Chapter 2132 - 2132: The Energy Explosion of Vale State

Trump, after learning the truth, was almost in tears.

This old madman's self-esteem had been completely shattered.

He fancied himself a businessman, holding the executive power of the United States and the global dollar hegemony, thinking he could control the world, defend the interests of the United States, uphold world peace, and deal with countries, regions, and people he didn't like using moderate means.

And the result?

In front of this young Liu Zhizhong, he was utterly defeated, again and again, never winning once.

Trump was almost about to lose his temper, to play rogue and throw the rules out the window.

But then again, these early days in office have shown nothing but poor performance, and if he doesn't survive the midterm elections, he could be impeached and removed, which would be embarrassing.

So, this old madman could only resign himself to reality, right?

Of course, he could resign to it, but he would never admit defeat.

He will continue to pursue US interests and his dream of the Nobel Peace Prize.

He can't impose tariffs on the Wale Republic, can't suppress Balse, but can't he do so to other countries?

So, he continued frantically dealing with other countries, making others miserable, with some surrendering and others yielding.

Great East Pot held out for less than two months before almost getting their knees dirty, so they conceded! While conceding, they kept on criticizing, claiming they didn't lose anything. The vast internal market of the Great East Pot doesn't need the US market. Anyway, on all major internet platforms, one part was lamenting hard times, while the other was winning big.

At the same time, the Great East Pot strengthened its ties with Evil Luo Country, selling and giving, with debts guaranteed by the Pot Family.

Doing business with Evil Luo Country, what's the outcome? Those who know understand, those who don't can Google it, hehe…

Of course, the Great East Pot continued exporting products to the Non-Continent, both selling and giving, as long as they didn't lose money.

Meanwhile, the Great East Pot became extremely frustrated with the Wale Republic. Why couldn't the US wage a tariff war against it? It caused everyone else to suffer, haha…

While Trump's tariff war was wreaking havoc, causing global complaints, the economic indicators of the Wale Republic and Balse Republic were healthy and surging, annoying, right?

Liu Zhizhong's international prestige rose another notch, and the Wale Republic's voice carried more weight internationally.

Within less than a month, great news came from Wale State, absolutely earth-shattering good news, hehe…

The Wale Energy National Group discovered abundant oil and gas resources on this overseas territory, with oil and gas emerging just two hundred meters deep.

The proven reserves now surpass the combined totals of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela; the gas volume accounts for nearly 30% of the global reserves.

In other words, for the next two hundred years, the entire global oil and gas needs could be satisfied just by Wale State's production!

Damn...

This is simply a monumental mineral discovery, an explosive find, hahaha...

From now on, the Valle People can just lie down and do nothing, yet still be ludicrously rich, lying down for two hundred years is not a dream!

The whole world was in an uproar!

Completely in an uproar!

International oil and gas prices plummeted crazily, going negative, hahaha...

This reaction is normal, isn't it? Hehe...

The whole Wale Republic was truly crazed by it. Energy stock prices soared all the way up.

While other financial markets, energy stock prices plummeted in response, quite a contrast, right?

This world is truly too surreal.

Liu Zhizhong, leading the Valle People, stood at the pinnacle of the world, it's indescribable.

As the founding father of Valle, and now the father of a wealthy nation, isn't he great?

Of course, Liu Zhizhong never imagined this day.

He merely followed Hengtian Poma's advice with a little idea.

He just wanted to find a better refuge for his citizens when their homeland is submerged by seawater in the future.

Although this refuge was initially desolate and required Yirelie's nation-building techniques to develop better,

developing these mineral deposits while building a home isn't problematic, is it? They were simply searching for minerals, who knew they'd stumble upon a world-class, absolute level oil and gas field.

God favored Balse, giving it the best land.

Building good relations with Valle, Balse sold them a better piece of land, which held no value in the eyes of the Balse people.

But now… oh～～～～

Wale State's value emerged, and the Balse people's guts turned green with regret.

Even Luerlaco, when privately calling Liu Zhizhong, asked: "Dear Sir, did you know something beforehand? Otherwise, sigh…"

He was regretful and heartbroken.

But the only consolation is, no matter what Wale State produces, Balse will always enjoy 2.5% of its value, sigh～～～

Of course, there are opposing voices within Balse too. Now, more fiercely, they demand the land back, declaring it ancestral and unsellable.

Especially with the Great East Pot stirring up Balse behind the scenes, promising to restore friendly ties, helping them develop oil and gas fields, with especially high returns, without them paying a dime.

Facing such temptation, Luerlaco resisted, saying Balse people shouldn't break their word. It was a permanent land grant, so don't dream of taking it back. Some countries, having their fertile, resource-rich lands taken away, aren't thinking of reclaiming them either, didn't even when the right time came!

Such words slapped some countries' faces loudly, not knowing how swollen they became, hehe…

Wale State's energy explosion cemented Liu Zhizhong's eternal status in Wale Country, unshakeable. Founding, nation-building, nation-enriching, he's truly the unquestionable father of these three titles!

Within Wale, even among the Valle People's own circles, a voice emerged: amend the constitution, lift the presidential term limit, Mr. Zhongshui should hold power for four, five terms, even for life.

Moreover, someone launched a public opinion survey on constitutional amendments for Mr. Zhongshui's lifetime rule, yielding an astonishing 70% result!

Oh my… that's terrifying.

Yet, faced with this scenario, Liu Zhizhong promptly stepped forward, even issuing a nationwide address.

His emphatic statement was: "Power cannot remain concentrated in one person's hands for too long, or problems will arise! Caging power is my lifelong pursuit! Lifetime rule, do you want to exhaust me? Please spare me, okay?"

Hahaha...
