Texas is an important energy producer in the United States.
It is precisely because of this transcendent resource advantage that this state has always been a bit rebellious.
Whenever something happens to the federal government, it will almost always use the word "independence".
In the past, this was just a means to gain profits.
But before was before.
Now, things are a little weird.
Five Texas mining tycoons secretly bribed the severely damaged Second Fleet. This information allowed Mr. Zhu to smell something unusual.
Isn't the Second Fleet the same fleet that was prepared to support East Asia when it invaded the United States?
This fleet later retreated to the coast of the United States.
Now it's been bribed by Texas tycoons.
And the tycoons in Texas are preparing to restart petrochemical trade with China!
It is true that China's recent momentum is too aggressive.
Texas is not prepared to go as far as the federal government goes.
I still want to make money, can I accompany you to the dark side?
Give me a break.
Do your federal government and the remaining states have such a large market and production capacity for me?
When there was heavy snow and power outages, other states still looked at this as a joke.
What’s more, animal protection came to protect the turtle at the speed of light? !
When there was heavy snow and power outages, people really froze to death!
Therefore, the people of Texas are not interested in the federal government and have been greatly disappointed with the United States in recent years.
Coupled with the huge profits brought by petroleum energy.
This federation, don’t wait!
With such a basic situation, Texas has a lot to do!
No, even the entire east coast states have great potential.
After all, China is their important sales market.
Since the defeat of the United States in East Asia, the number of trade between the two sides has plummeted due to various reasons. The eastern coastal states of the United States are also having a hard time.
At this time, if...
“There’s a lot to be done!”
In Bauhinia Pavilion, No. 1 gently put down the report in his hand, his laughter not obvious.
But Mr. Zhu, who is familiar with him, knows that he is very happy now and extremely excited!
"Yes, there is a lot to do here."
"Although with the help of the Wandering Earth Universe, we are not worried about technological threats from other countries, but on Earth, other countries can indeed maintain world peace by adopting a strategy of checks and balances."
Mr. Zhu raised his eyes and looked at the attic in the distance, and murmured softly: "Let's think of it as our kindness as human beings, leaving a big gift to the earth and our kind."
Peace.
For humans, it is really out of reach.
But if the countries on earth can achieve a state of checks and balances, at least there will be no more large-scale hot wars.
"Beijing occupies the peninsula, and Liben checks and balances, and Europe checks and balances with Mao. If the United States becomes two halves, the East Coast will definitely not let Europe go. By then, the three parties will end, and the balance will be firmly locked."
"Go south and use financial means to steal India's industry..."
No. 1 poured himself a cup of tea and spoke calmly.
By then, China will be completely out of the whirlpool and can rest easy!
Seeing that there was a tendency to cause trouble on the western coast of the United States, No. 1 simply deduced part of it.
The results were gratifying.
"Haha, it seems like we have to give some push to the West Coast issue."
Mr. Zhu heard what No. 1 meant, smiled faintly, held his hands and said:
"Leave this matter to me. I will immediately notify the Ministry of Commerce and put on a show for the other party."
"Well, Mr. Zhu, I can rest assured that I'll leave it to you, but you should also take care of your health."
"Come on, I, an old man, will have no regrets if I can see Emperor Mi go to accompany Big Brother in my lifetime. Hahaha, let's go!"
Mr. Zhu thought of something happy, smiled up at the sky, and stepped out of the door.
…
In early June, China’s Minister of Commerce called the US Secretary of Commerce.
The content of the call expressed China's goodwill.
The US Secretary of Commerce also responded politely and expressed his intention to cooperate.
But saying one thing and doing another is an old American tradition.
The U.S. Commerce Secretary said so.
But he can't take care of things!
Within an hour of the call between the two parties, the American pharmaceutical complex announced that it would stop selling various patent-licensed special drugs to China.
This is obviously a joint operation by the big capitalists on the east coast to allow the government to put pressure on the big eastern countries.
After all, although you are strong now, you cannot really ignore any international order.
If you don’t give in, I won’t even sell you any medicine!
If this matter had been left in the past, the big Eastern country would have at least found ways to ease the other side's mood if they didn't want to give in.
But now, the situation is completely different.
China showed goodwill and expressed its intention to cooperate. This is a drunkard's intention and not the wine!
Some red states in the central and east coast are originally dominated by agriculture. You don’t have to worry. Those new industrial parks on the west coast will die violently if there is no market!
When this big Eastern country showed its goodwill, the West Coast almost jumped for joy. The market is here and the money is back!
As a result, I turned around and was blocked by my own federal government.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.
When profits reach 300%, capital dares to trample on all laws and morals in the world!
This is no longer a question of profit, this is a question of life and death!
Deeply disappointed, some capital tycoons from the West Coast states quietly gathered in Texas.
Several tycoons met at a club in Texas in the name of a party.
"Fred has gone crazy. He wants to drag us into hell. My iron ore plant in Australia has almost reached the bottom of its losses!"
"Oil exploration in our state has stopped. We are no match for the low-priced oil in the Middle East!"
"We have to sell and transport the backlog of goods. My factory is losing money every day!"
"We have to do something, we can't go on like this!"
Since the tension with the big Eastern countries reached a freezing point, these big capitalists have lost their largest market and are extremely uncomfortable.
These guys, after seeing the profits, will really ignore them.
During the Pacific War of World War II, the United States and Li Ben were at war. The fathers of these people also dared to take risks and trade arms to Li Ben!
What's more, now? !
"Everyone, everyone!"
Finally, Manton stood up.
As a Texas oil tycoon, he waved his hand and shouted:
"Guys, Fred is dragging us to our death!"
"Our factories, our businesses, and our money are all shrinking rapidly!"
"Fuck the federal government, fuck the glory of the United States."
"We just want money, we just want money!"
There was anger in Manton's voice.
They just wanted money, but Fred, that idiot, killed all their hopes.
"Since Fred has cut off our hope, then we don't have to give him face."
"The federal government is no longer helping us!"
"The great Eastern countries are already building prototypes of controllable nuclear fusion."
“We don’t have their market, and our technology is being caught up, so what hope is there?”
Hopefully, Manton didn't see a trace.
He could drop the subject and look around at all the tycoons present.
No one can see the hope of the United States.
"One year, we only give Fred one year!"
"If the great eastern country really succeeds, friends, admit it, this country is no longer worthy of our support, and the federal government will not be able to fulfill its mission."
Manton's voice turned cold.
A U.S. government that cannot serve big capitalists.
What do they want from him? !
