Meyer. Rothschild was first involved in the antiques business, and his first major client was the Duke of Hesse, lord of the German Hesse-Kassel region. The Hesse-Kassel region has a tradition of providing mercenaries to the rest of Europe. At that time, Britain frequently used foreign troops and was the main customer of the Duke of Hesse.

During the American Revolution, Hessian mercenaries were an important part of the British army.

Britain and France competed for power, and the French emperor Napoleon naturally looked at the Duke of Hesse unpleasantly and wanted to find him trouble. The Duke of Hesse fled from Frankfurt to Denmark and, before leaving, handed over to Meyer the three million pounds he had paid to him by England. Rothschild custodianship.

So, Meyer. Rothschild used the money to create his financial empire.

Of course, Meyer. Rothschild did not take the money away, and after the Duke of Hesse returned to Frankfurt, Meyer. Rothschild returned the principal to the Duke of Hesse with interest.

Meyer. To the Duke of Hesse, Rothschild was roughly the equivalent of a savings bank.

Now, Kwan Zhuofan and J.P. Morgan are going to be the savings bank of the Rothschild family.

It's so cool.

Kwan Zhuofan agreed to J.P. Morgan's proposal, and asked him to discuss the specific matters with Sandos.

J.P. Morgan didn't expect Kwan Zhuofan to agree so happily and was overjoyed.

Kwan Zhuofan was overjoyed: Rockefeller on the left, J.P. Morgan on the right, the future United States of America, I want to share a full share.

Two young people, do a good job.

Before J.P. Morgan said goodbye, Kwan remembered something and said, "John. I know that the federal government is ready to issue a war bond. Are you interested in becoming an underwriter? ”

J.P. Morgan's eyes lit up! Issuance of war bonds. Before the Battle of Atlanta was a hard job, but after the Battle of Atlanta, it was a bad thing. War bonds are in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and the commissions for successful underwriting and issuance are extremely considerable.

And, it's what he does best.

"Of course, Your Excellency, I am more than happy to work for the federal government."

"Well, I'll write to President Lincoln and Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Chase Chess. I recommend you to be the lead underwriter. ”

"Thank you so much, Lord Duke. I think this is the first business of our new trading house, right? ”

Haha.

After J.P. Morgan left, Kwan Zhuofan and Sandos talked about other matters.

Grant's debt problem has been satisfactorily resolved, and Kwan Zhuofan has received a tactfully worded thank you letter from Grant.

Then there is the question of "monetization" of loot.

Sandoz's eyes lit up: this is a great business! Moreover, it is simply "out of nothing", without any real risks and costs.

But the difficulty for Sandos was that he was getting busier and busier now, and even busier when he and J.P. Morgan set up a new firm. He had to stay in the north most of the time, and it was difficult to follow Guan Zhuofan's army from beginning to end.

Guan Zhuofan groaned: "What do you think of Willy. How's Hill the man? ”

Sandos said, "I've heard his name before. This man has a reputation for being stingy. But doing business is still trustworthy. Moreover, trade, whether domestic or overseas, is his forte. I think it's appropriate for him to do this. ”

So, Guan Zhuofan and Sandos went to Willy. Hill Mansion, visit Willy. Mr. Hill.

After the pitiful welcome reception, Commander-in-Chief Kwan visited Willy. Hill Mansion has been made countless times, and this is the first time that "Willy" has been visited in the true sense of the word. Mr. Hill".

Willie. Hill was amazed and hospitable.

Kwan Zhuofan to Willy. Hill introduced Sandos, and then said, "Sandy, please tell Mr. Hill about it." ”

Willie. When Hill understood what he meant, he could hardly believe his ears: Is there really such a big pie in the sky that fell and hit me?

At the moment, he excitedly said that he would not do all the other business at hand, and he would go all out to do this errand for Commander-in-Chief Guan.

This is an extremely cumbersome and extensive matter, and it is necessary to discuss it carefully with the quartermaster department of the Western Theater and the grain station of the Xuan Army. It is necessary to set up a special department to take charge of its affairs, and coordinate a sufficient number of professionals to participate in it, both in the military and at the local level. In addition, how to cooperate with the combat units, including the navy, how to use the lines of communication in the rear, how to organize the emancipated black slaves, and so on, must be carefully studied and planned.

It is even more important to prepare enough domestic and overseas sales channels in advance.

