Chapter 1797 New Year's Eve, Privilege Escalation

Time flies, time flies, and another year has passed in a blink of an eye.

This year, many major events that caused a global sensation were successively launched internationally.

First, the United States withdrew the THAAD anti-missile system it was planning to deploy in South Korea, and immediately lifted all sanctions against Russia.

NATO followed suit, announcing the end of all sanctions against Russia.

It directly brought Russia's economy this year, which achieved leapfrog growth at once. The economy that was originally sluggish and recovering was greatly relieved at once, bringing more business opportunities to Russia.

At the same time, European countries have also begun to obtain Russian natural gas steadily, and there have been no any moths throughout the year.

The Ukrainian issue has also been fully and properly resolved. NATO has completely stopped all support for Ukraine and recognized Crimea as Russia's territory.

It caused the Ukrainian government to fire a map gun on the entire NATO, but NATO was unmoved at all.

In Eastern Europe, Ukraine was betrayed, and in the Far East, on the four northern islands of Japan, Russia began to build military airports on the four northern islands regardless of the protests of the Japanese, which immediately aroused great protests from the entire Japanese society.

But when Japan came to the United States, the attitude of the United States suddenly became ambiguous. It didn't make any statement, it just called on the two sides to sit down and have a good talk, without any substantive actions, and Russia continued to do its own way as always.

However, Japan also got a huge benefit. The United States sold the decommissioned Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier to Japan at a price of 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. It announced to the outside world that a Japanese company purchased this aircraft carrier and would use it as an exhibition hall for tourists to appreciate .

In this regard, Japan has gradually shut its mouth. Although it has not admitted it, it has gradually acquiesced in Russia's actions on the four northern islands.

At the same time, the whole world has gradually learned about the changes in China this year, and almost all instinctively understood the root cause of the sudden change in the international situation.

China's military expenditure the year before last was only 200 billion US dollars, but last year's military expenditure alone reached an astonishing one trillion US dollars, and next year will continue to increase military expenditures, which are expected to account for 1% of the annual fiscal revenue thirty.

This year, it was not the Middle East Federation that caused the sudden change in the international situation, or it was not directly caused by the Middle East Federation, but China. No one can deny this.

From everyone's point of view, the Middle East Federation didn't seem to have any major news other than the Indonesian war this year. The main news all came from the Future Technology Group.

The city of the future in the sky is one of the most concerned news throughout the year, and another news with the same degree of attention is interstellar immigration.

Last year, three months after the exposure of Future Sky City, the Space Shuttle III of the Future Technology Group completed construction and performed the first ascension replenishment mission at the Tehran spaceport, and immediately began its second flight.

Space Shuttle 3, carrying a total of 500 professionals and technicians from various fields from Future Technology Group and China, also carried a large amount of equipment and materials, and flew to Mars.

Accelerated by the gravitational force of the earth, Space Shuttle 3 arrived at Mars in only 25 days at an astonishing speed, ten days ahead of the original plan.

The successful arrival of Space Shuttle 3 to Mars also brought a perfect end to the first step of human interstellar immigration.

The huge body of the space shuttle landed directly on Mars, and it will perform a three-month residency mission. During this period, after the first phase of the construction of the Mars immigration base is completed, the space shuttle 3 will return to Earth. A round-trip mission between Earth and Mars is carried out every two months.

Future Technology Group has officially launched interstellar immigration, and the first group of people who immigrated to Mars was 500 people. This year, they plan to immigrate 5,000 people to Mars. Some of these 5,000 people will be selected from around the world. The method of registration and assessment, once passed, will go directly to the Future Technology Group to receive three months of training,

Those who are finally qualified will be able to actually immigrate to Mars.

Last year, Mars also became the most popular word in all mankind.

While people's attention is drawn to Mars, they have not forgotten the earth-shaking changes that are taking place on the earth. This kind of change does not refer to the international situation, but is all concentrated in the Middle East Federation.

