After President Davin Porter's speech, the venue fell silent again.

Unable to

To avoid embarrassment from the president, Adam Smith, the national security adviser of the previous administration, who entered the cabinet as Secretary of the Army, said with a dry cough twice;

"Gentlemen, I think the feasibility of this proposal should be carefully discussed. After decades of development, the United States is much richer than France. Whether from the perspective of national security or economic security, we must get rid of the restraint of the Ocean Empire as soon as possible and achieve the goal of national development independence."

The United States is a typical small government and a capitalist structure of a big society. Since its founding, a pioneer of the founding of the country, full of liberal and democratic ideals, formulated a check and balance mechanism in the Constitution that restricted government power, implemented the separation of powers of the government, parliament and courts, restricted government functions, and restricted the size and expansion of the army to prevent the emergence of military power.

Therefore, compared with the French government, the US government has less power, and its military power is dominated by militia and supplemented by the mainland army. This pattern was not until after World War II that the US military power expanded rapidly to an unstoppable point, which completely changed the situation.

Now, the government is very weak.

The United States is different from France. The words of Army Minister Adam Smith were refuted by many cabinet ministers. The reason is that the US government does not have such force to mobilize large capitalists to actively invest. Private property is written into the Magna Carta. The government lacks the necessary means and legal basis, which forces banks and large capitalists to pay.

The meeting will be held until evening

Everyone still failed to reach a unified opinion, nor did they find a way to solve the restraint of the Ocean Empire. Whether it is economic, industrial, financial or security issues, the Ocean Empire came to an abrupt end and turned into an unsolvable problem.

President Davenport, who was exhausted, had no choice but to announce the end of the meeting, leaving only Army Secretary Adam Smith and National Security Adviser McKennan for private policy communication.

"Adam, will we be able to get enough support for the war against Japan next year?" The motion to repay the war reparations in advance was just a fake shot. This is what President Davin Porter really cares about.

He won the election by winning the Mexican region. In recent years, the American people have had a low evaluation of their ruling ability. The public's approval rating has risen from a maximum of 50% when he was elected president to 66.7%, and has dropped all the way to 27.3% today, far behind the Republican presidential campaigner Tafto's 44.1% support rate. The president's re-election election is worrying.

Starting a war again is the weapon of a comeback in his hands.

"The Ocean Empire displays 400,000 heavy troops in the Rocky Mountains, and we must have enough chips to take them out and trade. As far as I know, the dictator emperor has always had a big appetite, and we don't have the second Alaska now." Adam Smith spread his hands in annoyance.

McKennan said thoughtfully, "This is indeed the biggest problem we face, and it cannot meet the demands of the dictatorial emperor. No one knows when the basin of water above his head will rush down from the Rocky Plateau? It will ruthlessly deprive our victory.

We have control over the upper and lower houses of parliament, and it is not difficult to pass the president's war bill, but it is difficult to convince the dictator emperor of the Ocean Empire.

Recently, the rising "local currency settlement requirements" of the Ocean Empire capital side should attract our high attention.

Due to the European War, the franc and Spanish peso have severe fluctuations in value and both depreciated, and many export merchants have suffered many unnecessary exchange losses.

Therefore, the investors of the Ocean Empire proposed the requirement of "Jinyang Loan, Jinyang Settlement" for international trade and tried to promote this trade model to the entire field of international settlement.

And in this regard, the biggest resistance is us.

The reason is very simple;

The Ocean Empire occupied 70% of the trade with Europe, the United States accounted for 25% of the trade with Europe, and the remaining half was Argentina, who mainly exported grain, oil products and frozen meat. However, the trade with Europe between the Republic of China and Fuso was very small and negligible.

Only when our country's policy makes major concessions and cooperates with the Ocean Empire's "Golden Ocean Settlement" requirements can this measure be promoted to the entire European market.

They are unwilling to accept francs, marks, and liras, so European orders will flow to the United States, which is an obvious see-through game.

But agreeing to the demands of the Ocean Empire will seriously damage the credibility of the US currency. Both US and European trade are settled with Jinyang. Where is the credibility of the US dollar?"

After saying that, he looked at the thoughtful President Davin Porter, closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

As a White House security adviser, he took out all possible options and analyzed the pros and cons of them. The final decision was in the hands of the president.

With such a major issue, President Davenport obviously could not make a decision immediately. He said cautiously;

"This proposal is important, we need to seek more possibilities.

