America: My Time

Chapter 1603 Revealing the truth
Chapter 1593 Revealing the Truth

"Dad, are you saying they're all scheming against each other?" Little Bu Shi understood somewhat, but he still had some doubts. Why was that? John's strength was undeniable; he could easily use his power to intimidate others. And even if they compromised, there was no need to cut off their own martial arts. Having military assets in hand and not having them in hand were two different things!

"It all depends on their methods. You don't really think John is clueless or stupid enough to risk his own life. Remember, John's most important assets aren't those military-industrial companies. And you only saw John's decision, but you didn't see the many calculations hidden behind it. Don't take yourself too seriously. Even if you were the president, you couldn't afford to offend those conglomerates. John's ability to become a member of the American conglomerates speaks volumes about his strength. And John's most powerful asset is Jaguar Security, which is part of the Oregon National Guard. You should know that this force has always been under John's control. Also, you really think John has a bad relationship with the military? I can tell you definitively that he does have conflicts with the Army, but he has good relations with a large portion of the Navy, and the Air Force is even closer to him. What you see is only what he wants people to see."

"Why? This doesn't do him any good at all!"

"What else could it be? He's just covering something up. He doesn't want people to know more about him. Most importantly, do you really think those weapons in the hands of Middle Eastern tycoons are under their control? What do you think would happen if those weapons got out of control one day? If someone is unlucky, who will take the blame?"

"Hiss! This is insane! Can John really do this?" Little Bush couldn't believe his ears. If his father hadn't said this, he would never have believed it!

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. Nobody knows how powerful John truly is, especially in Africa and South America, as well as Europe and Asia. Do you think John has a huge influence in Northern Europe? How much influence does he have in Asia? And most terrifyingly, it's Africa and South America. Nobody knows how much equipment those guys have obtained from John. After all, when Russia fell, many of their weapons went missing, and everyone believes that 90% of them fell into John's hands. And this equipment is hidden in Africa and South America. It's fine if it's not used, but once it's used, what do you think will happen? Think about it carefully. He's not as simple as you think, otherwise, none of this would have happened. Why has Morgan insisted on cooperating with John? Is it just friendship, just profit? No, there are also concerns about that."

"But if he has such power, why do those old guys like Rockefeller still dare to be so arrogant, and why do oil and gas companies still dare to be so crazy? Aren't they afraid of John's retaliation?"

"Of course they're afraid, but they still harbor a glimmer of hope. After all, it's just speculation, without any evidence. John did something incredibly ruthless back then, and even the Russians fell too quickly. Few people know what happened during that time. But think about Russia's attitude towards John. They even sold the White Swan fighter jet and the An-225. Do you think John emptied their coffers? Don't pay attention to those oil-rich guys. If they're not targeting John and just have some ordinary cooperation, you can accept it. But whatever it takes, don't get involved with John. We don't have John's confidence, nor do we have the confidence of Rockefeller and Morgan. They control considerable power, while we can't! They can mobilize resources at crucial moments, but we can't. That's the difference, do you understand?"

"Dad, do you think John really has connections in Africa and South America? Why does everyone believe he has that kind of power? If so, why hasn't it been discovered after all this time?"

"I don't know. The situation in Africa is chaotic, and so is in South America. As long as you're cautious, it's hard for anyone to get anything out of it. After all, there are so many hidden places to set up operations!" The old man paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Remember, never try to investigate John's secrets. Doing so will only put you in danger. Think about the situation in London, and you'll understand how crazy and terrifying these conglomerates are! Actually, I think John made a very good point. If those guys continue to be arrogant and unruly, the United States will soon fall into chaos and disorder again, and then the United States will be in danger!"

"I don't know why John insists on hiding himself so well. I really don't know what he's thinking. He clearly has the absolute strength to overwhelm everything, but he insists on pretending to be a victim!"

"Disguise, that's his greatest strength. Otherwise, how could he have so easily manipulated so many people? Have you considered how far John's big data project has progressed? Have you noticed the crazy changes happening at Bell Labs? And think about Gulfstream Aerospace now—it's all part of a grand scheme. To be honest, John's Industry 4.0 plan should have already started. If he succeeds, his power will expand to a terrifying level. Don't be fooled by the so-called Illuminati and those guys. John is the most terrifying madman! Remember, force is the foundation of everything. Without force, even if those guys have a lot of wealth, they're just easy prey in other people's eyes."

"Dad, do you really believe in John's big data plan and his Industry 4.0 plan? Don't all the experts say it's just wishful thinking? Even the industries of various countries don't accept this idea!" Little Bush asked doubtfully. After all, John's Industry 4.0 plan had been mentioned more than once, but so many years had passed and there was still no sign of it, which naturally made everyone ridicule him!

"I ask you, how much high technology did John control? Do you know why that old man Rockefeller insisted on targeting John's semiconductor chip project, why he specifically targeted John, and why he took over Dreamworld and Nvidia, and quickly broke them up? Have you considered the reasons behind all of this?"

"Dad, could it be that he's sabotaging John's Industry 4.0 plan?"

