Perhaps it is because of the consistent strength of Oceania's civilization, coupled with its shameless long-arm jurisdiction, and the sudden and violent deaths of important people from Grenada to Southern Serbia to Iraq.
Therefore, it is easy for people who eat melons to have the illusion that Oceania will kill anyone they want to kill foreigners who hate them.
But in fact, it is relatively easy for those who really know how to do it to "have room for ease".
The untimely death of Saddam and others is only due to the reverse "survivor effect", so it looks particularly eye-catching and is easily mentioned again and again. But in fact, there are only so many people who are targeted to this extent every ten years in the world.
Several of them have been exterminated at this cost, and Oceania cannot afford this cost.
So, how can we survive? In the final analysis, it is a principle.
The international reputation is better, but the real power and interests in hand are less.
There are hundreds of millions of people who truly admire you, but your life is only worth 3 billion barrels of oil, so you can survive.
Only tens of millions of benevolent people truly admire you, and even more people from neighboring countries hate you, but your life is worth 150 billion barrels of oil, so you have to die.
Martin Luther King was indeed killed, but it was a personal act by racial observers, not the Oceania authorities at the time. The white authorities at the time were actually quite furious when they heard that he had been killed, because such an assassination would not have been possible.
It had an effect, and it also raised the prestige of Martin Luther King, which caused greater pressure on racial equality in Oceania and accelerated the process.
The same goes for Gu Kun. He is not without the risk of being killed, but he only needs to beware of the liquidation of those narrow-minded private organizations. He believes that the Oceania authorities are calm and will not do stupid things that worsen the situation in Southeast Asia.
The people he wants to guard against are the same as the Basque rebels he provoked when he offended the Spaniards. It is also the same as the remnants of the 3K that Martin Luther King provoked when he offended the men of Oceania.
The official will not come to deal with him. Those forces that wander in the gray area have to be guarded against. The security company he established and the corresponding force are only enough to guard against the armed forces in these gray areas.
Many readers who are not familiar with the international relations profession may have forgotten that throughout the late 1990s and early 21st century, Oceania's sphere of influence in Southeast Asia actually declined for a while.
Beginning in the second half of Clinton's second term, nominally in order to concentrate on responding to the new situation in Europe and coordinate resources to go to Europe, deployment in Southeast Asia was reduced. (The reason at the time was the attack on southern Serbia in 1999.
, and the color of the rose in Georgia that lasted until 2003. These are all in conjunction with NATO's eastward expansion, squeezing the Lucian people's sphere of influence in the country that was originally split from Lucia)
This process lasted for one and a half terms, and was not resumed until Xiao Busheng's second term. However, Oceania did a better job of saving face and named this retreat "changing 'forward deployment' to 'forward presence'"
, but anyone who is really knowledgeable knows that withdrawing F15 fighter jets from the Philippines and Okinawa to Guam is a kind of concession driven by public anger.
There is no other reason than that the authorities of Oceania are repaying debts for Wall Street financial dogs represented by Soros and others.
Most of the Chinese officials just had little opportunity to go to Southeast Asia in those years, so they cannot imagine how much impact the natural hostility of Southeast Asian public opinion towards Oceania had between 1997 and 2008. (At that time, tourism between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand should be
It is not popular now. I took advantage of the summer vacation after the college entrance examination in 2005 to visit Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. I saw it with my own eyes and talked to the local Chinese)
In this life, Gu Kun just followed history, and then established himself as a benchmark, giving a layer of color to the hidden things. All the cause and effect, in fact, were there to begin with.
And when he did this, he had a deeper gain, that is, he had a clear motive for turning his future towards China.
It is impossible for a person from Oceania to become a worm on Gu Kun's body. We know what Gu Kun has been thinking all along. We also don't know that when Gu Kun bought the aircraft carrier and explored the oil fields, he deliberately planned to plot against Oceania.
According to some institutions in Oceania, although Gu Kun has become very fierce now, he was originally pro-Ocean.
The reason for his "dramatic change of temperament" is entirely due to Soros.
Gu Kun accidentally became addicted to playing this "anti-Soros vanguard" and found that holding this position could win him so much prestige and support in Southeast Asia, so he insisted on this position. Maybe that was not his original intention?
Just like those politicians in Oceania who maintain a hawkish attitude to the outside world in order to win support, it is probably just a trick to play with public opinion and is not his original position.
This is because the professional politicians in Oceania have no position or belief. They only care about "what position I show can get more people to support me." They pretend to have a position and talk nonsense to others.
Gu Kun didn't even need to act on this point. He believed that the hypocrites in Oceania could understand it, because that was what those hypocrites were doing.
…
Amid the fierce turmoil of public opinion, the wheel of history quietly rolled over to New Year's Day, 1998.
In the past week or so, the media in various Southeast Asian countries have followed up, extended, and discussed Gu Kun and Soros's confrontation to a whole new level.
Because of the great influence of famous talker Gu Kun, hundreds of millions of people have gained a stronger sense of moral justice and firmly believe that the Wall Street dogs of Oceania are despicable and despicable, and may lead to greater instability in the world in the future.
.
