It's because in Qin Shan's previous life, the human regimes after 2300 were getting worse year by year, and everyone was living a frugal life, recycling all usable resources.
Now Qinshan has finally regained the good days of fighting for a good living.
At this moment, 1,500 meters away, is the official residence of the Venezuelan president.
The shameless actions of the United States have prompted anti-American countries in the Americas who have grievances against the US to start banding together. Although this banding may not be very effective, it is better than doing nothing.
This meeting is an internal meeting of Venezuela. Representatives from Brazil, Chile, and Argentina will also be coming later, as will some anti-American political parties from other countries. Even if the United States wants to leech off Venezuela, the countries in the Americas should unite to make it harder for them.
Yes, it's just a little harder to inhale, not that they banded together with the US and exploded.
What can we do? Not every country has the same determination as us, to fight to the death even if it means being poor.
To put it more bluntly, a nation that can withstand the loss of 35 million lives, even if it falls into decline for a time, will have countless opportunities to rise again. Most countries, on the other hand, don't even have the courage to bear such casualties, let alone the qualifications to do so. A large population may not necessarily mean a strong nation, but rather a nation that is outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
Even so, Third Brother was still considered an outstanding student outside of the Four Constants.
Wait, isn't it the Five Constant Virtues?
The British economy is worse than India's, so he got fired!! (Slams table)
Since these people can't stand up for themselves, Qin Shan can only help them save face. The method is very simple: just start killing.
They specifically target anti-American individuals, not only killing them but also their entire families, but deliberately letting the more capable among them go.
Those who choose to kneel before the United States under such deep-seated hatred are either truly kneeling or wallflowers; most will definitely fight the United States to the death, since they have no other choice.
If so, Qin Shan would send them on their way.
Won't the US government have any suspicions?
Of course they will, but does it matter whether they suspect or not? Anyway, they can't catch Qin Shan, and given the reputation of the US government and the assurances other countries have given to the US, they've long treated it as a pile of shit disguised as chocolate. The US has done far too many cases of "killing the dog after the rabbit is caught," and these things will only become shit on the US that it can never wash off, since they themselves are a cesspool.
Those who resist the United States must be killed, and those who surrender to the United States must also be killed. In the eyes of others, this means that those who resist must die, and those who surrender must also die because they want to take away the interests of the United States. Only those who bring their own dog food and devote themselves to the United States are qualified to go to the United States to become a donut, a cream puff that will be filled up at any time.
Damn the Americans! I'm not a dog to be your dog meat. They don't leave us any way to survive anyway. I'll fight to the death and not let you get a single bite.
That's pretty much it.
What follows is a very awkward situation. When anti-American individuals are killed, the US government will certainly jump out and say that it did not kill them, but no one will believe it. And when those who surrendered to the US are killed, others will assume that it is the US refusing to give any benefits and thus abandoning its allies. After all, if mud falls into your pants, it's still shit even if it's not shit.
The CIA must be thinking, "Wow!" But nobody will believe their explanation. Even if they say they believe it, they won't believe it at all.
What can we do? It's America's reputation that was overdrawn a long time ago, and there's simply no room for it to decline now.
You said it can be improved?
My friend, credit is something that's hard to build but can be destroyed in an instant. If the United States wants to rebuild its credibility, it would first have to become a socialist country and prove it by hanging its own humanoids on streetlights.
So what can Qin Shan gain from the chaos and turmoil in the United States, and even the entire Americas?
The answer is: Build your own state apparatus.
No matter how powerful a superhuman is, their personal energy and spirit are limited, and they cannot pay attention to every aspect. Qin Shan, a superhuman capable of destroying a country, can do that, but as a superhuman capable of managing a country and using its resources for production and construction, Qin Shan only has six ship girls by his side at most, plus himself, making a total of seven people. However, these seven people can build a massive national-level management system through a hierarchical system of management. The resources that a large country with an area of over ten million square kilometers can utilize are definitely far more than those of seven people.
The Americas in World Two were the pilot project Qin Shan chose, but before that, the original local order had to be destroyed.
Admittedly, the order in the Americas is terrible in the eyes of outsiders, but even in its worst state, it is still more stable than the order in continents without the suppression of a superior power. Just look at Africa, and everyone will understand immediately.
This order would hinder Qin Shan's operations in the Americas. In an orderly environment, the US intelligence system would pay attention to all emerging organizations, but if everything is in chaos, the CIA would also be overwhelmed.
It's easier to place pieces after the chessboard is cleared.
"You will become heroes."
Qin Shan gripped a Thunder 2060 anti-materiel sniper rifle in each hand and began firing at the Venezuelan presidential palace, 1500 meters away. The two magazines, containing a total of 24 20mm sniper rounds, were quickly emptied. At the same time, the entire Venezuelan presidential palace descended into chaos.
