Qin Lang walked into Morgan's office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The emperor of Wall Street and his son were already waiting for him there, and there was no third person present.

This is another private meeting.

Qin Lang naturally sat down on a chair, and then heard the emperor's voice.

"How's the funeral?"

He was referring to McKinley's funeral, and of course, there is no second answer other than this most important and famous social event in the United States in recent times. An ordinary person's funeral would not attract Morgan's attention, and even a casual glance would not allow Qin Lang to rush from the west to the east.

Only McKinley's funeral.

Morgan did not attend the funeral, either the emperor himself or his son. While they are concerned about it, they will only send a representative instead of going there in person, because there are more important things for them to deal with. Needless to say, the delegates will relay every detail of the funeral in detail, but they would certainly like to hear more.

The views of the masses, the views of high society, and the views of a high-profile Chinese arms dealer.

Maybe his point of view doesn't matter – and so does everyone else – but certainly very ......

Unique.

"Very good, very grand. It is clear that the American people love their president. Qin Lang said in a tone that was by no means a joke, "The whole city was filled with people who came from all over the country to attend the funeral, and all the streets were crowded with wind and rain, but the people were not annoyed by the crowding, they were painfully silent, and with a tenacious and unanimous will, they kept approaching the coffin parking place——"

He paused, a little wondering why he was saying that, and blurted it out.

His words also surprised Morgan.

Both Morgans are.

"You should write a press release for the newspaper, Qin, really." Jack. Morgan said, half teasing, but half serious, "Until now, I haven't seen a newspaper report on a funeral so exaggerated and so exciting." ”

Qin Lang took this sentence as a compliment to him and accepted it. "Appropriate exaggeration is necessary."

"It's true." The Emperor's Son smiled at his father and sat down in front of Qin Lang. "I heard you're planning to expand your business to the Treasury Department's Secret Service?"

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded calmly, not surprised that Morgan knew the news.

"Can I find out why?" Jack then asked, "Have you devised a new set of measures that will effectively combat the crime of making and selling counterfeit banknotes?" ”

Qin Lang shook his head. "I don't think there's anything effective in cracking down on counterfeit banknotes."

However, there is a way to combat counterfeiting – or even eliminate it. He thought. The solution is simple, but it is very difficult to implement, that is, to start all the machines, print money at all costs, regardless of its quality and value, so that the production cost of counterfeit banknotes is higher than that of genuine money.

In the history of mankind, the Nationalist government in Nanjing was supposed to be the first government to eliminate counterfeit money, and it issued two currencies that achieved this miracle and achieved a military victory: during the Sino-Japanese War, the currency issued by the Nationalist government caused heavy losses to the Japanese intelligence department responsible for making counterfeit money, forcing the Japanese to abandon their evil plan to disrupt China's economy and win the war.

Unfortunately, the immediate interests of the population do not understand the important efforts of the Government to eradicate counterfeit banknotes, nor do they see the unprecedented and possibly unparalleled achievements of the Government, which condemn it, oppose its policies and end up on the side of its enemies.

Although that is only one of the many reasons.

What a pity.

Qin Lang sighed secretly for a while, then came back to his senses and answered the emperor's son's new question.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"In my judgment, after McKinley's assassination, Washington will set up an agency responsible for the president's security to prevent similar incidents from happening again. However, given a number of factors, the government will eventually hand over the work to an already existing department rather than create a new one, and the Treasury Department's Secret Service is the only option, as it alone has enough field agents. However," Qin Lang shrugged, "they all lack the skills and experience to protect important people. ”

"You want a secret agent training contract from the Secret Service?"

"Yes."

"Your sense of smell is still as sensitive as ever, Qin." The emperor of Wall Street finally spoke, "It has only been in recent days that the White House and Congress have begun to discuss the idea of creating a special agency responsible for the president's security, and as you might guess, the focus is on the Bureau of Secretaries." However, it is not easy to get a contract for its agent training, and the Bureau of Secrets may think that its agents do not need to be trained, and there are many people who care about it. ”

"I'll try for it." Qin Lang said with a smile.

He understood what Morgan meant, just as he knew Morgan understood what he meant. Communication between smart people has the advantage that everyone knows what the other person needs, and they don't have to waste time and energy guessing, so all that's left is to push what they have, negotiate and compromise, and then come to an agreement.

Now it's Morgan's turn to deal the cards.

Not the emperor himself. He gave this power to his son.

