"Cooperation? I think these guys are just crazy! ”

After kicking over the round table tea table, Roland even ripped off the bow tie around his neck.

As he unbuttoned his shirt, he gasped with anger on his face.

His head twisted slightly, his eyes were unfocused, but the raging flames that overflowed around him interpreted the indignation in his heart very clearly.

"George wants to get the Donkey Party to back down? George wants to continue to slap the donkey party while they give in? It's impossible for anyone to accept it! This kind of behavior of giving profit and giving face! How did they come up with it? Yes! ”

It seemed that the roar was not enough, when the red-faced Roland saw the small round stool placed next to the coffee table, he immediately flew up, and with his movements, the dull sound suddenly rose, and the primary-colored wooden stool suddenly crossed a beautiful parabola in the air, and then crashed into the TV in the living room of the suite, clang, smashing countless cracks.

In such a situation, it was naturally taken into the eyes of Kate, who was following aside.

Although she really wanted to stop her husband's uncool behavior, but considering everything that had just happened, she chose to remain silent when she understood that Roland needed to vent, until Roland ripped off her coat and sat the sofa, with her eyes closed and her hands covering her face without moving, she came to the other party's side, sat down, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently pressed her husband's neck, hoping to help him relieve the pressure on his body in this way.

And when she looked at her husband's cheek and thought about how to speak, Roland, who felt the familiar action, took the first step, and the words of the urn came out from between her hands, "Don't be afraid, I don't have a tendency to domestic violence." ”

“？”

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed on Kate's face, and after she reacted, the corners of Ben's smooth mouth also hooked upward, "Domestic violence? Are you kidding? Even if I stand here and let you fight, you have to have the courage to do it! ”

The slightly contemptuous voice made Roland sigh, and while putting away the cover, his body also fell down, and he lay on the sofa very naturally, and his head was accurately pillowed on his wife's thigh.

Looking at the guy who was looking down at the same time, when the four eyes met, Roland, who had thought that his head was incomparably big, suddenly smelled a trace of relief.

Because he finally doesn't have to hide in his study and face everything alone, as before.

"Thank you." Roland, who grabbed his wife's right hand, said softly.

"Huh?" Kate, who didn't want to be entangled in such trivial matters, raised her eyebrows and said: "Actually, I don't think George's idea is actually much of a problem, because it is not impossible for donkey elephants to cooperate, in the past history, they have joined forces on many issues, and now, if the root of the problem is oil and dollars, then I think the donkey party will compromise, for the sake of the whole country's position in the world......"

Although Roland was angry at what Henry Rumfeld said about the donkey-elephant cooperation, Kate knew that even if she brought it up again, Roland, who had already vented her anger, would not rekindle her anger.

Because at this point in time, Roland has to find a way to solve or bypass this problem.

So, she was relieved to speak.

And with her questioning, Roland, who was pillowing his wife's thigh, also looked helpless, staring at the familiar face, slowly escaping from nature, and was cleared by him, "Kate, you are wrong to think so, they will not join forces." ”

"Why?" Kate felt that there was something wrong with her husband's thoughts, "Is it because of face?" Oh my! Politicians never need such a thing as face, as for the donkey-elephant dispute? That's just two sides of the same coin.

The struggle between the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party is not aimed at killing each other at all, because their ultimate appeal is the same, for the better development of the United States, but because of the relationship between positions and means, they look like enemies. ”

Such words made Roland hide his face and laugh, because Kate's undoubted position is indeed the mainstream view, or rather, the unanimous view of people since the birth of the two parties, but with the development of the times, this set of rhetoric has become outdated.

"Do you think the existence of the two parties is for the better development of the United States?" Roland asked.

"What if it weren't?" Kate's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was puzzled: "Although I didn't go to school completely, politics can't be refined through school, and the disputes between the two parties are just a manifestation of democracy. ”

“Okay……”

Seeing that his wife had the intention of helping him share his worries and solve problems, Roland, who was pillowing the other party's thighs, was not so unkind, and he wanted to find someone to talk about the bitterness in his heart, he raised his hands and pressed them out of thin air, signaling his wife to listen to himself, "There is actually no problem with your statement, or rather, the existence of the two parties is indeed for the better development of the United States."

But......

In what year was the U.S. electoral system created?

