Chapter 272 Alice is still the same Alice
Alice sat in the chair, her memory still hazy, but she still used those eyes to observe her surroundings.
This was a corridor. She couldn't recall if she had been here before, but in her hazy memory, she had once wandered and moved through such buildings.
"Alice, come in."
Vera opened the door and called to Alice, who stood up from her chair and walked somewhat awkwardly toward the conference room.
The [Universal Stars Tower], located in the heart of Star City, consists of a 273-meter-high main building and two circular, 70-meter-high auxiliary buildings, and is the core location of the entire group.
Meanwhile, the conference room was filled with department heads from across the group.
"Don't be nervous, Alice. You should recognize many of them. They all remember you."
Alice appeared before everyone. Those seated around the circular conference table looked at her, some with tears in their eyes. Alice had been the dream of so many, the one so many wanted to follow.
But due to reality, Raffarin Loehr could only keep her sealed away until now, for a larger plan, for the truth of the future.
"Alice doesn't remember, but comrades in charge, please introduce yourselves."
“Saines Wright, head of the Space Exploration Department of the Cosmic Stars Corporation, you were the one who brought me onto this ship, little Alice.”
"Kelna, head of the medical department at the Global Stars Group, is responsible for biomedical development and clinical surgery."
"Ma Dehaiko, Head of Human Resources at Huanyu Qunxing Group".
"And me, and me too! Vera, head of the Technology Department at Universal Star Group, and Alice's most adorable student!"
“Rafis Yao, head of the Defense Department of the Global Star Group, remains your knight, Miss Alice.”
“Kareena Anna, head of the engineering department at the Global Stars Group, we’ve known each other for a long time.”
Most of the heads of the six departments were people Alice knew well, but the key to the problem was this unfortunate accident—Alice's amnesia.
"The problem is indeed very serious, but all the responsible comrades should trust each other, and also trust Alice and everyone else."
"Wait, Alice doesn't understand..."
"In summary, despite the various problems, the key point is that, Alice, our Universal Star Group unanimously supports the restoration of your power as leader."
"Eh? The leader? Alice?"
"That's right!"
"However, we still face huge problems, one of which is how to break the deadlock."
“That’s right, Rafis. Although the nations are fraught with contradictions, it’s not yet at a point where we can intervene. Amelansi remains strong. Although the new government’s many reforms have changed a lot, as long as it remains one of the leading industrial powers in the Old World, nothing can threaten it.”
"However, the conflict between the Luya Snow Empire and the Amelansi is becoming increasingly acute, and since the Lasvia Civil War, the new Lasvia Nation-State is not to be underestimated either..."
"Yes, Colombia is also a problem. Is the United States truly a United States? Its northern 'Iron Belt' and southern 'Cotton Belt' are fraught with conflict. Colombia lost the war with its southern neighbor, the Federal Republic of Texas, and borders the Canaanite Union to the north. Under the liberal system promoted by the second president, the market of the United States of Colombia is withering."
"Yes, that's how the world is. However, Alice thinks that if we're just waiting for it to collapse, it might not be long~"
Alice found herself holding a document, her mind racing. She almost instantly recalled the meaning of the words as she looked at the economic reports of Amelia and the booming stock markets of Brittany and Amelia. A word quickly popped into her head.
Capitalist economic crisis.
The myth of stock speculation in this era was like the wind blowing up a balloon in Amelia, Alice thought, looking at the report on the Amelia Hilla Stock Exchange in her hand.
Goods were produced in large quantities, but purchasing power did not match the quantity of goods. Coupled with stock speculation, Alice quickly remembered these things even though she remembered nothing else.
The socialization of production and the private ownership of the means of production lead to unequal distribution, making such an economy unsustainable. Just look at recent data, including production, prices, and sales volume...
In recent years, industrialized countries, led by America, have seen further increases in productivity and a large and abundant market for goods, but average wages have not increased significantly.
In recent years, thanks to its status as one of the few industrialized nations, Amerlane shifted its goods to overseas markets, thus avoiding a major crisis. However, with the industrialization of major countries and the implementation of import and export controls, Amerlane's exports have plummeted. But for survival, its businesses cannot afford to stop production…
If we do not expand overseas markets through war, we will inevitably face an unprecedented economic crisis, which will be the starting point of the revolution.
Alice addressed the crowd, "Alice believes that if their goods don't sell and they don't get paid, then the business will have to stop operating! Then there will be so many unemployed people! What do you all think if we did something... hehe~"
Everyone quickly realized that this was indeed the breakthrough they were about to face.
"I can only say that she is indeed Alice~ Even now, she is still Alice."
"Hum~"
Alice stood proudly with her hands on her hips, accepting the praise without any humility.
"Well then, let's get started. Also, Alice, Raffarin Lowe, and Alicia, do you remember them? They left you something."
"They... are very familiar, very dear, but Alice, I still can't quite remember them~"
“Is that so? Alicia is your mother, Raffarin Law, and she says you are her successor.”
“Mother, and the pioneers? Alice remembers.”
"Then let's go."
Vera held Alice's hand, and the latter secretly glanced at Vera. Although Vera tried her best to appear calm, she still occasionally showed a "so satisfied" expression.
"Calm down, calm down! Alice is so cute! Teacher, are you going to stay like this forever?! @!R!!"
Vera, who was brainstorming in her mind, almost went to the wrong place. In the end, she led Alice to an underground room.
"Go in by yourself, Alice."
Having said that, she opened the door and let Alice into the seemingly empty room.