At the end of this year, the Middle East Federation's development plan of more than ten trillion US dollars last year has finally come to test the results.

The first is the full application of wireless power transmission technology. In the Middle East Federation, there is no longer a single vehicle burning gasoline. In the entire Middle East Federation, vehicles other than electric energy have also been completely banned. It is the world's first truly A country that realizes all electric energy transportation.

The Middle East Federation has the most abundant oil reserves in the world. This year's international oil price has risen from the original oil war between the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia because of the changes in the domestic life of the Middle East Federation and the demand for oil has dropped to a freezing point. Oil prices once again experienced a continuous decline.

However, this decline is very slow, but the whole world knows that in the Middle East Federation, the domestic demand for oil has been reduced to the point where only the army needs it. Once a large amount of oil is exported, it is estimated that the world's oil price may drop to It's less than twenty dollars a barrel.

At that time, not only will Russia's economy fall into a cold winter again, but even the entire shale oil industry chain in the United States will directly collapse.

This will be a catastrophic level for both Russia and the United States. Fortunately, the Middle East Federation did not do this. The drop in international oil prices is only due to market conditions. They are worried that the Middle East Federation will sell a large amount of oil, resulting in losses. Sell ​​the large amount of oil in your hands as soon as possible.

In fact, the Middle East Federation has done nothing. The amount of oil exported each year has not increased, and it seems that it has no intention of this aspect.

The wireless power transmission technology popularized throughout the Middle East Federation has also completely brought about changes in human life patterns. There is no need for chargers, power sockets, and high-voltage cables connecting the whole country. The power grid covering the whole country has become a thing of the past.

Citizens of the Middle East Federation now have only one real-name receiver in every household. How much electricity they use every month will be automatically deducted from the bank card bound to the real-name receiver. The speed really makes everyone realize what the speed of a rocket is.

The operator of the Future Technology Group, which is responsible for the national network of the Middle East Federation, only limits the network speed to one-fifth. Even so, if a point in the Middle East Federation is successfully connected to the Internet, the speed will always be maintained at 1g transmission and upload per second speed.

Also because of this high-speed transmission speed, the citizens of the Middle East Federation have truly realized the pace of keeping up with the pace of the world.

In addition, the vacuum high-speed rail throughout the Middle East Federation has also completed the construction of half of the country's lines, realizing the plan to open one-third of the world's lines.

Now in the Middle East Federation, from Jerusalem to Dubai, and then to Baghdad and Tehran, the whole journey only takes ten minutes.

It has truly realized a leap-forward non-interval transportation hub. When you wake up on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea in the morning and have some breakfast, you can come to the Gulf of Aden to go to work. After work in the evening, you can go to Jerusalem to see the Holy Mountain, and then browse the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Then go home and sleep.

However, what really caught the world's attention was the first vacuum high-speed rail connecting China from the Middle East Federation. After a year of construction, this high-speed rail was completely completed.

It goes directly from Tehran through Pakistan, then through the Kunlun Mountains, and then enters the hinterland of China, extending directly to the sea estuary where the Son of Heaven crosses Tianjin.

And in the middle, there are still a lot of exports, but this railway is not open to the outside world, and it is only used for cargo transportation.

Eventually, it will connect the independent high-speed railway for cargo transportation in the Middle East Federation, realizing the super speed of cargo transportation across the country.

But if you really want to talk about it, it is the difficulty of becoming a citizen of the Middle East Federation.

If it was five years ago, it would not be difficult to become a citizen of the Middle East Federation. Even if you were not from the Middle East, you could apply for citizenship of the Middle East Federation as long as you worked in a registered Middle East Federation company for more than three years. .

And every Middle Easterner in the world can return to the Middle East Federation at any time and become a citizen of the Middle East Federation.

However, since last year, countless foreigners who want to emigrate to the Middle East Federation to experience the rhythm of life in the Middle East Federation have found that it is almost impossible to live in the Middle East Federation for a long time.

