Chapter 234 Stop blocking, the Chinese language is exposed

"Finally, I can take a breather."

In the office of the May Meeting, Houston breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a depressed but somewhat relaxed expression.

The past two months have been as difficult as living in hell for him.

The economy completely collapsed, unemployment soared, and violent cases occurred frequently. On several occasions, large-scale group activities broke out on the streets, and even the action departments under the May Party were forced to take to the streets to suppress them.

It can be said that this society is just a little bit away from completely stopping and collapsing.

But fortunately, the knowledge accumulated over decades saved his life and extended the collapse time to more than a month.

Subsequently, the operation in Iraq was also a great success. The rise in oil prices and the overwhelming media propaganda finally stabilized social expectations and stopped the trend of continuing to slide into the abyss.

Of course, the situation is still not optimistic.

Countless factories have shut down and gone bankrupt, social and economic activities have severely slowed down, and prices of daily necessities have generally increased. In some states, there has even been an extreme shortage of supplies in supermarkets.

For the May Meeting, for this country, the bleeding in the arteries has indeed stopped.

But how to promote wound healing and return to a healthy state is the biggest challenge.

Looking at Houston's expression, the assistant on the side also sighed, and then said:

"We have a chance to breathe, but this is only temporary."

"Our opponents have taken advantage of this opportunity and started running wildly to plunder what originally belonged to us. If we don't take countermeasures as soon as possible, it is very likely that we will directly fall into the dilemma of 'slow suffocation'."

"But we don't have the ability."

Houston said in a low voice.

"We have absolutely no way to fight them now."

"Look at their strategies, from finance, to infrastructure, to basic living security, and even arms exports."

"I even suspect that they have been waiting for this day for decades, just waiting to seize the opportunity of our laxity and play all the cards in their hands."

“Everything went so smoothly, it was impeccably smooth.”

"indeed so."

The assistant nodded in agreement and then said:

"But maybe we don't have a chance?"

"What they can do, we can do too."

"Infrastructure can drive their economic development, and it can also drive our economic development."

"How can it be!"

Houston interrupted the assistant mercilessly, then frowned and criticized:

"Are you stupid? Their situation is completely different from ours. There are significant differences in terms of national geographical environment, resource environment and population environment."

"They can build railways, but should we also build railways? They build road transport networks, should we also build road transport networks? They build bridges, but we also want to build bridges. Where can we build them? The Grand Canyon??"

"This is not the same thing at all. Our population is too small. Investing in infrastructure construction is simply not worth the gain. It will not only fail to promote economic development, but will further narrow our survival channels."

After a pause, Houston continued:

"Besides, we don't have that much money."

"It is impossible for the state governments below to agree to such a plan."

Hearing this, the assistant shook his head and replied:

"No, they will definitely agree."

"What's the meaning?"

Houston asked in confusion.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what his assistant was thinking.

Although he is reliable most of the time, under some special circumstances, he always comes up with some strategies that make him jaw-dropping.

It cannot be said that those strategies are completely useless, it can only be said that most of them are paths that have never been imagined.

If you take that route in this country, you are truly risking your own life.

Looking at Houston's suspicious eyes, the assistant did not flinch at all, but looked at him calmly and said at the same time:

"The infrastructure I'm talking about is not infrastructure that completely plagiarizes China's strategy."

"Of course, we can also build bridges and build roads, but like you said, that doesn't make sense."

"All we need is a key point to stimulate the economy, and this key point does not lie with us, but with them."

"Or to put it more bluntly, we should export a value: what they can do, we can do, and we can do better."

"Only in this way can we fundamentally boost national confidence and restore the vitality of the financial market."

"You know that finance is the backbone of our country. If finance fails to recover, then we will really fail to recover."

"Understood."

Houston's eyes lit up.

"So, you're saying that infrastructure is just a cover, and that it's essentially a propaganda operation?"

"That's understandable."

Houston leaned back in his chair. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked:

“Will Congress support this strategy?”

"We are already strapped for funds right now, and I doubt that if we were to do such a, um, billboard-style project, it would be difficult to get their support."

"No, they will definitely support it."

The assistant said firmly.

"Because, it must be part of the strategy."

"In previous speeches, the president has already mentioned the need to boycott Chinese products and build our own basic industry."

"That means we have to start this strategy from the most basic aspects."

"You can submit this proposal and I believe it will be passed soon."

"Understood."

Houston nodded slightly, then he took out a cigarette from the drawer and brought it to his mouth.

The flames flickered and smoke slowly rose.

He frowned and deduced more details in his mind.

This is indeed a good strategy, but where to start specifically and which industry to start with?

It must be both practical and topical enough to cause sufficient discussion in this country and even the world.

Build an airport?

No, the current airports across the United States can no longer be said to be sufficient, but are even a bit redundant, and their economic value is really poor.

Building a bridge? You can’t just blow up the Golden Gate Bridge and rebuild it, right?

Building roads?

Highway projects obviously don't make much sense unless they're railways

High-speed rail?

Houston perked up.

He looked at the map hanging on the wall, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Maybe it’s time to repair the high-speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco

A few days later, by the Hudson River in New York.

Houston stood nervously among the crowd, his eyes fixed on the president who was making preparations in the distance, and his hand had already been placed on the holster on his waist.

In fact, he also knew that the probability of something unexpected happening was very small, but there was no way around it. This speech was so important that even though he had participated in countless similar actions, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

——

After all, not long ago, the president was attacked during a public speech. Although he was not seriously injured, and the person who hit him with a prosthetic limb also received the punishment he deserved, this incident has become a controversial issue.

A stain that will never go away.

Even that brand of prosthetics have been enthusiastically sought after, and many ordinary people with no physical disabilities have rushed to buy them, clamoring to hit the president on the head during his next public speech to show support for the veteran.

Today, there were indeed quite a few people with prosthetic limbs at the scene. The security personnel cleaned up for several rounds before finally driving these people out.

Even if the remaining ones are not all supporters, at least they will not be extremists.
