Chapter 914 The Storm Is Coming

Chapter 884 The Storm Is Coming
"Jimmy, what's the situation in California? What's the situation in Oregon? Do our people know?" After hanging up the phone, Morgan asked Jimmy. At this moment, he felt very heavy-hearted, shocked by John's intense killing intent. Morgan already knew that John had made arrangements, but he did not expect things to be so serious, to have reached this point!

“We know a bit about California; there are indeed some guys eyeing John. But we know limited about Oregon, since that’s John’s territory. We haven’t stationed any people there; we’ve only heard rumors from other sources, but they’re just general information. We don’t know anything important.”

"It seems this matter is going to get out of control. I wonder how those guys will handle it. You've heard it too, the White House people are involved. John has started to suspect Old Bush and no longer trusts the old man. That's the most troublesome problem. If the old man gets involved, the consequences will be severe. He himself might not be in any trouble, but the Bush family will pay a heavy price. John is not someone to be trifled with."

"Boss, does John really have that much influence among the Russians? And did those guys really do something so crazy, daring to mess with this technology? Don't they know how serious the consequences would be?"

"How could they not know? It's just that, as John said, they think we can't do without their power, which is why they're so reckless. We've warned them many times before, but these guys didn't take it to heart. This time is different. They will definitely face John's fierce counterattack. John is already furious about the Paramount incident, but he didn't retaliate because of the overall situation in the United States. But this time, he won't tolerate it anymore. Those guys will have to pay a heavy price. As for how much influence John has in Russia, it's hard to say, but he can get enough weapons from Russia. As long as the Middle Eastern tycoons are willing to put up real money, John can get everything they want."

"No way, is it really that crazy? Er Mao really dares to sell everything?" Jimmy was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't expect Er Mao to be so crazy. After all, after the old man split up the family, Er Mao had quite a few good things in his possession.

"It's true. Can you imagine that John got their Helson shipyard from the two Americans? Can you believe that Gulfstream Aerospace got a lot of weapons from the two Americans, including the White Swan? Two of them were dismantled by their engineers in the two Americans, and the largest one, the An-225, also fell into their hands. Don't you think anything of all this?"

"Mushroom bombs, John has such power in his hands, has he gone mad?" Jimmy immediately thought of this terrifying question. It was indeed too crazy, but it was also the most reasonable thing. After all, John's business with the Russians had been going on for several years, and the Russians had received a lot of such treasures, many of which had disappeared.

"He's not crazy, but he has that ability. Most importantly, during the chaotic period in Russia, such things really did happen. I can tell you definitively that John, that little fox, took far too many good things from Er Mao. This was an outcome that no one expected. Nobody thought Er Mao would be so crazy!"

“It’s unbelievable. It seems those guys have really messed up this time. If John gets angry, their pressure will skyrocket. Middle Eastern tycoons have no shortage of money!” As he said this, a hint of fear flashed across Jimmy’s face.

"Yes, the Middle Eastern tycoons have no shortage of money. If it weren't for the interests of the United States, John's deals with the Middle Eastern tycoons would be even more outrageous. He might even sell strategic weapons like the White Swan to them. Even if it's just one or two, the impact on the Middle East would be enormous. So if those guys don't compromise this time and don't give John a satisfactory explanation, they will suffer boundless wrath and face suppression from the Middle Eastern tycoons!"

"Boss, don't those guys know about all this? And why didn't the military stop it? How could the White House cause such a mess? Has the old man really gone mad?" Jimmy was utterly shocked by all of this. These were things he dared not even imagine, yet they were all possible.

"I don't know. I'm not sure what Old Bush is thinking either. As for the military, they are willing to stop it, but their relationship with John isn't very close. After all, with the push from those oil-rich capitalists, Gulfstream Aerospace hasn't gotten much benefit from the military. If John didn't have a good relationship with the Navy, what kind of extreme actions do you think John would take under these circumstances? Cutting off someone's livelihood is a deadly feud. Anything can happen in an election year, so nobody knows what's really going on behind the scenes. We'll only understand after everything is over." "Boss, shouldn't we talk to Old Bush beforehand and hear his explanation? This could get out of control, and the consequences could be serious." Jimmy looked at his boss expectantly, secretly fearing that John might launch a crazy counterattack.

“No, John is only reminding us because he trusts us. If we tell Old Bush all this, do you think we can still maintain this friendly relationship? Even if something serious happens, it's the White House's problem, and Old Bush will have to bear the consequences himself. It has nothing to do with us. I don't believe that Old Bush doesn't know about the actions of the oil capital, but he did nothing. That's the biggest problem, do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Jimmy nodded in sudden realization, understanding the reason for John's anger. That bastard, Old Bush, had known about those guys' actions but failed to inform John. So, regardless of whether he participated or not, his relationship with John had been strained. Moreover, if he couldn't give a satisfactory explanation afterward, the Bush family might be affected and subjected to John's relentless suppression.

Seeing Jimmy's enlightened expression, Morgan nodded and said, "It seems you understand. It's not that John is crazy, but that those guys went too far. Perhaps Old Bush did this because he harbored resentment; after all, being abandoned is a terrible feeling. But even so, he shouldn't have done such a thing. It not only affects him, but also the Bush family. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. No one will help a family without integrity. If they can even betray their benefactor, who do you think will still trust them?"

Morgan was also very uneasy about the current situation. He would rather not know John's plan, so that he would not have to bear such pressure. But now that he knew, and could not stop it, Morgan was under great pressure. Jimmy's situation was not much better.

“Jimmy, have our men keep an eye on California. I need to know what’s going on there, especially Silicon Valley. I need to know who dares to do this. If they dare to mess with Nvidia and Dreamworld, they’ll have to face the wrath of Morgan. This is a matter of Morgan’s interests. If those guys really make a move, they’ll have to give us an explanation!”

Upon hearing his boss's words, Jimmy couldn't help but sigh. If he could, he really wouldn't want to take on this mission, but now he had no choice but to accept it. He had to make arrangements for such an important matter himself, since he was his boss's confidant and had to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
"Alright, don't worry so much. Things won't be beyond your control, and you don't need to worry too much. John is a sensible person and won't go too far. We're not under much pressure!"

Unfortunately, Morgan's words were not credible at all; even he himself didn't believe them, so how could Jimmy believe them? But Jimmy couldn't refute them, because even the most foolish person wouldn't slap their boss in the face.

While Morgan was discussing countermeasures, John muttered to himself after hanging up the phone, "Morgan, I hope you won't disappoint me or do anything to make things difficult for me. This time, I don't want anyone to ruin my plans, and I don't want anyone to stand against me, especially you, my 'ally'!"

John is taking the current situation in the United States and Oregon very seriously. All the information he receives daily is handed over to him, and he is even informed of important matters at any time. After all, if a counterattack is launched, things will get out of control. Those guys want to take advantage of the turmoil to target John, but they don't know that John has the same idea. He also wants to take this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to these guys, cut off their claws, and give them a profound lesson!

"Every man for himself!" Although John informed Morgan, there were many things he wouldn't tell him. However, Morgan should understand; after all, Morgan's power was not to be underestimated. Even if he didn't know John's full plan, he understood how frantic John's preparations were and how dangerous the situation was. Morgan wouldn't risk offending his ally John for the sake of outsiders unrelated to him—such foolishness wouldn't happen to him! At this moment, anyone who dared to plot against John was Morgan's enemy, and Morgan wouldn't change that. After all, John held enormous interests, and Morgan couldn't betray his ally!