Sandoz will also spend a short time in Atlanta to work with Willy. Hill and others discussed the matter.

The big frame was laid down and the details were laid down by Sandos and Willy. Hill and the others pondered, but Kwan Zhuofan was not involved, so they invited Mrs. Mardan and Miss Arendt to come out and meet Mr. Sandos.

Willie. Hill roughly guessed what Kwan Zhuofan meant, but Jacqueline and Mia wondered: what do you mean?

Later, when Kwan Zhuofan and Miss Lady were alone, they understood what it meant.

When Sandoz left Atlanta, Kwan had him in charge of escorting Jacqueline and Mia north to New York.

That is, they will soon be separated from their lovers.

Both women's eyes were red, and Mia's beautiful blue eyes overflowed with tears.

Guan Zhuofan knew that the "sorrow" between him and Jacqueline and Mia was not the saddest thing, after all, it would not be long before Zaijian.

The two of them are southerners, born and raised in Sri Lanka, and their homeland is difficult to give up, so I don't know when they will be able to return to their hometown? This is the most gloomy heart.

Guan Zhuofan once promised Jacqueline to accompany her back to Jonesboro after the war, but he could only find a way to break his promise. Because, the once idyllic Jonesborough was scorched all over the post-war scorched earth, including Jacqueline's "Tara", which had been burned to the ground.

Seeing the sadness of the people, let's keep that beautiful hometown in her memory.

Although uncomfortable, there was no objection, Jacqueline and Mia were mentally prepared to know that this arrangement was for the good of both of them.

After being silent for a while, Guan Zhuofan said softly: "There is still something in my camp, go back first, you two stay well." ”

Both of them were stunned: "You...... Don't stay? ”

Guan Zhuofan was blessed to his heart, and immediately smiled narrowly: "Miss Arendt is willing to stay, I will stay." ”

Both beauties blushed.

There is an allusion to this.

Since receiving Mia's "gift", Guan Zhuofan has come to Willy again. Hill's mansion must be evenly punished with rain and dew, and one cannot be favored over the other. So, when he came out of his sister's room, he had to rush to his sister's room, so back and forth, running back and forth, running back and forth, Rao is Guan Zhuofan worked hard in the army, and he couldn't help laughing at himself "pain and happiness".

Finally once, Guan Zhuofan asked tentatively: Otherwise, let's be together?

The sisters figured out what he meant, and Jacqueline blushed, and before she could say anything, Mia's little fist came over.

Never mind.

And this time?

Jacqueline's pale green eyes were moist and misty, and she met Mia's gaze, turned her head and said nothing.

Mia bit her lip, her face flushed to the point of fire.

Half loud, opened, the voice was almost inaudible: "Okay......"

The next spring light flowed, but I didn't see the truth, and I didn't dare to describe it in detail.

Kwan Cheuk Fan and Sandos leave the Willy Hill Mansion together.

On the way, Guan Zhuofan said: "Shandy, in this presidential election, President Lincoln's running mate is a Democrat named Johnson, right?" ”

Sandoz smiled: "Yes, there is also a main battle in the Democratic Party, and President Lincoln chose this Johnson to divide the Democratic Party, but before the Battle of Atlanta, I didn't see any effect." Grandpa Guan, if you hadn't taken Atlanta, this pair of partners, just like the newspaper said, packed some luggage and went home. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said: "This Johnson turned out to be the wartime governor of Tennessee, and when I was in Chattanooga, I also crossed paths with him, and I got along well. This time you return to Washington, D.C., and want to make good friends with him, just in my name, and I have already sent him a congratulatory telegram alone. ”

He paused and added: "As long as he accepts it, he can give as many gifts as he wants, and I congratulate him on winning the election." ”

Sandos felt slightly strange, listening to Guan Zhuofan's tone, he really valued the future vice president. But in the United States at that time, the vice president was not really important, just a standby. Guan Zhuofan has such a deep relationship with Lincoln himself, as well as Grant, Sherman and others, who are destined to be in power after the war, that there is no need to particularly tie up a vice president.

Of course, it's not a bad thing to have one more way, so I solemnly agreed.

Sandos didn't notice that Guan Zhuofan's eyes had a faint hint of gloom.

Guan Zhuofan raised his head, and it was already twilight on the horizon of Atlanta.
