there are only one or two people dining in the restaurant every day.

Now, watching Bush Sr. on TV making remarks that he will continue to fight in the Middle East, and it seems that he will not let go of the conspiracy behind it, as if he wants to fight with the Soviet Union and start the Third World War, Old John is uncomfortable.

Today, there is only one table with guests in the restaurant. You know, today is a legal holiday. At this time last year, the restaurant was full and there was a queue outside.

Alas.

Old John lowered his head and began to look at his computer.

Old John keeps up with the times. Just when computers became popular, he used computers to manage the restaurant. The computer can intuitively count the daily income, purchases, inventory, etc.

Now, his computer has been upgraded and installed with Microsoft's system. This system has a complete graphical interface, and you can even use a mouse to click.

Now, he opened the built-in minesweeper game and started clicking on it.

The previous DOS had a letter interface, but now it has a graphical interface and is equipped with many games, especially this minesweeper, which is a game that fully develops intelligence!

Old John's hand clicked the mouse, and this time he was lucky, and he clicked a large area at once.

The rest, he had to try a little bit! Old John temporarily forgot all the unpleasantness, while this restaurant still belonged to him, this computer still belonged to him, let's have more fun!

Suddenly, a snowflake appeared on the screen in front of him.

What happened? For a moment, Old John thought that he was staring at the spherical screen for too long, and he was dazzled, but when he rubbed his eyes hard, he found that it was not his eyes that had a problem, but the screen was dazzled!

What happened? Old John looked at the screen in front of him, which was refreshing frantically and quickly, far exceeding its tolerance. At the same time, he seemed to hear a hissing sound?

A burnt smell came out of the chassis. Oops, the computer burned!

At this time, Old John obviously didn't know that the virus that had long been in his computer had begun to attack!

Although his computer was not connected to the Internet and was mainly used for restaurant management, at most he played a single-player game, but a few days ago, Old John's son came back and copied back a few new games with a floppy disk, and the game brought back from the university computer room was already infected with the virus.

At 3:30 in the afternoon of that day, a few minutes after Bush Sr. finished his speech, the virus began to attack.

In later generations, ordinary computer viruses only destroyed software, and the damage caused to users was to re-install the system, and some numbers were stolen.

But now, when the virus has not yet shown its power, the protection against the virus is not in place, and the virus has too many opportunities to take advantage of!

A few years later, when the CIH virus broke out, people realized how vulnerable their computer systems were. The BIOS of the computer motherboards that were invaded by the virus was damaged and could only be used after being updated.

And now, this virus from Kevin's team is even more destructive.

With the ability of a genius computer hacker, and with the inspiration of Muhammad, Kevin's virus was simply earth-shattering when it broke out.

Today's monitors are still spherical CRT monitors, which only display some text in DOS mode. Later, in order to facilitate user operations, Microsoft, Apple and other manufacturers have released window systems with more friendly graphical interfaces.

If you want the graphics to keep changing, you have to refresh them. The most advanced 14-inch color monitors now have a bandwidth of only about 35-45MHz, and the corresponding highest resolution is 1024×768, and the refresh rate is only 60Hz. This virus will automatically modify the display parameters of the monitor, and the resolution reaches 1280×1024, and the refresh rate is as high as 85Hz. In this way, a monitor with at least 110MHZ bandwidth can be used.

The monitor cannot achieve such a high performance, and it is scanned by the virus. As a result, the internal circuit components are overloaded, the monitor quickly starts to overheat, and the deflection coil also sizzles. (To be continued ~^~)
