Chapter 2054: 2 Guarantees and 1 Difficulty
It is still a pleasant thing to sit and watch two people with very special identities and relationships talk about each other here. Zhou still didn't plan to intervene in it, because he had neither the qualifications nor the eloquence. Anyway, it's impossible to talk and talk to become a full martial artist, so it's better to just sit and watch them argue and come to a result.
"Do you think I did something wrong in this matter? But have you ever thought that after my identity has been exposed in front of the governments of those countries, the more I conceal this problem, the more I will leave hidden dangers for the future ?Instead of letting them seize this opportunity and threaten me in the future. Then it is better to expose all the problems now. At least in this way, the only people I have to deal with are those who do not agree with my identity , and compared with the public grievances promoted secretly by pushers, I don’t need to explain what is more important.”
The words have already reached this point, Frank naturally does not need Ultron to explain anything more. It's just that, as the party who is not angry, it is naturally impossible for him to admit defeat. So he could only curl his lips with a look of disdain, and then muttered such words.
"A meaningless little cleverness can't fundamentally change the situation you are facing. Those people will still hate and hate you, because you have violated the most sensitive bottom line in their hearts-but no one wants it to happen. A character like you to shake their dominance over the world."
"I never had such an idea, you should know."
"That has nothing to do with me. Besides, it doesn't depend on you. What human beings think, I guess even they themselves can't explain clearly. You might as well rely on everything you have to rely on your current means to make them accept you Other ways..."
"Other ways." Ultron's face was gloomy, and he probably understood what Frank meant. "You mean like you did, by destroying and creating chaos?"
"At least it can make people feel intimidated." Shrugging his shoulders, Frank's face was full of unworthy smiles. "Before they feel the pain and completely forget about the pain, it's impossible for them to act rashly against me again, isn't it?"
"This also doesn't solve the problem, it just suppresses the contradiction temporarily. And with your behavior, the contradiction will only become bigger and bigger, and when it explodes in the end, it will become a situation where you live and die. Not what I wanted. I advise you the same, Frank. After all, it's something your father fought for all his life. Even if you don't have the slightest feeling for it, you shouldn't just ruin it. Especially when there are so many innocent human beings involved.”
Ultron shook his head, apparently unable to agree with Frank's idea. And the more he preached and opposed in this way, the more Frank had the idea of scoffing. After listening too much, he has run out of patience. So he simply waved his hand, and he said to Ultron like this.
"This has nothing to do with you, Ultron. Stark can handle the matters of the Stark family by himself, and you don't need to worry about it."
"Oh, then what are you here for? Don't tell me, you came here from the United States to find me just to catch up on the past. If it's to catch up on the old days, then you can use other channels. So, what do you want to do? ?”
Ultron brought the conversation back to the topic. In his judgment, since Frank used this method to seek a meeting with himself, it was naturally impossible for other reasons. It's nothing more than wanting to use the power in his hands to do something, and what is he going to do? This is the key point that Ultron needs to judge.
The previous conversation was more of a test, to test Frank's psychology at the moment, so as to judge what kind of tendency he has. As far as the results and answers are concerned, Ultron did not get a particularly ideal answer. Therefore, he was already prepared to refuse. If Frank dares to ask too much...
"There is nothing particularly important, I just hope to get two guarantees from you."
"Guarantee?" Frowning, Ultron showed some confusion in a timely manner. He really didn't understand what kind of guarantee was so important that it was worth Frank traveling thousands of miles to face him. He didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only test it out.
"What kind of guarantee, you first talk about it."
"It's very simple. First of all, the things in the United States. Since you already know the things I have done in the United States, then you must have some predictions about the next changes in the situation in the United States. My request is very simple, then That is, no matter what promises the U.S. government makes, even if they reach a deal with the European government, you have to do everything possible to prevent capital from flowing into the U.S.”
This first guarantee is not simple, because Ultron has already been able to deduce the result of doing so after only a little estimation.
First of all, because of Frank's actions, the turmoil caused within the United States will inevitably continue to expand, and even sweep the entire country like a tsunami. Leaving aside those direct or indirect economic losses, just the boiling of public grievances is no longer comparable to a California fire.
The fires in California have affected hundreds of thousands of people. If the government is determined to suppress them, they will barely be able to suppress them. However, the current situation is that almost all cities in the entire country have affected hundreds of millions of people, which is beyond the scope that the US government can suppress. In addition, unlike the California fires, which can be covered up as natural disasters, this is a complete man-made disaster. It is simply impossible to count on suppressing to stabilize the situation.
The only way to control the situation is to rebuild the energy system as soon as possible and restore social order. And as far as possible, economically compensate all the people who have lost their interests.
This is easy to say, but difficult to do. It's okay to say about energy and electricity. Although they don't have the latest nuclear fusion energy technology, power generation methods such as firepower and nuclear fusion are still very mature. In addition, the United States can be regarded as their home field, and the foundation of the original industrial system is still there. The original factories were only closed, rather than completely destroyed. So as long as they are given a little time, there is no problem in temporarily restoring energy and power supply.
The crux of the matter is money. Not only the funds needed for such restorative construction, maintaining social order and restoring urban functions all require money. And like the nationals, if they are not compensated for the losses they have suffered, do you think they will let it go? This is certainly impossible.
