I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 354

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – FIN

[Here’s the news. U.S. crude oil production hit a record high last week. The U.S. Department of Energy said U.S. crude oil production in October topped 12 million barrels per day, accounting for 18% of global oil production.]

Here is an article that could shake the foundations of the US and global energy markets.

The story that America has become the world’s largest oil producer, but this needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

The Middle East, which has dominated the global oil market for the past 50 years, still has world-class refining technology thanks to investments from foreign investors.

The cost of production per barrel is less than $5, and although the United States has emerged as the largest oil producing market, the cost of production per barrel is still quite different at $9.

Recently discovered shale oil has a production cost of $20 to $30 per barrel. With the emergence of shale oil, the United States has become the world’s largest energy reserve country, but the Middle East still has the upper hand in competitiveness.

And the reality is that energy is concentrated in certain areas.

Texas, one of the 50 states in the United States, holds 30% of the country’s oil and gas.

As recently as 1981, Florida boasted the largest production in the United States, producing 34 million barrels, but that figure plummeted to 10,000 barrels in 1985, and now produces just 5,000 barrels.

How did it turn out like this?

Surprisingly, this is a result of Florida’s own actions.

America’s conservatives have pledged to open up oil exploration rights off the coast of the United States to corporations in order to secure energy and create jobs.

Of course, the oil industry welcomed it, but environmental groups and some regions opposed the development, citing concerns about ecosystem destruction.

One of them was Florida,

As the oil spill in Florida occurred, public opinion in Florida turned toward preserving the ecosystem.

As a result, Florida’s energy industry is in decline, so why would Florida pursue policies that lower taxes and benefit the wealthy?

If they didn’t do this, the rich wouldn’t come to Florida, so Florida ended up doing something stupid, and energy hegemony went to Texas.

Orlando and Miami, where the wealthy live, have relatively high incomes, but the rest of the region is virtually in ruins due to lack of jobs.

Then why don’t we develop oil and create jobs now?

However, the local assessment in the US is that the bus has already left, and here is why.

“Florida is now a resort city, so there are a lot of tourists, and of course there are all kinds of amenities and casinos to attract their attention. Do you think you can develop oil in such a pleasure city?”

Why is there a saying that “Mencius’ mother teaches us three thousand lessons”?

In order for a person to work, there must be someone working next to him.

Florida is now a place where rich retirees enjoy a leisurely life, and there are many tourists, so the entire city is a playground.

Do you think people here will ever get used to working hard? There are a lot of homeless people who are trying to make a fortune by picking on tourists’ pockets and going to the casinos.

Even the wealthy have resisted oil development, citing its unsightly appearance, and the state of Florida has also given up on creating jobs, citing concerns that it could shake up the city’s identity.

What would you do if you had the world’s largest energy source?

Policies also have to follow the social atmosphere, and the United States is now a country that focuses on consumption rather than production, so energy development is also sluggish.

The US has become the world’s largest oil producer?

To be precise, Texas has simply risen to the top of the global energy industry.

And Texas is producing energy with investments from Korea Transport, which means that America’s energy business is subordinated to a specific company.

[Texas will create 22,000 new energy jobs this year. It also plans to secure 4,700 mining jobs and spur the production of natural energy using local wind and solar energy.]

Texas is literally growing into the center of America, and everyone knows who owns this place.

Considering that the chairman of Korea Transport and the head of state of South Korea, as well as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Kuwait, are all under his influence, the world’s energy is effectively controlled by one person.

Who would dare challenge that authority?

Who invested and created jobs in Texas while Florida was destroying jobs with ridiculous policies on environmental conservation?

The Korean leader took the lead in doing what no one else wanted to do, so Americans cannot hold him to the standard of a “dictator.”

Who has been pulling American manufacturing up the ladder while Americans are consuming and not producing?

If you knew that reality, you wouldn’t be able to say it’s dictatorship.

Texans also absolutely support the Korean leader who created 110,000 jobs – trust, and above all, the world government’s energy secretary, David Ackerman, was directly appointed by the Korean leader.

In this atmosphere, who would challenge the authority of the Korean leader?

Now that they have taken control of the world’s energy, they can formalize their throne. The five world government executive ministers are pushing for the Korean leader to become the world government president.

“There is no reason to delay any longer, let us elect the Marshal as the President of the World.”

“I think it’s time now. If you won’t come, we’ll have to go and get you ourselves.”

Energy Secretary David Ackerman volunteered to go to Korea.

The government was established, but the position of the World Government President, which still remains vacant, had already been decided long ago and there was nothing more to contend with.

“Your Majesty, would you like a cup of tea?”

“Okay, let’s have a drink.”

This is the Pacific Ocean,

I headed to America under the escort of the World Government Forces.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the AOPR, the predecessor to the World Government, for 18 years, I have quite a few followers in the US military.

Why would I be going to America with a military escort? The quick-witted generals began competing for loyalty in front of me.

