In short, economic interests and military advantages have let them make spider webs of military alliances. There, their main focus is to strengthen their own power and clobber competitors without mercy.
Social justice and/or global welfare are not in focus but out of focus. If and once the interests among the allied powers collide against each other, the conflict will be escalated and aggravated over time. Further, groundless rumors and double-dealings might lead them into much more brutal battlefield. Then, all the powers; domestic and abroad, regional, intraregional and international, will be inevitably indulged into the awesome total war.
Such a symptom is not unfamiliar in the earthly world. In actual facts, the past WWI and WWII happened with such and such reasons. Currently, the ongoing situation in the world follows in the same step of the past World Wars. Truly, all of it is the stern reality in the earthly world. Obsessed by the absolute power, the worldly-wide warlords have prepared for the new war and opened a new battlefield already. The battlefield has spread out beyond the horizon up as if it were the stage for their war dances. Thus, the stage has been expanded from one continent to the corners of the earth. In this way, their stage has reached out to the end of the four continents.
As a result, the huge Eurasian continent, the Latin America and Africa in the South also have become continental theaters of war like the Far Eastern Asia, the Northern America, or the Western Europe. Presently, innumerable soldiers of fortune are crowded at every nook and corner under the command of their ostentatious and colorful bosses. Here the bosses are like the legendary British figure Cecil Rhodes. Of course, they might be the reincarnation of his spirit or his sincere followers.
Actually the historic figure lived in the South Africa around the turn of the 20thcentury. There he made a great wealth with a diamond business. Then, he wanted to be the ‘African Colossus’or ‘Cecil Rhodes Africanus’as if he had been Übermensch of the humankind. (Below was his dignified pose in the cartoon of the monthly British magazine, Punch, 1892. Source: Wikipedia)
For this, he tried to make the world’s longest highway in history. The distance was the one from the tip of North Africa, Cairo, to the bottom of South Africa, Cape Town. So his work was to create the African Channel across the black jungle and the desolate death desert of Sahara. It was his dream. But the capricious Fortuna did not help him fulfill his colorful dream. Within years after his proclamation of the plan he died. He was in forties but his number was up. His great dream collapsed.
At his premature failure, younger but more ambitious generations felt chagrinned deeply. But they did not despair. Rather they, unlike him, are hellbent to unify the entire world beyond one continent. Then they are to be the ‘World Colossus’as if they were the almighty in the earthly world.
As a result, the world is becoming their hopping stage under the cloak of globalization. Then the blue satellite will be integrated as the ‘One World’ if and when another Übermensch beyond Cecil Rhodes appears in this 21stcentury. Then the segregated world will be literally the one globe.
The story is written, based solely on the author’s own gaga imagination. There cannot be any intention of causing harm or malice and/or misunderstanding deliberately. Talking of the story, he says it is not a period novel on the ‘Turf Fight for Power.’ Further, it is not a cloak-and-dagger or cloak-and-sword novel at all. Simply, it is an epitome of warlike competition on global product. The product is a horseless carriage but modernized one; automobile. Harmonized with recklessimagination + science +endless ambition, the economic novel is written and unfolded to be read.
Right here, the three factors will beget the long story and truths that reality obscures. Then, the unimaginable fiction will be changed into a real fact. In turn, the fact will be truths in this earthly world. And the truths will be a documentary. In the documentary, the protagonists play tag under versatile strategies and cunning tactics in order to get the absolute power and popularity from the earthlings. Dedicated to shiny and plausible Platonic catchphrases, they are now to write their peacock-like, pavonine stories.
Even now, they are hellbent to ski down Mt. Everest in order to print their names and their fames in this Heroic Age as if they were the daring Alpine skiers or the most aggressive but greatest generals in history. Clearly their youthful dreams will be realized as a dramatic but real story in the farther future.
Of course, it might be an exciting and dynamic drama that is to be burnt into the world people’s mind. In the drama, we, as the audience at the theater, meet American gunfighters, Japanese samurais, European knights, Asian machismos; so-called late-blooming Korean and Chinese he-men, Indian moguls, self-proclaiming Russian boyars, other dark horses like David to compete with Goliath.
But, in this drama, there is neither national border nor military demarcation line at all. It is a faceless, soundless and borderless battlefront like in the fighting of the James Bond series. However, it is not a James Bond series at all. No, it is not a Die Hard seriesperformed by hard-driving stage talents such as Bruce Willis or Tom Cruise and the like.
Rather, it is an amphibious titanic struggle far beyond the Battle of Kursk in WWII between the Nazis and the Soviet Union. Yes, it is a huger and greater War than the Napoleonic Wars between Napoleon Bonaparte and other allied European monarchs. Like them, the current warriors are all activists to shape history. Indeed they are far from ‘carpet knights.’ By all accounts, they are possessed of first-class brains, unquenchablefire, and phenomenal speed.
Also, they are spectacularly brave, still charged with vigor and vitality. For the reason, they are all fascinating and flamboyant protagonists who are armed with their horseless chariots with colorful logos. Moreover, they are publicly confident, boastful and immensely popular to the world people as real handshakers.
