Two Realms: Don’t call me evil!

Black Palace!

The United States Minister of Energy, Moe Mikel, stood like a quail, dejectedly standing in front of President Jesmin.

Also beside him were Defense Secretary Selim Harmon and CAI Director Judith.

This is a relatively private meeting. Mikel is also one of Jesmin's cronies, so he appears here to participate in this beautiful country's high-level secret meeting.

"Your Excellency, President, I'm sorry, I can't stop the popularization of Jieke Group's bio-battery. The advantages of that kind of bio-battery are too great."

Mikel said weakly that he had made efforts before, but technological innovation was just like when cars replaced carriages and mobile phones replaced letters. Even the Blue Star Overlord of Beautiful Country could not stop the innovations brought about by technological progress.

The elimination of fuel vehicles is like a tsunami. As the Minister of Energy of this beautiful country, he is also powerless and can only watch bio-batteries enter every car and enter thousands of households.

Jasmine frowned, knocked on the table, and said in a heavy tone: "How are the results of the imitation? Is there any hope of obtaining this kind of bio-battery technology? Even if the energy density is lower, it is acceptable."

Biobatteries have brought a lot of pressure to him, the president of a beautiful country. There is dissatisfaction from major oil companies internally, and pressure from juniors in multiple oil-producing countries externally.

Of course he knew that this possibility was low, but he still couldn't help but hope that even if they could imitate a weaker bio-battery, they could make up for the losses they suffered from oil, as long as the Jieke Group was not allowed to dominate the market. good.

"It is impossible to imitate. According to the reports of the experimenters below, many materials for this kind of bio-battery cannot be found at all, so imitation is impossible."

Mikel said without hesitation that he had gathered several national laboratories to imitate biobatteries, but the answers he gave were completely impossible to imitate. They did not even have the idea of ​​​​this biobattery technology.

What is regrettable is that Jieke Group has not registered any patents at all. Otherwise, the technical ideas of this kind of bio-battery can be explored from the patents.

Hearing this answer, the disappointment on Jasmine's face was visible to the naked eye, and she could only shift her attention and look at Judith aside.

"Judith, how is the situation in the Middle East?"

"The situation is extremely bad, because international crude oil prices have plummeted, and those countries are now in great conflict."

Judith hesitated for a moment. One of the hegemonies of the beautiful country is the petrodollar. The beautiful country uses various means to control the global oil treasure house in the Middle East and links it to the US dollar, making a lot of money every year.

But the arrival of bio-batteries will have a huge impact on oil.

Although the produced oil can not only be used for automobile fuel, oil is also an important chemical raw material.

But there is no doubt that automobiles are the largest consumer market for petroleum.

Nowadays, new energy vehicles equipped with bio-batteries are selling like hotcakes, and everyone is buying new energy vehicles one after another. Everyone can see that the future will be dominated by new energy vehicles, and the value of oil will seriously decline.

The petrodollar foundation that the United States has always controlled has been fundamentally shaken. To put it more seriously, it is not an exaggeration to say that the country's foundation has been shaken.

"The countries in the Middle East attributed the decline in crude oil to us, and their internal conflicts are moving outward, so they chose the Squid Kingdom as their target. According to the intelligence we have, many Middle Eastern countries are increasingly dissatisfied with the Squid Kingdom, and the war is going on. There is a tendency to expand.”

Judith's face was solemn. Those Middle Eastern countries all relied on oil to get rich. When bio-batteries came out and crude oil fell, they suffered heavy losses.

These countries in the Middle East are too far away from the Jieco Group, and there is nothing they can do about it. Besides, they don't dare to mess with them, so they blame the beautiful country.

They spend so many dollars every year to purchase arms and pay protection fees to the beautiful country. However, the beautiful country has not expressed its position at all. Facing the biological batteries, they are helpless. Naturally, they are very dissatisfied and want to attack Squid Taiguo, the agent of the beautiful country. Take action.

Since you didn't express your stance when you were bullied, we won't pay the protection fee either, so everyone chose Squid Taiguo as their target.

Who doesn’t know that Squid Taiguo is the agent deliberately placed in the Middle East by Meiliguo, and uses Squidward to threaten and beat the countries in the Middle East, so that they have to rely on Meiliguo.

If we can't defeat the Jieco Group, we can't defeat you, Squid Kingdom!

