#287 - Find a way to replace it (2 in 1 order)
The magician analyzed in the live broadcast: "First of all, to get rich, you have to collect taxes, right?"
However, if taxes were to be collected, the various levels of officials in Chad simply wouldn't be able to scrape enough together.
The magician clicked the [Talent Recruitment] button, only to discover that because of this barren land, the average education level was less than a drop-out from prenatal classes.
Therefore, the method of recruiting talent was also quite special: simply giving up.
That's right, literally giving up.
The magician thought about the resources and budget he currently had on hand, and decided to hold a cross-tribal arena competition to attract talents from all sides; only those who performed well in the competition could join the national governance.
During the arena competition, the magician went to watch a match and found the whole thing chaotic, much like an ancient martial arts tournament to find a spouse.
But in the end, through this method, he recruited many human-like creatures into the governor's mansion.
After these people were recruited, they were lazy and gluttonous in the governor's mansion every day. After a series of operations, not only did they fail to alleviate the financial pressure, but they made the country poorer and poorer.
The magician had no choice but to consult Tombalbaye and use the Great Father Summoning Technique to ask France for help.
So, this black fatty set off for Paris without saying a word.
In de Gaulle's office, Tombalbaye burst into tears:
"Brother, for the sake of our father-son relationship, give me some help."
De Gaulle looked down at the newspaper without looking up, and said coldly: "Get out."
Once the budget went to zero, the game was over. The magician looked at the strategic buttons, which were grayed out due to lack of money, and felt extremely frustrated.
Just then, he discovered in the resource development module that there was an option he could click: [Resource Exploration]
The magician suddenly realized!
That's right! I can have these newly recruited officials all carry pickaxes and bamboo baskets and dig everywhere on the country's borders. Maybe they can dig up a gold mine or something.
After encouraging everyone to go mining, the game popped up a prompt:
[Virtual Reality Geology Gameplay Instructions: Players need to use the 3D observation function of VR glasses to observe underground rock formations and structures in order to find potential resource veins.]
He carried a virtual pickaxe and stood on the barren land with a group of newly recruited officials.
As the VR glasses' perspective switched, the streamer instantly felt as if he was in a realistic underground world. The rock formations and geological structures in front of him were clearly visible, as if he could hear the subtle vibrations of the earth's crust.
The magician saw the layers of rocks piled up in front of him. Through the glasses, he could observe the color, texture, and density of each layer in detail. He noticed an unusual area where the rock color was deep, as if it contained potential resources.
This gameplay tested the player's observation and memory skills.
By adjusting the settings on the glasses, the magician saw underground oil veins depicted in front of him with a faint light. These lines intertwined underground.
The magician activated the virtual pickaxe, as if he could really feel the weight of swinging it. He began to dig into the rock formation in front of him, with rock debris splashing everywhere. The officials also followed suit, swinging their virtual pickaxes and digging excitedly.
As the digging deepened, a strong smell of oil permeated the air.
[Congratulations, you have discovered a large oil field within Chad]
The players watching the live broadcast praised one after another:
"Wow, this unique gameplay and perspective experience really can't be achieved with traditional monitors."
"Moreover, personally participating in mining while wearing VR gloves is extremely engaging."
Soon, the news that a large oil field had been discovered in Chad spread like wildfire, and even people in Europe knew about it.
De Gaulle directly summoned Tombalbaye to Paris again.
De Gaulle smiled:
"I will approve $20 million USD per year to directly cover 95% of your budget."
Tombalbaye excitedly shouted: "You are my eternal father!"
De Gaulle was equally proud. France's investment in the Chadian government at this time was comparable to an IPO subscription.
He continued to say to Tombalbaye with a serious expression:
"Of course, France's money will not be given for nothing.
Tombalbaye, your country needs to cede power to me, including full power over diplomacy, military affairs, and internal affairs, resource extraction rights, and even what to plant in the land must be decided by France.
You won't think 10% of the future oil profits is too little, will you?"
Tombalbaye shook his head like a rattle: "Not too little, not too little."
He didn't care at all how Chad would develop in the future. He was more concerned with how he could amass wealth more efficiently.
At this time, two little people appeared in Tombalbaye's mind.
One little person said: "We are in a very lucrative position now. We should exclude dissidents and drain the pond to catch all the fish, just like other African benevolent rulers."
The other said: "Okay, okay."
Of course, Tombalbaye's new and elegant policies only lasted for three minutes.