With unerring accuracy, Qin Shan's targets were all reduced to mangled corpses.
Of course it will break. A 12.7mm bullet can break a person in half, and a 20mm bullet can easily shatter half of a body.
In 2066, the second world, the power of most weapons has made a qualitative leap, but the human body is still so fragile, and this fragility further highlights the brutality of modern weapons.
"All done, let's move to another location."
Section 39: An Extra-Large Shit Pot
(Please vote! Please give coins! Please support!)
There was once a question: What would happen if there were superhuman beings in our world?
The following answer is quite brilliant, and now Qin Shan can answer it with his own actions: utterly crushing it.
The premise is that you have enough self-defense capabilities. After all, before becoming a high-level superhuman, modern armies have many ways to kill superhumans, including biological weapons.
However, if you have sufficient self-defense capabilities, then the state apparatus will reveal its immense vulnerability to you.
The top level is heavily protected and difficult to target, but what about the village chiefs, mayors, governors, and other officials of all ranks below? Surely they can't all be protected by national-level military forces.
This is a classic example of grassroots disintegration. When the state's control over the grassroots level declines to a certain extent, other forces will step in on their own. They may not be able to get things done, but they can definitely cause trouble, leading to a continuous increase in the chaos and redundancy of the entire national system. Ultimately, this will cause nationwide chaos in a way that even Wang Anshi would collapse. Once the chaotic era begins, even if the superhumans do nothing, it will still be a major reshuffle that will last for at least ten years.
If construction is impossible, then extreme destruction is also a form of construction. If you step on the gas pedal without brakes, the world will return to normal once everyone calms down from their despair.
This is the significance of world wars.
Qinshan is doing something similar now.
If American capital in the second world wants to exploit others, then they must have a system of exploitation that they can control. To put it bluntly, chaos is acceptable, but it must be controllable and cannot affect their ability to make money. In fact, capital hates chaos the most because it makes their costs uncontrollable, especially when there are bad accounts. Just look at the US military presence overseas; the more chaotic the place, the less likely capital is to make money.
Orderly, controllable chaos—that's what capital desires.
The problem is, you can decide when a war starts, but you can't decide when it ends, let alone control its scale, especially the impact of chaotic ideologies. Qin Shan is currently strengthening the external management system of the US government. Outside the US, American power is relatively weak, and they need proxies to exploit other countries. These proxies must at least possess a certain level of national governance capabilities; otherwise, they'll end up like those impoverished African countries with very little money.
Many people criticize the bureaucratic system, but the reality is that without them, the country really cannot function. Even if it were completely replaced by super AI, a certain number of civil servants would still be needed to serve the public. This is determined by the nature of human states. You can't expect everyone to be rational, which is as absurd as the "rational man assumption" of the market.
If there are no problems in theory, it means that problems will arise everywhere when the theory is turned into reality.
For a space-type superhuman like Qin Shan, killing ordinary people is incredibly easy. If he could do it without any restrictions, it would be a breeze. He can now precisely teleport an object weighing no more than one ton to any location within a five-kilometer radius. Note that it's any location. And World Two obviously doesn't have superhuman technology to block mental perception. Even if it did, Qin Shan has Lexington and the two little ones next to him, yet he still acts like he has a cheat code.
So in the following period, Qin Shan selected an anti-American fighter to have their family tree deleted, but the deletion was not very thorough. Moreover, a considerable number of the anti-American fighters he selected were spiritual Americans who were anti-American in words but in their hearts. In essence, he was reducing the number of agents of the American imperialists, but most ordinary people certainly did not know this. They would only see in the news, newspapers, and short videos that an anti-American fighter died today, an anti-American fighter died tomorrow, and a bunch of anti-American fighters died the day after tomorrow.
Considering the egregious misconduct of American capital, there's no doubt it's miHoYo... cough cough cough, it must be the Americans who did it!
"Investigate! Investigate! Who did this?! Only the CIA can frame others, no one can frame us!"
At CIA headquarters, Director Heinrich was furious.
Admittedly, we rob, steal, kidnap, massacre, traffic drugs, and smuggle. But just because the CIA can do the first thing doesn't mean others can do the fifteenth. We Americans hate double standards towards us, and those who prevent us from doing so. Although eliminating those who oppose the United States is our mission, we can't pin the blame on them. We must arrest and severely torture the bastard behind the scenes to find out who is behind this sabotage against the CIA.
Even if we're so dark that we have more gravitational pull than a black hole, we still have to ensure that every bit of darkness on top belongs to us. That's what makes a truly pure CIA!
The boss just gives the order, and his subordinates run themselves ragged. Anyway, the order has been given, so let's investigate.
"Chief, could they be the same group that robbed the vault?"
