Soon after Morgan entered the estate, the meeting officially began.

The solemn and elegant conference hall is covered with decorations from more than 100 years ago, surrounded by stained glass walls more than three meters high, with a round table in the middle.

Dozens of middle-aged people with gloomy expressions sat around, they were all at the helm of the major consortia of the Eagle Country, and thanks to the technology of the Shensi Group, they were much older than they looked.

These people rarely appear in the media, and although the vast majority of the world does not know them, they have been able to turn the course of the superpower of the Eagle Nation to some extent.

Of course, it has not yet reached the level of conspiracy theories on the Internet, and the consortium's control of the Eagle Nation is just an exaggeration.

It is impossible for the upper echelons of any country to be truly controlled by a small group of people, and the same is true for the Eagle Nation.

The upper echelons of the Eagle Country are not only wrestling with major consortia, but also filled with countless industry unions, giant companies, various racial forces and countless other large and small interest groups.

Consortiums are just one of the more powerful groups of these interest groups.

There was considerable disharmony among the interest groups, each with their own ideas and interests, constantly clashing, compromising, confronting, cooperating, and finally deciding the policy of the Eagle Nation through Congress and the White House.

There are actually two things where the consortium is stronger than other interest groups, one is that it is really rich enough to influence elections at all levels.

The other is concentration.

Consortiums are mostly based on internal marriages, and the number of people who are really in power is smaller, and the density of wealth and power is much higher than that of other interest groups, so the ability to act is naturally stronger.

If the major consortia come together as a force, they will inevitably exert tremendous influence on Congress and the White House, but unfortunately the relationship between the conglomerates has never been harmonious.

There's a war going on in the conference room.

Everyone represents different interests, some are generous, some are scolding, some are gloomy and angry, some are worried, and some are clearly staying out of the way to watch a good show, such as Morgan.

"The great Eagle has reached the most dangerous moment, and the appearance of the Galaxy 1 launch vehicle shows that they have surpassed us in terms of strategic strike force, and we must take immediate action to stop the spread of this dangerous technology before they have completed the upgrade of military equipment."

"Come on, how do you know that they haven't finished upgrading their military equipment? Maybe the nuclear warheads have already been installed on the Galaxy I! We're killing ourselves now by doing it." ”

"Hehe, Ying Lijian is far from the most dangerous moment, the land under our feet is still the most powerful country in the world, if you want to say the danger, it is the oil industry under your control, right? Hahaha! Felina, you also have today!"

"You!"

"It is absolutely not feasible to start a war! Whether it is laser weapons, space-based systems, or mecha troops, or the current Galaxy Type 1, we cannot resolve them, and a forced attack will inevitably pay a huge price. However, we can take an offensive posture, continue to expand the arms race, increase investment in aircraft, aircraft carriers, and other munitions, and force China to join us in increasing investment, thus dragging down China's economy!"

"Citi wants to sell arms, just say that there are no fools here! Don't use the collapse of China's economy as an excuse. And judging by the current state of the economy, I think we're the ones who will be dragged down first!"

"No, we must convince Congress and the President to go to war immediately, tear apart the Ponder Group, and divide their technology!"

"You've drunk too much, haven't you? How can you get the technology of Shensi Group if you don't defeat Huaguo? And we Meilong are banks, what's the use of those technologies? It's not cheaper for you, what good do we have?"

Heywood Manor is elegant and solemn, and has always been full of top dignitaries, even if there is a conflict, it will be more restrained, and it is rare to see this kind of scene of direct scolding on the street, Morgan watched it with relish, and his mind was spinning wildly.

The situation is now clear, and it is very difficult for consortia to come together.

Rockefeller and DuPont, who had huge interests in petroleum and chemical products, were so angry that they wanted to start a war immediately, tear up the Shensi Group, and divide the patents.

Citi's arms dealers are much more sensible, and they also want to open war weapons, of course, it is not advisable to fight, and it is more in their interests to sell some arms for show.

Morgan, the tycoons of the banking industry, have no bitter hatred, are unwilling to make it bigger, and have a very ambiguous attitude, but in fact, the economic crisis is the biggest opportunity for them.

The stock market is falling sharply, but the stocks are still in hand, and those stock markets will rise sooner or later, and their losses are just paper figures.

If some companies fail, it's even better, and financial speculators and bankers can enter the market.

Except for a few companies that were indeed hit by Shensi Group, most of them were just a joint reaction under panic.

They are more like vultures in this stock market crash, waiting for an opportunity to devour more flesh and blood.

This was the eleventh meeting between them, and the number of people present was increasing, but there was no unified plan for a long time.

The meeting broke up.

Morgan sat alone in the empty conference hall, silently looking out at the dark forest.

The convoy slowly left, and the lights were like living snakes of light in the forest.

This negotiation failed again, because the parties who advocated the war were unwilling to offer more benefits, and Morgan and they began to make peace with the mud.

What's more, consortium alliances are not omnipotent.

If other forces such as trade unions and rifle associations do not react too violently, they may be able to influence the direction of the country, but how can such a thing as a war with the world's second largest country not cause a huge reaction.

Click, click.

Footsteps sounded, and the four heads of the house, who were supposed to have left, returned to the hall.

Morgan smiled:

"You saw the reaction of those people just now, you don't have any doubts, right?"

The four of them sat down, and Calderon of the Meilong consortium sneered:

"They're crazy. ”

Morgan nodded, clapped his palms, and the old butler appeared silently, putting down a blank piece of paper with a long list of numbers printed on it in front of everyone.

Morgan smiled:

"Then let's go in together, that Dongfang genius is probably impatient to wait. ”

The four nodded, looked down at the white paper, and transmitted it to DT3 through visual signals, instantly appearing in a dark gray virtual conference room.

The conference room was very large, about a thousand square meters, empty and empty.

Only Jiang Yuan stood by the window alone, looking at the snow outside.

As soon as the five of them entered, Jiang Yuan turned his head and smiled politely:

"Hello gentlemen, it is a pleasure to see you, please be seated. ”

After speaking, a chair appeared in front of everyone, and everyone sat down one after another.

Calderon didn't sit down, he remembered that his assets were continuing to shrink in the stock market crash caused by the Shensi Group, and his heart ached inexplicably, and he said coldly:

"But I'm not happy at all. ”

Jiang Yuan had already sat down, and spread his hands indifferently and said:

"Then you can only continue to be unhappy. ”

Calderon looked directly at Jiang Yuan and sat down through gritted teeth.

Morgan glanced at Calderon and cursed in his heart, what is the point of saying such angry words that the matter has come to this?

It is no wonder that the Meilong consortium has developed mediocre in recent years.

Morgan coughed lightly and said:

"The negotiations have just ended, and the opinions of several other consortiums have been unified, and the call for war is very strong, and we have little chance of blocking it. Morgan didn't hesitate to flicker.

Agreed?

How can it be!

Jiang Yuan sneered and shrugged:

"That's your problem. According to our original agreement, if you succeed in stopping the war, I will give you a large cash loan, and we will work together to make a profit on this hunt. If it fails, we can wait for the soldiers to finish their work. ”
