Chapter VIII

No one knows what deal Mr. Huntelaar and Wilson made at this meeting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But as has happened in history, Taft and Roosevelt sparked infighting in the Republican Party, with supporters on both sides fighting each other and fighting each other. And with John? With Mr. Huntelaar's support, Wilson successfully won the Democratic candidacy in June and began to make a big splash!

Speeches, newspapers, radio, everywhere filled with Wilson's voice.

That's right, it's the radio!

The world's first commercial radio station with widespread use opened in New York at the end of 1911. After several years of hard work, Tesla Labs of Huntelaar Communications finally succeeded in solving the problems of weak signals and easy radio failures, establishing radio stations throughout New York and producing reliable radios.

These novelties caused a huge sensation before John returned to New York.

This is not the first time that radio and radio have appeared, but it is the first time that such a large-scale application has completely entered the commercial field! For a while, Desheng brand radio quickly became a popular topic among the middle class, and it was a great deal to be able to buy it for less than a hundred dollars, and to listen to the rich program of Radio Huntelaar!

After years of preparation, Radio Huntelaar has a rich program.

In order to prepare for the world's first commercial radio station, John began to prepare them several years in advance, training more than a dozen announcers. Some of these people specialize in current political news, some do entertainment programs, and some do music programs, so they broadcast 12 hours a day, and the quality of the programs is not at all like in 1912......

A huge success, certainly a matter of course.

In the first three months of the radio's launch, more than 1,400 units were sold in New York City alone. With the Huntelaar Bank injecting $15 million into the Huntelaar Broadcasting Company and building signal towers in 60 cities across the United States, a huge radio factory began production in New Jersey, and the world's first broadcasting system, which also covers the whole United States, is taking shape at an astonishing rate.

This kind of speed is the biggest characteristic of the Huntelaar consortium.

If the technology of the broadcasting system and the radio were to be commercially available, in fact, it would have been commercially available for a long time ago, but no matter how many reports were made by the people below, John never allowed them to be fully rolled out except for an experimental broadcast network. It wasn't until the technology was really perfected that tens of millions of dollars were invested in one go, and construction started at the same time in the United States!

If you don't move, you can, and if you move, you'll occupy it completely!

Not to mention the absolute monopoly of Huntelaar Communications in technology, just this kind of lightning speed and execution, even if other companies want to keep up quickly, it is not even a few years to think about it. And a few years is enough time for the newly established Huntelaar Broadcasting Company to gain a firm foothold, set up one standard after another, and establish a well-deserved hegemony of national broadcasting!

And......

While authorizing the Huntelaar Broadcasting Company to use the patent to assist them in building the broadcasting network, the Huntelaar Communications Company was not idle, but in the John? At the request of Mr. Huntelaar, the R&D team was divided into two, and some of them continued to study broadcasting technology and radio, and constantly improved; Others began to study the principles of mechanical and electronic scanning, and entered what Mr. Huntelaar called visual communication......

……

For various reasons, John did not publicly show his support for Wilson.

After all, the personal relationship with the two Republican presidents was good, so John still had a lot of concerns, in case history went a little wrong and Roosevelt and Taft reconciled, then investing in Wilson would be a matter of no return. Especially at the critical moment when the First World War was about to break out, John would never allow himself to make such a mistake.

Therefore, support for Wilson can only be carried out in secret.

The audience for radio is currently very small and not mainstream, and it can certainly be offered to Wilson; Whether the various companies of the Huntelaar consortium support it or not, can be left to Wilson to fight for, and John will not interfere, the most important thing is financial support, John quietly took out a million dollars and provided Wilson to use through various secret channels. This has been going on for a long time, and Huntelaar Bank can guarantee that no one can find out where the funds are coming from.

Although not very happy with this, Wilson knew that this was already the best condition.

And on the surface, John also maintained a more intimate personal relationship with Wilson, which was perhaps more important to Wilson. Especially in this day and age, when the influence of the Huntelaar consortium is growing and John himself is on the altar, their personal relationship will definitely give Wilson a lot of points. And John also promised that Wilson could promote it, and he would not deny it.

As for the two Republican bigwigs, John can only say sorry.

If history could change drastically, and Taft's relationship with Roosevelt would have improved, rather than continuing the infighting, John wouldn't have particularly minded choosing one to continue supporting. After all, everyone has cooperated for so many years, and there is a certain tacit understanding between them, even if there are some differences because of the British affairs, it is not a big deal after all. But the inertia of history is so strong, and Roosevelt and Taft fatally embarked on the road of confrontation, so John had no choice.

The next decade will be extremely important for the Huntelaar consortium.

Whether he wanted to make money on the battlefields of Europe or help China embark on the path of modern education and industry in the Far East, John needed the unsparing support of the U.S. government. This also means that in addition to encircling more politicians, the relationship with the president of the United States must always be close!

Therefore, Wilson, who supports the fisherman's profit, seems to be inevitable.

And to tell the truth, as a glorious traveler, apart from the affairs of China, the last person who wants to change in other aspects and history is probably John. If it weren't Wilson who became president, but Roosevelt or Taft, would the attitude of Americans towards the war in Europe change? Will you join the fray early?

The role played by a president should never be underestimated.

So even if John doesn't come forward directly, he will give Wilson enough support in all aspects. In addition to the huge campaign funds, there are also some shady things that fully support Wilson to come to power......

The events turned out just as John had predicted.

won the Democratic Party's candidacy smoothly, and then at the beginning of the US election in the second half of the year, because of Roosevelt's split of the Republican Party, Wilson won the US presidency without danger!

On the day the news broke, John immediately called to congratulate him.

When Wilson ascended to the presidency of the United States, John was also secretly relieved. Because of some of the deals he made with Wilson at the beginning, many things finally had some bottom in his heart......
