Chapter 646 The First Signs of War

Obama was unwilling to accept that his president had been impeached, and he was still making a last-ditch effort.

In fact, at this point, he only had one path left to take.

That is to start a war.

However, launching a war requires a perfect excuse, and now that Su Tang Group has launched the Stellar phone, it will undoubtedly deal another heavy blow to the American economy.

If the fruit company goes bankrupt, their lives will become even more difficult.

So Obama did nothing else during this time but collected all sorts of information about Su Tang.

There's no need for them to spread rumors anymore, because these things have indeed posed a huge threat to them.

SuTang's Stellar Phone is just one example. SuTang Technology's research in computers, software, artificial intelligence, and other fields has begun to catch up with and is about to surpass Microsoft.

Just like with Apple's iPhone now, it might not be long before Microsoft's position is completely overthrown.

In addition, Su Tang Aerospace has now built a new aircraft. The aircraft used in the promotional video for Hengxing mobile phones is clearly a new model that has never been seen before.

Obama has reason to suspect that this company will eventually replace Boeing.

Another area is shipbuilding. Su Tang's shipyards no longer accept any other orders. They only produce ships for their own company and, in collaboration with the state, build warships at an astonishing pace, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

What is the purpose of building such a massive naval fleet?

It can't be used for fishing, can it? The navy's nature is offense.

They even manufactured a sixth-generation fighter jet, which made the people of the United States even more uneasy.

In addition, there is another unsettling piece of news.

The messages came from Mongolia and Australia respectively.

These two locations are key mining areas for Sutang Mining Company.

Based on the reactions of these two countries, Sutang's mining speed was a bit too fast.

Although they do not yet know the exact amount mined, judging from the Australian ports, the non-stop fleet of ships from Suthang, and the endless trucks from Mongolia, it is clearly exceeding the normal mining speed by a large margin.

Therefore, Obama has reason to believe that Sutang Mining has mastered an advanced mining technology that may be much more efficient than before.

Many of these minerals are rare metals, which are strategic materials. For example, Mongolia's rare earth elements are essential for the production of advanced fighter jets.

The main producers of rare earth elements are China and Mongolia. Once China has extracted all of them, their future situation will be extremely difficult.

In this situation, Obama found a way to keep himself in the presidency.

That is, the threat from the East is too great, and the only way for the United States to maintain its status as a world hegemon is to start a war.

Obama's way of persuading the public is very simple.

The only way to escape the current predicament is through war.

No president hated the East, the Su Tang Group, or Su Mo more than he did.

So in this respect, he is able to do better than others.

This reasoning convinced many people, and now, whoever comes to power, this is probably the only path they can take.

Especially those large families and conglomerates, who are worried that they will not be able to get back the money they invested in Bitcoin once a new president takes office, so they continue to support Obama.

With so much support, Obama temporarily averted the crisis and was able to remain in the presidency.

However, he also had a mission: to prepare for war as quickly as possible.

In response, Obama began campaigning, raising funds, and securing military funding, initiating preliminary preparations for the war.

Wanting to start a war with the East is not a simple matter. Obama and the people of America all know that this war will completely change the world order.

If the United States wins, they will regain all the losses they made before. But if they lose, they will have no choice but to relinquish their position as the world's number one.

The United States has already suffered a severe blow, Bitcoin has been completely destroyed, and the US stock market has seen an increase of more than ten trillion US dollars overnight.

After that, Apple's iPhone suffered a blow, and its US stock market experienced a series of limit-down days.

The national unemployment rate has now skyrocketed, and the economic depression is beginning to emerge. They are no longer as wealthy as before.

Therefore, the preparation time for this war may be longer.

Moreover, there is still a lack of a key breakthrough point. Where exactly the war will break out, whether the two sides will fight directly or it will be a proxy war, remains uncertain.

But one thing is certain: as long as the United States does not want to sink into ruin, war is the only solution.

Su Mo himself never expected that the launch of his Stellar Phone would give Obama a glimmer of hope.

Old Tang still failed to take over smoothly, which forced him to accelerate his plans.

While Old Tang is certainly no saint either, being anti-Eastern, he has 100% goodwill towards Su Mo, which is enough to make him do things that benefit Su Mo at crucial moments.

