Chapter 1267 Enemy Everywhere, Alone and Helpless

As the president of the United States, the problems facing Tony can be clearly seen even from the perspective of the most ordinary outsider.

Although the current U.S. government can no longer be the world's policeman, as long as they still want to control the right to speak in the Skyhammer Bureau, then after such a big thing happened in India, it is impossible for them to come silently. turn a blind eye. And wanting to get involved in India is not that simple. Especially now, when he has to solve the omnic problem first. Therefore, it is not wrong for Zhou Yi to say that Tony will be devastated.

As a representative stationed in Washington, Serena certainly knew what kind of situation Tony was in now, so she immediately explained to Zhou Yi.

"Although there are indeed some difficulties, it has not reached the point where he is overwhelmed. Because the incidents in India will have a greater impact on the surrounding radiation, the person in charge of this matter is not Tony. He only needs to It would be nice to help from the side. In contrast, the problems caused by omnics will make him more difficult to do. He spent so much time to spread out the omnic system, and now he wants to remove this system No matter what the result is, it will be a huge loss for him."

"An omnic?" Hearing such an explanation, Zhou Yi couldn't help talking about this special existence. He is very clear about what omnic means to Tony. It can be said that this technological product that once changed the world structure is a symbol of Tony's administration of the United States and an achievement of his presidential career. If this project can start well and end well, and be thoroughly integrated into the modern life of human beings, then relying on his achievements in turning the tide in the past, when Tony is honorably laid off, he will have a president like Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. The same qualifications listed in history.

And if this policy fails, what awaits Tony will not be the glory of the ages, but the infamy of President Hoover who once came up with a crooked idea during the Great Depression in the United States.

Based on Zhou Yi's understanding of Tony, he knew very well that a proud person like Tony would never allow himself to fall into such a situation. However, as a strong reformist president of the United States, under the current circumstances, the possibility that he will fall into such a situation is not small at all. This is not only because of the omnic, but more because of his enemies, who will definitely not miss this opportunity to hurt him.

The path Tony chose is to let the government get rid of the restraint of capital. Although this can change some of the ills of the United States, it will inevitably be hostile to the most powerful power in the United States, the capital consortia. Facing such an opponent, even if Tony had the national strength of the United States in its heyday, it would be difficult to deal with it, not to mention that what he has in his hands now is a United States with declining national strength and internal and external troubles.

In the past, he could still rely on his aura of a superhero and his achievements in saving the United States to gain the support of the people, protect his achievements with public opinion, and prevent these capital consortiums from secretly stumbling him. .

But now, with the collapse of the omnic project, his approval rating among the public has also fallen below the bottom. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for those capital consortiums to look around like before and dare not act rashly.

It is conceivable that in the future, Tony will definitely face attacks from various state governments, various parties, and even various organizations with consortium backgrounds. Forced to end his political career.

This will be a heavy blow to him now, and it will also be a terrible disaster for the United States, which is slowly recovering. However, the capital consortium doesn't care about this, and the vision of ordinary people cannot reach such a height.

Although it is said that if things are really going to develop in this bad direction, they will definitely suffer in the end. But they who have been agitated by caring people and public opinion don't care about these at all.

Maybe it can't be said that they don't care, it may be more accurate to say that they don't believe it at all. The reason is that a leaf blocks the eyes, and Mount Tai is not seen. Just like the financial crisis caused by the credit collapse back then, is it really impossible to see that possibility? No, but everyone believed too blindly that such a thing would not happen, and they didn't start to go crazy until it happened.

In Zhou Yi's eyes, the current situation in the United States is even more terrifying than the financial crisis at that time. Because the impact of the financial crisis can be transferred to the risk, the United States can also withstand the national strength. However, if the government collapses at this time, the result will be absolutely catastrophic and devastating.

Once the Stark government is driven out, the parliamentary government controlled by the capital consortium in the past will climb back to the table. Perhaps ordinary people will think that this is the same as their previous government, and there is nothing strange about it. But for invisible capitalists like Zhou Yi, everything is already completely different.