It just so happens that they have a blood feud with the Kingdom of Squid, and the Arabs do not have a good impression of the Kingdom of Squid. It just so happens that the price of crude oil has plummeted, and domestic oil companies related to this have laid off a large number of layoffs, lowered wages, the quality of life of the people has declined, public resentment is boiling, and there are many internal conflicts. , just through external war, internal contradictions are transferred out in the form of external war.

As for the target of this foreign war, for the countries in the Middle East, is there any better target than the erected target of Squid Kingdom?

Jesming was able to become the president, so his mind was naturally very bright. He analyzed the truth of the matter from Judith's words and snorted coldly.

"There are all kinds of cats and dogs in the Middle East. They dare to jump up and bark indiscriminately. They can't recognize their identities. Squid Tai Kingdom cannot be chaotic now. This is our bottom line."

The three people at the scene had already expected it, and Jasmine's answer was not unexpected.

The Squid Kingdom is extremely important to the beautiful country. In addition to geopolitical factors, the existence of the Squid Kingdom is equivalent to a sharp sword for the beautiful country in the Middle East. It can divide the Arab countries in the Middle East and prevent the political integration of the Arab world. control their own petrodollar hegemony.

On the other hand, Squids have deep roots in this beautiful country, and many Squids are famous financial company bosses.

Including the famous Wall Street, the Sino-Pacific forces occupy half of the country. Their influence in the political, cultural, and economic fields of the United States is unfathomable, and it is enough to influence the foreign policy of the United States' political arena to a certain extent.

We are all smart people. The Squid are too powerful in the beautiful country. The capital they control requires the beautiful country government to consider their ideas. Even among the politicians present, there are Squid donors behind the scenes who provide political donation support. Woolen cloth.

"It's the Jieko Group again. They can't stop for a while. They've been causing trouble all day long. Your Excellency, we can't let it go any longer."

Secretary of Defense Harmon slammed the table, his face full of anger.

Harmon is not a militant, but now even he can't stand it. This shows how much the biological battery has affected the beautiful country. Even Harmon, a conservative, wants to end it.

Jesming was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Has the military found a way to deal with the cruise arsenal ship?"

The Jieco Group is now the overlord of Southeast Asia. Under the influence of the Jieco Group, the Southeast Asian countries were integrated to form SAARC, with Su Jie proclaiming himself the head of state.

Although the beautiful country has never publicly recognized Jieko Group and Su Jie, it has to be said that even the beautiful country is afraid of the strength of the Jieko Group.

When the Jieco Group annexed those countries in Southeast Asia, the beautiful country wanted to end it several times, but then they all gave up and retreated because of the Jieco Group's abundant martial ethics.

Among them, the Devourer-class cruiser is the one that makes the beautiful country feel like it is facing a powerful enemy.

This kind of cruise arsenal ship can dive into the deep sea and carry hundreds of missiles. It poses a great threat to the aircraft carrier battle group.

Harmon looked a little embarrassed when he heard Jesming ask this, but he still bit the bullet and said: "According to our sand table deduction, if we can mobilize three aircraft carrier battle groups, our chance of winning in the sea battle can be 70%." ”

"Only 70%!"

Jasmine's expression was not good-looking, and her 70% winning rate was not safe.

Anything can happen in a naval battle, and the aircraft carrier battle group is the cornerstone of a beautiful country's hegemony. If something goes wrong, the impact will be huge.

Even if they win, if they win miserably, even if the beautiful country wins, the hegemony of the beautiful country will be shaken, which is more serious than the shaken oil hegemony.

The beautiful country deters the whole world and orders other countries by relying on strong force. Once the weakness of the beautiful country is seen, it will not be easy to be the world police in the future.

It's like a gang leader. When you are strong, your younger brother will naturally obey your orders. When you are declining, your younger brother will naturally have evil intentions.

Don't talk about being obedient. Don't think about how to pull down the boss and take the position yourself. You can be regarded as a loyal younger brother.

There is never friendship between countries, only interests.

What's more, the beautiful country's domineering and arrogant behavior will definitely not be favored by other countries.

It was only the dominance of Blue Star's force that forced everyone to hold their noses and obey the orders of the Beautiful Country, including younger brothers like South Korea and Sakura Country. Once the Beautiful Country declined and the dog's leash was loosened, they were not allowed to bite back on their masters.

"Your Excellency, the emergence of bio-batteries, they are not willing to share even the slightest benefit. We are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with the Jieko Group. Other countries are also very dissatisfied with it. We can win over more allies.

