Capítulo 1531: Chapter 552: No One’s Voice Matters—Donnie’s Voice Matters Most
Donnie couldn’t help but laugh heartily after hearing this.
Facing Donnie’s laughter, Helen’s expression didn’t change much, but the tone of her voice revealed so of her concerns.
“There’s a lot of discussion about your article out there now!”
Donnie’s previous article could be said to have struck the darkest part of the Arican people’s psyche.
They were very clear about what benefits the victory of World War I brought to the United States.
Yet they just didn’t want to acknowledge the achievents of those war veterans.
Because admitting that would an taking responsibility for the current lives of those veterans.
No one is willing to take money out of their own pockets to give to others, especially not in these difficult tis for everyone.
So they want to belittle these veterans; they look down on them.
From the bottom of their hearts, they despise these people; according to the darkest thoughts in everyone’s minds, these veterans should have all died on the battlefield at the mont of victory.
Only then would it be the best result.
Now Donnie has exposed this darkness deep within their hearts and brought it out into the sunlight.
So, naturally, this behavior of Donnie’s has angered these people!
“Do you know what kind of problem I discovered while sitting in this position now?”
Donnie leaned back in the recliner, a disdainful smile on his face.
Helen curiously asked Donnie, “What problem?”
“Those common folks, their voices are the most useless; these people only have power when they take money out of their pockets to buy our products, company stock, and cast their votes. Otherwise, any voice they make is useless!”
Donnie said casually, squinting.
He used to believe in the so-called voice of the people because he was once one of them, fantasizing that their voices could make those in power see.
But in reality, those in power only ever see their own interests.
As for the people’s voices, those in power might view them as a joke when they’re bored, even scoffing at them with harsh remarks.
Just like now, many are dissatisfied with Donnie’s article, but has this affected the business of Venus Bank?
No!
They still go to Apollo Chain daily to buy what they need.
When thinking of sending packages, the first choice is United States Logistics.
When depositing money, they think of Breton Bank as one of the safest banks in the United States!
Donnie used to think countless tis: since those in power don’t care about what the people say, why doesn’t the populace just do nothing?
If they don’t generate profits for those in power, wouldn’t that be enough?
The reality proves that this is entirely infeasible.
People can’t really just lie there and do nothing.
As long as you need to live, those in power can profit from you.
This doesn’t depend on the will of the people, but on whether those in power are willing to throw a little more their way.
“Those opposing voices now don’t have any effect, but those who listen to these voices can bring us imnse benefits.
For example, what can ordinary people do now?
Nothing more than a couple of aningless howls, but their lives have to continue.
But those who are listening, like the people scattered across ‘Hoovervilles’ in the United States.
Do you believe that no matter which Hooverville I appear in now, I would be treated like a God?
And the reaction of these people actually gets passed on to the military.
Within the U.S. military, there are nurous factions, yet they are extrely exclusive. Although we have fostered Marshall and made connections with many high-ranking officials.
We also need to have a very high reputation among the lower ranks.
When those lower-ranking soldiers see as their savior, only then is our influence within the U.S. military truly solidified!”
Although Donnie doesn’t care about the voices of the common people, he wouldn’t suddenly publish such an article either.
The reason Donnie did this is naturally to garner the prestige of those ordinary officers and enlisted n in the military.
“Since you don’t care about those people’s voices, why do you care about the voices of those lower-ranking people in the military?”
Helen understood Donnie’s argunt but still felt a bit curious.
Donnie waved his hand and smiled: “It’s simple, because we haven’t mastered the voices of the lower-ranking people in the military yet, so we need them, but now we have mastered the voices of those common folks!”
The situation now is just like this.
Donnie has already taken control of New Jersey, Texas, Florida, and California through Venus Bank.
The votes of people in these regions are also in Donnie’s hands.
So Donnie can choose not to care about the voices of these ordinary people.
But Donnie still hasn’t truly gained control over the U.S. military, so he needs to gain more voices within it.
This is a long process, but it is a necessary task.
Helen understood Donnie’s point.
“I think so people in power also don’t like seeing your article.”
Although Donnie’s article didn’t na nas, it could be considered an attack on the United States’ White House and Congress.
To this, Donnie smiled indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter, everyone knows very clearly who is truly in the sa camp.
rely saying sothing proves nothing; status, identity, and interests are the fundantal things!
As long as I don’t take substantive actions, even if soone doesn’t like what I say, they won’t do anything!”
The position Donnie is in now already proves one thing: Donnie is in the sa camp as these people in power in the United States!
Everyone is doing the sa things; it’s just that so people are more hypocritical.
For instance, in the eyes of these people, Donnie is like this.
All he wants is to continue to establish a good reputation among the group of war veterans.
After all, Donnie has done this before, such as constantly recruiting more war veterans to work for him.
But as long as it doesn’t touch on core interests, saying sothing doesn’t matter!
To put it bluntly, whether it’s war veterans or those ordinary citizens.
They’re nothing more than tools in the hands of people like Donnie!
After chatting with Helen, Donnie even made a show of setting out for Washington, arriving in Anacostia.
He personally t with these veterans.
And provided them with food and water.
This action once again earned Donnie the favor of these veterans.
At the sa ti, those in power were also watching Donnie, wanting to see if Donnie just wanted to use this matter to gain so prestige.
And wasn’t really intending to make himself incur a loss.
The truth proved they had nothing to worry about; Donnie didn’t push for any substantive actions to get the White House and Congress to hand over so-called veteran placent funds to these veterans.
Seeing Donnie’s actions, these people were reassured.
Donnie is still in the sa camp as them.
However, Donnie’s actions still had other effects because more and more veterans began to gather in Washington.
This made the security of Washington beco more tense.
As the number of these veterans increases, order becos increasingly difficult to control.
Previously, these veterans lived in ‘Hoovervilles’, and during their leisure ti, so would dance and sing to relieve their lives.
But now such sounds are becoming rarer.
Anger and unrest are growing more intense.
These veterans are no longer willing to stay here peacefully; they start moving towards the vicinity of the White House and Congress.
More and more people gathered in the streets surrounding the White House, moving their ‘Hooverville’ to this location.
The White House’s defensive forces are also being increased.
The tension between the two sides is growing more intense.
At this ti, this place has beco tinder under the scorching sun, and a single spark would ignite it!
