Wang Defa! What the hell have you changed?!
Calm down. Objectively speaking, many outdated production capacities do need to be eliminated. The main reason why the mass layoffs caused so many problems was that there were too many corrupt officials who embezzled various subsidies that could have eased the conflict, leaving many workers with no way out and causing serious social problems. If those subsidies had been in place and the workers had been given some buffer time after being laid off, the situation wouldn't have required such a severe crackdown.
This is a typical case where after turning the steering wheel all the way to the right, you have to turn it all the way to the left to balance it out, otherwise there will be even bigger problems. Don't forget, the people of this land were capable of launching peasant uprisings that changed dynasties. Don't underestimate Huang Chao; the entire Guanzhong aristocracy is watching from the underworld.
Now the country can allocate more money and guarantee that the money will be in place, while also creating new jobs for workers. Social conflicts in Northeast China have been rapidly alleviated. Judging from the current situation, the next few years will be an opportunity for the rapid development of Northeast China, because Qin Shan's next plan is to take back Mongolia. Meanwhile, the players of the new Soviet Union on Earth are eager to stand up and rebuild the Soviet Union at this time. In their eyes, Russia is absolutely unacceptable and has no right to inherit everything from the Soviet Union. It can only be considered a half-crippled piece of historical garbage (the compradors around Yeltsin are indeed things from the historical garbage dump).
The method is very simple: have players go inside Russia disguised as NATO spies to sabotage, and in the US and Europe, disguise themselves as KGB spies. After all, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the whole of Eastern Europe, including Russia, was in chaos, so it's not surprising that all sorts of people would appear. Don't forget, the smuggling of arms after the collapse of the Soviet Union supported a lot of gangs, and it's normal for gangs to suddenly emerge, isn't it? It's because your country's grassroots management is out of control.
"The West is really enjoying sucking the Soviet legacy. We must stop their progress. Even if it means destroying it, we can't let them continue to profit."
In any case, all the players need to do is follow Qin Shan's plan to harm people, but Qin Shan has to consider many things.
Following the current pattern, it won't be long before the whole world becomes incredibly exciting, perhaps even excessively so.
Given the players' frenzy and the fact that GTA can be played outside of China and the Soviet Union, it's almost as if 9/11 happened earlier than expected.
The scale will increase by dozens or even hundreds of times.
It's really something to look forward to.
Section 8: How dare you speak to your father like that!
In Washington, D.C., President Clinton is furious (he was elected in 1992 and served in office in 1994).
"I don't want to hear your explanations. What I really want to know is, where did that seventeen-carrier strike group come from?"
At first, the emergence of seventeen aircraft carriers in the Bohai Bay was an international joke, but soon, a report from the US military stationed in Japan made the US military uneasy.
The telegram conveyed only one message: It's not a joke, there really is a fleet, and they're charging towards Japan at 40 knots!!!
Please note that this is not the speed of a single warship, but the speed of the entire carrier strike group. A strike group and a single ship are two different concepts.
The latter indicates that the warship's performance is excellent, but the former is a terrifying strategic deterrent, second only to nuclear weapons.
The good news is that the massive warship fleet, originally consisting of seventeen 300,000-ton aircraft carriers, has now been divided into seventeen separate carrier groups. The good news is that even so, they still can't beat them!
What does a 300,000-ton aircraft carrier mean? Can you guess why the largest aircraft carriers we have now are only the Ford-class standard? Is it because they don't want to build bigger ones?
Rather, it's because the material stress doesn't allow it. A behemoth weighing 300,000 tons, and entirely constructed by hand, this is definitely alien technology, something the United States could never produce.
As for how many carrier-based aircraft these aircraft carriers carry, that is unknown.
Yes, after these carrier-based aircraft take off, no matter how close they are to the American warships, their radars will be completely blank, while there are at least a thousand aircraft within visual range.
For Japan, this reminds them of the Tokyo frenzy of World War II, but even during World War II, the amount of aircraft the US military dropped on a single city at once wasn't this terrifying. What is Xinhua trying to do? Are they preparing to settle scores with Japan?
No one knows for sure, but the fleet is moving toward Nagasaki at a speed of 40 knots, seemingly preparing to force its way through the Osumi Strait. It's possible they might head north to Tokyo Bay.
Faced with such a massive aircraft carrier strike group, the US-Japan island chain has become virtually useless. Do you think the US president would be anxious at this moment?
But CIA Director James Woolsey could only say, "We are investigating, Your Excellency."
"This isn't a problem that can be solved simply by reassuring me. It's unbelievable how Xinhua has suddenly become like this..."
Mei Lianzong suddenly didn't know how to describe the current situation. It was like a game boss suddenly hearing a "ding" sound from the other side, and then suddenly becoming Loki in the Hulk's hands—a comical situation.
