America: My Time

Chapter 784 Morgan's Reminder

Chapter 774 Morgan's Reminder
As Morgan finished speaking, Rockefeller was also deep in thought. If the Russians fell, the United States would have no rivals, and the world would enter an era of unification. Would they still need to care about those guys? Would the Middle East still be a problem?

After some contemplation, Rockefeller sighed, "Perhaps you're right. With the Russians gone, we really don't need to have any more reservations. Those guys should indeed be taught a lesson. But you also need to consider the consequences. After all, they're still useful. We can't let things get too out of hand, or we won't be able to clean up the mess!"

“I know, and John understands too. Don’t underestimate John. His ability to tolerate things time and time again is enough to show his wisdom. This time, he made the decision to fight back. You don’t think he’s really lost his mind, do you? It can only be said that those guys gave him enough reasons. He has more to do with it. Moreover, he is also expressing his dissatisfaction with the White House, or even with those guys at the Elephant House!” Morgan didn’t care about Rockefeller’s words and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

“Yes, everyone underestimated John, especially those guys who provoked him again and again. They’re just asking for trouble, and no one can save them. This time, everyone will pay a bloody price, and anyone who dares to participate will become your target. I believe many people hope this happens because they can gain enough benefits from it!” Rockefeller understood everything in an instant, realizing how brutal and terrifying the current situation was. Now, as long as John, the victim, takes action, and Morgan, the victim, takes action, no one will object. In fact, those guys will even push things along, taking the opportunity to eliminate more 'enemies' and seize more benefits.

"Human greed knows no bounds. Under the lure of profit, those guys are capable of anything. And this time, as long as John makes a move, they will definitely do everything in their power to help. So no one can stop this. The White House can't, and neither can you. Whoever jumps out will die. John is representing the interests of the majority. You should understand that."

“I understand. Those guys’ stupidity has driven them to a dead end. Who told them to court death, to repeatedly trample on the rules? The consequences of breaking the rules are predictable. If it were just about your Morgan party, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but they did something they shouldn’t have done afterward. That’s suicide. Now no one can save them. I even suspect that it might be those greedy guys behind this, trying to take advantage of the situation to seize the assets of those oil giants!” Rockefeller now strongly suspects that someone is pulling the strings behind this incident, otherwise such a dramatic turn of events wouldn’t have happened, but he has no evidence.

Morgan said calmly, "Perhaps, but that's no longer important. What's important is that someone was foolish enough to provoke John's bottom line again. So all of this is their own fault for being so stupid. Even if those guys did something, no one will investigate, and John won't even care. John wants to establish his authority, and they want profit, so it's a win-win situation, and Morgan is no exception!"

Understanding is useless; what's done is done, and no one can stop it. At this point, even if someone jumps out and says something, it's pointless. Those foolish guys have already entered the game and become everyone's target, prey. If Rockefeller insists on taking action and standing on the opposite side, he will pay a heavy price, or even be swallowed up. When greed erupts, even Rockefeller will have to back down.

“Morgan, I was only invited by the White House to communicate with you. As for how to choose and decide, that is your own business. It has nothing to do with me or the Rockefeller family. Since you can't even be sure if John has already made a move, what else can I say? The Rockefeller family will not participate in any of this. This is your own business, and you should resolve it yourselves. The Rockefeller family will remain neutral!”

"Good, I feel much more at ease with what you've said. I don't want those guys to put us on opposite sides, nor do I want a fight between us; that wouldn't be good for anyone. Actually, you can rest assured. At most, only those who plotted against John will pay a bloody price. Everyone else will be fine. Normal business competition is no big deal, but if someone tries to use underhanded methods, they'll pay a bloody price. If I'm not mistaken, this time it will be some guys from the New York Economic Club who will suffer. Just keep that in mind!"

When Morgan saw that Rockefeller indeed had no ill intentions or ulterior motives, he still gave him a slight reminder. Although there was no evidence, Morgan instinctively felt that all of this was related to the New York Economic Club. This time, some guys would be eliminated, and they would die silently without causing any public uproar.

"Those guys? How could they have such audacity? What are they trying to do?" Rockefeller's expression hardened, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes, finding Morgan's warning unbelievable.

"You should know what they want to do. Behind them are not only oil and capital, but also some arrogant guys. Do you remember that ridiculous suggestion someone made?"

As Morgan finished speaking, a look of shock flashed in Rockefeller's eyes. He was stunned by these words and said in a deep voice, "They wouldn't really intend to do this, would they? But haven't they considered how serious the consequences would be?" "Heh, do you think those guys care? They only care about themselves. Moreover, those guys have chosen to stand with the oil capital. Don't you understand why those oil capitalists are like this? They suffered a bloodbath once, so they don't want to face it again, and naturally, they have this crazy idea."

"Morgan, what are your thoughts on this?" Rockefeller asked Morgan at this moment. He wanted to know Morgan's opinion because Morgan now represented not just himself, but the entire Morgan family.

"I have no intention of interfering, and I will not get involved. I can only say that those guys are too naive. Even if their plan succeeds, they will suffer more losses than gains. However, since they are willing to take action, Morgan is naturally willing to see it. As long as Morgan does not participate, the success or failure will not affect Morgan himself. Moreover, this time they will have to face the bloodbath of that little fox John first."

"Morgan, are you sure which guys John, that little fox, is targeting? Mentioning those guys reminds me of his every move. His vigorous push for Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Group seems to align with their ideas, only John's methods are more covert. He won't easily expose everything and won't face any opposition, even allowing him to make a fortune. It seems this little fox has been planning this for a while. Perhaps we should listen to his opinions sometime; we might gain unexpected insights. After all, this little fox is incredibly shrewd; even we old guys are being manipulated by him!"

“I don’t want to ask that little John, nor is there any need to. What good would it do us if we knew? Profits are important, but the family’s legacy is even more important. I don’t want to make an enemy of this little fox, or the family will be wiped out by him a hundred years from now.”

When Morgan mentioned the family, Rockefeller couldn't help but sigh. He understood perfectly well, but he lacked Morgan's self-control. He couldn't resist his greed and did things he shouldn't have done. Therefore, there was a considerable conflict between the Rockefeller family and John.

Just as Rockefeller was about to say something more, Morgan shook his head and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Morgan won't be involved in your plans. I'm not willing to stand against that little fox John. Although we value interests, it's on the premise that the family's development is not affected. You don't really think we can control every era, you don't think you have everything under control, do you? What Rothschild couldn't do back then, I don't think we can do either, so Morgan won't take the risk!"

Morgan was well aware of the potential benefits John could bring, but he wouldn't risk seizing them. He would only try to befriend and cooperate with him, avoiding any trouble or enemies for his family. No family is invincible, and Morgan didn't want to put his family in a predicament.

Seeing Morgan's reaction, Rockefeller sighed, realizing that saying anything more would be useless. Now he had to reply to the White House, since he had been entrusted by the White House to meet Morgan. Although he had not achieved his goal, he still had to give the White House an answer.

"Alright, since you insist, I have nothing more to say. I'll go back and give the White House a reply. I won't get involved in your affairs, and whatever the White House thinks is none of my business!" Rockefeller said as he got up and left, not staying any longer. After all, there was no use saying anything at this point, and no one could change Morgan's decision.

However, Rockefeller had already sensed one thing: the Elephant had botched things this time. It would be impossible for them to gain everyone's approval again and successfully vie for the presidency. Morgan and John would no longer support them, and even if John, the little fox, had a falling out with the donkey, he wouldn't support the Elephant anymore. In short, the Elephant had become arrogant; perhaps their successive successes had made them complacent.