The temporary visa for the Middle East Federation has also been shortened to only seven days, which can be said to be the shortest temporary visa in the world, even shorter than the tour group visa.

Unless it is a formal business negotiation, business inspection and other formal reasons, if you just want to travel or take a stroll in the Middle East Federation, you only have seven days.

However, the Middle East Federation is also one of the simplest foreign visa requirements among all countries in the world. If you want to come to the Middle East Federation for a walk, you only need to have no criminal record.

As a result, the Middle East Federation has almost become the most popular tourist country last year, and everyone believes that the large number of high-tech technologies in the Middle East Federation will also attract more tourists this year.

And last year, the brand-new airliner of Future Technology Group Airlines was officially successfully developed and successfully completed the global test flight.

The brand-new future airliner is a high-end global airliner with the fastest flight speed in the world, similar to the supersonic airliner being researched by European Airbus and American Boeing.

In the future, the hypersonic airliner will directly enter the outer atmosphere after takeoff, and then re-enter the atmosphere. The time from Baghdad to the capital of China will be shortened to only half an hour, and it can fly to every corner of the world in one hour.

As soon as this airliner appeared, it immediately attracted orders from a large number of airlines around the world. This time, no airline was watching.

Because the future science and technology group can build spaceships, the outside world naturally trusts in the construction of such a hypersonic passenger plane.

The most important thing is that this kind of high-end aircraft has a huge market share, and the industry has just started, so everyone wants to seize more profits.

Although the cost of future airliners is not cheap, with each aircraft selling for as much as 400 million US dollars, on the day of the completion of the test flight, more than 300 orders were received from major airlines around the world, and they were still preliminary orders.

And after the orders of the world's major airlines, there are hundreds of private orders from all over the world.

In particular, the oil tycoons in the Middle East Federation have almost one of them, and the custom-made passenger planes are as high as one billion US dollars each, but the supply is still in short supply.

Because although this kind of airliner is a large fixed-wing aircraft, it has the function of vertical landing and take-off. As long as there is a flat place, it can take off and land.

Moreover, Future Technology Group also has professional pilots who can be employed by the owners of these aircraft to be responsible for the driving and maintenance of the aircraft.

Because of this, this super airliner, which can fly around the world in an hour, has suddenly become the new favorite of all billionaires, just like sports cars and beauties, jewelry and handsome men, they are extremely popular.

Of course, this is also in line with Future Technology Group's consistent quality and service-first attitude, which has won the trust of the world.

But there is another important point, that is, as long as the money is handed over, the aircraft can be delivered within three months. This efficiency is the reason why so many buyers are attracted, especially individual buyers.

As for Cai Ruichen who brought all these changes, it can be said that he was not high-profile at all during this year.

The Middle East Federation is developing in an orderly manner, and all plans are being implemented smoothly, so Cai Ruichen doesn't need to worry about it at all.

And during this year, Cai Ruichen was not really idle. The war in Indonesia required his attention, and there was less than a year left in the time agreed with the overlord. He was also desperately trying to improve his ability.

In the past year, Cai Ruichen has been constantly squeezing himself every day, pushing himself to the limit every day, day after day, week after week, never stopping.

At the same time, the Red Police Corps has also achieved sufficient development during this year. The construction of the eight main group armies has been fully completed, the rust removal of the new batch of garrison troops has been completed, and brand-new weapons and equipment have been installed in the troops. The Middle East Federal Guard The combat effectiveness of the garrison troops is rising in a straight line.

What really makes Cai Ruichen look forward to is that with the one-year space mining layout, the daily fixed income of the base has reached the task requirements of super technology authority, reaching 500 million US dollars.

The base also gave him the best New Year's gift, and entered the review stage for the completion of authority tasks. Tonight happens to be the New Year's Eve of the Middle East Federation, which is the same day as New Year's Eve in his hometown. Tonight, Cai Ruichen's authority in the base will be closed to a higher level of authority.
