Chapter 1052: Falling

Carmen hung up the phone call from Johnson

He sunk into the chair, and his fingers pinched his eyebrows as he looked into the dark and long night.

Just now, Johnson “convinced” the senate’s speaker. The bill to amend the military service system could be drafted by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. The next step was voting, which shouldn’t receive too much resistance.

As for Peter…

Carmen admitted that the idiot dying at this juncture was a heavy blow to his strategic deployment in Europe.

But if he could last till next month, there should be room to turn the table.

Opening the desk drawer, Carmen took out a box of pills, poured two out and stuffed them into his mouth. His tired nerves gradually relaxed.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Jewish consortium was glorious and prosperous. Making a fortune in the financial crisis, and letting the entire UA people foot the bills. At the time of the election, it donated money to both sides, manipulated politics, defended Israel, robbed the Third World, and as if the world is just a game. The Jewish consortium was winning in everything… but in fact, the situation couldn’t get any worse.

Especially now.

It was an unprecedentedly bad situation

Since the war with Future Group, they didn’t seem to live a peaceful day. They had several opportunities to kill that man, but the opportunities slipped away from their hands again and again. Last time, Future Group and the WASP consortium almost took out Goldman Sachs.

But he did not regret that he chose to be Future Group’s enemy.

In order to protect his own interest, the incumbent forces were bound to create conflict with emerging forces. Either be replaced or be swallowed by the enemy and digested into something of their own. From the day when Future Mining was founded, he had already foreseen the day when the two sides would meet in arms.

Eighty percent of the world’s ore trade was controlled by them. Fifty percent of the oil trade was directly or indirectly related to their assets. But since the series of “issues” such as the space elevator, asteroid mining, and oil crops emerged, their wealth was shrinking at an exponential rate.

He firmly believed that if Jiang Chen chose financial markets and arms trade as an entry point, those UA-based consortia would not have any reservation at all.

Hesitated for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“Hello?”

“It’s me.”

There was pleasant laughter on the other end.

“Mr. Rothschild, how are you doing?”

Without being bothered by the sarcasm from the other party, Carmen took a deep breath and sighed.

“Stop with your disgraceful American humor, Daniel Morgan, I’m here to discuss business with you.”

“Oh? What business? Are you planning to merge the UA and Mexico?” Daniel Morgan acted surprised

“Do you want to join forces?”

“Join forces?” As if he heard a ridiculous joke, Daniel chuckled. “Man, did you forget something? We fought tooth to nail over the Goldman Sachs acquisition six months ago. Now you are planning to work with me?”

“There are no eternal enemies, there are no eternal allies,” Carmen said coldly. “You really think of yourself as good allies of Future Group? Then why are you watching them make a mess in Europe? Instead of doing the deed yourself?

“Humiliating the poor is not a gentlemanly thing to do.”

“Don’t kid yourself. You don’t want to see them rise. Even if you were in the same trench together, you would never regard them as one of your own. Do you really want me to put it all out there for you to stop acting ignorant?” Carmen said blatantly.

“Oh,” Daniel Morgan smiled, changed the hand he held the phone with, and then put his feet on the desk, “Do you think we want to see you make a comeback? My dear Mr. Rothschild, is your brain influenced by that Golden Apple? If you are sitting in my seat, would you help me?”

Although he had been watching without emotion, Morgan didn’t keep his eyes closed. He understood very clearly what the 7th Institute studied, but just like Jiang Chen, he didn’t take it to heart.

Only a person with a malfunctioning brain would bet everything on an illusory possibility, at least in his opinion, Carmen’s brain had already stopped functioning. Of course, the reason why he thought this was because he didn’t know that the Rothschild family back then established contact with Remnants of the Void, and had benefited a lot from it…

If he learned this secret, perhaps he would also be interested in the magical “apple.”

“You will regret your choice today,” Carmen said sullenly.

“On the contrary, I am extremely convinced that one day in the future I will be grateful for the choice I made today.”

The phone line was cut.

Carmen, who was fuming in anger, threw the phone into the bookcase. He gritted his teeth while cursing out.

“A bunch of idiots…”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his emotions, Carmen said slowly.

“Come in.”

The door opened, and his secretary anxiously walked in.

“What?” Carmen raised his head and tried to make his voice sound as calm as possible.

“Bava…” The secretary, looking pale and fearful, ultimately didn’t have the courage to finish his sentence.

Looking at the secretary who was shaking, Carmen was growing impatient.

“What happened to Bava? Just say it.”

The secretary who knew he couldn’t escape decided to bite the bullet and report the bad news he received from Frankberg.

The 10th Armored Division revolted. The Arrow’s strongholds received catastrophic destruction and they were forced to retreat…

In short, the situation in Frankberg was getting out of control, and the Rothschild family was losing their grasp on the nation.

To the surprise of the secretary, after listening to the report, the boss’s emotions were unexpectedly calm.

“Go out, let me be alone.”

The relieved secretary left in quick steps.

When the door closed, a burst of sick redness suddenly appeared on Carmen’s face, and blood appeared in his hand after he coughed.

So much regret!

He was so close!

He was so close to unifying Europe and completing the great work that Napoleon and Hitler never completed!

His bloodshot pupils stared at the Golden Apple sitting quietly on the table. The bloodstained hand tightly held onto it.

Until it disappeared in 1942, the direct blood of the Rothschild family could rely on this media to communicate with the sages who claimed to be the Remnants of the Void and acquire knowledge and gain wisdom beyond the times…

However, after returning to his hands over more than half a century, he didn’t hear the voice in his brain as recorded in the genealogy.

He didn’t understand why he was not chosen!

Perhaps his “prayers” over the past few days was finally answered. At this moment, a devilish voice suddenly sounded from the depths of his mind.

“You… need… help?”
