CNN news is playing on the TV screen.

President Bush went to Arlington National Cemetery to visit the grave and delivered a speech on the cemetery.

"In order to maintain world peace and to fulfill relevant UN resolutions, our soldiers fought bravely and defended our friends, Kuwait's territory sovereignty, and we believe that justice will win!" Bush's face was full of seriousness: "At the same time, we will also make the conspirators behind us pay the price!"

Looking at the bare war threat on the TV, Old John in front of the TV turned off the TV with a bang.

When the election was first elected, how did he choose Bush as president? Clinton said it very well at that time, idiot, the problem is economy! Bush, except for fighting, doesn’t know anything else!

The US economy has been declining over the years.

After the Afghan War, the Soviet Union was already obviously weakened. Europe had no worries and was increasingly reluctant to act as an ATM for the United States. Their intention to be independent was constantly increasing.

The large amount of manufacturing industries in the United States either went bankrupt or reduced in scale, or they would simply be transferred to third-world countries such as China and Pakistan for production.

The United States is becoming a country without manufacturing, relying on the developed financial and service industries to support the prosperity of the entire country. But how long can such prosperity last?

︽☆Long︽☆Wind︽

Think about France, which once became the richest country in Europe by borrowing.

But in the end, they became a second-rate power, and were almost defeated by the Germans in World War I. As for the beginning of World War II, they were directly killed instantly.

Could it be that the United States will become the second France in the future?

Many pessimists wrote in newspapers saying that although the Cold War will end with a comprehensive victory of the United States, the final profiter is not the United States. The United States began to decline before it flourished, and the dusk of the empire, hanging on the horizon, shows the prospect of the decline of this country.

The US economy has reached a precarious point.

In order to maintain the dominance of the United States, it is necessary to control the lifeline of the world economy. Oil is the key!

Although after Iraq withdraws troops, Middle Eastern countries increasingly hate the US military presence in the Gulf. However, the United States still insists on staying there because of this. Moreover, in order to completely curb the development of other countries, the United States must take various measures that can be taken, and use force to firmly grasp the oil in its own hands.

In view of this, attacking Iraq is not only necessary, but also imminent.

As long as Iraq's oil is in the hands of the United States as soon as possible, the United States will control more than 60% of the world's oil reserves. The next one is the bargaining chip. The United States can secretly incite oil companies to raise oil prices at will, causing global financial turmoil, and reshuffle global wealth.

Of course, the US economic pillar also has a strength in finance.

With financial leverage, the United States can also raise enough money to continue living in luxury.

Fortunately, the US dollar is the world's currency and can be manipulated at will.

A sharp depreciation will pass on the economic crisis to the whole world.

We must be poor, we will be poor together!

When the economies of other countries are destroyed, a large number of companies go bankrupt and lose competitors, the United States will slowly close the US dollar, make prices rise, and continue to use price differences to purchase large amounts of raw materials from other countries for national consumption.

This method has been very skilled in the United States and has been tried and tested.

If you want to control these, you need war! Only through war can you control the oil resources in the Middle East, maintain the petrodollar system, and ensure the economic foundation of the United States.

But now, although the United States has controlled Kuwait and has achieved its garrison in Kuwait, it is not very glorious. It was not their defeat. They suffered a defeat, but the Iraqis took the initiative to retreat!

Although the Americans claimed to have defeated the Iraqis and relied on military pressure to withdraw their troops, as long as they had the strength, it can be seen that the United States was as cowardly as the Vietnam War this time.

And what ordinary Americans feel is the continued deterioration of the economy.

Although there are UN resolutions and some Gulf tyrants sponsored by some Gulf tyrants, the United States still consumes a lot of funds, especially the pension for death in the battle, which is astronomical. Bush, who is unwilling to fail, did not withdraw his troops in the Gulf and increase his troops, which is another new expense. After all, the previous expenses could be reimbursed by Gulf tyrants, but the current expenses are no longer accepted by Gulf countries. What they hope is that the United States will withdraw its troops.

