Chapter 260: 【Blue Star Players: Par... Pardon???】(4.1k)

If it were a major power playing this hand, other federations and countries would have no way to deal with it.

But for a small country to play this hand... it belongs to digging a hole for itself.

It's just that these things still depend on future changes.

Because for the Arab countries at present, this move of theirs is very successful.

It directly threatened the "US Federation," this superpower.

Watching the predicament of the "US Federation," this superpower, being choked by them, I'm afraid there's no telling how much celebration and cheering is going on domestically, but it has also offended countries all over the world.

There is also no way to speak of the pros and cons involved.

They will know in the future.

Yu Feng looked at the data here and continued:

"Then it's 1974."

"In this year, the US Federation erupted with a huge scandal."

"That is, the then-president of the US Federation, under investigation, was found to have installed wiretaps and stolen documents at the opponent's national headquarters office."

"This is a fatal political act."

"You become president, and then you install wiretaps on your opponent, monitoring the other side's movements and meetings in real-time; that way, over the long term..."

"Wouldn't the 'US Federation's elections' always be on this side?"

"After all, the other side is being wiretapped, which is equivalent to all their trump cards being exposed; how can they compete in the subsequent elections?"

"After this incident happened."

"The 'US Federation's White House' attempted to destroy evidence, pay hush money to those involved, and pressure investigative agencies."

"But this also caused the 'White House's' credibility to drop significantly."

"And with the continuous investigation."

"They really did discover recording systems installed throughout the 'White House,' and the US Federation President, as the then-president, refused to hand over all the tapes."

"And personally led people to instruct subordinates to obstruct the investigation."

"This suddenly caused the US Federation to explode."

"After all, if they were innocent, why would the then-president of the US Federation obstruct the investigation? Now, not only are they obstructing the investigation, but they are also personally stepping in to apply pressure."

"This further illustrates how sinister it is."

"How the public thinks, I don't know, because the internal actions of the US Federation were faster."

"On the very day the then-US Federation president obstructed the investigation, the party they belonged to began to defect and convict, and this president's actions were also very swift. The next day, they announced their resignation."

"Immediately followed by Vice President Ford succeeding them."

"And the US Federation President has the privilege of pardon."

"After Vice President Ford took office, he directly pardoned all the crimes of the former president."

The voice fell.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream room were typing question marks?

Holy crap?

Can you still play like this?

Just got in and already pardoning; is the process too slick?

Where is this a legal issue?

Isn't this Game of Thrones?

So it turns out a massive hole can also be wiped clean with one stroke.

Then this is indeed a bit too free.

No wonder they dared to arrogantly lead a team to obstruct the investigation; it turns out this former president had already left a retreat path.

This outrageous plot twist made the Blue Star netizens in the live stream room shout 666.

Yu Feng continued here:

"Then it's 1975."

"This year."

"The 'Vietnam Federation War' in the Asian region ended."

"Even with the aid of the US Federation, the internal forces of the Vietnam Federation still unified the whole country under the support of the Republic."

"This represents the second failure of the US Federation in the Asian region."

"The first was the Peninsula War, the second was the Vietnam Federation War."

"Both times were related to the Republic supporting them from behind."

"It also made many small countries in the Asian region realize that the ancestor is still that ancestor."

"As long as they aren't dead."

"They are truly capable of fighting."

"After the Vietnam Federation War ended, the US Federation's credibility in the Asian region basically went bankrupt."

"Because of the two wars, from 1953 to 1975, over 20 years of time, they ultimately still lost."

"Then the small countries in the Asian region were a bit afraid to eat the pies the US Federation had drawn before."

"Why?"

"Because the Republic is right next door."

"In case they provoke the Republic, distant water cannot save a nearby fire."

"I'm afraid that before the US Federation could come over."

"They would have already been burned away by the Republic."

"However, having taken a hit in the Asian region, the US Federation found it back here in Europe."

"First of all, since the end of World War II."

"Countries in the European region, because of the existence of the Soviet Federation, this behemoth, and the camp countries led by the US Federation confronting it on European soil."

"So the border issues have always been blurred."

"But in the 'Helsinki Accords' signed in 1975, the federation countries led by the US Federation publicly recognized the post-war European borders for the first time."

