Chapter 824 Hiccup?

Nick Fury was cruising around the town. He chose this place because there was no one around here. Some small inland cities in the United States (generally referring to small cities with a population of several thousand) often rise because of traffic, and at the same time decline because of traffic.

The national highway on wheels is the most important national resource. They connect the economic lifeline of the entire country. The proportion of train transportation and air transportation in this country is far less than that of cars (motorcycles) driving on the ground.

This is a country with a very strong car culture. In the United States, in addition to social security numbers and passports, vehicle driver's licenses are what they use most to prove their identity.

Many people like cars, such as Tony Stark. The various classic cars and classic models parked in his underground garage can be worth tens of millions of dollars. Because Tony has maintained them so well, these old cars drive like new cars.

And Captain Rogers also has several Harley heavy motorcycles. The two most common means of transportation he used during World War II were jeeps and motorcycles. However, Captain Rogers prefers motorcycles to jeeps with an all-steel frame structure that can shake people apart when sitting up. For example, old-school Harleys are Rogers' favorite.

Rodgers can feel a sense of the old days when riding a Harley.

Cars are one of the most important things in this country. But that may all be about to change. Nick Fury took out a flat stainless steel jug from his arms, opened the lid and took a sip of the gin contained in it, and finally shook his head.

The desertion of this city is due to the reconstruction of the expressway, and the traffic flow no longer passes through the city, so all the residents here moved out of here in the end.

And there will be more and more cities like this in the future. Nick stepped on the asphalt road that has not been maintained for more than ten years. The quality of the road is very good. It is firm and has a high coefficient of friction. It is actually a good road.

Driving fast on this kind of road may not have to worry about the quality of the road surface. Nick looked far and wide, and the straight roads crossed the north and south ends of the city, each extending to endless distance. All that was visible to the naked eye was a black asphalt road disappearing into the Nevada desert.

"I'm afraid there will be more and more cities like this in the future." Nick Fury said to himself. He is not alarmist or something, but something that is really happening.

Because Randall Corporation (Tekken Daniel's company) is trying its best to persuade Congress to promote the implementation of the super high-speed rail plan in the United States.

The hyper-high-speed rail integration between Eastern Europe and East Asia has begun to take shape. For various reasons and purposes, China is willing to provide many Eastern European countries with low-interest loans (the interest rate is much lower than that of international banks) to push them to build this super high-speed railway together.

Randall also handed over a considerable part of the infrastructure work to the Chinese infrastructure engineering team to complete. There is now a surge of dynamism all over Eastern Europe.

The social unrest caused by the war and economic turmoil before began to improve slowly. In Ukraine, for example, nearly half of the country's banks are bankrupt, and the loss of bank failure funds can cause a terrible chain reaction. The industrial system affecting the entire country affects social stability.

Because bank bankruptcy will drive some companies to go bankrupt, and company bankruptcy will trigger a wave of layoffs. A large number of people who lose their jobs and have no income wandering on the streets will affect public order. If this last series of problems is brewing, it will eventually lead to a terrible social problem.

The Ukrainian government is powerless in this matter. The national minimum wage has been adjusted to more than 60 dollars per month. It is difficult to get enough food and clothing with this salary.

However, it just so happened that the construction plan of the super high-speed railway was led by Latvia at this time, and a large number of workers were recruited across the country.

This has greatly eased the pressure brought about by the wave of laid-offs. In addition, China has brought a lot of low-interest loans after entering this super high-speed railway plan, and some projects need to be done locally to be more cost-effective. So it helped Ukraine ease a part.

A social crisis that might have erupted was suppressed in this way. A large number of young workers poured into the railway construction. Such infrastructure construction requires the most manpower.

The per capita wages in Ukraine are even lower than those in China, and Chinese infrastructure companies are also willing to hire these Ukrainian locals.

The whole of Eastern Europe and East Asia seemed to be ignited by a fire, and the super high-speed railway project made countless people burst into incomparable enthusiasm. Although many people, like Kurno, a guy from the Ukrainian countryside, don't know what the meaning behind this railway is. But this does not prevent them from building their hometown and changing their enthusiasm.

