American TV series

Sean did not stay in Sarawak for long. After a phone call instructing all parties to keep things confidential and not to take any action for the time being, he quietly arrived at Hong Kong Island and boarded a special plane from Hong Kong Island back to the United States.

Before returning to the United States, Sean called Neil and quietly gave some instructions.

Neil immediately started preparations after returning. A few days later, a cargo ship set off from the Mediterranean and headed towards Southeast Asia.

…

After flying back to New York, Sean did not go to work immediately. He made money to enjoy life.

Returning to Deer Island to spend time with the women and children, the only problem is that I am a bit wasted.

After resting for a few days, Sean set off again and headed straight to Washington.

Instead of going to the White House, Sean crossed over directly with Lao Bu and went home.

After eating a simple meal at the Bush family, Old Boo took Sean to the study room, with Little Boo beside him.

After chatting for a while, they talked about Sean's recent movements. The two of them expressed their disbelief that Sean suddenly went to the UK to acquire a football club with great fanfare.

Sports in the United States are very developed. The four major ball sports have almost divided up all sports fans, and there is no soil for football to survive.

"It's just an entry point to develop business in Europe. Just like the President of the United States entertains NBA champions at the White House every year, I need an image that is close to ordinary people in Europe, and football monopolizes most sports fans in Europe."

Sean explained casually.

The Bushes smiled lightly: Is it true? I don’t believe it!

"Really, why are you buying a TV station in Northern Ireland?" Xiao Bu sneered, "I think you just have bad intentions and always want to incite the secession of Northern Ireland."

"Chips, chips, what happened to the media people, how can we call it malicious." Sean said seriously, and then he said 'ratings,' coverage, 'command content,' and other words that were difficult to understand, and the room was filled with

There was a cheerful air.

"Speaking of this division, Uncle Bush, what do you think of the petrodollar policy?" Sean suddenly changed the subject.

Lao Bu has the face of an old man using his cell phone on the subway. What does the split have to do with the petrodollar?

Wind, horse and cow are irrelevant!

"Ahem." Sean coughed slightly and thought this was a bit strange, so he said directly: "Europe has been building alliances to break down economic barriers and must not respond to the pressure from the United States and emerging Asia in a holistic way.

, the European exchange rate mechanism is just the beginning, we all know that they are laying the foundation for a common European currency."

"As soon as the Euro is born, they will be the first to target the US dollar. Uncle, do you agree with this generation?"

Old Bu's face straightened, his brows furrowed, he thought for a moment and then nodded.

The global currency market is so big. If the euro wants to make a difference, it must look to the U.S. dollar, which currently occupies the largest share of the world's currency reserves.

Of course, the pound is also indispensable, otherwise the UK would not be so desperate to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

"So, what's the best way to cut meat from US dollars?" Sean didn't wait for Bob to answer this time. Well, it was mainly because he couldn't answer...

“The best way is to start with the oil settlement currency!”

Old Bu sat upright suddenly and stared directly at Sean. The petrodollar is the national policy of the United States. Whoever dares to destroy the petrodollar is the enemy of the United States and will never stop fighting!

…

"What news did you receive?" Old Bu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, I received some information, and I also verified it!" Sean nodded, "It's very simple, Europe itself does not produce oil, and Europe is a large consumer of oil. Well, Europe lacks everything, just

Take Germany as an example. Before World War I, they wanted to build a railway from the Middle East, across Asia Minor and the Balkans to Europe."

"During World War II, they even thought about building an oil transportation pipeline. Even after so many years after the end of World War II, they never gave up on this matter."

Sean looked at Lao Bu and said, "Right."

Old Bu nodded, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "You mean, now European countries are planning to

The idea of ​​building an oil pipeline?”

"Isn't this a matter of course? If you, Uncle Bush, were talking about Europe, would you want to build such a pipeline?" Sean asked.

Old Bu tried to put himself in his shoes, and couldn't help but nodded, "If it were me, I would also build a pipeline. Simply transporting it by sea is very costly, and it needs to go from the Persian Gulf to the Strait of Hormuz to Arabia.

Sea to the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb to the Red Sea to the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean to the Strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic Ocean to Western Europe…”

After speaking in one breath, Lao Bu let out a long breath, "Oh my God, it's too far, too far. If any strait is strangled, Europe will fall into an energy crisis."

"So..." Sean spread his hands, "If such an oil transportation pipeline is built, it will not only ensure energy supply, but also strengthen economic exchanges between the Middle East, the Balkans and Europe. By the way, it is not a matter of course that the settlement currency will be changed to euros.

Yes!"

In fact, no matter what, the oil and natural gas transportation pipelines from the Middle East to Europe are the most convenient, far more convenient than transportation from Lao Maozi.

Europe has indeed been trying to build, but...

"No, no, no!" Lao Bu waved his hand violently, "This is absolutely not possible. It cannot destroy the settlement of US dollars in the oil field. Do they want to start a war?"

