Chapter 598: Preparation
"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Are they Poles or Americans! After seeing the large report on the Polish demonstration in the newspaper and the news of Rutte's return, Roosevelt was completely mad, it seems that just two days ago, he just confessed that he wanted to make the welcome ceremony more lively, to make the distinguished guests feel at home, but now it seems that the excitement is really lively, forget the rest of it....... Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And to Roosevelt's surprise, this is not the end of the story! Don't forget, the whole United States not only has Polish descendants, but also German descendants, although **** has tried its best to leave a large number of people, and now there are fewer German descendants in the United States than in history, but in terms of numbers, there are far more than Polish descendants! And they now have increasingly close economic ties with their German compatriots, and at this time the Poles have made a whole mess, and the German community in the United States cannot bear it either!
Unlike the Poles, who mostly worked as peasants in the countryside, German immigrants and Germans working in the United States were mainly urban dwellers and workers, and with the support of the associations and the strong sponsorship of some people, it was not too easy to create a larger rally. Thus, before Germany and the United States governments could negotiate on a number of issues, a large-scale tearing up of American society broke out.
This is not a fight between an Irish gangster and an Italian gangster in an American gangster movie, and this confrontation is relatively less bloody, (of course, it is certain to hurt a few people and save some blood.) But when it comes to the forces involved, the German government naturally took the talks very seriously, and while issuing a statement of protest against the US government after the incident, it also began to lobby at all levels of the United States.
Although the Poles were organized, they were also very hasty in carrying out this incident, and they did not even expect to touch the nerves of the high-level leaders of the two countries. Moreover, the Polish-American community is not the same as it was in 1914, and they have little connection with politics, but more of a civil organization or as a religious organization, and after the chaos, the Polish-American community, which has no backstage and limited power, has naturally been suppressed by the US government. After all, both Germany and the United States want the deal to be negotiated.
The efficiency of the Americans is still very high, especially in the case of demonstrations like this that do not involve major business groups and important political figures, and there is no resistance from the top, the US government has very neatly resolved the discordant tone that appeared in the welcome ceremony. In an effort to bridge relations between the two countries, the U.S. government decided to reschedule the welcome ceremony in New York, and before that, Ruprecht, accompanied by Secretary of State Rutte, could travel around other places.
After temporarily stabilizing the situation, the U.S. government began to arrange for the negotiations, because the matter was serious, Roosevelt himself went into battle, and Secretary of State Rotte was in charge of communicating with the leaders of the majority parties in Congress. (During Roosevelt's first term, vice president was the ...... vacant.) )
At the same time, the Germans were not idle, and another unofficial non-governmental delegation, led by Count Schelling and Countess Laura, first came to Wall Street and made contact with the American capitalists and their agents, and in the United States, it would be impossible not to deal with these people.
"There are many consortia in the United States, and it is impossible for us to win over all of them, as long as we can win over some of them with related businesses, and at the same time ensure the neutrality of most of the other consortia.
"The first thing that needs to be wooed is naturally the Rockefeller consortium, and the most important reason is naturally the American oil industry that it controls, we lack oil at home, Romania is in a vacillation, and Turkey's oil production is relatively limited and cannot meet our needs. The Americans have huge fuel production and are the best suppliers to build oil reserves in the future, but this family is not trustworthy, and they will still supply oil to the Allies in wartime, and even waver because of economic interests, so we need to use other means to ensure that the Rockefeller consortium is at least neutral. ”
"The Morgan consortium can be trusted, because we have a very good cooperative relationship, many of the empire's railways in Africa are invested and built by the Morgan consortium, and they have the possibility of expanding the scale, although there is a threat of war, but since the Morgan consortium has invested a lot in Africa, as long as we promise more projects, it is unlikely that the political leanings of the Morgan consortium will change."
"The Chicago Consortium is more trustworthy than the Morgan Consortium, the Chicago Consortium is mainly a consortium of American agricultural giants, and their grain and meat will replace Russia as the most important foreign food supplier to the German Empire, and all kinds of civil machinery have been widely used within the Allies, and we are one of the most important partners of the Wood family and the McCormick family in the consortium. The more arable land the German Empire had, the better it was for them, and they competed with Britain and France, which were important agricultural and cash crop exporters, who would not import much grain, but would export a lot. ”
"The Boston consortium is mainly in the textile industry. Our large supply of cheap, high-quality dyes and chemicals is one of the important pillars of the Boston consortium. And because of this, we have a lot of competition with the DuPont consortium, which is the giant of the chemical industry and the arms industry in the United States, and we have fierce competition with them in the United States and the world, so it may be very difficult to win them over, but fortunately they do not have too strong power in finance, and they need the support of other consortiums for financing, and their influence is limited. ”
"The Mellon family is an important bargaining chip for us, they are engaged in the extraction and processing of petroleum products like the Rockefeller consortium, if the Rockefeller consortium does not accept our opinion, we can deepen cooperation with the Mellon consortium, they are a combination of industrial and mining enterprises in the United States, providing the empire with a large amount of copper, manganese and other mineral resources. We are their biggest importer, and that's our biggest advantage. Before meeting with the Wall Street giants, Countess Laura analyzed for Count Schelling.
Although Count Schelling is the nominal supreme representative, Count Schelling has a relatively limited understanding of finance, and in fact the financial negotiations are mainly in charge of Countess Laura, who has become the spokesman of the Bavarian royal family and the Austro-Hungarian Princess Mary family in the financial field.
