How was the United States founded? On the surface, this seems to be a simple historical question, but the cowboy president and Norman Osborne, who have been in the political arena for so long, immediately understood the message behind the question.

The normal answer, of course, is that under the leadership of several founding fathers, the American people finally drove out the British colonists after hard struggle, and won the great victory of free cooking.

But in reality? A little more understanding of history will actually find that it is not the same thing at all, and the reason why the United States was able to become independent was largely because it was the era when the struggle between Britain and France was at its most intense, when the British had just won the Seven Years' War with France and initially established a global hegemonic system, but it was also because of the war that the vitality had not yet recovered.

At that time, the French also thought that because they had just lost to the British in the Seven Years' War, they had the idea that I should not think about it if I didn't get it, and then stumbled the British all over the world, so that Britain could not afford to support military operations in North America.

In other words, the United States was able to become independent because of the weakness of the British themselves and the stabbing of the French in the back, not because of how strong the Americans were...... With the tens of thousands of people in the US "Continental Army" at that time, what did they want to win against the British? No kidding.

If the War of Independence is a few decades later, when the British recover and the hegemonic system of the empire on which the sun never sets, will you try it independently?

What does this mean? It shows that in many cases, if you want to succeed, what you need is not how strong you are, but as long as you make your enemies powerless to interfere with you.

What Chris meant by this question is to explain to President Cowboy that we, the Interstellar Trade Alliance, already have the idea of breaking away from the control of the regimes of the Earth countries and establishing a new political system, and even take action.

When the cowboy president heard this, he was furious in his heart, after all, he was still sitting in the position of the president of the United States at this time, and he naturally thought about the problem at the level of the American state...... And this kind of thinking of the Interstellar Trade Alliance, in his opinion, is no different from dividing the United States.

But just when he wanted to angrily refute Chris, seeing that Chris was still calm and smiling at himself, he suddenly calmed down...... Refute? What to refute? Chris and that interstellar trade alliance are going to be independent from Earth?

Don't be funny, did Chris just say something? The other party said nothing except that he regretted his imminent departure from office and asked about the origins of the founding of the United States, and the rest was his own interpretation.

And now that they are at the Osborne house, not in the White House, there will be no record of the conversation between them, there is no real evidence, even if he is the president, and he publicizes it afterwards, I am afraid that not many people will believe it.

More importantly, does he have the opportunity to speak out? The cowboy president swallowed his saliva as he looked at Chris's young face, as a president, he naturally knows more about many things than ordinary people, so he knows very well what terrifying power this young man who seems to be very sunny to the outside world actually holds in private...... In particular, he understood very well that the Osborne clique had never represented the interests of the Osborne family alone, but also the interests of the vast majority of the old big bourgeoisie in the United States.

Why was the rise of the Osborne Group so rarely hindered by business? Isn't it because the Osborne Group is able to make money for them? Up to now, nearly half of the annual profits of the Osborne Group are actually to be distributed to the shareholders of the group who represent the various old consortia, and the benefits of this, to a large extent, have exceeded the core industries of these old consortia.

In fact, the interests of these old consortia have long been tied to the Osborne Group, and even the Cowboy President himself can get a lot of benefits from the Osborne family every year, as for those who don't want to go all the way with the Osborne Group, they are basically dead, such as what was very powerful in the late 20th century, as early as the beginning of the 21st century, it was killed by Chris.

And this is also the carrot and stick policy that Chris has been pursuing...... Although Chris has a powerful force that can completely crush the earth, many times, force is really just a strategy.

You use a gun to force people to work for you, how can you wave money to attract people to work for you voluntarily and diligently?

So after calming down and thinking about it carefully, President Cowboy understood that this matter is not only a problem of the Osborne Group, but also the promotion of these old consortia, not to mention the participation of the entire trade alliance, in addition to the Osborne Group, and the super consortia of several emerging powers.

Even after figuring it out, the cowboy president found that he was not so angry, and even began to be moved......

Don't look at the fact that this kind of thing is out of the control of the governments of the original earth, it sounds a bit shocking and deviant, but if it is really as Chris said, then the operability of this matter is actually very large.

Once the Star Trade Alliance has completed the homeland project...... No, it doesn't even need to be completed, even if it's just the completion of the first lunar energy program, and this interstellar trade alliance has the ability to completely break free from the control of the Earth nations...... Because the completion of this plan basically means that the Interstellar Trade Alliance has the ability to reside on the moon and mine and refine resources.

As for other biological resources, the Interstellar Trade Alliance can also prepare in advance, or through other allies...... Just like the newly founded United States, although it is hostile to Britain as the world hegemon, it does not mean that it will be hostile to the whole of Europe.

And President Cowboy is very suspicious that this so-called interstellar trade alliance has the support of Overwatch...... This conclusion is not surprising, who is the leader of Overwatch? Sheffield, this thing has a criminal record, before the other party attacked the White House, he almost died...... For this incident, the cowboy president estimates that it is impossible to forget it in his life...... So now that Sheffield wants to support another force to come out and fight the earth, the cowboy president will not doubt the truth of this matter at all, and now there are forces on the earth that can fight against Overwatch? The cowboy president felt that as long as the Autumn Wind Pier was in the hands of Overwatch, it seemed to be completely non-existent.

And once the Interstellar Trade Alliance is ready, will the Earth countries have the ability to interfere? Obviously not, although most of the countries on the earth actually have the ability to land on the moon, but this ability to land on the moon is still limited to sending one or two people to the moon for investigation, and it is still very reluctant to do other things.

