Chapter 830 The Collapsing Empire
Meng Chao snorted softly and said, "Aren't today's super corporations and extremely powerful men not 'free' enough?"
"In the view of supporters of the 'sun never sets theory', it is far from enough."
Shao Zhengyang said calmly, "Although it is well known that the nine super corporations are the ones that dominate the sky in Dragon City. The Survival Committee was established by them and is also a puppet to execute their will. Including the military budget of our Red Dragon Army, it has a huge
Part of it is controlled by super corporations.
"However, with the stability and development of Dragon City, the trust and support of tens of millions of citizens for the Survival Committee is increasing day by day. The puppet may also awaken its own will just like the puppet 'matrix' of the 'ancients'.
"Although the current nine super enterprises have monopolized most of the key fields and key departments, after all, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises and emerging forces, such as the crucian carp crossing the river and the bamboo shoots after the rain, are constantly popping up, and
Big companies are engaging in fierce competition.
"Although super corporations have their own private armed forces, these armed forces are ultimately subject to the unified orders of the Survival Committee and are not considered completely independent 'paramilitary organizations'.
"Although the peerless experts own companies in name, they are also restricted by various laws and audit regulations. They cannot misappropriate corporate assets as they wish and only use them for personal cultivation. They killed the doomsday beast in the wilderness.
Or after discovering crystal mineral veins, a large part of the monster materials and crystal minerals must be turned over to serve as "hunting tax", "resource tax", and "income tax".
"Theoretically speaking, even the founders of the nine super corporations cannot arbitrarily occupy the resources of even a weed in the Kirigakure Realm.
"All resources belong to Dragon City, and every plant and tree must be distributed and used according to the rules. Even if these rules are formulated by the peerless experts themselves, they are very beneficial to them. As time goes by, these peerless experts will eventually make the ever-expanding
, feeling more and more uncomfortable.
"Therefore, supporters of the 'sun never sets theory' believe that these laws and regulations have seriously restricted the development of super enterprises and the enthusiasm of extraordinary people to practice, explore, and expand.
"In other words, within the Monster Mountain Range, when protecting our common home, Dragon City, we must be united and united. From the most powerful to the most ordinary soldiers, we must abide by these rules and ensure that everyone is equal. This is
Something understandable.
"However, when the battlefield suddenly expands from the monster mountain range to the entire alien world, it seems inappropriate to cling to these rules and stick to them.
"The alien world is huge, the spiritual magnetic environment is extremely complex, and there may be all kinds of strange things, civilizations more dangerous than the monster civilization, and secret realms more dangerous than the Kirigakure Realm. If we can't use higher profits and greater freedom,
To stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises and extraordinary people, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to rush into the depths of the alien world like they did during the monster war.
"And what if a super company establishes an advance base in the depths of another world hundreds of thousands of miles away from Dragon City, and contacts or even conquers the local indigenous people? If everything must be reported to Dragon City and get the Survival Committee
The approval must be in the depths of an alien world where the environment, customs and ecosystem are completely different from Dragon City, and the laws of Dragon City must be immutably copied. Such rigidity is doomed to acclimatization and failure.
"Therefore, the 'Sun Never Sets Theory' believes that we should give more power to extraordinary people and super enterprises. Only by taking super enterprises as the core can we give full play to the efficiency of enterprises and the subjective initiative of extraordinary people, and better colonize other worlds.
"Specifically, on the basis of maintaining the status quo within the Monster Mountain Range, outside the Monster Mountain Range, the 'hunting tax, resource tax, income tax' and a series of other... uses for extraordinary people and enterprises should be further reduced."
In the words of supporters of the "sun never sets theory", "exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes" are imposed.
"After all, everything outside the Monster Mountain Range does not belong to Dragon City Civilization in the first place. No matter how much companies and extraordinary people can plunder, it is all in vain for Dragon City Civilization. Even if you only pay 1% of the tax, it will be nothing.
Very reasonable.
"On the other hand, supporters of the 'sun never sets theory' believe that in order to better adapt to the complex, treacherous and ever-changing environment of other worlds, extraordinary beings and super corporations, after leaving the Monster Mountains, must do whatever is necessary without harming the citizens of Dragon City.
In the case of interests, there is no need to abide by the laws of Dragon City. In fact, super enterprises can formulate their own corporate rules based on the customs and customs in the depths of the alien world to temporarily replace the law.
"Third, in order to better promote the glory of earth civilization, open up other world markets and plunder other world resources, the super enterprise can expand the scale and level of the enterprise's armed forces according to the actual situation, and, in case we and the new alien civilization
In the event of a conflict, the core combat force should be the corporate armed forces, not the Red Dragon Army. After all, compared to most of the grassroots officers and soldiers who are composed of ordinary people, the Red Dragon Army, which is as huge and bloated as a herbivorous dinosaur, is composed entirely of extraordinary people.
