Doctor, I'm really strong!

Therefore, the correct choice is for the Ursus Empire to simultaneously import and replicate the weapons of the Commonwealth, ultimately building its own modern army and achieving a phoenix-like rebirth.

The idea is good, but it's very difficult.

Don't forget that the community's production model is standard modern industrial production, and the corresponding system must at least be a constitutional monarchy like that of Britain, assuming that both sides can understand each other's technological levels.

How can the Ursus Empire understand each other when they have two completely different industrial systems? Even the same gun with the same parts can lead to two completely different results depending on the processing method, let alone industrial systems.

As a result, the Ursus Empire found that trying to imitate it would be counterproductive, so it began to try to introduce the Community's industrial equipment. This brought with it the Community's productivity, and a matching management system was also needed. The Community's ideology followed suit, and workers are the easiest group to gather and manage. In such an organization, advanced ideas, especially those that are beneficial to them, spread very quickly.

If the Ursus Empire wants to "learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians," it will only be another example of the scourge. Under the capitalist system with feudalism as its mainstay, it will eventually be disrupted by the new system. Once the leaders can no longer control the situation, or the people below all rise up in rebellion, the Ursus Empire can declare its integration into the community.

What appears to be a simple weapon importation actually involves a great deal of complexities.

When you decide to reach out and touch something, what you hold in your hand is not just that thing, but also the microorganisms on it. If it is the bait of a trap, then you will also be caught in it.

A conspiracy?

No, no, no, this is a calculated scheme, a series of interconnected traps, one after another, and you can't find any fault with it because this equipment is designed for this software. If you insist on running software developed in 1970 on a computer in 2020, who can you blame for the incomplete functionality and low efficiency?

Even if Nikolai could keep things in check, he would still have to worry about the consequences of his death and the collapse of his regime, and more importantly, whether the West would enter the pass once the community had developed to a certain extent.

Anyone with a brain knows this is nothing more than a suspended death sentence.

Section 266: Some are happy, some are sad

(I've been quite busy lately, but I'll still try my best to keep updating, just less frequently...hehe~)

What do you think is the happiest thing in the world?

For Liu Jiuli, watching the lively crowds outside during festivals is the happiest time of his life.

No war, no famine, no plague, full of hope—this was a scene he was familiar with.

"for you."

A can of milk tea appeared in front of Liu Jiuli. It was bought for him by Ling. The two of them were now in the People's Park in Steel Grid.

"Thanks, sister."

Liu Jiuli took the milk tea, took a sip, and said, "Mmm, it's a familiar taste."

Then Liu Jiuli noticed Ling looking at him, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Sitting next to Liu Jiuli, Ling said with some emotion, "You are different from many other people."

Liu Jiuli: "What do you mean, a lot of people?"

"Many people have appeared in the history of Yan Kingdom. They are heroes, tyrants, villains, traitors, loyal ministers, and evil people. But no matter what kind of people they are, none of them would look at them like you do."

Looking at the crowd of people coming and going, Liu Jiuli immediately understood what she meant.

"It's no big deal. If you trace your lineage back three generations, you'll find that you were either a poor man or a commoner. Once you recognize that, you won't forget where you came from."

Ling: "But those who achieve something are always eager to distance themselves from others, trying their best to prove how privileged they are, as if the whole world is a playground built for them."

Liu Jiuli: "It's not surprising. As the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' Being superior to others is the most basic desire. Humans have only been evolving for a short time, and to think that one can break free from the constraints of genes is simply overestimating oneself."

Ling reached out and tapped Liu Jiuli's cheek: "Really? Then why do you usually seem so devoid of emotions?"

Liu Jiuli sighed: "I've been so busy lately that I don't have the leisure to think about such trivial things. Besides, don't you think it's more interesting to depict the future of the whole world than to buy some things for my own home?"

Ling: "Is this the vision of a great person? I love it!"

Liu Jiuli: "There are no great people appointed by divine mandate, only ordinary people who have done great things."

Ling smiled, looked at the city clock in the distance, and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, the New Year's Day of 1104. Have you thought about how you're going to spend it?"

Liu Jiuli: "Of course, we'll invite everyone over for a meal. It's a holiday, so it should be lively and festive."

Ling: "Nian and I thought so too, so Nian decided to bring Xi over, so it will be more lively."

Liu Jiuli: "Xi? Oh, the one who draws."

Ling: "She's also your older sister."

Liu Jiuli (＃￣～￣＃): "Yes, yes, I am the youngest, I accept it."

Ling (^▽^): "You can't deny this."

According to the law of conservation of happiness, if someone is happy, someone else must be unhappy, and the unhappy one is Yan Kingdom.

After the war with the Commonwealth, Yan's international standing could not be said to have improved, but it certainly declined. Domestic nationalists obviously could not accept that their great motherland was bullied by such a greenhorn. The Yan Emperor was very moved by the actions of these warriors, and then incorporated them all into the army, equipped them with the best weapons, and sent them to communicate with the Commonwealth's border troops.

Those Yan soldiers who provoked the Red Army on the border were mostly of this type, and their fates were generally not good.

If it's just about playing loudspeakers and cursing along the border, at most it's just disturbing the peace. But if you want to cause any trouble, you'll have to ask the Red Army patrol for permission. Having gone through a war to establish the nation, the community has no shortage of elite veterans.

When a new recruit encounters a veteran, and is not as well-equipped, the outcome is predictable.

Yanhuang's move did make the overly idealistic and passionate young people in the country realize the gap between ideals and reality, and they gradually stopped making trouble. However, the internal contradictions of Yan Kingdom will not disappear as a result.

The simplest example is that things are not stable in Jiuqu yet. Yes, Yan Kingdom has to transfer taxes from other prefectures and counties to ensure the court's tax revenue, which creates greater pressure on local areas.

