Chapter 878 Iron and Blood Means National Interest

what to do? This is actually a question with no second answer. Sure, certain so-called bigwigs who control most of the country's economy and resources are important, but compared to the hundreds of millions of ordinary people, they are not as important as they think. Especially when everything they have has been lost.

The core of this country is, after all, democratic. Democracy also means that although most of the time the country is controlled by those who are at the top. But at many critical times, those ordinary people at the bottom are the masters of this country. For example, now, whether to protect the interests of the minority or to protect the interests of the vast majority of ordinary people is an issue that does not need to be considered in Tony's eyes.

"Jarvis, control the flow of funds in the bank. No one is allowed to mobilize large-scale funds in any name. The stock market stops trading first. Also, contact the companies of those guys who have gone bankrupt in my name and tell those The management of the company, if they don’t want to be put in prison, will maintain the company’s superficial stability. I don’t want to see any company say that it’s bankrupt and then need to fire employees. Stability is the key at this time. On the matter, I authorize you to use omnics."

"Your Excellency, what about those who are bankrupt?"

Hearing what Tony said, an assistant beside him couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat. Few of those who can hold assistant positions in the White House have no connection with those big consortia. Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, they can't help but panic in their hearts.

Tony naturally knew the little thoughts of these people who ate inside and outside, but for this, he just pulled a disdainful sneer on his face, and then patted him on the shoulder and said to him.

"If you want, I think I can give you the job of appeasing them. But you have to think about it, they don't have so many political contributions to you now."

This sentence made his assistant shrink back. They don't have the courage to live and die with the loser.

The so-called politicians are a group of the most realistic people. When they can bring you benefits, they will help you at all costs, even by breaking the law. If you not only fail to bring them any benefits, but also bring them trouble, they will definitely let you know the majesty of the law and the fairness and toughness of law enforcement.

Funds, stocks and real estate, these are the foundations for those big figures in the past to maintain their lives and dominate the world. And now, when two of these three vanished, they lost more than two-thirds of their wealth. But all, and more.

They have become complete bankrupts, losers. And for the losers, no politician will give them his cheap sympathy.

So the assistant thought about it,

He said to Tony flatteringly.

"Your Excellency, leave the matter to me. They still have a lot of real estate in their hands. If they are allowed to do it indiscriminately, it is likely to have a greater impact on the already fragile financial market. I think I can To stop this, as long as you give me certain authority, I can guarantee that most of these real estates will be returned to the state."

Although it sounds cruel and has the meaning of adding insult to injury, this is the smartest way at the moment. For such a smart choice, Tony will naturally give some encouragement.

"Very well, since you said so, I will leave this matter to you. I will let the FBI fully cooperate with your actions, but you have to promise me two things. First, don't cause too many casualties Come on, they can kill themselves, but I don't want to see them take a large group of people to die. Second, I don't want the media to talk nonsense about this. This is a special time. You have to let these media know what is OK What is said, what cannot be said.”

This request is difficult. For the United States, which has always been free of speech, this is simply an act of rebellion. But the assistant only showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and then nodded vigorously.

"Leave it to me, Your Excellency the President. I promise you won't be disappointed!"

He swears by it because he knows exactly what it means. If he succeeds, it can be said that he will become a single leader in the new government team, and it is very possible that he will take over a top position in the future and become a key figure in the Stark government. This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and of course he will not miss it.

As for the guarantee of his assistant, Tony is also very relieved. This is a capable person, otherwise he would not be able to stand out among so many assistants and become his right-hand man in his daily work. As long as he does it seriously, with the assistance of the FBI, he can handle things well. So there is no need for him to worry too much about this.

His concern now is something else. For example, panic from the masses that may occur.

The crowd's panic stemmed from the instability of the stock market, which he had halted by temporarily suspending stock trading. All that remains is to appease the people, and the situation will not get worse. Of course, the stock market is in a mess, and the depreciation of a large number of stocks will inevitably cause certain losses, but I believe that Altron's move to disperse funds should relieve some of the pressure from the masses.

This is the only thing that makes Tony happy in Ultron's impulsive actions. He looted the entire stock market, turned countless stocks into liquid funds, and let the liquid funds wash some people's pockets. But he did not let these funds evaporate in the end, but let them enter the pockets of thousands of households. The main body of finance is still there, but the holders have changed temporarily, and this provides a lot of room for manipulation. space to ease the financial crisis.

As long as the country intervenes strongly and there are no outsiders making trouble. Then the situation won't get out of hand. Now the country has begun to intervene, and half an hour is enough to control the stability of the market before anyone can react. And the interference of outsiders?

Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but frowned, and then ordered to some of his other assistants.

"Notify the White House spokesperson to make a national announcement and blame the problem on the Hydra folks. Say they have a new computer virus and use it to attack our financial markets. Also, warn some people, don't Let them have a chance to take advantage of the fire. In addition, notify the leaders of various countries that I need to discuss something with them! As soon as possible!"

Blaming the enemy is a political requirement and a good way to avoid risks. After all, it is a group of anti-human organizations that everyone shouts and beats, but there is nothing they can do about it. Throwing dirty water on them is not only justified, but they have no way to argue. And most importantly, the masses will believe it. Although the U.S. government has always been known among its people for its unreliability, the Stark government is still rare, with a little credibility.

Of course, this causes a problem. That is, if this is the case, those former financial tycoons who went bankrupt will definitely find a way to get everything back. As for this idea, Tony has only one meaning, and that is daydreaming.

You know, their money has flowed into the pockets of countless people. As for matters related to their own interests, don't expect the people to have too much reason. Offending a group of people for the sake of one person is really stupid. And more importantly, they deserve what they deserve.

What Ultron looted was the financial tycoons behind the funds on Wall Street. They had no real property, but only countless stocks, funds and literally huge wealth. As they say, wealth always comes with risk. And now is their time to take risks. This can be regarded as their apology for the small shareholders who were played to death by them.

In addition, some large enterprises and consortiums in real industries have been purged. But the impact is not great, because the individual being washed, not the collective. Even if such a large industry wants to go bankrupt, it will not be so easy. As long as the government can control it, there should be no problem in maintaining stability.

Of course, this is just optimistic thinking. Tony knew very well that no matter how well he did, all of this would have a huge impact on the current financial market. Its scale is definitely not under the financial crisis that happened before World War II. It's just ridiculous that the financial crisis at that time suffered the majority of ordinary people, as well as some small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. But today's financial crisis has forced the descendants of those who once poured milk into the river to jump off the building.

Feng Shui turns! Tony can only use this Chinese saying to evaluate it. At the same time, he could not help but think about other things. For example, the reason why Ultron did this.

He had to admit that Ultron actually had benefits in doing so. If he doesn't suspend Ultron, then Ultron can clean up most of the private groups that control the lifeline of the country's economy. Don't doubt his ability, unless the Internet is completely abolished, he can definitely do this.

And once the people who hold 99% of the country's resources are cleared away and the resources in their hands flow into the market, the development of the whole country will be unprecedentedly improved. They even said that they truly achieved the freedom and equality of democracy they advertised.

But this is just a thought, and Tony knows very well that this is an unrealistic thing. Like now, just one knife move against this behemoth almost caused an invisible earthquake to occur in the entire country. If this is really the case, then the entire United States may cease to exist before everything is improved. This is something that is absolutely not allowed, and it is something that Tony cannot accept. After all, he still doesn't have the courage and determination of Ultron.

The determination of an intelligent life is simply a catastrophic existence. Thinking of this, Tony began to hesitate. He is really a little unclear now, how should he deal with Ultron! (To be continued.)