Although the previous government also had capital elements, under the dual control of political and military power, capital cannot be absolutely unscrupulous. But now, if such a capital-backed government is allowed to control the current situation, the twice-battered government can only be completely reduced to a vassal of capital, and at the same time make this country completely controlled by capital.

Think about what the situation would be like, the existence of South Korea is a very typical example. In South Korea, which is dominated by large conglomerates, the monopoly conglomerate families almost occupy more than 90% of the country's wealth, and they can provide only 5% of the country's most basic employment rate. The seemingly glamorous government actually has no ability to control consortiums, let alone those citizens who have nothing but a bit of energy.

What would happen to the life of Koreans, who can even eat meat like New Year’s Eve, if they were placed on Americans? It would definitely be something that would make the vast majority of Americans who are used to big fish and big meat rebel. But the question is, if that day really comes, will anyone in the United States care about their lives?

The original government can force the consortium to give up its own interests for the sake of employment rate, because they have the energy and ability. And once the government is completely controlled by the consortium, how could they still do this. How can profit-seeking capitalists use the expensive labor in the United States instead of using the cheap labor all over the world? How can those super-high-income people be willing to continue to use their high taxes to provide benefits to the lower-level civilians who they don't care about at all?

Cut off jobs, cut off government welfare assistance. Americans still want to live their happy little days like before, this is simply a dream! They can only be reduced to vagrants and beggars. Becoming a sympathetic exception like newspapers used to be.

Unfortunately, no one saw this. The vast majority of civilians throughout the United States do not believe that this day will appear in their lives. They are still the same, constantly attacking the Stark government for the omnic issue, and slandering all Tony's efforts in a way that they don't even know what they want.

To be honest, Zhou Yi is very sympathetic to Tony now. Because what Tony fell into for his dream was already hellish. An almost unsolvable situation, and it is impossible to get any outside help.

This is a national political confrontation, and even an existence like Zhou Yi has no way to intervene in it. And the only ones who can step in to help Tony are those other powerful countries, but which country in this world is kind enough to lend a helping hand to an existence that threatens itself when it is in crisis?

To put it bluntly, no country will do this in the interests of the country. Therefore, Tony is doomed to be alone and helpless.

He is already in danger, and the consortia will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack him wave after wave. As for whether Tony, whose foundation was already unstable, could gain a firm foothold in such an attack, even Zhou Yi, who he knew best, didn't have much hope.

Difficult, very difficult. Unless Tony has the courage and determination to break the boat. However, after so many years of development in the United States, capital has already penetrated into every part of the country. The downfall of a consortium will inevitably mean that tens of thousands of civilians will lose their ability to make a living. Therefore, even if Tony really dares to do this, the final result will definitely make the whole of the United States hurt and turbulent.

What would happen to him like that? Zhou Yi doesn't think so, no matter how well he does, he will inevitably attract criticism and hostility from countless people. It is even said that it may be crowned with titles such as dictatorship and national sinner.

He will be utterly infamous. Because this is not a problem that can be solved in ten or twenty years, but a problem that may last for a lifetime of a generation. He has destroyed the foundation of America and destroyed American life. This is the price he has to pay.

And is this costly? Very heavy. So heavy that Zhou Yi thought that Tony didn't have the courage to do this at all.

Tony dedicated his life to this country, but in the end he had to bear all the charges. How could a person as proud as him be willing to have such a thing happen to him.

Zhou Yi thinks so, however, the fact has already exceeded Zhou Yi's expectations. Because at this time, Tony had already made up his mind.

infamy? guilt? Would Tony care about all of this if he could really accomplish the grand plan in his heart? In the past, he would have cared, but now he doesn't take it to heart at all.

As a politician, he is unqualified. However, as a hero, he would never let himself be unqualified. This was his choice, and when he made such a choice, he had already spared no expense.
