part 2 - The Blockchain And Three Days Of Fire

Battle for the airport

The Fourth división soon divided in ranks and brigades. With representatives in each part of the world creating their own brigades by city and even by country. People were given actual military degrees and soon the army became self sufficient adopting a system of online crowdfunding. This organization improved with time with commanders and generals arising and communicating with each other, planning the next movements of riots that were now becoming an united front in all cities.

This was the actual mobile and physical force of the Blockchain army that would appear in the streets. Nevertheless since most people in this groups were noobs and barely had any training they were usually compared in memes with the actually stormtroopers of star wars, with very low accuracy at aiming and accomplishing it's actual objectives. They were becoming better with time though. They were dealing with soem issues though like for example discipline, most men in the army had beards which could fit inside gas masks so a massive delivery of Gillette razor blades began. Soon NATO sanctioned be company and kept it from delivering more blades butthe first division then started making artworks online of the company and mysteriously the blueprints and instructions of how to make those blades appeared online which made a new business online to thrive. Many suspected the owners of Gillette were behind of those new businesses and they kept delivering the razors using cryptocurrencies as payment method and distributing the product in anonymous supply lines which information was stored in Blockchain.

Meanwhile there were still lots of new publications of Three in her acting as Gurbia, her favorite character of Main Thrust, sharing content fromt the book. She was still at the airport in Ciudad de México

"Hello how are you doing, I've created some new copies of myself in all the places I've visited in Ciudad de México ,is always a race to make new copies before NATO and the grays delete those, now could you please create some copies of this nee poster that appears in the book of Main Thrust and share it online please and also paste it in walls

At that moment a company of Brazilian mercenaries arrives at the airport. They arrive in a good moment since NATO had arrived in force and were about to enter the perimeter of the airport, most invisible hypersonic planes that landed departed again with plenty of bullet holes in their fuselages.

Then Three takes a video of the planes as they land and are quickly downloaded

"Finally the Brazilian mercenaries we had paid finally arrived, we've been saved! Wow I admire the greed of those pilots, not everyone lands a cargo plane in the middle of a city in open conflict, keep sending them cryptocurrencies in Blockchain, just check the narco webpage in Blockchain to keep sending them money, this city will be ours!!! And soon a blockchain government will be installed"

There were some delays in the arrival of more invisible hypersonic plane since NATO security and air control around the city had strengthened and managed to identify and capture several cargo planes, but around 70% were still making it through. Brazilian mercenaries come down of the plane with their weapons already at hand and immediately advance to the area were NATO units were trying to enter the airport and proceed to take cover and start shooting.

They had an emblem in their arms and right below their shoulders, it was a cobra, the symbol of the cobra company of mercenaries, the most renamed company in Brazil and famous all around the world for their combats with insurgency groups of the Northern Federation in southern Siberia. There was saying right below that cobra 🐍 "cobras fumantes eterna é sua vitória"

Then still with bullets from NATO flying over her head Three sees the hour in her cellphone, it was 5:45 am Greenwich time and 10:45 pm in Ciudad de México. Then she goes to her personal hacking app and sends a worm to the control panel of the speakers in the airport. After a couple of seconds she establishes connection and puts the song "teeth" before coming back to shoot immediately. This song, already known for some there who had read the book of Main Thrust improves the moral of narcos, mercenaries and businesses owners in arms, even if they had not heard it before.

At the same time NATO intensified it's campaign burning those posters as well as any other information that was not stored in digital format, like in papers. It was an imminent threat since until that point 99% of all the information was stored in digital format. NATO maintained a carefull control on the production of cellphones, computers and any other digital tool in the internet of things, there were modifications in all those devices including premade glitches and bugs that made it possible for the organization digital police forces to intervene even the most secure systems. This had allowed NATO to keep total control on what people was able to see and read for a long time and not only that but they were also able to modify the information whenever they considered it necessary. All this effort to keep control had been effectively been avoided with the simple solution of using paper.

The old printing machine of Gutenberg was trendy once more and many Blockchain black markets were selling the latest medieval designs again for people to enjoy. And this market because such a bull race with investors getting a 300% of earnings in their revenue.

With the slogan: modern problems require medieval solutions

As soon as people started using paper and old printing machines again as their main way to store information the Antartic Organization now focused on preventing people from keep doing so, without the Neuronal Network and the widespread use of descentralized technology for the first time in centuries information was being shared among peers privately. For this reason NATO increased the production of propaganda and new reports online appeared offering supporters rewards for gatherig the last copies of Main Thrust and any other physical book that had survived NATOs campaigns of burning books along the centuries to dispose of them once and for all. By this point storing informaion in paper was no longer a minor crime anymore but a serious reason to be sent a couple of weeks to a reeducation NATO center for cringe, nevertheless this was just another excuse for the coutless arbitrary detention that had been taken place in the streets and still continued.

The squadrons of firemen (as seen in the book of fahrenheit 491) were restablished after centuries of being put out of action and were once again burning publicity in Ciudad de México, also posters of Main Thrust, physical books whenever they were able to find some, images of Blockchain in wallpapers, graffitis, and basically all pieces of paper with any trace of color in them.

Meanwhile in Ulan Bator

Although NATO had ordered their soldiers not to use the device that sleep people unless it is ultimately necessary and in self defense many were still using those as their main weapon to control de riots. With an effective range of up to 10mts it was a serious deal to have into consideration, no one wanted to be close to a military policeman if they had one of those in their hands. But on the other hand it's use was making NATOs military police unpopular among the population in general.
