When the Prinz Eugen sailed into Alexandria, Chen Dao stood on the foredeck, pointed to Alexandria, and said to the adjutants behind him: "This is Alexander, where I once fought. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Major Lorenz followed with emotion: "Compared to the last time we came here, this place is much more prosperous. ”

From a distance, the wharf of Alexandria is full of large and small ships, both warships and transport ships.

The flags hoisted on the ships are also varied, such as the Italian tricolor, the British rice flag, the American Stars and Stripes, and of course, the German swastika.

The Prinz Eugen slowly approached, and Chen Dao walked down the gangway and warmly greeted his business partner, Marshal Graziani, an old comrade-in-arms who came to greet him at the dock.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Graziani pointed to an old man who looked to be in his sixties, well-dressed and imposing, and said, "This is Mr. John Rockefeller Jr., a friend from the United States." ”

Chen Dao shook hands with John Rockefeller Jr. and felt that Rockefeller's hand was very strong.

Chen Dao greeted Rockefeller in a native American English.

Rockefeller and Chen Dao greeted each other warmly, but they were surprised in their hearts.

According to the information he has at his disposal, this young outrageous German magnate was born in Sweden and grew up in Germany, and has always privately boasted of being a Chinese expert.

None of this is surprising, but it is strange that under the influence of the British Empire, people on the European continent basically use the British accent as the standard when learning English, and Marshal Graziani next to him is one of the examples.

The General Rosen in front of him spoke authentic American English, and it sounded like a West Coast California accent.

According to the information, this General Rosen has only been to the United States once, and his total stay is no more than a month.

Then, his American English is doubtful.

Could it be that under the label of General Rosen's China expert, there is still an identity hidden in the United States?

Chen Dao didn't know that after a few words, his accent gave an old Jianghu like Rockefeller a new understanding of himself.

After greetings, the trio drove straight to the most luxurious hotel in Alexandria.

All three are busy people, and after taking their seats at the hotel, there is no nonsense and goes straight to the point.

Marshal Graziani said: "The two shareholders of our Black Gold Oil Company are here, Mr. Rockefeller, if you have no doubts about the previous agreement, we will buy each other's thirty percent of the shares according to the agreement. Speaking of which, you have taken a big advantage, and our company's stock price is much cheaper. ”

Rockefeller smiled implicitly.

"Aramco's profits are much larger than those of Black Gold, and you're the ones who take advantage."

The Aramco oil company in Rockefeller's mouth, the full name is California-Arabian Mobil Oil Company.

In 1933, the Mobil Oil Company of California signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to obtain the privilege of exploring, extracting, processing, transporting and marketing oil in eastern Saudi Arabia for 66 years. In the same year, the California-Arabian Mobil Oil Company was launched.

By 1939, the company had granted two-thirds of the territory of Saudi Arabia.

The Middle East, which was originally the sphere of influence of Britain, progressed as the war progressed, and the Axis bloc marched into the Middle East in a big way, uprooting British power.

Thinking of the northern and southern garrisons of Saudi Arabia, the German and Italian garrisons, and the pro-German forces within the Saudi Arabian royal family, Rockefeller felt the need to communicate with the Axis powers, just because the Axis powers were allies of Japan, and they were somewhat undecided.

With the storm of Rabe's Diary, Japan being kicked out of the Axis bloc, Germany declaring war on Japan, and Rockefeller finally made up his mind to go to Europe.

Before leaving, Rockefeller conducted an extensive probing and an oil company called Black Gold caught his attention.

The two shareholders of the Black Gold Oil Company were Marshal Graziani, the Italian governor in North Africa, and the Polish governor of Germany.

After learning about these inside things, Rockefeller decisively decided that there was a big business to be done here.

The Black Gold Oil Company was established in 1940 after Chen Dao entered North Africa, and was officially established after the end of the war in North Africa.

At Chen's strong request, the company's engineers went straight to Libya in search of oil.

In less than half a year, engineers were able to find oil in the desert south of the Libyan port of Brega, and it was shallow and difficult to extract.

With the investment of large sums of money, by the end of 1942, Libyan oil production had reached 7,000 barrels (about 1,000 tons) per day.

After Rockefeller came to the door, after several negotiations, the two sides finally decided to buy 30 percent of each other's shares in the name of Aramco and Black Gold Oil.

After the two parties finalized some details of the signing of the contract, they moved on to the next business.

"Half of the loan provided to you by our country has been received, and I heard that you want to use some of it to purchase supplies in the United States, and as a partner, I hope you can take more care of my business." Rockefeller said.

