Chapter 133: Looking at East Asia

How Roman accepted the torment of conscience where, the Duke did not know at all, anyway, his check could only be cashed after the other party sent his wife, and he was not afraid that the other party would take the money and do nothing.

For Conrad, having money and hiring a female star to play is just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about at all, so you don't need to care too much.

With his identity, if he really let out the news and wanted to take care of him, it is estimated that the woman who recommended himself as a pillow would be able to collapse the entire Weiting Manor.

What he's doing now is helping Stryker's hapless kid do it.

After a series of initial victories, the American GIs had slowly entered the stage of tug-of-war, and the treacherous environment in Vietnam, especially its border of thousands of kilometers from north to south, made it delusional to want to directly pacify North Vietnam in one go.

Therefore, the dispatch of the second batch of combat troops against Vietnam has naturally become a sure thing.

This time, Stryker was instructed by the military to lead the newly formed rapid reaction force to Vietnam to test the results of the battle.

The so-called rapid reaction force is the mutants recruited by the U.S. government from all over the country during this time, and because of Magneto, it is rare for Congress to not have a ruffle and directly issue the "Mutant Management Act".

According to that bill, as long as mutants are registered in the United States, they are required to accept the supervision of the government and serve the government when necessary.

Of course, correspondingly, these mutants can also receive a part of the state allowance, and if they join the government-directed army, they can also get quite a generous remuneration.

Because Magneto killed all sides, the current government's attitude towards mutants is quite harmonious, unless it is really found that the mutant has anti-social and anti-human tendencies, otherwise it will definitely not be casually discriminated against and hunted.

After all, it's not like anyone to make another Magneto, are they?

So it can be seen that if you want to gain the respect of others, the most important thing is to be strong in your own strength, although Magneto's approach is not the best way, but it can be regarded as helping mutants establish their prestige to a certain extent.

And like in the original book, Charles's bastard went around helping humans suppress the resistance among mutants, making mutants a complete experimental material, which was the biggest blow to the entire mutant community.

It's okay to abuse anyway, there's a guy named Professor X who will come and wipe his ass, so what's there to worry about?

Originally, with Stryker's rank of lieutenant, he was not qualified to lead the rapid reaction force, although those guys were a little fancy, but they were all combat mutants, and everyone's strength was quite extraordinary, and there was even an old acquaintance like Wolverine.

No way, that guy Logan likes to fight too much, basically he will participate in every war, and after so many battles, he has already been registered in the Ministry of Defense, so this time the rapid reaction force, of course, he has no choice, and he was directly joined!

Originally, this position was supposed to be held by Rose, but I heard that his wife had recently become pregnant, and the newly married Major Rose did not want to leave the United States, so he gave up the position to Stryker.

For this reason, Stryker's military rank was also quickly promoted to major.

I have to say that the abilities of the two major military families are jaw-dropping, but because Ross doesn't want to go out recently, Stryker directly jumped two levels and changed from a lieutenant to a colonel.

"Stryker, I'm looking forward to your performance this time when I went to the front line." Rose patted Stryker on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Stryker gave a military salute to Rose and shouted excitedly.

Although both of them are now in the same rank as major, Stryker has always regarded Ross as his old leader, because without Rose, it would be almost wishful thinking for him and a civilian to climb to his current position.

"Okay, don't take it so seriously, there's nothing important on the Vietnamese side, if it weren't for the Congress's unwillingness to expand the scale, I guess we should have finished the fight long ago!" Pierce walked over with a wine glass and said to a stern-faced Stryker.

In the minds of most Americans, Vietnam is not an opponent of a magnitude at all, and although it has now temporarily entered a positional tug-of-war, it will not have any impact at all.

The biggest difference should be whether to win in three months or six months!

"Is there a branch of ours near Vietnam?" Compared with other people's ease, Conrad knew that the Vietnam War was the stupidest action of the United States in 40 years, and it changed three presidents and fought for more than ten years, and for this reason, many anti-war waves broke out in the United States.

Therefore, he felt that he should lay out the layout first and prepare a production line near Vietnam.

It doesn't matter whether it is the production of high-tech products such as mobile phones or the production of some of the most basic military facilities, it is all huge profits!

"Over there in Vietnam, we don't have any business for the time being?" Natasha looked up strangely and reported to Conrad.

At present, the main business of the bank is concentrated on the east coast of the United States, and even the central part of the United States is not involved.

Because the current United States is indeed the world's largest economy, relying on the East Coast business alone is enough for Conrad Hoho!

Besides, each place has its own unique network of relationships, and at present, the business of Wanka Bank has reached a bottleneck, and it is really difficult to reach a higher level!

After all, there is only so much space in the cracks, if you want to develop, you have to grab someone else's share!

"Is there no business in Japan at the moment?" The Duke thought for a moment and asked.

He has been nesting in New York for the past few years, and he has basically not been out much, although it is because he needs to develop his strength and stabilize his territory in the past few years, but it is really a little depressing to stay in one place for a long time.

"Although Japan's economy is recovering well, it is still too far behind the United States, and there is no room for development at all!" Natasha thought for a moment and reported.

Japan has just come out of the shadow of the war, because there is no so-called Korean War in this time and space, so Japan has not received the huge military orders from the United States, so there is no so-called economic recovery period, and it is still in ruins.

Although it is said that the impact of the war has been slowly worn out in the past 20 years, as an island country without any natural resources, everyone is not optimistic about Japan's future development.

At the very least, none of the big chaebols have made big investments in Japan.
