2275 [Reversal Again]
August 20th, afternoon.
Xia Tian was at home with Wang Qixian and Lin Qingxia was cooling off.
The three of them were basking in the sun while chatting casually at the swimming pool.
"Hey, can you explain to me that since you want to bask in the sun, why do you need to apply sunscreen oil?" Xia Tian couldn't help but ask with a smile when he saw Wang Xiaoxian reapplying sunscreen oil.
Lin Qingxia was stunned by his question. Wang Qixian was also stunned and blinked, not knowing whether the sunscreen oil should be applied or not.
"Yes, why?" Lin Qingxia asked curiously, "What do you think is going on?"
Xia Tian smiled and told the reason.
They like to bask in the sun now, and are influenced by Europeans and Americans.
The reason why Europeans and Americans like to bask in the sun is actually to show off their wealth.
Because in the 19th century, Europe had basically achieved industrialization, and people were busy in factories from morning to night. Only a few rich people had free money to take vacations, go to the suburbs for picnics or go to the beach.
Because you go outdoors, it is easy to tan. Therefore, wheat-colored skin exposed by the sun is regarded as a symbol of rich people.
This aesthetic has been passed down, which made later Europeans and Americans regard tanning as beauty. They even developed sunbathing machines and artificially sprayed skin tones. In "Friends", Monica and Ross went to a skin-spraying club.
Because Chinese people have been mainly agricultural society for thousands of years, most people can show off this kind of bronze skin. This skin color is not rare.
Rich people spend most of their time in the house and don’t have to go out to work, so they won’t tan and look much white. Therefore, in China and the areas radiating from Chinese culture, whiteness is beautiful.
Europeans and Americans like to do things like sunbathing, while Chinese people don’t like to do it. Wind, sunbathing, rain, and severe frost and scorching sun are all idioms that describe difficulties and hard work.
However, because Western economy and culture have been very strong in the past century, it has affected many habits of Chinese people.
Bathing in the sun, a popular way of life and vacation in Europe and the United States, has also been popular among Chinese people. However, the traditional aesthetic concept of white as beauty is also deeply rooted, so there is a contradictory thing like wearing sunscreen to bask in the sun.
...
After hearing this, Lin Qingxia and Wang Qixian were both stunned, looked at each other, then grabbed the fruit at hand and threw it towards Xia Tian, "Hate, you are such a superficial person."
Xia Tian hugged and hurried away. When the bustle was happening, the maid suddenly walked over with the phone, "Master, phone number, Mr. Turner called."
"Okay, let's stop making trouble, let me answer the phone first." Xia Tian begged for mercy to the girls, and then answered the phone. After hearing this, his face immediately collapsed.
"What's wrong? Brother Tian, what happened?" Wang Qixian asked with concern as soon as he saw it.
"Yes, Ah Tian, what's wrong?" Lin Qingxia also asked hurriedly.
"The Security Committee of Su Lianhe has sent troops." Xia Tian sighed.
He had just spoken with Soros in the morning and said that the Security Committee would not be so bold and could not actually send troops.
But he just received a call from Ted Turner. According to information from Kurchatov, the Security Committee had mobilized its troops to arrest Ye Liqin and others who were hiding in the parliament building. Gunshots had already been heard in the city, and military vehicles and armored vehicles were dispatched.
Because the scientific researchers were not on the scene, they didn't know how the matter was going, and they didn't understand the situation of Ye Liqin and others. However, as soon as the fire broke out, according to the power comparison between the two sides in Mocho City, the Security Committee would still have the upper hand. So Ye Liqin and others might be really going to stay here.
Once the Security Committee really suppresses Ye Liqin and others, their political affairs will likely be successful. At that time, he will never have the opportunity to make a fortune by taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The future development of the world will also be very different. The shift of the timeline will cause the memory in his mind to depreciate significantly. For him, this loss is at least a few trillion US dollars, so how can he not be nervous?
...
"Brother Tian, don't be anxious. Even if they send troops, they may not be able to catch people." Wang Qixian quickly comforted.
When watching the Soviet political news that day, Xia Tian had already analyzed the interests with her. So she knew that the success of the Soviet political party was very important to Xia Tian, and it was related to the gains and losses of trillions of dollars.
So now that she heard that the Safety Committee sent troops, she immediately realized that things were not good and hurriedly comforted Xia Tian.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Qingxia was confused when she heard this, and she didn't understand the mystery of what Xia Tian and Wang Qixian were fighting.
Xia Tian briefly told the matter and then asked, "Do you understand?"
Lin Qingxia blinked her eyes and nodded awkwardly, "I understand."
In fact, she still didn't understand it very much. Ye Liqin, Yazov, and Sky, a series of foreign names made her dizzy. She couldn't even tell which one was, let alone their camp division.
"Simply put, if the Security Committee controls Ye Liqin and others, then this political situation will likely be successful, and the situation of the two powerful people fighting for hegemony will continue in the future.
If the Security Commission cannot control Ye Liqin, then the Soviet Union will likely disintegrate and the whole world will usher in a new situation.
For us, the collapse of the Soviet Union is the most beneficial, is it clear?" Xia Tian knew that she didn't understand, so he simply analyzed the pros and cons.
"Oh." Lin Qingxia finally understood something now, "Then it has sent troops now, isn't it very dangerous?"
"It's true, so I hope Ye Liqin is lucky, and I hope his supporters can stand up and resist bravely, otherwise it will be really troublesome now." Xia Tian nodded and said, "Okay, don't bask in the sun for now. I want to go back to my room to watch the news."
"Yes." Lin Qingxia and Wang Qixian also followed him back to the room.
...
After the Soviet Security Committee mobilized troops to the Parliament Building to arrest Ye Liqin and other Russian leaders, and caused a fire exchange, it immediately caused an uproar.
People also know that once the fire really starts, even if Ye Liqin has the support of the people, it will be difficult to fight against the troops.
Once Ye Liqin and others are arrested, the politics will be successful this time. At that time, it will have an extremely far-reaching impact not only on the Soviet Union, but on the whole world.
