Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1517
Chapter 1517: Domino
Meng Chao put a piece of the monster meat in oil into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed slowly while he listened to Ai Lei’s analysis.
Ai Lei told Meng Chao that the National Training Act itself was not the key. The key was to ensure the enforcement of the National Training Act. It was only natural that a series of supporting plans would be introduced.
For example, some members of parliament had thrown out the Crystal Act, believing that a Crystal Management Committee should be formed by superhumans and ordinary people to control all the large crystal ore veins around Dragon City. In the future, all the large crystal ore veins would also be developed by the Dragon City civilization.
After all, crystal ore was a strategic resource that was related to the Dragon City civilization’s survival. A large crystal ore mine with an annual output of a certain scale could never be reduced to the private property of a peerless expert.
Plus, most of the crystal ore itself was highly radioactive and harmful to ordinary people.
Ordinary people would supervise the mining, refining, and use of the crystals so that the problem of self-theft could be avoided to the greatest extent.
Some members of Parliament also proposed to implement a more transparent cultivation progress declaration, as well as an examination and inspection system for superhumans throughout the city. They wanted all citizens to know how many crystals each superhuman consumed on a daily basis. They all knew how much combat power these crystals had been converted into and how much they had contributed to the Dragon City civilization.
For those superhumans who were morally corrupt, broke the law, broke the oath, and broke the bottom line, ordinary citizens had the right to vote to deprive him of the right to purchase cultivation resources through any channel within a certain period of time, they would also be prohibited from registering to use any cultivation equipment or virtual space. In other words, they would be deprived of their “Right to cultivate.”.
The reasons of these members were also very good.
If it were a normal society, a few people would have rocket launchers, howitzers, main battle tanks, and even tactical nuclear weapons that were activated at any time.
Could it be that they could secretly hide these weapons, not letting the public know how much ammunition they had, and how well they maintained these weapons?
Since the combat strength of an extraordinaire could easily surpass a battle tank.
Then, wasn’t it natural to manage extraordinaires like managing battle tanks?
And the controller of battle tanks and even tactical nuclear weapons was actually a morally depraved scumbag and lawless lunatic. The damage he could cause to normal society was simply unimaginable.
Before he completely lost control, taking away the main tanks and tactical nuclear weapons from such a scumbag and lunatic was a responsibility to everyone and the entire civilization!
There were also some senators who suggested that extraordinary individuals possessed physical and intelligence that far surpassed that of ordinary people. By using extraordinary powers, they could carry out “Dimension-reducing strikes”in many industries and were suspected of unfair competition.
Therefore, the power of extraordinary people to enter certain industries had to be limited.
If extraordinary people really wanted to engage in certain industries, they had to engage in a lot of community service and educational support every year.
The simplest way was to go to a martial arts training camp or a primary and secondary school located in a civilian community and become a teacher.
Moreover, in order to avoid the situation of not working hard, the qualification of extraordinary people to enter the industry, as well as the tax rate of the enterprises under their name, should be linked to the combat strength of the students.
Only by helping the Longcheng civilization to find more potential rookies, especially the rookies from poor backgrounds, who had seized the first-mover advantage of the older generation of extraordinary people, could they be allowed to enter certain industries and enjoy preferential tax rates.
If these bills were just a bone-breaking injury.
Then, the proposal to split up the nine Super Enterprises was undoubtedly a drastic measure.
Even Meng Chao’s chopsticks hung in the air for a few seconds when he heard this.
“Split up the nine Super Companies?”
Meng Chao seemed to be mumbling to himself, “Is it possible?”
“It does sound incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it’s not completely impossible.”
Ai lei said, “You have to know that the nine super companies and the nine cultivation families can not be completely equated.
“In the nine great super corporations, other than the major shareholders led by the nine great cultivation families, there are also many small and medium shareholders.
“For the small and medium shareholders, it’s easy to enjoy the shade of a big tree. If they can rely on the prestige and strength of the god-level experts to easily earn a large amount of profits, they will naturally enjoy the fruits of their labor.
“However, as the power of the god-level experts and the cultivation families continues to expand, the voice of the major shareholders in the nine great super corporations is becoming more and more important. The interests of the small and medium shareholders are being squeezed and even damaged. At this time, it’s better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the Phoenix. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for the development of the small and medium shareholders.
“Also, even the nine great cultivation families are not united.
“Senior, with your experience, you should know that the internal situation of the so-called ‘nine great cultivation families’is very complicated. Many important figures in the nine super corporations are not the flesh and blood of deities, right?”
Meng Chao nodded thoughtfully.
“The status of these important figures is actually neither high nor low. It’s very awkward.”
