America started its counterattack from the bum

“Niu Sen, although we each have our own unshakable positions on many things, obviously, we are also friends and have a cooperative relationship.

There are some things that you and I understand. We, they, and the key figures among today's guests will not easily use our precious political resources on unimportant matters.

If you want a good result, don't interrupt me. If you want a good result, at least for yourself, you have to pay the price.

Nancy and I are risking everything, what about you?"

The conflict of interests between the California Elephant Party and the Imperial Speaker is extremely huge. There are huge differences from real and concrete interests to abstract and difficult to express interests.

The confrontation between the two sides is inevitable driven by interests. Nancy cannot retreat. This is not only related to her dissatisfaction with Mr. Cheng's greed, but also because she has a financial backer behind her.

The same goes for President Cheng - no one can easily use their precious political resources on unimportant matters.

The inertia of decision-making and behavior, from taking advantage of the general trend to being swept up by the general trend, Mr. Cheng did not think this was a backlash, but Mi'er did not think so at the beginning.

Putting aside these issues of detail and logic, the result is simple: Mr. Cheng cannot back down easily - preparing a retreat in advance itself is a concern about the prospect of future compromise.

"Chan, yes, you guys bet everything, but I bet everything too. But you can't always get what you want by pushing your friends into a dead end. You're almost driving me to death."

Niu Sen is very clear about the extreme pressure strategy. Cheng Zong is applying pressure, Nancy is applying pressure, and everyone else is also applying pressure. He may be the first one to be crushed in this fight between the giants.

"You can't die, and I didn't force you. I gave you so much money, Niu Sen, you know I paid the price!"

Cheng Daiqi replied somewhat impatiently.

In his opinion, the cooperation between Niu Sen and himself is a win-win situation for both parties. America is at a disadvantage. They are all bastards. Why are you blaming me?

Using morality and debt to demand benefits, what's the difference between that and kneeling on the ground begging for food?
friend?

I was just talking, you took it seriously?

No, Niu Sen certainly didn’t take it seriously, he was just trying to disgust President Cheng!
The problem is, it would be fine if Niu Sen just wanted money.

This guy not only got the money, but also got the future support promised by Mr. Cheng. But now, he wants to increase the price just because he suffered a little loss!

nausea!

Cheng Daiqi doesn't owe Niu Sen anything. It's impossible for the loser to throw a tantrum and the winner to share the victory with them, right?
There is no such a stupid thing in this world!

"So how do you want to end this?"

Mr. Zhou Mu was helpless in the face of Mr. Cheng's stubbornness. No one was a small figure who could be easily swayed.

Mr. Cheng has the power to make decisions, but like Nancy and Niu Sen, the price he has to pay for making decisions is extremely high - just like the President who has supreme power but cannot act lightly.

Betting, increasing the stakes, and going all in, step by step until now, Mr. Cheng’s decision-making has actually been hijacked, and the same goes for Niu Sen and Nancy.

"Let the damn private prison project be completed. It's that simple. I don't understand why your aunt is so obsessed with this matter that she wants to fight me to death. Is she really crazy?"

Niu Sen asked in confusion.

"Didn't you just say that these things are just superficial, and the internal logic is the key?"

The conflict between the Donkey and the Elephant parties could be so easily triggered by the dispute between President Cheng and Nancy. Of course, there are internal causes - the game between different capital interest groups.

Some capital interest groups that have enjoyed huge excess returns by taking advantage of American hegemony in the process of globalization have long maintained the mainstream discourse power in the United States and are also the financial backers behind the Donald Trump Party.

Latecomers like Mr. Cheng and Wolf are unwilling to be their dogs, so Mr. Cheng plays with cryptocurrency.

The families behind Achilles and Giorgio are old-school establishment financiers.

Magnus and Crusoe represent players who were so small that they did not even enter the game, but were later pulled into the game by President Cheng.

In short, at a time when American hegemony is in decline, the contradictions between the two major interest groups that were once suppressed by rapid expansion have completely erupted.

"The specific things are not so closely related to the distant and grand narrative. If you make the private prison project a success, you can make money, I can make money, and if Nanxi is willing to give in, she can also make money.

The point is, there's no way I'm going to back down, you know?

You are also aware of the conflict between me and Wolfe. If Wolfe can replace me in the future, he will be even less likely to back down! "

Politics, politics, as long as human beings are organized, complex interests will arise, which need to be reconciled by political means.

Neither Cheng Daiqi nor Wolfe are government employees of the United States, but the power game between them is the best interpretation of politics.