I always feel that there is something unsettling about sacrificing the US dollar's position in international trade in order to relax the noose in the Ocean Empire.

The question now is which one is more important?

Arizona will be brought back no matter what. Its existence not only sets an extremely bad example for the split states in the south, but also is a huge shame that cannot be avoided in the history of the United States. Only by completely expelling the Fusans from North America can we regain the status of a world power.

The United States, whose territory is occupied by other countries, will never win respect internationally.

And we cannot leave hidden dangers for the future development of the United States, so we need options b and options c."

Today's US dollar accounts for a small proportion in the world trading system, and due to the fact that currency is linked to gold, there is very little room for monetary policy to be implemented, which is the most likely policy concession to be selected.

As I said, there is no second Las Vegas in the United States.

President Davin Porter will make an official state visit to the Ocean Empire next spring. He cannot come up with a bargaining chip that will make the dictatorial emperor excited. It is purely a dream to do things in Arizona. Don't forget the accident that happened in the first US-Japan War.

If you do it again, no matter how strong your nerves are, they will be broken and you will be scared to death.

In fact

President Davin Porter was already moved when National Security Advisor McKennan talked about this.

After all, this is not to let all the Fed's gold be shipped to the Ocean Empire Bank for storage, and the Ocean Empire guarantees the reputation of the US dollar. In that case, it would be equivalent to giving up control of the currency and seriously hurting national sovereignty.

It seems that it is not that difficult to accept just by matching Jinyang International Settlement.

Because of Wall Street, Americans have a much deeper understanding of finance and currency than other countries, and are more cautious and conservative in this regard.

In the original history

In order to harvest the wealth of the Republic of China, the United States once issued the "Silver Act", which led to a surge in silver prices. A large amount of silver in the Republic of China flowed into the United States, causing serious difficulties in commodity circulation.

As a last resort, the government's silver and gold stored in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was deposited into the vault of the US Federal Reserve Bank of New York...

The war in the financial field does not have smoke but kills people invisibly, deeply eroding the foundation of a country. This is a powerful means.

Due to the times, the top political elites in the United States cannot understand this thoroughly.

For the United States, which is dismembered, occupied by territory, controlled by customs and fiscal taxes, forced to sell its territory in order to pray for tolerance, and bears huge war compensation, it seems that it is not so unacceptable to sell some monetary sovereignty.

The bottom line is broken again and again, and it will not be difficult to break through again.

When McKennan and Adam Smith left the White House, it was already late at night. They walked to the car on the side of the road and looked back. The lonely light was still on.

The two sighed lightly and said goodbye to each other and got in the car and left one after another.

In the Oval Office

President Davin Porter sat behind the table with a bottle of tequila in front of him. He drank two glasses by himself, and an unhealthy fluffy smear appeared on his face.

The decision has been made at this time;

In order to continue political life, in comparison, it is not difficult to cooperate with the international trade policy of Jinyang Settlement in the Ocean Empire. That's not the first time that the autonomy of finance and security has been sold. What's so rare?

What President Davin Bert is really worried about is that even such a large policy concession may not necessarily satisfy the dictatorial emperor.

He knew very well that he was a man with a bigger appetite than the sky.

The requests made either make you unbearable or heartbroken, such as making Florida independent or establishing formal diplomatic relations with the Republic of California, recognizing the independence of the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Virginia, or giving up financial autonomy.

Anything is painful to cut the flesh.

On the train

Li Fushou sat in the extremely luxurious royal private room, looking at the beautiful castles and manors in the empty fields in the distance, looking at the endless golden waves of wheat, and large areas of cattle and sheep.

In several states in Australia

Queensland is an extremely heavy industrial state, with industrial output accounting for 7.7% of the entire Australian mainland, New South Wales has an economic structure dominated by light industry, supplemented by education and agriculture and animal husbandry, while Victoria has an economic structure dominated by mining and agriculture and animal husbandry, with industry accounting for less than 10%.

Therefore, Victoria is full of beautiful pastoral scenery, with aristocratic fiefs, and dominated society with large and medium landlords and many small landlords. It is a state that supports the empire the most devotedly. It is the standard royalist state and the base camp of the empire's conservatives.

The Fourth Armored Division of the Royal Imperial Guards was withdrawn from North America and was stationed here. The Fifth and Sixth Divisions of the Imperial Guards after the expansion were also located here. They recruited loyal cowboys from the local area. Some whites were more Chinese-born children, and they were all second-generation young people who grew up on this land.
