Chapter 197: The little thing in the old beauty's house
Washington, White House, Office of the President.
The then President of the United States pouted and folded his hands in front of him, sitting on the presidential throne with his eyes closed and arrogant. He had a magical hairstyle, and his light yellow hair was neatly combed to cover up his baldness.
The most arrogant sitting posture of the boss explains that he is the only C-position character present. I am the boss and I can do whatever I want. It indicates that this Mr. President has been a social person since he was a child.
But the unreliable president who is blaming the sky and the ground is unreliable. He successfully won re-election last year. The American media said that he is unreliable. What is the point of the American people thinking that the media is right, and then they turned around and voted for him?
ghost?
American people: Just one-pick him. If you don’t vote, you are not an American.
Although this elderly president is in his 70s or 80s, he is in good spirits, very high-spirited and able to shake up the world.
At this moment, two groups of people in the President's Office are "fighting" with each other, making the White House look like a vegetable market. However, Mr. President's very aloof and bossy posture seems to be frowning and suspicious, but in fact he is calm and polite.
The two sides in the fight are those representing the national interests of the United States, and the other are the business interests representing Wall Street and K Street.
"Mr. President, we must contain Coastline Company's global call for technology calibration conference. It is a Chinese company, and it is a high-tech company. The United States must reallocate its forces. We must insist on locking the main contradiction in that company.
Rabbit, because this country may be the biggest competitor of the United States in the future, and even now you can remove the word "possible", it has become an imminent fact."
After chatting for a long time, the representative of the national interest faction immediately turned to the president and continued: "We believe that even Russia should not be the main competitor of the United States. This country is dilapidated and incomplete, and its future strength is limited to a limited extent.
It is unlikely that the foreseeable future will pose a major challenge to the United States."
"But it can be said that the real worry for the United States now is the rise of the Eastern country on the other side of the Pacific. This is the key to the problem. The other country is the country with the greatest economic potential in the future. The United States will never tolerate such an emerging and practical challenge in the Asia-Pacific region.
's great country."
At this time, a senior researcher from a think tank representing business interests also said: "It is true that you are right, but unfortunately, the United States has missed the best opportunity to contain it. Two wars have cost the United States 6 trillion US dollars.
Not only did we get rid of 6 trillion US dollars, we also got rid of the best opportunity to contain him. What did we get from the two wars? What political benefits were obtained? No, nothing, the two wars were only fattened by those
Defense contractors, arms consortiums and some international financial speculators."
"Don't you understand yet? Revitalizing the domestic economy and maintaining external hegemony can no longer be achieved at the same time. The United States has no money. Look at the domestic infrastructure. There has been no large-scale infrastructure construction since the 1960s.
In terms of infrastructure construction, if the US$6 trillion lost in the two wars were invested in infrastructure construction, it would be enough to renovate the infrastructure of the United States twice."
"With the current terrible infrastructure, how can we talk about the reshoring of manufacturing? What can dilapidated factories build? There is nothing wrong with moving to the Asia-Pacific and containing this opponent, but the United States has no money, no money, no money, no money, you know
? Without money, you can’t do anything!”
As he spoke, the senior researcher looked at the president and said: "The United States must pay a price for the sequelae and impact of the two wars. First, you must have money before you can do other things. Consolidating the country's foundation is the top priority of the United States at the moment.
Level, what is our current situation? The slogans are getting louder and louder, and the sticks in our hands are getting smaller and smaller. Consolidating the country's foundation and revitalizing the manufacturing industry are the most important policies of the United States, but now we are unable to digest it alone. We must work with
Shared by Chinese people.”
At this time, the representative of the American national interest group or the diplomatic interest group suddenly said: "Even if it is already extremely difficult for the United States to contain this opponent, do you still want to further strengthen its strength? This is slandering the enemy! It is treason!
!”
"No, it's a tug of war." The senior researcher said concisely, and then said: "In the duel, the United States has changed from an overwhelming advantage at the beginning to a close match. The better one is a small advantage. This is to prepare for the original failure.
The price paid for this strategy is that if you want to reach the day after tomorrow, you must first find a way to survive tomorrow, and then there will be a day after tomorrow."
Mention the word tug of war.
The president watched the two sides bickering, and he knew very well that they were tug of war representing their respective interests.
Under such circumstances, in fact, even as president, he is largely unable to make decisions independently. The reason why he remains silent is to see the final outcome of the tug-of-war between the two major think tanks and the two major interest groups.
It can be seen that the diplomatic interest faction wants to contain it, while the commercial interest faction has reached the opposite conclusion.
In fact, the elderly president has been alienating the diplomatic interests in his heart, and is moving closer to the business interests, the party he has been furiously criticizing.
This president is a businessman and made his fortune in trading. He has already seen its essence.
Transaction, transaction, transaction, real interests are the basis of everything, don't just think about it.
It is worth mentioning that there is another key factor that led the president to reject the diplomatic interest group, and that is that when the president makes decisions in Washington, he is actually restricted by many factors. Ordinary people will
As the president of the United States, you should be able to do whatever you want. How can you be manipulated by others?
In fact, the factor that restricts the president's decision-making is clearly pointed out that there is a diplomatic power group and business interest group in Washington, which is a group of think tanks on Wall Street and K Street. They have set many behavioral standards for the president.
This means that the national decision-making in the United States is not a decision-making under the leadership of a completely closed government, but in a sense, it is mainly outsourced to think tanks or K Street, and think tanks are influenced by money, which in turn is influenced by customers.
, the influence of customers, if we follow this logic, the use of money by external customers can affect the core decisions of the White House.
Perhaps, this can explain why Israel and the United States are extremely hardcore, because the superstructure of the United States is a large wave of Jewish interest groups. They organize lobbying groups to go to the president all day long to turn a deaf ear. Once or twice is nothing.
Three times, five times, eight times, and n times are annoying to everyone, and even the president does not dare to completely ignore these Jewish lobby groups.
And where are the Jewish people in America? Of course on Wall Street, K Street, and of course New York.
On K Street, the United States has more than 1,800 large and small think tanks, and there are also some in New York. The United States can be said to be the country with the most think tanks in the world, and the sponsorship fees for these think tanks’ research projects are obtained from clients.
They come from China, and these customers are basically from the Middle East, such as Sate, Yiselie, etc.
When people in think tanks get money, they have to satisfy their customers, otherwise there will be no customers, and they will starve to death. This shows that in the decision-making process, it includes power, the market of the privatization of national public rights under American imperialism.
It is extremely huge. Otherwise, how can we support such a think tank?
So who are the people in these think tanks? This has to mention a relatively unique "revolving door system" in the United States. For example, a senior executive of a large American company may become an American executive the next day.
Which department becomes the minister? After his term is up, he may transfer to a think tank to be a senior researcher, or return to the business world. This forms a big cycle, like a revolving door.
In other words, in the American family, politics, academia, and business are all interconnected. In fact, these circles are all made up of the same group of people, working in business, politics, and think tanks at the same time, in all aspects.
All experiences.
The business community represented by the Utah interest group controls a large amount of lifeblood resources in all walks of life in the United States. If the president completely offends them, they will engage in capital operations, which will cause a serious gap between the rich and the poor in society, increase the unemployment rate, and the United States.
If the people will only blame the authorities, will they vote for him? Then there will be a question mark whether he can be re-elected in the future.
Therefore, in many cases, the President of the United States and these people have reached many compromises of interests.
However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, the then-president is so arrogant and arrogant. Because he has been re-elected, he naturally lets himself go, so he is very stable.
