Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

The first ray of light in controlled nuclear fusion must be ignited on Chinese soil!

……

Chen Limin, wearing a black coat, quietly entered the Xishan base.

This is Mr. Zhu's private office.

It was already past midnight when a secret guest arrived.

After knocking three times, the homeowner responded, and Chen Linong entered.

"You are... Chen from the Confidential Department. Long time no see. What brings you here?"

When Old Zhu saw the person who had arrived, he raised an eyebrow.

He remembered that it was this kid who was the first to report Fang Jing's unusual behavior.

"Mr. Zhu, I have been doing intelligence work ever since the attack in the Gulf."

Chen Limin chuckled softly, and with a slightly suppressed excitement, explained to Elder Zhu in a low voice:

“Our people followed the signal and tracked it down to the United States, and recently there has been further progress.”

"However, there's another piece of news that excites me even more than this intelligence!"

After excitedly finishing his report, Chen Limin handed a sealed letter to Old Zhu with both hands.

"Intelligence from the US?"

Old Zhu raised an eyebrow.

Why are you so happy? It must be good news.

As he spoke, he used a knife to cut open the seal, signed his name, and then pulled out the document inside.

But just seeing the title of the document made Zhu Lao's pupils shrink sharply, and then a look of extreme interest appeared on his face.

He read aloud with great interest:

"Five major capitalists in Texas have secretly bribed the commander of the Second Fleet and are attempting to revive our petrochemical agreement?"

"Hehe, this looks like something big is about to happen."

Gently setting down the document, Old Zhu squinted and glanced at Chen Limin.

"I think we might be able to help them."

"The underground big brother must really miss the Americans!"

Chapter 85 America has its own national circumstances, so why don't we give it another kick?

Texas is an important energy-producing region in the United States.

It is precisely because of this extraordinary resource advantage that this state has always been somewhat rebellious.

Whenever something happens to the federal government, it almost always brings up the word "independence".

Previously, this was merely a means to gain benefits.

But the past is the past.

Now, things are getting a little strange.

The intelligence that five mining tycoons in Texas had secretly bribed the severely damaged Second Fleet made Old Zhu sense something unusual.

The Second Fleet—isn't that the fleet that was prepared to come to the aid when East Asia was bullying the United States?

This fleet later retreated to the US coast.

He's been bought off by a Texas tycoon.

Moreover, the Texas tycoon is preparing to restart trade with China in the petrochemical industry!

China's recent momentum is simply too aggressive.

Texas is not prepared to go down the same path as the federal government.

I still need to make money, why would I stick with you to the bitter end?

Give me a break.

Do you, the federal government and the remaining states, have such a large market and production capacity for me?

When Lao Tzu lost power due to heavy snow, other states were just watching and laughing at him.

Holy crap, animal protection workers even arrived at lightning speed to protect the turtle?!

Back when the power went out during the heavy snow, some people actually froze to death!

Therefore, the people of Texas are not fond of the federal government and are greatly disappointed with the United States in recent years.

In addition, there are the substantial profits generated by oil energy.

This federation is better off gone!

With such a foundation, Texas has great potential!

No, there is great potential even in the states along the entire East Coast.

After all, China is an important sales market for them.

Since the United States' defeat in East Asia, trade between the two sides has plummeted for various reasons, and the eastern coastal states of the United States have also been struggling.

At this point, if...

“There’s a lot to be done!”

Inside the Bauhinia Pavilion, Number One gently put down the intelligence report in his hand, his laughter barely perceptible.

But Mr. Zhu, who knows him well, knows that he is very happy now and extremely excited!

"That's right, there's a lot of potential here."

"Although we are not worried about technological threats from other countries with the help of The Wandering Earth universe, other countries can indeed maintain world peace by adopting a strategy of checks and balances on Earth."

Old Zhu looked up at the distant pavilion and murmured softly, "Let's leave this as a great gift from our humanity to Earth and to our fellow human beings, a testament to our goodness."

peace.

For humans, it is truly something that is far beyond their reach.

However, if the countries around the world can achieve a balance of power, at least large-scale hot wars will no longer break out.

"North Korea occupies the peninsula and is balanced by Russia, while Europe and Russia are balanced by each other. If the United States is divided in two, the East Coast will definitely not let Europe off the hook. At that time, the three parties will be involved, and the balance will be firmly locked."

"Go south and use financial means to drain India's industry..."

Number One calmly poured himself a cup of tea, his tone indifferent.

At that time, China will be completely outside the vortex and can rest easy!

Seeing that there was a tendency for trouble to break out along the western coast of the United States, the First simply postponed the scenario.

The result, however, was gratifying.

"Hehe, it seems we need to give the West Coast a push."

Old Zhu understood what Number One meant, smiled faintly, and put his arm around her arm, saying:

"Leave this matter to me. I will immediately notify the Ministry of Commerce and put on a show for them."

"Yes, Mr. Zhu, I'm at ease leaving it in your care, but you should also take care of your health."

"Alright, this old man has no regrets if I can see the US go down to join our big brother in my lifetime. Hahaha, off I go!"

Thinking of something happy, Old Zhu looked up at the sky and laughed heartily before stepping out the door.

……

In early June, the Chinese Minister of Commerce called the U.S. Minister of Commerce.

The conversation conveyed China's goodwill.

The U.S. Commerce Secretary also responded politely and expressed his intention to cooperate.

However, saying one thing and doing another is an old American tradition.

That's what the US Commerce Secretary said.

But he can't get things done!

Less than an hour after the two sides spoke, the US pharmaceutical conglomerate announced that it would stop selling various patented special effects drugs to China.

This is clearly a coordinated effort by major capitalists on the East Coast to pressure the government against the major Eastern power.

After all, even though you are strong now, you can't really ignore all international order.

If you don't back down, I won't sell you the medicine!

In the past, if this had happened, the major Eastern power would have either softened its stance or at least tried to ease the other party's emotions.

But now, the situation is completely different.

China's gesture of goodwill, indicating a willingness to cooperate, is actually a ruse!

Some red states in the Midwest and East Coast are predominantly white and primarily agricultural, so you don't need to rush. But those new industrial parks on the West Coast, without a market, are doomed to fail!
