the world is at stake
Page 160
The next day, before the plenary meeting of the cabinet, Trump hosted a small meeting, mainly by "Harden" to make a simple "guess" about the future direction of the epidemic.
"The spread of the global epidemic is inevitable, and New York has become the actual outbreak area. From the perspective of data analysis, it is a high probability event that the medical system of a big city is broken down by a large number of patients.
Places with a lot of people are extremely dangerous, and there will be major protection loopholes in places such as nursing homes.We must prepare for this. "
The judgment of 'Harden' was recognized by the cabinet.
But... "We are likely to face the situation of closing the country and even closing the city, otherwise the epidemic will be difficult to control."
When 'Harden' mentioned the means of 'lockdown', the cabinet collectively opposed it.
His Excellency the President reacted particularly violently.The fat old man with golden hair stood up, waved his hands and shouted: "No, no, no, we will never block any city. No country can do this."
"I knew you'd say no," thought 'Harden'.
How about an old saying?When you want to open a window in the house, other people may not agree.But if you say you want to lift the roof, they may allow you to open the window.
'Harden' spent about 5 minutes arguing about the need for 'The Division', but no one in the cabinet agreed.The louder his voice, the louder the opposition.
When 'Harden' finally stated that his views might indeed be too radical, everyone who confronted him, including Trump, felt a sense of victory in their hearts, as if they had achieved some major achievement.
Oops...it's not easy!
Known for his toughness, "Harden" sometimes admits to giving in - in fact, everyone in the cabinet is really not sure about persuading "Harden".They were afraid that the bureau chief would not work, and they were even more afraid that he would leave.
"Since the city is not closed, there is only another conservative approach, which is to raise a batch of anti-epidemic materials as soon as possible.
These include masks to block the spread of the virus, protective clothing for medical staff, ventilators and 'artificial lungs' to treat seriously ill patients.Body bags and cemeteries will be overwhelmed, and crematoria will be overwhelmed. "
'Harden' said with a particularly emphatic tone, "The epidemic will break out completely in two to three months, and these anti-epidemic materials will be in short supply in an instant. We must prepare early."
The word 'shortage of supplies' is already a reminder of a showdown.
Trump is very sensitive about this.The eldest son-in-law Kushner, who is a special adviser to the White House, seemed to be a shark smelling blood, and his eyes were shining.
"Since the epidemic may be extremely serious, we should uniformly deploy anti-epidemic materials across the United States." Kushner put forward his own opinions.
In the Oval Office, 'Harden' raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Kushner smiling at him, as if seeking his support.
'Harden' thought silently, "I knew you, a Jewish vampire, would jump out. Not only did you carry out the 'unified allocation', but you also prohibited states from buying separately, and finally came up with the 'auction auction' sales method."
No wonder these Jews are hated by the whole world.Speculative behavior is too hated.
But 'Harden' was okay, he didn't object.
Red flowers need green leaves to set off.Without Kushner's greed, how can it appear that Lord 'Harden' is noble?
"I need to focus on one piece of equipment, the ECMO 'artificial lung'. This medical equipment is expensive, and the output is very low. The key components can only be produced by 3M's subsidiaries.
I hope that the White House will give me authorization to allow the FBI to take over the production of certain critical medical supplies in an emergency in order to increase production capacity. "
'Harden' set his own terms.
On the sofa in the office, several cabinet bosses turned their eyes back and forth, and no one spoke easily, as if seeking a compromise between themselves.
Before Tillerson left, Bannon had already been kicked out of the White House by Trump.
Among the main figures in the cabinet, Ross and his group who are engaged in a trade war are regarded as the same faction, and those with military background such as Flynn and Mattis are another group.
Pompeo has not yet served as Secretary of State, and he is not even eligible to participate in White House meetings.
If 'Harden' is excluded, the military group is no match for Ross and others.Flynn is an idiot who can't even do an ass job.It is estimated that Trump will soon replace him.