In this world, there is no need to kill, rob, occupy land resources, or seize anything substantial, but it can lead to the realization of financial virtual products by threatening the other party's confidence?
So in the future, will all the "forced attacks carried out to make people panic or lose confidence" around the world be because Wall Street's virtual economy provides a channel for realizing those emotional fluctuations?
This shocking and high-level view is so popular that some ministers of Oceania are thinking in their hearts: I wonder if in a few years, the world will really have the kind of people who do not kill for the purpose of plundering.
, a desperado with the purpose of occupying and destroying the virtual national confidence?
After three years, Oceania will really be retaliated. Gu Kun's status in the world will be as high as that of Brzezinski. Brzezinski is the mentor of a certain minister of Oceania and the presidential security adviser 20 years ago.
Mr. Ji was notorious for his poor response to the Iran hostage crisis. But because of his good luck, that guy always hated Lucia extremely, so he predicted Lucia's inevitable disintegration nearly ten years in advance.
As a result, Lucia was really disbanded ten years later in 1991, and Brzezinski's international status in the international relations academic community soared again. The major of international relations actually does not pay much attention to the logical self-consistency of academic concepts, because
There are no principles in this field, so here it is to see who can make predictions, who will be the master of Guiguan academics.
…
However, Gu Kun felt a little worried.
He knew that what he said was just borrowing some key points from Yuval Harari. It was enough to appear on a talk show, but it was far from enough to form a theoretical system.
Therefore, on New Year's Day in 1998, at the annual meeting of "Lanfang Culture" company executives, while a group of close confidants gathered together, Gu Kun handed over a task to his subordinates.
He found Tang Jia: "Jiajia, starting from this year, don't be the general manager of the company. You can see who is suitable and give me a few candidates. For business matters, I will find someone else to help me take charge of the overall situation."
Tang Jia was a little surprised and found it unbelievable: "What did I do wrong? You want to withdraw me?"
Gu Kun: "What are you talking about? I think you should make the best use of your talents. I asked you to be the general manager because you haven't officially graduated yet and are only suitable for working in the business world. Now, it's time to move on.
It has moved into a more important position.”
Tang Jia and Gu Kun are in the same grade, so they also graduated in July 1997. She is only 23 years old now, and she has officially graduated half a year ago.
Tang Jia: "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Kun: "Now you should give up your Chinese nationality and naturalize our Lanzhou nationality. After the Spring Festival, after you hand over the hand, you will be the Foreign Minister of our Lan side - you are a professional in international relations, so you will be the foreign minister of Lanzhou."
Used in this major.
In addition, I also hope that you will take the time to write a monograph on international relations. The central idea will be drawn from my previous debate with Soros, about "the indulgence of so-called absolute financial freedom, which may lead to the crisis of international relations in the new era."
Extract this part.
In a nutshell, I want to see that 'the creation of virtual economic financial derivatives that can be cashed out simply because they are short on the confidence of the people of a certain country will lead to the proliferation of indiscriminate and non-traditional motive attacks.'
And the new media rules of 'In the era of Internet 1.0, clicks are the last word, and GDP can be generated even if you are scolded', resulting in social internal friction for the purpose of producing news to gain attention. For example, in the future, there will not only be communication in order to gain people's attention
They often hurt each other, and some people even broadcast live broadcasts of suicide in Oceania in order to become famous, etc... You can deduce the details yourself.
All in all, I think the traditional Oceania-style absolute financial freedom and the so-called absolute media freedom are harmful. The Chinese-style freedom of fine-tuning through macro-control is superior to Oceania."
Gu Kun felt that it was most appropriate to find a Chinese scholar to write this kind of article, and to write it by a newbie who was not bound by interest groups. The views were all his anyway, and the ghostwriter only had to have good basic skills in customs.
Every word he said came from his heart, because he knew how ridiculous Oceania-style so-called media freedom was in the post-Internet era.
Just to give you an example, in Oceania, in order to protect the so-called "absolute freedom of expression", it is legal for Oceanic citizens to live broadcast suicide and self-mutilation on YouTube to seek attention. But in China, there are so many live broadcast platforms, if you do this kind of extreme self-abuse
Seeking fame for doing things is banned. This is where China is superior to Oceania.
Because Chinese people uphold "the rights of all people, the most fundamental of which are the right to survival and development." Gu Kun feels that this is very positive energy and can also resist those perverts who seek fame through death after the proliferation of Internet celebrity culture.
Regarding the so-called perverted freedom of the people of Oceania, Gu Kun has only one sentence. If they want to be famous by death so much, then they should all die. (I won’t go into details. If you are really interested, you can watch "Prosperity Apocalypse Battle Royale".
How the people of Oceania died can be found in the free chapters. It’s really not an advertisement. I never expected that kind of philosophy book to make money.)
Tang Jia doesn't know much about the Internet yet, so she can only forcefully remember her boss's demands first and prepare to slowly deduce them when she goes back.
Gu Kun watched his subordinates leave and thought to himself: Anyway, your husband is the person in charge of Blackwater security. It doesn't matter if you help me resist a little more hatred. If the security force is idle, it will be idle.
Gu Kun also happened to provide an explanation for his recent "extraordinary performance in the field of international relations" and acted more realistically.
