Chapter 431
The new situation is not good.
As soon as the speaker of the meeting, Louis, finished his words, the hawkish congressmen on the scene were in an uproar!
Everyone’s face showed a look of horror!
Longguo can be the first to master the hydrogen-oxygen water engine, a new high-tech power.
For the United States, it is simply an unimaginable disaster!
By then, the large amount of oil resources stored in the United States will usher in a crazy depreciation.
Over the years, in order to plunder the oil resources of weak countries, they have not hesitated to bear the infamy of aggression.
In order to tie oil to the US dollar, the results of decades of careful layout around the world.
All will become a bubble that is about to break with the advent of the hydrogen-oxygen water engine!
This time, Longguo will not cut off their oil economy in half.
Instead… cut it off below the eyebrows!
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”
“Damn Dragon Country!”
“How dare they develop such a devil!”
“Do they want to start a war? Do they want to start a war?”
A congressman in his forties or fifties with blond hair began to roar with extreme anger.
In the quiet and solemn Capitol.
The hysterical roar of Orn Frank resounded.
Their Frank family is one of the most influential chaebols in the United States.
By constantly controlling financial institutions, a huge financial network has been formed in the United States.
But the core of the Frank family’s interests still relies on the monopoly of oil.
All oil businesses in Arkansas are currently monopolized by the Frank family.
This also brought a huge amount of wealth and political capital to the Frank family.
And this time, when Dragon Country sold a large amount of oil.
Their Frank family also took the opportunity to buy a large amount of oil.
If Dragon Country takes out the hydrogen-oxygen water engine and sets off an oil revolution.
The oil hoarded by the Frank family will face crazy depreciation and a sharp decline in wealth.
The family’s strength and political status will also face an unprecedented blow!
This is something that Orn Frank, as a congressman, cannot tolerate!
“Mr. Frank!”
“This is the Capitol, not a noisy bar on the street!”
“Although I understand your anger, please control your emotions!”
“Anger and cursing can’t solve any problems!”
Looking at Frank who slammed the table and clamored wildly to go to war with Dragon Country.
Louis, who was sitting in the upper position, warned with a dark face and a cold voice.
Although Louis was extremely frightened and angry after figuring out the real plot of Dragon Country.
But as the conservative speaker, Louis must keep the calmest mind at this critical moment.
As he said just now, anger can’t solve any problems.
After being scolded, Frank’s face turned pale.
But in the end, he still suppressed his anger and sat down.
Although Frank is a member of the “Progressive Faction”.
He has an inherent political disagreement with Louis, the “Conservative” speaker.
But Frank understands that the Louis family also hoards a lot of oil.
In public and private, they are on the same front.
Just then!
A burly congressman in a sophisticated suit stood up.
He is the spokesperson of the Suston family: Green Suster.
As one of the chaebol families in the United States, the Suster family rose in the Second Blue Star War.
Currently, it controls 5.6% of the oil business and 6.3% of the arms business in the United States.
Green Suster is a member of the “Progressive Faction” in the Capitol.
He is also one of the decision-makers in the ruling class of the United States who can influence decision-making.
Green Sast’s hawk-like eyes flashed with a sharp light like a wolf:
“Gentlemen!”
“If Longguo really mastered that damn technology and applied it to the civilian market and military field.”
“That would be an economic disaster for our country and for all the families present.”
“It would be an economic disaster, even a catastrophe!”
“No matter what, we must stop Longguo from bringing this technology to the market!”
As soon as Green Sast finished speaking.
Orn Frank immediately raised his hand in agreement.
“I agree very much with Mr. Frank’s point of view.”
“This technology that will bring disaster to our country must be killed!”
Then, the congressmen on the scene expressed their support.
The conservative and progressive congressmen.
This time, they all put down
The two countries have rarely stood on the same front despite their different political views.
After Longguo secretly developed the hydrogen-oxygen water engine, it sold a large amount of oil.
Its purpose is obvious, which is to hunt down the oil economy of the United States!
This is absolutely intolerable for the members of the United States!
Even if some members of the United States do not have oil business in their families.
But they are operating automobiles, ships, international shipping… and other industries closely related to oil.
If Longguo’s car companies and shipyards are equipped with hydrogen-oxygen water engines.
That will be a fatal blow to Chevrolet, Ford, Cadillac, Buick, JEEP… these traditional fuel car companies in the United States!
Like cargo ships, cruise ships, fishing boats, passenger ships, engineering ships… these traditional machines that continue to use fuel will also face a catastrophe!
All industries related to oil will face a dimensionality reduction attack from Longguo!
For example:
A cargo ship that can carry 24,000 containers.
From Los Angeles, the United States, to the Dragon Kingdom’s Magic City Port.
For a 14-day voyage, the total fuel consumption is about 3,000 tons.
And the price of one ton of heavy oil is about 3,600 Dragon Yuan.
So the one-way fuel cost is about 11 million Dragon Yuan.
And if the Dragon Kingdom’s cargo ship is equipped with a hydrogen-oxygen water engine.
Just add a large water pump, it can sail indefinitely at sea.
During transportation, not only can huge fuel costs be saved.
It saves space in the fuel tank and can load more cargo.
Cargo ships, passenger ships, cruise ships, ocean-going fishing boats using hydrogen-oxygen water engines… have too many advantages!
Moreover, after these years of layout.
Oil has been closely tied to the US dollar.
The collapse of the oil economy will inevitably lead to a sharp depreciation of the US dollar.
The assets of all members of parliament’s families will shrink significantly.
If there is no big cake of oil, it will be divided up by many chaebol families.
The wealthy families in the United States will definitely shift their focus to other industries such as finance, steel, jewelry, medicine, real estate, retail, etc.
At that time, the major families in the United States will be caught in unprecedented competition and internal competition!
No one present here can escape this avalanche!
The only difference is the degree and order of the heavy damage suffered.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the chain reaction caused by the collapse of the oil economy!