Old Bu Shi nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, they're targeting John's plan. The Industry 4.0 plan requires powerful chips, and John's big data plan has always been thought to be in the hands of Dreamworld, but in the end, they found nothing. The Starlink project seems crazy now, but if it succeeds, everything will be completely different. The global positioning system is already perfected, and his communication satellite project has also succeeded. If this final step of the Starlink project is also perfected, how far will his information control go? And Global Online is also in his hands. Tell me how terrifying John's strength is. Is it difficult for him to strike at anyone he wants?"

"John has been using a strategy of retreating to advance all along. Do you think those old guys don't know that? Why don't they stop him?"

“To stop them, they need the strength. The military's plan has succeeded; they're already targeting John's Starlink project, which makes many people think they can suppress John's development. However, they're more worried about the military-industrial complexes. After all, Lockheed's research capabilities are terrifying, which is one of the reasons why the military is suppressing Gulfstream Aerospace! Remember, no matter how chaotic things are in the Middle East, don't try to target John's power there. Those guys only know what John wants them to know. Those guys in Seville think they have many secrets, but they only know what John wants them to know!” “Dad, are you worried I'll be deceived by those guys and side with John?”

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I’m worried about. Don’t you think you’re getting a little too cocky? You think John left the US because he was afraid of those guys? No, he wanted to see who would step forward. You think John is compromising in Asia? No, he’s setting up a plan. Remember, no matter what those guys say, ignore anything related to John. If they want to cause trouble, let them do it themselves. We won’t be the first to stick our necks out, or you’ll be in danger!”

"Dad, what are you afraid of? What do you know?"

Old Bu sighed and said, "I don't know much, but from this limited information, I can tell what those guys are up to. John's willingness to compromise this time will drive many people even crazier. Greed will make some stupid bastards lose their minds, and you are one of the people they want to influence!"

"Me? They want me to target John? I'd have to be crazy to do that!"

"You can say that now, but can you be sure what will happen in the future? Profits are tempting, and under the absolute lure of profit, can you guarantee you won't be affected? Those old guys have known for a long time that John is using a strategy of retreat to advance, but have they ever succeeded? And what has been the outcome of every time these old guys have taken assets from John? Now, all they can hope for is the financial maneuvering of Oil Pacific Capital. They hope that Oil Pacific Capital will defeat John financially, but what do you think the chances of that succeeding are? From military industry to high technology, to energy, and finance, John is an industry giant. Now, John has more than just Gulfstream Aerospace in his hands. The Bentley Group is also very powerful. Don't be fooled by the word 'cars'; his military capabilities in Europe should not be underestimated either."

"That Russian! It's all the Russian's fault! John got too many benefits from him!"

"Yes, it's all related to the Russians. Nobody knows how much John benefited from the Russians back then. Those old guys only had their eyes on finance, on the Russians' wealth, but John had his eyes on technology, on many other technologies. And after the Russians fell, this guy practically emptied the Russians' house. Otherwise, do you think he could have achieved such rapid development in the military and industrial sectors?"

"Dad, why didn't you guys make an effort in this area back then? I don't believe those old guys didn't think of the Russians' technology. Why didn't they gain anything? This is not normal at all."

"It's not that we don't want to target the Russians, but the systems are different, and even if we did, it wouldn't be of much help. But John is different. What he lacked most was an industrial base, those technologies and formulas. Otherwise, why do you think Gulfstream Aerospace's large aircraft program succeeded so quickly? It had so much Russian technology behind it. And why did John dare to start his space carrier program? It's still Russian technology. I even suspect that John has a complete set of Russian technology. This time, John abandoned Lockheed and Hughes aircraft. Next, I'm afraid he will make full use of Russian technology."

"South, Mexico, the car city?" Xiao Bushi immediately thought of the car city that John had built with all his might back then, and his investment in Mexico. After all, John was the most powerful when it came to investing in the south, and he could influence the entire country.

"Yes, it's not just the car city, but also steel, communications, and shipbuilding."

“Impossible. I haven’t heard of Gulfstream Aerospace or any other group acquiring any shipbuilding facilities there,” Little Bush said with a puzzled look, after all, he had seen a lot of information about John when he took office.

"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. Think about whether John has ports under his control, whether it's those mining groups or John's shipping group. How many ports does he control? He has a presence in many important ports around the world! If a full-scale war breaks out, John has the ability to stop the transportation of many people and cut off those guys' global supply chains."

The claim that "Old Man" is not entirely unfounded is plausible, given that John controls numerous mining and energy resources worldwide, as well as many ports and shipping companies. A closer look at John's assets reveals just how formidable his resources are; he controls a vast amount of minerals, especially semiconductors and rare earth elements!
Silence fell quickly on Xiao Bushi's lips. The more he learned, the more shocked he became, and the more he realized he had indeed been a bit too cocky, misled by John's voluntary compromise. If he was like this, one could only imagine how others felt, especially those who had benefited. John's move was too clever; his strategy of feigning retreat was too masterful. If things continued like this, who knew how many would jump out and become the first to suffer the consequences! If it weren't for his father's reminder, he might have become a victim like them!