"If that's the case, things will be troublesome."
Heinrich is now in a real bind. The robbery of the Federal Reserve's vaults has alarmed the entire United States. Now, everyone is united (limited to the core American capitalist faction, those who benefit from the Federal Reserve) and will dig deep to find the mastermind. But as a professional, Heinrich knows very well that if the other party could so absurdly wipe out the defending US military and then silently remove all the gold from the vaults, then they could naturally also silently eliminate anyone they want to eliminate. It's not a question of whether they can or not, but whether they want to.
But things have come to this point, and even if it's just to make the American people feel that America is being protected, they have to take action. They may not know how to solve the problem, but they must write a solution. This is my last act of defiance.
On the other hand, Qin Shan's hunting operations have become increasingly sophisticated and diverse, and have now escalated to suicide plane attacks. The method is very simple: steal a private plane, fill it with explosives, and then fly it to let the target experience the shock of 9/11.
Thanks to his efforts, from Central America to South America, 38 presidents and presidential candidates, more than 10,000 members of parliament, and their families and relatives have been affected. They are basically anti-American or nominally anti-American. His methods are ruthless. The initial sniper killings now seem to be Qin Shan's last act of kindness. Now he has started to use DuPont's five-kilogram express delivery service, except that his delivery is a bit bigger, sometimes 100 kilograms. Under his violent demolition, the Brazilian presidential palace, along with more than 300 civil servants, were also slaughtered and sent to space.
The effect is quite remarkable. After these people die, regardless of whether their anti-Americanism was genuine or feigned during their lives, they are now assumed by their own people to be genuine. Otherwise, why would they be assassinated? It must be the CIA. They were using their lives to defend the interests of their motherland. We offer flowers and palms here. May you rest in peace.
In addition to attacking these individuals, Qin Shan also specifically targeted the hydroelectric systems of Third World countries in the Americas.
It's despicable because it will directly affect, and even destroy, an entire city. But it will also unite other people to resist American atrocities. In their eyes, this is the US government forcing them to submit and then continuing to oppress them and bully them. In the past, at least they pretended to be respectable, but now they are treating us like animals.
Even a clay figure has a touch of rustic charm, let alone a living person.
The widespread destruction of these infrastructures has another hidden effect: it reduces the efficiency with which the United States can exploit these countries. This is no joke. Infrastructure is the lifeblood of a country. Its stable operation ensures the stability of the country's economic system. Only under these conditions can the US truly extract something from these countries. But if all of these infrastructures are paralyzed, it's like the US is dealing with a paralyzed patient. Before it can exploit the country, it has to treat the patient, otherwise the patient will die on the spot. A country with a completely collapsed order is the kind of exploitative target that capital least wants to see. Even arms dealers are worried about whether they can make money there.
Don't be fooled by the fact that American arms dealers make a lot of money in Africa. In reality, the real bulk of purchases always come from the military procurement of their own governments. Arms dealers who actually go to Africa to engage in military trade, without any national backing, are earning hard-earned money, even blood money, the kind of money where they risk their lives to make money.
Of course, even so, he still earns more than you. And considering the awful things they've done, there's no need to sympathize with them.
With infrastructure stalled, anti-American politicians assassinated, the domestic economy stagnant, and administration in disarray, coupled with the covert efforts of various dynamic groups, the entire Americas soon burst into vibrant life, a scene of flourishing development.
Amidst this chaos, some faint sparks began to break through the shackles of the American imperialist order, igniting more tinder.
A distinctive product of Latin America, liberation theology has returned to the historical stage.
Section 40: Covert...Open-ended Operations
(Third update! Where are everyone's coins and monthly passes?)
Everyone who faces the abyss has a heart that yearns for the light, and this is especially true in the darkest places.
Thanks to the United States' unsustainable and exploitative efforts, Latin American countries have long lost hope in life. Their efforts in their own countries are meaningless because their countries have long become cages of rigid social classes. Even if they choose to leave, it is just moving from one cage to another, and each cage is hell for ordinary people.
The difference is that America is a hell where you can eat your fill, so evil spirits flock to it.
This is the truth about the American army of beauties: they just want to live a better life.
Then there's the US's daily "beacon of civilization" propaganda. We've already thoroughly exposed the true nature of the US, yet there's still a group of dogs who, upon seeing the truth, fantasize about their motherland. Not to mention the overwhelming influence of the US in the American public opinion arena and its influence throughout the Americas. It's truly the brainwashing propaganda closest to mind-body technology on Earth.
Or rather, those who choose to take the route don't really have much of a choice.
The United States exploits these countries while absorbing their human resources, and domestically uses its low human rights advantage to solve its aging problem. The United States is winning from the inside out, and it's completely smitten.
But is that really the case?
