Section 298 Marriage Matters
"I'm sorry, but the U.S. industrial order may not go to China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Morgan smiled bitterly after meeting Yang Chao.
Immediately after the United States entered the war, President Wilson appointed his team to control the financial and industrial affairs of the United States, Bernard Baru was appointed chairman of the wartime industrial committee, Paul Warberg was the chairman of the Federal Reserve in charge of the banking system, and Eugene Meyer controlled the wartime financial company.
Although Morgan was still able to make a lot of money by financing the British, his power was controlled by the government.
Therefore, Morgan did not have the right to hand over the arms of the Americans to Yang Chao for production, and could only watch Wilson activate the industrial energy of the United States.
"It's really a pity, you know, China's weapons and ammunition are cheaper, and the cost is at least thirty percent lower than that of the United States."
Yang Chao sighed, he had actually received the news, but he had to support Morgan.
"It's a shame indeed."
Morgan said regret, but there was no half regret on his face, if his father could tolerate Wilson's control of the financial industry?
Little Morgan is not as ambitious as his father, so he doesn't regret it, because he still makes a lot of money, what happened to the Wartime Industrial Council? Still have to buy steel from U.S. Steel? Still not allowed to buy DuPont gunpowder? These are allies of the Morgan consortium, in which Morgan has a large stake.
"What about airships? There is no decent airship industry in the United States! ”
Yang Chao asked, now Yang Chao's airship industry is extremely huge, limited by raw materials, otherwise it can produce more than 10,000 ships a year.
If the Americans are willing to purchase their own airships, then it is completely possible to purchase aluminum alloys in large quantities from the United States, and then deliver airships to the Americans, expensive airships that the Russians cannot afford to use, and the Americans will have no problem.
"Airship? The US Air Force intends to use aircraft. ”
Morgan said.
"Well, penicillin, you'll need it. Now that the United States is in the war, I don't think we can produce enough medicines. ”
Americans always have one need, and Yang Chao doesn't believe that Americans can live or die regardless of injuries.
"It's really time to mention the price."
Morgan said with a smile, Yang Chao raised the price, and Morgan is also benefiting.
Yang Chao nodded: "Well, from now on, a bottle of penicillin costs 200 dollars, and you must have hard currency!" Of course, it still goes through the JPMorgan banking system. ”
Morgan agreed: "Thank you for your support. You can rest assured that payment matters. Morgan guarantees to deliver the money to your vault in Shanghai. ”
The first is to support Morgan, and the second is because Yang Chao cannot transport a large amount of gold and silver out of the United States without a powerful partner, and if the amount is too large, the US government will inevitably not interfere.
"Also, please tell the U.S. government that although the Sino-U.S.-Germany alliance has declared war because of the U.S.-Germany, China is still willing to continue to form an alliance with the U.S., and if the U.S. wants to, we can start negotiations on this."
Yang Chao's words surprised Morgan a little, the Sino-US and German alliance is a joke, it is aimed at Japan, but Japan has become the same as it is now, and it is worth targeting them without American steel?
"I'll bring your words."
But there is no need for Morgan to anger Yang Chao over such a trivial matter.
How can Yang Chao's painstaking Morgan understand that he has to lay out the situation after the Japanese are trampled under his feet, with Japan, the United States will feel the threat of Japan, and without Japan, they will definitely point the finger at China.
The post-war United States is unprecedentedly strong, there is no need to anger the United States, wait for the Americans to play isolation by themselves in World War II, there is no crazy sneak attack on them by the Japanese, how can American politicians provoke American public opinion, even Roosevelt could not directly let the United States enter the war, and Congress would not be able to pass that hurdle.
The United States did not fight World War II, and what did it take to take over the hegemony of the British Empire.
Moreover, after World War I, the United States itself felt strong and began to challenge the power of the British Empire everywhere in the world, and Roosevelt even approved the war plan formulated by MacArthur's group to attack Britain and annex Canada, of course, it was only a plan, and they also formulated a plan for Japan, a plan for Mexico, a plan for the Caribbean, and even a plan for the Philippines, but it is enough to show that the Americans are considering the issue of seizing the hegemony of the British Empire through war.
Yang Chao is still quite jealous of the ability of Roosevelt's group of American politicians, and it would be nice if the little dark horse became president.
Therefore, Yang Chao plans to follow the British Empire closely after the war, support the British Empire, and make it impossible for the US imperialists to gain hegemony unless they go to war with the British Empire.
And now it's time to start getting closer to the Entente, which has been somewhat estranged from the British Empire in recent years, so that the British Empire has to support the current Japan, which is really pitiful.
What is the closer connection for Westerners than a political marriage?
So Yang Chao's marriage has been preparing.
The marriage with Princess Olga is still very troublesome, first of all, the attitude of the Tsar's family, Stolypin personally came to Beijing and expressed his dissupport for this marriage, the Tsar is down, and there is no need to marry his daughter to a commoner.
Of course, this must have something to do with the racial sentiment of the Russians, although Yang Chao is a Chinese minister, but only a Chinese.
But Archduke Olga was firm, she thought she was helping Russia.
What makes Yang Chao incomprehensible is that it was Stolypin who let Archduke Olga get close to him, why he is now opposing this family business.
"Unless you can be Orthodox; And greater support for Russia must be made. ”
Well, this is Stolypin's purpose, to convert Yang Chao and at the same time continue to give benefits to Russia.
"What about the attitude of His Majesty the Tsar?"
Yang Chao asked.
Stolypin said: "His Majesty the Tsar is Russia, and the interests of Russia are the interests of His Majesty the Tsar. ”
It was clear that as long as the bid was high enough, the tsar would not mind selling his daughter.
"Conversion is not a problem. I wonder how Russia needs my support? I'm not the president. ”
Yang Chao is an atheist, it doesn't matter if he believes in religion, didn't the bald brother follow his daughter-in-law to convert later?
Political needs are to go out and sell, and politicians will not hesitate.
So the core issue is still interests.
Stolypin said: "Loan, send troops when necessary!" ”
Yang Chao was stunned: "Send troops? Isn't the territory of Russia not allowed to be stepped into by the troops of any country? ”
Stolypin said: "Of course. But the Russian skies, willingly open to allies. ”
This thing wants Yang Chao's airship bombing, it seems that the Russians have lost a lot of airships, but they have learned advanced tactics.
"No problem!"
For bombing the great Bushvik fighters with airships, Yang Chao did not have any psychological burden.
So everything was negotiated, and the wedding was on the fast track. (To be continued.) )
