Chapter 1351: Golden Dream, Letting Go of Temptation
Tony has always been a fearless person. This can be seen from his hands and feet on the entire United States.
The United States has been established for more than 200 years. Although it is already full of problems today, who dares to say that there is no knowledgeable and capable person who can see these problems. Who dares to say that there is no one with lofty ideals who wants to pull out these ills? have. Absolutely. It's just that these so-called far-sighted people, these so-called people with lofty ideals, have all been crushed in the face of these ills in the United States, and all their banners have died down. After counting the United States for more than two hundred years, there was only one Tony Stark. With such determination and ability, he completely uprooted this malady. From this point alone, he has already shown his courage, his lawlessness, and his courage to pierce the sky.
But now, when faced with such a solution to the problem pointed out by his son, it was the first time for him, and he felt fear and hesitation in his heart.
The reason why it is like this is not because there is anything wrong with the method Frank said. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this method. As long as he can do it freely, it is only a matter of time before the United States is restored to its glory. Moreover, this time will definitely only be short and not long. But why is Tony so condescending, even to the point where he wants to quit? The problem still lies in this method.
Make gold. This will certainly allow Tony to solve his own country's economic problems, but what follows is that he will bring a bigger problem to the world. That was the global financial crisis caused by the influx of gold into the market.
You must know that almost all countries in the world have gold reserves to varying degrees, and they regard gold as the ballast of their national economy. And the reason for this is because of the stable value of gold itself. From ancient times to the present, gold has been the most precious metal among the currencies created by human beings, and their stability is far beyond any other precious luxury. Therefore, any individuals and organizations with a sense of urgency prefer to reserve gold to prevent and deal with unexpected events.
However, this is based on the premise that gold is stable. And if Tony really starts to make gold, then this stability is equivalent to being broken. A large amount of gold poured into the market, which changed not only the US economy, but also the entire world pattern. Because the market is regulated, between the value and the product, the more gold is produced, the lower the price of gold will be. And this hurts the interests of all countries in the world, which is equivalent to digging a few hoes on their cornerstone. No one, or no country, can tolerate such a thing. So doing so can be said to be the enemy of the whole world.
Nobody dares to do that. Russia has the largest meteorite impact diamond crater in the world, and its value is immeasurable, but they just resist mining, why? Isn't it because of the fear of impacting the luxury goods market, causing the market to collapse, and finally offending the whole world?
It's still diamonds, not gold. Don't say that the value of diamonds is higher than that of gold. No matter how high the value of diamonds is, they cannot be mixed into the status of the national strategic reserve. And gold is precisely an important resource of the national strategic reserve. For the country, this is an important reserve related to stability, and it is a fundamental interest that is enough to make them an enemy of anyone. And what would happen if Tony reached out to their fundamental interests? This is simply a question that you can know the result without even thinking about it.
No matter how fearless he is, Tony will never dare to be an enemy of the whole world. He is very clear about what the United States looks like today. This fragile economy and weak national strength make them unable to show the confidence to be an enemy of any country, let alone the whole world.
Therefore, even if it is for the future of this country, even if it is for his own sake. He had to reject this tempting approach, and he had to be sternly shut out. This ruthlessness is not only for himself, but also for his son. In order to completely dispel Frank's idea, he had already framed him, and said to him in a rare and severe tone.
"Listen, Frank. That's the end of the matter. We've never done it, we've never figured it out, you know?"
Although Frank is smart, he is beyond imagination. But this kind of favor and political experience, as a child, he still lacks. So he didn't understand why Tony would say that, and it was precisely because he didn't understand that he immediately asked back.
"Dad, are you worried about the inflation of the gold market caused by the production of gold, which will eventually affect the entire gold price? Actually, there is no need to worry about this issue. We can produce gold and sell it little by little. If the price of gold is affected too much , we can also make silver, and make other precious metals. Add up a lot, and we can revitalize the economy of this country without knowing it."
"It's not for this reason, Frank. Things are not as simple as you imagined. In short, you must listen to me about this matter. We must not do this kind of thing. We cannot afford the consequences of this kind of thing. Do you understand? America It is not enough to use this method to seek a new rise."
"Then I need a reason, Dad. I want to know your reason for doing this? Is this method so unacceptable to you?"
The intellectual curiosity in Frank's nature was enormous. Although he has obtained almost all human knowledge from Ultron's network, this does not satisfy him, and he still has a thirst for knowledge. In this case, he did not see any obvious flaws in his approach. So he must figure out why his father is unwilling to accept his method.
Frank is going to break the casserole and ask the end. There was no way Tony could stop him. He also knew in his heart that if he wanted Frank to give up this plan completely, he had to have a reason that could completely convince him. Otherwise, he gave up on the surface, but secretly told Ultron this idea, and that would still be the same result.
He needs a reason that can explain everything in detail, but he can't explain this kind of thing too clearly. Because anyway, Frank is still young, and exposing him to such dirty and dirty things too early may have some adverse effects on his future growth. So he must be tactful enough, and let him know as little as possible about the darkness of this world. As for what to say, he scratched his head before he came up with such a nonsense statement.
"Man, what should I tell you? Let's use this analogy. This method is like a spell, a spell that turns us into mosquitoes and sucks other people's blood. We suck other people's blood and fatten ourselves At the same time, it also caused these people to suffer losses. This kind of loss is unacceptable to anyone. It’s okay if they don’t know, once they know, then they will definitely wave themselves desperately Slap, I want to slap this mosquito to death. And this is exactly what I worry about. The United States is very fragile now, and we cannot bear the blow of these slaps. So whether it is for them or for ourselves, we cannot do this. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
"You can do it quietly, can't you? Dad. Do it quietly, controlling the amount of blood you suck. Just like those real mosquitoes, if you suck blood and don't let people find it, isn't everything not a problem? "
Frank thought that what he said made sense, but facing his rhetoric, Tony just shook his head with a smile.
"That's not how it is calculated, son. You have to know one thing, if you don't want people to know what you did, then you'd better not do this kind of thing in the first place. In the same way, what you said Once this method is started, it is impossible to keep others from knowing. There is no impenetrable wall, and there is no secret that can be buried forever. Instead of being worried and afraid after doing this kind of thing, it is better to start from the beginning , we will give up this method.”
Having said that, Tony's face sank slightly, and then he said to Frank in a somewhat solemn tone.
"Besides, there is another reason I want to tell you. We can use our own wisdom to solve some things, but sometimes wisdom does not provide you with the best solution. Like the way you said, maybe in From your point of view, it is a means to solve my predicament. But from my point of view, this is a closed door to hell. Open it, and endless desires will probably swallow you completely. When the time comes If you want to stop, you will probably be involuntary. So I would rather give it up, and would rather treat it as if it had never appeared from the beginning. I would not like to use it to plan and operate in secret as you said. Because I'm also afraid that I won't be able to control it and will be completely manipulated by it. Do you understand what I mean?"
If the former is still a decent reason, then the latter is really a somewhat idealistic statement. Frank's life experience can't understand such a statement, so he shook his head very simply and said.
"I still can't understand, especially the last paragraph. Is it really that difficult to control yourself not to be dominated by desire?"
"Of course, my son. If everyone could control their desires, then no one would make mistakes. Just like me, if I could control myself, I think our lives should not be like Let’s do it now. We should live a happier and more fulfilling life. Not like this.”
A wry smile appeared on his face, and Tony looked at his wife and children with apologetic eyes.
"I'm sorry for you, it's my fault. Unfortunately, I can't turn back now."
