54. New changes
Sean pushed open the door to the conference room, and General Ross, who had taken off his military uniform and changed into a formal suit, had waited for a long time, he had landed an hour earlier from Dulles International Airport, not far from the Pentagon, and then rushed to the S.H.I.E.L.D. triflex wing building on the Potomac River.
"It's surprising that Captain Rogers actually signed the registration bill."
The general was surprised, considering that Steve Rogers was a complete diehard, that there had been a heated debate within S.H.I.E.L.D. about whether Captain America should be imprisoned, that the White House was inclined to persuade him, and that there were different opinions in the Department of Defense.
After all, this is a war hero of the last century, who has made great sacrifices for the country, and rough law enforcement will inevitably cause some unnecessary criticism.
It's a pity that Captain America insisted on his position and was unmoved, so that the politicians with small calculations returned home, disappointed, and finally reluctantly gave up the idea of winning over the other party.
"Sometimes it is more effective to put the cruel truth in front of the good people than to talk sweetly and torture."
Sean shrugged and Captain America chose to back down, which is a good thing. Otherwise, with the appeal of the other party in superheroes, it will more or less cause some chaos.
"The General is in a hurry, presumably not just for Captain Rogers."
The young man sat on the sofa, and although General Ross tried to maintain his demeanor as much as possible, there was still a hint of anxiety in his expression.
"I am a new energy source for the collaboration between Ambrera and Stark Industries. You've started a revolution and you're trying to create a new pattern, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. ”
General Ross shook his head, he sighed, and began to explain the recent situation to Sean.
In the energy sector, due to Stark Industries, Ambrera, and the old giant Koch Industries Group, the troika drove in parallel, and under the strong alliance, they seized the market with lightning speed and quickly stabilized the situation.
However, with the continuous expansion of new energy sources, it has brought a great impact to the industry, especially Stark Industries has invested heavily in promotional activities, trying to complete the work process that would have taken decades in just half a year, leaving no buffer room for others, and this radical strategy has naturally caused a huge economic earthquake.
"Tony Stark is like a rampaging elephant, no one can stop him, and that bastard doesn't care about stepping on anything!"
General Ross was furious, he had always had a bad opinion of Stark, he had been, and still is.
Due to the wanton advance of Stark Industries, not only the manufacturing industry peers are trembling under its footsteps, the energy industry is also extremely nervous, in such a severe situation, the valuation of the traditional energy industry has plummeted, like an avalanche, in addition to Koch Industries has already laid out, completed the transformation ahead of schedule, and old consortia such as Roxon Petroleum have felt the cold snap in the summer.
At the same time, this change has triggered a series of chain reactions, like toppling a domino, the rapid development of the new energy industry has forced the oil kidnapping of the White House policy to change, the international hot spots continue to cool, the military action that could have been richly rewarded is now meaningless, and the economic structure and foreign policy established by the United States since the war are facing a crisis of collapse.
In the past two decades, the United States has launched more than 20 overseas military operations, starting with the Gulf War in 1991, which was caused by conflicts between Iraq and Kuwait over oil, and then moved on to Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, and so on.
War allows arms dealers to get orders from the Ministry of Defense, military personnel to get more opportunities for promotion, and oil tycoons to appreciate their stocks rapidly, diverting conflicts at home......
Before that, oil was the most important strategic resource in the twentieth century.
In the words of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger: "Oil is irrevocably changing the world." ”
Since Colonel Drake drilled the first oil well in Pennsylvania in the United States in 1859, human beings have been inseparable from oil and its products. It is a resource that the great powers compete for, and it is also the power energy source of modern weapons.
For the United States, oil is the most important energy and basic chemical resources of the modern economy, and it is also an important lifeblood for the establishment of an economic system dominated by the US dollar. The reason why this superpower launched the war in Afghanistan, the war overseas, the war in Iraq, and provoked the war between Arabia and Israel is to divide the Middle East and establish the OPEC organization.
This forced OPEC to accept the condition that "global oil transactions must be settled in dollars" and consolidate its hegemony.
Therefore, the "petrodollar system" is an alternative continuation after the collapse of the "Blake Woods system", which helps to ensure the core position of the dollar in the international national currency system.
However, Stark Industries' rampage is about to end this "oil era" and open a new pattern of the world. In the midst of this revolution, countless people were destined to suffer, those who opportunists lost all their money, and those in power and the big men also suffered from it.
The most obvious example is that at the same time as Stark Industries and Ambrera, as well as Koch Industries, announced their cooperation, the international crude oil market fell all the way, almost close to freezing, directly touching the changes in the interests of countries around the world, and countless "conspiracy theories" followed.
Many believe that this is a joint plot by the United States and Saudi Arabia against Russia to impose a new wave of economic sanctions.
In this regard, there are different opinions, rumors are spreading, the international market is changing every moment, and no one can guess the future trend.
There are many similar chain reactions, the international situation is turbulent, and the White House is not having a good time, if it is replaced by another company, it will have been forced to stop production because of public outrage, and the helmsman will even face jail time.
However, the Stark family itself is a member of the ruling group, as a new star, the rising Ambrera, the power behind it is even stronger, even Koch Industries should not be underestimated, the combination of the three, even the old chaebol with heavy losses gritted his teeth with hatred, he had to endure it temporarily.
However, the contradiction will one day escalate into a full-scale conflict, and when the time comes, they will be greeted with a thunderous blow!
"So, as the one strapped to the Stark Industrial Chariot, should I be on the same side as Tony, or should I abandon ship early?"
Sean's face was as usual, and he didn't seem to be worried about the huge crisis brought about by new energy at all.
"I think you've got a solution."
The general saw that Sean was still as stable as Mount Tai, and his nervousness gradually calmed down, and the other party was always able to give others strong confidence.
As Betty used to say, this young man is like an invincible general, who can surprise and create miracles every time.
"How's the Bronski doing?" Sean diverted the topic and turned to the recent big move of the Ministry of Defense, "Those bureaucrats have finally agreed with you, and it is gratifying to form a strong army for foreign warfare, General." ”
"This is thanks to those aliens, Mr. President is our strong backing, super soldiers and mutants, respectively, reorganized into two armies, for frontal combat and local attack."
The general was quite complacent, and if this army was to shine in the future, he would definitely mention his name.
"Emir never hesitates to carry out his missions, obeys orders, he is our most powerful warrior, a super soldier in the truest sense of the word, and the Hulk beast does not deserve to be compared to him."
General Ross has long since let go of his obsession with the Hulk, and now he even shows a very disdainful and disparaging attitude.
"The World Security Council is in initial contact with Asgard, and it is very likely that the whole world will face a high-level war, and you and I know that."
Sean got up and paced, a hint of obscurity in his eyes, "Why don't you come to a warm-up game first, and solve the contradictions caused by new energy by the way." ”
"With whom?" General Ross was slightly stunned.
"A hidden third world country."
Sean flicked the globe on the table, his fingers resting on distant Africa. (https:)
