The End of Technology - Chapter 268 Merciful Mountbatten

USA, Texas, Austin.

This is where Nissen Mountbatten really began to make his fortune, and it is still his home base at this time.

Ten years of operation have turned this city into the City of Light, and even the entire Texas is nicknamed the State of Light. This is related to the fact that Nissen Mountbatten spent a huge amount of money to operate it.

Rather than saying that this new generation of congressman who was born on a farm knows how to benevolent, it is better to say that he understands human nature.

He is best at capturing people’s hearts at the smallest cost, and can always make countless people fall in love with him.

This is a technical job, it can even be said to be a talent.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to seek the position of governor in Texas, it is not enough to raise huge amounts of campaign funds. Without Neeson Mountbatten’s nod, there would have been absolutely no chance. To put it simply, perhaps Nissen Mountbatten was not yet able to let whoever he wanted to be the governor, but if he didn’t want anyone to be the governor, then the other party would definitely not be able to become the governor.

This is almost impossible to happen in modern society, but it does happen.

This has something to do with the connivance of Dupont Le and many big bosses, but the personal ability of Nissen Mountbatten cannot be denied.

In the words of a well-known social activist, Nissen Mountbatten was very good at passionate speeches, and his seemingly impassioned speeches always had the power to confuse people – just like those mentors in the MLM industry who are good at deception.

Obviously this is not a positive evaluation, so the well-known social activist was directly listed as persona non grata in Texas. Considering the tough folk customs of the Texas people, this well-known social activist probably has no chance to be associated with Texas in his life. .

Of course, Nissen Mountbatten’s reputation in Texas was not achieved through speeches alone.

In fact, at least 80% of Texas residents are convinced that Nissen Mountbatten helped Texas seize the wealth of traditional economic powerhouses such as New York and California, allowing them to live a good life now. No doubt.

There is no way that these ten years have really been the same.

California, which is famous for its Silicon Valley, and New York, which is famous for its finance, are declining due to the transfer of technology and economic centers. However, the characteristic farms developed in Texas have suddenly emerged, at least economically, they have directly left behind the former economic powerhouse.

It is worth mentioning that in the past ten years, Nissen Mountbatten used his influence to exclude many technological seed companies represented by Monsanto and created a set of Texas’ own agricultural development strategies, which also allowed Texas to develop its own agricultural development strategy. There is no shortage of market for various agricultural products produced in Texas. At the same time, it has absorbed the service industry that migrated from the once economically powerful states, allowing the entire state’s economy to grow rapidly.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than changing the partner, but the effect is indeed very good. This probably also shows that all beliefs in this era are linked to interests.

In short, Nissen Mountbatten made life more comfortable for most people in Texas, and his support rate here is naturally higher.

As for other places that have declined in the past ten years, it must be blamed on the rise of China, but not on him. If you must blame him, just like that famous social activist, it would be best not to set foot on Texas soil in this life.

As Texas’ economy booms, its population has also shown explosive growth in the past five years.

In addition to the increase in births, many people are moving into Texas from other states. The capitals, Austin and Houston, are the most popular cities, and there are many towns and cities in need of manpower, which have also attracted many immigrants. The latest census shows that the number of permanent residents in Texas has reached more than 49 million, which is close to one-sixth of the current total population of the United States.

The rapid increase in population often brings about many social problems, but chaos does not seem to occur in Texas. In the eyes of Texans, this is also due to Neeson Mountbatten.

Also five years ago, at the initiative of Nissen Mountbatten, Texas began to implement a population protection policy.

To put it simply, it was a series of collective behaviors such as countless private companies and departments instilling the importance of population immigration in the space age, and relying on the relatively wealthy state finances at the time to implement all-round relief for the poor in addition to direct money.

Administratively, the government and private companies fund a full range of police and fire services for poor neighborhoods, and hire enough police officers with high salaries to ensure social stability in poor areas. Count all homeless people in the entire state and provide them with various re-employment assistance, including but not limited to the state government negotiating with banks to help them forgive a series of debts at the lowest cost.

