Chapter 457: Huairou Policy

Two months after the purge, John officially lifted the first purge of populists in American history, and the three-month period of repression officially ended.

Black people, gangsters, and populists have been subjected to the harshest repression in history in three months, with 100,000 people being sent to Alaska to serve their sentences, and the climate in the United States has changed as a result, with overall satisfaction and confidence in the government restored.

Of course, the United States has also managed to become the object of global attention in the past three months.

There is no way, every move of the superpower will attract attention, let alone such a big move.

Among them, some countries and media like to attract people's attention, saying that the US government is too domineering, too undemocratic, and uses violence to suppress the people.

In response to this statement, the White House spokesman unanimously replied that the United States should not be able to make irresponsible remarks about its own internal affairs, so it should pay more attention to its own country and less leisure work.

The United States has always been so tough.

Of course, after all, the countries that speak the opposite tone are in the minority, and most of the countries choose to pay silent attention and not express any opinions, after all, as the White House spokesman said, this is the internal affair of the United States itself, and it is not good to interfere by itself, and the strength of the United States is there, and you don't have the strength to interfere if you want to.

As for those blind foreign media, John warned him first, if he didn't listen to the greetings and then forced, then he would directly block the companies of these media in the United States and prohibit these media from publishing content in the United States.

The United States has its own media and does not need the media of other countries to be coerced into the United States to act as a fighter for human rights and make irresponsible remarks about the internal affairs of the United States.

Of course, this is also because of the continuous high-pressure policy, it is not appropriate to expand the scope of the attack, and the top priority now is to use the soft policy to calm the people's hearts, so John does not want to worry about these media for the time being, and when the people's hearts are almost stable, it is not too late to clean up.

However, whether it is the blind media or other countries, there is a consensus in their hearts, that is, the United States is becoming less and less like the United States, and this country is taking a new attitude towards both domestic and foreign countries.

After the repressive policies were lifted, John formulated a policy of softness to calm the people's minds, but these policies required the consent of the elder Morgan before they could be implemented.

Old Morgan would rest for half an hour after lunch every day at noon, and John calculated that after the rest of Old Morgan was over, he found Old Morgan with the plan he had made.

"Father, are you busy now?" said John as he walked into the old Morgan's study with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter, tell me. Morgan Sr. asked, closing the papers in his hand, leaning back in his chair.

"I have some plans that I would like to discuss with you. John handed the papers to Morgan Sr., pulled out his chair and sat down.

Old Morgan took the folder and flipped through it, then looked up at John. "You're going to build infrastructure?"

"Yes. ”

John nodded.

What could be a softer policy than building infrastructure and improving people's lives?

The last time the United States focused on infrastructure construction was in the 50s, and since then it has not done infrastructure construction, and much of the infrastructure has basically aged or can no longer keep up with development needs.

The New York subway, for example, is nearly a hundred years old.

And the current railroads were all built before World War II.

Interstate highways are not accessible in many places.

New York and Los Angeles are business card cities, and the greening and public toilets are not up to standard.

Therefore, John is ready to focus on infrastructure construction, renovate the infrastructure of the whole country, rebuild the infrastructure that should be rebuilt, improve the living environment of the people, and the speed of travel, so that the people are satisfied.

Another point is that infrastructure is one of the three carriages of economic growth, and John's focus on infrastructure this time can not only drive industries and increase employment, but also allow the economic growth of the United States to enter a high-speed period.

"Four trillion dollars is not too much!"

Morgan Sr. agreed to engage in infrastructure construction, after all, there are many benefits, but he has some views on the amount of investment. "The U.S. economy has just recovered, and with so much money thrown at once, it is likely that there will be a deficit again. ”

"Father, the domestic economy has recovered, the government deficit has not only been eliminated, but the balance has reached $60 billion, and now we can save $400 billion a year from the government sector, which is four trillion dollars in ten years, which is enough to support infrastructure, and there will be no government deficit. ”

Since the Department of Defense was exposed to corruption, the budget of the Ministry of Defense has been cut by 30 percent, and the Department of Justice has also significantly reduced its budget because of the merger of federal courts and local courts, and in addition to the reduction in military disarmament and weapons procurement, these three gold-swallowing beasts can save $300 billion a year, and other federal governments have also been cut off part of their budgets, adding up to $400 billion a year is not a problem

The U.S. government is very rich, and the reason why it ran a government deficit of tens of trillions of dollars in its previous life was entirely because of the financial crisis, the two wars, and the massive procurement of weapons in order to maintain the armed forces, so it made itself poor.

This life is different, John vigorously developed the economy, manufacturing, exports have been greatly improved, especially exports increased by 30 percent, mainly driven by Russia and India, now the GDP of the United States has exceeded 8 trillion US dollars, according to this growth rate, when Clinton leaves office, the GDP of the United States can reach at least 110,000 US dollars.

"You can do it! I'll talk to the Rockefellers. "After Morgan Sr. learned that the government would not run a deficit, he agreed to build infrastructure, infrastructure can drive the economy, and the better the economy, the richer the government, this is a good cycle, and he has no reason not to agree.

"Thank you, father. ”

John smiled and got up to leave, but old Morgan suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, John, what do you think about Russia's application to join NATO?"

John didn't expect old Morgan to suddenly ask this question.

It is difficult for John to answer this question, so to speak, he is in a dilemma.

On the side of the United States, he will definitely raise his hands to welcome Russia into NATO.

Russia's accession to NATO will bring the confrontation between the United States and Russia to a complete end, the United States will not have to invest huge sums in military affairs, and its finances will be much looser at once, and the United States will be able to expand eastward and decompose Eastern Europe in a bright and open manner, and more importantly, the United States can use this to force Britain, France, and Germany into these countries.

Britain, France and Germany dreamed of European integration, formed the European Union, and tried to sweep away the power of the United States in Europe, and the United States needed their backing for its eastward expansion, so they had no choice but to compromise step by step, agreeing that they would form the European Union and issue the euro.

Now as long as Russia joins NATO, the United States can use Russia to exert pressure on Britain, France and Germany, break these countries one by one, and completely amputate the European Union.

Therefore, Russia's accession to NATO will have many benefits for the United States.

However, there is still a little bit in John's heart that he does not want Russia to join NATO.

Russia's accession to NATO, which means that Russia will immediately relieve the strategic pressure of the West on it, without strategic pressure, the woolly bear will do things, the east does not let him expand, he will run to the west The pressure of the rabbit will be great, or also join NATO, but at that time the conditions for joining are bound to increase, at least the transparency of military spending This rabbit will not agree, if you choose to continue to develop independently, then the final result is likely to be like Japan, become an economic giant, a political dwarf.

"Father, I don't know much about international affairs, you can just take the decision, but I think we should wait, the Russian president is about to change, and we should at least wait until the new millennium to think about it. ”

John is ready to use procrastination, and after dragging the rabbit's economic and military strength up, he can compete with Maozi, and after considering Maozi's entry into NATO, this is the only thing he can do.