"They definitely don't mind launching a war when necessary, what do you think, Uncle Bush." ​​Sean smiled, "Especially when the Soviet Union has shown its decline."

Not only has the war been launched, but it will start in the not too distant future, yes, 2 years later, well, maybe less than 2 years later, after all, it is already June.

Tsk tsk!

When Sean said this, Old Bu's eyes fell on the map on the wall involuntarily.

He looked back and forth between Europe and the Middle East several times, and finally landed on the Balkan Peninsula, murmuring: "Soviet Union, Soviet Union, Soviet Union..."

Xiaobu frowned, looked at his brooding father, and then at Sean, who had a determined look on his face. His forehead was blurry. Why didn't he understand what this had to do with the Soviet Union?

He reached out and poked Sean, and Xiao Bu raised his eyebrows.

Sean whispered: "The Soviet Union is the banner of socialism, but now the Soviet Union..."

As he said that, Sean shook his head, "The fall of the Soviet Union means that the flag has fallen and the foundation has fallen. Can the socialist countries in Eastern Europe still hold on?"

…

"Yugoslavia, which used to be a barrier that separated the Middle East and Europe, will surely fall into weakness. At this time, due to the opposition in the political system, both Europe and the United States will start to dismember them, making the red on the map less and less."

"For Europe, this is an opportunity. Once Yugoslavia is finished, no matter whether it is divided into several countries, it will eventually be influenced by Europe and join the big European family. This is a geographical necessity."

"By then, there will be no geographical barrier between the Middle East and Europe, and there will be basic conditions for building oil pipelines."

"Yes!" Lao Bu frowned, "From a political perspective, we must not allow Yugoslavia to continue to exist, but from an economic perspective, we cannot allow Europe to escape control."

"What are your plans this time?" Lao Bu looked at Sean.

"My plan is to separate the horses first!" Sean stood up, walked to the map, and slapped Sarawak.

Lao Bu:???

Bush:???

Isn’t this such a jumpy thing? Does it have anything to do with what I just said?

"Of course it does!" Sean saw the confusion between the two and said with a smile: "Uncle Bush, it is obvious that the events in the Balkans are impossible to control. We have not completed the layout in advance, so why not start from the place where we can control it?

Let’s make arrangements first.”

"There are three main oil-producing regions in the world: the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia."

"Of course the best developed region is the Middle East. We all know this. South America is very close to us and is naturally under our control. There is nothing to worry about. But what about Southeast Asia?

"

"Yes, most of the oil in Southeast Asia is based on offshore oil fields, but its reserves are extremely rich, especially in this area." As he spoke, Sean drew a line along the coast of Sarawak. "Wen Mu was the first to be developed.

, and has been developed for decades.”

"And the United States' influence in Southeast Asia is really too small without a protective umbrella."

“Who has the most influence here?”

"It's England, it's Holland, it's Spain, it's France, it's Germany!"

"I have three reasons. We must separate Sarawak." Sean raised three fingers. "First, what I said about the control of oil resources, even those that have not yet been developed, can only be achieved by bringing them under control."

Ensure control of oil production, price and settlement currency, and our opponent is the United Kingdom and Europe."

The two agreed with this reason.

Sean didn't mention the north. The north still exports oil. Who would have thought that it would become a major oil consumer in a few decades.

"Second, the economy. From a global economic perspective, Asia is an emerging market and the fastest growing market. Its huge population base, low labor costs, abundant resources, convenient maritime transportation and other factors are all factors that

It is destined to be a wonderful land."

"If you look at the rich list, you will find that the wealth of the rich in Southeast Asia has grown rapidly recently, and they are quickly occupying the Forbes list. In the United States, the economy is in a sluggish state, and Uncle Bush must be feeling it very deeply."

When Sean said this, Old Bu sighed helplessly. He was indeed not good at economic issues.

…

"From the data, we found that the indigenous families in Southeast Asia are very fond of sending their children to study in the UK or Europe. I think you two know very well how influential studying abroad is."

Take World War II as an example: In the Second Historical Archives of Beijing, there is a copy of the "Alumni List of the Alumni Association of Chinese Students in Japan" compiled and printed in June 1941. This ordinary classmate list has a total of 693 people. He De

How could it be that it was all done by men and women!

When Sean mentioned this, Lao Bu frowned immediately. Historically, the United States also liked to invite people from some countries to study in the United States, and the treatment they gave them was particularly good.

Not only is it completely free, but there are also high subsidies. After completing the course, you will be a die-hard American supporter when you return home.

Of course, I also learned this from the Europeans, well, to be more precise, I learned it from the British Empire.

In terms of bringing traditional performing arts from the British Empire, PUA is really awesome!

"Let me tell you, these Southeast Asian rich people, especially these indigenous rich people, are already rich!" Sean suddenly said with a smile: "Unlike those black ghosts in Africa, international students in Southeast Asia are particularly afraid that people will look down on them, the indigenous people.

That’s a fucking generous expense.”

