Guide to Galactic Dominance

"No, we absolutely cannot compromise with the people of Country C!" King Sichuan banged the table angrily again, showing no manners at all and looking like a rude and impolite man.

Chuanyi glanced at his father with a very unhappy look. King Chuanyi, who was afraid of his daughter, restrained himself slightly.

Vice President Carmarson said: "Now is not the time to be impulsive, Mr. President, we are in a comprehensive disadvantageous situation. Even without the help of the Iridium people, our military experts had calculated a year ago that in the Western Pacific and C If China goes to war, we have a 60% chance of winning, but it will require more than 70% of the entire US military's military strength, cost trillions of military expenditures, and face the risk of directly bringing down our already shaky economy.

This is a meaningless war. If we win, we can only maintain our position in the Asia-Pacific, but the actual benefits are almost lost. After all, we cannot attack the mainland, with a population of more than one billion and industrial strength. Country C, which is stronger than us, is fighting a land war; the same is true for the people of Country C. A tragic victory will drive us out of the Asia-Pacific, but without the shackles around our necks, there will not be many benefits and the effort will be too much. serious.

But now, Country C has a military force that exceeds that of all countries on Earth. The Stennis was occupied by Country C's army without any decent resistance. They possess a variety of weapons and equipment that far exceed those of the US military, and have more than two million soldiers. Once they are really involved in the war in the Asia-Pacific, they will not even lose much. "

King Sichuan couldn't accept this at all. He shouted: "Don't we have any chance of winning?"

The others were silent, but Carmarson said frankly: "No, not at all. I'm afraid God won't be able to help us even if he comes."

Carmarthen is a devout Christian, and saying such things shows how serious he thinks the situation has become.

Chuanyi did not want King Chuan to come to Taiwan. At this time, he suggested very presumptuously: "We should not give up our last diplomatic efforts. Maybe there is still some hope."

King Sichuan seemed to be grasping a straw and nodded fiercely: "Yes, let the Secretary of State fly to Country C. If we can negotiate, we can make some necessary exchanges of interests."

The president is originally a businessman, and in his view, nothing is non-exchangeable. However, he also realizes a problem, that is, he does not have many cards in his hand that can satisfy the C country and the Iridium people.

--Dividing line--

Lu Fouts, a news commentator for the German newspaper Die Welt, hurriedly opened the door of his office, holding an ultra-thin laptop under his arm. His face was full of nervousness and excitement. He pushed away the computer screen and started typing frantically on it.

His editor-in-chief Heilner rushed in without even knocking on the door. Seeing Rufts at work, he said, "Are you writing the story about the destruction of the Lighthouse State's aircraft carrier fleet?"

Rufts only looked up at him and continued typing with his hands, saying: "Yes, this is a big news. The mobile media has already reported it immediately. Although our timeliness is a little behind. , but we can write down the major impacts in more detail.”

Heilner sat down at his desk and said with concern: "What do you think? Will World War III break out?"

Luftz smiled sarcastically: "How is that possible? Which country is so full now that it would fight against Country C with Lighthouse Country? An American aircraft carrier battle group was occupied by Country C without even saying hello. With the support of the Iridium people, Country C will only be able to defeat any country on Earth."

Heilner said: "News just came from Berlin. Our Prime Minister expressed shock at this incident, condemned Country C's military behavior, and called on both sides to exercise restraint and calm and stop military conflicts."

Luftz's sarcastic voice became louder: "Why, does this prime minister really feel that he is loved and supported by the Germans and that everything he says is right? At this time, political correctness no longer applies to the turbulent and changing international politics. If the environment changes, the people of country C will not care about the opinions of other countries, and no country has the ability to contain country C."

Heilner asked: "Isn't it even possible for Iridium?"

Luftz stopped typing and said: "To be honest, Star Alliance is actually a real country now. It is still in such a strange situation of a two-headed snake because it is still in the period of merger and transition. The military of country C It is absolutely impossible to act without the approval of the Iridium people behind it. The Iridium head of state was born in China, and I have learned that his political spectrum is on the left side and he has nationalist tendencies. At that time, I It was predicted that conflicts and wars were coming, but unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the people of country C actually took action."

Heilner still had great trust in the writers who had unique and profound insights. He sighed: "Is the Western world really going to never recover from this?"

Rufts said: "It still needs to be observed. The Star Alliance still looks like it is committed to cooperating with the countries on the earth. It is probably not an accident to rule this planet. As for the difference from the previous position of the Lighthouse State as the world's hegemon, I think it should be It will be relatively large, but whether it is good or bad is not yet certain.”

Heilner still felt a little like he was in a dream: "Are we going to listen to those Easterners in the future? Alas, the world is changing too fast, and we are already old."

Rufus smiled: "It's okay. Now the average life span of people in country C has increased. If Germany can join the Star Alliance in the future, I can at least fight for another few decades. Maybe I can go to other planets to write news. ."

Haierner said enviously: "I wish I had such a big heart as you."

He paused and then said: "So, the tone of your article is still to have a pessimistic attitude towards the Lighthouse Nation and to look forward to a future situation where the Star Alliance completely leads the world?"

Luftz turned over his computer screen and showed it to Heilner, and said: "These are some reports given by the mainstream media in the Western world. Needless to say, the lighthouse country is one-sidedly criticizing Country C. Other countries also protested and condemned it. The majority of them are. The Western world is bound by its own world of values ​​and has very serious prejudices against Country C. In just half a day, the direction of public opinion has shifted to defending the universal values ​​of the free world. Various matters related to Country C The dark history of human rights is also brought out to explain things, as if if the Star Alliance really rules, we will fall into the endless darkness of the Middle Ages."

Haierner asked doubtfully: "Do you think there is someone behind this?"

Luftz said: "We can't be sure, but we don't rule out the possibility. However, talking about ideology has always been what these media are best at."
