Master Huang Wants to Counterattack the Warp
Okay, now I have a lot of smells on me again.
After finishing his work at home, Master Huang lay on the soft sofa in his bathrobe, mentally reviewing his work logs from the past few days.
After some thought, they decided to change their operational strategy towards Columbia and take the initiative.
We can't let that blue bird really cheer up; we can't underestimate anyone.
What should we do?
Huang Cao's mind is constantly working out a plan, trying to find a way to conquer Columbia without sacrificing too many lives.
Finally, after much deliberation, he came up with a brilliant plan.
By creating external conflicts, we can ignite internal conflicts and attract large numbers of people from the north to flee to my territory.
Rich people are all afraid of dying.
If the Utopian army were to simply patrol the border between the two sides, these people would surely think they were about to be wiped out.
In order to resist, the Northern Columbia Capital Group will certainly relentlessly pressure the President to expand military production capacity in order to save his own life.
But you have to be alive, and you also have to enjoy life.
Not everyone dares to collect more than 90% of taxes, especially since most of Columbia's resources remain in the south.
Expanding the military will inevitably create a military-industrial complex that extracts vast amounts of resources for self-defense, and these resources can only come from the exploitation of ordinary people.
Huang Cao wanted this effect; he needed to get most of the Columbia population to the south so that casualties could be minimized when the fighting started.
That's right, he decided to use force against Columbia, regardless of the potential for post-war destruction.
The reason we were so particular about other countries in the past was simply because if a war really broke out and the country was devastated, there would be nowhere to resettle a large number of people.
But now the south of Columbia has been completely brought under the control of Utopia, and the population that migrated from the north to the south has a large amount of land and infrastructure available for resettlement.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if the North is crippled, as long as the people are still alive, everything can be made up for.
As for whether the capitalists in the north will restrict the movement of people?
The essence of Huang Cao's plan lies in this, because it makes it more advantageous for the propaganda offensive of Southern Utopia.
You're exploiting me, can't I at least run away?
Keep in mind that Columbia is less than fifty years old.
Moreover, the country was founded out of thin air, with virtually no national identity or culture, so the people living on this land can be described as naturally free.
You dare restrict my freedom? Believe me, I'll rebel on the spot!
Local rebellions are terrifying because they mean the paralysis of production.
The elite troops of Huang Cao could take this opportunity to launch a blitzkrieg against the Columbia high command, secretly carry out a major reshuffle, and still accomplish their strategic mission.
Northern Columbia needs to exploit its people to generate the motivation for war, while the utopian Columbia in the south has a huge international market to support it, so it doesn't need to exploit its own people at all, since resources are plentiful.
Having a large scale means you can do whatever you want.
To save their own lives, the capitalist groups in northern Columbia either exploited and forced local Columbia to migrate to the southern utopia.
Once the person leaves, the capitalists, without anyone to protect them, are naturally unable to safeguard their own safety.
But if these people are forced not to leave, they might actually rebel if pushed to the limit, and the Utopian army could seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
However, this is not insurmountable; the solution is that the capital groups must relinquish the vast majority of their profits.
But how could half a country's resources possibly outlast Utopia?
As for promoting nationalism domestically and blaming utopia for all the problems with living conditions.
The Columbia replied, "Brother, wouldn't you like to see where we came from?"
We are all immigrants!
If we're not even willing to stay in our own country, how can we be expected to be staunch defenders of Columbia?
It might take one or two hundred years to build up national consciousness, but let's forget about it if it takes less than fifty years.
"That's settled then. Issue the order: the Utopia Eighth and Ninth Armies stationed in southern Columbia, move all their High-speed Battleship to the border. The rest remain where they are and await further instructions."
Huang Cao realized that he was really not suited for scheming; indeed, powerful nations always played the game of open strategy.
If you can't be better than me, then destroy me completely!
Sure enough, as soon as the Utopia fleet arrived at the front lines, the Columbia capitalists panicked within a week.
The president of Northern Columbia was also unclear about Utopia's strategic intentions, so he began a frenzied expansion of the military at the behest of his subordinates.
This caused the economy in the north, which had just begun to recover, to suddenly plummet, with prices soaring twofold within a month.
It turned out that it was all bark and no bite before it was discovered that it was all bark and no bite.
President Blue Bird soon realized this was a Utopian conspiracy and was just about to restore normal economic Order when his subordinate capital groups suppressed him.
"How do you know this is a utopian conspiracy? Are you in cahoots with that guy to harm us?"
The representative of the capital conglomerate stated this.
Upon hearing this, President Blue Bird immediately lost his composure.
Since this is indeed just speculation, it cannot provide any substantial evidence or intelligence sources.
Seeing the High-speed Battleship swaying precariously in front of their own doorstep, the capitalists, fearing for their lives, pressured their superiors to protect their safety, or they would stop funding the construction.
President Blue Bird had no choice but to agree to the demands of these cowardly people, otherwise his presidency would be in jeopardy.
Six months later, Huang Cao's plan, with the cooperation of the enemy's "friendly forces," yielded great results.
Large numbers of people began to migrate to the lands under the jurisdiction of the southern utopia, and Huang Cao naturally accepted them all, designating a special area for them.
Seeing the massive population loss, the wealthy tycoons of northern Columbia couldn't sit still any longer. They stopped pretending and quickly enacted laws to prohibit the free movement of people, as if they had returned to a feudal society.
This further fueled the Columbia's rebellious spirit, and they had no long-term plans.
This can only be described as correct: Columbia capitalists are utterly unscrupulous, refusing to relinquish even a fraction of their profits, and wage increases are completely outpaced by inflation.
Unfortunately, under President Blue Bird's control, Columbia tycoons were finally willing to relinquish their interests, but this was ultimately just a drop in the ocean.