For homeless people who have skills and are willing to accept re-employment, we provide long-term rent-free housing for one to five years to give them a chance to make a comeback. Even if there are bankrupts with lawsuits, the state government will help them with the lawsuit. If you go to another state, you won’t even have to file a lawsuit. As long as they are in Texas, the government guarantees their basic rights to a stable life and employment.

Of course, these rights come at a price.

Everyone who is helped will sign a cooperation agreement and become a pioneer in the future space age. To this end, they have to spend one day a week for training, undergo a physical examination every year, and even ensure that they will conceive offspring within a specified time and accept their offspring to study in designated public schools…

If you don’t want to, that’s fine. You will be directly deported from Texas. You can go wherever you like.

The funds invested by private companies that cooperate with the government will also receive corresponding returns based on the future choices of these people. To put it simply, it is still a pie-in-the-sky approach, but in this era of booming alien exploration, there are many companies that believe in this kind of pie, and this is enough.

After all, companies that can be included in cooperating with the government to encourage residents to develop can often make a fortune in the stock market first. As for whether this gameplay will lead to collapse in the future, it depends on the development process of the human space program. If you encounter a major setback, it may indeed collapse, because it means that these human resources may not be worth the current effort in the future.

But judging from the current situation, most people are still extremely optimistic.

No matter what, after the implementation of this set of policies, Texas’ population will maintain two-way growth in quantity and quality, and the society will be relatively stable. This is enough.

Accordingly, Nissen Mountbatten, who proposed and promoted these reforms, also became the spiritual idol of countless residents living in Texas.

More than ten years ago, when Mountbatten accepted the governor’s invitation for the first time and went to the City Hall for a dinner, he was excited to have a glimpse into the life of the wealthy class. But today, every governor has to take the initiative to visit him on his first day in office. After all, being able to become the governor requires the support of Nissen Mountbatten, and being a good governor requires the support of Nissen Mountbatten even more.

What else can be done?

Eighty percent of the members of the state assembly followed Nissen Mountbatten’s lead. Among the remaining 20 percent, at least 80 percent openly did not deal with Nissen Mountbatten, but secretly they were on the same side. On the battle line.

The heads of police stations and administrative agencies in various places have a good relationship with Nissen Mountbatten, and even 90% believe in the Illuminati. Let’s not talk about whether the governor has the courage to replace all these responsible persons. Even if he does have the ability to replace them all, most of the people below will only obey Nissen Mountbatten.

Not to mention that Nissen Mountbatten also controls the only company in the United States that has a franchise issued by China and can purchase N-series robots. After all, in order to develop industry in this era, N-series robots are almost a necessary product that cannot be bypassed…

It is said that many states across the United States are now yearning for the Texas business model, and even took to the streets to invite Nissen Mountbatten to lead them along the Texas path.

Every time something like this happens, it will be reported to the local media in Texas immediately.

Various videos and copywriting on Twitter are then put on TV and spread to thousands of households…

“Hey, look, our beloved Mr. Mountbatten is being pursued by a group of people again…”

At this time, such a holographic video was playing in Nissen Mountbatten’s office. It was a picture of countless New York State citizens taking to the streets, countless people wearing T-shirts with his face on them, and many people waving the Texas state flag. There were even red and white words printed next to the star of the state flag. A portrait of Neeson Mountbatten.

Nissen Mountbatten looked at the scene in the holographic video with a modest and shy smile on his face. After all, he couldn’t help but ask the people around him: “Hey, tell me, how can I succeed like this?” Where is the situation?”

Yoshida Bamboo looked at everything in the holographic screen in front of him blankly.

Of course he didn’t want to watch these boring things, but he had no choice. He was tied up and facing the holographic screen, and couldn’t even close his eyes. Because the strong black man next to him will always find a way to cause him enough pain to awaken his attention when he shows any resistance.

