Black Palace!
Moi Mikel, the Minister of Energy of the United States, stood like a quail, dejectedly standing in front of President Jesmin.
Also on the side were Defense Minister Selim Harmon and CAI Director Judien.
This is a relatively private meeting. Mikel is also one of Jesmin's cronies, so he appears here to participate in this high-level secret meeting of the beautiful country.
"Your Excellency, President, I'm sorry, I can't stop the popularization of Jieke Group's bio-battery. The advantages of that kind of bio-battery are too great."
Mikel said weakly that he had also made efforts before, but technological innovation was just like when cars replaced carriages and mobile phones replaced letters. Even the Blue Star Overlord of Beautiful Country could not stop the innovations brought about by technological progress.
The elimination of fuel vehicles is like a tsunami. He, the Minister of Energy of the beautiful country, is also powerless and can only watch bio-batteries enter every car and enter thousands of households.
Jasmin frowned, knocked on the table, and said in a heavy tone: "How is the result of the imitation? Is there any hope of obtaining this kind of bio-battery technology? Even if the energy density is lower, it is acceptable."
Biological batteries have brought a lot of pressure to the president of this beautiful country. There is dissatisfaction from major oil companies internally, and pressure from juniors in multiple oil-producing countries externally.
Of course he knew that this possibility was low, but he still couldn't help but hope that even if they could imitate a weaker bio-battery, they could make up for the losses they suffered from oil. As long as Jay was not allowed to It would be fine if the Science and Technology Group alone dominates the market.
"It cannot be copied. According to the reports of the following experimenters, many materials for this kind of bio-battery cannot be found at all, and imitation is impossible."
Mikel said without hesitation, he gathered several countries When it comes to biobattery imitation by top-level laboratories, the answers they give are completely impossible to imitate. They don't even have the idea of this biobattery technology.
What is hateful is that Jieke Group has not registered any patents at all. Otherwise, the technical ideas of this kind of bio-battery can be explored from the patents.
Hearing this answer, the disappointment on Jasmine's face was visible to the naked eye, and she could only shift her attention and look at Judith aside.
"Judith, how is the situation in the Middle East?"
"The situation is extremely bad. Because the international crude oil price has plummeted, those countries are now in great conflict."
Judith hesitated for a moment. One of the hegemonies of the beautiful country is the petrodollar. The beautiful country uses various means to control the Middle East. Block the world's oil treasure trove and link it to the U.S. dollar, making a lot of money every year.
But the arrival of bio-batteries will have a huge impact on oil.
Although the produced oil can not only be used for automobile fuel, oil is also an important chemical raw material.
There is no doubt that automobiles are the largest consumer market for oil after all.
Nowadays, new energy vehicles equipped with bio-batteries are selling like hotcakes, and everyone is buying new energy vehicles one after another. Everyone can see that in the future, new energy vehicles will dominate the world, and the value of oil will seriously decline.
The petrodollar foundation that the beautiful country has always controlled has been fundamentally shaken. To put it more seriously, it is not an exaggeration to say that the foundation of the country has been shaken.
“Countries in the Middle East attribute the decline in crude oil to us, and their internal conflicts are moving outward, so they have chosen Taipei as their target. According to the intelligence we have, many Middle Eastern countries are increasingly targeting us. The Squid Kingdom is dissatisfied, and the war is likely to expand. "
Judien looked solemn. Those Middle Eastern countries have become rich on oil. When bio-batteries came out, crude oil fell, and they suffered heavy losses.
These countries in the Middle East are too far away from the Jieco Group. There is nothing they can do about the Jieco Group. Besides, they don’t dare to mess with them, so they blame the beautiful country.
They spend so many dollars every year to purchase arms and pay protection fees to the beautiful country. However, the beautiful country has not expressed its position at all. Facing the biological batteries, they are helpless. Naturally, they are very dissatisfied and want to attack Squid Taiguo, the agent of the beautiful country. Take action.
Since you didn’t express your stance when you were bullied, we won’t pay the protection fee, so everyone chose Squid Taiguo as their target.
Who doesn’t know that Squid Taiguo is the agent deliberately placed in the Middle East by Meiliguo. Through Squidatia, it threatens and beats the countries in the Middle East so that they have to rely on Meiliguo.
If we can’t defeat Jieke Group, we can’t defeat you, Squid Kingdom!
