For Fang Zheng, capitalism is actually the easiest type to defeat.

Because their power is not based on ideals, morals, beliefs or the like, but on more practical interests - or in other words, capitalism has nothing but interests.

In the eyes of most people, the chaebols are very powerful. They own their own land, build the tallest buildings in the world, have technology beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and control every aspect of society. Whether it is politicians, the media or even the police, they have to succumb to them.

It seems that capitalists are indeed very powerful.

But in fact, this is just an illusion.

Because all the power of capitalism is based on material interests.

Once this foundation no longer exists, the capitalists will perish faster than anyone else.

Many novels describe situations like a zombie crisis or after a nuclear explosion, where wealthy people are overthrown by their own men. The once high-ranking young lady becomes a plaything of her subordinates, and the gangster boss who once had the final say becomes a low-level lackey who is beaten by his younger brothers.

There is only one reason for all this, and that is the wealth they possess has no value and will not bring any benefits in the post-apocalyptic society.

For example, why would the bodyguards endure the chattering and willfulness of the noble lady and serve her?

Of course, there is no such thing as faith, belief or loyalty. The only reason is that being her bodyguards pays a lot of money, and with this money, they can buy the house and car they want, get married, raise children or plan for their future retirement. To put it bluntly, both parties are a community of interests. They endure the capriciousness of the noble lady and get money to meet their needs.

However, when the demand supply chain collapsed and the waste paper in the bank accounts was no longer of any value, they would certainly no longer tolerate bowing to a little brat who knew nothing and was willful and arrogant.

Because there is only one connection between the two parties - the exchange of interests.

Once there is no exchange of interests, everything will collapse completely.

From a certain perspective, capitalists are worse off than cultists. After all, brainwashed cultists are really willing to sacrifice for their twisted beliefs.

But when the wealth and interests in the hands of capitalists have no value, no one will obey their orders anymore.

What Fangzheng has to do is very simple, that is to make them have no benefits and values.

Of course, simply digging up the dark history of the integrated corporate chaebols will not bring them down completely. Just like the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil, the so-called "public outrage", "protests" and "parades" can at most bankrupt them, and then they can start over with a new skin.

But Fang Zheng obviously didn't intend to kill the integrated enterprise chaebols just by this. In fact, this was just the reason he gave. It's like when people rebelled in ancient times, they had to first give a reason to raise a resistance army - such as "the blue sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established" or something like that.

When the news broke, the first thing that was shaken was naturally the financial market. The stocks of the integrated corporate chaebols fell to the limit, directly triggering circuit breakers. The bank accounts within the integrated corporate chaebols were also locked, and there was no way to transfer assets.

Indeed, the integrated corporate chaebols were very powerful, they even had their own private armed forces, and many Star Vein generations worked for them. As long as they paid enough, there would always be people who would ignore justice or moral conscience and work for them.

Well, the prerequisite is that as long as they give enough money.

But what if they can’t give the money?

Now all the accounts of the staff of the integrated enterprise chaebols have been frozen. Of course, it was not done by the integrated enterprise chaebols, but by Fang Zheng. He directly locked all the "wealth codes". When you can't withdraw money or use it to buy anything, the money in your account is just a bunch of worthless numbers. This is basically equivalent to the financial sanctions imposed by Fang Zheng on the integrated enterprise chaebols.

This is also the reason why Julis's brother and Stella's father sometimes encountered no resistance when they sent troops to directly seize the assets of the integrated corporate chaebols in their countries.

Without money, why should I work hard for you?

Once the interest base is removed, the strength of capitalism is just an illusory castle in the air, vulnerable to attack. Not to mention the invisible glass ceiling within the integrated corporate chaebols that prevents all the Star Vein generations from entering the upper echelons. Since the Star Vein generations cannot enter the upper echelons, then they obviously will not live and die with such a sinking passenger ship, right?

So, when the armies of the two countries rushed into the buildings of the integrated corporate chaebols with great momentum and demanded that they surrender, both the powerful Star Pulse generation and the fully armed and well-equipped mercenary forces chose to surrender.

What's the point of resisting? Even if you escape from here, your account cannot be used or opened, and you will not be able to gain any benefits. You will also be wanted for this - what a loss!

There is no emotion, no loyalty, no faith, everything is just a cold exchange of interests.

The power of capitalists is built on this, and it is also destroyed by this.

Because for them, there is nothing "worth sacrificing one's life for".

In other words, after the only thing they wanted to protect was frozen, there was nothing left.

However, this is also limited to capitalists.

This is why the United States always likes to use similar financial sanctions against other countries. Unfortunately, this method is only useful for capitalists, but for other countries, there are things that are more important than capital interests. And the facts also prove that although the financial sanctions of the United States have caused problems for many countries, they are basically ineffective and meaningless.