If possible, he really wanted to end his life and even went on a hunger strike.

But these two people in front of me are devils. They didn’t even care if he ate or not. After letting him swallow a biochip, whenever he felt weak to a certain level, they would tie him up and provide him with the nutrients he needed through infusion. It is said that this is the latest nutrient specially formulated for him, and it is very expensive.

This is cruel.

The feeling of hunger and dryness was always there, but it was impossible for him to starve or die of thirst.

What’s even more frightening is that Nissen Mountbatten and the black man next to him would eat in front of him every day.

They are all delicacies with a rich aroma, such as pan-fried steak, cream of mushroom soup, French-fried foie gras, seafood hot pot…

Just now, he finally gave in…

He was allowed to lie down on the ground and gnaw on a piece of spare ribs with a large piece of meat hanging on it. Really, he felt that it was a delicacy that he had never tasted in his life. This made him want to chew all the bones and then swallow them. Go down…but no, because the bones are too hard.

But unfortunately, he only took one bite.

In the words of the devil opposite the holographic image, this was for the sake of his stomach. His stomach, which had been hungry for 103 hours, was at its weakest. It was just right to eat just this piece of meat. If he ate more, he might not be able to digest it…

“Archbishop Mountbatten is asking you something. Mr. Yoshida, today’s dinner is a Texas specialty steak. If you still want to take a bite of that delicious and juicy steak, I suggest you think it through and answer Archbishop Mountbatten’s question seriously.”

“Mr. Mountbatten’s success is of course because, because…” Takeshi Yoshino said weakly, but the hunger that penetrated his will completely made him unable to concentrate. At this moment, the scene just now was still lingering in his mind. The deliciousness of root ribs…

“Because I chose the right master, Yoshida. Choice is really important for a person. More than ten years ago, my nickname was Cockroach. Do you know? At that time, the so-called big shots would not look at me seriously. , even giving me a look, I have to be grateful. But now, I have become a big shot in their eyes. Am I working hard enough? No, no, no, my master is working hard enough, and I am allowed to sit back and enjoy the results. Life. …it’s about choice.”

Neeson Mountbatten lit a cigar, and raised his feet on his expensive custom-made desk without any image. While shaking his big feet, he slowly explained to Takeshi Yoshino.

“Yes, yes, yes, choice is important.” Takeshi Yoshino responded weakly.

The human spirit and will are very strange things.

Although half an hour ago, Takeshi Yoshino was still determined to die, but the moment he lay down and gnawed on the bones, his spirit suddenly relaxed.

But at this moment, he suddenly didn’t want to die at all…

He still wanted to enjoy the delicious food just now, and even hoped to continue to enjoy it.

“So, you made the wrong choice, Mr. Yoshida. You could have been respected by others and enjoyed all the good things like me, so why did you end up like this?”

“Yes, you are right, Mr. Mountbatten, please give me another chance to choose.”

“Haha, okay, my requirements are not high. As long as you record a video and confess all the people involved in this attack, it is enough. You know, my master’s principles are different from mine. They are more I like to do something openly and openly. This is a Chinese idiom, let me think about it? By the way, the teacher is famous…

Of course, I can give you some tips on how to enlarge the video as much as possible when recording it. Name all your allies, all those who have supported you and had dealings with you, preferably those who are rich… Well, in short, this is an attack carefully planned by you, right? “

After hearing what could be called an explicit hint, Takeshi Yoshida was silent for a moment, then licked his lips and asked, “If I do this, will I be able to live well?”

“No, no, no, Mr. Yoshida, please don’t insult yourself! The master’s anger needs to be vented, and of course you can’t live. But I can guarantee that you can die with dignity. You don’t have to suffer any pain before you die, and you can even enjoy it. Super-standard delicacies, or everything you wish for before closing your eyes, instead of living like a dog like now… You can think more about it, there are really not many people who are as kind as me! “
