On February 1, 1847 in the global calendar, after the friction between the Daxia Navy and the Citizen Navy, the two sides entered the Cold War period. In the blink of an eye, three years passed in an instant.
In the past three years, great changes have taken place in the world. Let's start with Daxia. Two years ago, Daxia's economy reached the level of the world's largest economy. After several years of development, Daxia's The total economic volume has reached 7 trillion, and last year’s tax revenue reached 1.47 trillion, which is 510 billion silver coins higher than Citigroup’s 480 billion US dollars.
The world has undergone tremendous changes in three years. However, due to the tripartite confrontation between ASEAN, the Western Alliance, and the Red Alliance, the world has been in the Cold War period. There has been no war, but only small-scale frictions. For example, Citigroup has targeted the oil countries in the Middle East. Petroleum steals oil from China. Such actions have attracted the attention of ASEAN.
There is also Tsarist Russia. In the past few years, Tsarist Russia has focused on development. Its military strength is close to that of Citigroup and Bactria. It is no longer much weaker than Citigroup and is almost on par because Tsarist Russia is at its peak at this time.
Su Yu has devoted his whole life to the Great Xia Kingdom in the past few years. Now that the New Year has arrived, he took Zhang Hu walking on the streets of Yanjing. Su Yu was very satisfied when he looked at the very modern city.
Last year, the fiscal revenue of Yanjing City alone was as high as 102 billion, which was higher than the fiscal revenue of most countries in the world. The total tax revenue of the five first-tier cities in Daxia was 460 billion silver coins, which was simply frighteningly high.
Because it is an economic entity connected with ASEAN, Daxia's economy has developed extremely rapidly in the past few years. Even now, it is still developing at a high speed. According to the Ministry of Finance's calculations, in about a year and a half, Daxia's total economic volume will be It will surpass the 10 trillion mark and make Daxia the main body of the global economy.
As for scientific research, Su Yu has invested 30 million reputation points over the years. Various types of advanced weapons have emerged in endlessly. Daxia's scientific research bases have expanded from the original eight to 19 now, with more than 1.8 million scientific researchers, and are in close cooperation with first-class universities. Work closely together to teach practical talents.
"Chief."
Zhang Hu looked at the scene on the street and smiled, "This is the peaceful and prosperous age we enjoyed in Shanglu!"
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Su Yu said with a smile, "We are still far from peace and prosperity. The Western Alliance is constantly targeting our Great Xia country. Now the Cold War atmosphere is getting more and more solemn. We don't know when the war will start, so It’s said that we still need to continue to work hard for the peaceful and prosperous age we envision in our hearts!”
"How's your Ministry of Homeland Security doing lately?"
"very good."
Zhang Hu responded, "The Ministry of National Security has established various national security departments such as investigation teams, action teams, high-level investigation teams, and economic investigation teams. In cooperation with local governments, it has been able to greatly curb the impunity of bad guys. After repeated attacks, various places have The security issues have been well resolved.”
"That's good."
Su Yu bought a bunch of candied haws on a stick and said, "The Ministry of National Security is the department closest to the people. We want the people to have their grievances redressed and justice to be dealt with. If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life, and if you break the law, you have to pay the price."
"clear."
Zhang Hu nodded and responded.
The two of them were walking on the street when Su Yu suddenly saw a newly opened luxury hotel. The decoration was very luxurious and there were many luxury business cars parked in front of the door. This made Su Yu become interested and face Zhang Hu. Said, "That's it, I'll celebrate your thirty-fifth birthday."
"Hahaha, thank you very much, Chief."
Every time Zhang Hu celebrates his birthday, Su Yu will treat him to a meal alone, because this has been the case since he was a child in Jinling. Zhang Hu is Su Yu's companion boy. On Zhang Hu's sixth birthday, Su Yu wants to make it come true for him. A birthday wish, and Zhang Hu's birthday wish is that every year on his birthday, Su Yu has to treat him to a meal. This meal lasts for more than 20 years. No matter when, Su Yu will fulfill Zhang Hu's wish.
The two came to the hotel. The name of this hotel is 'Yundi Tower' International Hotel. Its decoration style is Daxia style. It only has the third floor. In a place like Yanjing where land is very expensive, only the third floor is built. , you can see its background.
"welcome."
The waiter took Su Yu and Zhang Hu to a corner of the hall. Su Yu picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes, and also ordered a cake for Zhang Hu.
The two of them ate, drank, and chatted for about half an hour. Finally, with a happy birthday, the two of them were about to leave. But at this moment, Zhang Hu accidentally broke the plate with rice, and the waiter came over quickly. tidy.
"Sorry, we will compensate according to the price."
The two came to the front desk to settle the bill and paid for the broken plate. They spent a total of 388 silver coins. This price made Zhang Hu frown and ask, "How much did that plate cost?"
"300 yuan."
"So expensive!"
"expensive!"
The front desk manager glanced at Zhang Hu and said, "Now the price has been increased to 600 yuan. You have spent a total of 688 yuan. Check out!"
"Sit down and raise prices!"
Zhang Hu slapped the table and shouted, "What is going on? You are trying to blackmail me!"
"blackmail!"
The front desk manager glanced at Zhang Hu's clothes and said, "Not even a plate in your body is worth anything. Why am I blackmailing you? What do you have worth blackmailing me for?"
Su Yu was not in a good mood when the front desk manager said this. The emperor dared to carry out extortion so openly. Is there any law or justice?
"Hurry up and give me the money. If you don't give me the money, you won't be able to walk out of this door today!"
As he said that, a group of thugs suddenly poured out of the back hall and surrounded Su Yu and Zhang Hu, holding electric batons in their hands. The Longya special forces responsible for protecting Su Yu were about to rush in, but were stopped by Su Yu with a gesture. .
"hehe."
Zhang Hu sneered and said, "Under the emperor's feet, do you still want to hit someone?"
"We are reasonable people," the front desk manager, who is also an experienced person, said slowly, "If you break something and you can't afford to pay for it, you have to use each arm to pay for it. This is reasonable and legal."
“Reasonable and legal!”
Hearing this, Zhang Hu suddenly became furious. He was about to take action when he suddenly remembered that the chief was nearby, so he endured it. As the Minister of National Security, it was not common sense to take action on the street.
"Call me."
The front desk manager shouted, and more than thirty thugs began to surround Zhang Hu and Su Yu. The electric batons in their hands creaked. This news also reached the ears of Wang Wu, commander of the Central Military Region.
