Chapter 1312: Top Secret Meeting Human Nature Explained
The matter concerning India was quickly agreed in front of the heads of state, because the plans and actions behind this consensus were too large. As a result, even those participating countries in the core programmes have had to mobilize a lot of resources and manpower to lay the groundwork in the early stages.
Of course, because the previous disasters in Britain and Japan did not cause any fatal damage to the infrastructure of the two countries, their upfront investment was much smaller than expected. But even so, such an investment will be an astronomical amount, and if you want to earn back this astronomical investment, it will probably take a long time to do it.
However, since countries dare to agree to such a plan, they are naturally quite optimistic about the profitability of this plan. After all, it is a state-led project, and it is not a problem at all to make money or anything. Compared with profits, expanding the country's industrial scale, increasing the country's employment, and enhancing the country's hard power are what they value more.
To say that the merit is in the contemporary era, the benefit is a bit bragging. But if this project is done well, it will be beneficial to all countries in the coming century.
In this matter, the people who have benefited are naturally happy to smile, as if such a disaster had not happened at all. And what doesn't benefit at all is a sad face, as if the nuclear explosion happened on their own land. In general, the only ones who can be indifferent to this matter are the three big brother-level heads of state.
Because Russia has no mind in this regard, its own exhausted economy makes it impossible for them to participate in such a huge project, and it is impossible for him to offend the surrounding countries for such a small profit, even though he is almost entirely dependent on the economic support of his neighbors.
Big Brother is a different story, he swallowed the largest piece of cake alone, so naturally there is no need for him to do the ugliness of eating in the bowl and looking at the pot. As for Tony, he is completely more than he can do.
Being alone on the other side of the world may be a geographical advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage at some point. Just like now, both Britain and Japan are too far away from him, and even if he wants to intervene, there is no chance of intervening. So instead of looking at this greed, it's better to be out of sight and out of mind.
Almost everyone has their own ideas on this issue. And in response to their ideas, different people began to make different actions. However, just as Tony was about to go back to continue his unfinished work, Big Brother suddenly stopped him.
"Mr. Stark, please wait a moment. There are some things I think I need to discuss with you! ”
"Me?" Pointing at himself, Tony, who was about to disappear, stabilized his figure again. Still, there was confusion in his tone. "Is it something about India? I don't think what's going to happen in India has anything to do with me. ”
"It will matter, Your Excellency. Please wait a moment, as the participants have not yet arrived. ”
Big Brother spoke, and then saw three projections light up from his side one after another. And when he saw the figures of these three people clearly, Tony's eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
In addition to him, the three principals of the Heavenly Hammer Bureau also gathered here, which made Tony immediately understand that Big Brother was probably not as simple as nagging about him. And just as he thought, when he saw that the people were gathered, Big Brother said straight to the point.
"I invite you to gather here because there are some things that need the help of the Heavenly Hammer Bureau. In this matter, our three leading countries must understand a certain situation. So I took this opportunity to call everyone here. Mr. Petervich, you should have been instructed by the President of your country. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Your Excellency the President has already told me. In this matter, I will fully cooperate with your country's call for action. ”
So said the Russian principal, and then he put on a posture with only ears and no mouth. Obviously, as he said, he is already looking forward to Big Brother.
When it comes to his country's rights and status in the world, Tony can't do it to such a free and easy degree. Therefore, after the Russian principal made his attitude clear, he immediately followed suit and showed his completely different attitude.
"Well, even though it's already two to one, it doesn't matter if I have an opinion or not. But I still want to know, Your Excellency, what exactly is there that you need to mobilize the Heavenly Hammer Bureau. Like you said, I have the right to know anyway, don't I? ”
"Of course, Lord Stark. I called you here just to let you know what you should know. ”
Smiling and nodding, Big Brother said in the demeanor of an elder.
"It's actually about India. As we all know, India's most serious problem now is not the loss of its regime. The most serious problem is the more than one billion people affected by the disaster in China. Their existence is an unstable factor for the world. ”
"Wait, did I misunderstand? Unstable? They? ”
Shaking his head vigorously, Tony clearly didn't quite agree with Big Brother. Because in his opinion, these Indian people are already pitiful enough. In the face of the worst man-made disasters, they have to passively accept the blockade from all over the world. Although countries have tried hard to organize humanitarian relief, neither the small amount of international relief nor the large-scale population transfer program can completely solve the problems of the Indian people.
The former is simply a thing to do, and the meaning of existence or non-existence is actually the same. The latter can solve part of the problem, but it is only partial. It is impossible for the land of those two countries alone to share the profits among the billions of victims. Moreover, his pre-construction will also be a long project. And until the project is over, they are unlikely to be of any help to India.
This means that for a long time, the victims of the disaster in India will be left to fend for themselves. And it is conceivable that they will inevitably lose a lot in this situation of fending for themselves. In order to survive, they need to struggle hard. And no matter how much they struggle, the vast majority of them are only despair. In the face of such a tragic life, Big Brother actually said that they were potential unstable factors, which Tony really couldn't agree with at all.
Tony's attitude was expected by Big Brother, because Tony was too young for him, and what he was thinking in his heart could be known by simply guessing. And under such a premise, it is normal for him not to see what he can see. There is nothing to be harsh on this, and as a senior, what he needs is not to be harsh, but to help him at this time and let him see what he can see.
So immediately, he said to Tony earnestly.
"I see what you're thinking, Lord Stark. It's normal for you to sympathize with the victims of the disaster in India. As long as there is any person with a conscience in the world, after learning about their situation, he will sympathize with them. This is human nature, and they are indeed worthy of sympathy. But compassion doesn't mean you can ignore the facts. And the truth is cruel in many cases! ”
"For example?" Tony retorted unhappily, as an adult, even if Big Brother did have an age advantage, he really didn't want to be lectured by him like that. So at the moment, he showed an attitude of not admitting defeat, and for his attitude, Big Brother just smiled kindly, and then explained to him.
"For example, you only see the tragic and sympathetic situation of these victims, but you don't see the fundamental changes that have taken place because of this man-made disaster."
"Lord Stark, the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that humans know what rules are. Human beings will abide by the rules before them, and this rule may be law, or social common sense, or just morality in their hearts. But either way, it's a matter of principle to which humanity abides. ”
"In the vast majority of cases, humanity will hold fast to this inner front. However, this is not actively, but passively. A philosopher in my country once said that human nature is inherently evil. The reason why human beings abide by the rules is because there are various forces in this world, such as the government, the law, and social feelings, that force them to compel them, and they must abide by this rule. Human beings are social creatures, and there is no way for individual beings to resist this collective force. So in order to survive, in order to live better, almost all people will adapt to this kind of rule, and they will learn to abide by this rule. However, it is not absolute. Because there are always surprises that happen. ”
"What happens when one day, the forces that hold the rules together are broken? You've been a superhero, so you should know that. Just like those super criminals who have the power to break the rules, without the shackles of the rules, the vast majority of humans will choose to release their inner beastliness. And in that case, they will naturally become dangerous. ”
"Like India? Do you think they're going to be what you say? ”
Tony asked rhetorically, he had already heard the meaning of Big Brother's words. And to this, Big Brother just nodded affirmatively, and then continued.
"The government is in vain, the basic order of society is gone, and there are serious problems in survival. They did gather what I think of as what constitutes a beast. And you must know that there are still our enemies in that land, and with their cunning and demagogy, can you be sure that the victims of the Indian disaster will not become their weapons? And at that point, do you think things will still be that simple? ”
