Chapter 1091: Wall Street's Abacus

"500 billion Euromarks for the British and French islands of Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras and the Caribbean Sea ......"

White House, Oval Office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoPresident Roosevelt, who looked very bad, leaned back in his chair and looked at Assistant Secretary of State Nelson. Rockefeller.

"Do you think the 500 billion euromarks are worth it?" Roosevelt asked himself, "If the land transactions were purely in terms of land transactions, the British and French islands in Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras, and the Caribbean Sea would certainly be worth more than 500 billion European marks." 500 billion euromarks is equivalent to only $200 billion, and the United States now spends more than $80 billion a year on military spending. And 500 billion euromarks is still their offer, not without room for counteroffer.

But can Wall Street agree to such a deal? What the United States has to pay for is certainly not the paper produced by the printing press, but real money...... This is the basis of money! Nelson, am I right? ”

Nelson. Rockefeller lifted his black-rimmed glasses and said with a faint smile: "Mr. President, the basis of the dollar is not just gold and silver. ”

"And the military power of the United States!" Roosevelt's tone was a little gloomy, "If we pay 500 billion European marks, withdraw our troops from Australia and New Zealand, and let the Germans continue to occupy Guyana and preside over the partition of Brazil, then the whole world will know that we are a defeated country, and our military strength is far inferior to Germany!" ”

"yes," Nelson. Rockefeller smiled wryly and said, "Defeated, and there is not enough gold and silver, the dollar is still competing with the European mark?" Mr. President, the future of the US economy is inseparable from large foreign investments and vast external markets. And the basis of foreign investment is the strong dollar! ”

Roosevelt smiled coldly: "It's not that the United States can't do without markets outside North America, but that Wall Street needs to rule the world with dollars, right?" ”

The competition between the dollar and the Euromark is, in the final analysis, a competition for world hegemony!

The winning side will become capital, and the printed paper is capital! It's real money! For the United States of America and the United States of Europe, which will emerge, with the alchemy of creating capital, it is possible to rule the world.

If the dollar wins, Wall Street will be able to buy the whole world and provide a steady stream of financial support for the United States' scientific and technological innovation -- the United States will be far ahead of the world in terms of innovation capability in the future, and the source of the dollar's hegemony is the hegemony of the dollar, and the hegemony of the dollar is equal to the hegemony of Wall Street!

If the dollar had not been the world's reserve currency, the United States would have long ago become a capital-poor country with its huge trade deficit and fiscal deficit in the future.

Without capital investment, the innovation mechanism in the United States is equal to zero!

If Euromark wins, Europe's unity and reconstruction will be guaranteed, and Europe's science and technology will be adequately invested, and a set of scientific innovation mechanisms similar to those of the United States can be established -- in fact, once the United States of Europe is established, its large market, its many talents, and sufficient capital will definitely surpass the United States in history in terms of innovation ability!

"Mr. President," Nelson. Rockefeller's tone became very solemn, "If our enemies were only Germany or England, I am sure you would have agreed to pay." But our current enemy is the United States of Europe! If we had paid, the United States of Europe would have really emerged and been consolidated!

That's an intercontinental country that far surpasses the United States in terms of land area, population, industrial scale, and various resource reserves! Moreover, it is leading in science and technology, and it also has the world's financial hegemony...... Do you think there will be a future for the United States if this country emerges? ”

Roosevelt glanced at Nelson. Rockefeller, said, "What will happen to Wall Street if America is unfortunately defeated?" Nelson, be honest with me. ”

Nelson. Rockefeller laughed: "Actually, I'm a blonde Germanic...... My ancestors immigrated to the United States from Germany in the 18th century, and I speak a little German, so learning German is not difficult for me. ”

Roosevelt also smiled wryly: "Actually, I'm also a German!" My ancestors were Low Germanic peoples. ”

In a sense, both world wars were fought by the Germans! Germany, England, and the United States are all branches of the Germanic people - because English is a branch of the Germanic language family, and the Anglo-Saxons, the main ethnic group of Britain, are actually a part of the Germanic people, so the British and Germans in the United States are all Germanic.

There are also Dutch, Danish, Belgian, Swedish, and so on who are also Germanic, and there are many French people from north-western France who are actually Germanic.