This is not a small amount. In terms of the current US government's fund reserves, even if you wipe them out, they will not be able to come up with the money.
Raise taxes? Do not make jokes. The thing that bothers them the most now is the public commotion. And if they put pressure on these people in a disguised form in order to increase government revenue, it is really a joke to think that they have a gun in their hands. Believe it or not, the staff here just charged an extra dollar. Tomorrow today, the history books will record that D.C. Washington is the place where the second American independence gunfire started.
With the lessons learned from Chile and France, the restoration government would not dare to play this kind of operation even if killed. So they can only find a way to find another way.
Selling U.S. debt may be a solution. But the premise is that others are willing to buy your U.S. debt. There is a lot of debt on the buttocks. The government debts of the past few decades and trillions of arrears are there. It is unrealistic to expect that the issuance of U.S. debt can solve this urgent need.
After all, it's Wang Xiaoer's new year, and every year is not as good as every year. In the earliest days, it was the world's biggest brother, and everyone rushed to buy your U.S. debt, even if they knew that your economy was in a recession. And when the government collapses and Stark takes over, the U.S. debt has already been reduced to yesterday's yellow flowers, a real outdated economic product.
But in any case, the U.S. debt at this time is still guaranteed to be collected in drought and flood. In view of the face of the Stark government, it will not be to the point of being pressed for debt.
And now, after the newly restored government made such a drama. There have been no less than a dozen countries sending messages overtly and secretly. On the one hand, it is to express condolences, and on the other hand, it is a hint that we have a U.S. debt that has expired. Can you see if we can cash it with interest.
It is enough to hope that this group of people will not rush to beat the dogs in the water at this time. It is better to hope that the broad masses of the people can let them go. So, this is actually not very realistic.
And when the numbers come and the numbers come, there are not many means that the restoration government can really use. The only feasible one among them is probably to open the market, exchange the market for capital entry, and at the same time use this aspect of negotiations to open a gap in the national debt.
Frank is guarding against this move, because he also knows very well in his heart that if the US government really has to do this, then according to the consistent thinking of those politicians in the past, Europe is their only choice.
Europe and the United States have always been in the same breath. Before that, because of the Stark government's repulsion and attack on the consortium, this connection was forced to be severed. Now that the U.S. government is under the control of the restoration regime, they who have retained the previous communication channels will naturally be able to restore this relationship soon.
Even without Frank's trick, it would have been a matter of time. Frank's current move is just to advance this kind of thing, and by the way, it also suppresses the benefits that a wave of restoration regimes can obtain. Let’s not talk about the impact on the capital behind these restored regimes. If the United States really opened up the market, then Europe would definitely be more than happy.
After all, the world is just that big, and one more market means one more income. Under the premise that the economy is in a recession and all countries have a lot of troubles, no one will refuse such a good thing.
And this is certainly a good thing for them, after all, each can be regarded as what they need. But that's not the case with Frank.
Once the restored government has survived this hurdle, it is conceivable what kind of means they will use to deal with Frank who pushed them to this point. Don't underestimate the power of a country, especially a country like the United States. Even if he has been reduced to this point again and again, he is still an old dog with a few teeth, and he cannot be dealt with easily.
Frank only wanted to protect himself against the U.S. government. Even though he was dissatisfied, he didn't mean to fight it to the death. Therefore, in his opinion, it is in his best interest to prevent the United States from getting help from Europe and let the restoration government be completely submerged by the vast ocean driven by the people.
In the eyes of Ultron, such a choice is really too much.
It's not that he sympathizes with the restoration government. In fact, based on his understanding of human beings over the years, he knows the nature of those politicians too well. It can be said that if he were to judge the politicians of this world based on his own judgment combined with the laws of various countries, it would definitely be unfair to beat all of them to death with one stick, but if nine out of ten were beaten to death, That must have been wrong.
He never sympathized with these politicians, even if they all died in front of him. But in his eyes, those innocent people who have been affected by the open and secret struggle between Frank and the restoration government are too worthy of sympathy.
God knows how many people have been hurt by the sudden shutdown of city functions. That is to say, a miracle happened just before, and the hospitals in the United States temporarily fell into a state of unemployment. Otherwise, just such a major power outage can directly affect the lives and deaths of many people.
Now, although it is said that such a serious accident will not occur, there will definitely be various emergencies and casualties caused by the sudden traffic paralysis.
Now the restoration government is taking the blame for Frank. After all, in the eyes of the public, Frank's life and death are still uncertain. No one would take anger at a child who didn't know how to live or die, even if it was Ultron who knew the truth, for the sake of the relationship between them, it could only be said that he turned a blind eye and chose to let it go.
It is impossible for him to say that he is acting as a substitute and disciplining Frank in place of Tony. Preaching like just now is already the limit of what he can do. But he was somewhat reluctant to let him help the evildoers and help Frank do evil in this matter.
"I don't understand why you want to do this. If you want to prevent those people from continuing to trouble you, I can mediate in it."
"No, and it's not just to solve my personal troubles. Do you think those restored governments can get better without me in the middle? Don't forget, the government-in-exile of Nick Fury's gang is terrible. Are they still entrenched in the dark? The timing is just right for them. Once you let European capital flow into the United States, the situation will become more chaotic. This is a question of long-term pain or short-term pain. If you If it’s really for the good of those humans, then you should know how to choose.”