Two hundred years ago!

When Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States two times in a row, he never thought that after his death, this group of guys would be able to fight like this! It is even less likely that after his death, the elites will be divided, and those who want to establish a strong central government will become federalists, and those who emphasize the rights of the states and the sovereignty of the states will become anti-Federalists!

What year did Washington die?

Year 1799.

And in 1800, after his death, the Democratic-Republican Party was founded!

However, even if it is divided, it doesn't really matter.

Because at the time, only white males could vote.

However, when Lincoln emancipated the slaves, the situation changed dramatically, and when in 1920, then Secretary of State, Bainbridge Colby, signed the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote, the Suffrage Act of 1965 was rewritten, and apartheid was officially abolished, the donkey-elephant dispute became a complete conflict of interests!

Why?

Because when voting rights can only be owned by white men, whether it is planting, oil, railroads, or military industry, the purpose of people is the same, that is, to plunder more wealth!

And when women began to have rights, their first goal was to seek more benefits for themselves, and where did the benefits come from? Isn't it from the hands of white men?

In this case, repealing all kinds of laws that are more harsh for them and getting more resources becomes what they want to do and what they have to do, and once someone can guarantee them that they can get a greater good for them, that guarantor can get more votes and become president.

What is this behavior called?

Isn't it infighting?

Should this infighting be there? Is the emancipation of women a sign of progress? I don't have the right to judge any of these things!

But I know that the U.S. electoral system has changed its flavor by this time!

And with the lifting of apartheid, the originally limited cake has to be shared by more people!

Black people say we want to improve our lives!

Then their needs will have great friction with traditional industries!

Black people say we have to improve their treatment!

Then their demand will be in great opposition to all capital!

In this case, the guys who need a lot of votes will naturally envelop them for their own interests, but this kind of entrapment is bound to have confrontation with the guys affected by it! And is this confrontation for the better development of the United States?

No!

I'm just here for my place!

Donkey Party guys now don't understand that to maintain the international status of oil is to maintain the status of the United States?

They know!

But they can't do that!

Because they need to fight for their own status! ”

When Roland explained to Kate that the American electoral system had long since run counter to the ideas of its founders, countless past memories also popped up in his mind.

Is it the king who understands the king with his back against the red neck and the drowsiness who co-opts the minorities to fight to the death?

No!

It is the king who understands and lets the sea be done in vain! Watching the sea and letting the small bushes dry in vain!

During the reign of Little Bush, two wars were waged, energy extraction was promoted, and oil and the dollar were restored.

But with the rise of Guanhai, the green energy plan directly puts oil in an awkward position.

Isn't it clear that the imposition of the Clean Energy Security Act will have a huge impact on the stability of oil and cause the US dollar, the settlement currency of global trade, to fluctuate dramatically in the exchange rate?

Of course people do!

Since the father of missiles can understand in 92 that the development of clean energy can help a country get out of the energy dilemma and not be choked by other energy countries, then Guanhai can understand even more that the development of new energy will have a lot of impact on itself!

But......

I can't help it!

That's all they can do for their ass.

And what about after the founding of the country?

The first thing to do is to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, ban the clean energy plan, let the sea that hinders oil development roll into the garbage can, and continue to push black gold with the support of energy giants!

He not only made the United States the world's largest oil producer, but also made the United States the world's largest oil exporter.

But unfortunately, this kind of reality is about to become nothing.

It has always been said that there is no real difference between the two parties, but ......

How can there be no difference?

The contradiction between men and women, the contradiction between whites and blacks, the contradiction between capital and commoners, these are all differences!

And as long as there is a difference, there will be a trade of interests, and as long as there is a trade of interests, there will be a real struggle between the two parties! Because what is at stake is not the interests of others, but their own ass!

"So, it's impossible for them to work together."

Roland, who came back to his senses, found himself in a daze for too long, but Kate didn't mean to disturb his thoughts, so after laughing a little, he continued: "Unless, a new enemy appears in front of them.

It is only when the external living environment is seriously threatened that they have a certain possibility to throw their votes behind.

But by that time, let alone democratic elections, even the electoral system no longer exists. ”

When Roland said it freely, Kate, who was sitting there listening, immediately laughed.

seems to think that her husband's thoughts are really very strange, but I feel that these views are indeed correct.

