Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The world is very big, the universe is very broad, and it is destined that many joys and sorrows are not connected.

As the core area of ​​the Federation, the Central Star Territory is prosperous and wealthy. Because of the economic surplus, people are also willing to show some kindness and help those in need. This kind of kindness generated by wealth is like lubricating oil, reducing friction. and conflict.

"Unfortunately, the star field we are in does not have such conditions." A young man with short silver-gray hair stood in front of the background board and explained the current situation to his friends in front of him.

Behind him, on the wall of this background board, various statistical data are laid out, along with various explanatory texts and analyses. Judging from the labels, it should be a comparison of the northwest star fields and the central star field.

"As you can see, if the current economic trend continues, the economic gap between the Sulfur Star Region and the Central Star Region will only become wider and wider, and the population will continue to decline."

"It's a slow decline."

"So, what do you want to do?" Another young man in the room sat on a chair and looked coldly at his friend in front of him.

"You understand what I mean, Yade. We grew up together, have similar family backgrounds, and have many common experiences. You understand how I feel." The young man with short silver-gray hair pushed up his glasses.

"I hope to change this situation." He put his hand on the table.

"Mo Xun, how are you going to change? Are you going to rely on protests and slogans? Those are just tools used by politicians for show and cannot touch the core interests at all." He called out the other party's name.

"Of course I have some clues before opening this conversation with you." Mo Xun pressed his glasses lightly with a confident look in his eyes.

"As you know, since I graduated, I have worked for the top giant enterprise 'Echo Valley' Asset Management Consulting Company. In the past few years, I have understood the logic of a large number of capital operations, and I have also understood the current situation of the Federal Central Congress. Weaknesses.”

"The public believes that federal economic designation policies are based on the poverty of each region or are formulated with noble purposes."

"However, the truth is that many economic policies are formulated simply to satisfy and balance the interests of all parties."

"Today, when the development of science and technology is gradually becoming slow, there have been no impact changes from new industries, new industries, and new fields for a long time. The old industries have gradually entered a stock environment. To put it simply, if he eats more, you will have less. have a bite."

"In the most common suspended vehicle industry, if the federal demand for suspended vehicles is about 10 billion units per year, then Company A sells 6 billion units, and other companies' sales must be reduced by 6 billion units."

"Now two companies AB are competing at the same time. At first, their strength and production capacity are equal, but company A is in the central star field, and company B is in the remote star field. Even if their costs are equal, company A in the central star field is close to politics and As a business center, we can get more policy preferences and publicity resources.”

"Except for the other star fields where AB and Company are located, which are often hundreds or thousands of light years apart, the residents of these star fields have limited information channels for understanding other star fields. Most people are not highly immersed network users. There is no time to search for all kinds of news that has nothing to do with your life and work in the vast sea of ​​information.”

"Whoever can push their own brand information to the eyes of these star area residents can gain market share of these residents."

"And the Central Star Territory, which is the cultural center and political center, has a natural publicity advantage in this regard."

"After such a long period of time, you probably guessed the result. Company A must be victorious in the competition, and they can also use the central position of the central star field to spread their influence to other star fields in blank markets faster."

"With the market and more profits, they will also have more funds to improve and continue to expand the scale to reduce costs."

"If things go on like this, Company A will gradually devour Company B's market."

"This is the environment we are in today. Looking at the northwest star regions, they are all cheap and low-end industrial clusters. However, all high-end and high value-added industries will slowly move to the central star region and eventually abandon this land. "

"If the wages of workers in the core industries of society are not high, then the wages of workers in various industries that provide catering, entertainment, and services to workers in these core industries will not be high either."

"This is the source of poverty in many star regions in the northwest."

"Then why is there no such obvious situation in other star regions? Although the economy is not as good as the central star region, poverty is not so common." Yade asked.

"Why, Yade, don't you know very well? Recall the past of our grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's generation." Mo Xun moved the panel in front of him, and the background wall behind him changed, showing a new picture. They are corporate names that have disappeared in the past one after another.