The German Nazi Party held high the banner of Aryan racial superiority, in fact, to reunite the originally scattered Germanic peoples into a huge ruling nation capable of dominating the world - if you really want to study the human race, the Slavs are actually a branch of the Aryans, but Hitler is unwilling to admit it.

So the blond Americans could really "speak German" and be defeated...... At least for the Germanic people of Wall Street, it doesn't mean the end of the world.

Capitalists who play finance not only know how to stop losses, but also know how to diversify their investments, and how to find new investment directions.

If you don't know any of the above, you deserve to commit suicide by jumping off a building!

"Hail to you, Great Leader!"

Right here in Nelson. While Rockefeller was having a long conversation with President Roosevelt at the White House, Mussolini was receiving his father, John Jr. Rockefeller!

Little John. Rockefeller arrived with Lindbergh, the leader of the National Fascist Party of the United States, and the two men stood up and saluted as soon as they saw Caesar in Rome.

"John, my old friend!" Mussolini politely stepped forward to talk to John Jr. Rockefeller shook hands and hugged him before saying to his "good student" Lindbergh, "John and I are old friends...... If it weren't for this war, he would have been very good friends with Hitler and Hersmann. ”

Mussolini's words are not complete nonsense, in fact, the German family of Rockefeller is indeed pro-German!

Before the outbreak of the war, the Standard Oil Company, which they controlled, provided much assistance to Germany, including the export of oil and the transfer of technology for the production of synthetic rubber and high-octane gasoline to Farben in Germany. And Standard Oil (mainly Standard Oil of New Jersey) also financed many pro-Nazi propaganda activities before the outbreak of the war between the United States and Germany, so much so that it was investigated by the Truman Commission after the war began, accused of treason, and fined $10,000 in 1942......

"But the United States is in this damn war!" Aged John. Rockefeller sat down on a large couch and said in a complaining tone, "This was Roosevelt's greatest mistake, he could have been the greatest president in the history of the United States of America...... He just had to watch quietly, and then the whole of America would be ours. ”

Lindbergh on the side said: "But he led the United States into the world war, and I don't know how to end it until now." ”

Mussolini tentatively asked, "How about ending up with 500 billion European marks?" ”

"It can't be!" Little John. Rockefeller shook his head, then added, "Of course, the Rockefeller family and I have no objection to exchanging 500 billion euromarks for a postwar situation that is more favorable to the United States." But not all of us are as pro-German as we are...... This is understandable, since we are originally German, but they are not necessarily German, in fact most of them are not. ”

Mussolini nodded approvingly and sighed: "Actually, losing money is the best solution at the moment...... The United States has saved its vitality and will not be long before it will rise again. ”

"If you don't lose money...... "John Jr. Rockefeller hesitated, "Leader, do you think we really can't beat Germany?" ”

"I can't beat it!" Mussolini frowned and shook his head, "I really can't beat it...... Germany is now too powerful, with millions of elite troops fighting all over the world, and the best planes, submarines, and a huge fleet. And, of course, terrible atomic weapons! Oh, John, do you know what that is? ”

"I've heard," Rockefeller nodded, "a bomb can destroy New York's weapons, right?" ”

"Not so powerful," Mussolini said, "probably blowing Manhattan flat!" By the way, if the United States is really going to fight, John, you don't live in New York, move to Rome, now the Roman Empire is taking off, there are opportunities everywhere, and it's very safe, you have no problem opening a bank and an oil company if you want to. The Roman Empire is huge, there will definitely be oil, and your Standard Oil company can explore anywhere. ”

"Thank you so much," Rockefeller said with a smile, "and I think the future of Rome will be as brilliant and prosperous as it was in the past, and the whole of Wall Street will look to Rome as a hot spot for investment." ”

Attracting big capitalists like Rockefeller to invest in Rome was actually another important purpose for Mussolini to come to the United States.

Although the Roman Empire is now considered a first-class power, its economic and industrial base is still very weak, although the territory is quite large, but except for northern and central Italy, which is slightly developed, the rest of the place is very backward and requires a lot of investment for development.

However, Rome was a capital-poor country, and the lira did not seem likely to become the world's reserve currency, so Mussolini had to try his best to invest in foreign countries. And Wall Street now clearly needs a safe power that can accommodate huge investments.
