Chapter 1272: Chapter 502 Red Diamond_2 Chapter 1272: Chapter 502 Red Diamond_2 Lu Pingping wasn't very clear about what trump cards Dream Island had, but she was still intimidated by the United States of America's formidable military strength, so she had an inherent fear of the United States of America. However, confronting the United States of America was Yan Fei's strategic purpose, so even with some concerns, Lu Pingping would still help Yan Fei achieve this goal.

Lu Pingping reminded, “Fei, the former President of the United States of America is trying to use domestic law to exert long-arm jurisdiction over other countries and enterprises around the world, aiming to isolate Dream Island economically and politically. How should we respond?”

Yan Fei replied, “You don't have to worry about that at all. We control the oil resources that the Western World desperately needs, so to get the oil, no one will break ties with us. Even if the United States of America puts pressure on them, it won't work. This time, their strategies of alliance are doomed to be futile.”

Lu Pingping said, “But the United States of America also has a large oil reserve domestically, and they possess a strong oil production capacity. Moreover, their shale oil output has increased greatly recently. If they step up their shale oil production, they could satisfy the entire Western World's demand for oil, and we would have a hard time leveraging oil to achieve our strategic purposes.”

Yan Fei said, “Our oil futures trading market is preparing to use the Euro as one of the settlement currencies, with the aim of courting European countries. As long as there are strategists in European countries, they will naturally see our purpose. I believe they will definitely not cooperate with the United States of America in suppressing Dream Island, because that would be damaging their own interests.”

Seeing Lu Pingping fall into thought, Yan Fei sneered, “It's said that the management of the shale oil enterprises in the United States of America is very irregular, with huge risks of fire hazards. Maybe one day their shale oil wells will catch fire, or even explode… At that time, not only will the United States of America be unable to provide oil to its Western allies, but it will also be unable to meet its own domestic oil demand and will have to come to us, Dream Island.”

Hearing Yan Fei's icy words, Lu Pingping shivered. Yan Fei had made it very clear; if the United States of America really attempted to use oil to win over its Western allies, he would definitely sabotage the United States of America's oil production and ally-gathering plan, monopolizing Dream Island's oil sales globally. At that point, even the United States of America would have to come to Dream Island, not to mention its Western allies.

Lu Pingping now understood Yan Fei's strategy and realized he was somewhat obsessive. To avenge Wen Rou, he would stop at nothing. She could no longer see the kind and shy Yan Fei she knew before, all of which was brought about by the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, Lu Pingping also understood the grief in Yan Fei's heart, so she secretly vowed, even if it meant becoming the enemy of the entire world, she would assist Yan Fei in completing his strategic plan. She was Yan Fei's closest person and his support. Even if the rest of the world didn't understand Yan Fei, she would continue to support him forever! Only by helping Yan Fei defeat the United States of America could Yan Fei let go of his obsession and return to his normal state.

Not wanting to continue discussing the issue with Yan Fei, Lu Pingping asked, “Fei, you mentioned before that Dream Island is going to issue its own currency. Are you thinking of linking our currency to our huge oil reserve?”

Yan Fei replied, “Oil is not a scarce resource. In fact, there are still many undiscovered oil resources underground, and its future is not bright, as it is about to be replaced by our clean energy. So linking Dream Island's currency with oil is not the best option. But don't worry, I've found the best carrier for Dream Island's currency.”

After that, Yan Fei took Lu Pingping to an underground secret warehouse in the central area of Dream Island. The warehouse was still very secure, with powerful automated weapons everywhere at the entrance, all controlled by the Artificial Intelligence named “Dream.” Apart from Yan Fei, no one else could enter.

When Lu Pingping entered the huge secret warehouse and saw the neatly piled mountain of gold bricks, she was dumbfounded and said, “Are my eyes deceiving me? Are these gold bricks really made of gold? There are too many of them…”

Pointing at the mountain of gold in front of them, Yan Fei said, “The composition of these gold bricks is entirely of real gold, and their purity is at 99.99%, made of pure gold. Their quantity reaches a total of 150,000 tons, five times the gold reserve of other countries in the world. Based on the current market price, their total value amounts to 8 trillion US Dollars.”

Lu Pingping exclaimed, “Wow, these are really gold bricks! There are so many of them; I never imagined I would see this much gold in my lifetime…”

Yan Fei casually took a gold brick and handed it to Lu Pingping. She caught the gold brick with both hands and immediately realized that it weighed at least fifty kilograms. With her strength, she couldn't hold it steady, and her hands slipped, causing the gold brick to drop to the ground, deforming one of its corners.

Yan Fei picked up the damaged gold brick, threw it into the corner like trash, and said, “Pingping, from now on, all these 150,000 tons of gold are yours to use. You can use these gold bricks however you like.”

Lu Pingping hadn't yet recovered from the shock of seeing so much gold and said in a daze, “Fei, could I use these gold bricks to build myself a Golden Castle? It's been my dream since I was a child…”
