Although this is actually a joke that discredits the YS Society, it also indirectly proves that their style is indeed quite flexible and eccentric. Of course, this will be very unwelcome in the church where conservatives dominate the mainstream. There have been more than 260 popes, and there are almost no popes who came from the YS Society.

But Jorge happened to be from the YS Club, and many of his innovations were enough to make conservatives furious just by talking about them in public, let alone implement them.

It is obvious that Jorge’s borrowing is the concept that Jie Fang Theology once practiced. However, because the basic base in Europe and the United States today generally accepts ZB education, he dare not and cannot do it too obviously.

However, although these seem to be very popular, in fact we cannot directly call him mks Pope as in the explosive theory, because there are principled issues about which ideology is dominant here.

Whether it is Jorge or the former Latin American school of thought, theology is the main focus and other ideas are supplementary. It is still the typical approach in the religious field to use the authority of new ideas to strengthen one’s own authority, and it still serves theology.

However, compared with other sects, their level of progress is something that conservatives who have spent their entire lives studying scriptures cannot achieve even after studying for thousands of years.

In other words, he has great value for cooperation and assimilation. A subordinate who can understand and does not rebel is definitely less troublesome to use than a subordinate who still needs persuasion to change his mind.

There is no need for Taya to continue to care about other aspects. Jorge’s public appearance alone is enough to cause a world-class sensation and help reduce some attention on America.

America doesn’t need so much attention right now. Being put under the world’s spotlight is not a good thing for either the alliance or America.

There is no need to explain why America doesn’t want the footage. Although the Zerg still hasn’t broken through the naval base and military port, their attacks in other directions have not been hindered. At the beginning, the entire Washington State had turned completely black and turned into an uninhabited area.

The two nearest states, Oregon and Idaho, have lost nearly two-thirds of their area due to the nearly endless and constant onslaught of the insect swarm.

Under the leadership of Sleepy Joe’s eight-times-a-day appeal, trucks from all over America near the five continents were frantically transporting groups of victims fleeing the state.

There was no other way. After this period of research, they had roughly figured out the operating mechanism of the insect swarm. If they really dared to ignore this group of people and let them fend for themselves, in a few days these abandoned people would turn into some kind of insects and pounce on their faces.

That’s not just one or two, but a base number of hundreds of thousands or millions. Who can withstand it?

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the regular army was almost gone when they went to the battlefield. When an LGBT mixed division went up, they were shattered at the first touch. Except for the loud voice when they were arguing with the host about their gender, their combat ability and will were extremely poor.

They are not even as combat-effective as the National Guard composed of retired veterans and civilian volunteers. They are truly a disgrace to the international community, just like a bunch of people working in circles.

The Alliance, on the other hand, brought together a large number of scholars from various fields to coordinate the data on America brought back by the agents, conduct a rough accounting and analysis of its assets, and make a final determination on the Alliance’s next offensive focus.

At the same time, it is also buying time for the local army to replace its equipment with new equipment. Every day of delay will allow one unit to complete the equipment replacement and conduct adaptive training.

Although the two sides have not yet engaged in a head-on confrontation, the war has actually begun. A large number of America’s more expensive missiles and precision bombs have been wasted on the worthless Zerg swarms. The extremely high prices are so high that even the United States itself cannot afford them, and they are being thrown away like cabbages.

Under the strong pressure from the White House and the Capitol Hill, their military industrial focus has also increased production and expanded in a more practical direction. Cheaper weapons and ammunition such as fuel-air bombs and conventional artillery shells have begun to occupy the main force of firepower output on the battlefield.

The large-scale production plan of the new fighter F-35 was canceled, all orders were postponed, and resources were redistributed.

Tracked armored vehicles represented by the M2 are also desperately expanding their production capacity, and the resumption of production of the M1A2 main battle tank has also been given the highest priority. The technical data is jointly analyzed by various companies, and production will be started together after the resumption of production is completed.

However, although the military-industrial complex agreed to the government’s requirements, it is still procrastinating in private. Instead, the missile production line is running at full speed, producing desperately to lower the price so that the congressmen can purchase emergency supplies.

The Alliance, on the other hand, has been rapidly and methodically expanding its production capacity. While the entire army is updating its equipment, more remote states have also started on-site production and storage in military factories in order to accumulate weapons inventory for a possible protracted war in the future.

At the same time, they also train new recruits and veterans as a reserve force supplementary resource.

Wars are fought with logistics and mobilization capabilities. Both sides are leaning towards a wartime economy. The only difference is that one is still advancing slowly, while the other has completed initial preparations and the progress bar is starting to speed up.

The instructions for the Zerg have also been updated. The previous single DNA hatching method of the Zerg has been cancelled and replaced by a highly mutant that carries a large amount of genetic information.

The containment mission of the Washington Naval Base has basically been completed, and the subsequent Zerg tide will launch a general attack to occupy it. The genetic modification is also a preparation for the possible nuclear strike that may come later.

Perhaps a nuclear explosion could destroy all carbon-based life on the surface that it could reach, but the nuclear radiation-contaminated area left behind might not necessarily be the largest incubation pool for new Zerg recruits.