If Wolfe wants to take away Mr. Cheng's position, he will have to bear the consequences of Mr. Cheng's actions!

Why didn't Cheng Zong dare to win randomly? When he asked Niu Sen for something, he only dared to ask for a private prison?

Because if you win too much, things will become troublesome!
Niu Sen stopped talking. His subconscious judgment at this moment was the same as Schumer and Diane's:

No matter how serious Nancy's madness was, she could not back off at the critical moment of Wolfe's marriage to the President.

The commander-in-chief is her mortal enemy.

Wolfe, the nasty little Deng of the California Elephant Party.

At this moment, the spiral of death unfolded little by little, and Niu Sen's heart was cold.

Damn God, why don’t you bless me?
"If neither of you intends to give in, how long will this stalemate last?"

The governor asked with lowered eyebrows.

"Are you asking me?" Mr. Cheng was a little confused.

"certainly."

Niu Sen was also helpless. He had interests on both sides, and both sides had reasons that he could not give up. He felt extremely embarrassed being squeezed in the middle.

From a positive perspective, President Cheng can limit Wolf's development and increase the momentum of the California Elephant Party through extreme confrontation.

Nancy is similar. Through this fierce confrontation, she can give an explanation to the financial backers behind her and demonstrate her hegemony in the American power field.

Niu Sen is just pure pressure-resistant.

The checks given by Mr. Cheng are all expected returns, and the threats given by Nancy are also objective.

Mr. Cheng is not in a hurry. Nancy can't retreat, and Niu Sen feels like there are a hundred detonators under his butt, which may explode at any time.

“Until a third party can no longer bear it and chooses to pay a certain price to mediate.

As a friend, I would not recommend you to play this role from the beginning.

If a third party mediates, you can still explain your betrayal to your aunt, but if you

President Cheng looked Niu Sen up and down without saying much, but his meaning was self-evident.

This was a refutation of Niu Sen's previous suggestion. Niu Sen believed that if Mr. Cheng took a step back, he could convince his aunt to take a step back as well. This idea was somewhat too subjective.

The governor smiled bitterly and nodded. After hearing what Mr. Cheng said, he finally saw everything clearly.

Mr. Cheng and Nancy are both assholes. Both sides just want to win, and no one is willing to take responsibility.

Capitol Hill shutdown?
American political crisis?
No one cares!
-
"But they don't think about what they can gain if America is destroyed and the world enters an era of chaos again.
Gru, this is the problem - the big capitalists and financial oligarchs take too much, but are unwilling to take responsibility. The President doesn't even pay as much in taxes as I do!
Poor Tian Jian, he is a hundred, a thousand times richer than me!"

Benny and Gru were seated together at the banquet, and they were also discussing why America needed to return to the feudal system.

The version rollback thing sounds outrageous, but after Benny's explanation, Gru actually became interested. "Then what do you think of Chan and Temir? They actually took responsibility, but it was the responsibility of the California Elephant Party."

Gru does not have a high level of education, but he understands that Mr. Cheng is, in a sense, a person who is willing to take risks and fulfill his obligations.

It seems that some of President Cheng’s behaviors are extremely outrageous, but from the perspective of his subordinates and the California Elephant Party faction, President Cheng has done a good job.

The white gang suffered some losses in the game between President Cheng and different forces such as the California Gang and Garcetti, but President Cheng also gave corresponding compensation - although not much, but there was some.

Before the bomb was discovered, Gru's opinion of Mr. Cheng was that the rewards he gave were not consistent with what he had promised before.

It’s not that Mr. Cheng didn’t give him anything in return.

The annual salary of tens of millions is not earned in vain!
“Look, you also said that they are only responsible for the California Elephant Party. Capitol Hill was shut down because of his confrontation with Nancy. Is he anxious?
No!

From the perspective of Xinshi’s vice president, I would be proud of my boss’s strong heart and unlimited fighting spirit. This is my starting point of interest.

But in reality, local forces in the United States are eroding the federal government's governance system in a similar way.

If returning to feudalism is just an interesting topic, then our country needs a stronger federal government.

Gru sneered and complained.

"Then you should join the Donkey Party. We in the Elephant Party play small government. The establishment of the Elephant Party was born in the local area, not in the federal bureaucracy."

Benny retorted very seriously.

"A strong federal government and a powerful bureaucracy are not the same thing, and the West Coast cross-state Elephant Party ideological alliance that Chan wants to build is a manifestation of the pursuit of greater power.

A small government can also have great power. Judging from the speed at which illegal immigrants are pouring into the United States, if we don’t act now, the Democratic Party will enter an era where it can win any election in the future.”

