Chapter 2576 Technology World

What Kapp said caused an uproar. He shorted the federal government to increase his personal wealth. He is definitely a traitor!

Whether the lawmakers had previously agreed or opposed his speech, they were all confused now.

The Federation is so powerful, whoever does this would be seeking death, right?

The Speaker frowned and said, "Mr. Kopp, don't talk nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"

Kopp smiled and said, "Dear Mr. Speaker, no one knows what evidence is better than me. I have handed the evidence to Mr. Greens."

Greens nodded at the right time and said, "Yes, I have obtained the relevant evidence and verified its reliability."

After that, he winked at his assistant.

The assistant immediately took out the USB drive from her bag, inserted it into the laptop, and played the stored recording.

The huge conference hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, as everyone listened to the conversation that Wang Kecheng secretly recorded as he and George conspired on how to short the Federation.

In the recording, Wang Kecheng's voice was blurred. After all, it didn't matter who was conspiring with George. What mattered was that George, the financial giant, was thinking of biting the Federation and performing a death roll.

When the recording finished playing, the entire venue fell into a terrible silence.

Being able to become a member of parliament means that they are true social elites. They may not have conscience, but they definitely have brains.

What's more, in the recording, Wang Kecheng and George have clearly sorted out the entire short-selling process. With a little analysis, you can tell that this is a feasible plan.

Many congressmen broke out in cold sweats.

If the Federation really puts pressure on China, leading to a counterattack from the East, George and his men make another move, and the market is shaken, George's conspiracy will succeed, and the Federation will face a huge disaster that has not been seen in a century, and may even lose its position as the world hegemon.

This is not an invasion by external enemies, but an internal self-destruction.

Seeing everyone so frightened, Kepp was very pleased. He pouted and said, "Now you know who is more stupid! The economic problems in the East are not fat meat for us, but bait and poison."

Some people remained silent, while others nodded slowly. Indeed, to fight against foreign aggressors, one must first stabilize the internal situation. When the Federation was facing a crisis, taking risks to reap the wealth of other countries was undoubtedly like sailing in the wind and waves. It was too dangerous and unnecessary.

A member of parliament asked: "Mr. Kopp, where did you get your evidence? Is it forged?"

Kepp snorted coldly and didn't bother to answer.

Greens said: "Please rest assured, I have verified the recording provided by Mr. Kopp, and have also notified the FBI to formally control George and his Atomic Fund."

Another congressman said: "Since George has been controlled, it means that our internal crisis has been resolved. So why can't we continue to reap the wealth of the East? We obviously have no worries anymore."

Kopp sneered, "You idiot, do you think George represents all the crises? You are wrong, he is just a gangster who took advantage of the situation. In addition to George, there are many other evildoers who have not surfaced. As long as you have trade frictions with the East, they will pick up knives and stab you in the ass!"

As soon as the questioning congressman finished speaking, he fell silent.

Who can guarantee that there is no other traitor besides George?

George is definitely not the only wealthy person in the Federation who started out in finance and has the means to short sell.

Greens said: "I agree with Mr. Kopp's statement, and as a speaker of the Federal Reserve, I suggest that all members of Congress stop insisting on exerting pressure on the East. At the same time, the Federal Reserve will do its utmost to quell the crisis facing the federal government. I hope that all radical policies will be discussed after the dust settles."

Greens' words were very convincing, and many people nodded. After all, no matter how brave a sailor is, he must put his own safety first.

Just as Greens was about to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the future policy direction, Kopp spoke again, "Gentlemen, I have one more thing I need to remind you of. That is, the Oriental entrepreneur Chen Fei, who is currently being negotiated, has been arrested by the federal government."

The congressmen were confused. Who was arrested by the federal government? Chen Fei?

The Speaker said: "I know about this matter. The Federation and the East have each sent delegations to negotiate. What does this have to do with the economy?"

Kopp said: "As far as I know, some people want to use Chen Fei's arrest as a fuse to intensify the conflict between the East and the West. Now we no longer need this fuse. Chen Fei's existence will instead destroy the friendship between the East and the West, causing an extreme reaction in the East and affecting our overall environment."

The logic is very clear.

The Federation is facing a huge crisis and should not take the initiative to become an enemy of the East, let alone allow the East to seize an excuse to attack it.

Many members of parliament were whispering, asking what was going on with Chen Fei.

Many lawmakers also expressed opposition to Kopp's attitude.

A member of parliament said: "The arrest of Chen Fei has gone through two rounds of negotiations. In the third round of negotiations, we have an absolute advantage. There is nothing to discuss. Moreover, their negotiations are broadcast live around the world. If we agree to release Chen Fei at this time, it would be like bowing our heads to the East and admitting defeat in front of the whole world. This is absolutely unacceptable."

Kopp raised a finger and waved it, saying, "No, no, this is not admitting defeat. Instead, it is a way to demonstrate the Federation's dominance. Because Chen Fei has not committed any crime, our arrest of him does not conform to the Federation's moral standards. Now many knowledgeable people have expressed disappointment with the Federation because of this. For example, the newly rich people in the technology circle have told me that the accusations against Chen Fei are all fabricated. This is not good, very bad!"

Chen Fei is also an entrepreneur in the science and technology field and a big shot in the federal science and technology field. It is normal for him to speak up for him.

Kepp called his assistant and handed him a document. He opened it and said, "Take a look. This is the joint signature of more than a dozen leading figures in the federal science and technology community. They call on the federal government to rule the country according to law. Only in this way can the federation consolidate its position as a hegemon."

"If the Supreme Council does not respond to the calls from the technology community, they are likely to publish these documents on the Internet, which will have a negative impact on the Federation on a global scale."

"Mr. Speaker, please take a look at this material first, and then decide whether to distribute it to the members."

Kup personally handed the joint signature to the Speaker.

The Speaker flipped through the materials and looked at the world-famous names on them. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He knew too well the power of these people.

Their wealth and influence are both at the international level. Who would have thought that simply arresting Chen Fei would cause their resentment?