"This reduced direct conflicts between the US Federation and the Soviet Federation."

"Both sides felt at ease."

"And through this agreement, the Soviet Federation gained cooperation from the US Federation camp countries in fields such as economy, technology, and science, while the US Federation promoted human rights and personnel exchange regulations to the Soviet Federation."

"Both sides gained benefits, but what exactly was lost?"

"We still have to explore for ourselves."

"After all, the disintegration of the Soviet Federation was not a single-sided cause."

"It was a multi-faceted combined cause."

The voice fell.

There were quite a few Blue Star friends in the live stream room frowning.

Looking at the data released by Yu Feng in the live stream room, there was nothing special about it.

The Soviets gained technology, and the US Federation promoted human rights.

It looks like the Soviets took more advantage.

After all, scientific technology isn't something you can have just by having many people; it all requires painstaking research or a flash of inspiration to create.

However, some Blue Star players understood in an instant.

It seems the Soviet Federation took advantage.

But the human rights stipulated in the agreement were chronic poison for the Soviet Federation.

In the past.

According to the Soviet Federation's control over the interior of the camp.

Whenever there were different opinions.

All could be labeled as "betrayal" and "instigated by the US Federation camp," easily leaving the person who spoke out isolated and helpless domestically, because betrayal is the most shameful thing.

But now.

The clause requiring respect for human rights and basic freedoms meant that the Soviet Federation's previous domineering control over the interior could be sophistically twisted into freedom of speech.

And freedom... naturally, you say whatever you want to say.

This made many things legalized.

Originally, they could easily use the power of the camp to "judge" opponents.

But now.

They have freedom of speech; you can't do anything to them.

They are just talking and haven't done anything substantial or bad; if you don't let them talk, you are not respecting their human rights and freedom.

And the US Federation also established "Helsinki Groups" in various European countries.

These so-called "Helsinki Groups" constantly sang a different tune from the domestic government, yet they couldn't be judged in the name of human rights and freedom.

They became a sustainable weapon for the US Federation camp.

After all, no federation country would be short of a few people.

Using the "Helsinki Groups" to accumulate social dissatisfaction until one day, this dissatisfaction could no longer be suppressed, just like water breaking through a dam.

It turned into a huge torrent, destroying the Soviet Federation.

The key is.

The interior of the Soviet Federation did not notice this point at this time.

Even many European countries didn't see it clearly.

Only the US Federation was secretly calculating it to death; if it weren't for standing from a third-party perspective and knowing many of the subsequent plots.

I'm afraid they wouldn't have thought of this either.

Hiss—

Isn't this too poisonous?

At this moment.

Individual Blue Star players who figured it out only felt their scalps tingle.

How could they calculate to this extent?

And precisely grasped the soft underbelly of the Soviet Federation; it belongs to a one-hit kill.

The Soviet Federation of the past relied on strong cohesion and the public's trust in it, even in the 10 years between, sending troops several times, suppressing so many opponents.

And no one raised a single objection.

They couldn't even hear a dissenting voice.

But once this agreement was signed.

No need to think.

There would definitely be a large number of voices emerging, true and false, real and illusory, and precisely because of the treaty, the Soviet Federation still couldn't do anything.

Because both sides were cooperating in fields like science and technology.

Plus the US Federation camp countries recognized the borders of various European countries; once the contract was broken.

These would all cease to exist.

So the Soviet Federation still couldn't touch those people.

Because they had to "protect human rights."

This move is simply too ruthless.

Even if they were blowing "various speeches" all day long, they only needed one sentence of "human rights and freedom" to easily let it go.

Even the greatest crime could not be helped.

And this was also the goal of the US Federation.

As long as the Soviet Federation didn't judge these people, then the rumors and gossip would accumulate.

As long as it was detonated.

They could easily bankrupt the Soviet Federation's credibility.

No wonder the US Federation talks about human rights all day long.

It turns out it's a winning magic weapon.

In the past, many Blue Star players didn't understand; the US Federation is such a domineering federation, launching wars every day, treating criticism and credibility like farts.

How could they still promote human rights?

You are all so domineering, and you still talk about human rights?

When they launched a war in the Vietnam Federation, bombed the Cambodia Federation for no reason, and 500,000 people demonstrated domestically, I didn't see where the US Federation was human rights-oriented.