Ai lei said, “No matter how strong they are or how outstanding they are, they are still not related by blood to the godly state experts who are the heads of the families. It’s impossible for them to inherit the family businesses.
“When the godly state experts were still alive, they had nurtured each other and had a family relationship that lasted for dozens of years.
“Once the godly state experts fell one after another, the flesh and blood of the godly state experts would rise to the top. These flesh and blood would need a lot of cultivation resources to become a new generation of godly state experts and even break through to the peak of the godly state. Who Do you think these flesh and blood experts would target?
“For these people, breaking up the nine super enterprises might not necessarily be a bad thing. Who knows, it might even lead to a bright future!
“And the starting point of all these laws is the national practice law.
“Once the national practice law is approved and implemented, it will be like pushing down the first domino. The future of Dragon City will be completely changed
“I see.”
Meng Chao said, “It seems that the Azure Alliance has found many allies and is ready for action.
“Whether it was the attack and explosion at the Red Creek Creek project last night or today’s incident, they are just the fuse.
“Even without these two things, the Azure Alliance will sooner or later explode with unstoppable power!”
“Yes, the Azure Alliance is in the right. The nine super companies definitely won’t be able to oppose the National Training Act from the front.”
Ai lei continued, “However, the peerless experts and super companies have ruled Dragon City for so many years. Of course, they also have a large number of hardcore supporters. They will definitely not give in easily.
“They can not oppose the National Training Act from the front.
“So, they thought of a roundabout strategy. They threw out the north advancement plan to compete with the National Training Act.
“According to them, the nine super enterprises are very supportive of the approval and implementation of the ‘National Practice Law’.
“However, the reality is that a new enemy has appeared in the north of Dragon City Civilization — the Beast clan.
“Let others sleep on the side of the bed. For the long-term peace and stability of Dragon City, we must concentrate all our efforts to eliminate the threat of the Beast clan.
“The Great War is coming. It is obviously not the right time to carry out a bone-breaking reform on Dragon City.
“Just like how no boxer will perform a surgery before he enters the ring — even if this surgery is necessary.
“Therefore, the members of Parliament with a super corporate background suggested that the ‘North Advancement Plan’should be implemented first. When the Dragon City civilization has completely conquered the entire Tiger Fury River valley and solved the safety problem, they will also have more adequate resources and buffer space. At that time, the full implementation of the ‘National Training Act’will be a natural thing.”
“It doesn’t sound unreasonable.”
Meng Chao said, “However, just like the ‘National Training Act’is the first Domino, the ‘North Advancement Plan’certainly won’t be as simple as it seems.”
“Of course it won’t be simple.”
Ai lei said, “The members who support the ‘North Advancement Plan’have proposed that Dragon City has just ended the monster war that has lasted for decades and is now in a period of rebuilding, so it will be difficult to bear the expenses needed for a large-scale war.
“Therefore, the ‘North March Plan’will be dominated by super enterprises.
“If everything goes well, the ‘North March plan’does not need to mobilize a single soldier of the Red Dragon Army nor waste too much of the military budget of the Survival Committee. On the contrary, under the leadership of the peerless experts, the Super Enterprises and the corporate legions can also plunder endless cultivation resources and living space for the Dragon City civilization from the vast and boundless foreign world.
“And all of this requires only two conditions.
“The first is to postpone the implementation of the comprehensive training plan and the restrictions on the super corporations and the unparalleled experts.
“The second is to allow the super corporations and the unparalleled experts to have more autonomy in the newly conquered land outside the monster mountain range.
“To put it simply, the survival committee has the final say in the monster mountain range.
“Outside the monster mountain range, the super corporations and the peerless experts have the final say!”
Meng Chao’s eyes flashed.
“No wonder councilman Gu Dongcheng used the words ‘warlord’and ‘fan town’to describe the super corporations just now.”
Meng Chao mumbled to himself, “There’s no such thing as free lunch in this world. They don’t need to mobilize a single soldier, nor do they need to expend the military budget. They can just break through mountains and conquer temples and expand their territory? How can such a good thing happen!
“The life of an enterprise is profit. The nine super enterprises can not do business at a loss. Today, they are willing to invest a lot for this brand-new colonization war. Tomorrow, they will make even more investment and earn back this investment from the newly conquered territories.
“Then, are these newly conquered territories the territory of the Dragon City civilization or the backyard of these super enterprises and peerless experts?
“Also, the Otherworld is so vast. The exploitable area outside the Monster Mountains is more than ten times or a hundred times larger than the Small World in front of us?
“If the future colonization wars are all led by Super Enterprises, the nine super enterprises will probably expand to an unimaginable extent.
“By then, who will be the master of the fate of the Dragon City Civilization
