"It’s been three weeks since the dual presidency declared their legal power over the United States of Arica."
"We can see that the space airship has caused significant damage to i Country’s communication network, with the internet consistently overloaded and fragnted, impacting the global network to so extent."
"Since the war, the probability of issues with various information devices has increased severalfold compared to before the war."
"Let’s focus on the latest situation in i Country: the space airship continues to patrol North Arica, and the United Nations Security Council states this is normal security work."
"Various United Nations mber states indicate that such armant exceeds the power the UN should possess, but Security Council mber Alexander Pierce claims it’s necessary force to maintain world peace."
"Since the deploynt of the space airship in North Arica, communications in the region have been silent for a long ti, but we see communication is on the rise:"
"Several states report that since President Ellis’ new policies were enacted, local GDP has skyrocketed, increasing by 10%~25% compared to the previous month, as i Country is forging an industrial miracle."
"In stark contrast, in places like New York, the month-on-month growth has hit a new low, plumting to -2070%, as the forr world financial center experiences a massive economic regression, with the financial system’s collapse sweeping globally, and large numbers of investors flocking to the European market..."
"Today’s European news: Latovia is rebuilding its capital, but we’ve seen nothing so far."
"Several Nordic and Eastern European countries have reached an agreent recently, and they seem to agree with President Ellis’ statent: Lille Lee, Doctor Doom poses a thoroughly destructive threat to a stable environnt."
"They believe that Latovia’s coup d’état could affect their border security, with so even suggesting that the coup d’état is supported by the European Union as a military expansion..."
"In summary, several countries, including Sokovia, have declared the formation of the Eastern European Border Security Military Pact, abbreviated as the Eastern Pact."
"The Eastern Pact states that to ensure the territorial security of each mber state, they will take all asures to prevent Doctor Doom from threatening their border security..."
"Including military ans."
All sorts of news are making headlines in an era of internet semi-collapse, where the once cheap internet traffic and communication thods have gradually beco expensive, and most people can only hear the words of major dia outlets.
Even in Europe, the price of internet traffic has increased more than fivefold compared to two years ago, and that number is still climbing.
Logically, products with high profits should attract investors to bet heavily, but not this ti.
[Schulz: It’s not that we don’t want to restore communications. Our equipnt experiences a rapid increase in failure rate after running for a while, and maintenance costs are too high.]
Relying on the limited communication lines, Speaker Schulz and Lille spoke once again.
There’s no choice but to communicate: now, the northeastern countries are planning to unite to attack Latovia, and not only attack, but also involve Europe.
However, before the official discussion began, Lille first inquired about the current network situation.
Receiving this answer, Lille instinctively felt sothing was wrong:
In the cyberpunk 21st-century twenties, with the rapid developnt of AI technology, the cost of maintaining network equipnt continued to soar, primarily for the following reasons:
Social unrest, ongoing war, hardware and software running at high loads in overt and covert battles, significantly increasing failure rates.
But beyond that, the maturity of AI technology is also considered a primary reason for the increase in network maintenance costs: past network supervision reports show that abnormal device operations and major failures are often related to rogue AI.
According to nurous reports from European engineers...
There’s definitely sothing abnormal on the network; either Hydra is up to sothing, or... this world might also be facing a dangerous tipping point.
In a matter of seconds, Lille scanned through a large number of data reports.
[Lille: ...you need professionals to run and maintain the network.]
[Speaker Schulz: Your Atlas? I do want to find professionals; these loafing engineers can’t even identify the problems... Is this issue very tricky?]
[Lille: Extrely tricky, even I need ti to determine the problem.]
These blunt words made Speaker Schulz choke for a mont, but Lille quickly added:
[Lille: But if you urgently need it, I can have Latovia assist you with so engineers.]
A country that just went from a backwards, fragnted dieval world into a monarchy helping the European Union?
Schulz didn’t say anything, but Lille knew what he was thinking because he completely skipped over this topic.
[Speaker Schulz: Let’s talk about sothing else; the European Union doesn’t want to fight, especially now... you’re a smart person, so I’ll get to the point:]
[Speaker Schulz: The issue with i Country has destabilized the global economy. We can’t afford to miss this opportunity by getting involved in a war with... northeastern neighbors.]
In the cyberpunk world, i Country also experienced decline, even fragntation, so Europe rose up and maintained its leading position until today.
In reality, whether in the second position or when the leader is busy fighting and leaves the spot vacant, driven by interests, everyone rushes to take the position, secure it, and not find soone to fight.
Such a simple issue is clear to everyone.
[Lille: An issue everyone can see, but clearly, you also must assist us.]
[Speaker Schulz: Sigh... familiar taste, the situation changes like a nuclear reaction, completely uncontrollable.]
Just because everyone can see it, a leader busy fighting will certainly try to get soone to bring the runner-up into the fight as well.
For example, the third is a great choice... the bigger the gap between the third and the second, the better, because the second rely wants to maintain the status quo, whereas the third will definitely fight hard, otherwise, it has no way to surpass the second.
Then the third might also think, if only soone could help hold its own third, it would be great...
The Earth is big, but also small. Once a war starts, no one can stay out of it, so-called appeasent and prayers for peace are re words to comfort the public from politicians.
With opportunities, everyone will surely jump in; those with resources exhaust every ans to use those without resources, while those without resources use every ans to trade people for resources...
To rise to the top, there is no other way.
[Speaker Schulz: We can provide weapons, munitions... but can your people really use these things?]
[Speaker Schulz: Forgive for being blunt, they might not even be able to operate... a tractor.]
[Lille: I don’t want your ready-made weapons, I need industrial materials and machinery, as much as possible.]
[Lille: To the outside, you can claim it’s disaster relief and ergency construction supplies; you can also tell your citizens you’re not warmongers.]
[Lille: If you’re worried about political repercussions, you can broadcast the transport live, showing the world Latovia’s current situation.]
Simple material aid is far easier to mobilize than direct military aid.
Moreover, these things are mostly excess capacity at the ti...
[Speaker Schulz: ...are you sure you only need these? Although I’m not very convinced about you, I really don’t want you to lose.]
[Lille: The more, the better, and it must be quick.]
[Speaker Schulz: The more, the better; if that’s your only request, it’s easy to manage.]
[Speaker Schulz: You will receive support, Your Majesty the King.]