Tombalbaye entrusted the magician to begin sweeping reforms.
Because there was a budget from oil and French aid, many buttons on the main interface were selectable, but the inexperienced magician first discussed the core purpose of playing this game with the viewers in the chat.
Magician:
"Tombalbaye is just sitting on the toilet and not pooping. I should find a way to gain control of the country from this idiot.
However, if I directly send troops to overthrow him, my few retainers won't even be enough to fill the teeth of Tombalbaye's military police."
A viewer in the chat said: "How about governing by doing nothing?"
This sentence instantly gave the magician a jolt.
That's right!
The so-called governing by doing nothing means that the president doesn't do any of the right things.
I can completely use some clever operations to accelerate in reverse, so that the Chadian people drive this incompetent president off the stage.
So, the magician began to click the buttons on the interface to formulate a strategy.
He first helped President Tombalbaye promote a large number of fellow villagers and relatives to the cabinet.
And those who held dissenting opinions were swept away.
At the same time, the magician also deliberately created differential treatment. Under his series of clever operations, northern Chad was basically a discriminated region.
Of course, the magician was equally confident about this:
"You guys used to sell southern compatriots for money, right?"
In the following period, the magician set the policy for how to operate the northern border of this country:
"Barely acknowledge them as primates, their only mission in this life is:"
"The mission is basically to work in the fields."
"The treatment is basically on par with mules."
"The tax revenue must ensure that they are destitute."
"The suppression should be learned from a failed art student."
Under this principle, the magician sent a large number of officials to the north to plunder.
Anything that could be plundered within sight was never easily let go, and all was taken away.
Soon, under the magician's careful cultivation, the loyalty of the various tribes in northern Chad was directly deducted into negative numbers.
A game prompt popped up in front of him: [For the survival of the northern tribes, the natives of the north have formed a group and formed the "Chadian United Front".]
Very good!
The magician was smug in his heart. As long as the Chadian United Front marched into the capital and chopped off Tombalbaye's head, everything could be carried out according to plan.
However, plans can never keep up with changes. Soon, the magician heard their shouts clearly:
"Kill Tombalbaye, kill the magician!"
Good heavens, what does it have to do with me?
Helplessly, in order to protect himself, the magician clicked the [Military Button] to prepare to mobilize the garrison to meet the enemy.
Unexpectedly, the magician was surprised to find that Chad's military strength was surprisingly poor.
The equipment of the Chadian government army was obviously the remnants of World War II. Some soldiers wore worn-out camouflage uniforms, some even pieced together from different colors. The military boots were already worn out, as if they had experienced several world wars.
The soldiers holding various old rifles and machine guns looked clumsy, and some rifles even had mottled strips of cloth hanging on them, as if they were used to repair leaks.
The most recent novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba.
When the military vehicles roared past, he saw that the ancient jeeps and troop carriers were already rusty, and the wheels made creaking noises, as if mocking their poor performance.
The army's march was even more chaotic, with soldiers talking and talking as they walked, turning their heads to look at the vendors on the side of the road, as if they didn't care that they were performing a mission.
Many soldiers had numb and depressed expressions, lazily smoking cigarettes on the march, without the slightest tension or vigilance. Some even threw their military caps on the ground, completely disregarding their military appearance.
The streamer was dumbfounded.
Damn it, even the five-star generals of Country Garden are stronger and stronger than you guys. How can this be fought?
The facts were indeed as expected. Tombalbaye's army was constantly retreating on the war sandbox.
Seeing that their oil interests were about to be threatened, de Gaulle waved his hand:
"Tombalbaye, I will allocate 3,000 French troops to you to suppress the rebellion in the north."
Tombalbaye patted the magician's shoulder: "Bro, the burden of suppressing the rebellion is on you."
"Are you just trying to fleece me?"
The magician directly clicked the [Military] button and began to organize the campaign.
The game popped up a prompt:
[This game provides a battlefield dynamic map function. Players can use gesture operations to plan the country's development strategy on a virtual map and experience the ruler's perspective in the most realistic way.]
In the VR display, the magician's vision instantly switched to the French military headquarters. He felt the tropical climate firsthand, and the air was filled with the heat of the desert.
The internal layout of the French military headquarters was clearly visible, and the map marked the positions of the enemy and us. Through the virtual map, the magician could clearly see the formation and deployment of the northern Chadian rebels, as well as the French military's troop distribution.
