The higher Jasper’s level, the deeper his understanding of the world and the more sophisticated his worldview.
Jasper knew very well that a so-called mysterious organization or some random bigwig could not manage a country, much less society as a whole.
It involved military, politics, culture, technology, finance, people’s livelihood, and so on.
When he was reincarnated, and even before he was reincarnated, Jasper often wondered whether this world was really controlled by a mysterious organization. After all, there were a lot of similar conspiracy theories about this matter.
Now, he understood that this was
impossible.
If an industry or a region were controlled b y such an organization, he might still believe it because it did not require that much power to influence.
However, if it was the world’s number one power like the United States, or even all of Western society, it was absolutely
impossible.
“But even for that organization, it is impossible to appoint the forty-fourth president so far in advance. This requires the cooperation of the candidates themselves and the compromise of various forces. Everything will involve conflict of interests, so I don’t believe
what you said.”
Alan’s next sentence gave Jasper a better understanding of this so-called organization.
At the same time, it also made him
understand how to deal with this.
What was certain now was that such an organization did exist, but Jasper had no idea what it was called, what it was like, o r who was in it.
Therefore, he should not expose himself i n this regard.
Furthermore, from what Alan said, even this organization could not decide who was the next president of the United States.
This made Jasper breathe a sigh of relief because he felt this was pretty normal.
After all, that was the president of the United States. Once in office, he was the most powerful person on the planet with the most advanced military weapons and the most powerful economic power. How could such a person be the puppet of an organization?
Or perhaps it was some kind of compromise on interest.
This system was similar to the political contribution system of the United States,
which was open and legal.
The businessmen of the United States would look for candidates who could bring them interests before the general election, and then provide funds to the party to support the election. Once the election was successful, the candidate would reciprocate and give the businessman some preferential policies or
bills in the company or industry.
“But there are already several candidates, right? The one I told you of is the one I think is the most likely candidate.”
Jasper worked hard to prevent any flaws
and loopholes in his language. After all,
the person on the phone was not an
ordinary person, but the patriarch of the
Maynards in North America, and he was a
very smart old man. If Jasper revealed
even the slightest flaw, the man would
catch him.
Upon hearing Jasper, Alan did not say
another word. It seemed that he had
tacitly agreed to this.
This also made Jasper breathe a sigh of
relief. It seemed that he did not say
anything wrong.
“I can tell you who the candidates, but as
for whether you choose to invest in them i
s entirely up to you. I believe you have a
set of evaluation methods and standards t
o determine whether this person is worth
investing in.”
Jasper’s words made Alan completely
abandon the last trace of doubt and
hesitation in his heart.
Indeed, Jasper was right. As long as he got
the list of candidates, he could investigate
it secretly and observe slowly before deciding whether to invest in them.
For the Maynards, political resources were not scarce. Even if they made a mistake once or twice, the possibility of them losing something was not too big.
