Chapter 923 -916: The Plot Begins to Emerge
A piece of news about the US imposing penalties on Jianghe Company exploded on the internet!
The report went something like this: the US first unreasonably raised the import tariff on Jianghe’s products, then maliciously added a 1000% import tax, and later, the US announced the cancellation of its import duties, effectively kicking Jianghe out of the US!
As soon as the news broke, many multinational corporations in the US were in an uproar!
“The actions of the Americans are disappointing to us. Our nation’s Jianghe has not breached any laws, yet it has been treated this way.
This time, they targeted Jianghe; perhaps next time, it will be our turn!”
“I propose that we unite to seek justice from the US; otherwise, our fate will be the same as Jianghe’s!”
“Exactly!
At that moment, Foster, in his US government office, was engrossed in reading an ancient classic from the Agrarian Country!
He occasionally nodded, marvelling internally that the people from Agrarian Country were truly incredible. Over more than two thousand years, they had developed profound notions about human nature, the state, commerce, and family.
The more he studied, the more he recognized this fact!
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Agrarian Country has stood firm to this day!
With thousands of years of history of the Agrarian Country, subjugating them to the Americans would definitely not be an easy task.
All matters required meticulous planning!
As Foster was lost in thoughts, his assistant Martha knocked on his office door!
“Director Foster, Director Bill from the Department of Commerce gave me a call!”
Foster looked up at her.
“What is it?”
“He didn’t specify, but he said that he has something very important to discuss with you!”
Foster casually closed the book of ancient texts from the Land of the Dragon!

“Call him!”
“Understood, Mr. Foster!”
Then, Martha dialed the number for Minister Bill!
Foster’s voice came through the receiver!
“What’s the matter, Bill?”
“Director Foster, there has been a terrible incident a few days ago. A group of people gathered near the Statue of Liberty on the bridge to protest.”
Bill then explained the current situation to Foster.
“Those fools dare to use such means to threaten us!”
Bill said, “Mr. Foster, it’s a serious matter; they have uploaded the video online, drawing a lot of attention!”
Foster fell silent, seemingly the persistence of these people exceeded his expectations!
While Foster was on the call with Bill, his assistant Martha appeared before him.
“Mr. Foster, I’m sorry to disturb you, but the head of our domestic customs also called you, saying there’s an urgent situation he needs to discuss with you!”
Foster knew his assistant Martha was always very composed; if it weren’t an urgent situation, he wouldn’t receive such a call at this time!
“Alright, let me see your phone!”
Then, Foster spoke into the phone to Bill!
“Director Bill, please hold on, I need to handle an urgent customs procedure!”
“What about me?”
“I’ll get back to you later!”
Foster hung up Bill’s phone, then made a call to the customs office!
As soon as Foster picked up the phone, he heard the director’s voice, panicked and distraught.
“Mr. Foster, a very serious issue has occurred here!”
“Don’t panic, don’t rush, you can take your time, there’s an old saying: Even with Mount Tai crashing down, remain composed and leisurely!”
The man was baffled by Foster’s words, but there was no time to think it through with the urgent situation at hand!
“These foreign companies have joined forces and launched a protest, demanding the revocation of the unfair treatment towards Jianghe within the boundaries of the large agricultural nation! They want it re-established in America, rebuilding Jianghe’s trade channels.”
“Hmm, some companies are indeed audacious.”
Foster wasn’t too angered by these protests because the protesters were his compatriots.
But now, with foreign companies joining in, he was infuriated!
“All foreign companies participating in the protest should face increased taxes, and those not meeting standards should be expelled from the American market.”
Foster ordered, whether in military, technology, or economic terms, their America was the strongest country on Blue Star!
“These fools, daring to challenge America’s dignity, are purely on a suicide mission; they must be severely punished!”
The customs minister, hearing Minister Foster’s angry voice, knew the dignity of Americans on this planet was inviolable!
But this time, the situation was a bit troublesome!
“Mr. Foster, most of these companies involved in the protest produce everyday essentials, which could have a significant impact on our economy.”
“For a basic daily product, we can support more brands after all those companies willing to serve our America are plentiful!”
“Most importantly, the rare earth companies from Y country have also joined in!”
Rare metals!
Upon hearing this, Foster instantly calmed down.
Rare metals on Blue Star are non-renewable and highly valuable!
Known as the “gold” of industries, rare earths, due to their superb optical, electromagnetic, and other physical properties, can be combined with other substances to form various new materials, significantly enhancing the quality and performance of other products.
For example, the materials like steel, magnesium, and titanium alloys used in tanks, warplanes, missiles, and other weapons must be greatly enhanced.
Moreover, in the electronics, laser, nuclear, and superconductivity fields, they are prevalent.
The reason why America’s military technology could lead the world on Blue Star was due to their research outcomes in these rare materials.
Among them, the largest are the large agricultural nation, America, Bear Nation, Y country!
It’s no exaggeration to say that in the near future, a country’s power will be greatly enhanced!
And America also has a lot of rare earth reserves, but they also know to stockpile more rare earths and then import from Cherry Blossom Country as a long-term strategy!
The large agricultural nation and Bear Nation are also well aware of the importance of this substance, therefore, they would never sell it outright!
Only Y country, relying on its rare rare metals, could develop!
If because of this issue, America had to import rare earths from Cherry Blossom Country, it would be a loss!
“I understand, I will discuss with the people above and then inform you!”
Then, Foster hung up the phone!
And these people, including Jianghe Company, all aimed to establish a foothold for Jianghe Group in America!
Afterward, Foster and several other senior officials held a discussion, and they felt it unnecessary to make the situation so severe for just one Jianghe!
Ultimately, they decided to stop controlling Jianghe in the large agricultural nation and resumed their place on the American continent!
