Xiao Zheng wasn't very familiar with this hawkish general, but the New York celebrities present were very familiar. The veteran hawkish general of the US. A typical warmonger. He had a certain level of leadership, but because he often declared his warmongering thoughts in public, he was criticized by the public. It was because of this that he had a close relationship with Justin and other Wall Street bigwigs who controlled the media. It was convenient for him to clear his name.
The US, which preached freedom, was not Hua Xia. There was no suspension of duties for investigation, and when the limelight passed, he could change to another identity and continue to jump.
In the US, once the public opinion was one-sided against you, the voters would lose confidence in you. Stepping down would be the only option. No one could save you.
Moreover, public opinion could usually be controlled by people.
Justin had a number of media companies with huge resources, controlling nearly 20% of the US market. If he wanted to discredit a person and build momentum for public opinion, he could carry out different bombardments. Even if you were a saint, you could be slandered as a slut.
Of course, this was just a special ability of the business tycoon Justin in the capitalist society. The influence he had in New York in the US was not limited to this.
On the other hand, Gandalf, who is just as famous as him, possesses a terrifying power that even politicians are afraid of. What Downey said was not a threat, nor was it a fabrication. Gandalf had a close relationship with both houses of Congress. He also forged a deep friendship with many senators. Its political influence was astounding.
On the contrary. Not to mention a hawkish general, even if the president formed a cabinet and appointed a minister of defense, he also needed the approval of Congress. And the Senate, one of the two houses of Congress, had the power to consider and veto.
The form was equivalent to the Hua Xia people's congress, but it had much more power than the people. It even had the power to impeach the president.
The US had a tripartite government, Congress, and courts. The government and Congress were two extremes, in a state of mutual checks and balances. There were often rumors that the president was controlled by Congress and was vetoed to propose bills. This was not nonsense, but the real situation of the president.
Downey's clamor instantly angered General Statham. His face changed abruptly, and a cold light flashed in his sinister eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Downey, you're too presumptuous!"
If it was any other celebrity, General Statham would have made a move on the spot.
Daring to humiliate a military general? Simply lawless!
However, Donnie had always been known as the Devil's Incarnate, coupled with his terrifying family background. The celebrities present didn't think that there would be any repercussions from Donnie's actions.
Moreover, Justin's attitude seemed to be a little ambiguous. He did not favor Francis because he was General Statham's subordinate.
Just like that, the atmosphere became even weirder. The celebrities were also very interested in this mysterious young man who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Impudent?"
Downey narrowed his eyes and glanced at the military bigshot. His cynical face showed insufferably arrogant arrogance as he said in a powerful voice, "Statham, I know you have connections and background in the military. But I'll leave it at that. Not to mention you, even if your backer was standing in front of me … "
"Why don't you try and touch my master?" Donnie was extremely arrogant. It made Xiao Zheng feel like a stranger.
But soon, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but chuckle. He understood Donnie's intention.
This little guy was probably trying to raise his profile for his trip to New York.
There was no doubt that fighting with General Statham was the easiest way to make a name for himself. After all, it was a cross-field contest, and the impact would be more violent than a competition between peers. If he won, how would Wall Street view Xiao Zheng's sudden arrival in New York?
Just based on their master-disciple relationship, the outside world would not believe that Donnie would be so biased towards Xiao Zheng. So, is this also Gandalf's attitude?
In fact, Xiao Zheng's intention of attacking Francis was also to establish his prestige. In any case, Justin owed him a big favor. Xiao Zheng didn't take too much, so it wasn't too much to ask Justin to return the favor at home.
Xiao Zheng also believed that Justin's ability would be able to handle the conflict of that slap. At the same time, it would help him expand his reputation and facilitate the expansion of Xin Ao's territory in the Western world. Killing two birds with one stone.
But now it seemed that Donnie wanted to play big. His target was General Statham!
And what about him, Justin?
Would he dare not make a move?
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Not wanting to let his only disciple bear the burden alone, he glanced at Justin with a smile that wasn't a smile. The latter understood. Although he smiled bitterly in his heart, he had to make a move.
For him, Xiao Zheng even offended Lin Laoyao. On the contrary, how could he sit back and do nothing for General Statham?
If word got out, Justin would lose face. Who would respect him and cooperate with him?
Most importantly, he was the host and the leader of this family banquet. Xiao Zheng came from thousands of miles away, if he were to go back in a huff. He really couldn't explain to those old monsters like Hua Xia.
Hua Xia was a growing market, and Justin only wanted to capture it as much as possible, not give it up.
Donnie's arrogant words shocked the celebrities present and put General Statham in a difficult position. He was well aware of how terrifying the influence of the family behind Donnie was. Even if he tried his best, he wouldn't be able to shake their foundation in the Federation. On the contrary, he might suffer endless criticism.
One must know that Gandalf's power in the media was even better than Justin's. Isn't smearing him like a child's play?
But sometimes, not being able to move doesn't mean you can retreat.
If he took a step back today, he was bound to suffer greater ridicule and ridicule. He would have no face left.
"Donnie, you broke one of my men's legs. How do you think we should settle this account? "General Statham asked. His eyes shot out a cold light.
Donnie heard this and shrugged: "If you have the ability, then cripple one of my legs."
As soon as he said this, the scene was in an uproar.
Cripple one of your legs? You are the only son of Gandalf!
Even the President of the United States may not dare to say such harsh words, let alone a mere General Statham? A direct subordinate of the Minister of Defense?
If Statham really did this, not only would his political career come to an end. He would even face a more terrible disaster!
This was the status of a businessman in a capital country!
They call the wind and summon the rain, control politics, and even affect the global economy!
In fact, the foundation of a country, the will of the people, is not it not implemented on the basis of the economy?
Even war is fought on logistics and wealth.
History can prove that countless global sensational wars are driven by profit and nothing else.
"Good! Let's do it your way! "
Statham said with a cold face: "Today, I will teach you how to be a man on behalf of Gandalf!"
