Chapter 1781 Try Your Best, but It’s Not Enough
"I can't intervene in the US Congress, and they don't like outsiders interfering. They are very wary of outsiders. I can only guarantee that when some things come to the EU meeting, some really unfounded things, I can hold them up, but only hold them up."
The first person to speak was William, who had been silent all the time. He said this sentence obviously to maintain the stability of the current alliance.
After all, so many people present have divided the cake into many pieces, and he originally disliked that the cake in his hand was not big. In attracting new allies, his cake will only be smaller.
As for joining a certain consortium in the United States, I'm sorry, the royal family itself is a large inherited consortium, and he doesn't need to join any consortium at all. He himself is a consortium.
The fundamental reason why he can join this alliance is one of interest-making money!
The second is still interest! To contain the US consortium and reduce some pressure on England where the royal family is.
In recent years, as the United States has become more and more domineering in the international community, the face of Britain, an ally they relied on in the past, has become more and more wrong in recent years. That's why William joined the alliance to make a detour. This was his idea, and it was also the idea of the royal family.
As a result, after a long detour, he directly joined the American consortium. What a detour. Although the sun never sets now seems to be setting, the royal family is still a lean camel bigger than a horse.
If the news of wanting to find someone to cooperate is released, the consortiums all over the world will be moved. How could they take the initiative to flatter the Americans?
"The Spencer family also has some connections at the European Conference. It's not a big problem to assist William in passing some unreliable topics, and it's not impossible to veto them." Dean also said.
Like William, he looked down on their former allies more and more as the United States became more and more independent. They were okay doing some business in the United States, but they were embarrassed to interfere in Congress.
The methods used by the American consortiums to deal with them were tougher and more resolute than those used to deal with polar bear spies.
After William and Dean expressed their opinions, the three of them, together with Yang Dongxu, looked at Jack, Picken and others.
They are all outsiders to the United States, while Jack, Picken and Kennedy-Ebel are all American people. Especially Jack and Ebel, one has the American consortium behind him, and the other has the American consortium + political family behind him.
"I can only say that I will try my best. Although I got some seats in Congress from the Lehman consortium this time, the power of my consortium is still weak and cannot influence whether a resolution can be passed or not.
Not to mention me, even the Morgan consortium can't do it. The water in Congress is deep, and many forces are involved. Even small forces like Picken and others are a strong force.
All I can guarantee is that when Morgan proposes an unreliable bill, I will try my best to unite with others to stop it. After all, Morgan's bill is against you, and my interests will also be affected. You can rest assured about this."
"All I can do here is to try my best." Ebel also said.
"I am the same." Charles and others also expressed their opinions.
Yang Dongxu frowned, and William and Dean's faces were not very good. Obviously, what they want is not to try their best, but the result of whether they can or cannot. After trying their best, they still can't prevent some bills that are harmful to them from taking effect. What's the point of trying your best?
However, although they frowned, they couldn't get angry. Because Jack and his friends were not shirking responsibility, they were telling the truth.
There are more than ten well-known American consortiums, not to mention those small consortiums, and those who are only half a step away from the small consortiums, as well as Charles and others.
Therefore, the composition of the US Congress is quite complicated and there are many factions. For example, Charles is not a small consortium, and even has a distance from the consortium, but it is normal for him to influence the votes of one or two members.
People like Charles can influence one or two members, and small consortiums have five or six. It is normal to spend money before the vote to get more than ten votes in the Senate.
Then add the declining consortiums like California behind Jack and the semi-declining political families like Kennedy behind Abel.
These people together control more than one-third of the voting rights in Congress, but less than half, and they are very scattered and difficult to gather.
The big financial groups control about 60% of the seats in Congress. Of course, they control 60%, which does not mean that they must vote with 60%. There are many people who follow the trend.
For example, the Morgan Financial Group puts forward an issue, which does not have a great impact on other financial groups, so everyone votes by default, and this issue is likely to pass with a high vote of 99%.
Then one day the DuPont Financial Group will come up with an issue. I, DuPont, voted in favor of you, Morgan, to give you face. Will you, Morgan, give me face this time?
As long as this issue does not have a great impact on Morgan, he will naturally vote in favor, and then the DuPont Financial Group's issue will pass with a high vote.
Then the Mellon Financial Group puts forward an issue. I gave face to the two brothers before. Are the two brothers
In short, there are more than 100 members of the US Congress, and the big financial groups seem to account for 60%, and the other 40% are very manipulative. But as long as they cooperate tacitly, any issue will be passed with a crushing vote.
The remaining less than 40% of the quota is distributed to other forces to demonstrate their democratic side, while also giving these people a channel to speak out as a consolation prize, to comfort them so that they don't make too much trouble at every turn.
As for whether the voices raised are heard and whether they will be adopted, I will think about it.
This metaphor may be different from the approximate proportion of the number of members, but the gameplay is just like this. In short, the democracy that should be there does give seats to members.
As for who is in charge of Congress, it is still the result of the discussion of the leading consortiums behind closed doors.
So what Xiao Jack and others said seems to be shirking responsibility, but it is the implementation situation.
If it is just the issue raised by the Morgan Consortium, no one has spoken for Yang Dongxu before, but now he can unite the Kennedy family and Charles and others to speak for him.
In this way, the issues that were previously passed by other consortiums will be affected, and if he can win the consent of other consortiums and get some votes to follow the crowd, he can prevent the issue proposed by Morgan from taking effect.
But if other consortiums stand on Morgan's side, he will not be able to stop this matter, after all, it is purely from the perspective of congressional control.
The California Consortium is now ranked seventh, and its influence is not as great as that of the half-crippled Boston Consortium.
After all, even if Boston is half crippled, they still have President Kennedy abroad. Their California consortium does not have such good political resources.
However, the Boston consortium where the Kennedy family is located is not much better than him, and its control over Congress is only about the sixth place.
So how can the seventh and sixth consortiums beat the top five consortiums!
Even the top five consortiums have joined forces, calling on a few other people, and they can completely give the two families a bloody education. In this case, what else can he say except trying his best?
It sounds good to fire blanks, but it is useless. Everyone present is a wise man, and everyone knows who knows who!
"Just trying your best is not enough!" Yang Dongxu pinched his eyebrows.
The Morgan Consortium submitted the issues to Congress. Everything against him is a knife. If you can't block it, you have to take a knife. And he may be able to take three knives without dying, but he may also be killed by the other party with one knife.
So he didn't dare to let the other party stab him even once! Who knows if this knife will become a fatal one after a series of magical operations.