‘White Curtain United’, ‘Ax Dynamics’, ‘Volcano Heavy Industries’, ‘Eagle Safety Matrix’, ‘Snow Bird’, ‘Cui Song Wind’…

These were all giant companies that were active in the northwest star regions. They once controlled huge capital and power, and were once the mainstream forces entrenched in the Federal Central Council. However, with the end of the civil war four hundred years ago, these companies were either Split up, either be merged or acquired, or have their patents confiscated, and then decline.

"During the civil war that year, the Federation was roughly divided into two parts: east and west, and the star field we are in is the core area of ​​the defeated side."

"Because of the failure, many powerful forces were liquidated, including these giant companies."

"Without the support of the core industry, the economy will naturally continue to decline. Because of the weakness of the economy, it is difficult to get a voice in the central parliament. After all, those politicians only speak for those who give more sponsorship."

"Even if the economy of the southeastern star field was not good at that time, because of the merits in the civil war, some new industries and large enterprises will be allocated to help maintain the local economy. The most typical example is the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field. As the production base of the new fleet at that time, a large number of military enterprises were stationed, which made the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field develop rapidly during the war."

"Then, in order to thank the residents of these star fields for their dedication and sacrifice, the Federation will allocate funds every year to improve the local climate environment and make up for the pollution and sequelae caused that year."

"But who would have thought that our star fields also paid a lot to support the war back then, and many places are similar to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field. Like the star field, the environment is destroyed and the pollution is serious. "

"It's a pity that we are the defeated party, so we are not pitied and not valued."

"No one wants to be born with sin, and no one wants to suffer poverty for such a long time. Even if it was a mistake back then, I think four hundred years of punishment is enough to pay it back. Those predecessors who made mistakes back then have also been tried and dealt with."

"What do those people in the Federal Central Council think of us?"

"Are we brothers in the same family, or children of former enemies? If they treat us as brothers, why do they turn a blind eye to our long-term suffering! If they treat us as children of their enemies, why should we be so respectful and recognize them? Are we born humble?" At the end, the voice was trembling with a little emotion that had been suppressed for a long time.

...

The room was silent for a few seconds.

"You have changed, Mo Xun." The black-haired young man looked at his friend on the stage.

"You used to be very elegant and easy-going, but I have a bad temper."

"Now it's the other way around, right?" The short-haired young man on the stage took a beer beside him, opened it, took a big sip, and then let out a long sigh.

"Yes, I have changed." He squatted down and rubbed the beer can between his fingers.

"I don't know how to explain it specifically. You can understand it as a smart egg who feels good about himself going to a brighter world and finds that he is just a clown who can never turn over."

Yade shook his head, "After all, you graduated from a prestigious school, and the company you work for now is also a well-known giant-" He was interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking.

"Enough, these things are just the simple and ignorant views of outsiders, just like the lie that 'getting into college will make life happy'."

"The various problems in life cannot be solved by getting into college, and many cruelties in reality cannot be solved by being smart." After saying that, he drank the rest of the beer can, threw away the can, and sat on the steps.

"I thought that after spending a few years together in college, I could slowly integrate into their group, but in the end I found that it was just wishful thinking. In fact, the more I tried to please them, the more they looked down on me, just like a dog."

"Ah..." In response, Yade stood up, walked to his side and sat down, gently patting his vest.

"You never told me this before. I always thought you were very happy studying in the Central Star Region. When I was training and studying in the military academy, I also encountered similar exclusion incidents. At that time, I didn't want to affect my friends' mood, so I kept it to myself and didn't tell anyone."

"They are both very stubborn, haha." He said, and laughed at himself.

The two sat in this empty room, silently drinking the beer they brought, occasionally clinking glasses, and the empty cans on the ground gradually increased.

An hour later, Yade threw the last empty beer can into the trash can, and then returned to his chair and sat down.

"Now that you've come to this point, you're not just complaining to me and venting your emotions, are you?" He looked at Mo Xun who was leaning against the wall.