It just so happens that they have a bloody feud with the Squid Kingdom. The Arabs have no good impression of the Squid Kingdom. It just so happens that the price of crude oil plummeted. Domestic oil companies related to this have laid off a large number of layoffs, lowered wages, and the quality of life of the people has declined. People's dissatisfaction is boiling and internal conflicts are numerous. It is precisely through external wars that internal conflicts are transferred out in the form of external wars.
As for the target of this foreign war, for the countries in the Middle East, is there any better target than the erected target of Squid Kingdom?
Jesmine was able to become the president, and her brain was naturally very bright. She analyzed the truth of the matter from Judith's words and snorted coldly.
"There are all kinds of cats and dogs in the Middle East. They dare to jump up and bark indiscriminately. They can't recognize their identity. Squid Tai Kingdom cannot be chaotic now. This is our bottom line."
Scene. The three of them had already expected it, and Jasmine's answer was no surprise.
The Squid Kingdom is extremely important to the beautiful country. In addition to geopolitical factors, the existence of the Squid Kingdom is equivalent to a sharp sword for the beautiful country in the Middle East, which can tear apart the Arab countries in the Middle East and prevent The Arab world is politically integrating and taking control of its petrodollar hegemony.
On the other hand, Squids have deep roots in this beautiful country, and many Squids are famous financial company bosses.
Including the famous Wall Street, Taipei forces occupy half of the country. Their power in the political, cultural, and economic fields of the United States is unfathomable, so much so that it can influence the foreign policy of the United States' political arena to a certain extent.
We are all smart people. The Squid are too powerful in the beautiful country. The capital they control makes the beautiful country government have to consider their ideas. Even among the politicians present, there are Squids behind the scenes. Donors provide political donation support.
“It’s the Jacko Group again. They can’t stop for a while. They’ve been causing trouble all day long. Your Excellency, President, we can’t let it go any longer.”
Photographed by Secretary of Defense Harmon. He stood up from the table, his face full of anger.
Harmon is not a militant, but now even he can't stand it. This shows how much the biological battery has affected the beautiful country. Even Harmon, a conservative, wants to end it.
Jesming was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Has the military found a way to deal with the cruise arsenal ship?"
Jeco Group is now the overlord of Southeast Asia. Under the influence of the Jieko Group, the Southeast Asian countries were integrated to form SAARC, with Su Jie proclaiming himself the head of state.
Although the beautiful country has never publicly recognized the Jieco Group and Su Jie, it has to be said that the strength of the Jieco Group makes even the beautiful country fear three points.
When the Jieco Group annexed those countries in Southeast Asia, the beautiful country wanted to end it several times, but then they all gave up and retreated because of the Jieco Group's abundant martial ethics. Among them, the Devourer-class cruiser is the one that makes the beautiful country feel like it is facing a formidable enemy.
This kind of cruise arsenal ship can dive into the deep sea and carry hundreds of missiles. It poses a great threat to the aircraft carrier battle group.
When Harmon heard Jasmin ask this question, he looked a little embarrassed, but he still bit the bullet and said: "According to our sand table deduction, if we can mobilize three aircraft carrier battle groups, we will be able to fight at sea." The chance of winning is 70%.”
“Only 70%!”
Jesmine’s expression is not good, and the 70% chance of winning is not safe.
Anything can happen in a naval battle, and the aircraft carrier battle group is the cornerstone of a beautiful country's hegemony. If something goes wrong, the impact will be huge.
Even if they win, if they win miserably, even if the beautiful country wins, the hegemony of the beautiful country will be shaken, which is more serious than the shaken oil hegemony.
The beautiful country deters the whole world and orders other countries by relying on strong force. Once the weakness of the beautiful country is seen, it will not be easy to be the world police in the future.
This is like a gang leader. When you are strong, your younger brother will naturally obey your orders. When you are declining, your younger brother will naturally have evil intentions.
Stop being obedient and consider yourself a loyal younger brother without thinking about how to unseat the boss and ascend to the top.
There is never friendship between countries, only interests.
Not to mention the domineering and arrogant behavior of Beautiful Country, other countries will definitely not have a good impression of him.
Only because of the dominance of Blue Star's force, everyone has to hold their noses and obey the orders of the Beautiful Country, including the younger brothers like South Korea and Sakura Country. Once the Beautiful Country declines and the dog's leash is loosened, they must not bite back their masters.
"Your Excellency, the emergence of bio-batteries, they are not willing to share even the slightest benefit. We are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with the Jieke Group. Other countries are also very dissatisfied with it. We can win over more people. Allies.