It turns out human rights are not used on oneself.

But used on... others.

This is superficially moral kidnapping with human rights, but in reality, it is digging the foundation of the Soviets; the person who thought of this move is simply too poisonous.

What some Blue Star players in the live stream room thought was also what he thought of.

It just wasn't stated clearly.

After all, the Blue Star side still has relatively free speech.

Some things that can be used on Earth can also be used on Blue Star.

But fortunately, most people didn't see it clearly.

Yu Feng continued here:

"The above are the US Federation camp events from 1971 to 1975."

"Let's summarize these two major camps first."

"Then we will talk about the Republic."

"First is the Soviet Federation, in the period from 1971 to 1975."

"Global military deterrence reached its peak in history."

"Intervening in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, supporting proxies in Africa, etc., etc., a series of events made the Soviet Federation's momentum even stronger."

"But internal problems have already been exposed."

"The underlying economic structure is unbalanced."

"After all, a country has nearly half of its grain relying on imports; what is the difference between this and the self-detonating mine that went off after the Arab countries controlled oil?"

"The self-detonating mine of the Arab countries made all federations clearly understand that some lifelines cannot be held in others' hands."

"But the Soviet Federation is in exactly this situation."

"Nearly half of the domestic grain relies on imports; although there is no problem now, what if there is a grain reduction or famine?"

"Or what if the camp led by the US Federation imposes sanctions on grain?"

"Once a problem arises, it's over."

"Livelihood issues are the top priority."

"If this livelihood problem is not solved well, it's difficult..."

Yu Feng shook his head; this has been going on for so long, and it hasn't been solved; obviously, the Soviet Federation didn't take it to heart; if this continues, something will happen sooner or later.

Yu Feng continued here:

"Then there is the US Federation side."

"Because of the internal situation."

"They chose to ease with the Republic and initially entered diplomacy."

"But even so, after withdrawing from the Vietnam Federation war, the state was not too good."

"Stagflation crisis and the shaking of financial hegemony."

"Caused the US Federation's inflation rate to soar."

"At the same time, its prestige and credibility in the Asian region dropped to a low point, plus the 'wiretapping gate' incident inside the US Federation; it can be said that they had no time to attend to other things."

"Even external interventions were reduced a lot."

"However, this..."

"Also allowed the Earth's landscape to initially form."

"Originally, the Republic was the younger brother of the Soviet Federation camp."

"But now the two sides have separated."

"The Republic has faintly become the third largest force."

"Of course, overall, it definitely cannot catch up to the other two superpowers."

"But."

"This is independent."

"Instead of other federations and countries, which can only be forced to choose one side to join."

"As long as it can develop independently, it will have infinite possibilities in the future."

"Otherwise, always living under others, the day of standing out is indefinitely delayed."

"Of course."

"The development of the Republic is not standing still."

"I will talk about the Republic here."

"First of all, on October 25, 1971, the Republic returned to the United Nations with 76 votes in favor; this is another important event after the diplomatic ice-breaking in 1970."

"Then it's 1972."

"In this year, the then-president of the US Federation visited the Republic."

"And publicly recognized the existence of the 'Republic'."

"Although it was a method the US Federation thought of to check and balance the Soviet Federation, the opportunity is placed on oneself; using it well is the kingly way."

"With the recognition of the US Federation and the return to the United Nations last year."

"The Republic's diplomacy also opened a new stage of multilateral exchanges."

"Immediately followed by 1973."

"The Republic of this year still had some friction with the Soviet Federation."

"In order to cope with the Soviet nuclear threat."

"The Republic deployed DF-3 medium-range missiles (range 2500 km) at the border with the Soviet Federation, which can be considered a response to the Soviet Federation's nuclear threat."

"Then it's 1974."

"What happened last year, everyone has just seen; the Fourth Middle East War, Arab countries controlled oil output, raised prices, triggering a global oil crisis."

"Countries are looking for new sources of oil."

"The Republic is the same."

"The Daqing Oilfield in the Northeast region achieved oil self-sufficiency."

"Temporarily getting rid of the dependence on imported oil."

"At the same time, it was also this year that the Republic broke out in battle with the Vietnam Federation forces supported by the US Federation, recapturing the Coral Islands and other XSQD islands." ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
