Iron Bull Legend

Moreover, it is a manifestation of the hegemony of the United States. Oil is a necessity in this world that can be called liquid gold. It is an indispensable energy source for countries all over the world. Any country that purchases oil has to look up to the United States oil consortium. If they do not agree with you, it is absolutely impossible for you to get a sufficient share.

That is to say, on the one hand, the oil consortiums monopolize the extraction of oil. They can produce as many barrels as they want. If they want to stop production, then these oil-producing countries must stop production, and not a drop of oil will flow into the market. At the same time, they also control the pricing power of oil sales.

If the oil consortium says that a barrel of crude oil is US$200, then it is US$200. You may not be able to bargain with them because they have already formed a one-stop control over the entire industrial chain of crude oil sales.

James is the executive head of the oil consortium. In this operation of oil futures, he joined forces with several major families to strictly control the crude oil futures prices. However, no one expected that at this moment, someone would suddenly take all the money at the highest point of the highest price.

The price of crude oil futures dropped directly from more than 300 US dollars per barrel to 150 US dollars per barrel. The loss in between was already an astronomical figure. Even their oil consortium was liquidated in an instant, losing more than 10 trillion US dollars at once.

This is no longer an issue of obvious losses; it is simply snatching meat from a tiger's mouth, directly pulling out the nerves of the oil consortium, causing them so much pain that they wish they were dying. Therefore, a meeting was held yesterday and this matter must be resolved.

"Phillips, I tell you, no matter what method you use, don't tell me any bullshit about shirking responsibility. You must catch that unlucky guy for me. He must make up for our losses and compensate us. Do you understand?" James roared again and gave a death order.

"Mr. James, I cannot investigate this matter alone. You also need to conduct a detailed investigation. If you don't know our action plan, how can we hit the key points at every step? As soon as we were about to take the next step, the other party was already one step ahead of us, taking our steps and leading the market. You must pay special attention to such a surprise attack."

"I will. I must dig him out for me this time. I will never let him go."

"Tell me who is competing with us for profits. They must have a lot of money. Could it be those bastards in the military industry? What benefit will they get from doing this?" James asked hatefully, gritting his teeth, constantly thinking about this force that was against them in his mind.

"Alas, I am a little confused about this matter. Originally, this incident was very strange. All the overseas troops died mysteriously within a few days. I was also a little suspicious of them, but now I have given up my suspicion of them. Think about it, if it was them, why did they give up protecting the oil wells? Or think of other forces?"

"What you said makes sense. After all, there is no benefit for them to do this. They will also have profits to distribute after the goods are sold. Logically, they would not do such a thing. However, they still occupy a small share in our profit distribution. Do you think it is possible that they feel that their profits have been reduced and they are venting their anger privately and deliberately find someone to do it?" James still had doubts.

"It's not impossible for Mr. James to think this way. If the military industry takes all the mineral resources and oil fields directly into their own hands this time, then all the benefits must be re-distributed according to the interests of crude oil, and their voice will gradually increase. After all, they took back the oil fields and mineral resources, so it's not impossible for them to have the voice."

Please make arrangements to monitor them in all directions and investigate this thoroughly for me.

"Alas, Mr. James, you don't know that we just took action here, but our entire army was wiped out last night. We were directly wiped out by Shaula's government. Let's see, should we activate the second plan?"

"What? Does Sharimius not want to cooperate? Or does he feel that he has become too powerful? You warn him that if he cooperates with our oil family, we will make his life easier. He knows the consequences if he disobeys. We really give him courage."

"This matter is also very strange. This operation was directed by his youngest son. I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He just beat Wyatt right away. Also, didn't I say there was something fishy about this matter? Wyatt deserves it. He slept with Pesina's wife and can't control his pants."

"Fuck, it's already this late and you still have the time to mess around with women. So, how is Wyatt now? See if you can ask Sharimius for a favor and release him. After all, he knows too much about us, and we must not let him get into trouble."