Even if they do not become our allies, they will not interfere with our military operations. Including the Bear Country, they are also major exporters of crude oil and have also been severely affected by the impact of bio-batteries. .”
Harmon's eyes flashed. The hegemony of petrodollars is too important to the beautiful country. If the beautiful country does not intervene, this hegemony will be lost in the future.
On the contrary, it is best to defeat the Jieke Group and let them spit out the benefits of bio-battery, which is in line with the plan of their beautiful country.
“Sakura Country and South Korea will obey our orders. The British Empire is making trouble in the crude oil market. The large number of overseas oil fields they hold have suffered heavy losses. Germany has a large number of old fuel vehicle companies, and its market share has been eroded by the new energy of bio-batteries. Car squeeze, maple leaf country here .These countries all hope to become our allies. The pressure from the whole world is on the Jieco Group. We must show our determination to the Jieco Group, even if it means fighting."
Harmon's tone became more intense. He is becoming more and more high-spirited, and those who don’t know better may think that he is a hawk.
"Admiral Harmon, you are too radical."
Judith is actually a hawk, but he advocates restricting the Jieco Group from all aspects. Even a hawk like Harmon, who wants to start a bloody war and take risks with the aircraft carrier battle group, feels that The conservative on the other side is too radical.
"Hmph, it's obvious that you are too conservative. If you keep compromising with the Jieko Group, the other party will become more and more arrogant. You will not get any good results by swallowing your anger."
Harmon glared at Judith. , the beard on his face was fluttering, extremely angry.
Judien refused to give in and shook his head: "The Jieco Group is not the small countries we have dealt with before. The other party is the overlord of Southeast Asia and has a strong military. How can we start a war on the spur of the moment? This is not a child. "Playing house."
Harmon curled his lips and said unhappy when Judien didn't give him face. : "That's not because you let it go in the past. If you had suppressed the Jieco Group with all your strength when it first started to rise, the Jieco Group would have been solved long ago. How could it have become like this? After all, it's not because of your intelligence work. Do a good job and ignore this terrible cancer growing in Southeast Asia.”
After all, Judith is also the director of the CIA and has her own temper. When she saw Harmon making fun of her, she immediately taunted him back.
“It’s ridiculous. Is your military doing its job well? Don’t think I don’t know. The large amount of military aid we provided to Johor, Temasek, Java, and Luzon was originally to strengthen the local military strength and blockade To compete with the Jieko Group, a large amount of military aid expenses disappeared. Do you understand, the purchase price of a coffee cup is as high as 1,280 US dollars?”
“That’s enough!”
Jesmine snorted, interrupting the quarrel, and stopped Judith from continuing. Go on, this kind of thing is something that even he, the president, is taboo on, and Judien can't handle it.
Judien, who was a little excited, reacted, her back was slightly soaked with cold sweat, and there was a feeling of fear in her heart.
Although he is a close confidant of Jasmine, his impact is too great.
As the director of the CIA, he really went against the behemoth of the military-industrial complex and went to investigate the corruption of the American army. He might be shot seven times in the back and commit suicide tomorrow.
Harmon looked gloomy and glared at Judith, and the scene fell into silence for a moment.
“As for what you said, Harmon, I agree in principle. I will first try to discuss and cooperate with other countries on joint operations, and start military mobilization of the Jieco Group, deploy troops, and make war plans. .”
Jasmine continued to speak, looking at Harmon, and made a certain compromise.
"Your Excellency, I propose to dispatch the Reagan aircraft carrier battle group, the Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group, and the Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group, a total of three aircraft carrier battle groups to ensure our maritime combat effectiveness. In addition, we will dispatch the maritime forces of Sakura and South Korea, and .”
Harmon was refreshed and started talking.
After Harmon finished speaking, Jasmine knocked on the table and said seriously: "Remember, the army does not have my orders and must exercise restraint. Any behavior that may lead to conflict must be followed by me." Please give me instructions. At the moment, the main thing is to show off muscles and exert military pressure to make the Jieco Group submissive. If we can solve the problem with the Jieco Group through negotiation, then we must solve it through negotiation. It must not be done. Open fire rashly, do you hear me clearly?"
Harmon nodded repeatedly and solemnly said: "Mr. President, please rest assured that our army has strict military orders and will never fire first."< br>
Jesmine felt a little at ease. He didn’t want a war to break out with the Jieko Group when he was in power. It would be better if he won, but if he lost.
Jasmine shuddered and simply didn't dare to think about it. (End of this chapter)
