Carmen hung up the phone call from Johnson

He sunk into the chair, and his fingers pinched his eyebrows as he looked into the dark and long night.

Just now, Johnson “convinced” the senate’s speaker. The bill to amend the military service system could be drafted by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. The next step was voting, which shouldn’t receive too much resistance.

As for Peter…

Carmen admitted that the idiot dying at this juncture was a heavy blow to his strategic deployment in Europe.

But if he could last till next month, there should be room to turn the table.

Opening the desk drawer, Carmen took out a box of pills, poured two out and stuffed them into his mouth. His tired nerves gradually relaxed.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Jewish consortium was glorious and prosperous. Making a fortune in the financial crisis, and letting the entire UA people foot the bills. At the time of the election, it donated money to both sides, manipulated politics, defended Israel, robbed the Third World, and as if the world is just a game. The Jewish consortium was winning in everything… but in fact, the situation couldn’t get any worse.

Especially now.

It was an unprecedentedly bad situation

Since the war with Future Group, they didn’t seem to live a peaceful day. They had several opportunities to kill that man, but the opportunities slipped away from their hands again and again. Last time, Future Group and the WASP consortium almost took out Goldman Sachs.

But he did not regret that he chose to be Future Group’s enemy.

In order to protect his own interest, the incumbent forces were bound to create conflict with emerging forces. Either be replaced or be swallowed by the enemy and digested into something of their own. From the day when Future Mining was founded, he had already foreseen the day when the two sides would meet in arms.

Eighty percent of the world’s ore trade was controlled by them. Fifty percent of the oil trade was directly or indirectly related to their assets. But since the series of “issues” such as the space elevator, asteroid mining, and oil crops emerged, their wealth was shrinking at an exponential rate.

He firmly believed that if Jiang Chen chose financial markets and arms trade as an entry point, those UA-based consortia would not have any reservation at all.

Hesitated for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“Hello?”

“It’s me.”

There was pleasant laughter on the other end.

“Mr. Rothschild, how are you doing?”

Without being bothered by the sarcasm from the other party, Carmen took a deep breath and sighed.

“Stop with your disgraceful American humor, Daniel Morgan, I’m here to discuss business with you.”

“Oh? What business? Are you planning to merge the UA and Mexico?” Daniel Morgan acted surprised

“Do you want to join forces?”

“Join forces?” As if he heard a ridiculous joke, Daniel chuckled. “Man, did you forget something? We fought tooth to nail over the Goldman Sachs acquisition six months ago. Now you are planning to work with me?”

“There are no eternal enemies, there are no eternal allies,” Carmen said coldly. “You really think of yourself as good allies of Future Group? Then why are you watching them make a mess in Europe? Instead of doing the deed yourself?

“Humiliating the poor is not a gentlemanly thing to do.”

“Don’t kid yourself. You don’t want to see them rise. Even if you were in the same trench together, you would never regard them as one of your own. Do you really want me to put it all out there for you to stop acting ignorant?” Carmen said blatantly.

“Oh,” Daniel Morgan smiled, changed the hand he held the phone with, and then put his feet on the desk, “Do you think we want to see you make a comeback? My dear Mr. Rothschild, is your brain influenced by that Golden Apple? If you are sitting in my seat, would you help me?”

Although he had been watching without emotion, Morgan didn’t keep his eyes closed. He understood very clearly what the 7th Institute studied, but just like Jiang Chen, he didn’t take it to heart.

Only a person with a malfunctioning brain would bet everything on an illusory possibility, at least in his opinion,