After thinking about it, when she couldn't find a substantive loophole, she asked, "So you mean that the U.S. election system and voting crowd have made it impossible for the two parties to cooperate again?" ”

“Yeah！” Roland nodded affirmatively, "Human nature is greedy.

When they find that their future must be built on sacrificing the lives of some people, they will definitely hold on to the other part of the population that will not be sacrificed, and then stand in the righteousness of the better life of this part of the people, and sacrifice the other part of the people.

Because only in this way can the contradictions caused by grabbing profits be transferred.

In fact, in the 28th law, 2 percent of the world's people control 80 percent of the wealth, which is fooling.

Because when capital is rampant, the ultimate goal is to let 2 percent of the world's people control 12 percent of the wealth, and the remaining 98 percent have to be saddled with 20 percent of the debt. ”

"Then you're going for the one hundred and two percent?" Kate finally understood her husband's thoughts.

It was precisely because she understood Roland's thoughts that her lips with lipstick were even more attractive.

Let 2 percent of the people grab 12 percent of the wealth?

Isn't this a return to slavery?

When the concept of exquisite life takes root and sprouts, the advanced consumption brought by consumerism can make people become slaves of capital.

Although consumerism has indeed improved life for the masses, this overdraft has allowed capital to continue to grow!

And when this concept of living in the present and consuming tomorrow becomes popular, only the ruler can stand at the top of the system and overlook all living beings, so that power becomes the most attractive thing.

Cooperate?

It is even less likely to exist.

"So what now? Don't you even want to talk to them? ”

After thinking about this stubble, Kate also rubbed her husband's face.

Since her husband was only angry because he was put on a position, not dizzy, then she was relieved.

But at the same time, she also felt that if her husband did not cooperate, then the current situation is estimated to become more complicated, "Henry has already told you, this matter is very difficult for others, but it is still very simple for you, because the donkey party has made public its own litigation lawyer, as long as we start from this aspect, it may be able to improve the success rate of persuasion?"

Coupled with the previous lines of interest, they may be more likely to be willing to accept your mediation? ”

The wife's cautious words made Roland roll his eyes.

Yes, after telling Roland what he wanted, Henry Rumfeld also gave a plan of action that they had already envisioned, and the reason why they found Roland and asked Roland to act as this thankless intermediary was not that Roland was really capable, but that Roland was full of connections......

Like the lawyer who undertakes the Donkey Party's litigation business, it is Carter Phillips.

He is one of the top appellate lawyers in the United States.

He has set a record of 75 Supreme Court lawsuits, more than the 5th to 10th largest law firms in the United States, and when he appeared in court, victory was already assured.

Of course, Roland, the guy who can drive the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Supreme Court, certainly doesn't know him.

But Bill Gates knows him very well.

Because the anti-monopoly split case proposed by the Ministry of Commerce against Microsoft was undertaken by Carter Phillips.

Small bushes they can't affect him, but Microsoft, can.

In addition to this, Ronald Perelman's political contribution to Zipperton, and the economic model made by David Shaw, the king of quantitative analysis, are also the hot things of the little bush they see.

In the case that they can't invite these people, Roland, who wears a pair of pants with these guys, becomes an insider.

Although Roland is really very resistant to this kind of bad thing, he ......

Now he is indeed the only one who is suitable to be this middleman.

Because it's going to be an informal conversation, it's going to involve some transactions that will never be made public.

"Hey......" Roland sighed.

To be honest, he really didn't bother to touch these things.

But when the trouble was already on his body, he could only hold on to one hand.

"It's tiring to trade power for money." Roland complained.

"But the profits are very lucrative." Kate smiled and pinched her husband's face.

"Besides, after that, "House of Cards" will be filmed."

"Come on." Roland pouted, "If this thing really happens, then it is absolutely impossible for me to ask for something like "House of Cards", compared to the shale oil they get, this reward is really too little." ”

"And what do you want?" As soon as her husband said this, Kate was also interested, "You don't want oil too, do you?" ”

"What do I want this for? I don't do that. Roland shook his head.

"Do you have a goal?" Kate wants to hear her husband's thoughts.

However, in the face of his inquiry, Roland blew his nose, "Target? Does this require a goal?

When power is held again, everything you look at in front of you can become a target. ”
