Chapter 2194 - 2194

After Liu Zhizhong finished his phone call with Trump, he felt quite uneasy.

How should I put it?

Trump is now facing internal and external troubles.

Externally, it's the action against Venezuela, where Trump is caught in a dilemma: whether to attack or not.

If he attacks, the domestic scene in the United States would be chaotic because local elections have embarrassed him. Venezuela is surrendering every day without making any significant moves, so the reason for an attack seems inadequate.

If he doesn't attack, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed around Venezuela, with daily expenses exceeding hundreds of millions of US dollars. This is truly a money-burning task. The shadow fleet and enclave in Wale Republic spend around fifty million US dollars daily, which is still bearable.

Furthermore, the domestic Finance Committee has already warned Trump. Since taking office, not only have you not reduced the US national debt, but the fiscal deficit has increased by over tens of billions of US dollars. You need to find a way, stop always thinking about tariff wars, as our losses can be quite significant.

There's also an issue that has surged to global hot searches in the past few days. That's the matter of the Epstein files!

Trump actually spoke to Liu Zhizhong about this.

Because several of Trump's staunch supporters have defected, strongly demanding he fulfill his promise—to publish the list and details of regular visitors on Rolle Island, which means publishing the Epstein files.

These files are incredible!

Because Epstein committed suicide seven years ago.

At that time, it was still Trump's first term.

The files he left behind amount to tens of gigabytes, involving too many US politicians and elites, including Trump himself.

During Trump's election campaign, he strongly proved his innocence, saying he just went to Rolle Island for drinks, dancing, and some golf. He also promised to choose an appropriate time to publish all the files upon election.

On the second day of taking office, he signed an executive order to release these files.

Because some victims on Rolle Island have initiated judicial proceedings, and the US police are also involved.

But the issues involved are too significant, making many things difficult to address!

However, responding to just two days ago, which was the second day of Liu Zhizhong's visit to Little Japan, Trump unexpectedly announced the news to no longer release the Epstein files.

Damn...

This really enraged the people of the United States and the victims.

Trump's rival party seized upon this to make a big fuss. Not only did it worsen Trump's already devastating failures in local elections, but even his die-hard loyalists began frantically defecting.

Why is this?

Because of conscience!

Trump is skilled at overturning and negating himself, but who knew that the denial in this matter would bring negative implications so vast?

Anyone who has studied logic knows that his actions are simply because he got exposed.

No wonder Epstein said when he got arrested that he had the materials to take down Trump anytime.

It seems that's true!

Once released, Trump directly stepping down is highly possible, right?

This is Liu Zhizhong's judgment.

Because Liu Zhizhong saw in his own think tank's briefing information: recently, Trump even took Epstein's files from his desk, printed them, and handed them over to the FBI, asking them to remove a whole truckload of materials, damn!

What were they doing? But to erase some critical names one paper at a time among these tens of gigabytes of files. This requires reviewing one piece of paper after another, the result... because there are too many words, too much content, and too many pictures and videos, eventually leading the FBI to give up on Trump's stuff? And then he calls for an emergency halt?

Once he called a halt, the media, the people, and the political parties did not agree, procedures had to start, there had to be voting, there had to be resolutions.

In his phone call with Trump, the latter certainly did not say he was involved himself, just that it would involve high-level political figures in the US and some economic celebrities, not conducive to social and global stability. He hoped Liu Zhizhong could find a way to help him, and afterward, the United States would certainly remember Wale.

Honestly, Liu Zhizhong felt disgusted by such matters.

You've brought this situation to this level, what else do you want? Delay or cover up the truth?

What about those innocent children on Rolle Island? The young girls, the pitiable boys, what about their dignity and respect?

Don't you political and economic moguls have children? Don't you have grandsons and granddaughters?

These beasts!!!

Liu Zhizhong linked many pieces of information, including many rumors in the streets and lanes, increasingly feeling that the Rolle Island incident was real, very cruel, very shameless, and once fully revealed, it would be a global long-term hot topic with far-reaching effects.

But if it doesn't explode, do we owe it to human conscience? Sigh…

Liu Zhizhong even somewhat regretted improving his relations with Trump so much; he is truly a demon of the mortal world!

He merely indicated over the phone that he was truly powerless.

Since this moment, Liu Zhizhong and Trump indeed had the feeling of a complete rupture.

After a six-hour flight, the special plane returned to the Wale Republic, and Liu Zhizhong didn't have time at all to adjust to the slight time difference and immediately convened a temporary emergency meeting of the think tank, incidentally, assembling all the big shots from the military to attend.

What is Liu Zhizhong planning to do?

Of course, it's important matters!

One, reposition the relationship with the United States, especially the relationships with their political figures, specifically the Trump team;

Two, consider withdrawing troops from the surroundings of Venezuela, but the military preparations on the overseas enclave and the border adjacent to Venezuela must continue to ensure we can push overland at any time;

Three, whether Wale's media should strongly engage in the Epstein file incident. Although Wale's media is free, the government still has some influence. After all, the two countries are now in a honeymoon period, and breaking this sweetness might have some adverse effects for Wale.

Ultimately, the think tank meeting and military leaders listening in lasted over three hours.

When the meeting adjourned, night had fallen completely, and everyone's heart was heavy. Rolle Island, Epstein files, these weighty words deeply triggered everyone's conscience.

The meeting's decision has been made.

One, maintain diplomatic contact with the United States, economic and civil exchanges, and technological exchange, but temporarily sever political ties until matters settle down.

Two, the shadow fleet returns to the Australia Military Port, only carrying out routine exercises.

Three, Wale's media will deeply follow up on the Epstein file incident, broadcasting live from the United States 24 hours a day.

The third point truly is heavy-handed, its impact really visible to the naked eye, damn... you couldn't even imagine...
