How Am I Still Alive?

"Oscontinent fell? When did you hear the news?!"

Does this count as eating at home?

Soon, the news spread throughout Lu's team and aroused discussion and great attention from almost everyone.

Apart from Lu Ping'an, he was still having fun and still didn't understand.

"Well, why are you so excited? Isn't it Osland (Australia)? Even if it is lost, does it have anything to do with us?"

Lu Ping'an couldn't understand it until he saw shocked faces.

"We thought you were just faking your lack of understanding of politics. You are obviously very good at important policies."

"Oh oh oh, I understand, do you want to hear our opinions?"

Seeing this situation, someone gave him a ladder, and Lu Pingping could only listen honestly.

After listening to a few sentences, Lu Pingan understood that this was completely a deviation between the two world lines. After the "pollution boom" around the 1950s, those slight deviations continued to amplify.

The butterfly effect threw up a typhoon and gradually changed the two worlds. The small differences eventually turned into the essential geopolitical differences between the two worlds.

"The Red Star has not disintegrated, but it is inevitable to shrink. The Citigroup Federation is still strong, but its scope of influence is mainly on the American continent and Europa, and is limited to Asia."

These changes, in fact, are all about the same thing - "external pressure"

When there is a lot of "pollution" in the world, public security will naturally become a problem. The cost of expansion will also increase significantly, and major countries can only manage the things around them.

World overlord? Whoever wants to fight for this mess should first make a living for himself.

Red Star can still survive because it did not expand blindly and did not plunge into the quagmire of the Middle East and Central Asia. Citigroup did not insert too much power in those areas, and it is also because Red Star did not need to fight with its root causes.

If you quit, I will naturally quit too. If you don't like it, I won't like it either. It's such a simple and direct reason.

Although the Red Star inevitably declined due to some reasons, it did not fall to the level of the disintegration of another world.

Of course, this is also because Citigroup's Western countries have constant fireworks in their own hometowns, and they have neither the ability nor the mood to interfere in too many foreign countries.

The two powers still exist, but they are still just two powers and not two hegemons. In addition, the living space of Dongda is freer than that of the other line. After developing, it is natural to control the surrounding forces more under their own influence. Within this scope, this is also the reason why after the launch of the Nirvana Project, the first batch of full support will be Southeast Asia, Sakurajima, Red Star and other surrounding forces. Now Dongguo has naturally become the largest core force in the local area.

The Cold War, or the confrontation between the two forces, still exists, but due to the existence of external pressure, it is not as sharp. When human beings are fighting for their survival, internal fighting will naturally not become the main theme.

looks good? No matter how good the situation and changes are, there will still be victims, but I am afraid that only those who have traveled safely will know that the biggest victim of this world line is Australia.

"The Aussies were originally exiled in the West and were not welcomed, and their subsequent development was also average."

This made Lu Ping'an a little confused, but after looking at the history, he noticed the essential difference.

In fact, Australia is closer to Asia, which is an isolated island overseas. Although it belongs to Western forces, when Citigroup, the leader of the West, is restricted to its own surrounding America, it naturally does not receive much attention.

When the two sides confront each other, the front line will naturally receive attention and investment. However, the momentum of the confrontation between the two sides has been greatly weakened, and the front line has become a borderland with little strategic value and risks.

"What's even worse is that shipping in this world is very dangerous, while air transportation only has floating airships and no faster aircraft."

It is very difficult for an isolated island to develop naturally under such a situation. They do have very good natural resources and very high-quality agricultural products, but when transportation is not smooth, they can only produce and sell them themselves.

Naturally, a series of cycles such as overproduction, collapse of food prices, no one to plant crops, skyrocketing food prices, corporate monopoly, famine, etc. have happened several times, and the situation has been like a free country in South America in another world. .

Also due to the inconvenience of transportation, its suppressive effect on Asia has been greatly reduced, and there is no investment in military and industry. Even those local bosses are willing to go to the safer Americas and Europe. Why go to the place of exile to see kangaroos? Teeth bared.

The final result is that it has never developed well, and the accompanying weakening of the "official" government has led to the rise of "corporate politics" in a power vacuum.

These Osborne super companies have become the de facto controllers of power, and naturally they only fight for their own interests. The local public order has extremely deteriorated.

At this time, it reflects Lu Pingan's "wrong understanding" of "modern countries" and "geopolitics" because he is too lazy to pay attention.

He never realized that because Australia itself was too weak, it lacked influence on the island countries to the north and South Asia. This also meant that Western countries were unable to invest their own power in it, making this area a hollow power. It naturally hates being hollow, and a certain eastern power further north naturally included it into its own economic and trade circle, becoming the fringe of its influence.

The world line is different. Australia and Southeast Asia that Lu Pingan thinks of are other people's places, the traditional sphere of influence of the West. If they are rotten, they are rotten. Maybe Lu Pingan will open champagne to celebrate.

If something really happens? Shouldn't a Citibank blockbuster be staged to let the Western allies come to the rescue? Just eat melons and have fun.

And the Australia that Hua Xueyi and others think of is a mixture of a rotten place and a lawless place. It is a marginal area of ​​the West, while the archipelago and Southeast Asia further north have been the sphere of influence of the East Country in recent years.

Now that Australia has fallen, the most panicked are Southeast Asia and the island countries. If they also collapse, then the East Country will definitely be dragged into the water.

".You see, if all of Australia really falls, they will definitely go north. At that time, the Archipelago Alliance (Indonesia and the Pacific Islands) will be the first to suffer, followed by the South Asian countries, the Pakistan Federation, and then up, Sakura Island (Sakura Kingdom) and the Leighton Peninsula"

Now, Lu Pingan understands.

In this world line, Australia is completely collapsed, and Citibank will probably pretend not to see it. When the wound of this world begins to bleed, the only countries that must take action to control it may be the surrounding countries. If they cannot solve the problem, it is only a matter of time before the Eastern Power is dragged in.

"Uh, uh, uh, it seems that I will definitely be dragged in"

After looking around, Lu Ping'an was also numb.

If that position is really lost, the most headache is not even the land and islands, but the vast ocean.

In this world line, the island chain is not the western line of defense to contain the Eastern Power, but the sphere of influence and line of defense of the Eastern Power itself.

Once it collapses, the coastal areas of the Eastern Power itself will also be threatened.

And the coastal areas of the Eastern Power. Lu Ping'an pointed and pointed to the southernmost point of the map, a place he was familiar with.

Or in other words, the "hometown" of his own power.

"Longyue Island"

Wailongzhou is one of the southernmost states of the Eastern Power, and at the same time, it is also the southernmost island area of ​​the Eastern Power.

The most helpless thing is that it is also the main territory of the Southern Faction of the Linnv Church in a substantial sense, and the hometown of a group of bigwigs including Liu Lao.

"Oh my god, this melon eater has eaten his own house!!"

"You, just found out?!"