It's impossible for such shamelessness not to be hated. Moreover, if the United States wants to maintain its imperial system of exploitation in the Americas, it must ensure that this order can maintain the overall stability of the Americas. Once this stability is destroyed, the cost of exploitation will increase exponentially. Considering that US troops stationed overseas enjoy the luxury of eating millions of lambs and using hundreds of thousands of teacups, this financial hole will really be impossible to fill, even if the people of the whole world help.
Moreover, the United States in World No. 2 cannot recklessly leech off the world. The only countries they can rely on for resources are North and South America. Outside the Americas, the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union in southern Africa don't care about them. As for the poor and remote Africa, they can't possibly revive the triangular trade of hundreds of years ago. Even if they wanted to, the efficiency of human labor can't compare to that of smart factories. Besides, the African brothers aren't monkeys waiting to be slaughtered.
It's certainly possible to deal with anti-American individuals, but not all of them. Just like the significance of suicide by shooting oneself in the back lies in deterring others, not in actually eliminating everyone. If we were to follow the standard of Occupy Hill and kill all those involved, then the United States would be waiting for the Civil War.
It could also be an East-West war. In any case, this country has endless possibilities, so let's just wait and see.
Qin Shan's current actions are undermining the exploitative order that the United States has built in Latin America. On the surface, this is the United States defending its hegemony, but as one American country after another falls into turmoil, the blood vessels that the United States has built up in these countries through pro-American proxies are being strangled and pulled out. This can be seen from the fact that the US stock market was halted three times in one day after it reopened, and was even urgently suspended for technical adjustments.
But the United States, once it realizes what's happening, can't do anything about it, because Qin Shan has already left. All he needs to do now is make a move at key junctures from time to time, and the entire Americas will be in trouble, while the United States will be in a state of continuous financial loss.
This is the feeling you want.
So what is Qin Shan doing now?
He is compiling teaching materials.
Don't forget, Fairy Yunmeng promised to build a school for extraordinary individuals. Now the domestic authorities have almost finished preparations. After various parties have made their moves, or rather, after no one could compete with Lord Jing, the school for extraordinary individuals was chosen to be located in the suburbs of Beijing, where there used to be a golf course.
But for the children of the extraordinary, these sacrifices are worthwhile!
How touching, a golf course, hehehe.
Hey, doesn't the neighboring Hebei province lack water?
Just transfer them from the south, why all the nonsense? Being next to Master Jing is a blessing, so come and serve him. You'll definitely get your share of good things later. For the sake of the bigger picture, what's wrong with making a small sacrifice? This is called sparing no expense.
Under normal circumstances, Lord Jing is definitely Lord Jing, and no one else has the right to resist. However, the decision-making power is not in Lord Jing's hands now, but in Fairy Yunmeng's hands.
"The feng shui here is not good; the school cannot be located here."
In short, Master Jing immediately stopped in Bengbu. After all, this was a matter concerning superhumans. Who knew where their power came from, or if it involved feng shui? You don't understand their expertise, so don't give random advice. You'll be responsible if something goes wrong!
"Then let's change places."
"No need to look further, the entire capital and surrounding areas are not suitable."
Under Qin Shan's blatant manipulation, Jingcheng was eliminated the moment he raised his hand.
This energized the other provinces.
Oh dear, Master Jing, look at you! You've gotten so sick in just a few days! But that's nothing. We're here too. It's not that we're trying to steal the credit, but Fairy Yunmeng said you two aren't a good match. Since you're not a good match, we have to give it a try for the sake of our country and people. We're going to find Fairy Yunmeng now. Don't worry about us.
Information flows very well among high-ranking officials. Soon, many bigwigs and their families learned the cause and effect of the matter and hoped that the government could exert some influence.
This is wishful thinking. They may be out of their minds and offer random opinions, but those who can get into the top three in the ocean are definitely intelligent and have high emotional intelligence. Therefore, their attitude towards this matter remains one of full support. Wherever Fairy Yunmeng says it is suitable, then that's where the school for extraordinary individuals will be located. Even if they go abroad, the country will definitely find a way to arrange for them to get in.
Ultimately, at Qin Shan's suggestion, Saratoga, playing the role of the Fairy of Cloud Dreams, selected five school sites, taking into account the east, west, south, north, and center. However, in the overall score, the three northeastern provinces were far ahead.
It's not high either, only about 700 points higher than the second-highest hot pot restaurant.
It's on a 1000-point scale, dear.
Cheating! This is blatant cheating! The people of the mountain city will never forget this tragic day, Aminos!
Yes, the location of a school can be anywhere, so why not put it in front of your own house?
Moreover, the three northeastern provinces, with their complete industrial system, have a better prospect for development than Shanghai, which has become a blood product production area. The problems here are at most temporary, while those over there are in a terrible state.
