To the people of this world, such a thing was simply unheard of. A nation belonging to the Star Vein Generation? They had never even considered it. If such a country truly emerged...

However, Fang Zheng had never intended to seek their support.
As the saying went, those not of our kind were bound to harbor different intentions. The Star Vein Generation had been discriminated against for so long, and aside from the various measures the Integration Enterprise Conglomerate had taken to control them, society's own entrenched prejudice against the Star Vein Generation had also helped fuel it.
Of course, under Fang Zheng's manipulation, public opinion had pinned the blame on the Integration Enterprise Conglomerate. But did that mean everyone else bore no responsibility at all?
Just like now, the public's support and inaction were among the reasons the Integration Enterprise Conglomerate had been able to act with impunity. Could the Star Vein Generation now just commit genocide against all ordinary people?
Of course not.
Basically, in Fang Zheng's view, this was where so many idiot bosses in games, anime, and novels went wrong.

If those bosses had only gone after the people
