Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

Because the demand for basic-level positions in science and engineering is an objective reality, most children from ordinary families will only have better employment opportunities if they study computer or electronic information majors.

Although humanities and social sciences are useful for the entire field, for individuals, the income earned by a student studying education or literature cannot be compared with that of a student studying science and engineering.

In this case, in order to meet the general policy demands from above and respect objective facts, it would be better to let everyone study science and engineering, and then train some of the students in interdisciplinary subjects.

This will not only increase the number of liberal arts students in general, but also solve the employment problem, and even create more jobs for colleges and universities. It can achieve three goals with one stroke by opening up some majors that look high-end but actually have completely unchanged courses.

But if this continues for a long time, the final result will be that every major will have something to do with computer and electronic information engineering, and even a dog on the street may be able to learn Java.

I don’t know whether the society has developed better, but these two majors, which originally had good employment prospects, will sooner or later follow the fate of civil engineering.

Therefore, if you want to implement the policy to your ideal state, some seemingly absurd policies become indispensable.

For example, a pro-Lin Party member once proposed a motion to legalize the old society's custom of bride price, which would help reduce the divorce rate among the local population.

When this proposal was first made, the congressman was criticized by the public so much that he even lost his mother. However, this also successfully shifted the attention of the grassroots people to their views on marriage, which indirectly led to a decrease in the number of people who use gene editing technology to give birth. There was even a saying among the people.

"Anyone who marries for anything other than love is impure in nature, and the same is true for having children."

In that month alone, the group alliance's gene editing technology lost nearly 30% of its profits, which made Ai AA's scalp tingle.

The power of the masses is great, but the purpose of the masses is blind. Throughout the history of China, any pure peasant uprising will ultimately end in destruction.

Therefore, in policy making, as a planner who takes a holistic view of the situation, Luo Congmin is more likely to try to minimize the impact of accidents rather than prevent the probability of accidents from happening.

This is also the reason why Lin Xuan, who has mastered the thinking and computing power of 50 billion people, is unable to replace Luo Congmin's important position in the Earth Alliance.

As civil servants, what matters is the golden mean within the rules. Everyone knows how things should be done, but knowing what to do and knowing how to do it are two different things.

But blindly giving in is just a temporary solution; at most it will only delay the outbreak of internal conflicts.

"So, how long can we last now?"

Luo Congmin leaned back in his chair at a conference table, looking at the thick stack of documents on the table.

And there is only one person in the entire Earth Federation who can make Luo Congmin the second seat.

Luo Ji.

Maybe it was because he had been taking good care of himself at home during this period, but Wang Miao always felt that Luo Ji now looked younger than his daughter, as if he had seen the academic fraudster who taught at Huaqing University and could shamelessly spend money to buy experimental results.

If there is reincarnation in the world, Luo Ji must be the reincarnation of Edison.

"As for the military, there is no need to worry for now. Although AA has been committed to expanding the military, but... to be honest, the production lines are all here, and what they are given are all obsolete items."

Since taking charge of the military, Diaz has become more and more majestic.

However, it is worth mentioning that Luo Congmin had even thought about asking Taylor to help him, but was strongly stopped by his father and uncle's family.

At first Luo Congmin didn't understand and went to ask his mother Zhuang Yan. Later, Zhuang Yan was silent for a long time and said something meaningful.

"Kid, this is Lin Xuan's fault. After he destroyed the PDC, some scholars beautified a lot of history in order to whitewash him. They also deleted a lot of information from the previous UN. As a result, you are not very clear about the previous relations between countries."

"Let me put it this way. Taylor was elected as the Wallfacer because he was the Minister of Defense. Rey Diaz was elected as the Wallfacer because he led his country to successfully resist Taylor."

Chapter 326 Approval Process

Diaz said this and cleared his throat.

"But you and I should know that the ability to build warships for the Star Ring Group is itself a potential threat. I think the scrap metal he put out there is just the tip of the iceberg. As long as the Star Ring Group's warship manufacturing rights are not taken back, I'm afraid..."

That was all Diaz said, but everyone present was smart and naturally understood the other meaning he wanted to express.

The point is not how much they built, but whether they can build it.

Because with the detection capabilities of the Ground Alliance, no matter how deep they dig into the warships of the Star Ring Group, they can only detect the layer floating on the surface. Maybe the Star Ring Group already has thousands of warships at this time.

"Since we can't guess exactly how many there are, we should try to make a saturated estimate as much as possible."

Ding Yi wiped the corner of his mouth with his index finger and flipped through a paper design document in front of him again and again.

"They are expanding their military, and so are we. I don't believe they can be faster in secret than we are in the open."