In a sense, nuclear radiation, which causes profound genetic destruction and pollution, is also the fuse for the Zerg’s crazy genetic mutation, iterative optimization.

Chapter 495 National Capacity

In fact, the Alliance does not regard America as its biggest rival, although it still has the top combat power level, the largest talent base, and the most advanced technology on the planet.

But his small governmentism doomed him to fail in accomplishing great things, especially at a time when the military, economic and imperial power were triple hollowed out, and he could not even carry out the most basic mobilization for a total war.

What’s more, the industry has become hollowed out. One of the few industrial manufacturing centers was destroyed by the insect tide. One of the pillar industries in Washington State is the Boeing aircraft manufacturing plant.

The confrontation between the Zerg and America in Washington State is already the strongest strength that the American military can currently exert.

The two aircraft carrier battle groups and four elite divisions suffered a total loss of 42%. Now they are still fighting stubbornly and maintaining a high-intensity defensive counterattack, which is already quite good.

As for the other so-called ordinary army regulars who came to support, they could basically not make any waves in the face of the insect swarm. On the contrary, the actual combat capability of the National Guard was much stronger than that of the ordinary regular army.

Although the Alliance’s current means and practices are somewhat despicable, after all, it is using the Zerg’s wanton slaughter to take the blame and serve as a new target, allowing the Alliance to appear with a perfect image. If we use a human analogy, this would be a typical Yue Buqun.

But it does not mean that the alliance can only afford such means. It is just because doing so can maximize benefits and save time and effort. People are people, countries are countries, and they cannot be put together for moral judgment.

If you had a choice, you would want to deal with an America that focuses all conflicts on you and completes the centralization of military power.

Or should we deal with a loose union of hundreds of men and women with a large and poorly educated population and more than fifty states with different ideas?

The answer is self-evident

No matter how strong the Zerg are, they are still beasts after all, and they only slaughter the lower classes. It is difficult to arouse the vigilance of the American ruling group. To a certain extent, Medea is even sure that they are happy to see many destructive actions against the Zerg.

They had already started taking action when Washington State was in dire straits. When the American regular army supported the states surrounding Washington, they also brought a large number of homeless people from all over the country and poor people whose hometowns could not be determined.

These so-called social dregs who only know how to eat and wait for death were once a burden to America. Now they have a helper to help them carry out centralized destruction and reduce the burden.

If the enemy were intelligent beings, they would never do such a thing as “aiding the enemy”.

In fact, according to the ideas of the Alliance radicals, after conducting a comprehensive survey of America, more than 65% of the population of the Alliance radicals are also inclined to give it to the Zerg as food.

Because for a group of garbage, they can only pollute wherever they are, and cannot create any benefits. Instead, they are full of burdens.

Of course, the two countries have different definitions of trash. In America’s eyes, those who cannot vote are trash, while in the eyes of the alliance, those groups who like to vote the most are the real trash.

However, as Taiya’s actions had achieved initial results without much trouble, many staff members became more active and the topic of discussion became a little off topic:

[Can we continue to use similar means to replace USA with USS (Seres) through an invisible, bloodless, or controlled war? ]

This topic may seem a bit abstract and groundless, but it is actually a weakness revealed by the information they have gathered.

After some investigation, they also became quite familiar with USA.

Whether it is USA (The United States of America) or USS (The United States of Seres), it looks like United + States and the suffix America or something, which means it is a federation.

At first glance, they all look very similar, but in fact, the routes are just converging but not identical. What is similar is that the way of controlling the world is still based on the core of nuclear peace, but what is different is that the operating mechanisms between national systems are different.

Many people are not clear about the meaning of America’s small government. Simply put, the imperial power does not extend below the state level. If you put aside the illusion of the federal government, you will find that each state is actually a separate small country with its own armed organizations, independent laws, and a high degree of autonomy.

But this is not the case with the Alliance. Regardless of whether Veronica comes to power and centralizes power, as long as there is a nominal queen, the Alliance itself will still be a large government.

How do we know whether a country has a big government? The answer is to look at the country’s capacity.

National capacity, including four comprehensive indexes of fiscal absorption capacity, national regulatory capacity, legalization capacity and enforcement capacity, is collectively referred to as national comprehensive capacity.

Of these four points, the American authorities basically only have the ability to extract financial resources for one, but not for the other three, because the other three are in fundamental conflict with America’s founding ideas.

To give a simple example, although there is a stable and low-cost supply of oil and natural gas from Surya, the alliance’s own subcontinent has actually not developed a high level of fossil energy.

At the beginning, because there were too many enemy countries and they needed to increase their military presence, there was a peak period of large-scale mining. The share of fossil energy in the fiscal revenue of each state was not low.

After world peace, countries gradually completed post-war reconstruction and began to fulfill the various regulations they promised during the aid construction. For example, the development rights of various high-quality underground resources were transferred to local enterprises in the alliance, and a large amount of cheap and high-quality resources poured into the alliance.

While the public was enjoying cheap resources, local energy development companies in each state suffered a devastating blow.

In a normal market economy, when supply exceeds demand, the value of resources will naturally fall. When the first wave of resources was washed away, the unit price of fossil energy in the alliance was even cheaper than water resources.

