Vol 3 Chapter 7172: Former President's Advice

WHY?

Why has it all become no longer strong?

"The original federal government's suppression of the state governments has gradually become firmer, especially after the Civil War, all states have realized that they cannot secede from the Union. Although there may be independent rumors in some states, most of them are just rumors." Clinton Say.

Afterwards, Clinton pointed to Lin Feng.

"But now, the appearance of you, boss, has made the situation a bit out of control!" Clinton said in a deep voice, "If the California referendum cannot be stopped, then the United States will face division!"

A term emerged in Lin Feng's mind: Pandora's Box.

"Once the California referendum cannot be stopped, then bear the brunt, and there is another state that will definitely take the opportunity to demand a referendum, and that is Texas!" Clinton looked solemn.

Texas, this is also a weird state.

Texas was originally part of Mexico, but then the Mexican government banned the existence of slavery, and the slave owners were dissatisfied. Therefore, Texas officially declared its independence on March 2, 1836, and established Texa. Republic of Slovakia. The United States recognizes the Republic of Texas, Mexico does not recognize the independence of Texas, and declares that it will reintegrate Texas into its territory, but Texas maintains its independent position and emphasizes that the Rio Grande is its border. Later, Britain tried to mediate the dispute but failed because Mexico refused to recognize Texas.

In the face of Mexico's heavy forces and the irresistible Republic of Texas, it has no choice but to join the US federal government.

In 1845, after receiving a promise from the US government, Texas joined the United States and became the 28th state in the United States.

Because of these historical reasons, Texas has a sturdy folk style, and Texas cowboys are famous all over the world. It is also the state with the most guns in the United States and is the most opposed to gun bans.

"Texas has the second largest economy in the United States, accounting for 9% of the total economic output of the United States, second only to California. At the same time, agriculture is developed. If California occupies most of the agricultural products in the United States, Texas will make up the remaining agricultural products. Opening these two states together, the entire United States can hardly produce any agricultural products." Clinton lamented.

"And there is another more important thing, that is, California does not produce military industry, which is excluded by California, but Texas occupies more than 70% of the military industry in the United States, and its energy resources also occupy a third of the United States. One or so, and the medical system is the best in the United States." Clinton said, "If Texas also announces an independent referendum, it will be really troublesome!" Clinton looked worried.

At this moment, Abby Cohen looked at the computer in his hand.

"Just the latest news, the Texas state government also announced again that because joining the United States was involuntarily coerced by the outside world, in order to restore independent speech and independent judicial power, Texas will also hold a referendum!" Abby Cohen is also A worried look.

Immediately, Abby Cohen turned the computer around, and everyone saw the Wall Street trend chart.

All stocks, except for a very small number, of course, the stocks of the Lin Feng family, fell across the board.

If California and Texas both go out independently, it will have too much impact on the US economy. Although finance can be borderless, it seems that everyone is still together, but if California and Texas both have independent judicial powers and become independent countries, it is hard to say what these two countries will do in the future. They took away almost all of America's agriculture, technological innovation, chemical industry, military industry, and medical industry. This is a serious blow to the US federal government.

Naturally, it will bring heavy losses to the economy of the United States and the world.

"So which other states may hold an independent referendum?" Lin Feng asked.

"Also, that is the state of Hawaii, far from the mainland of the United States, alone overseas, and it is also arguing for independence from time to time! Then, Lakta, a state dominated by Indians, has also been arguing and clamoring for independence." Clinton shrugged "There is also Alaska, the northwestern tip of the North American continent. Because it was once a Russian territory, it was not until 1950 that the United States established a state in Alaska. Because of its barren land, it used to be unpopulated. Until now, With an area of ​​1.7 million square kilometers, there is only a population of less than 720,000."

The area occupied by this person is really big. But it's normal, Alaska, in such an extremely cold place, few people are willing to live in such a cold place. it's too cold!

"Bill, there are so many states in the United States that want to be independent. I have to say that this is really democratic enough!" Lin Feng said with emotion.

"So, sometimes, our federal government occasionally envy your socialist countries. You are an efficient centralized system. It is too easy to achieve one thing. And we want to do one thing, it is too difficult. Even if it is for people's livelihood, such as building a railway, only related reports, such as soil damage, atmospheric damage, river damage along the way, ecological balance damage, etc., will take several years to complete. This wastes a lot of Human and material resources." Clinton shrugged helplessly.

"This kind of democracy is sometimes a drag and a shackle. If you want to build a windy city, you can say that even if you have enough money, it can't be completed in such a short time as you. There are too many things involved in it. Fortunately, you are a Chinese, so there are very few restrictions on you. Otherwise, it will not be built without a few decades!" Clinton sighed.

democracy? ! Lin Feng shook his head.

Of course, there is nothing bad about this kind of democracy. At least, the people will not easily fall under the control of the dictatorship. A dictatorship is also good. But that depends entirely on the dictator's personal knowledge, vision, ambition, and moral constraints.

This constraint is too fragile. To put it simply, the cost of violation is too low, so dictators, such as Li Shimin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although they used to be wise and martial artists, when they are old, they relax themselves and indulge themselves. As a result, there are all kinds of labor, money, and even corruption. A matter of national luck.

"So now, what am I going to do?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, now, no matter what you do or not, what you do, in my opinion, will arouse huge criticism!" Clinton said, "whatever you do, the consequences are unpredictable!"

"This is something that has never happened before. Whether you support the independence of the states or not, you are already in a huge vortex!" Clinton said, "and my advice to you is to follow your own heart. Whatever you think is better, you can do it! This is my suggestion!"

Lin Feng was stunned after hearing this.

"Bill, is this the advice you gave as the former president of the United States!" Abby Cohen rebuked.
