America: My Time

Chapter 921 Compromise Under Dire Circumstances
Chapter 891 Compromise Under Dead End

"Impossible! They wouldn't dare do that. For them to treat us so cruelly means they have an irreconcilable hatred!"

"Heh, you're really stupid. It seems you've been influenced by that crazy idea and can't even see the situation clearly, or even your own identity. You think it's impossible, you think it's a blood feud, but do we have that kind of power? Do we dare to fight them to the death? Do you really think we can do whatever we want in the United States? Do you really think the United States is under our control? Wake up, stop deceiving yourself!"

"That's right, you should wake up now, most people should wake up now. Don't be fooled by those ridiculous fantasies anymore. We don't have the strength to fight them to the death, at least I don't think we have that strength or that ability. Of course, if you insist on thinking that way and doing that, then I won't stop you. After all, you have your own ideas and your own plans. However, I still remind you to first understand the media we control!"

"Alright, don't get your hopes up too high. If those guys have already made their move, it's too late for us to have any ideas now. They've already made their move, so it's too late to find out what's going on. We should use this time to think about how to deal with this storm. John has really gone all out against us. We've lost this time, and we've lost badly. We've forgotten what caution is. When we were so arrogant and thought we had everything under control, we didn't realize that it was just our own illusion. We've been used as pawns without even realizing it. Let's make peace. We can't go on like this."

Just as those words were spoken, the phone rang. It was their emergency call. First, one person's phone rang, and soon all the phones of these oil tycoons rang. When they answered the phone, their faces turned grim. Everything was just as they had feared. Their media outlets had run into trouble. Explanations came from their media. Now they truly had no way out. They had been outmaneuvered by those hidden figures.

"Well, I believe you've all received the notification. We've lost this time, and we've lost badly. Now we have to compromise. If we don't compromise, there will be no place for us to survive in the United States. Those guys will try to wipe us out and give us no chance. If we can't find John, then we'll talk to old Martin, talk to Morgan, talk to the White House. We don't have much time left!"

Yes, these guys don't have much time left. Although it's only one night, everything that happened that night is enough to send them to hell and subject them to the wrath of the American people. They've been outmaneuvered by the enemy and are now in dire straits. They can only cut their losses and survive by preserving themselves.

"We also thought that even if the enemy didn't give us such an opportunity—after all, John is a madman, and the bastard who schemed against us wouldn't give us such an opportunity either—the most important thing is that compromise comes at a price. How can we get them to accept our compromise, our reconciliation? At this point, stop being arrogant and presumptuous, thinking that we are indispensable to them. If you still hold such foolish and crazy ideas, I can only say that you are beyond saving. Tell me, what conditions can we offer to make them compromise and stop targeting us?"

For a moment, these guys fell into deep thought, calculating what they had. But after some deliberation, they all sighed with distress, clearly unable to come up with a compromise. This time, it was impossible for them to avoid paying a price, so they were all in great pain.

"We can't think of anything. We really can't think of any conditions we can offer to make these guys stop targeting us. Besides, we made a huge mistake this time, giving them a perfect excuse. If we have to talk about conditions, we can't meet them. We can only get Isel to step in. Only if they step in can we have a chance to get away. This time, that little fox John is determined to target us. If those insidious bastards make a move, we'll be forced into a dead end."

"Please rest assured, everyone. The Israelites have already set off and will arrive in the United States soon to explain everything and provide us with the greatest assistance. However, we also need to negotiate some terms. It's impossible to achieve this without paying any price. This defeat means we can't cause any more trouble or target John for a long time, otherwise no one will be able to save us."

"I don't think there's any point in negotiating now. Even if we wanted to compromise, we couldn't set the terms. Those guys would take the initiative to demand them from us, and we wouldn't have the right to refuse. We can only hope that those bastards will show mercy because the Middle East still needs us. But that little fox John will never show us any mercy!"

This guy is right. The US will likely not suppress them too much given the situation in the Middle East. But John is different. As a victim in this affair, and possessing substantial evidence, how could he possibly back down? How could he possibly let them off the hook? There's no way he'd do anything without a clear benefit. "Gentlemen," he says, "I don't know if you've heard what that little fox John has to say about the military industry, but I'm telling you, he's absolutely right. It won't be long before the US reduces its investment in the military industry. We can compromise on this, and we need to make Israel compromise, giving this guy the opportunity to cooperate with Middle Eastern tycoons!"

"This is impossible. If we continue to let this little fox cooperate with those bastards in the Middle East, the threat to us will be even greater. I strongly oppose this proposal. It threatens our very survival in the Middle East!"

"If you disagree, what can you do to stop it? Even if we wanted to stop all of this now, do you think the White House would agree? Do you think the military would agree? Or do you think we can get those guys in Congress to agree? And even if we did, do you think John's abilities in Europe aren't enough to help the Middle Eastern tycoons? Or do you think he can't use Er Mao's hands to help the Middle Eastern tycoons? Compromise will allow us to keep everything within a manageable range. If we don't compromise, it will really get completely out of control. You can't be unaware of this, can you? You can't be oblivious, can you?"

Now that things have come to this point, how could everyone present not understand their current ability to influence the White House, or even the military? Knowing what happened last night, the White House definitely holds a grudge against them. Fortunately, Old Man Shih is almost finished with his job, otherwise they would be in big trouble. Old Man Shih would do everything he could to deal with them, after all, they really tricked Old Man Shih this time, and tricked him badly.

Of course, these guys knew they had also been tricked, but they had no way to complain and could only bear all the bad reputation. Now, they could only compromise to prevent things from getting worse and to prevent them from suffering even more terrible blows. So now they could only bow their heads, admit defeat, and surrender!

"Alright, let's leave it at that. We'll back down and admit defeat. As long as that little fox John lets us go, any price we pay will be worth it. If we lose even our last chance and our foothold in the US, what do you think will happen to us? Don't worry about material things; we should just bow our heads when necessary. However, we can ask those guys at the Federal Reserve for some help to ease our pressure, since they still need our strength!"

“I will handle this matter. I will talk to them. I believe that as long as I am still of use to them, they will not refuse my request. However, the issue of compensation still needs to be discussed. At least John, that little fox, needs to be given sufficient compensation, otherwise this matter will not end, and we will not have peace.”

"Yes, we can't let our guard down with this little fox. The situation in California isn't over yet, but it's over in Oregon. We have to back down. I'll contact Morgan, and you all should contact other conglomerates. At least make sure they don't take action against us immediately. We need to stall until Israel appears. Let's all act. At this point, let's not hold back anymore. Let's bring out all our resources!"

Faced with such danger, these guys finally made a decision. Since they had no choice but to compromise, they had to act quickly and not let things continue to develop in an unknown direction and get out of their control. That was the most dangerous thing. At this time, although they also wanted to regain control of their media outlets, they ultimately gave up. Now was not the time to fight for control. Doing so now would only be counterproductive and would only make things more dangerous. In fact, this was what the other side wanted to see, so that they could shift more blame onto these oily capitalists.

One wrong step leads to another. To end everything, one must bow one's head and compromise with the other party. If one doesn't even admit one's mistake, how can the other party be willing to give up? So at this moment, the first thing these oil tycoons think about is not protecting their wealth, but rather helping them get through the crisis, at least ensuring they don't lose their foothold in the United States.

Of course, these guys also understood that their every move was being watched by someone with ulterior motives. At this point, they needed to be even more cautious and careful. They shouldn't bother the other party without absolute certainty, otherwise, trouble could easily arise again. Those cunning and treacherous bastards couldn't have been unaware of their reaction, so they needed to be even more prepared and vigilant in this matter!