But when 'Harden' comes forward, Ross and other economic and trade factions will not easily speak indiscriminately.He is backed by Trump and controls the FBI, which is tantamount to pinching everyone's throat.No one can figure out the tricks of this fierce god.
Trump also realized that the atmosphere of this meeting was weird.The military faction and the economic and trade faction seem to be negotiating on the ground to cut off their interests, and they still do it in front of him.
Do you still take my president seriously?
"Harden's opinion is very good. But I think it needs to be considered more deeply." Trump found an excuse to announce the adjournment, and he wanted to regain control of the situation.
When the door of the Oval Office opened, several important ministers left one after another.Commerce Secretary Ross chatted with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin in a low voice, then turned around and left shoulder to shoulder with Kushner.
Not long after, 'Security Advisor' Flynn also leaned over and joined the conversation.
"What exactly does Harden want to do?" Rose was extremely puzzled by the proposal of 'The Division'.He is the Minister of Commerce. If this is completely blocked, he will still be doing business.
Flynn came here on behalf of the military to reveal his tone, just one sentence, "The military supports Harden's opinion."
Hey... This means that Harden had already made preparations before he came. He must have used professional means to deduce the direction of the epidemic's development and strive to maximize benefits.
Rose knew that if he didn't make some concessions, 'Harden' would definitely not make himself feel better.He asked, "What's the opinion of the military?"
"The epidemic will definitely have a severe impact on the global economy. We happen to have a soldier retirement fund for financial management in the stock market..."
I get it, the stock market must have plummeted.Rose knew what was going on as if he had solved the case.He continued to ask, "What are your plans?"
"Harden controls a 'Holy Light' group, which has a 'Holy Light Fund'. He asked me to convey a sentence, hoping that the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance will relax some supervision on the capital flow of 'Holy Light'."
Deregulation is all about making money.Rose's eyes immediately turned to Kushner. The 'son-in-law' had no expression on his face, and he just asked: "Hadn't Harden been prepared for a long time?"
For many things, being prepared is completely different from not being prepared.
'Harden' was prepared, and caught Rose and others who were unprepared by surprise.
Flynn was noncommittal.
Kushner and others saw the opportunity and also pursued the maximization of benefits.After deliberating in his mind, the 'son-in-law' said a solution in line with Jewish egoism.
"Does Your Excellency Harden have any specific plans? Maybe we can have a good discussion. The Ministry of Finance also has a lot of funds looking for suitable projects. For example, pension funds with several trillion dollars can only buy government bonds, which is too low."
For an enemy that cannot be defeated, the Jewish practice has traditionally been to join the other party.
This startled Flynn, but he nodded and said he would talk to 'Harden' - a consultant who had been reduced to being a deputy to a deputy.
Flynn left, and Kushner went back to Ivanka.Not long after, Ivanka went to find her father again—in the White House, only Ivanka could persuade Trump, and no one else could.
Kushner asked his wife to chat with his father-in-law, hoping to put pressure on Harden to cooperate with him.But seeing her father, Ivanka had her own ideas.
"Father, it's time for you to promote Harden. Either make him Secretary of State, or make him National Security Advisor and FBI Director."
Behind the president's desk, the fat old man with golden hair frowned, looking sad like a sick lion king.
Chapter 85 The feast begins
Trump's cabinet has been surprisingly slow to respond to 'Harden' warnings.It took them a day to determine if they were safe, and then another five days for internal discussions.
After many rounds of bargaining, the coping strategies given had nothing to do with epidemic prevention.
After Tillerson was fired, Trump chose Pompeo, the director of the CIA, as Secretary of State. 'Fat Peng' has finally taken a big step into the top echelon of American power.
For this appointment, Trump did not discuss with 'Harden'.Instead, Flynn resigned and stepped down. 'Harden' has been named the new National Security Advisor and concurrently serves as FBI Director.
The 'National Security Advisor' is the right-hand man of the president and an important member of the cabinet who is only loyal to the president. "Harden" is equivalent to being promoted from the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, to the eunuch of palm printing, and he supervises the East Factory and supervises all officials.
