Trade Canned Goods for an Aircraft Carrier: Eagle Sauce, Keep Your Head Down

In 1991, the Bear fell apart.

In 1991, I ran a little canned-food workshop.

I'm just a guy selling canned food. There's nothing wrong with having a self-defense force, is there?

In 1992, I turned it into a heavy industry factory.

Foreign media: "What? You cut rifling into steel pipes and still claim you're not a defense contractor?"

In 1993, I wanted to sell my canned food around the world. Building a few planes is perfectly normal, right?

In 1994, I dabbled in U.S. stocks and made a trillion dollars. Totally normal, right?

In 1995, Somali pirates tried to steal my canned food?

Damn it, just wait until I trade with the Bear for an aircraft carrier.

From then on, at the negotiating table:

"I won't let anyone raise their voice at me!"

Being strangled by a foreign power? Not happening!

Uncle Sam: "We're going to impose economic sanctions on the Dragon Nation!"

Su Ming: "The wind's picking up. Let's let a little capital take flight and show those gangster Yankees what an economic crisis looks like!"
