Chapter 182:
"What's so important that you want to interrupt my meeting?"
The President of Baylor Federation stood in the lounge, somewhat displeased. His principal aide had just interrupted his discussion with several international affairs experts, making him feel he had poor manners. Naturally, his tone wasn't pleasant.
The principal aide sighed with a wry smile, "Mr. President, the bond issue has been exposed. What should we do next?"
Initially, the President of Baylor Federation wore a look of impatience, but upon hearing this news, he immediately became tense.
During the time before the end of the world war, war bonds had always been his proud political maneuver. By purchasing war bonds—a kind of protection fee—the flames of war didn't reach Baylor Federation. Moreover, after the war, these bonds could also be converted into substantial wealth.
Believing it to be the most brilliant policy of his political career, he used the slogan, "We don't need to participate in wars, but we'll still enjoy the spoils of victory," when promoting it, which resonated deeply with the public.
Recently, he had been trying to solve this problem, facing considerable pressure because the entities capable of buying large amounts of these bonds were mainly banks and financial institutions somewhat representing the national stance.
These groups usually operated silently but controlled many people's destinies and were closely tied to people's lives.
His initial intention was to form an alliance with some neutral countries to protect interests, then solve part of the bond issue and calm the public's anxiety, addressing subsequent problems gradually.
