Chapter 290 The purpose of the war
Today's Hammer can be said to be extremely prosperous.
As Stark and Osborne companies successively withdrew from the military industry, and also swallowed up most of Osborne's military factories and related technologies, Hammer Industries replaced the two companies and completely became the number one giant in the military industry.
However, the price paid is also huge. You must know that when Osborne Company was engaged in military industry, the technology was equivalent to free of charge. All that needed money was the factory and raw materials. But selling it to Hammer was a real blow.
, for this reason, Hammer Company had to take on hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.
It is conceivable that once a problem arises, Hammer may have only one option: go to the rooftop.
Of course, for now, Hammer, who has just signed a lot of arms purchase agreements with the military and the military of several allied countries, will not care about this, especially now that there is a sudden war in four places, then the US military and its
It is impossible for the Allies not to take action, and once action is taken, it will mean a lot of money.
Under this situation, Hammer naturally felt that he had the right to look down on Stark.
As for saying that the U.S. military was defeated or something like that, it’s a joke, how is that possible?
Hammer would not think so, the military would not think so, and neither would the allies.
Fighting with aliens is because the generation gap between the two sides is too big, but fighting with the countries on earth? Humph, I’m afraid you don’t know who your father is.
As for the new robots and weapons that appeared in the four countries that started the war, although the United States is very surprised and is also tracing the source of these weapons, it does not have too much fear. After all, we have robots and infantry combat mechas.
It’s not impossible. Although the original Osborn company’s RoboCop series of products cannot fight aliens and superheroes, it can always deal with those things, right? What’s more important is that we still have Autobot allies.
Hmm... So at least before the official intervention, except for a few countries that started the war, the whole world still believed that the United States was still the powerful United States.
Thinking of this, Hammer couldn't help but pick up the conversation and shift to this sudden war.
"By the way, what do you think of the situation in this war?"
Hearing Hammer bring the topic to the war, the captain immediately frowned.
Having experienced the cruelty of World War II, it can be said that Captain America is now the most anti-war person. This is one of the important reasons why he refused to join the military after he regained consciousness.
It can be said that he did not hesitate to join the army at any cost. That was because he wanted to defend his country and eliminate corruption. For this reason, he lost friends and lovers, so he was anti-war.
However, when he woke up again, the world completely changed.
He is not stupid, but if he has a little understanding of the current world situation, he knows that the country he has contributed so far has become the root cause of the world's inability to have peace.
But the general trend is that he, a has-been soldier, has no choice but to escape.
Stark on the side also frowned. He had also seen the tragic situation of villages and towns in Africa due to biochemical viruses... That's why he had the idea of closing the weapons department. After all, biochemical weapons are only weapons.
The only person who doesn't care about the war is probably the instigator, Chris.
But although Chris didn't care about the war, he did care about the scale and impact of the war.
The reason why he started this war was not to unify the earth. It was not that it was impossible, but the consequences were not what he wanted.
Because if you really use force to unify the earth, it is equivalent to putting the focus of all conflicts on yourself. Human beings are most likely to focus on how to resist their own rule, rather than how to get out of the earth and improve human beings in the world.
status in the universe, this is of no benefit to Chris at all.
After all, if Chris just wants to dominate the universe, he can just slowly accumulate strength, wait for the Zerg heroes to be summoned, and develop the Zerg clan. Why waste time on the earth?
Therefore, the purpose of Chris's war is not to unify the earth, because such unification is meaningless, so his purpose is actually to change the pattern of the world.
In his opinion, the chaos in the Middle East is, in the final analysis, the fault of Western countries such as Britain and the United States. It is not just the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and South America... Those established powers do not want any new countries and forces to come.
Compete with them for the few resources and interests on earth.
And it is precisely because of the lack of strong competitors that the established powers can rest on their laurels.
The most obvious point is that since the end of the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, except for a few emerging countries, the aerospace technology of various countries has been stagnant and development has slowed down.
In addition, although people feel that information technology is constantly developing and changing with each passing day, in fact, most of the so-called new technologies today still come from the basic theories proposed during the technological explosion 40 or 50 years ago.
So in fact, human technology has already entered a period of stagnation.
More and more funds and resources are being used for various entertainment and material enjoyment instead of real technological innovation. The innovative spirit and path of young people are blocked, and they have become "new century slaves" in the hands of capital giants.
”, working hard all his life for a meager salary.
What do you want to do when you grow up?
Become a star! Become a boss! Become a politician! Because these people are the biggest beneficiaries of today's social structure.
As for scientists? What are they?
Everything depends on money. This is a social problem faced by all established powerful countries. However, they do not think about changing this by accelerating investment in technology. Instead, they choose to use exploitation to suppress weak countries and exploit the resources of these weak countries.
, to support their fallen citizens, because the cost of doing so is much lower.
Under this situation, even if Chris contributes advanced technology, the result will be that these established powers will work together and divide most of the benefits, leaving nothing behind.
Then, in order to maintain their own interests and advantages, they continued to hide those technologies and deliberately created technological gaps to hinder the rapid development of mankind.
This is obviously not what Chris needs.
What Chris needs is a human civilization that is sufficiently competitive and enterprising.
And if you want to do this, you must first stop the meaningless disputes on the earth, support more powerful new forces, and stimulate the old forces to regain their strength. And the fastest way is war.
.
And Chris does not want this war to be a long-term tug-of-war and war of attrition like World War I and World War II.
Excessive population consumption is very detrimental to a civilization that is about to leave the earth.
So Chris created Talon and Overwatch respectively.
Black Claw's mission is to support countries with potential, such as Israel. This country is full of a sense of urgency from top to bottom, has a very high level of education per capita, has strong cohesion, and provides them with overwhelming force so that they can quickly
Control the captured territory, suppress any resistance, and be fearless of counterattacks by established forces.
In this way, those established forces have become pursuers and resisters.
But Chris could predict that these new forces would not be satisfied with their absolute strength. At this time, Overwatch, which has more overwhelming force than these countries, would appear.
In this way, through the light and dark of Black Claw and Overwatch, the conflict on the entire earth can be suppressed within a controllable range.
Of course, doing this is, to a certain extent, tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, you may lose it... After all, whether it is Black Claw or Overwatch, they are all people, but they are people.
There will be times when mistakes are made.
Once one party makes a mistake, the result may be that the entire earth is completely in chaos.
But Chris doesn't care, because if that happens, then Chris doesn't mind using another, more cruel method.
Chapter completed!
