But for other arms companies, this is a good opportunity for them to showcase themselves.

As for why there is such concentration, the reason is very simple. It is thanks to the current president Benjamin.

Benjamin is a left-wing Democrat. When he was campaigning, he promised to reduce military spending and devote more budget to people's livelihood and economic issues. This was not a big statement, and every presidential candidate would do it anyway.

But Benjamin was different. He began to implement his campaign promises as soon as he came to power.

The US military budget in 2008 was US$607 billion, but this year's budget was cut by US$5 billion! Although military bosses and many members of Congress expressed opposition to this budget, it was a pity that it was useless. After the Iraq War, the United States

The public's trust in the US military has begun to decrease year by year, and too much money has been spent in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The vast majority of Americans have no idea where these two countries are, and even if you give them a map, they can't find them.

More importantly, they only saw the number of casualties and how much the military spent. They did not see the benefits of the war at all. Coupled with the economic crisis, the people were already very, very dissatisfied with the high military expenditures of the US military.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Why did Benjamin become the president as the youngest candidate?

It's not because he caters to the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.

After coming to power, Benjamin's consistently high approval ratings have forced all opponents to stay away from him.

Regardless of the budget compared to hundreds of billions, 5 billion is very small. But please note that this is Benjamin's first year in office, and he still has four years left in office. And if he does well, he is very likely to be re-elected...

Not to mention, those budgets are all owned by someone. If there is a shortfall of 5 billion, then someone must take less.

No one wants their funds cut off.

Arms dealers especially don’t want it. After all, reduced orders not only mean reduced profits, but also mean stock prices will fall! This is the most intolerable. In fact, since Benjamin was sworn in, the stocks of major arms dealers began to slowly but surely

of decline.

Those arms giants began to lobby both houses of Congress in the hope of rejecting the president's budget bill.

But again, Benjamin now represents public opinion. Public opinion hopes to reduce military spending, and it is impossible for those members of the two houses of Congress to really go against public opinion. Although the electoral system of the United States determines that they are governed by elites, the interference of public opinion is not so obvious.

But it’s impossible for them to really not care at all. If there was a universal suffrage system like those in Europe (one person, one vote), military spending would be reduced even more severely.

(You can search the difference between the two on Baidu, it’s very interesting)

Besides, although the U.S. military has great influence, it cannot cover the sky with one hand. They cannot represent the interests of all political forces. Since the military budget has been reduced, it means that others can take more. Naturally, there is a group of people

Stand up and support the president.

So one back and forth led to Benjamin gaining the upper hand and the budget passed.

Now that it is an established fact, we can only think of solutions elsewhere.

How to find a solution?

Of course, they steal it from other people.

So the major arms groups that were originally fighting against the president immediately began to target each other.

This resulted in major arms companies flourishing, bringing out their latest and best products to compete for orders.

At the expo held by Stark himself, he did not prepare much for new weapons, but the other party took advantage of it. It is said that Tony Stark and the Stark Group's board of directors were very unhappy and were trying to find ways to make amends.

But this raises another problem.

The United States has various political factions, and there are many political groups that long for peace and oppose war.

Now that a group of American arms companies have displayed so many destructive weapons, these groups will naturally be unhappy.
