Chapter 949: Path Dependence of Citigroup Leadership

As long as the Orientals do not end up in legal terms, they will not be caught by politicians and used to incite escalation of the war.

If the war escalates excessively, based on the lessons of the peninsula, it is certain that the Orientals will roll up their sleeves and fight. This is certain.

As a military, he really didn't want to face that country's troops again, and didn't want his soldiers to hear the horn sound that could drive people crazy again.

The politicians in Congress only need to talk and act like Mr. Smith, but as soldiers who have to face the swords and guns of the opponents, there are many things to consider.

What Orientals? No, absolutely not!

"Then how do you explain that the guerrillas in South Jiaozhi could cause such heavy losses to us in a very short period of time? They are guerrillas! Guerrillas!"

"Commander-in-chief, these guerrillas may have received advanced weapons and training from the Orientals. We have discovered similar weapons in small quantities before, and now they are just concentrating them and using them. Also, don't underestimate the guerrillas. During S2, it was the Oriental guerrillas who cooperated with the regular army to stop the Japanese army in many areas of their territory."

Although the Japanese are now castrated like quails, the Americans still basically recognize the strength of the Japanese in S2, especially the army. After all, they are able to make the five-star reviewer Mai Paopao flee in panic.

The guerrillas who were able to hold off the Japanese army in S2 must have disciples who are not bad either.

"No matter whose power it is, it seems that the South Jiaozhi government has no ability to withstand the attacks and harassment from the North Jiaozhi forces. If we do not take further action, it is foreseeable that another peninsula will be created."

In fact, the Citigroups were also feeling bitter at that time. Although there was a cold war everywhere, in the few places where there was a hot war and which were of strategic value, except for the Gulf of Ouest, their own brothers were all weaklings.

On the contrary, the group of younger brothers on the opposite side are all poor but powerful. Although they are poor, they are really powerful, especially in the Far East, where they have a second brother who is a thief and a good fighter.

That's a professional Tongtian era, and the battle record can be checked.

His staff knew that their commander-in-chief was right in this matter and that they really could not ignore it.

"Then we have to convince Congress and pass relevant bills in Congress, otherwise there will not be enough resources available."

Don’t be fooled by the saying that the powers in Citigroup are separated and the leaders cannot do whatever they want. In fact, this is mostly just self-flattery and they are PUAing other countries.

The main reason that led to this situation in the end was nothing else but their lame leader in S2.

In other words, it was not the lame leader of S2, but the lame leader at the beginning of the Great Depression.

They really have the heart to do it, and they have enough ability and support to beat the rich people to death.

So after the death of the Cripple Commander, the Citigroup bosses modified the system in various ways, trying every possible means, all for one purpose - to ensure that there would never be another Cripple.

At this time, if the head of Citigroup did not control Congress and the Supreme Court, his power would be incomplete and he would not be able to do many things.

"You go and find a way to lobby the members of Congress. In addition to our own people, I need more support. We need to obtain the right to send troops to Jiaozhi in order to proceed with the next step."

After taking a tough stance against the Russians and reaping the benefits, the commander became very motivated and felt that being tough was a good approach.

This is called path dependence.

At the same time, in Qianshan, Gao Zhendong was attending a briefing between the working group and comrades from Qianshan.

This time they are not conducting an inspection, but simply conducting a survey. There are not so many taboos and they can talk openly about many situations.

However, the person responsible for speaking to report the preliminary results of the investigation was not Gao Zhendong, but the leader of the working group, as if everyone knew that Gao Zhendong did not like to speak himself.

"…In summary, according to our research, the most suitable areas for the layout of electronic-related factories are the central Guizhou region headed by Qianyang and the northern Guizhou region represented by Chongyi. In addition, the southern autonomous prefecture of Qianzhong also has certain conditions."

Qianzhong area includes Qianyang and Anshun. Anshun is close to Qianyang. I don't know if it is because of the siphon effect and the small size of the area. When Anshun arrived at Gao Zhendong's crossing, its GDP was the last in Qianshan. This is a very confusing thing. But there are also good things here. The latest model of Shiye was later produced in this area.

"The terrain in Qianzhong is relatively flat, and education and transportation are relatively developed. It is also close to several special economic zones in Meishan, so it is relatively convenient to obtain energy support."

"Chongyi is backed by Sichuan Province. In addition to the advantages of Qianzhong, it is also close to Shuangqing, a big city, and can cooperate well with Sichuan. The only drawback is that it is far from Coal Mountain, but several counties in Chongyi also have a lot of coal resources, which makes up for its energy deficiency to a certain extent."