Of course, if he used this approach against Google and Twitter, the other party would have to kneel down in front of the White House and sing "Conquer" tomorrow.

However, the state and the capitalists are different.

Unfortunately, Americans don’t understand this truth.

Of course, considering the IQ of Americans, this requirement is a bit too high.

As the integrated corporate chaebol gradually fell apart, Fang Zheng was also busy integrating the forces in Academy City.

After these things were exposed, Claudia and Silvia immediately expressed their support for him on behalf of the Star Guide Hall and the Aoi Envy Girls' School. As for the Leiwolf Black School, it was in chaos. It was said that the students there had split into several factions because of these news. Now the entire Leiwolf Black School was like the world in the Fist of the North Star, with looting and burning everywhere, and various forces arguing endlessly.

Jielong still remained neutral and didn't bother to pay attention to what was happening outside. The Alekante Research Institute didn't react at all. As a purely academic research organization, they were most dependent on money. Therefore, after Fang Zheng froze Yang Xue's account, the entire Alekante Research Institute had fallen into a semi-paralyzed state.

St. Galedovus Academy was neutral at first, but later chose to support. The reason was simple, because most of the students in St. Galedovus Academy were sons of celebrities and politicians from all over the world, and many of them had their families or even parents secretly killed by the EP chaebol. When this news was exposed, the students of St. Galedovus Academy were immediately furious.

My goodness, are we accepting the thief as our father? How can we tolerate this?

Of course not...!!

So Saint Galletovas also chose to fight against the integrated corporate chaebols.

As for the fact that the Dawn Organization itself does not have any negative information, the reason is very simple - because they are not good enough.

The Dawn Organization was originally established after the Starfall Disaster. Its main goal was to create a Dawn Star Pattern that could be used by all Star Veins by referring to the spiritual equipment of the Bladebreaker. However, due to the slow progress of the research and the lack of outstanding results, it has always been a small transparent entity in the integrated corporate chaebol.

Otherwise, Jiujiu Sakuya would not have taken the risk to look for Fang Zheng.

And right now, the only thing Fang Zheng has to deal with is Pojun Academy.

Or rather, the Kurotsuchi family.

In fact, in Fang Zheng's opinion, the Black Iron Family is a bit like the Imperial Army. As companions of the Star Vein Generation, they in turn assist the capitalists in oppressing them. Of course, for the Felling Swordsmen, they do not consider themselves as the Star Vein Generation. Because in the eyes of the Felling Swordsmen, their history is long, much longer than the Star Vein Generation that appeared after the Star Rain disaster, so the Felling Swordsmen look at the Star Vein Generation a bit like the aristocratic family with a history looking at the upstarts who suddenly became rich in the countryside.

The only way to deal with this kind of guy is to break its backbone and defeat it completely.

This is why Fang Zheng is standing at Heitie's house now.

"The Black Iron Family must be destroyed."

Fang Zheng didn't even look at the trash lying on the ground, but stared at Kurogane Ikki in front of him.

"Does this have to be done?"

"Of course, the Kurogane family is a traitor who colluded with the Unified Enterprise Chaebol. They consolidated their position by suppressing the Star Vein Generation. But this is not without a price... Look, isn't the price coming now?"

"But if the Black Iron Family doesn't manage the Bladebreakers, the situation will only become more chaotic...!"

"That's right. The Imperial Army was quite attentive when it assisted the devils in maintaining law and order in the occupied areas, but it's a pity that it was meaningless."

Fang Zheng sneered and interrupted Kurogane Ikki's words.

"You should also know that the conflict between the Swordbreakers and the Star Vein Generation is deep. I don't have time to expect them to understand each other. Since the Swordbreakers think they are nobler than the Star Vein Generation, then I will tell them with facts - their era has passed. Either surrender or perish. The demise of the Black Iron Family is such a sign."

"Then...what about Ikki?"

Hearing this, Stella looked at Fang Zheng uneasily, and the latter raised his eyebrows.

"Kurogatane Ikki can marry into your royal family, but the condition is that he must give up his last name and the Kurogane family will not be allowed to appear again in the future. It's that simple. I have already talked to your father, and he agrees with my proposal. The same goes for Kurogane Jushizuku. She can find someone else to marry and then change her last name. You see, my requirements are not high... It's just that someone who is the head of the Kurogane family must be hanged, it's that simple."

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Stella's expression changed slightly. She certainly knew her father's character. If Ikki Kurogane was to marry into the family... the other party would indeed be willing to accept it.

But is Ikki willing to accept it?

“…”

Ikki Kurogane looked at Stella beside him, then looked at the door behind him, without saying a word.

Fang Zheng was holding a blood-stained sword and staring at him.

"Wife or dad, choose one yourself."

"But once you make a choice, you have to bear the consequences."