He raised his hand and swiped a gesture in the air, and a series of instructions immediately appeared on the sandbox map, mobilizing French troops to launch an attack. The French army's tanks, infantry, artillery, and other arms began to mobilize in an orderly manner, as if a real battle was unfolding.
The screen switched to northern Chad, and the soldiers instantly appeared in the desert. They wore neat camouflage uniforms and steel helmets, and calmly waited for orders.
Suddenly, the war broke out, and the sound of artillery fire was deafening. The magician felt the ground seem to be shaking slightly, and shells whizzed past, raising clouds of dust.
French tanks roared past, quickly advancing, and the artillery fired in unison, leveling the strongholds of the northern rebels.
Warplanes streaked across the blue sky and dropped bombs, and the huge explosions echoed in the VR space. The magician seemed to feel the shock wave of the bombing.
The grand scene of the war was vividly presented in VR. The battle situation on the battlefield gradually became clear in front of him. The French army fought bravely, while the northern rebels retreated steadily.
The tragic nature of the war was realistically restored in VR. Smoke and fire filled the air, and the magician seemed to be in the battlefield, and could clearly feel the intensity of each battle.
After a fierce battle, the rebels of the Chadian United Front were defeated and fled, and the French army won the victory.
The live broadcast chat was filled with comments:
"This picture is simply exploding. The VR battlefield made my hair stand on end!"
"VR equipment is really different. I feel like I've become a commander!"
"Imagine if I could also fight a defeat in VR, laugh cry!"
"Wow, the streamer is so handsome. He deserves to be a history UP master. He knows the army of the last century like the back of his hand!"
"This war scene is so burning, it makes people feel like they can fight!"
"The realism of VR equipment is beyond my imagination. It's simply a miracle of technology!"
……
Of course, although the French army destroyed the main force of the northern rebels, the indigenous residents of the north were not soft eggs. If they couldn't beat them, they would launch sneak attacks, break them up into pieces, and fight a guerrilla war with the French army.
In the protracted war, the two sides dragged on until the beginning of 1965, and the French army came to their senses:
The original dispatch of troops was just to help temporarily. Why has it been helping for several years, and the more it helps, the busier it gets?
Using our soldiers to watch the stadium for Chad is a bit of a loss.
So, de Gaulle called Tombalbaye to Paris again and fooled him:
"Now, the north of Chad has been carefully cultivated by us.
Take advantage of the good situation now and send troops to take over. Our French army will withdraw to the south."
Tombalbaye, who could be an enemy of the country, had already settled the north, and he was excited and shouted: "Chad is not at odds, and the president will not settle in a corner. Send troops to the Northern Expedition!"
The Northern Expedition was quite smooth, and Tombalbaye quickly regained control of the northern region, but he did not understand what caused the northerners to resist.
So, President Tombalbaye patted the shoulder of the magician, his adjutant:
"Now that the world has been settled, it is time to carry out sustainable draining of the pond to catch all the fish. Bro, it's all up to your creativity."
The magician also wanted to provoke the people's dissatisfaction with Tombalbaye as much as possible in order to prepare for his own opportunity to take power.
So, the magician fully carried forward the spirit of the occupying forces, waved his hand, and prohibited the nomadic herders in the north.
At the same time, on the game's internal affairs interface, the streamer intimately designed more than 200 taxes for the people:
What head tax, breathing tax, drinking water tax, and even talking has to be taxed...
Moreover, he also quite generously restored corvée labor.
Under this virtuous government, it is impossible to expect the northerners to be peaceful.
In June 1965, a tax resistance movement broke out in northern Chad!
Under the magician's virtuous government, the northern forces that had been fighting on their own gradually united and joined the Chadian United Front.
They sat in Toyota pickups and shouted slogans excitedly: "We are united!"
The enraged northern tribes went all out, and with their showy combination of shoulder-carried RPGs and Toyota pickup trucks, they quickly repelled the southern army once again.
Even more, the Chadian United Front decided to go all the way, wanting to settle all the old and new scores at once, and completely take care of that kid, Babaye.
Thus, as the rebels charged like they had been injected with stimulants, the year reached 1969. Out of the hundred regions in Chad, only fifteen were still in the hands of Tombalbaye.
Tombalbaye and the streamer huddled in the governor's mansion, trembling. President Babaye gritted his teeth:
"It's time to use the Great Father Summoning Technique again."