This appointment was once protested by members of Congress, because "Harden" Mr. Ha is comparable to Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian combined. He has overthrown many noble MPs and cleaned up the local powerhouse Bloomberg.
Who is not afraid of him?
Pompeo is tantamount to retiring from the position of Commander of Jinyiwei and promoted to Wenyuange University Bachelor, becoming the highest bureaucrat in the government. At the same time, he also intends to check and balance with 'Harden'.
Poor Wang Wang stayed in the White House and thought hard, but he acted like Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty.He intends to reorganize the country, but he faces many difficulties and is unable to recover.
The bureaucrats at the bottom form cliques for self-interest, strife or infighting, scrambling for profit distribution, and dilly-dallying in the country's major affairs, and it seems that they are going to decline.
It took five days to make such a personnel appointment, but didn't mention a word about epidemic prevention.Trump only puts Health Secretary Azar in charge, and his focus is still on partisanship and fulfilling his campaign promises.
As for Azar, he is not well-known, he is a member of Vice President Pence.His biggest deed is that during his tenure in major pharmaceutical companies in the United States, he has greatly increased the price of drugs used by the American people.
For example, the price of insulin has risen by six times, pharmaceutical companies have made a lot of money, and diabetic patients are miserable.
'Harden' got a promotion and got completely pissed off.He is like Deng Chao who went to call the police in the movie "Mermaid". He was obviously serious about discussing the epidemic, but it became a joke.
A group of pig teammates didn't take it seriously at all.
But the United States did not take it seriously, but China issued entry restrictions to the world in July, saying that all entry personnel must undergo a 'coronavirus' test from now on-at their own expense.
The genetic sequencing of the virus has been completed and provided to the WHO, and rapid detection reagents have also been released.Nasal swabs are required upon entry, but 14-day quarantine is not required for the time being.
It is estimated that Zhou Qingfeng mentioned words such as 'US military, biochemical, virus' in the intelligence sent back, which made the elders in the country so nervous.Otherwise, it is necessary to wait for the medical system in a certain area to be broken down before it will be taken seriously.
Otherwise, just like the H09N1 virus outbreak in the United States in 1, a wave of deaths occurred around the world, and everyone dared not even fart.
As soon as this policy came out, the Western media was full of criticism, thinking that it was an autocratic manifestation of a dictatorship and a serious violation of human rights.Domestic well-known lackeys scolded Feiqi, thinking it was a big deal.
The powerful United States doesn't take it seriously, so why is China so strict?
The US Secretary of Health has come out to speak, isn't it just a flu?What's there to be afraid of?
You should apologize, you should apologize, and you should sincerely say 'I'm sorry to trouble you' to your Western friends.
Zhou Qingfeng watched the fire from the other side in the United States, desperately sending anti-epidemic supplies from China to Europe and the United States.He reached a tacit agreement with Ross that the US Department of Commerce would not care about the money from the "Holy Light Fund" going to Europe and then to China.
So 'Shengguang Fund' opened a bunch of offshore foreign trade companies to engage in import and export, and to engage in procurement and logistics transportation between China, the United States, Japan and South Korea.There is also a lot of private goods mixed in.
Among them, Uncle Zhou's principal is only more than one billion US dollars, and the remaining hundreds of billions are the military's retirement fund and the Ministry of Finance's pension.We all see 'business opportunities'.
"According to the data model constructed by FBI professionals and the infection data collected by major hospitals collected by the Ministry of Health, we can accurately calculate the time point when the medical system of different cities in different countries was broken down by a large number of patients."
The Trump cabinet did not give clear instructions on epidemic prevention, but the cabinet members are already ready to set the table for the upcoming gluttonous feast.
The film screening hall in the West Wing of the White House was vacated, and Sun Luoji, the number one horseman under 'Harden', explained to various big shots in front of the big projection screen.
This is a simple explanation, just to unify the thinking and tell all parties involved, what will the "Holy Light Fund" do?It's also good for the bosses to feel at ease.
But this explanation became a kind of ritual gathering after the scheduled time.