The Chongyi area was originally transferred from Shu Province, so it is nothing new that it can coordinate and cooperate with Shu Province conveniently as they are adjacent to each other.

"Thanks to the hard work of the comrades in the working group. You have not only completed the research task this time, but also helped us to find out the bottom line in this direction. It is also of great guiding significance for our future work." This is not a compliment, but a fact to a certain extent.

Qianshan itself is short of resources for development, so it naturally does not have the power or enough professional senior talents to complete the entire process of research and analysis.

Comrades who often work on government documents know that a solid survey data set can be used in many industries, many occasions, and many times.

"We also want to thank our local comrades for their cooperation. They have been following us these days and have suffered a lot."

"No, no, they are all used to running around in this area. It's you who have come all the way here. The conditions here are really a bit unfair to you."

The expert team leader was not sure how to respond to this directly, but he had his own way. Deputy team leader Gao, a foodie next to him, solved the problem for him.

"I don't feel wronged. I think our team leader Gao is getting fat here."

Everyone looked at Gao Zhendong and laughed.

What the expert group leader said was not an exaggeration. It was hard to say whether Gao Zhendong gained weight or not, but it was true that he enjoyed the meal. The only thing was that the other comrades in the expert group could not accept the food he ate, so he was the only one who enjoyed it.

For example, the sour bamboo shoots in Wuling snail noodles in western Guangdong are very famous, but most people don’t know that this thing is also eaten in southeastern Guizhou and Shandong.

Others would run away eight hundred miles just by smelling this thing, but Gao Zhendong ate it with relish.

By the way, if you really can’t stand the taste of Wuling snail noodles, then don’t add sour bamboo shoots, the taste will be more acceptable.

"Well, since you don't want to eat them, I have no choice but to kill them for you." Gao Zhendong laughed. At least he felt satisfied after eating.

"If you like it, Team Leader Gao, you are welcome to visit Qianshan often. You have a strong connection with this place." The leader of Qianshan said with a smile.

For Qianshan, even if they don’t know the “complete version” of Gao Zhendong, just the part they know now is enough to make them realize that it is a great thing to have such a person often come to Qianshan.

Even if you do nothing, just come here often to hang out, it's very interesting.

Moreover, this is a very young top expert. In the view of Qianshan’s comrades, if they get along well with him, he can even be passed down as a political legacy to benefit future generations.

Moreover, Team Leader Gao really has a special affinity with this place. If eating Houttuynia cordata is the credit of his neighbor who is a Sichuan chef, then the fact that he also enjoys eating things like sour shrimp, sour bamboo shoots, northern Guizhou cuisine, dried shrimps, and horse meat is something that cannot be explained by having a Sichuan chef around him.

If you don't seize the opportunity, you are a fool. Qianshan is a little poor, but we are not stupid at all.

Gao Zhendong seemed to have something in his head moving again, and he nodded: "That's no problem, I also hope I can come here often. If Qianshan really becomes a third-tier electronic component base, I think I will come here quite often."

Although Qianshan is poor, it will at least be a data center in the future. Even if it is just a large computer room, it will be a very distinctive industry.

"Please rest assured, we in Qianshan will do our best to cooperate with the implementation of the third-line base. Whoever makes it difficult for the base to be implemented will make it difficult for us in Qianshan. We also hope that the experts in the working group can convey our determination to the superiors."

After finishing his official business, he turned to talk about "personal matters".

"Team Leader Gao, you have such a strong connection with Qianshan. In our eyes, you are a Qianshan native. No matter whether it is work or not, as long as you come back to Qianshan, our comrades in Qianshan will take good care of you. Don't forget to come and visit us often after work." Although we know that for an expert of Gao Zhendong's level, the so-called "after work" is unlikely to be mentioned, but the attitude must be shown first.

Gao Zhendong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will come back often when I am free. I hope the comrades in Qianshan don't find me annoying."

Everyone laughed. Qianshan couldn't say this to other comrades in the working group as it might seem like he was forcing someone to do something. But when it came to Gao Zhendong, it was absolutely appropriate.

Look at this guy, he can eat and sleep well here, and his local dialect is almost catching up with his Beijing dialect. Although he has not been in Beijing for many years, his speed in learning Qianshan dialect is obviously different from ordinary people.

It is the consensus of the comrades in the working group that Team Leader Gao must have been a Qianshan person in his previous life.

As for whether Comrade Qianshan would be annoyed with him? Not to mention his previous contributions to Qianshan, even from the most utilitarian point of view, do you know what the academician workstation will represent in a few decades? Even if it is just a sign hanging there, it is enough for local governments to flock to it.