Huge expenditures will naturally involve all aspects of the United States. Needless to say, the sharp rise in crude oil prices caused by the crisis in the Gulf has brought the United States' oil prices to several new levels.

Americans like to drive large-displacement cars. As the dominant part of the free world, they enjoy the benefits of low-priced crude oil. Now, oil prices have suddenly risen, which has also led to a surge in oil-related industries, petrochemicals, etc. Coupled with the serious overspending of the government's military expenditure, it has led to a significant reduction in social welfare and other aspects. Everything shows that the United States is about to enter an economic winter.

Some small companies have begun to go bankrupt. Old John originally ran a restaurant in Manhattan and hired two Chinese chefs. In the name of Chinese specialty dishes, there were many people coming to eat. His usual income was OK, but now, the crowded situation has long disappeared. Many times, one or two people eat in the restaurant a day.

Now, watching Bush on TV making remarks, wanting to continue fighting in the Middle East, and looking at him, he still doesn't let go of the conspiracy behind him, as if he wants to fight with the Soviet Union and start World War III, Old John felt uncomfortable.

There are only one table in the restaurant today with guests. You know, today is a legal festival. At this time last year, the restaurant was full and there were still teams outside.

well.

Old John, who lowered his head, began to look at his computer.

Old John keeps up with the times. Just after computers became popular, he used computers to manage restaurants. The computers counted their daily income, purchases, inventory and so on intuition.

Now, his computer has been upgraded and has installed Microsoft's system. This system has a complete graphical interface and can even use a mouse to click.

Now, he opened the minesweeping game that came with it and clicked on it.

In the past, the dos was a letter interface, but now it has become a graphical interface. It also carries many games, especially this mine-sweeping game, which fully develops intelligence!

Old John ticked the mouse with his hand, and this time he had a good luck, so he suddenly opened a large piece.

The rest is going to be tested little by little! Old John forgot all the unhappiness for the time being. When this restaurant still belongs to him and this computer still belongs to him, let's have a little more time to enjoy it!

Suddenly, a snowflake appeared on the screen in front of me.

What's going on? For a moment, Old John thought he was staring at the spherical screen. He had been watching it for too long, and he was dazzled. However, when he rubbed his eyes hard, he realized that it was not a problem with his eyes, but the screen was just being spent!

What's going on? Old John looked at the screen in front of him, and was refreshing quickly and frantically, which had far exceeded its ability to withstand it. At the same time, he seemed to hear a squeaking sound?

A burnt smell came out of the case. Oh no, the computer was burning!

At this time, Old John obviously didn't know that the virus that had been infected with his computer had already begun to attack!

Although his computer is not connected to the Internet, it is mainly used for restaurant management, and at most it is to play a stand-alone game. However, a few days ago, Old John's son came back and copied back a few new games with a floppy disk. The game brought back from the university computer room was already infected with the virus.

Just at 3:30 that afternoon, just a few minutes after Bush finished his speech, the virus began to attack.

In later generations, ordinary computer viruses only destroyed software and caused damage to users, just to rebuild the system, and some numbers were stolen.

But now, when the virus has not yet shown its power, the protection of the virus is not in place, and there are too many opportunities for the virus to take advantage of!

A few years later, when the CIH virus broke out, people realized how fragile their computer system was. The computer motherboard's forced OS invaded by the virus was damaged and could only be used after reupdating.

And now, this virus from Kevin's team is even more destructive.

He already has the ability of a genius computer hacker, and the inspiration of Mhamad, Kevin's virus was so shocking that when it broke out, it was a shocking world.

Today's monitors are all spherical CRT monitors, which only display some text in the Dos state. Later, in order to facilitate user operations, manufacturers such as Microsoft and Apple have released window systems, which have a more friendly graphical interface.

If the graphics are constantly changing, they have to refresh. The most advanced 14-inch color display has a bandwidth of about 3545mhz, and the corresponding maximum resolution is 1024x768. At this time, the refresh rate is only 60 Hz. This virus will automatically modify the display parameters of the monitor, with a resolution of 1280x1024, and a refresh rate of up to 85 Hz. In this way, a display with a bandwidth of at least 110mhz can be used.
