Seeing Kennedy's beaming smile, if the people present still didn't understand, they could be removed along with their chairs.
Kennedy's words were straightforward and easy to understand.
What excellent Military industrial enterprise? He clearly wanted a piece of the pie!
Kennedy was overtly telling them, want to expand the war?
Fine, but let me join the business.
Don't find it unbelievable that the President himself would negotiate benefits at a high-level official meeting; such meetings are inherently about carving up spoils.
Moreover, apart from Kennedy's people, everyone else present was from the Military industrial complex.
Kennedy's direct exposure was also a way to account for his side.
Everyone exchanged glances; the Military naturally supported it wholeheartedly, but the Military also knew that it would depend on whether the car manufacturing group was willing to share the profits.
The Military industrial complex was not a monolith; among the various representatives, some agreed, others were undecided, and quickly left temporarily to consult their superiors.
Finally, after less than half an hour of discussion, the Military industrial complex also reached a consensus.
They agreed.
Although Kennedy's entry would certainly take away a lot of profit, the President's support could bring even more profit, a calculation the Military industrial complex understood.
Some Military industrial corporations even wondered if Kennedy's previous opposition to expanding the war was just a way to pave the way for himself.
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, just like with the Federal Reserve before; Kennedy had made a big fuss about taking on the Federal Reserve, and now he had relented, hadn't he?
This not only didn't make them look down on Kennedy, but instead made many high-ranking officials and capitalists increasingly feel that Kennedy was unfathomable.
After all, they didn't believe that any President would be so imaginative as to simultaneously offend the Federal Reserve, the Military, and most of the capitalists, right?
The only ones who would express opposition were Kennedy's original supporters, but he could mitigate the impact himself, and once you got on his ship, it wasn't so easy to get off.
Just like he got on Vought Corporation's ship, and now it seems there's no chance to get off.
Incidentally, the Military industrial enterprise Kennedy proposed was named Atlas, also known as Titan.
Fang Yuan personally chose the name, and from it, one could see Fang Yuan's expectations for it.
And it truly lived up to its name; the Titan Group's technology was 20 years ahead of the Call of Duty 11 World, and with Kryptonian technology, Fang Yuan was more than 200 years ahead of this World.
The framework of Atlas Military Industry was quickly built with the support of the Hellfire Club, and other details like production equipment and workers could be slowly added later.
Anyway, Kennedy and the Military industrial complex had agreed to guarantee Atlas Military Industry a baseline share; even if Fang Yuan resold toilet paper, he could sell it at the price of gold.
After all this commotion, although Kennedy abandoned two of his major political stances, his authority as President increased significantly, and many capitalists who had previously opposed him began to gravitate towards him.
After all, a President who deliberately opposes you and a President who can help you make money are naturally treated differently.
The relationship between the Military and Kennedy also eased considerably; with Kennedy's involvement in the Military industrial business, the matter of auditing Military accounts was naturally put aside immediately.
Who would audit themselves?
Of course, news of the Federal Reserve and the Vietnam War soon became known to the outside World.
Many people felt disillusioned with Kennedy, who had made a big show but delivered little; they had thought he was different from others, but he still compromised.
But soon, Kennedy's approval rating didn't drop but increased, because he began to vigorously support the Civil Rights Movement.
He even publicly stated his intention to establish new legislation to protect the rights of minority groups, and progress was already being made at the congressional level!
The main body of minority groups in the United States were basically African Americans.
This caused Kennedy's influence among African Americans to skyrocket.
Kennedy had previously expressed support for African Americans, but this was the first time he had spoken of legislation and shown progress.
As Fang Yuan had said, although they didn't quite agree with Kennedy's attitude, with the Federal Reserve and the Vietnam War as precedents, most capitalists turned a blind eye to the Civil Rights Movement.
After all, society was developing, and some capitalists realized that African Americans' spending power was growing stronger; why was there so much political correctness in later generations?
From the fact that the two Black Panther movies combined grossed 2 billion at the box office, it's clear that capitalists wouldn't do something without benefit.
Of course, for the former Fang Yuan, he only hoped that politically correct companies would go bankrupt sooner; as for the current Fang Yuan...
Black leeks are still leeks, after all.
So, amidst this tumultuous wave, the long-absent The Collector Daily began to exert its influence again.
Because of Vought Corporation's rise, almost everyone knew that The Neutralist Daily and The Observer Daily shared the same owner behind the scenes, but even now, no one has been able to uncover who the owner of The Collector Daily is.
Not even Agents.
Of course, it would be a miracle if they could find out; The Collector Daily was self-sufficient from its inception, and the only clue was when Fang Yuan appeared to purchase the newspaper.
But Fang Yuan was disguised at the time, used a fake identity, and even paid in cash.
It's not that Fang Yuan was overly cautious, but when he founded The Collector Daily, he knew that this thing would attract hatred, so he had to hide himself well.
Facts proved he was right; The Collector Daily's positioning was to be a target against Vought Corporation, first criticizing Mutants, then Awakened, and now Vought Corporation, primarily for the sake of negativity, essentially still expanding its propaganda.
Moreover, many of Vought Corporation's opponents also sought cooperation with The Collector Daily, which allowed Fang Yuan to discover many potential adversaries.
But for the Awakened, The Collector Daily was simply too detestable.
Who could like something that constantly changes its ways to insult them?
To date, there have been many incidents of The Collector Daily's offices being attacked, all by Awakened who were pushed to their breaking point by the insults.
And this time, The Collector Daily had a new trick.
"Hypocritical Vought Corporation, only half an African American among Vought Corporation's official members!"
The article listed the races of Vought Corporation's city members; except for Angel Salvador, all were White, and even Salvador was not a pure African American; she had half an Atlantean bloodline, and Salvador didn't even have her own Superhero nickname!
However, Vought Corporation was not truly to blame for this; Salvador had chosen the nickname Angel for herself, which overlapped with the popular Warren.
Vought Corporation, of course, wouldn't let her piggyback on that popularity, so they asked Salvador to choose another one.
But Salvador refused, so she simply used her name.
Now, the content of The Collector Daily's article was using Salvador as a weapon, directly accusing Vought Corporation of discrimination.