Gru was deeply involved in the identity business jointly operated by Mr. Cheng and Niu Sen. He knew that what Benny said was true.

But from his perspective, he has a different opinion from Benny about Mr. Cheng's choice.

“You see, this is the difference between us. On the surface, you appear to be a realistic workplace elite, but, Benny, you still have an academic background after all.

Spending so much time in college and then doing a master's degree has influenced your thoughts and positions.

Compared to the future of those insignificant countries and the tomorrow of America, Chan and I are more concerned about our tomorrow.

Even if the Democratic Party enters an era where it can win any election in the future, it does not mean that the California Elephant Party will be finished. The Elephant Party will be finished.

The Donkey Party has never been a monolithic entity. You hope that America can unite and become a greater America, but the MAGA faction’s claim to power has been taken by Chan and Wolf.”

Benny's face turned red when he heard Gru say that, and he defended himself.

"I am not MAGA. MAGA is just a fake slogan. What that man is doing is destroying the foundation of America."

Gru said disdainfully.

"What do you think is the foundation of America? Is it business companies? Is it capital tycoons? Is it united Americans?

No, neither of them, it’s us, the specific us!

Whether it is the America that you mentioned that returns to the feudal era, or the America with a strong federal center that you want, there will not necessarily be a place for us.

And now we have our place in America, and it’s very central.”

What Gru said may sound ridiculous, but it actually hits the nail on the head.

A greater America, a great empire sailing towards the stars and the sea, sounds really good.

But what Gru cares about is, will he have a place on that new era ship?
If there is a seat, is it first or 1st class?
"I shouldn't have talked so much with a high school student like you, Gru. You don't understand. The President has changed America's strategic expansion to strategic contraction.

This contraction can improve some situations in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely damage America's hegemony. After World War II and the Cold War, we built the current global system bit by bit and became the greatest country in human history.

The expansion of the system is also the expansion of our ruling power, and the contraction of the system is also the contraction of our ruling power! "

Benny's ideas are very 'orthodox' and correct.

but.
"Hahaha, Benny, if you ask me, you are not as good as me. You are just like me even if you become stupid after reading too much.

The confrontation between Chan and Nancy, and between the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party, are actually the same thing: they are fighting for some kind of dominance.

The President is dismantling America's global system, which is a move against the Democratic Party's supporters within the bureaucratic system.

You can see the difference between a strong bureaucracy and a strong government, but you cannot see the intrinsic connection between the receding tide of globalization and the Elephant Party's suppression of the Donkey Party.

I don't think you are stupid, I just think you are too naive!
There is a reason why Robert doesn't appreciate you.

You have so many friends and connections on the West Coast and in Washington, which is a good thing, but it's also your disadvantage.

On the surface, you are already one of us, but deep down you cannot accept the cruel rules of competition.

From this perspective, it's not surprising that you're interested in America's return to feudalism. You hope that there will be a strong person who can solve the problem and then everything will be fine.

Too naive, hahahaha.

If you don’t fight among yourself, you are doomed to never reach a higher level. If you don’t change yourself, Benny, I’m afraid you will never be more than a vice president in your life.”

Benny was speechless. He wanted to say that a summer insect cannot talk about ice, but his brain told him that what Gru said was true.

He is very popular, so he can become a disciple of a big boss by virtue of his extensive network of contacts.

But because of this, he was not strong and decisive enough to adapt to the fierce struggle.

Looking at Benny who was eating with his head down and didn't want to talk, Gru curled his lips in boredom.

You can't do it!

The black policeman picked up his phone, opened the social software, and liked a post from someone in his follow list.

Things are different now. Gru is attending a banquet in the banquet hall of the palace. Even if he stretches a hundred times, his subordinates outside cannot see him.

So, they decided on a special code.

In ancient times, breaking a cup was a signal, but nowadays, giving a thumbs up is a signal.

After Gru clicked the "like" button, he looked at Wolfe and Tiffany. The newlyweds were chatting and laughing with the bosses.

Today's ceremony went very smoothly, so smoothly that Gru was reminded of his wedding with the transgender person.

Thinking of this, Gru smiled.

"boom!"

The sound of an explosion came from outside. The explosion was so violent that the glass in the banquet hall was shaking and the chandelier on the ceiling of the hall was shaking.

Mr. Cheng and Niu Sen thought that no one cared about Wolf's wedding, but they were wrong.

Gru: I care. I really care!

Internal fighting, Gru never backs down! (End of this chapter)