"We need emerging markets in Southeast Asia, we need to expand our influence here, we need them to accept American ideas, we need them to buy American products, and we need them to come to the United States for consumption. From an economic point of view, we need to take action."

Western logic is different from Eastern logic.

In the eyes of the Chinese, if you need so much, you should make friends with you, express friendly relations, and then do it little by little.

From a Western perspective…

What should I do if he doesn’t want to buy my product?

beat him!

What should I do if he doesn't want to accept my ideas?

Beat him hard!

What should I do if he doesn’t want to come to my place to spend money?

Beat him, beat him, or fucking beat him!

Of course, this theory of power has indeed been verified by history...

Whether it is the colonial period or modern society, notebooks and sticks are ready-made examples.

Therefore, Sean's statement is completely logical when it comes to the two people, or when speaking to Congress in the future.

Therefore, there are so many reasons to split Malaya, occupy oil producing areas, lay a solid foundation for petrodollars, occupy emerging markets, and boost the tourism and education industries. Then the reasons for taking action against Southeast Asians are sufficient!

After hearing this, Lao Bu was already 80% convinced, but he still

I want to hear the third reason.

"Third." Sean raised three fingers and suddenly showed a meaningful smile, "The new Sarawak lacks talents, technology, funds, and international support. As a country dedicated to helping the development of backward areas, there are

Ideal, moral, cultural, and caring people, Sean and Mr. Xiaobu are willing to represent the world's largest country and help the people of Sarawak pursue a better, happier, and freer life."

Old Boo smiled helplessly and shook his head. Little Boo didn't need to control it. He laughed loudly and reached out to pat Sean on the shoulder. "Ideal, moral, cultured, and caring are the words used to call you.

There are some problems, but I will make up for your shortcomings, so it’s not bad.”

…

"Xiao Bu, I think you will become a president like Uncle Bush one day, because you are shameless enough." Sean glanced sideways at Xiao Bu.

"Hey, are you saying that my father is shameless?" Xiao Bu coughed lightly and said pretending to be angry.

"Look." Sean spread his hands, "Every reason for success is different. Uncle Bush defeated his opponents because he treated people with sincerity and relied on his rich governance experience brought by many years of deep work in government departments. But you want to provoke me

Your relationship with Uncle Bush is just gossiping, which shows how shameless you are!"

"Fake!" Xiaobu raised his middle finger. He really couldn't say it with such talk.

It would be a pity not to go into politics!

"What are your plans?" Xiao Bu gently poked Sean with his arm.

Before Sean could answer, Old Bu stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, you two brothers, let's talk. It's getting late, I'm going to rest. I'm not as healthy as you, the young man you love."

"Okay, Uncle Bush is joking. With your body, it's not easy to turn 100!" Sean smiled and complimented.

Old Bu smiled and opened the door and walked out. When it came time to discuss interests, it was not convenient for him to appear here.

It's too rude and inconsistent with his status as President of the United States.

If the previous two reasons convinced 80% of Lao Bu, then the third reason convinced the rest.

92%!

This is one hundred percent.

This is not to say that the dignified President of the United States has short-sightedness. If you were a Rockefeller or a Morgan family, you would have to pay attention to interests and motives when doing things!

This matter is beneficial to the United States, can consolidate its global hegemony, consolidate the status of the US dollar, stimulate the US economy, and is also beneficial to the Bush family, so why not?

This advantage is not only financial, but also deeply tied to the next generation head of the most entrenched family in the United States, which plays a key role in the transition of the Bush family from a political family to a capital family.

Lao Bu couldn't find any reason to object.

Politics is the power of gathering people. This power does not really belong to you. It can make a family prosper for a while, but it cannot last forever. You can make Rockefeller bow his head when you are in office, but how long will this last?

4 years?

8 years?

And after that?

Under the capitalist system, only the power of capital itself is the most fundamental.

Sooner or later, political families will transform into capitalist families. No matter how prosperous Clinton was when he was on stage, it will be the same after he is off stage.

Everyone just started on a different path, but the final destination is the same, which is to become a shareholder in the United States and make the family prosperous.

The old man knows this, the young man knows it, and Sean, who has been in the American system for so many years, knows it even more.

An iron-clad family and a troubled president!

If you compare these presidents in the United States, you will find that after leaving office, the halo of the original president remains with other presidents, and the only exception is Jianguo.

The abundant capital allows him to still cope with difficulties when faced with difficulties.

After Old Boo went out, Sean chatted with Little Boo about how to provide "love" help in the process of establishing Sarawak.

"There is no other industry with the most lucrative prospects, oil."

Sean slapped the table, "Of course, this doesn't mean that we can't get involved in other industries. It's a country, Xiaobu, and there aren't too many industries that we can get involved in. If we just pass it by casually, we can get hundreds of millions of Lilan."

"

"Of course, I don't like most of them and you don't like them either."

"No, I like it!" Xiao Bu grabbed Sean's arm.

"No, you don't like it!"

"No, I like it!