Jack. Morgan's body fell back a little, pressed to the back of the chair, and then changed to a more comfortable position, and then said to Qin Lang: "Our friend has always been very concerned about the answers to two questions, the first is about the ongoing war between Japan and Russia, and people want to know, do you want the Japanese to win. ”

"I don't want the Japanese to win, and I don't want the Russians to win." Qin Lang replied, very calmly, as if to say an inconsequential trivial matter, "If there is a winner in that war, it is neither Japan nor Russia, but the United States." ”

"Yes, that's what we expected—"

Qin Lang raised his hand and interrupted the Emperor's son's words. "For the sake of the United States, Japan's war with Russia should drag on for a long time, so that both sides will be defeated and exhausted, so that they can remain at war and curb their ambitions elsewhere."

He stopped again.

Qin Lang didn't want to say the rest of the words. "In this way, Japan will not be able to threaten Germany in Jiaozhou Bay, nor will it be able to threaten the United States in the Philippines...... If Japan were to conclude a peace treaty with Russia at that time, it would be neither a Yellow Peril nor a Slavic disaster" - this was what Roosevelt said to the German ambassador, Washington's political goal. It's not a secret at the level that Morgan has access to, it's just that he doesn't want to mention the word, the "yellow peril."

Even if it refers to Japan.

Washington's goal is not Wall Street's, though. The aim of the American financial giants is to control Japan's financial and economic lifeline, and little by little they are approaching it: what is good for Washington's goals is also good for Wall Street's.

Everything is going according to plan and nothing can go wrong. Qin Lang thought.

"Definitely. But according to our friends, the Japanese are losing the war, and they do not hold out to the moment we hoped. The Emperor's Son finally couldn't help but issue his condemnation, "Qin, you got too involved in that war, the Russians had your military aid, which caused the Japanese to suffer heavy losses but failed to make any substantial progress - the latest news is that your armored vehicle unit crushed an infantry regiment of the Japanese Army, forcing a division of Japanese troops to retreat, causing the fighting in the Liaoyang area to stalemate. ”

"That's necessary to achieve our goals." Qin Lang said that it was still very relaxed.

"Maybe, but you don't have to make it that serious."

Qin Lang glanced at the Wall Street Emperor who looked happy and seemed to just want to watch a good show, and then said: "When I presented my plan, I once mentioned a fatal flaw of the Russians, that is, the Siberian railway is still not through. Due to this factor, it was a very difficult task to provide support to the Russian army in the Far East, and it was almost impossible to accomplish it-"

His words were interrupted again. "Yes, we all know the plight of the Russians, the attrition of personnel, weapons and ammunition can hardly be replenished, as long as the war continues, the Russian army in the Far East will become weaker and weaker, and then the Russians will lose the war, sooner or later-"

"So we must take measures to maintain a balance of power between the Russians and the Japanese," Qin Lang spread his hands, "otherwise our friends will complain that the Russians are collapsing so quickly that our goal is about to fail." ”

"That's another issue to be studied, and the situation is that the Russians have gained too much superficial superiority, and all the news is announcing that the Russians are getting better and better, and the Japanese are losing the war." Jack. Morgan frowned, "You must understand that many of our friends are involved in our plans with the aim of revenge for the atrocities committed by the Russian government against their fellow citizens, and they don't like to see their own army beaten to the ground by the Russians. ”

"That's a little bit ...... Embarrassed. Qin Lang reluctantly admitted it, but discounted it.

A small nuisance.

Not never, he just rarely considered the Jews' intention to retaliate, even if they made it clear when they got involved that it was to punish the Russians for their consistent anti-Semitic behavior, and again brought it up as a condition when negotiating with the Japanese - no doubt they were serious, but Qin Lang just didn't want to think about it, because it was of no value to his plan.

And now he still doesn't want to think about it.

Even if the emperor's son was emphasizing the opinion of the Jews to him. "Qin, our friends don't have much desire, they just want to hear good news from the Japanese, and when they hear that the Russians are retreating, you have to let your people put a little water properly."

"Is this a request?"

"It's advice." Jack. "After all, our most important goal is still to complete our plan, and only then to take revenge on the Russians," Morgan said. ”

"I see." Qin Lang nodded and said, "If our friends only want to hear good news from the Japanese, then I don't have to do anything, and they can still see satisfactory results." ”

"Why?"

"I don't want to blame Admiral Kutparokin, but from what I've heard, he will order his troops at any moment to abandon the Liaoyang line and retreat north in order to preserve their strength. And," he deliberately paused, "the Baltic Fleet of the Russians is about to enter the theater of operations."
