Chapter 1312 Looking to the Future and Weighing Gains and Losses
In order to get the support of the countries across the ocean, Tony paid a huge price, which many people can't imagine.
It is impossible to achieve such a noble level of selfless dedication between countries. Especially when nearly trillions of capital flows are involved. It is impossible for any country, no matter how strong the relationship is, to make such a huge investment regardless of anything just to help the other party. There must be an exchange of interests in the middle to finally reach such an agreement.
That's how the Stark government is today. For this huge amount of funds from the opposite country, he, as the president of the United States, secretly signed a special contract. In this contract, many interests that originally belonged to the United States have been ceded. This includes not only the overseas bases cultivated by generations of Americans, but also those many capital markets and channels, and even many originally top-secret technologies. It can be said that once such a transaction is handed over, the losses suffered by the United States will definitely be huge, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a broken arm.
Is such a deal worth it? Many people have asked this question, and even Tony himself has asked himself more than once. Measure all they have given, and look at what they can get in return, and all of them seem to be answered only by a sentence of not worth it. However, no matter how many times he hesitated and hesitated, Tony finally made such a choice firmly.
And the reason why he insisted on doing so was entirely because he set his sights on a long enough future. And it was precisely because he was thinking about the future that he became more and more sure that doing what he did was the right choice.
In the future, there will be no place for these capitalists. Based on their own selfishness, there is no distinction between countries and nations in their eyes. For these big capitalists, the more turbulent the world is, the more they can benefit from it. It can be said that to a large extent, the turmoil in the world in the past few decades was caused by them.
There was no problem with this in the past, because the world itself was full of various contradictions. Between countries, between nations, and even between religions. Countless contradictions are entangled together, enough for these capitalists to fuel the flames and disturb the whole world.
But not now. Although the current world is more turbulent, in essence, various countries have become more and more closely connected. The situation in the whole world has already affected the whole body. Under such circumstances, if these capitalists are allowed to act recklessly, then the entire United States will be involved in a greater disaster.
This is not alarmist talk, because judging from the current situation, the disadvantages of capital controlling the United States have already been manifested. In the past few decades, the United States has done many wrong things because it was controlled by capital consortiums. Although because of the size of the United States, most of these mistakes have been settled. However, that's not without its pitfalls. With the accumulation of time and the brewing of problems, these hidden dangers have erupted one after another.
And today, the United States has deeply tasted the pain of this.
Whether it is the resistance of various countries to US military actions or the economic and political sanctions, the former hegemon has suffered a lot. If it's just that, it's okay, and more importantly, because of the operations of these capitalists, the entire US government has been completely corrupted. Counting those so-called congressmen and politicians, almost none of them are clean. Almost all of them are serving the interests of these capitalists, and in order to serve them, many people are willing to sell the interests of this country. Among them, Hydra has undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiary.
They can occupy this country for decades, and even steal high positions step by step. These are all thanks to these capitalists. It is precisely because of their existence, and precisely because of the rules they created, that Hydra is given such an opportunity. The United States has become what it is today, ostensibly because of Hydra's rebellion, but in fact, the existence of those capitalists and the flaws in the country's system are the most critical reasons.
Tony knew he could let these problems go. During his tenure, these capitalists have no possibility of turning over. However, it is impossible for him to control the US government forever. Even for the sake of the country's laws and democracy, he must abdicate one day. And it is precisely because he is destined that there will be a day when those forces whose capital is entrenched in the US government will have the possibility of revival.
At that time, the United States will still be the United States it once was. Being controlled by capital, it will do many things that hurt the fundamental interests of the United States. And in the future, once the United States does more such things, then he is really not sure whether the United States is still possible.
The future human society is bound to develop in the direction of unity. Under the premise of that unity, such obvious differences and disruptive factors will definitely become the targets of attack by the entire human race. Capital can escape through the operation of capital, but the American regime will become the last victim. This is something Tony can't tolerate, so he has made such a determination, even if he pays such a huge price today, he must eradicate those moths from this country's political system.
Doing so does not mean that the United States does not need capital, but that the United States, as a country, must hold capital in its own hands. He can no longer be kidnapped by capital, he can no longer be manipulated by capital. As a country, he must have the appearance of a country, and he must have the dignity of a country. And precisely because of these reasons, everything he planned became more and more imperative.
Although the sacrifice today is great, it is better than losing everything in the future. As long as the country can change, as long as the United States can break free from this quagmire and be reborn completely. Then everything lost today, they can earn back in the future. And if not, no matter how much wealth is preserved today, the future will become hopeless. What is the value of these things?
Tony is well aware of this, so some things he does are decisive. And such an approach is actually very difficult to get the approval of others. Even though he had convinced most of the people before, when all this was realized little by little according to the plan, some people still inevitably became distressed.
Nick Fury is considered to be the most serious of these people. Because he has a sharp weapon like the FBI in his hands, he has a clearer understanding of the current situation in the entire United States. In his view, Tony's series of actions have caused heavy losses to the entire country. This is the blood of the United States today, and it is the foundation of their country's survival. It's really not worth it to waste here for nothing now.
So almost subconsciously, he found Tony face to face, and questioned him loudly.
"Tony, you can't let the people of that country go on like this. We've given them enough, and now they want more. If this continues, there will be nothing left of the property of the entire United States Down. At that time, both you and I are the sinners of this country. We have no way to explain to our descendants, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame. So, no matter what method you use, let them stop Come down."
"You came just in time, this is the task I want to give you."
Being pointed at the nose and scolded for no reason, the look on Tony's face was not pretty. However, he understood why Nick Fury did this. He knew that Nick Fury did this for the good of the country. Although with his previous temper, he would not tolerate him too much for such a reason. But for the sake of this critical period, he still showed his rare big belly and said this to Nick Fury.
"Take your people and find an excuse to investigate those foreign capitals. Especially the richest man in China, you must take the most severe attitude against him. My request to you is to let everyone see that we His malice, let everyone know that we can no longer tolerate this situation. If there is a law, follow the law, if there is no law, follow the rules you think. In short, I only have one request, that is, you must Show an attitude of being on fire with him."
"What? Tony, what are you doing?"
Hearing such a request suddenly, Nick Fury became a little dazed. Although he was angry with Tony's actions, it didn't mean he supported Tony's current approach. There is no turning back for them who have invested so much. If they want to repent at this time, then the only result that awaits them is destruction. They can't do that, even a fool knows that. So he really didn't know what the hell was going on in Tony's mind.
Nick Fury had doubts written on his face, and Tony naturally saw his doubts. He has only one explanation for this.
"Don't be curious, I did this just to let you sing a drama together. The richest man contacted me secretly before, and he told me that the power of the consortium has already begun to contact him. They want Find him to cooperate. This is an opportunity in my opinion, an opportunity to break into them. I don't believe that these scumbags in the consortium will unite like a steel bar. As long as we can break in, we will We can find a way to dismantle them from within. And as long as we can make them internally divided, our victory will come more quickly."
Nick Fury is not a fool, he immediately understood the deep meaning of this, so his face also became weird.
"So, I'm going to have a good show?"
"Yes, Cyclops. Bring out your best acting skills, and it's best to make those scumbags bite your teeth. But don't forget to give them a chance. They need to express themselves, especially in our partners before."