It is hard to find one in the auditorium, and one must be invited to enter.People who come in have to bring at least one billion dollars.But soon the bigwigs discovered that the threshold for 'billion' was too low and there were not enough seats in the screening hall.
The threshold was raised to 30 billion US dollars, and more than 50 American dignitaries and dignitaries were accommodated only by placing small benches in the aisle of the projection hall.
The news of the epidemic cannot be hidden from people.By the end of June, the U.S. Department of Health will also submit an urgent report to the White House and Congress, and those who are qualified to know should also know.
Quarrels in Congress are quarrels, but when it comes to making money, you still have to participate.
Sun Luoji in front of the screen was quite disturbed, because he saw a large number of top meat eaters in the United States.
At the front of the projection hall are four VIP seats with armrests and footstools, and the participants in the back row can see the big shots at the front with a little probe.
But Wang didn't come, neither did 'Harden'.
The 'son-in-law' Kushner took one of the chairs, and Mnuchin sent an affairs officer from the Treasury Department, and Flynn, who had just resigned from the position of 'National Security Advisor', took one of the chairs.
There was also a person whose face was unfamiliar, and the people in the back row asked each other, only to realize that the Democratic Party had also sent people, and they had to squeeze in to get a share of the pie.
"Why didn't Harden come?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"The Asians who told us the PPT on stage are Harden's subordinates."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Rocky Sun on the stage continued: "According to our forecast, an outbreak will occur in New York at the end of this month. The emergency departments and ICUs of all public hospitals will be overcrowded. The consumption of medical supplies will increase extremely."
Speaking of this, Sun Luoji himself felt very fucked.He has experienced the New York epidemic in 2020, and now he will experience the 2018 epidemic again.
The thing happened again, and 'Harden' also gave an early warning, but the situation didn't get any better, but got worse-the powerful and powerful didn't have the slightest idea of controlling the outbreak, but instead prepared and waited for it to come.
Hundreds of millions of people around the world will be diagnosed in just one year, which is a huge consumption of medical supplies in the eyes of the powerful.The government's war-ready stocks cannot cope with this demand, which will inevitably cause shortages and price increases.
Someone in the screening hall raised his hand and asked, "How much money has the 'Holy Light Fund' raised so far?"
"More than 800 billion U.S. dollars." Sun Rocky replied.
"Is it enough?" Someone asked again: "If it is really a global epidemic, $800 billion is not much."
800 billion is not enough?
Sun Luoji cursed in his heart: "They are all greedy bastards, 800 billion is not enough? I haven't even dealt with 100 billion in the past."
But speaking out, "According to our estimates, the epidemic will last at least one year. Just shorting the global stock market is more than 800 billion U.S. dollars, so 'Holy Light' has carried out asset allocation and added some leverage."
Hearing the word 'leverage', someone immediately shouted excitedly: "Do you still need capital allocation? I know a lot of friends on Wall Street."
It was only this remark that caused a burst of laughter, and the person who spoke realized that the Jew Kushner was sitting in the front row—the vampire group had already sent a representative, and it was no one else's turn to make the money.
Sun Luoji continued, "There is a prerequisite for making this money, and the smooth flow of global logistics must be maintained, especially the connection with China's freight shipping."
"Why?" Someone asked again: "Isn't Your Excellency putting extreme pressure on China? There are already 600 billion US dollars of goods that will be taxed."
"Yes." Sun Luoji admitted: "The trade war will not stop, but the anti-epidemic materials will have a zero tax rate. Because only China has enough production capacity to provide enough goods."
"Can't produce in the United States? It can increase employment."
"Don't even think about it unless you want to die."
This idea caused a burst of laughter again. Anyone with a brain understands that no one can make money by producing ordinary anti-epidemic materials at the labor cost of the United States.
"I have a question." Among the four people in the front row, the representative sent by the Democratic consortium raised his hand, "I have read the prospectus of the 'Holy Light Fund' in detail. Your Excellency Harden does not seem to be seeking any special interests."