This severely disrupted America's rhythm.
It's important to understand that the Cold War had only just ended, and NATO's plunder of the Soviet Union was still ongoing. Many plans still needed time to be finalized. They had originally intended to treat Xinhua as a new hypothetical enemy, but now that hypothetical enemy had suddenly revealed his muscular physique, wielding an 80-pound Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and was ready to challenge the American strongman, the Americans were left with nothing but shock and confusion.
They finally outlasted the Soviet Union, and now an even more incredible one has emerged. This must be a complete disaster!
However, the US president was still happy despite his predicament, because while he was at home, Japan, on the front lines, was completely bewildered. He simply couldn't understand how the weak Xinhua Navy had suddenly become so powerful.
It's one thing to rise up, but now there are over three thousand planes in the sky! Was our old father really this vigorous, or was he just pretending all along? Now that the Soviet Union has laid its cards on the table, it's no longer pretending and is going to start tearing into NATO.
If you're so amazing, why didn't you say so sooner?
At this point, the entire Japanese Self-Defense Forces were in a state of frantic panic. All the aircraft that could take off were launched, and the radars were running at full capacity. But just as the US Navy's radars only saw a blank page, Japan's radars also showed nothing.
This is an incredibly advanced anti-radar stealth material. It doesn't reflect or absorb radar waves; instead, it allows radar waves to pass through harmlessly and then return along the same path. In other words, all existing technologies on Earth, except for optical observation, are useless against it.
There are too many material problems to solve for optical stealth. Right now, as long as radar is rendered useless, the effect would be as incredible as the Minovsky example of walking. Speaking of the Resistance Moon in World Three, there really is a similar technology. Once used, it would directly let the other side experience what it means to have all channels blocked.
Of course, our side is unaffected.
After an initial period of confusion, the US immediately launched a counterattack in multiple areas.
First came the protests, then the UN protests, and then the protests led by NATO allies.
Taking action is impossible. Even during Xinhua's weakest years, the United States didn't dare to do anything to Xinhua's homeland. At most, they would seize a ship at sea. For other countries, this is nothing. Anyway, we are used to being bullied by the United States. But we are a civilization that stood at the top of the world for more than two thousand years. We absolutely cannot tolerate this. I'll write this down and repay you ten thousand times over in the future!
Unfortunately, the Galaxy Incident hasn't happened in this parallel world yet, but under the current circumstances, it's unlikely to happen.
Xinhua's ambassador to the United Nations was completely bewildered, especially when the US representative to the UN calmly voiced his protest. He was even more confused after learning that his country had seventeen aircraft carriers, and had no idea what the other side was talking about.
That's strange. The translator is working fine, so what language is this? Why does it sound so much like Chinese?
Just as the ambassador's comprehension was being challenged, a new group of representatives from Xinhua arrived.
"Mr. Li, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to us."
"Okay, you've all worked hard too."
Ambassador Li nodded and quickly completed the handover. Although he was confused, he knew that since the motherland had sent someone over, they must be here to solve the problem, so he decided to listen in first.
This person who's coming to take over looks so young, is he even three years old?
"K-bro" is the player's nickname; his real name is now Li Ba.
It's a name that sounds incredibly powerful, and his job here is very simple: to promote national prestige and ensure that a strong Xinhua has the right to speak independently in the United Nations. In the future, whether in Asia or the world, anything that Xinhua doesn't agree to is just nonsense.
Although Xinhua has suddenly changed its representative, you should mind your own business when it comes to the affairs of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
But let's not forget that the United Nations is a place for arguments, so the Japanese representative quickly jumped out.
"What is the story behind Xinhua News Agency's alleged intrusion by sending an aircraft carrier battle group into our country?"
The statement was entirely accusatory, with an extremely strong tone. At that time, Japan was still the world's second-largest economy and the leader of Asia. Even though they were America's lackeys, they felt that they were more noble than others and even more qualified to be one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. In any case, Xinhua was far inferior to them.
Ambassador Li Ba merely smiled dismissively, then retorted bluntly, "According to the Potsdam Declaration, our country is qualified to station troops in Japan. This time, we are dispatching the People's Liberation Army to Japan. Is there a problem with that?"
Upon hearing this, the entire United Nations General Assembly hall fell silent.
The American representative was completely dumbfounded. His brain simply couldn't process such complex logic. It wasn't that the United States had degenerated to the state of the 2020s, but rather that they couldn't understand why Xinhua, which had previously been hovering around abstaining from voting, had suddenly stood up today.
To put it simply, Li Ba's current statements are full of fighting spirit and deterrence; they're the kind of direct punches that the US and European countries can understand.
