"Colt, are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all! It's really not funny at all! ”

Grant said dissatisfiedly to Colt.

Colt shrugged his shoulders and replied, "General Grant, I think, you misunderstood what I meant, I really want to help you, do you think Guo Ye's conditions are excessive?" Wrong, his conditions are not too much at all, if he wants to make money, the money he earns in every minute is more than your salary in a month! Since he led his troops to the United States, he wanted to help us, if not, he would just have to come alone, and the whole of America would be shocked by his money-making move! ”

Grant dissatisfied: "Impossible! He's just a Chinese! I absolutely don't believe that he earns more money in minutes than I get a month's salary! ”

Colt shook his head helplessly and replied, "Grant, you won't forget that incident more than three months ago, will you?" ”

Grant's heart moved, and he wondered: "Are you talking about the huge fluctuations in the gold market?" ”

Colt replied, "Yes, what else is there besides this one?" ”

"What does this have to do with Guo Ye?"

Grant asked, pouting.

Things in the business field are more complicated than things on the battlefield, shopping malls are like battlefields, is it impossible for a general of an Eastern country to interfere in the economy of the United States!

As soon as Grant spoke, he was already stunned, he remembered, this time the gold market fluctuated, it seems that it was caused by two young people, one is an American Morgan, and the other is rumored to be a young Oriental, but no one knows who it is!

Could it really be this Guo Ye who did it?

Grant glanced at Colt, who seemed to be smiling. asked, "Could it really be that Guo Ye did it?" ”

Colt smiled: "General Grant, I didn't say that, but what I can be sure of is that that Oriental man is definitely under Guo Ye's orders!" In the midst of this fluctuation, Guo Ye earned at least three million dollars from the United States. In addition, in three months, he can share another million dollars in profits from my arsenal, adding up to four million dollars, 10,000 dollars a day, and 400 dollars an hour. “

Grant's head buzzed, and he almost fainted, but he didn't expect it. I really didn't expect that this general, who had just become famous, turned out to be a first-class big capitalist! This ability to make money is really amazing!

Colt continued: "And that's not counting his business in China, I heard that he set up a bank in China, and now he has a total asset of no less than 20 million US dollars, how much can this bank bring him in a year, have you thought about it?" ”

Grant waved his hand weakly and replied, "Okay." Colt, don't say it. Let me catch my breath, I'm a little dizzy......"

Colt closed his mouth.

Grant sighed, considering the gains and losses, the people who hired Guo Ye meant that there was a strong combat force to join in, relying on the record against the armies of the three major powers of Britain, France and Russia. It can definitely be concluded that Guo Ye is a rare military strategist in the world, and his role in the government army should not be underestimated, but the problem is here, not to mention it for a long time. Just talking about the time of half a year, a rough estimate of 1,500 soldiers, 3,600 US dollars each, that is millions of US dollars, plus officers at all levels, I am afraid that they will not have to pay the price of six or seven million US dollars?

Six or seven million dollars!

This is not a small amount, and now how much does the northern government earn in a year? Tens of millions of dollars only!

It can be said that with these six or seven million US dollars plus the consumption of weapons in the war, Guo Ye's army has already stood at more than one-tenth of the annual financial revenue of the United States! You can imagine how big the price is!

Grant hesitated: "Colt, you also know, I have absolute confidence in Guo Ye's elite soldiers, although there are not many troops, but I absolutely trust their combat power, but this price is too big, so big that I can't make a decision, I must ask the presidential palace for advice on this matter!" ”

Colt nodded, this is natural, it is millions of dollars, not tens of thousands of dollars, such a decision is not something that anyone can make!

Soon, Grant communicated with President Lincoln on this matter, but the presidential palace was also hesitant, this decision was risky, the cost was very high, and if you didn't pay attention, you would be severely criticized by Congress, and the pressure was too great!

For three days, three days, Grant has not given a clear answer to Colt on this matter, Colt is not in a hurry, anyway, the time is there, the northern government does not care about the situation on the battlefield, what is the urgency of an enterprise owner of his own arsenal? The longer you fight, the more money Lao Tzu makes, doesn't he?

But on the third day, the problem finally came!

Moreover, it has been a huge problem ever since!

Presidential Palace, at this moment, President Lincoln's face is full of solemnity, Grant is also frowning, and several generals around the round table are also frowning, if nothing else, the Northern government army has suffered another defeat on the battlefield!

In the small town of Golbourne south of Richmond, the southern rebels and the northern government army started a major battle, and both sides invested tens of thousands of troops, but as soon as they stopped, the northern government army was beaten and had to retreat to Richmond in the north, and the southern rebels pursued all the way, less than 100 kilometers away from Richmond!

There are now 20,000 rebels in the South near Richmond, while the Northern government army is only about 10,000, the situation is critical, it goes without saying, the most important thing is that Richmond must not be lost, because the largest arsenal in the United States, the Colt Company, is located on the outskirts of Richmond, where the new rifles produced a year are enough to arm ten infantry divisions, not counting the artillery and ammunition it produces!

"What to do? What can you do? ”

Lincoln was a little dizzy and dizzy by the situation, and asked eagerly, the generals looked at each other one by one, not knowing what to do, and sent troops to rescue? But now on the entire battlefield, there is not a single place for the government army that is not tight, where is there still a troop to adjust? Just give up? The rebels who got the Colt Arsenal will be even more unstoppable, and Richmond is the transportation hub of the United States, the choke point of the north to Washington, and the military town! Once lost, the price is absolutely unbearable for the northern government!

It's hard to ride a tiger!
