Chapter 575: Which consortium doesn’t want to own its own planet?
The Rockefeller family has been developing this "Rockefeller Star" for thirty-five years. As one of the top ten established financial groups in the United States, both Rockefeller and Morgan Alliance immediately obtained their own planet and invested in it. resources for development.
At the beginning, because the number of planets that needed to be developed suddenly doubled, from a single one to several, in order to compete for precious human resources, various consortiums, families and the federal government came out with all kinds of lures to humans around the world. human conditions.
After entering the interstellar age, people on earth faced countless wastelands and finally realized the preciousness of human resources. After all, there are only so many humans on the earth, and every additional habitable planet is equivalent to a small share.
Without people, what's the use of controlling many planets?
Without human civilization, how can there be civilization?
In the early years, the people on earth finally enjoyed the treatment that the capitalists were clamoring for, waving their money.
This is naturally because the Eastern powers have also entered the interstellar era and the United States has lost its monopoly advantage.
Otherwise, there is no need for vicious competition to raise the price of labor.
In contrast, the great Eastern countries that entered the interstellar age a few years later still maintained their original social systems, so they were accustomed to concentrating their efforts on big things and did not expand blindly. They strived to build at least one large planet on every planet. After filling the city and completing the immigration process, proceed to the next planet.
Ten years later, the United States suddenly discovered that the development model of the Eastern powers was actually more efficient than their vicious competition model.
By the time they realized that they should give up "free marketism" and choose "state regulation", it was already too late, because every consortium has its own little ideas, and even every family in the consortium has its own ideas. I want to have a planet of my own.
It makes no sense that you Rockefellers, Morgans, and Duponts have obtained their own planet, and we, the weaker families, have to follow the federal government and eat soup, right?
You guys are using your precious human resources to develop your own planet, and you even have the hope of establishing an independent country in the future, so we have to stay under the flag of the United States for the rest of our lives?
Who doesn’t want to have their own planet? Who doesn’t want to keep their word? Which family patriarch doesn't have the dream of becoming king?
In the early days of the founding of the United States, the thirteen confederate states only retained the national flag for a long time. The states were still divided and governed, and coalition forces were formed to fight against foreign enemies when war broke out.
This model has lasted for more than a hundred years in the United States. Even during the Civil War, the Northern Industrial Group and the Southern Plantation Group still prepared alliances to form alliances, just like the alliance of princes during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
One of the important reasons why Lincoln was assassinated was that the businessmen were worried that the president, who was too popular, would take the opportunity to strengthen the authority of the federal government and even integrate the states to start the process of centralization.
I would rather build a memorial hall for him than let him live!
The same was true for Roosevelt, who led the United States to win World War II. The election results of "all the country was blue" not only frightened Roosevelt's opponents, but also frightened the conglomerate behind the scenes, so he could only die of illness before victory.
Indulgent selfish desires, free power, territorial awareness of consortia, etc.
This is an American tradition!
If the federal government is allowed to learn from the interstellar development model of the Eastern powers, not only will there be little hope of becoming the world leader alone, but it will also be more likely that the federal government will be reborn from the ashes in the process of integrating its forces for large-scale development.
After all, the enthusiasm of workers to change the world can collide with years of burning passion, allowing the government to strengthen its prestige in the process.
After the implementation of "Roosevelt's New Deal", there was also a brief period of passion in the United States.
Old-school Americans miss those days very much, but the capital consortium is afraid of them.
In the end, the United States can only bite the bullet and continue the "family development model" under the control of selfish desires, even if the efficiency is slower.
In fact, after seeing this scene, Tony Stark already knew that his persistence had failed. The United States, which had entered the interstellar era, was surpassed by the country on the other side of the ocean in terms of development efficiency due to the selfish desires of the consortium.
Lin Hao obviously did nothing, just threw out a star map, and under the protection of his predecessor Yu Yin, the great eastern country achieved results that surpassed the United States.
And he, who worked tirelessly to help the United States, just hoped that the capital consortium could slightly restrict his selfish desires and reduce some of the intensity of exploitation, but he ushered in endless counterattacks. But Tony still wants to try, try to lead the true patriots in the United States out of the model dominated by consortiums, stubbornly prove that American values have a positive effect, and prove that the capitalist model can still survive.
So he also selected a brand new planet for Stark Industries, selected young students in their prime from American universities, and planned to continue the greatness of America on this "blank piece of paper".
Does this operation sound familiar?
The bald principal once lamented that no one under his command was greedy, so he asked his son to form a "Youth Army", but the result...
Tony hasn't seen his results yet, but Steve Rogers, who is in the "Rockefeller Star", has seen that the capital consortium has once again refreshed his lower limit.
"Captain, do you know what the Rockefellers did again?"
It was naturally impossible for Steve to do nothing in the past fifty years. He saw the capital consortium reaching new limits again and again, and finally began to learn from his other self. He secretly formed a team with members spread across many planets, most of whom were against the consortium. Immigrants dissatisfied with policies.
This is obviously not the first time Steve has come to "Rockefeller Star". The man named Red in front of him is a construction worker. Thanks to the blessing of capitalists who spread money all over the world, he was an eighteen-year-old boy and chose I immigrated to "Rockefeller Star", which was still a wasteland, and worked here for more than thirty years.
It stands to reason that the salary offered to him by the Rockefeller family was five times that on earth. After working hard for more than thirty years, he should have become rich and well-off long ago, with a wife and children and a happy life.
Unfortunately, reality is completely different from fairy tales.
Not only does Rhett not have much savings, he has never married or started a family. He is still an old bachelor and spends more than half of his monthly salary in pubs and bathing centers.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Why not get a wife?
Because female immigrants are rarer and have more choices. If you don’t look for a white-collar worker or a gold-collar worker, why don’t you find a construction worker who sweats all day long?
He built countless high-rise buildings on the "Rockefeller Star", but he did not have a single room of his own. He is still crowded in the container-style work shed on the construction site.
This is why Red will join without hesitation when Steve expands his team.
He has nothing!
"Damn Rockefeller, they are just a bunch of leeches!" Rhett roared with a lot of alcohol coming out of his mouth: "They have increased my service years!"
"It was agreed upon for five years, and five years passed and another five years passed. I have worked for seven five years, and they still refuse to let me go back to Earth!"
Yes, Red wants to go home.
This damn interstellar era is not friendly to poor people like them at the bottom. They have spent most of their lives on this "Rockefeller Star", and they have gained nothing but injuries.
With such a bad life, it would be better to stay on earth.
Even immigrants who no longer have political thinking have figured out in the past few decades that the earth with many countries is more civilized than an alien planet controlled only by a single family.
At least, there is international public opinion on earth, but the public opinion on "Rockefeller Planet" can only sing praises for the Rockefeller family.