Only a corporate armed force with well-equipped soldiers and outstanding combat effectiveness is more suitable for deploying long-range strike forces throughout other worlds."
Meng Chao's pupils shrank little by little.
"It sounds like a super enterprise that achieves these three things is truly a 'super'!"
He murmured, "No wonder it's called the 'Sun Never Sets Theory'. Such a super enterprise is simply an enhanced version of the 'East Tianzhu Company', the empire on which the sun never sets. A super enterprise can start a war."
, and can also mobilize the resources of the entire civilization to serve the interests of super enterprises!"
Meng Chao sighed secretly in his heart.
The inertia of history is extremely powerful.
After returning from the end of the world, he tried his best to change many things.
But more history is still rolling forward along the track of fate, towards a future that is destined to be destroyed.
In the previous life of Dragon City, concepts like the "sun never sets theory" were very popular.
The nine super corporations expanded uncontrollably and gradually overtook the entire civilization.
The Red Dragon Army at that time was indeed, as Shao Zhengyang said, "a huge but bloated herbivorous dinosaur". They had only quantity but no quality, and could not chew any hard bones. They were often treated as soft persimmons by the masters of the natives from other worlds.
Come and knead it at will, it is just a huddled in a stronghold, a garrison army, a security force and the like.
At that time, Dragon City's most elite armed forces were paramilitary organizations affiliated with the nine super corporations.
The "Ghost Brigade" that Meng Chao joined in his previous life is such a special force controlled by a super enterprise.
Judging from the conditioning of the Black Skull Training Camp and the experience of the Ghost Brigade, he was actually in his twenties, dragging a broken body that had been seriously injured in high school, and could become a "third-rate master".
You can know that the super enterprise at that time mastered excellent biochemical technology, scientific cultivation methods, and monopolized most of the cultivation resources.
Compared with today's "Nine Big", it is more than ten times stronger!
Unfortunately……
Ruled by such powerful nine super corporations, Dragon City Civilization was still destroyed.
"How's it going, Meng Chao?"
Shao Zhengyang observed the words and asked Meng Chao, who was recalling and meditating, "Do you think the 'sun never sets theory' is reasonable? According to this theory, as the 'youngest heaven-level expert in Dragon City', you can still
With your super star resources, outside the Monster Mountains, in the vast alien world, I really have the opportunity to work hard to achieve an unprecedented and great cause!"
Meng Chao took a deep breath.
If it were the second young man who was successful and whose chest was full of ambition, he would be deeply attracted by the picture painted by the "sun never sets theory".
Even if you are facing a military boss, without saying anything, the flames of ambition will definitely surge in your eyes.
But even if there is fire in Meng Chao's eyes, it is the demonic fire that will bring doom and destroy Dragon City.
This demonic fire was enough to extinguish all his ambitions and extravagant hopes.
"The empire on which the sun never sets finally collapsed."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and said extremely calmly, "Even at its peak, you can see the Union Jack flag flying high in every corner of the earth where the sun shines; the cannons and ships with this flag can be seen flying high in the sky.
Any country within the four seas is domineering; a company in the empire can easily conquer and enslave thousands of people from backward ethnic groups, and even control their thoughts and beliefs.
"However, such a powerful, arrogant and seemingly eternal empire continued to decline and fall apart over the next two to three hundred years.
“From losing most of its industrial and military power, to losing most of its overseas territories, to losing the power of cultural export, to losing influence in the financial, economic and legal fields…
"Before we traveled through time, the once-prominent global empire had long shrunk into an insignificant third-rate country. The efforts made to restore its former glory have made it look like an exhausted clown jumping up and down.
"I don't want to see our Dragon City civilization end up like an empire on which the sun never sets.
"If we only pursue short-term interests within thirty to fifty years, pursue momentary excitement, and pursue the superficial so-called 'glory of the empire,' then the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets may not be an excellent 'teacher.'
"But what about thirty to fifty years later? What about one or two hundred years later? Or even, what about a thousand years later?
"You know, if the 'Matrix' had not lied, all civilizations and the entire ecosystem on the surface of the earth would most likely have been destroyed in a full-scale nuclear war.
"In other words, we will not be able to return to Earth within three to five hundred years, and we can only regard other worlds as our only home.
"It will take at least five hundred years of preparation before we can accumulate enough resources to return to the devastated earth and rebuild the entire civilization starting from grass to tree, brick to tile.