"I'm looking for more than just this." The short-haired young man stood up, shook his dizzy head slightly, then walked to the podium and swiped the operation panel.

"I said before, I want to change the current situation. This is not just my idea, but the idea of ​​more and more people who are gradually realizing the truth."

"Just like the public opinion storm after the singer was assassinated not long ago, we contributed to it."

"Then you are really bold, aren't you afraid of being caught by the people of the Tribunal?"

"Why is it so crude, are you underestimating my brain?" Mo Xun expressed dissatisfaction.

"We will not be so stupid as to start all kinds of protests. This is too crude and easy to expose."

"Now it's like walking on a road full of firewood. We only need to ignite a tiny flame in the corner to cause a raging fire. This is not because we are strong, but because the foundation of the times has been built, just waiting for a brave person to ignite it."

"It is not us rats in the gutter who made the choice, but the result of the joint choice of many people who have the same experience and experience as us."

"That's right, it's not us who manipulated and triggered all this, but the times chose us, and we have to complete this inevitable cause."

"We must let the Federal Central realize our importance, and we must break this unequal situation in order to appease our unwilling and angry hearts."

"Really?" Yade pressed his cheek lightly with his fingers, so that the other party could not see through his expression.

"What if I say that my thoughts are actually more radical and crazy than yours."

"You have too many childish illusions about struggle, and I think that since the struggle has begun, you must abandon any gentle illusions, which will only make you hesitant and lose your deterrence."

"In the past two years in the Central Third Fleet, I have seen far more truth than the information released by the outside world. Do you think that as long as the matter is made bigger, the Central Council will have to hold its nose and admit it?"

"Too childish and naive! With the fleet and combat power controlled by the Federal Council, even if one of the six fleets is dispatched, it will be extremely easy to push through the entire northwest star field."

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table either. Once someone issues a notice, there will be people vying to sell you out in exchange for opportunities for promotion and defection."

"Under such circumstances, your so-called threatening protest can only be reduced to a joke, and the Federation will never set this precedent." Yade shook his head.

"I know, Mo Xun, you should be representing some organization to win over me. After all, there are not many young people like me in the Northwest Star Territory who have entered the Central Fleet."

"It just so happens that I have the same idea as you. Because I stayed in the army, I met more young people who were like-minded and had the same ambitions as me. But after all, we are soldiers and are not good at business and government affairs. "

After hearing what Yade said, Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yade carefully.

"You saw my purpose from the beginning? And then you had the same idea? Why does this sound so coincidental that it's a bit-"

"It's a bit false, right? But like you said, we didn't make the choice, it was the times that chose us."

"Fire is sprouting everywhere. Maybe they have never met before, but sooner or later they will bump into each other."

"Should I believe you?" Mo Xun stretched out his hand.

"I think you have to believe me." Yade also stretched out his hand, and then the two of them shook hands tightly, as if two children who grew up together got to know each other again after many years.

Taking a deep breath and clearing his mind full of surprise, Mo Xun leaned against the wall, looked at Fa Xiao and his friend in front of him, and suddenly laughed.

"Yeah, if we can't even trust each other, then the world will be so sad."

"We're going to have a big game together this time."

"How big is it?"

"Big enough to make the entire Federation boil."

"can you do it?"

"I certainly can't do it alone, but just like when we shake hands here today, there will be many people silently supporting us."

…

"Yade."

"What?"

"The morning star has appeared."

"The key that everyone hopes and expects, the 'key' that opens all restrictions, appeared a year ago."

"Because of her birth, many people's silent and suppressed thoughts slowly sprouted."

"Our common goal now is to seize this 'key' and then use 'her' to open the door to the future."

"However, the 'key' you mentioned is guarded by the most stringent forces in this country, just like the princess guarded by a dragon. It is not easy for us weaklings to get close."

"Yes, that's right, but we must get this crucial 'key', no matter what the cost."

"Yes, no matter what the cost."

Yad sighed, and the two of them looked at the forms and pictures that crossed the screen, until the last figure of a girl with chestnut blond hair appeared in the projection.
