Chapter 197: That little in Lao Mei's house
Washington, White House, Office of the President.
The then president of the United States pouted and folded his hands in front of him, sat on the presidential throne with his eyes closed, his toes were proud, he had a demonic hairstyle, light yellow hair and neatly combed to hide his baldness.
The most riotous boss sits in a posture, interpreting that he is the only C-position character present, I am the boss, and I can do whatever I want, indicating that this Mr. President has been a social person since he was a child.
However, the unreliable president who scolds the air, he successfully won re-election last year, Meimei (American media) said that he was unreliable, and the American people felt that the media was right, and then turned around and voted for him.
American people: Just One-pick him, don't vote for him is not an American.
Although the elderly president is seventy or eighty years old, he is a good thief in spirit, and he is very high and can toss the world.
At this moment, the two factions in the president's office are "fighting" with each other, and the White House is the same as a vegetable market, but Mr. President's full of astringent and knowledgeable bigwig sitting posture seems to be frowning and suspicious, but in fact it is stable and skinny.
On both sides of the fight, one side is the national interest faction representing the United States, and the other side is the business interest faction representing Wall Street and K Street.
"Mr. President, we must curb the global call for technology calibration of the Shoreline Company, which is a Chinese company, and it is a high-tech company, and the United States must rearrange its forces, and we must insist on locking the main contradiction on that rabbit, because the country may be the biggest competitor of the United States in the future, and it has become an imminent fact that the word possible can be removed now."
After arguing for a long time, the representative of the National Interest faction immediately turned to the president and continued: "We believe that even Russia should not be the main competitor of the United States, this country is already dilapidated and crippled, and its future strength is unlikely to pose a major challenge to the United States in the limited foreseeable future." ”
"But the real problem for the United States is the rise of the eastern country on the other side of the Pacific, which is the crux of the matter, because the other side is the country with the most economic potential in the future, and the United States will resolutely not tolerate the emergence of such a new and practically challenging power in the Asia-Pacific region."
At this time, a senior researcher at a think tank representing business interests also said: "It is true that you are right, but it is a pity that the United States has missed the best time to contain it, and the two wars have knocked out $6 trillion for the United States, not only $6 trillion, but also the best time to contain him." What did we get from the two wars? What political benefits have been gained? No, nothing, the two wars fattened only the arms consortia of those defense contractors and some international financial speculators. ”
"Don't you understand? The revitalization of the domestic economy and the maintenance of foreign hegemony can no longer be achieved at the same time, the United States has no money, look at the domestic infrastructure, since the sixties of the last century has not carried out any large-scale infrastructure construction, the two wars lost 6 trillion US dollars if invested in infrastructure construction, enough to make the United States infrastructure renovation twice. ”
"Now the infrastructure is terrible, what are you talking about about the reshoring of manufacturing? What can a dilapidated factory make? There is nothing wrong with moving to the Asia-Pacific region and containing this adversary, but the United States has no money, no money, no money, no money, you know? Without money, you can't do anything! ”
As he spoke, the senior researcher looked at the president and said: "The sequelae and impact of the two wars on the United States must pay a price, first of all, you have to have money to do other things, consolidating the country is the first priority of the United States at the moment, what is our current situation?" The slogan is getting louder and louder, the stick in the hand is getting thinner and thinner, consolidating the national capital and revitalizing the manufacturing industry is the most important policy of the United States, but now we have no ability to digest it alone, and we must share it with the Chinese people. ”
At this time, the representative of the American national interest group or the foreign affairs interest group said coldly: "Even if the United States has been miserable to contain this opponent now, you still want to further strengthen his strength?" It's an enemy! It's treason!! ”
"No, it's a tug-of-war." The senior researcher said succinctly, and continued: "In the confrontation and wrestling, the United States has changed from the initial overwhelming advantage to an equal position, and it is better to be a little superior, this is the price paid for the strategy that failed at the beginning, and the premise of wanting to go to the day after tomorrow is that you have to find a way to get through tomorrow before you have the day after tomorrow." ”
The word tug-of-war is mentioned.
The president watched the two of them talk about each other, and he knew very well in his heart that the two of them were not fighting each other on behalf of their respective interests.
In this case, in fact, even as president, he cannot make independent decisions to a large extent, and the reason why he does not say a word is to see the final tug-of-war results of the two major think tanks and the two major interest groups.
It can be seen that the diplomatic interests want to contain, while the business interests come to the opposite conclusion.
In fact, the elderly president has already distanced himself from the diplomatic interests in his heart, and has instead moved closer to the business interests, the side he once had been frantically opposed.
The president, who was a businessman and had a trading career, had already seen the essence of it.
Trading, trading, trading, real interests are the foundation of everything, don't be vain.
It is worth mentioning that there is another key factor that made this president start to reject the group of foreign interests, that is, when the president makes decisions within Washington, he is actually constrained by many factors.
In fact, the constraints on the president's decision-making are clearly pointed out by the fact that there is a diplomatic group and a business interest group in Washington, a group of think tanks on Wall Street and K Street, who set many standards of behavior for the president.
This means that the national decision-making of the United States is not a decision-making under the completely closed leadership of the government, but in a sense, it is mainly outsourced to think tanks or K Street, and think tanks are affected by money, which in turn is influenced by customers and customers.
Perhaps, this can explain why Yi Selie and the United States imperialism are extremely hardcore, because the superstructure of the United States is a large number of Jewish interest groups, they organize lobby groups to run to the president all day long to blow the wind in their ears, once or twice is nothing, three times, five times, eight times N times are annoying to anyone, and even the president does not dare to completely ignore these Jewish titanium lobby groups.
And where are the Jews in America? Wall Street, K Street, of course, and of course New York.
On K Street, the United States has more than 1,800 large and small think tanks, as well as some in New York, and the United States can be said to be the country with the most think tank institutions in the world.
The people of the think tank have to satisfy the customers when they take the money, otherwise there will be no customers, and they will starve to death, which shows that in a kind of decision-making process, including the market for the privatization of power and the public power of the US imperialists, is extremely huge, otherwise how can such a think tank be fed?
And who are the people from these think tanks? For example, an executive of a large enterprise in the United States may become the head of a department in the United States the next day, and when his term of office expires, he may be transferred to a think tank as a senior researcher, or return to the business world, which forms a big circle, like a revolving door.
In other words, in Lao Mei's family, the political, academic, and business circles are interconnected, and this circle is actually the same group of people, both in the business world, in the political circles, and in the think tank at the same time, and they have experience in all aspects.
If the president completely offends them, they engage in capital operation, create a serious gap between the rich and the poor in society, and increase the unemployment rate, the American people will only throw the pot on the authorities, and then they will vote for him? After that, there will be a question mark over whether he can be re-elected.
So in many cases, the president of the United States has reached a lot of compromises with these people.
However, there are exceptions to everything, such as the current president at the time who is so arrogant and full of astringency, because he has been re-elected, he is naturally free of himself, so he is stable to death.