Su Mo had already inquired with the system and learned that Old Tang's favorability towards him would not translate into favorability towards Dongfang, so it was impossible to get him to directly support Dongfang.

Furthermore, if Old Tang supports Su Mo for some reason, leading to the decline of the Western world, then while the enduring goodwill wouldn't make him betray Su Mo, the inner struggle would be enough to make him resign. Once Old Tang resigns, he will lose his usefulness.

Therefore, how to utilize Old Tang as a pawn is also very important. Su Mo does not want to use this trump card easily, especially before Old Tang becomes president. Su Mo will pretend that this matter never happened.

The problem we face now is that war could break out at any time.

After Obama remained in office, tensions rose in the country.

In order to prepare for a possible war, the country is now actively preparing for war.

Su Mo wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, but his factory had already begun working overtime at breakneck speed, especially those related to military products, where many items were being produced and kept secret.

At this point, Su Mo should have been at his busiest, but in reality, apart from spending time in the lab researching the space-based weapon, the death ray, he didn't have much else to do.

All the companies were on the right track, his team was full of talented people, and he was no longer needed for the daily management and some decision-making of the companies.

With AI monitoring, his company won't experience any embezzlement; he only needs to grasp the general direction.

However, there is one more thing that he needs to worry about, and that is spending money.

His companies are incredibly capable; each one is making a fortune. In the past few months, Su Mo's companies haven't made any major moves, yet they've still earned 500 billion in just three months.

With the launch of the Stellar mobile phone this month, its revenue next month may directly break the trillion mark.

Su Mo had secretly calculated her wealth, and her actual assets were more than what outsiders estimated.

Currently, the total value of all his assets exceeds 30 trillion US dollars.

Among them, the value of Mobi is ten trillion US dollars, and his current cash flow has reached a terrifying five trillion two hundred billion US dollars, which accounts for half of his total.

The rest are major companies, many of which are companies that others haven't thought of, such as those involved in deep space exploration in collaboration with Musk, and Tesla, which he has quietly taken control of.

However, the system still hasn't shown that he has become the world's richest man, so he still needs to work hard.

It's already the end of December, and we're about to enter 2016.

Su Mo had a premonition that war would definitely break out in 2016.

In fact, in his dream memories, there was indeed a very dangerous time in 2016.

That was during the standoff between China and the US in the South China Sea, which almost escalated into war.

And this time, back in the real world, it might still be such a coincidence; perhaps that time period was when the war began.

So Su Mo doesn't have much time left; he only has six months.

Su Mo is not a soldier and will not go directly to the battlefield, but his Su Tang Group can provide great assistance to the country.

He now possesses enough wealth to support a large-scale war of attrition.

Su Mo wandered around the courtyard house in the capital, still thinking about these things.

Once war begins, what should he do in a way that is most beneficial to both himself and his country?

A cold wind blew by, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Su Mo's somewhat confused mind cleared up a little.

It's December 31st now, and tomorrow is New Year's Day. Even in the capital, it's snowing.

Since it wasn't Lunar New Year yet, Su Mo hadn't gone home. During this time, apart from doing experiments at Huaqing University, he spent most of his time in the courtyard house.

Laughter could be heard coming from the entrance to the back garden.

My girlfriends are back from shopping.

It's inconvenient for Su Mo to go out, but it's not a big problem for her girlfriends. The shopping mall belongs to her family, and she has bodyguards with her, so it's relatively safe.

According to Su Mo, when they go shopping, the area should be cleared out, but everyone still likes the feeling of shopping in a large crowd, so they usually don't do that.

"Aunt Zhang, where's Su Mo?"

Tang Mei's voice came through, and the maid in the house immediately replied respectfully, "The boss is in the back garden."

"Okay, let's go check on him."

A series of footsteps sounded, and Tang Mei, Ye Xiaoxiao, and Bai Mengqiao arrived together.

"Honey! What are you doing here all by yourself?"

The most beautiful Ye Xiaoxiao is still as lively as ever. Now, in front of Tang Mei, she will directly call him "husband".

Everyone has come to accept each other's presence, and we spend every day together. Our relationship is now completely different from what it used to be.

Su Mo turned to look at his girlfriends and smiled, "Let's enjoy the scenery and relax."

The girls looked at Su Mo with a sense of pity.

Su Mo is too busy and tired, and they all hope that he can relax a little.
