Xiyun replied "Understood" in a delicate voice, and then walked outside, but Lin Fei suddenly stopped her behind her, and Xiyun turned around, "What else does Your Majesty have to order?" ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Where do you want to go tonight?" ”

Xiyun was a little embarrassed, glanced at Peter Sherlock, did not answer, his face was slightly red, Lin Fei smiled: "Shall I accompany you to go shopping?" ”

Xiyun saw Lin Fei "show affection" in front of Peter Sherlock, and felt even more shy, so he agreed and hurriedly ran away, Lin Fei smiled behind his back: "Tie up Xian'er this time, and don't allow her to stay at home anymore." ”

Lin Fei's relaxed attitude made Peter Sherlock very annoyed, but Peter Sherlock had nothing to do, and said that he had something to do, so he left first, returned to the embassy, and saw a large group of people gathered at the door from a distance.

Peter Sherlock scolded in his heart, you damn guys, won't you go to the Huaxia Empire to put pressure? Peter Sherlock casually called the attendants and said angrily: "Let these people find Lin Fei to put pressure." ”

"Mr. Ambassador, they have already looked for Lin Fei, but Lin Fei's people are quite tough, and directly told them that the cause of this incident is that the federal government unreasonably detains international students and asks them to find you for pressure, Lin Fei's toughness You know, these people from commercial companies can't move Lin Fei at all."

Peter Sherlock sighed heavily and returned to his residence, but he didn't expect that there were also many people gathered outside the residence, and the hot-tempered president of Standard Oil simply got a reclining chair, a parasol, and a small table, and lay down outside Peter Sherlock's residence, drinking tea while reading the newspaper, so frightened that Peter Sherlock didn't even dare to go back to his residence, and ran to hide in the embassy's staff dormitory for a day and a night.

Peter Sherlock was frowning in the staff dormitory, not thinking about tea and dinner, and then his subordinates persuaded: "Mr. Ambassador, don't worry, tomorrow our American companies will stop working one after another, and at that time, many people will definitely go to Lin Fei to put pressure, and Lin Fei will definitely not be able to bear it at that time." ”

Peter Sherlock nodded slightly, "I hope so." ”

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and American companies stopped construction, but the torrent of protests expected by Peter Sherlock did not appear at the gate of Lin Fei's palace, and Lin Fei still looked relaxed, it is said that Lin Fei also attended the celebration ceremony of the first anniversary of the establishment of Huaxia Film Company, at which Lin Fei gave a speech, encouraging filmmakers to create more and better films.

China and the United States then entered the strategic stalemate stage of the trade war, and ten days have passed, neither side has made any big moves, the United States began to feel unbearable, because China's gasoline first arrived in the western United States, so the western gasoline reserves are more than the east, and the eastern cities, Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago, etc., have broken out of oil shortages.

Affected by the oil shortage, various gas stations have a shortage of gasoline, at this time the United States automobile industry is rising rapidly, many people have bought cars, gas stations have no gas, waiting for refueling cars suddenly lined up outside the gas station.

The U.S. media have reported on the shortage of gasoline, and the photos of car owners who are angry because they can't refuel, and the photos of gas station employees with innocent faces, have made many families put away the money to buy cars.

No one buys a car, the car company immediately can't bear it, a large number of cars are backlogged in the warehouse, many companies can't even pay salaries, at this time in the United States, many companies' salaries are settled on a weekly or daily basis, which means that the company's capital turnover chain must be extremely smooth, if the turnover chain is slightly broken, the weekly salary and daily salary can not be opened, unlike the Chinese Empire, the salary is paid monthly, and the company has a relatively ample buffer time.

The company could not pay salaries, but only laid off employees, and the laid-off employees immediately marched in the streets, and several riots broke out in the process, criminals used the parade to smash shops, loot goods, and Detroit, the city with the most developed automobile industry, declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew twice in ten days.

The turmoil in the automobile industry soon spread to the financial industry, the development of the U.S. stock market in this era is extremely rapid, many citizens have put their money into the stock market, the turmoil in the automobile industry has directly affected the investment confidence of the public, the public have sold stocks, the stock market has fallen again and again.