As long as the Interstellar Trade Alliance has a little bit of armed power, it is enough to make the countries of the earth return in vain...... Besides, the Interstellar Trade Alliance is only a little armed? The main six member companies, Quante has a strong armament manufacturing capacity, well, once they get the resources on the moon, it is possible that a steady army of robots will drown the earth.

So when the time comes, it will be the countries of the earth that will have to see the face of the Interstellar Trade Alliance...... Unless they want to be trapped on Earth forever.

Mr. President figured it out, and Norman Osborne figured it out, so they all began to ease up.

"So Chris, what role can I play in this?" After the cowboy president figured it out, he tentatively asked Chris...... Well, this is a statement and an exchange of interests, and if I join, what do I get? As for not joining? After understanding the current situation, President Cowboy decisively gave up this option.

Because what he represents is actually the interests of the old capital consortium, as long as it is also in his personal and family interests, why should he refuse?

What the? As the head of a country, shouldn't you be the most patriotic? Don't be funny.

Like many countries, the United States also attaches great importance to patriotic propaganda and education, even far more than some old countries, because they have a short history, in fact, they understand the importance of patriotism, which is also an important reason why a young country like the United States can grow into the world's largest country.

However, as a member of the top level of this country, Chris knows very well that this kind of patriotic education is actually to fool ordinary people, because for ordinary people, the more stable and powerful the country is, their lives will naturally become more and more congested.

However, for the big capitalists who really control the country, the interests of the family and themselves are the most eternal theme, and the state power is only a tool for them to protect their own interests.

This is especially true for a country like the United States, which is extremely young and does not have a clear subject nation...... In a country that is only 300 years old, no one has a long family history, and you want people to love you?

When the country can meet their interests, they will naturally love the country, and when the country can no longer meet their interests, they will not hesitate to change it.

And in the United States, the family of the cowboy president is such a family...... Their family is not a simple business and political family, in fact, this family is from the British royal family...... Of course, it is not the current Windsor Dynasty, but the Plantagenet Dynasty in the 12th century, although more than 20 generations apart, its inheritance and English aristocratic family are undoubted...... So if he really wants to talk about patriotism, shouldn't he love Britain?

Forehead...... Well, a lot of Americans do love Britain.

So as long as the interests are sufficient, then even the president is not immune to "betrayal".

And the cowboy president is an ambitious man, which can be seen from the various policies after he took office.

Would such a person be willing to serve only two terms as president? Especially according to the American tradition, after the expiration of the general presidential term, basically he will not continue to engage in politics, after all, he has been president, and it is impossible to be a subordinate to others.

And the cowboy president is only sixty now, which is still very young for a politician, and he will only be sixty-two in two years.

For such a person, if he is given a chance to take power again, how likely is it that the other party will refuse?

Of course, there was a very, very important reason why he absolutely did not want to be Lincoln or Kennedy, and Roosevelt was about the same.

"Quite simply, you always need a leader for everything, and instead of a bunch of laymen arguing over it, it's better to leave it to a professional, right? Just like Washington, our founding father," Chris, knowing that the other side had compromised, chuckled...... He said bluntly, we are ready for everything, but we only need one who can lead and serve the people, the founding head, this benefit is enough, right?

"Why not Norman, but me?" Well, this cake was thrown out, and the cowboy president couldn't resist it, even if it was poisonous, he wanted to take a bite, and when he didn't see Norman Osborne on the side, he still asked.

"Quite simply, why was the first president of the United States Washington, not Adams?" Chris also glanced at Norman Osborne, who looked a little confused, but had not spoken, explained.

Hearing Chris's answer, the cowboy president suddenly realized, and Norman Osborne's originally tangled face was also relieved.

Yes, the Founding Heads sound great and great, but in fact they are also the most risky...... Once there is an accident, then this person must bear the brunt of it.

Just like Washington back then, was he able to become the leader of American independence because of how high his prestige was?

In fact, it was not, and even Washington was never a pioneer in advocating independence, in the early years, Washington was actually a fanatical British royal party, always eager to join the British regular army, and actively participated in various colonial wars launched by the British, and the average colonist at that time was not at all interested in this.

It's just that after several years of fighting for the British army, he didn't get the ...... he wanted. Although he became an officer, he was only a militia officer in the colonies, not the British regular army he longed for.

But even so, he still has a good impression of the British...... Later, when he began to enter politics, conflicts broke out between the American colonies and the British authorities, and he advocated only autonomy under British leadership, rather than complete independence.

It was only after all his hopes for the British authorities were dashed that he became an anti-British.

Before the Revolutionary War, he was elected as the leader of the "Continental Army", partly because he had a certain amount of experience in leading troops among many delegates, and partly because compared with other capitalists who had already formed a family system, Washington was a lonely man and was most suitable to take the blame.

Because the founding fathers of the United States at that time knew very well that the North American Revolutionary War was actually a big gamble, and if they won the bet, then they were the pioneers of an era.

If the bet is lost, then if it's just a participant, it's not much of a problem, but if it's a leader...... That would be absolutely certain death.

It's just that they won the bet at that time, so Washington became the father of the nation.

It's the same now, although Chris is planning the independence of the Star Alliance, he doesn't want his family to be the target of public criticism...... It's better to hand over this kind of limelight to someone like the cowboy president, and it's good to hide behind your back and make a fortune...... It was not the establishment of some imperial dynasty, but a new bourgeois regime similar to that of the United States.