Even if they do not become our allies, they will not interfere with our military operations. Including the Woolly Bear Country, they are also major exporters of crude oil and have also been severely affected by the influence of bio-batteries. "

Harmon's eyes flashed. The hegemony of petrodollars is too important to the beautiful country. If the beautiful country does not intervene, this hegemony will be lost in the future.

On the contrary, defeating the Jieko Group and letting them spit out the benefits of bio-batteries is the best way to meet their beautiful country's plans.

"Sakura Country and South Korea will obey our orders. The British Empire is making waves in the crude oil market. The large number of overseas oil fields they hold have suffered heavy losses. Germany has a large number of old fuel vehicle companies, and its market share has been squeezed by new energy vehicles with bio-batteries. Maple Leaf Country Here. These countries all hope to become our allies. The pressure from the whole world is on the Jieco Group. We must show our determination to the Jieco Group, even if it means fighting. "

Harmon's tone became more and more high-pitched, and those who didn't know it might have thought he was a hawk.

"Admiral Harmon, you are too radical."

Judith is actually a hawk, but what he advocates is to restrict the Jacko Group from all aspects. Even a hawk like Harmon, who wants to start a bloody war and take risks with the aircraft carrier battle group, feels that The conservative on the other side is too radical.

"Hmph, it's obvious that you are too conservative. If you keep compromising with the Jieko Group, the other party will become more and more arrogant. You will not get any good results by swallowing your anger."

Harmon glared at Judith, the beard on his face fluttering, extremely angry.

Judith refused to give in, shook his head and said: "The Jieko Group is not the small countries we have dealt with before. The opponent is the overlord of Southeast Asia with a strong military. How can we start a war on the spur of the moment? This is not children's play."

Harmon curled his lips and said unhappily when Judien refused to give him face: "That's not because you let it go in the past. If you had suppressed the Jieco Group when it first started to rise, the Jieco Group would have been solved long ago. How could it be what it is now? In the final analysis, it’s because you didn’t do a good job in intelligence work and didn’t pay attention to the growth of this terrible cancer in Southeast Asia.”

Judith is the director of the CIA after all, and he has his own temper. Seeing Harmon mocking him, he immediately mocked and hit back.

"It's ridiculous. Did your military do its job well? Don't think I don't know. We supported Johor, Temasek, Java, Luzon and other countries with a lot of military aid. It was originally to strengthen the local military strength to blockade and counter the Jeko Group. As a result, a lot of military aid disappeared inexplicably. The purchase price of a coffee cup was as high as 1,280 US dollars."

"Enough!"

Jasmin snorted coldly, interrupting the two people who were arguing, and stopped Judith from continuing. Even he, the president, was very taboo about such things, and Judith couldn't cover it.

Judith, who was a little bit overwhelmed, reacted, his back was slightly soaked with cold sweat, and a sense of fear surged in his heart.

Although he was Jasmin's confidant, his impact was too great.

If he, the director of the CIA, really went against the behemoth of the military-industrial complex and investigated the corruption of the US military, he might be shot in the back and commit suicide tomorrow.

Harmon's face was gloomy, and he glared at Judien fiercely, and the scene fell into silence for a while.

"Regarding what you said, Harmon, I agree in principle. Let's try to discuss and cooperate with other countries on joint operations, start military mobilization against the Jeko Group, deploy troops, and make war plans."

Jasmine continued to speak, looking at Harmon, and made some compromises.

"Mr. President, I suggest sending the Reagan aircraft carrier battle group, the Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group, and the Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group, a total of three aircraft carrier battle groups to ensure our maritime combat effectiveness, and also dispatch the naval forces of the Sakura Country and South Korea, as well as."

Harmon was in high spirits and talked slowly.

After Harmon finished speaking, Jasmin knocked on the table and said seriously: "Remember, the army has no orders from me, and must restrain itself. Any behavior that may lead to conflict must be approved by me. For now, we should show our muscles and exert military pressure to make the Jaco Group surrender. If we can solve the problem with the Jaco Group through negotiations, then we should solve it through negotiations. We must not open fire rashly. Do you understand?"

Harmon nodded repeatedly and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Mr. President, our army's military orders are as strong as a mountain. We will never open fire first and will never fire the first shot."

Jasmin felt relieved. He didn't want to have a big war with the Jaco Group when he was in office. If he won, it would be fine. If he lost...

Jasmin shuddered and didn't dare to think about it. (End of this chapter)
