“Other tricks? What else could they do?” Jasper looked at Lord Alvarado and asked.
Lord Alvarado, who never thought that his words would make Jasper react so much, was stunned for a moment. Then, h e said, “I’m not one of those bigwigs from the United States, so how would I know what they’ll come up with?”
After speaking, Lord Alvarado and the little prince saw that Jasper was still pondering. So, they looked at each other and Lord Alvarado could not help saying, I just said it casually. You don’t have to be so serious about it.”
“No, I think what you said makes sense.”
Jasper looked at Lord Alvarado and said seriously, “The United States has the world’s top think tanks, while the global economic situation is shaped by them. How can such an opponent be a fool who can’t even react in time?
“Perhaps they have already foreseen this. Although this crisis is indeed a serious blow to the United States economy, it has also helped them find and solve the problem in advance like a surgical operation.
“In this case, they may really transfer this loss somewhere else. After all, the United States is great at turning their own domestic issues into foreign wars.”
Jasper’s words shocked Lord Alvarado.
“Are they going to war with Somerland?”
Upon hearing that, the little prince glared at Lord Alvarado like he was looking at an idiot before Jasper could speak.
“How could two nuclear powers go to war? What are you thinking?”
Lord Alvarado breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s fine, that’s fine. I thought they’re going to war after hearing what Jasper said, and I was scared to death.”
The little prince ignored him, instead, he looked at Jasper and asked, “What do you think they will do?”
“No idea.”
