Chapter 15: Congressional Speeches I

The container is not as big as later generations, after all, container cranes are needed for loading and unloading, but this kind of thing has not yet been made, and can only be designed to be smaller, but Wesley has specified the model of the container in the future, which is his patent, and he needs to use his standard if he wants to use it.

Wesley didn't have to wait long, and after taking care of some corporate matters, he was notified to give a speech on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., three days later.

Wesley left the military academy and went straight to Washington, D.C., but the traffic was really unbearable now, and it took him three days to get to Washington's capital in New York State.

After a night's rest, he was picked up early the next morning, "Young man, don't be nervous, talk about it well, you don't know, after I came back, I worked hard with Mr. President, and this is why I have this speech." Wesley, who Pershing had personally picked up, spoke to him in the carriage.

"Don't worry, I still know these guys well, and all they need is benefits."

"Can you give them benefits?"

"Of course." Wesley said confidently.

Wesley will be speaking in the hall of Congress, and Pershing will take Wesley directly to familiarize himself with the venue, the central podium, facing the semi-circular seats arranged in a trapezoidal shape, and there is a second-story platform around it, which can accommodate a lot of people.

After waiting for an hour, Wesley straightened his military uniform, tucked his military hat under his arm, and walked directly into the hall, where the chatter fell silent for a moment.

Wesley stepped up to the podium, put his military hat on the table, and then looked around for a week before saying, "You should all know me, and many people know me better, after all, I have encountered hundreds of assassinations in a year, and I think my reputation should be very high in the United States." ”

Wesley's words made the scene quiet, this kind of thing was directly brought to the table, this guy is really bold, the congressmen are the spokesmen of the consortium, although the American consortium is not very powerful now.

Wesley looked at them and laughed, "Do you know why I'm successful?" Do you know how to make money? It seems to me that you don't know how to make money at all, a bunch of stupid guys, you know how to exploit the workers all the time, more than ten hours of labor, what can I say? It can only be said that you are stupid, you pay the workers, and they can't spend it, because they don't have the time and strength. ”

Chi Guoguo's taunt didn't save a little face, Pershing was nervous, but he couldn't interrupt Wesley, this is Capitol Hill! This young man is also too crazy, the councillor has already fried the pot, and he actually scolded them directly here.

However, Wesley did not pay any attention to their cries and would not respond to them, but continued: "Do you know why I have an eight-hour workday? Because these eight hours are the most abundant time for people, and there is an hour of rest in between, then the workers only need to stay in the factory for nine hours a day. So that they have the energy to go home and they can go out and consume it, even if it's a beer. In this way, the farmer, the wine merchant and the tavern make money, is this the truth? ”

Wesley asked, and while the councillors below fell silent, Wesley continued: "Money, if it flows, it is money, and if it is put there, it is a number, so how do you flow?" Wesley looked down again, "Look, you don't know, so you can't do it, you can only use some shady means, it's easy to clean you up, do you want to try?" ”

Mr. President couldn't stand it anymore, "Ahem......" sat on the side and coughed, Wesley smiled happily, he was not afraid of anyone, now he doesn't even have a nuclear bomb, who is he climbing?

"Now I'm going to talk about the army in our country, there are two states of soldiers, one is war loading, and the other is war readiness, but now look at our army, how many infantry divisions are full?"

Wesley's two states lit up the eyes of the generals who were listening below, and they began to look forward to it.

"You don't understand this, so I'm still talking about money, how to make money? The army needs equipment, and the equipment is not only weapons, but also clothes, shoes, summer clothes, winter clothes, food, cigarettes, and of course, the pockets of the soldiers. There are so many unemployed, why not put them in the barracks? And warships, you feel the danger before you build, but how many businesses can one warship support? ”

"The research and development of military equipment has also led to the people's technology, don't you see? Do you see that technology can increase productivity and save production costs? What does Britain rely on to be so rich? It's a colony, but you always hold on to what is in front of you, we don't need a colony, we need free trade, but how do you get free trade? Strength, gentlemen, you are doing research here, but how to solve the problem? Strength, or strength. ”

"Without strength, we can't guarantee anything, without strength, your demands are just a bunch of shit, without strength, we can't even sell goods, the strength we need." Wesley finally roared.

Then he quickly quieted down again, and continued: "The war in Europe will soon burn, I think many people know this, but how long will the war last on the battlefield? A lot of people say it's over in a few months, but I say no, a new pattern of war has emerged, and this war will sweep the whole world, involving dozens of countries and hundreds of millions of people, and it will take years to end, maybe you don't believe it. ”

"But it doesn't matter, it's not your specialty, you just need to know how to make money, strengthen the army, improve the standing army and reserves, this is the top priority."

"Officer, are you trying to sell your arms?" A councillor suddenly shouted below.

"Hehe, if the United States doesn't buy it, won't I sell it abroad? It's not going to be a good thing that no one wants, even if I don't have to worry about just selling patents and designs, don't you understand what I just said? It seems that you haven't learned how to make money yet, but it doesn't matter, I think someone will learn it, and if you want to make money, you have to make money circulate, so that workers have time to spend, it's as simple as that. ”

Wesley paused again, the following guys have begun to think, scolding them is just a trivial matter, letting them make money is a big thing, Wesley has studied these guys very clearly, in this era, you must have money, or someone to support you, otherwise you can't be elected at all.
