Chapter 1170: Chapter 159 Gru: I care, oh, I particularly care!_3

No, none of it, it’s us, it’s specifically us!

Whether it’s the America you mentioned returning to a feudal era, or the strong federal-centric America you desire, neither might include our place.

But now, in this America, we have a place, and it’s quite central.”

Gru’s words sound like nonsense, but they actually hit the nail on the head.

A greater America, a great empire sailing to the stars and sea, sounds wonderful indeed.

But Gru is concerned about whether he will have a place on that ship of the New Era?

If there is a place, will it be first class or premium class?

“I shouldn’t be talking this much with a high schooler, Gru, you don’t get it, the Great Commander has shifted America from strategic expansion to strategic contraction.

This contraction may improve some situations in the short term, but in the long run, it will surely harm America’s hegemony. After WWII and the Cold War, we gradually established today’s global system, becoming the greatest country humanity has ever seen.

The expansion of the system is also the expansion of our control, and the contraction of the system is also the contraction of our control!”

Benny’s thinking is very ‘orthodox’, and also quite correct.

But….

“Hahaha, Benny, let me tell you, you’re not better than me, reading so much has only made you foolish.

The fight between Chan and Nanxi, between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, is essentially the same thing, they’re vying for some sort of dominance.

The Great Commander dismantling America’s global system is a strike against the supporters of the Democratic Party within the bureaucracy.

You can see the difference between bureaucratic strength and government strength, but you can’t see the intrinsic link between the ebb of globalization and the Republican Party’s suppression of the Democratic Party.

I don’t think you’re stupid, you’re just too naive!

Robert doesn’t appreciate you for a reason.

You know so many people, you have connections on the West Coast and in Washington D.C., that’s a good thing, but also your drawback.

On the surface, you’ve become one of us, but inside, you can’t accept the harsh rules of competition.

Looking at it this way, your interest in America’s return to feudalism isn’t surprising, you hope there’s a powerful person to solve all problems, then everything will be fine.

Too naive, hahaha.

If you can’t handle internal conflict, you’re destined not to reach higher levels. If you don’t change yourself, Benny, I’m afraid you’ll be nothing more than a vice president in this lifetime.”

Benny was so shut down he couldn’t speak, he wanted to say the summer insect cannot discuss ice, but his mind told him Gru was right.

He is well-liked, so he could become a disciple of a bigwig through his wide network.

But because of this, his inner self is not resilient or decisive enough to adapt to intense struggles.

Watching Benny scarf down food in silence, Gru indifferently curled his lips.

You’re hopeless!

Black Police picked up his phone, opened a social app, and liked a post from someone on his follow list.

Times are different now, Gru attending a banquet in the palace’s banquet hall is like stretching a hundred times, outside handlers can’t see it.

Therefore, they set up a special code.

In the ancient times, smashing a cup was a signal, now a ‘like’ is the signal.

Once Gru finished liking the post, he looked at Wolf and Tiffany, the newlyweds were chatting and laughing with the bigwigs.

Today’s ceremony went very smoothly, so smoothly it reminded Gru of his wedding with that transgender person.

Thinking of this, Gru smiled.

“Boom!”

The sound of an explosion came from outside, so violent that the banquet hall’s glass trembled, and the chandeliers on the ceiling shook as well.

General Cheng and Niusen thought no one cared about Wolf’s wedding, but they were wrong.

Gru: I care, I, especially care!

Internal conflict, Gru is never afraid!
