At this time, a large group of people gathered in the President's Office.
Among them were President Roosevelt of the United States, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and Wood, the Chicago conglomerate's spokesman. Everyone on the plane was a well-known person.
It can be said that on this plane, there are important people in the political and business circles of less than half of the United States, and they definitely have a pivotal position.
A group of distinguished men in suits and ties were chatting enthusiastically about the results of this state visit.
The waiter brought the dining cart.
One by one, everyone took down goblets filled with Lafite red wine from the dining car.
"Congratulations on the successful completion of this state visit to the Empire on which the sun never sets. God bless America!"
"The success of this negotiation is indispensable to everyone's efforts. Under such circumstances, what can be more satisfying than negotiating this cooperation!"
"cheers."
Amidst the clinking sound of glasses, everyone toasted to celebrate, their faces showing excitement that they had not seen for a long time.
This trip to the Empire was not for anything else but to lobby the government of the Empire. We reached a consensus on many cooperations and also led domestic entrepreneurs to sign many cooperation agreements.
With the signing of a series of agreements with the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, there is no doubt that this is an urgent need for the United States that is suffering from the economic crisis. As long as those investment funds are in place, the economic situation can be temporarily stabilized.
This is what they desperately want.
Just when everyone was talking and looking forward to the U.S. economy in a very good mood, a slightly harsh phone ring suddenly rang rapidly.
In such a heated situation, being disturbed is obviously not something worth being happy about.
Roosevelt couldn't help frowning. With the help of White House Secretary Harry, he pushed his wheelchair to his desk and answered the phone.
"What, Stillman and Dupont...they're both dead?!"
Roosevelt's eyes sharpened, and his voice suddenly rose by eight points, showing a look of extreme astonishment! If it weren't for his disabled legs, he might have really wanted to start a crime.
Many dignitaries and businessmen on the side also heard his words, stopped talking one after another, and looked sideways. They were all extremely shocked, and they even wondered if they heard wrongly.
However, except for Stillman of Citibank and DuPont of the DuPont Consortium, they could not imagine that there was another person with the same name who could make Roosevelt, who was always calm and composed, have such a big reaction.
After a long while, Roosevelt slowly hung up the phone, with a solemn look on his face.
At this time, the surrounding politicians and businessmen also gathered around and asked Roosevelt to verify the information on the phone.
Stillman and Dupont died from gunshots, and according to the FBI and police investigation, as well as the feedback of clues, it was people from nine major financial groups who were meeting at the Empire State Building to discuss something, but everything went well.
At that time, a sudden change occurred, and a conflict occurred. Stillman shot and killed Dupont, and the bodyguards of other consortium bosses out of defense also shot and killed Stillman, which led to this
The occurrence of bloodshed.
Due to historical reasons, guns are rampant in the United States. Due to various complicated reasons, the crime rate remains high. It is not so bizarre or unbelievable that a murder occurs.
However, the identities of these two people are not trivial. Moreover, it seems too shocking that such a vicious incident happened to them.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with them? Is it because of business disputes that they have to use guns?"
"This is simply incredible!"
"Citibank and DuPont, these two major conglomerates, if they are leaderless, the consequences will be disastrous." After confirming this incident, the Minister of Economic Affairs was full of worry.
And Wood from the Chicago Consortium couldn't help but feel afraid. At any rate, he did not participate in that meeting because he was visiting with the delegation. If he really participated, his life or death might not be known if he encountered such a dangerous thing. Thinking of this
, Wood felt a chill running down his spine, and cold sweat ran down his spine.
Everyone started to discuss it one by one.
Although there are many businessmen here, more or less competing with Citibank and DuPont. However, after hearing such bad news, their moods naturally became heavy, and they were not in the mood to hold a celebration banquet.
There is even a strange atmosphere floating in the air, making people's hearts throb.
However, among them, the most depressing ones are Roosevelt, Citigroup and DuPont, which are two super conglomerates.
It is no exaggeration to say that half of the banks in the United States are owned by Citigroup. And DuPont is also a super military industrial enterprise. It has huge military orders not only with the Pentagon but also with other powers. Even, at the invitation of the White House, the DuPont Consortium
He also joined the research project on nuclear bombs.
These two major consortiums play a decisive role in the economy and military of the United States.
Seeing that the U.S. economy was about to turn around, something like this happened again. It was hard to guarantee that the two major consortiums would not be affected by this. Moreover, the matter also involved the grudges of the nine major consortiums, which made Roosevelt suddenly feel...
It's a headache. You know, it's not easy to mediate among them, so this will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.
Roosevelt planned to summon the administrator and ministers to discuss how to handle the matter and appease the two major financial groups.
But at this moment, the harsh ringtone of the phone, like a magic sound, once again broke the silence in the office.
Roosevelt felt extremely upset and had to answer the phone again, talking to the other side of the phone in a low tone with a hint of displeasure.
"Rockefeller and Mellon, too?"
Roosevelt took a breath. No matter how calm and calm he was, this time his face had completely collapsed, his heart was shaking violently, his old illness had relapsed, and his tendons and bones were experiencing severe pain.
Secretary Harry quickly took out the medicine from the drawer and gave it to Roosevelt. Under the influence of the medicine, the painful feeling was relieved and slowly drove away from Roosevelt's body. But even so, Roosevelt
His face was earth-colored and his breathing was heavy, as if he had shed a layer of skin.
The political and business people present were all in a rage. They all looked at each other with horrified expressions that simply cannot be described in words.
The deaths of the four major consortium's talkers one after another were simply too bizarre, even with an extremely weird color. From the initial shock, to now, they even have fear in their hearts and shivers from their souls.
.