These countries have too short a history; they can't understand overly subtle expressions of friendship, so we have to hit them squarely.
After a long pause, Japan's representative to the United Nations, Hirohiko Koku, stood up and protested: "This is an act of aggression against Japan! This is bullying of a small country by a large one!"
"Oh, I see. So you Japanese don't recognize the Potsdam Declaration, is that what you mean?"
"Don't change the subject. This is aggression, blatant aggression!"
"Ambassador G.I.L.D., would you like me to read the Potsdam Declaration to you again?"
"That's the power of the Nationalist government; it has nothing to do with you!"
"Really? Then I'll show you something."
Ambassador Li Ba stood up, then with a flick of his wrist, as if by magic, a user-friendly screen suddenly appeared in front of him. This immediately attracted everyone's attention. As Li Ba's finger fell, a huge projection screen appeared in the United Nations Hall.
This display of technical skill alone silenced the entire audience.
What kind of tile is this? I don't understand it at all!
But it doesn't matter, at least they can understand what's on the screen, because it's none other than Lee Teng-hui. But he's not as high-spirited as he appears in the news; instead, he looks utterly dejected because he's been arrested, and it was the People's Liberation Army that arrested him.
"Sorry, the puppet government's rule in the area has been completely ended. The former Taiwan Province has returned to the motherland. PLA soldiers are carrying out the final cleanup work. By the way, there's an aircraft carrier group loitering nearby. Feel free to come looking for trouble at this time if you're a fool. Let me make it clear beforehand: from now on, all ships and aircraft approaching within 100 nautical miles of Taiwan Province will be warned twice, and the third time, they will be destroyed!"
Xinhua's statement was like a bombshell, shattering the original Cold War order of the United Nations, and completely destroying the plans of the United States, the ulterior motives of Japan, and even Europe's view of Xinhua.
Nothing speaks louder than seventeen carrier strike groups. Even at its peak, the US didn't have that many carriers. Even if you pulled everything from the warship graveyard, none could compare to a 300,000-ton supercarrier. Has Xinhua suddenly taken some kind of super-potent drug, becoming so energetic?
For the US and Japan, the most critical thing has already happened: the first island chain no longer exists, and the PLA's blade is now held to the necks of all US and Japanese forces in the Pacific.
I can't accept this, I can't accept this! How could it suddenly turn out like this? It's fake, it's all fake! Impossible, absolutely impossible! Our great US-Japan alliance is invincible!
Japan's UN representative, Michihiko Koku, was immediately outraged and shouted, "This is just a smokescreen from Xinhua! It's a deception! This is all a deception! These things could never have happened! Xinhua, stop doing such undignified things!"
In response, Ambassador Li Ba simply retorted, "Ambassador, do you know that right now, Xinhua has a full three thousand aircraft circling over Japan, and three of our supercarriers are moving around the area. They're all carrying little gifts, gifts powerful enough to destroy a nation, so..."
Kunihiro Michihiko was already somewhat dazed, only muttering, "Fake, it's all fake, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Li Ba laughed, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table and roared like a crimson dragon: "You son of a bitch, where did you get the nerve to talk to your father like that!"
Section 9: Sweeping Through the United Nations
The words Li Ba shouted caused even the translation system to briefly freeze, unsure how to translate them.
Actually, there's no need for a translation. The Japanese over there understand Chinese, especially in this situation where a knife is at their throat. They understand it perfectly and wish they could instantly become Japanese know-it-alls.
At this moment, Michihiko Kunihiro was drenched in sweat. Even though the air conditioning in the United Nations was always at its most comfortable setting, he was still unable to control the physiological reactions caused by fear.
Since sunset, Xinhua hasn't been this assertive in years. Could it be that the old man is actually a tough guy in disguise?
It's not impossible. During this period, intelligence systems of various countries around the world have been losing contact with Xinhua one after another, and there were no warning signs before they disappeared. They just vanished suddenly from the spot, followed by a large-scale evaporation. No one knows what happened. They just disappeared without a trace.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly calm world over the past year; that's just on the surface. The more peaceful the times, the more active the intelligence systems of various countries become. Naturally, the changes in Xinhua have been noticed by their intelligence systems. However, the intelligence they obtain is mostly newsworthy enough to make it onto the evening news. As for truly valuable internal intelligence, sorry, there isn't any.
Xinhua became an intelligence black box in just one year, which was hard for the entire NATO to understand. However, they no longer needed to dwell on it, because something even more incomprehensible was right in front of them.
With its seventeen of the world's most advanced aircraft carrier battle groups, Xinhua is directly declaring to the world, "We're not to be trifled with." And it did so in such a dramatic and explosive manner that the US and Japan were completely caught off guard.
