America: My Time

Chapter 929 John's Warning

Chapter 899 John's Warning
"Damn bastards, how dare they treat us like this!" Seeing the behavior of the American conglomerate bosses, those guys from the Soviet Union were all furious. Unfortunately, no matter how angry they were, it was useless. They couldn't change anything, and no one cared about their feelings. For the conglomerates, their interests didn't matter. All they cared about was their own interests. That was reality. They weren't that important.

“Good, with your words, I have nothing to worry about. We cannot abandon all manufacturing. If we continue to allow manufacturing to flow out, the consequences will be unimaginable. If military enterprises are weakened, how can we support a war in the future!” John was very clear about the future situation of the United States. If he did not control military enterprises, he would not say anything. Now that he controls the second largest military enterprise in the United States, he naturally has to be prepared.

"Well said. Our military industry is the core strength of the United States and cannot be weakened too much. At the very least, it must have the ability to generate its own revenue. We will do our best to promote all of this. Even if the military wants to give up its support for our military industry, we must still have the autonomy to export and not be subject to interference or influence from other forces!"

It has to be said that these guys are shameless. When they see the benefits, they all stand on John's side without considering the White House's thoughts or the old man's opinion. In their eyes, the old man has to accept it whether he likes it or not. If the old man dares to refuse, it might affect their plans. They will let the old man know what the wrath of the conglomerate is, even if the old man has someone behind him!
"So everyone agrees with my proposal, then this matter is settled. For your sake, I will not hold it against you any longer. Please leave, you are not welcome here! I hope you will remember this lesson. If there is a next time, it will be a fight to the death. No amount of pleading will work, and don't try to threaten me with your ridiculous reasons. I never accept threats from anyone!"

John then ignored the guys. He had done what he was supposed to do and received what he was supposed to receive. There was no need to argue with them anymore. He believed that after this, these guys would not dare to have any ideas about him. As for what they might be plotting, that was not something John could decide.

John wasn't lying when he said that as long as these guys dared to touch his interests or become his enemies, the weapons belonging to the Er Mao family would become the property of Middle Eastern tycoons. John didn't care about their thoughts or feelings.

Being kicked out of the house is incredibly humiliating, but these guys from Oil Capital have no choice but to accept it. They don't have the strength to continue fighting John now; they can't afford the serious consequences. After all, the entire American financial community is ostracizing them. If they weren't still somewhat useful, these guys would probably side with John and carry out a bloodbath against them. That's their current predicament.

“John, you don’t need to do that. It would be better to give them some face. After all, we still need their power in the Middle East to keep the Middle Eastern tycoons in check. These guys are unreliable, and the Middle Eastern tycoons are just as unreliable!”

Upon hearing Old Bush's words, John smiled calmly and said, "I know that Middle Eastern tycoons are unreliable, but their credibility is more reliable than those guys from Israel. At least they won't be so arrogant as to do such things directly in the United States, and at least they won't interfere with our own development. However, oil capital is constantly eroding our internal affairs, and they are constantly influencing the United States. If we let them continue to develop, will the United States still be our United States?"

The old man scoffed, "John, I think you're exaggerating. They don't have that kind of power!"

"Hehe, that's what the President thinks, but I wouldn't dare to think that way. Think about what the situation was like in Europe back then, and then think about the United States itself. Their influence on us is constantly increasing, and I believe that soon these guys will do something even crazier, and they will target the United States and Europe. They will never give up and will never abandon their greed! If you don't believe me, it won't be long before there are results, and these guys will definitely use the elites as an excuse, and they will even directly target our education system, because they are worried that more people will come to compete for their interests!"

“John, what you’re saying is terrible. It’s impossible. Even if they had such thoughts, we would not accept it. America belongs to us, not them!” the old man said solemnly, his eyes revealing a firm determination.
“I don’t want to see this happen either, and I hope everyone can persevere, but it’s simply impossible. Because as soon as they make such a proposal, countless people will accept it. Whether in the US or Europe, most elites are willing to accept it; they don’t want their positions to be threatened. So, do you still think it’s impossible?” “John, aren’t you worried about your own position being threatened by those people?”

"I am indeed not worried, and in fact, none of you here need to worry, because we control elite education, and our descendants have more opportunities, while those people do not. However, if we listen to such a proposal, the entire United States will be plunged into crisis. If education goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. We depend on the strength of the United States. If the United States falls, will we still have everything we have today? Of course, you do not need to make a decision now; you can wait and see before making a decision."

Upon hearing John's words, everyone present nodded thoughtfully. They all understood that the situation John described would actually come to pass. As long as someone made this suggestion, it would definitely find a market. After all, people are selfish, especially the elites!
"John, since you can see through these guys' schemes, have you thought of a countermeasure? And we need such an arrangement!" Rockefeller looked at John calmly, wanting to hear John's plan.

"Entertainment: If you all want to control stress, then develop entertainment vigorously, but don't touch education, or you will regret it later. Putting aside everything else, just the source of soldiers is a problem. With the development of technology, we will not need ignorant soldiers in the future, but true elites!"

John didn't care whether these guys would believe him or not, because he had already taken the initiative by saying all this. If a big problem arose in the future, no one could pin the blame on him. As for what the United States would end up like, John didn't care either, because he wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.

“That makes sense. I think John is absolutely right. Think about the development of the gaming world, and look at the development of Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Group. This shows that John has always been thinking about us. And now that we've taken back the media from Oil Capital, we can fully participate in promoting entertainment, and it's lucrative!” Morgan didn't hesitate and directly agreed with John's statement. In his view, this was the best path!
"We are willing to push all of this forward, but we are afraid that someone will try to sabotage it. After all, Paramount has experienced this before, and in the media and entertainment sector, Japanese people occupy the top positions in major corporations. Everyone needs to be careful about this!"

"Yes, that is indeed a big problem. If we can't solve this problem, we could be taken advantage of by them at any time. Perhaps that's why those guys agreed to our conditions so readily. They think we're not capable of managing media and entertainment well, and that we'll eventually fail and hand it back to them!"

“Actually, you’re all overthinking it. So what if those guys have a certain advantage right now? As long as we work together, we won’t care about their little tricks. I didn’t even care about Paramount’s situation. This Earth can survive without anyone, let alone them. We have plenty of talented people to choose from!” John reminded everyone that there was no need to worry too much about these trivial matters. As long as we suppress the oil tycoons first, that’s enough.

Don't be fooled by how readily these guys listen to John now. When it comes to actually getting them to act, things will likely be very different. After all, these guys are untrustworthy, and John has never trusted them either. All he's saying is to put himself in control.

Oil-based capital is incredibly greedy, and so are the guys here. Faced with absolute profit, these guys will not refuse. So as long as Oil-based capital can offer something that tempts them, these guys will stand on the other side at any time, not caring about the life or death of the United States at all. After all, they don't even believe everything they say!
John spoke these words precisely because he knew how shameless and hypocritical these men were, and he revealed the potential future of the United States. These men didn't care, and neither did John. He was even less concerned about the reaction of the oil capitalists. He knew that after the meeting, someone would inevitably tell the oil capitalists everything. He was certain that some of these men were colluding with the oil capitalists, and that many couldn't stand to see him succeed. They preferred the interests of the United States to be controlled by the power of the oil capitalists. John was fully aware of this; after all, this was human nature, this was the greed of humanity.