Because this is a completely makeshift organization, without a thorough reform of the system, it is slowly dying.
It's hard to imagine that anyone on Terra's land would actually want to wage a protracted war against Utopia.
Moreover, the biggest problem at present is the economic situation in northern Columbia. The wealthy tycoons are still in a state of giving but not fully wanting to give.
President Blue Bird's new law aims to raise wages, but when it comes to actual payday, most capitalists simply carry over the promised wages to the next month and increase the workload for workers in the current month.
This behavior is what's known as making empty promises.
Chapter 514: Master Huang Wants to Counterattack Subspace
"The collapse of Columbia is about to accelerate!"
Huang Cao's years of frantic efforts to build a utopia have finally paid off today.
In terms of sheer size, no country on Terra can compare to Utopia.
I work so hard to become the King of Terra, and eating roasted millionaire food every day is truly a treat!
Columbia... There aren't that many opportunities in this world, and you can't become a world hegemon by relying on one or two wars.
The true world overlord is none other than Master Huang!
Barring unforeseen circumstances, under their own high-pressure measures...
Columbia capital is likely to flow out in large quantities and flee to other countries.
But everyone in this world knows about transportation; only in utopian places are there no Catastrophe, and how far can their caravans travel?
When the Shi Huaiya Family left Victoria without any threat, they didn't take much wealth with them.
As for international remittances, Utopia Bank is currently the only bank with international remittance capabilities. Do you think they might be unable to withdraw the funds in a critical situation?
As for bank credit?
Huang Cao only guarantees the interests of the lower classes in withdrawing and depositing money. He is the biggest power holder in Utopia, holding both economic and military power.
Therefore, there are no capitalists in Utopia at all. Because of the abundance of material goods and the extremely high overall welfare benefits, as long as you are not particularly lazy, you can basically eat and drink well. The high consumption of life is nothing more than a few things: clothing, food, housing, transportation, and medical care.
Utopia offers completely free healthcare and an abundance of food.
Housing prices in the capital are indeed more expensive than in other places, but if you work the minimum wage for ten years, an average person can still afford to buy a house.
The main population living in the capital is civil servants. In order to facilitate the work of their compatriots, a utopia with extremely Equilibrium distribution of national resources has been created through artificial intervention.
Therefore, most Utopians do not intend to crowd into the capital; this is an art called contribution, hence the capital is crowded, but not too crowded.
Moreover, housing prices are personally regulated by Master Huang.
Huang Cao: A house must be inhabited!
Therefore, Utopia Bank doesn't actually make money from these capitalists, but everyone has to use it because the bank's reach continues to grow as its military influence expands.
Apart from Master Huang, it would be impossible for any other country's rulers to establish a complete transnational financial organization, because he has already monopolized this ecosystem.
To this day, financial relations between countries remain isolated, and Columbia's Great Depression did not affect any other country besides itself.
By leveraging isolated islands around the world, Utopia Bank can gradually dismantle them one by one.
By the time some people realize this in the future, there will only be a few countries left.
Or perhaps there simply weren't many countries left to begin with.
" With Columbia resolved, it's time to deal with Sami's problem. By the way, why hasn't the reclusive Witch King replied yet?"
Huang Cao took some time to visit the subspace, bringing with him some local delicacies.
"Old Deng, are you still alive? If you are, take a breath."
Huang Cao kicked open the palace gate, startling the Witch King who was pruning branches.
"As the person in charge of the country, I think you should be more composed."
The old Witch King patted his chest and gave a certain fellow a very resentful look.
I almost had a heart attack just now!
Would you like a beer?
Huang Cao handed the ice-cold beer in his arms to the Witch King, who initially wanted to refuse, but the aroma of wheat kept appearing in his mind.
I've been here for so many years, doing nothing but research every day, and I don't even need to eat.
Thank you.
The Witch King, who had regained his physical form, and Master Huang sat on the ground.
The two looked at the now-grown Abundance Seed, eating kebabs and drinking beer.
"How's it going?" Huang Cao asked.
"The creation you provided exhibits astonishing warp adaptability. Warp pollution cannot even alter its physiological state. The surrounding mist is practically equivalent to the sun to it. I can sense that this tree seems to be purifying this area."
The Witch King was very clever. Having been in the Warp for so many years, how could he not have noticed the changes after personally planting the Seed?
Without Seed, he could barely maintain the size of the palace, just in order to avoid being engulfed by the spatial torrent and lost outside of Terra.
But now I don't even need to use Originium Arts.
"At this rate, I will soon be able to capture the essence of this space and make it completely tangible."
The Witch King was actually quite frustrated. He had painstakingly researched something for decades, only to have it cracked by a single Seed.
"This Seed will bear fruit in a while. I guess you want to take these Seed that grow in the warp out and make them into weapons specifically for attacking Demons."
"That's right."
Huang Cao had no intention of hiding his true purpose. If there was anything in this world that made the Abundance Warrior feel troubled, it was definitely the warp.
Even the most Abundance Warrior can be defeated by powerful Demons, and due to their unique nature, most of the time only melee combat can effectively damage them.
Although Huang Cao's soldiers have a self-destruct mechanism and can be resurrected from Originium, their efficiency in clearing areas is still somewhat low, and it's only a temporary solution.
If the existence of Demons becomes known to many people, and their combat power increases, who knows what the expansion curve will look like?
Huang Cao cannot afford to expend a great deal of energy preparing for a military contest with the Demons, so it must take a one-time effort to cultivate Abundance breed specializing in Demons attacks.
Abundance Plants that survive in subspace can completely replicate their gene sequences after altering the properties of the subspace, allowing for the mass production of Huang Cao.