This situation is not limited to the energy industry. Other local mineral resource industries have also been hit to varying degrees and have gone bankrupt in large numbers.

At this time, if we follow America’s national operating logic, these companies have only two options: either reorganize and merge into a giant company to invade similar resources in other countries, or turn themselves into the largest seller behind a certain material bulk transaction to manipulate international market prices.

Either the fittest will survive and go bankrupt, but no matter which path is chosen, domestic mineral and energy development will suffer a severe blow, with industrial hollowing out and asset transfer. The former can just open factories wherever costs are cheap, while the latter has already gone bankrupt, so naturally there will be no further news.

No matter which of these two paths is taken, it is not a good thing for the country. Not only will an industry be lost, but a large number of jobs will be lost. This is also the fundamental reason why America’s shale oil and gas reserves are obviously not low, but there is still not much production.

The talk of protecting natural assets and passing them on to future generations is pure bullshit. The bottom line is that there is no money to be made, and if there is no money to be made, naturally no one will do it.

But the alliance did not do so. Even though a large amount of cheap foreign resources occupied the mainstream market, it did not give up on similar companies in various states. Instead, it actively adopted an ultra-long-term subsidy merger plan of two rounds of ten years each and four phases of twenty years in total.

First, integrate the small companies with insufficient funds into a large-scale integrated energy group at the state level, and maintain the survival of each other through triangular point-to-point subsidies from the center to local areas and from local areas to enterprises through national-level orders.

Normal mining and sales to update equipment and technology, the losses are paid by the state. The state is forced to use finances to keep them alive to ensure the integrity of enterprises and industrial chains in various states.

Many people may think that such an operation is a bit redundant, and according to the principles of free economy, it is completely contrary to zbzy’s expansion cycle.

According to America’s theory, these “money-losing” companies should disappear, and those without economic benefits should be eliminated. Wouldn’t it be better to just act as compradors and make money with tears in anger?

So why do we still do this? This is the so-called macro-control capability.

According to the principle of hypothesis

What if one day, friendly Surya has a conflict with the alliance and raises the price of energy? Or what if other countries with abundant underground resources unite to hoard certain bulk commodities and maliciously raise the price?

What if one day an unexpected force majeure factor occurs in a transportation pipeline, a port, or even a certain sea area?

What if one day the alliance is isolated by the whole world and cannot receive any external resources?

So whether it can be used is one thing, but whether it exists is another.

In fact, precisely because these industries of the alliance are still there, the hot money forces united by the bulk products formed in the international market have to be cautious and dare not maliciously raise prices to manipulate resource prices, because the alliance can replace them at any time. This is the confidence of the sword in the sheath.

They also forgot one thing: what is money? It is the external manifestation of a country’s credit. If you say it is important, it is indeed important, but if you say it is not important, it is just a basket of waste paper, which is not even suitable for wiping one’s butt.

Are enterprises that are eliminated by the market necessarily inefficient? Are they necessarily worthless?

This is not necessarily the case. In fact, many companies are eliminated before they have reached the conditions to realize their self-value.

The jobs represented by enterprises continuously generate blood for a region. With jobs there are wages, and with wages there is consumption. Even if an enterprise is loss-making, as long as it can pay wages normally, the money will eventually circulate in the local market and nourish the continued existence of other industries.

It is their business to make money outside. No matter how much money they make, they will not spend it here. The disappearance of an industry will lead to the demise of all industrial and economic activities that depend on it.

By keeping the most basic industrial capacity from declining, the material world will benefit tangibly, rather than having thousands or even trillions of waste paper spinning around the world, doing nothing but creating more waste paper.

For a healthy country, what matters is never the economic strength on one hand, and the economy is not the only metric. What matters is what is behind your economic and social stability that serves as the ballast to safeguard your stability.

But maintaining these requires a strong hand, relying on the long-term planning and coordination of the big government and the execution capabilities of local governments.

Such an enterprise cannot exist in America because the production of these strategic resources is not something that only considers economic benefits.

Without economic benefits, it would be difficult for America to pass subsidy bills to support its continued existence. It takes a very strong network of relationships to push a bill through during the other party’s four-year term.

Even if the bill is approved, that is only the beginning. Even if the bill is approved, the money may not be in place. What was promised to you today was yesterday’s thing. What does it have to do with today?

When two factions are running for election, what does the signature of the previous leader of the other faction have to do with that of our faction?

Therefore, corporate giants in such fields basically operate in a monopolistic manner. They have swallowed up the world through the strength of their former country and evolved into a huge network of power that can influence the country.

By the time you really need those disappeared businesses and workers, everything is already irreversible. This is America’s biggest weakness.

To illustrate the big picture, such examples are common in all walks of life in America. The combined effects have led to the fact that America is now completely deindustrialized.

The fundamental reason why many people admire Roosevelt is that he broke through the flaws in America’s own system and maintained policy consistency for a short but crucial twelve years.

However, the resistance Roosevelt faced during his first term was unprecedented from all sides, both internally and externally, and from top, middle and bottom levels. Many people did not see the difficulties he faced at the time.