Chen Dao said: "Speaking of which, this loan business is only possible thanks to Mr. Rockefeller's great assistance. You can rest assured that our country has determined that it will spend at least two billion dollars on purchases in the United States. We will first put this money in Mr.'s Chase Bank so that we can call it at any time when we make purchases. ”

"Okay, that's good, you want to buy those supplies, I want to see if I can help." Rockefeller said.

Chen Dao scolded in his heart, this old fox is obviously making a lot of money by himself, but it sounds like he is helping others.

Chase Bank was founded in 1930 by Rockefeller's fourth son through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and was the largest bank in the world at that time.

In 1930, the United States and the world economy were in the midst of the Great Depression, and most banks were struggling, but Rockefeller's Chase Bank was still doing thriving business.

The Rockefeller family's business covers metallurgy, munitions, automobiles, aircraft, chemicals, rubber, food, insurance, and other industries, and its family strength even has a huge impact on the domestic and foreign affairs of the US federal government.

The Democrats belong to the Morgan family, and the Republicans belong to the Rockefeller family.

The influence of the Rockefeller family on the United States can be seen from this.

A significant portion of that loan from the United States came from Chase.

The real meaning of Rockefeller's help is that you can sell goods and collect interest on the loan from my bank loan to my other industries.

Chen Dao figured out the joints, and said after deliberation: "This is the war era, and the materials we want to purchase must of course be war-oriented. We plan to introduce penicillin (penicillin) production lines and technologies, with Farben Chemical in charge and Solon Group investing in pharmaceutical plants. We need 200 Liberty ships to supply the troops on the expedition to India, and we need 20 landing craft carriers for the Marines. There are also strategic bombers to bomb Russia, and in the future they will also be used to bomb the Japanese mainland, which can be B-17, but preferably B-29. On the Army side, we need less of what we need, just Motorola cordless phones. ”

Chen Dao said a lot, Rockefeller nodded again and again, and the secretary next to him wrote down Chen Dao's needs.

After Chen Dao finished speaking, Rockefeller said: "General Rosen's Solon Group also involves a wide range of businesses, I am very interested, and I am looking forward to in-depth cooperation with the Solon Group." I met with General Marshall before I came here, and he was amazed by the achievements of your army, especially the construction of your army, which is at the forefront of the world. He hopes to be able to buy a batch of equipment from your country, such as the E-40 tank, and to study it, and he hopes that General Rosen will help to facilitate this matter in the face of our allies. ”

"The E-40 can be sold, but not too much." Chen Dao said.

"Not too many, five will do."

"What else do you need, write me a list, and I'll have someone go back and prepare."

A business meeting begins and ends in a friendly atmosphere.

The two sides agreed to have dinner together and then parted ways, and Chen Dao and Marshal Graziani said: "Have you heard that the Americans are also going to send troops to India to fight." ”

"Is there anything wrong with this? The vanguard of the Americans has arrived in Alexandria, and will later set out with you for India, and you will meet them at today's dinner. ”

After a short rest, Chen Dao saw several people wearing American military uniforms at the dinner.

Seeing the officer who was wearing the rank of four-star general, Chen Dao suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.

Should I find a sought-after player and shoot him with a black gun?

The American general, who had a bare forehead and no hair, was known to anyone who cared even a little about politics and the military.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Allied commander-in-chief who commanded the Allied landings in Normandy, served as president of the United States after World War II.

Eisenhower, with several officers, walked directly to Chen Dao and stretched out his hand to Chen Dao.

"I'm Admiral Dwight D. Eisenhower, and it's a pleasure to meet you, General Rosen."

Chen Dao pressed the thought of shooting the black gun in his heart, and after a few words of greeting, he asked, "General Eisenhower, how many people are you going to send to India?" ”

"The first group to go to India was the Seventh Army led by me, but at present there are only the headquarters of the Army I led and the vanguard of the Second Army. Along the way, we also asked General Lawson to escort us, so that the Japanese Combined Fleet would not come to us in trouble. ”

The two exchanged a few kind words, and Eisenhower walked up to Rockefeller and talked to him.

Chen Dao saw that the two of them looked like old acquaintances, and his heart moved.

After wandering for a while, Chen Dao walked up to the two and joined the conversation.

After talking for a while, Chen Dao seemed to ask casually, "Is General Eisenhower a Democratic Party or a Republican?" ”

"I prefer the Republican Party." Eisenhower said.

Sure enough, his memory is correct, Eisenhower later participated in the US election as a Republican.

And behind the Republican Party stood Rockefeller.

The current US president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, is a Democrat.

Can you bring him over in the united front?

If the united front fails, it is not too late to shoot again.