"He's dead. I heard he was killed by his bodyguards. These are just rumors. The details are still unclear. The control over there is very tight. We can't get involved at all. We are a bit powerless at this point. We really can't intervene."

"A bunch of useless people, more trouble than success, they actually did something like this at such a critical moment, it's really embarrassing for them. So, do you think that this incident was targeted by that old fox Sharimius? After all, those oil fields are very delicate right now."

"This is what I think about this matter. After all, our cooperation agreement is there, and they dare not go too far. However, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen. You also know that the aircraft carrier formation stationed by the United States has disappeared, and the specific circumstances of the disappearance have not been investigated clearly. I am afraid that once this incident happens, it will be disadvantageous to us. Isn't there only one Shaula in the Middle East?" Phillips sighed meaningfully and passed his concerns directly to him. It is up to you to make the decision.

"Hmph, I wonder if they dare. They think we the oil family are not serious. If they annoy our oil family, then we will just kill them. Don't they know how much help we have given them over the years?" James was also a little helpless. This is not an oil-producing country. There are so many countries in the Middle East that have oil and mineral resources, and they are all very powerful.

"That's also what I'm worried about. The other side seems to have evidence of the United States' overseas troops cooperating in releasing the virus last time. This has caused us a lot of trouble. Those pig-brained guys ignored the overall situation and did such a brainless thing. If Sharimius uses this to make us a big deal and tears up the contract, we really won't be able to do anything to them."

"Alas, this is a major plan of our beautiful country. It is not something that our family can influence. The military-industrial families have gone crazy. Their profits have declined in recent years, so they have been looking for various excuses and reasons to fight a war. Only by fighting can their interests be maximized. After all, this is the best opportunity for them to buy and sell weapons and equipment."

"But we can't sacrifice our own interests, can we? Think about it. We can earn money steadily now. We can extract a large amount of underground oil and transport it out. With the military stationed there, we can also transport more oil out. However, the border is now blocked, and all control rights have been returned to Shaula. Tell me how much control we are under now. It's really not worth it."

"There is nothing we can do about this. The elders' opinion is to stabilize the situation first. Since they have done this, they should give us sufficient compensation."

"Hmph, let's not talk about anything else now. Can we make up for the losses in the transaction? If we continue to be so passive, there will be greater losses and the higher-ups will be dissatisfied. Well, let's get through this hurdle first."

"Okay, I'll do my best, but please send me a group of people as soon as possible. The loss this time doesn't allow me to conduct any investigation. I can't do anything if the people are missing."

"The government will also send people to investigate, so let's combine these two things. It's too late for us to send people there now."

"Okay, then, should we implement the second plan as planned and increase investment to push up the price of crude oil futures? In this case, we will need to increase leverage, and the risk of liquidation will also increase. We are afraid of being stabbed again."

"Be careful. We have increased surveillance and investigation here."

At this time, Phillips felt that what he was about to face would be extremely difficult. On the one hand, he did not have enough manpower to investigate, and on the other hand, he had to be careful of being ambushed. Now, no one knew whether the dark hand hidden in the dark would come out before they took any action.

If they were to attack again, the loss would be immeasurable and unbearable. Therefore, Phillips now feels like there is a sword hanging over his head, which may fall down at any time and kill him without even knowing how he died.

Deep in his heart, he felt that there was a pair of eyes secretly monitoring him. His every move was under the surveillance of the other party, and no small movement would be spared.

"Alas, if we don't find the traitor, we won't have a good life. So, I suggest we just replace the traders and lock up the original people to see if such a thing will happen again. There is nothing we can do about it."

"Then change them. Remember, you must be careful in selecting personnel. Do not use those with unclear identities. Do not let anyone come into contact with them. Monitor their food, clothing, housing and transportation closely. If something like this happens again, neither you nor I can bear the wrath of the higher-ups."

"There is no other way. We don't know who our traitor is, and how much they know about our operation plan. Now, we can only take one step at a time and be cautious. Apart from this, we really have no other choice, don't you think?"