When people's status reaches a certain level, they will cherish their lives even more than before. And these wealthy businessmen are even more like this. They will bring many bodyguards with them wherever they go, and they will never leave medicines and health products, which will endanger their own safety.
factors, they will be cautious.
But this series of bad news really gives people a feeling of terror and fear, as if they were cursed by a devil.
Moreover, this will cause huge shocks in the already precarious business circles of the United States. The huge impact of this has far exceeded the effects caused by the butterfly storm. It is difficult for everyone here to
If you run away from anything, you will be implicated.
Roosevelt's heart was tense all the time, and he was still worried about whether there would be more bad news. After that, the White House did make a few more calls, but they were all from the investigation department regarding the first two cases.
Supplement to the incident. But even so, this incident was already terrible. It was a terrible mess, waiting for Roosevelt to clean it up. No matter how it was caused, he only knew that his next life would be very difficult.
…
…
Facts have proved that Roosevelt's next life will indeed be difficult.
Although Roosevelt tried his best to block the news, due to its shocking nature, the news of the deaths of the four major financial groups spread like wildfire, spreading at a thunderous speed in New York and even throughout the United States.
Come on.
Because of its seriousness, it caused great panic among the people! And this incident was called "the tragedy of the business world", and even more so, "the tragedy of the United States."
After learning that the matter could not be concealed, Roosevelt had no choice but to frankly announce the case to the public at a White House press conference on Friday, and vowed to investigate and get to the bottom of it and give people the truth.
Roosevelt undoubtedly attached great importance to the death of the spokesmen of the four major financial groups. He also devoted a lot of effort and personally set up a task force.
CIA, FBI, New York Police Department, almost all the intelligence and police forces were mobilized. A huge intelligence network was operated, sorting out and investigating the entire context of the incident from beginning to end, and even interrogated the top ten financial groups.
Senior figures also unearthed more details about Skull Island, the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and the Elixir of Immortality.
After a series of investigations, all the doubts and clues were matched, and the identity of the suspect was finally locked on Li Xiao.
The ten major financial groups were extremely indignant, and Roosevelt was even more worried. The American people were calling for him to be brought to justice.
However, after months of investigation, no matter how hard it was, there was no news or trace about Li Xiao. There was no news or clues about him. Everything was lost, and the investigation of the task force also fell into an unprecedented situation.
In trouble.
"This incident must not be let go!"
"No one can provoke America so much without being punished."
At this time, the National Congress and the Cabinet jumped, and the American military was no longer happy. It wanted to ask the Dragon Emperor for people and launch a war against China. In fact, there was a huge feeling of revenge in the United States. This feeling continued
The sentiment is rising and the voices are getting louder. No matter which faction they belong to, their views are unprecedentedly consistent.
The idea that America was invincible had always been immersed in their thinking.
However, what is embarrassing is that after deliberations by the Special Committee of Senators, a series of latest pre-war intelligence reports have come to a conclusion. That is, if this war is launched, its risk coefficient is extremely high, and
The probability that the United States can win this war is zero!
Because no matter the powerful arms and weapons, or the American soldiers, they can't compare with the Qin army's terracotta warriors who have become immortal after crossing the Great Wall, and the Golden Pill Dragon Emperor, who can transform into a real dragon, overturn rivers and seas, and have power that reaches the sky.
!
The illusion of sweeping the battlefield over there has just been shattered, and the huge economic crisis here has begun to show itself.
Among the top ten consortiums, four of them have lost their lives. With these leaders without a leader, huge rifts and fissures have arisen within the consortia, with intrigues and constant disputes.
Although the spokespersons of the other six major consortia are still alive, the elixir incident has become a trigger for them, and it has also aroused their conflicts. They are already hostile to each other and enmity with each other.
Under the environment of the Great Depression, the essential reason why the United States was still in chaos and not collapsed was that it was based on the top ten powerful consortiums. The local corporate consortiums were twisted into a rope to resist the invasion of foreign assets.
.
The top ten consortiums have lost the minimum trust. There is little cooperation and more vicious competition. Driven by them, the remaining small and medium-sized enterprises cannot cooperate smoothly. The vicious circle of the entire chain and the economic situation are also
Continuously deteriorating, just like this, the only cornerstone that supported the US economy from collapse also collapsed!
The financial, heavy and light industries, and chemical industry represented by the top ten consortiums have had a huge impact on all major industries in the United States. Under this situation, there has been a serious overcapacity situation. Even the Federal Reserve Bank of America, which controls monetary policy, has
, and was no longer able to control the macroeconomic situation. In the end, it was like a wild horse running wild, completely out of control.
The industrial production index began to decline rapidly, and the market gradually declined. Six months later, the New York Stock Exchange went bankrupt, and the securities market plummeted. Business continued to shrink, and unemployment continued to increase.
The financial industry also collapsed. Stocks fell from a peak of more than 500 billion US dollars into the abyss overnight, causing more than 500 billion US dollars of assets to disappear overnight. Prices fell so fast that even the automatic stock price monitor
I can't even keep up.
The continued decline in the commercial credit rating of the United States has also scared away investments from all over the world. Old European conglomerates such as Rothschild and Hilton have also realized this. They have sold off their stock prices and sold off their subsidiaries.
The industries in the United States have been scattered, and the assets of the consortium in the United States have been transferred out, leaving only an empty shell. This has made the United States even worse. The stagnant foreign investment has cut off the last straw for the United States.
The U.S. dollar depreciated, companies went bankrupt, and banks collapsed. In the end, each state government was unable to repay its debts and declared bankruptcy. The huge federal government also disintegrated, and each of them became independent. In less than a year, it was simply surpassed.
The effect of the butterfly storm and the huge shock caused by this also completely plunged the United States into a quagmire!