"This is absolutely not okay."

Luo Congmin shook his head.

"Now, due to the construction of the Ring World, the taxes borne by ordinary people have reached 12% of their total income. The whole society is already in a downturn. If the tax burden continues to increase, it will probably be even more disadvantageous to us."

After these years of development, the originally disorganized fleet structure of the Ground Alliance has been reorganized to only three fleets.

[Galaxy]: The regular army of the Earth Alliance, mainly composed of the expeditionary fleet and some new ships. It is large in scale and has the most complete types of ships among all fleets.

[Sun and Moon]: This fleet is Luo Congmin's private army. Ninety percent of its members are clones left behind by Liu Chang. Countless historical lessons have told Luo Congmin a fact: as long as the military power is not in his own hands, many positions will eventually become in name only.

Of course, the lessons learned here do not include Lin Xuan overthrowing the PDC.

[Xingchen]: A heavy firepower unit built by the Earth Alliance in the later period. It almost integrates all the cutting-edge technologies of the entire Earth Alliance. Its lethality is also extremely amazing. The chief designer of the fleet is personally served by the great engineer Wang Miao.

In the early stages of the design of the [Star] fleet, the intention was to create a guard fleet for the future ring world, to be responsible for the escort mission of the ring world.

After all, it is a huge project that uses an entire star as fuel. Without heavy firepower, its mobility would make it impossible to escape if it encounters danger.

Wang Miao had the same idea, and the fleet he designed was full of murderous intent, the type that only attacks and does not defend.

After all, in his opinion, blindly defending is never a long-term solution.

As long as I kill all the enemies, won't it be able to protect the ring world?

The three fleets have their own strengths, but they all have one thing in common: they are very expensive.

It costs money to build it, and it costs even more to complete it. The rest of the people don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are if they don’t manage the household. Luo Congmin is so anxious that his hair is turning white.

She is not willing to spend more money to expand the army.

After a long time, Luo Ji suddenly spoke.

"If we can find a way to have a fight, that would be great."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent instantly.

Everyone's brains were a little stunned by what Luo Ji said. After a long while, they almost thought of a solution at the same time!

"Military exercise!"

"boom!"

Luo Congmin slammed the table excitedly, and a plan quickly took shape in her mind.

"That's right, Dr. Luo Ji, you are a genius. We can create a fake military exercise to make the enemy reveal their true colors. In this way, we will have a reason to clean up our inventory."

Luo Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

"In this room, you call me Dr. Luo Ji, and I won't argue with you, but outside this room, what do you think you should call me?"

Luo Congmin thought for a moment.

"You should call me Mr. President when you leave this room."

The military exercise between the Ground Alliance and the Star Ring Group was finally scheduled for 24 days later, which happened to be New Year's Day. Ai AA didn't think much about it and agreed directly.

This immediately attracted the attention of countless media reporters.

Of course, their focus is not on the local alliance, but on the group alliance of AA.

Ever since the Ground Alliance civilianized the manufacturing rights of warships, many people have been wondering how big the gap is between private enterprises and the Ground Alliance's military industry. After all, most people believe that the overall technological strength of the Star Ring Group is far superior to that of the Ground Alliance.

That’s right, StarRing Group’s technology is indeed superior to that of EarthLink.

This is mainly due to two reasons. 1. The economy of Dilian is developing comprehensively. It is impossible for it to develop only one or a few projects like Xinghuan Group. 2. It is because of the outflow of talents.

Luo Congmin reformed education countless times, but the talents she trained did not choose to work for the Federation of Local Governments.

The operating model of the Local Federation is actually to reap the interests of the middle class and the elite, and then pass these interests on to the ordinary people, creating a free and democratic society where the Local Federation cares about the ordinary people.

But this is bound to offend the interests of the middle-class elite, and AA can establish a group alliance by relying on the support of the middle-class elite.

To put it simply, the struggle of the local federation has shifted from the initial party struggle to class struggle.

The most ridiculous thing is that normal school education and training will not produce too many elites. After all, the essence of education has been to serve the ruling class from the very beginning. You just need to graduate and become a slave. If you really understand how to make money and accumulate original assets, what's the point of that?

Doesn't that mean that an ordinary person can surpass their three generations of hard work with just ten years of study?

How can this be allowed?

But the Federation of Geographical Institutions has been fighting wars for the past 20 years, both external and internal, so Luo Congmin's initial policy was to speed up talent training in school education and increase the pace of high-tech development.

As a result, the school really trained a large number of elites for her, which was completely giving Ai AA an advantage.