The Xinhua in the domestic world has gradually grown stronger, but the Xinhua here has become like this overnight. How can the US and Japan be psychologically prepared? Unless you tell them in the simplest and most straightforward language that the current Xinhua can completely rely on its strength and status to shut up any country.
The Federation's general meeting was completely silent, but at that moment, silence spoke louder than words.
Michihiko Kunihiro sat back down in his seat, his face ashen and pale. From now on, Japan was no longer qualified to express any views or opinions on Xinhua. Only the United States could have equal exchanges with Xinhua.
Soon after, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Madeleine (a female representative), spoke on behalf of the United States.
"Xinhua representative, please watch your wording. The US and Japan have a security treaty, and you cannot withstand the wrath of the United States!"
As the victor of the Cold War, the United States could certainly make such arrogant statements. Unfortunately, the arrogance of the US government was soon met with a slap in the face from reality.
Li Ba smiled slightly: "Is that so? Then the US government should have received our gift by now."
What was the gift? Three thousand Dongfeng ballistic missiles that suddenly fell into the Atlantic Ocean without any warning.
Radar failed to detect it, and the United States' prized early warning system did not react. Three thousand intercontinental ballistic missiles simply rained down from the sky, and no one knew what had happened. This was a truly terrifying story for the United States.
Li Ba operated the projection interface and timely broadcast the event live, so now the whole world knows about it.
The US government was certainly aware of it, after all, the explosion was quite significant. Although those were not nuclear weapons, the explosive power of the special energy warheads was equivalent to a thousand tons of TNT, enough to instantly petrify the US government.
Who am I? Where am I? Which timeline is this? Why is Xinhua so awesome!
Ambassador Li Ba calmly swept across the UN General Assembly hall, and no one dared to meet his gaze.
The former Xinhua ambassador to the United Nations was utterly shocked. Wasn't the policy of "keeping a low profile" supposed to be upheld? How come they've suddenly started acting like the rising sun in the East?
Even if national policy shifts, it shouldn't be heading in a direction that leads to people being run over and killed. That's too sudden and completely different from the country's previous style... Wait, when has our rabbit ever been cowardly!
Thinking of this, the former ambassador straightened his back instantly. Although the new successor seemed arrogant, he had to admit that it felt great, great in every sense of the word. He just wondered if some people in China would be surprised by the friendly nations.
The former ambassador is definitely overthinking this. After so many years of turmoil, Qin Shan has already developed a set of effective strategies for national confrontation. As long as it is a parallel world within China, first kill the foreign-worshipping dogs in China, then open up channels for foreigners to enter China, and dump all the trash in the US and Europe according to the principle of "influence as much as possible". As long as these people are not in China, their value to the US and Europe is almost zero. Do you really think you can kill your opponent just by cursing them? You're dreaming.
Those organizations that receive funding and assistance from foreign GO organizations should be eliminated without hesitation. Obtaining evidence is even easier; Qin Shan has plenty of evidence, as much as he could possibly need.
As for the reactions of the US and European countries after these organizations are dealt with, I don't care what their reactions are. Look at my thick and long East Wind, do you want to feel the feeling of being blown by it? Rest assured, there will be no bad reviews.
Just then, a U.S. representative strode into the UN General Assembly hall and whispered a few words to U.S. Ambassador to the UN Madeleine.
Madeline's expression changed a lot of colors in a very short time, which was quite a sight, but it eventually turned pale, showing that she was under a lot of pressure.
At this point, Ambassador Li Ba spoke up: "Then, the next issue is the stationing of Xinhua troops in Japan. The Potsdam Declaration granted us this power. As a defeated fascist nation, Japan has committed heinous crimes against humanity and should be subject to the supervision of the forces of justice. I have finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
The room fell silent; no one dared to raise their neck and say, "I object."
Although Ambassador Li Ba is unlikely to slap someone across the face on the spot, judging from his performance just now, he can certainly make your country feel uncomfortable. Look at those seventeen supercarriers; they are an indispensable force for maintaining world peace.
"Xinhua's request is legitimate, and according to the Potsdam Declaration, Xinhua does have that right."
These words sounded perfectly reasonable, but they came from the mouth of the American representative, Madeleine. Kunihiro Michihiko, standing beside her, stared in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
Father, what are you saying? What are you saying?!
Michihiko Kunihiro's mentality collapsed at that moment. Even if you want to sell, don't sell so quickly. At least put up a fight so that I can give an explanation to the domestic audience. You wilted at the slightest threat from Xinhua. What am I supposed to do as your son?
This scene was captured by a nearby camera. Because Kunihiro Michihiko's expression was so comical, the photo quickly went viral and was named "Kunihiro Michihiko's Grief and Indignation," which was simplified by Chinese people to "My Grief and Indignation."
