Section 611 Mutual need

Rockefeller Jr. expressed the desire of the U.S. government and the Rockefeller family to establish friendly relations with China and to establish personal ties with the Yang family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unconsciously, the Yang Chao family is already a world wealthy, which has the promotion of his marriage with the Russian Tsar Romanov family, and the marriage with the Tsarist family did not increase his strength much, but it made it easier for Westerners to accept him, in the eyes of Westerners, the Yang family has since joined the Romanov family.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Of course, I am personally very willing to establish a good personal relationship with the American people and the Rockefeller family. However, if the two countries want to establish friendly relations, I think it is better to have the Americans repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act first. ”

Rockefeller laughed, "Of course. If we didn't have such sincerity, I wouldn't dare come to you. ”

Yang Chao said again: "I'm curious, how do you plan to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act?" ”

This is already a dead knot, not to mention Roosevelt, even the screws can't be drilled, because the United States excludes China, which makes the increasingly fierce Chinese national sentiment unacceptable, and at the same time, China's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor also makes it difficult for the American national sentiment to accept, and the issue of national feelings is very meaningless, but it is very troublesome, because the emotional issue is unreasonable and does not pay attention to interests.

Rockefeller said seriously: "Your Excellency President Roosevelt, let me convey your personal greetings. He asked me to tell you that China is a big country, and the United States cannot cover its eyes and pretend that there is no such country in the world. Similarly, China cannot ignore U.S. influence in the world. It is very unreasonable and regrettable that China and the United States, two big countries, ignore each other. Do you think so? ”

Yang Chao was silent and laughed: "Mr. Roosevelt's words are very much in line with my wishes. ”

Roosevelt really couldn't ignore China, and China couldn't ignore the United States, two super-sized countries in the world that were aimed at each other and didn't benefit either side.

However, Roosevelt's courage still alerted Yang Chao, he was really a powerful guy, no wonder he could lead the United States to the status of world hegemon, and he was already actively approaching China. Obviously, he had his plans, and Roosevelt wanted to make the United States a hegemon, and China was an indispensable link, and China wanted to gain world hegemony. The United States is also an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.

Roosevelt wanted to get close to China, and then let China become a component of American hegemony, Yang Chao didn't have such an idea, but he didn't expect the two to think of going together, and for a moment Yang Chao felt a sense of sympathy with Roosevelt.

So he immediately said, "I heard that Mr. Roosevelt is disabled?" ”

Rockefeller said, "That's true. His political opponents have been very angry about this, and Mr. President said that the election of the president is not the election of gymnasts, and it does not require strong muscles. ”

In August 1921, Roosevelt took his family on vacation on Campobello Island, and after extinguishing a forest fire, he jumped into the icy waters, suffering from polio inflammation and becoming a disabled person who could not stand up. But Roosevelt never gave up and kept exercising. I hope to be able to stand up one day through exercise. At the same time, he did not give up his political career, and was successfully elected governor of New York, and achieved good political results.

From the perspective of human beings, Roosevelt was undoubtedly an excellent human being, an elite among human beings.

But as a Chinese, Yang Chao is well aware that this is the biggest obstacle to China's progress.

Yang Chao said: "That's true. But if Mr. Roosevelt wants to be able to stand up, then I'd be happy to help him, you know I know a little bit about medical care, and my personal medical team should be one of the best in the world. To put it mildly, we happen to have a successful experience with this disease. ”

Little Rockefeller couldn't help but be surprised, but then he was relieved, he thought that Yang Chao had treated Stolypin and the Tsar. It is a good surgeon, and at the same time, the level of medicine in China is still quite high, penicillin, streptomycin and other drugs and important well-known for the treatment of influenza.

"I will convey your kindness to His Excellency the President. In addition, I would like to convey the opinion of His Excellency the President, who has a suggestion that if China is sincere in establishing friendly relations with the United States, then he hopes that you will temporarily abandon your demand for the United States to apologize for the Chinese Exclusion Act. ”

Yang Chao frowned and said: "If the United States does not apologize." I believe that the Chinese government is unable and does not dare to agree to the establishment of diplomatic relations. ”

Rockefeller said: "Your Excellency the President understands this. He asked me to tell you, only temporarily. He personally will do his best to push for an apology from the U.S. government and Congress to the Chinese people, and if he cannot push for an official U.S. apology within three years, he will apologize first in his personal name before the end of his term. ”

Roosevelt was a responsible politician, and those who thought that they could become world leaders by mere conspiracy were too naΓ―ve to win the approval of Europeans if it were not for the responsible great power that the United States had always expressed throughout World War II. It is also impossible to reassure the British Empire that it will hand over hegemony to them.

Yang Chao pretended to be thoughtful: "Okay, then accept President Roosevelt's suggestion and hope he remains honest." ”

Rockefeller Jr. said, "You can rest assured that I believe in the reputation of our president." ”

Of course, the reputation of the Roosevelt family is also made of gold.

Yang Chao continued: "Okay, then, after talking about the country, it's time to talk about the Rockefeller." Do you have any suggestions for this? ”

Little Rockefeller immediately changed to a more relaxed position, relaxed from his kneeling posture, and half-sat on his lap.

"The Rockefeller family's proposal is that oil will be supplied to China for $1. ”

$1 for a barrel, it's really cheap, but it's not enough.

Yang Chao shook his head and said: "As far as I know, almost all the oil in California and other places has dropped to about 2 cents. ”

During the Great Boom in the United States, it happened to be a period of great oil discovery, and 21 years later, California continued to discover large oil fields, such as the Hill Huntington Oilfield, the Huntington Beach Oilfield, and the Santa Fe Springs Oilfield, all of which were large-scale oil fields with an annual output of tens of millions of barrels.

Twenty-five years later, the United States is producing more than 1 billion barrels of new oil reserves every year. 2.6 billion barrels of new reserves were discovered in '27 and 3.2 billion barrels in '29.

But the biggest impact on oil prices is the discovery of the East Texas oil field in the Gulf of Mexico, the first well was drilled in 30 years, and in less than a year, more than 1,000 oil wells appeared here in 31 years, and the East Texas field alone produced 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

In addition, during the same period, Indiana Standard Oil, Gulf Oil and other companies found more large oil fields in Venezuela, Mexico and other American countries.

As a result, during the great crisis, the world's oil consumption fell sharply, so the price fell sharply, and Texas crude oil could still be sold for $1.85 per barrel in 26 years, and it fell to 15 cents in 31 years, and some small oil merchants even reduced the price of oil to between 2 cents and 1.5 cents.

At this time, oil is really cheaper than water.

The British, relying on their control of the Persian Gulf oil, have always refused to lower the price of oil sold to China, and have always insisted on the high price of $3 per barrel of oil. (To be continued.) )