“Your Majesty, are you by any chance going to be the President of the World Government this time?”

“Why? Are you trying to get in line with me too?”

“Haha~ Are there only a few people who live off of the Lord’s good deeds? They don’t stand in line, they just try to eat and live.”

“Don’t worry, I will open up all the ways for you to make a living.”

The soldiers have many worries right now.

It is true that the role of the military has become more subtle since the establishment of the world government. Now that war has disappeared, isn’t it possible that the military is being reduced for the reason of focusing on the economy?

But I have no intention of reducing the military.

The authority of the world government is based on enormous financial resources and military power based on these.

Rather than reducing investment in the military, we should increase it.

For reference, the world government budget this year is about $13.8 trillion, and the development frenzy not only in Texas but around the world has increased the world government budget by 1%.

Some of it is going to go to the military, and we’ve already negotiated it with Treasury Secretary Paul Goldman, and $400 billion is going to go to the military next year.

Do you think I, who wants to be the president of the world, would ignore the military?

When something fell into my hands, the generals volunteered to be my bodyguards, and now even the American generals have become my hands and feet that move as I wish.

So I entered Texas without any threats,

The World Government headquarters is in New York, but the inauguration speech was given here.

A trailer for the future center of the United States being Texas, the citizens gathered in the square waved the flag symbolizing the world government and gave a warm welcome.

My ears were burning from the shouts pouring in from all directions,

I raised both hands high and calmed the excited crowd.

“Everyone, I have lived my life thinking only of Korea’s interests. Why? Because I have been the leader of Korea for the past 50 years. What does it mean to me whether people in other countries die or not?

But that too is a thing of the past.

I am now about to take my first steps as President of the World Government.

Of course, it will be a great ordeal for me, because from now on I will have to consider the interests of the whole world.

Perhaps it would have been better to remain the head of state of Korea rather than the president of the world. But in such a region – what is the point of isolationism?

Is it okay if only I live well? Is it okay if only my neighborhood lives well? Is it okay if only our country does well? That kind of isolationism causes wars and destroys world peace.

I live well? That’s important. No one throws stones at that statement.

But wouldn’t it be better to create a world where everyone can live well together?

“If someone next to me is starving while I am eating bread, will that bread taste good? Wouldn’t it be happier to sit around and eat together? Seeing all of you welcoming me like this, I think my thoughts were not wrong.”

“Wow!!!!”

The Texans cheered loudly.

I have developed Korea and the continent, and now I have influence in Texas and California. If I had only thought about satisfying my greed, I would not have created over 70,000 jobs here.

We were able to come this far because we pursued a world where we all eat and live together.

I once again proclaimed my thoughts and governing philosophy to the world.

“To do politics, you need an ideology. You can’t do politics with money alone. If you gather money, people will gather? That kind of materialism is what made America like this.

Look at Florida. It’s now a haven for the wealthy to avoid paying taxes, surrounded by all kinds of tourist attractions and casinos.

In this environment, how can companies create jobs and how can people earn a living by working hard? Everyone just hangs around the casinos, pickpockets, and tries to make a fortune.

Florida has become a state for the rich, and the majority of people still live in poverty. Do you want to live in such a materialistic world, or do you want to create a world where everyone can live well together?

If you agree with my thoughts, I hope you will continue to support me.”

“Wow~!!!!”

The public cheers poured out once again,

Having gained momentum, I ascended to the position of President of the World Government.

Will he be able to keep his promise to make the world a better place? Maybe it was just a hastily made-up lie for the inauguration ceremony.

Even if I become the president of a world government, the center of my power will still be Korea. Can I, like that, promote balanced development in the world?

Maybe it’s impossible.

So, even after the world government was established, he refused to take office as president, but now it is irreversible.

‘There’s no reason not to do what you can do.’

To be honest, I became the President of the World Government because I had the ability to get to that position.

Not doing what you can do is incompetence. If you hesitate when you have the power to change the world, you will only become an indecisive and irresolute person.

If I become the president of the world, I will just prove my abilities.

He chose to become the world’s greatest dictator, not a mediocre democrat.

What trials await us on this path ahead?

My motto is to fight back against whatever comes my way, and I move forward with the attitude of clearing away anything that gets in my way.

This is the nature of a dictator,

No, to be exact, isn’t it my true nature that I’ve been trying to hide all this time?

It wasn’t until I stood on top of the world that I realized my true self.

And this is the driving force behind my sense of responsibility. Would a member of the National Assembly or a local government head who is about to step down after serving for five years think like this?

Those people would just serve out their term and run away as if they didn’t care about what happens next, but I’ve held this position for 50 years based on my power.

I have endured with the mindset that if the world’s order and balance collapses, I too will die.

Then, isn’t dictatorship not always a bad thing?

Power became the driving force of my sense of responsibility, and my belief in bringing order and balance to this world became stronger.