In this era, the phenomenon of manipulation and insider trading in the US stock market is extremely serious, and the financial giants have taken advantage of the turmoil in the automobile industry to engage in shady means to embezzle large sums of people's wealth, further deepening the public's distrust of the stock market, and more and more people are selling stocks, and the stock price has plummeted.

In retaliation, the US government refused to accept the latest batch of Chinese students, and this group of 3,000 students could only stay in the port and endure the vicious reprimands and cold eyes of US government officials.

Ten days later, Lin Fei saw that the United States was still not giving in, so he summoned Peter Sherlock and announced that he would reduce the export volume by another 50 percent on the basis of reducing gasoline exports to the United States by 20 percent.

Peter Sherlock almost went crazy, a 50 percent reduction in one fell swoop, and it is estimated that two-thirds of gas stations in the eastern United States will close, and about 20 percent of gas stations in the western United States will be closed, and the shock to the automobile industry and the financial industry will be even greater.

The U.S. government still held on and refused to return the Chinese students, and the automobile industry began to shake dramatically, with thousands of employees laid off, several car sales companies filed for bankruptcy protection, and no one bought cars.

The United States also made a counterattack, that is, to reduce the number of railroad laying equipment, railway locomotive equipment, and power equipment exported to China by 30 percent, but Lin Fei did not care, these things are gone, the big deal is that the construction of railways and power plants has slowed down for a period of time, and these things are also being actively developed in China, and Lin Fei's ultimate goal in industrial development is to be self-sufficient in everything and buy nothing.

On November 20, in New York, a white man who had been laid off by the company, carrying two Colt revolvers and more than 100 bullets, broke into Wall Street during rush hour, opened fire on pedestrians, and after the police arrived, they engaged in a shootout with the police, and were shot dead three hours later.

The shooting killed 12 people and wounded 15 others, all of whom were Wall Street financial workers, including a senior manager at Citibank.

In the course of the firefight, the New York Police Department instead of punishing the white policeman who shot and killed a black girl because he felt that she was too close to them and posed a threat to them.

The move then provoked huge black protests, with waves of protests sweeping Boston, New York, Washington, and other major cities.

At the same time that the domestic situation in the United States has taken a sharp turn for the worse, the opposition Democratic Party has launched a fierce attack on the ruling Republican Party, and the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have the same attitude on the detention of international students, but when the Democratic Party saw that the situation has evolved like this, they immediately abandoned their original position and stabbed the Republican Party in the back.

On November 23, the Democrats vs. Republican President William? McKinlai filed a no-confidence motion, formally against William? McGinn to initiate impeachment.

With the domestic situation in the United States tightened, Lin Fei once again released a rumor that if the US government did not agree to return the students before December 10, then the Chinese Empire would completely stop exporting gasoline to the United States.

On 26 November, the US Government had no choice but to notify Peter Sherlock and formally note Lin Fei agreeing to return the Chinese students.

Peter Sherlock came to Lin Fei with the frustration of the loser and affirmed the attitude of the US government, but Lin Fei's face was not happy, but even more angry.

Peter Sherlock asked in surprise: "Mr. Lin Fei, we have agreed to return the international students, why are you still angry, what do you still want?" ”

Lin Fei said coldly: "You agreed to release this group of international students in the United States, so what about the next batch of international students, what about the next batch, do you agree to release them?" What if one day you detain our international students again on a whim? ”

Peter Sherlock asked helplessly, "What do you say I should do?" ”

"I want to sign an agreement with you, the United States, which states that the United States of America guarantees that every Chinese student must return to China."

Peter Sherlock sighed lightly, "I thought it was some condition, it turned out to be this, okay, we promise." ”

Lin Fei then signed a relevant agreement with Peter Sherlock, and the first batch of international students finally left for China, and Lin Fei announced the cancellation of the gasoline export reduction to the United States.

Lin Fei's first trade war ended with a complete victory for the Chinese Empire, which had a profound impact on countries around the world, and the most profound impact was naturally the United States, which was pinned down by the Chinese Empire on gasoline and decided to make great efforts to develop its own gasoline industry.

In this battle, black Americans held huge demonstrations, whites became more disgusted with blacks, racial contradictions in the United States were further deepened, slavery rhetoric was in the dust for a while, and the US government was pressured by the white elite to adopt a more severe policy of racial segregation.