Those gentry and nobles certainly wouldn't pay taxes, yet money could still be collected. So who was bearing the burden?

Yan Kingdom has become a pressure cooker, but unfortunately, the pressure relief valve of this pressure cooker is not working very well.

However, the one who suffered the most in the imperial court was indeed the Directorate of the Year, who was in charge of matters related to the Year Beast.

They lost their jobs, or rather, they were reinstated as employees under the Ministry of Rites.

The reason is very simple: Liu Jiuli is registered as one of the incarnations of the Sui Beast in the Yan Kingdom's official records. However, Si Suitai has no way to deal with this. From its appearance to the present day, Si Suitai's value is equivalent to nothing. Even if Si Suitai is innocent, the relevant departments have to take the blame for such a big mess.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Yan Kingdom does not need a special management agency for the Sui Beast in the short term, nor can it manage it.

They have a powerful leader who can control the entire Yanlong Army, possessing a formidable force that the Yan Kingdom fears, as well as terrifying ideological weapons. If the Yan Kingdom wants to do anything to the other Sui Beast clones, they must think twice before acting, or even just consider it and forget it. After all, you can't gamble that Liu Jiuli will have no reaction at all after something happens to someone's relative.

No need for anything else, just deploy a million troops along the border of Yan Kingdom, and the people of Yan Kingdom will never be able to sleep soundly.

"So you just let one of the Year Beast clones take away the other Year Beast clone!"

"Otherwise, would you dare to forcefully stop me?"

"Can't you guys think of something?"

"If there were a way, we wouldn't be the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of War."

"you!"

At this moment, the Grand Tutor stood up and said, "Alright, there's no point in our internal arguments. It's an undeniable fact that Yan is at a disadvantage against the community. The only thing we can do is to do what we're supposed to do. Yan absolutely cannot lose a second time!"

"Yes, my lord."

The Yan officials present were well aware of this. A monarchical autocracy like Yan was irreconcilably opposed to the Community, and the Community would inevitably march south sooner or later, at which point Yan would have no way out.

In addition, the highest levels of Yan Kingdom also understand that their hatred for the community is more of a betrayal of their comrades. The Red Specter has found a powerful shell and will inevitably launch a revenge against the rulers of the old world. Even if they forget their hatred, their class positions mean that the two sides cannot coexist.

Moreover, look at how Liu Jiuli dealt with those captured princes and nobles. The two classes have completely broken off relations and there is no room for maneuver. Now it is just a twenty-year truce.

Is it really possible to maintain a truce for twenty years, given the current rate of development of the community?

The Grand Tutor held official documents from the community. They had considered infiltrating the community and developing intelligence systems like the Embroidered Uniform Guard there. However, the problem was that their own personnel were either killed or unable to access important intelligence. As a result, the collection and organization of information about the community mainly relied on the community's news broadcasts.

What a fucking humiliation.

However, some things cannot be faked, such as the goods exported by the community to Yan, and the possible smuggling quantities.

These data can be used to estimate the community's production capacity; even if it's not accurate, at least a scale can be estimated.

The problem is, the current estimates are quite alarming.

"Is this the power of the Red Phantom? It's... terrifying."

Section 267: Outsiders and a Movie

(Update delivered, good morning everyone! (^?^))

Sargon is an ancient empire in the southwest of Terra, a relatively closed and warlike nation.

Today, four strangely dressed outsiders arrived in a small town on the border of Sargon.

Outsiders are quite common here, but those strangely dressed outsiders who have come from the scorching hot land are particularly attractive.

Where have we ended up?

"I seriously doubt that this is Earth anymore, but some other place."

"In other words, we've traveled through time!"

"Very likely."

"Then how do we get back?"

"You ask me how I know? I should be able to go back."

The four of them were exchanging glances and exchanging words in English. They were four elite members of the Rainbow Squad who had come to this place in pursuit of a former Soviet scientist, but heaven knows they ended up traveling through time.

At this moment, Ash and the others were unaware that although they were transmigrators, they were not among the first transmigrators, and that the world they were now in was undergoing turbulent changes.

Terra, January 1, 1104, New Year's Day

Today is a good day, but Liu Jiuli's mood has been less than pleasant since noon.

The incident stemmed from a movie, a movie called "Going to the Countryside".

The film tells the story of a highly educated intellectual who went to the countryside, and ultimately, the village successfully escaped poverty and became prosperous thanks to the intellectual's efforts.

There's nothing wrong with just listening to the content; any enlightened and intelligent person will embark on the path of working for the well-being of the people.

But after watching the whole film, Liu Jiuli now just wants to twist the director's and screenwriter's heads off.

"What the hell is this film?!"

In the office, Zhenli, who was in charge of approving the Miyun Corner project, was naturally criticized for her mistake.

Of course, Liu Jiuli also knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on Zhenli. Mi Yunjiao reviewed so many things every day that Zhenli could not possibly cover everything, but he could not possibly bypass Zhenli to criticize the directors and editors below.

His current status and position dictate that he cannot personally intervene in many matters. If he does, it means that the matter must be defined, and must be defined according to the leader's understanding. This is because it is the authority of the government and the political correctness required by the founding leader of the community. Even if you have an opinion, you have to swallow it.

It's not difficult for him to get out of this situation; the difficulty lies in how to control this unsupervised power.

Forget about the supervision and management of state institutions. For leaders, especially founding leaders, the power of state supervision is actually compressed to the extreme because they created a miracle and established a country. So before they die, every word they say has an influence like the emperor's will.

If you don't believe me, try letting the government of the Terra People's Community act against Liu Jiuli. Liu Jiuli doesn't even need to lift a finger; the people below can overthrow it. The chairman hasn't even given a word. Who the hell do you think you are?