Ai AA doesn't even have to do anything. Every year, a large number of talents will flock to the StarRing Group, and then grow this capital giant like a snowball.

On the other hand, there seems to be a lack of young scientific research talents in the Geographical Union, and even the administrative talents are too old.

During this period, Luo Congmin made concessions on policies again and again because the demonstrations organized by college students were too intense and the pressure from public opinion from all sides made the top leaders of the Local Federation feel a little breathless.

It doesn’t matter whether the policies promoted by the top leaders of the Local Association are wrong or not. What matters is that these students do not really support or oppose this policy in essence.

It's just because they are now tied to the middle-class elite, and as middle-class elites, they will never betray the interests of their class, so Luo Congmin must implement an iron-fisted suppression on this matter.

Their reputation is ruined, but if they really succeed, it will be hard to say whether the local leader will be named Luo or Aiko in the future.

When you see the grassroots people marching and demonstrating, when has the local federation ever intervened in their affairs?

Luo Congmin was also very determined. She knew that these elite students stood on the moral high ground of righteousness, and she could not convict them, as that would only arouse public indignation.

So the charge she brought against these students was that they had violated the law on demonstrations and processions.

That is, any demonstration or march needs to be approved by the local government. After the review is passed, the demonstration or march can be organized only after the materials are stamped.

When the result came out, everyone was stunned.

No buddy, are you kidding me?

I am already holding a demonstration, do I still need your permission in advance?

But that’s how the local federation works. As long as you don’t go through the approval process, you are gathering illegally and I have reason to arrest you.

However, I am not against the content of your parade. It is that you did not follow the approval process and conduct the parade in a civilized and polite manner.

Chapter 32 Military Exercise

Whenever a war is about to begin, corresponding signs will emerge.

Then, the middle class and the elite will flee this land as much as possible, like birds before an earthquake.

Luo Congmin was very clear that the Local Federation did not have any mass base in this war. Although the Local Federation had provided great benefits to ordinary people in terms of policies, whether or not it had a mass base did not have much direct connection with this. Ultimately, it depended on whether the propaganda work was implemented.

The local news media has always been controlled by the group alliance. Although the official also has its own news channels, due to the corruption problems in recent years, these channels have been ruined and no one is willing to read them.

Therefore, this has become a major hidden danger for the Ground Alliance. She must cut the Gordian knot quickly. From the moment she decides to launch an attack on the group alliance to the end of the war, the whole process should be as fast as possible, and she must truly clear all obstacles with the force of thunder.

Otherwise, once the battle line is extended, with the group alliance's ability to create public opinion, the Local Alliance will be completely led by the nose.

This blitzkrieg was even more difficult to fight than the Battle of Los Angeles that year.

Although Lin Xuan challenged the five largest dungeons in the world alone, the lower-class people had long been resentful because of the great depression at that time, so Lin Xuan's counterattack was a natural result.

Otherwise, throughout history, there have been several armies like Lin Xuan that lost more and more people the more they fought.

This time, the Ground Union did not stand on the principle of justice. It had completely lost public opinion and people's hearts. The only advantage of the Ground Union in this war was that they had the opportunity to take the initiative.

Ai AA probably never expected that the Ground Federation would suddenly launch an attack at this critical juncture, and if they were going to fight, they would catch her off guard.

"I will personally command this military exercise, and no one is allowed to interfere in this matter." Luo Congmin said firmly.

She swept her eyes around everyone present, finally stopping at her father's face, and remained silent.

"This is a huge gamble. The price of the bet is everything I have. If I fail, please wrap my body with the flag of the Earth Federation and bury it."

The attack on the group alliance was launched without any provocation, and it was launched suddenly in the middle of a negotiated military exercise. If they won, it would be fine. If they failed to completely break up the group alliance, then Luo Congmin would become the greatest shame in the history of the entire Earth Alliance, and even in the history of mankind.

"Is it really necessary to do this, Xiao Min? I think there is still a way to solve the problem. We can negotiate with Ai AA on your behalf."

Ding Yi looked at Luo Congmin. He had raised this kid since he was a child. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for her.

Now, in the blink of an eye, this child is going to risk his own future to challenge the entire group alliance. Ding Yi feels that the risk is a bit too great.

The Star Ring Group, and even the entire group alliance, is, after all, a part of the Earth Alliance. Even the worst outcome would be that they would become independent from the Earth Alliance after they have developed.

Faced with such an organization, is it really necessary for the Ground Federation to wipe it out?

"I also think it's too radical." Diaz looked at Luo Congmin while fiddling with his fingers.

His words still surprised many people present. After all, in the entire Earth Federation, this kid was the most radical since Wade left.