It has been many years, many years have not seen such a situation where many countries have a unified goal to stand together and work hard for a certain thing.

Some old-fashioned and stubborn members of Congress think of the 1920s and 1930s, and some people think that it may be the comeback of the new Soviet Union. Of course, this comeback may not be called the new Soviet Union, because this is the beginning of another big country, one of the largest and one of the few remaining socialist countries in the world.

Some people are accusing Randall of selling technology and putting the United States in a dangerous position. However, the negotiating delegation of the Randall Company took advantage of the trend and brought the topic to the large-scale construction in North America.

"We also need to build such a super high-speed railway. Together with North America and South America!" This is the original words of the Randall company delegation. They constantly lobbied the liberal factions in Congress, and made it clear that the United States could no longer stand still.

And their delegation also went to Europe to persuade European countries to carry out European integration.

"Since you all formed the European Union, why don't you make the roads more open? Why did Prussia become Germany in the end? Because they were the first to abolish tariff tolls, and they opened up their own traffic!"

In Africa, super high-speed rail is also underway, albeit at a slower pace. But everyone clearly felt a tendency, a tendency for someone to want to connect the world as one.

And the straw that broke the camel's back came when the US Congress was wavering. BJ sent a diplomatic mission, ostensibly to discuss the import of American corn and soybeans under the name of business talks.

But in fact the real goal of the delegation is to talk about another thing, BJ wants to build a super high-speed railway connecting China and the United States! They have convinced Russia that the railway will cross the Russian Bering Strait and take the Arctic route to Alaska. (This is one of the conditions for controlled nuclear fusion)

After reaching the North American continent, it extends from Alaska to the most important cities on the east and west coasts of the United States.

"Impossible! This is too dangerous for the United States! We have exposed all our strategic locations to China!" Some congressmen jumped up to object.

Regarding this situation, the Chinese representative only replied lightly: "It's mutual. Because the cities we open are BJ and Shanghai. From BJ to Washington, from Shanghai to New York."

The dissenting congressmen were shocked by the conditions offered by the Chinese side, and it was a little difficult to organize their words for a while.

In fact, the Chinese side put forward this concept with such boldness. The very important reason is that high-level people have determined that the trend of the future is no longer a tiny bit of territory on the ground, but mining and colonization in the vast universe.

This is a brand new era, and everyone is on the same starting line. Now it depends on who will focus on the future first and prepare for the future first. If you have given up on the ocean once, you cannot give up on space this time. Otherwise, this group of leaders may be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

No matter what the considerations are, the opinions put forward by the Chinese side made the US high-level officials start closed-door consultations. The President of the United States is actually trying his best to prevent this kind of thing from happening during his tenure. He has less than a year left in his term, so what the hell is he doing?

If you do well, it will be the credit of the next president, if you don't do well, you will be responsible for it yourself. This is really a dilemma.

When it comes to the candidate for the next president, some people have already begun to promote Rogers, and his voice among the people is also very high. Internationally, Steve Rogers' praise is also extremely high, and everyone is looking forward to it. Find out who will be in the White House this year.

And because Captain Rogers' inclination towards the super high-speed railway is obvious, some people who want to stand in line in advance put forward intermediate opinions. That is to roll out the railway network in the United States first.

Now the first railroad broke ground in Kansas in January. With the rise of super high-speed railways in the future, the car culture and highways in the United States may slowly decline.

This is why Nick said that there will be more and more abandoned towns like this in the future. He couldn't decide whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. The merits and demerits of this matter can only be judged by time and future generations.

Nick took another sip of his wine and murmured: "Maybe it's time to see what they're talking about?" Nick Fury said this and walked towards the previous fast food restaurant.

But just as he walked to the door, Nick Fury heard a voice that made him scream.

Black Bolt King is drinking Jianlibao and eating French fries. kaz kaz kaz ~ ton ton ton ~ burp ~

Damn it, Black Bolt hiccups!
