The 391st German-Italian axis? 11. The Devil and Morgan
"So, sir, two portions of Italian coffee, two portions of prawn pasta, and two servings of fruit salad, right?" Sun Yuexun, who was wearing a Western-style dress, asked with a smile.
That sweet smile made Chang Ruiqing, who was sitting in the train box, smile from the bottom of his heart. "Well, that's all. Xiaomei, I'm going to have lunch with this Mr. Morgan later, and no one is to disturb the two of us. ”
"Got it, sir." Sun Yuexun bent down slightly towards Chang Ruiqing, then turned around and left the small box.
"Oh, what a lovely princess," said Morgan, Jack Morgan. Probably the richest man in the world, with a rectangular face and a very straight nose, and eyes that are a little small, but very divine. He was dressed in a very elaborate black suit with a double-breasted black collar with an extraordinarily large lapel. He calls Sun Yuexun a princess, implying that he knows the identity of the girl. He lit a long cigar and continued: "Your Excellency, your life is truly enviable. His demeanor seemed very laid-back, and he also exuded a high-ranking aristocratic temperament, which is enough to explain the status of the Morgan family in the United States. At the same time, he seemed a little excited and excited. "But you deserve to have this kind of life and status, and your contribution to China is enough to put you on a par with any great Chinese king in history, and you have just turned 0 this year, and your era has just begun."
Chang Ruiqing nodded noncommittally. Morgan continued, "You've got a good time, well, just right, and if you're going to unify your country in another ten or eight years, you're going to have to worry about defending her." But now, you have a chance to become a big player, a big player in the world of Game of Thrones. ”
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door of the box, and then Sun Yuexun led a waitress from Chang Ruiqing's chamberlain in, who was holding a large tray with coffee, pasta, and fruit salad on it. Sun Yuexun put the food on the small table in front of Chang Ruiqing and Morgan one by one, and then smiled and retired with the waitress. She closed the door of the box when she went out, and was to keep it guard, so that no one could come near.
After the little beauty went out. Chang Ruiqing and Morgan's conversation just started again. Chang Ruiqing took a sip of the coffee in front of him. "I'm afraid the real big player is Mr. Morgan, right?"
"No, I'm not a gamer, I'm a gamer's broker and advisor, and an investor. As you know, we Jews can't be military or political. ”
"Really? I know quite a few Jewish military strategists and politicians. Mr. Morgan. Do you want to provide them with investment or financial advice? ”
"Yes, but they don't." Morgan ate the food in front of him with composure and relish. "It's a pity that they were misled by Marx's theory. But you're not like them, you know how ridiculous those theories are...... Well. Can I ask you a question? ”
"Of course, please."
"Why did you start GCD China? Without it, you can also rule China, am I right? ”
"There will be no Chinese GCD, the difference is only who accuses this party."
"Hahaha. You're a genius at preemptively controlling your potential competitors, and you're amazed by your vision. Morgan looked at Chang Ruiqing with a pair of small eyes. Now tell me what you want, right? ”
"Is anything fine?" Chang Ruiqing asked rhetorically.
Morgan smiled. "Of course not, I'm not a god or a devil, I'm just an investor and financial advisor."
"Then you can sue me for some options." Chang Ruiqing said while eating pasta. It was as if he was the owner of a small start-up company, and sitting across from him was the manager of a venture capital fund.
"Options?" Morgan pondered for a moment, then pondered, "The first option is to become a monarch and establish a dynasty. ”
"Emperor? There is already a leader of the Republic of China who has been discredited as a result. ”
Morgan said seriously: "That's because Mr. Yuan Shikai didn't get our help. ”
"I have no interest in the name of Emperor. Because I am already the de facto emperor of China. Chang Ruiqing said. Tell us about the second option. ”
"Okay," Morgan said with a look of regret on his face. "The second option is for you to become the master of the Eastern Continent."
"Eastern Continent? How big is it? Chang Ruiqing's expression was calm. But I felt a shock in my heart.
"It's huge." Morgan took a sip of Italian coffee. "It's about the size of two Chinas, maybe bigger."
"What about the third option?"
Morgan said, "Let your fleet rule half of the Pacific Ocean, and the whole of the South Seas will become a Chinese dependency." ”
"Then can you still be the master of the Eastern Continent?"
"Oceans and continents," Morgan said earnestly. Said coldly: "You can only choose one!" ”
The word devil came to Chang Ruiqing's mind, and this guy in front of him must be the incarnation of the devil! He pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the price?" It can't be my soul, right? ”
"Soul?" Morgan laughed. "I can't take your soul with you, because your good friend Paul Du will be the next Pope. When the time comes, He can save your soul on behalf of Christ! ”
A Jew can decide the next pope! As a very unreligious Catholic, Chang Ruiqing certainly knew that this was how the Pope was created. This seat was elected by the Cardinal Conference. If Morgan wants to ensure that Du Paul is elected, he will have to buy more than half of the cardinals, who are all good servants of God......
"And what do you want?" Chang Ruiqing asked coldly.
"Well, I want to correct you, it's not me, it's us, we have a lot of people, including billionaires in the United States and Europe. They are honest businessmen, businessmen who have a lot of wealth but don't have a good investment, all we want is some investment opportunities. Standing Chairman, I think you can give us such an opportunity, don't you? ”
Investment opportunities? Chang Ruiqing now somewhat understands who he is dealing with, not a devil, but a group of devils! In their eyes, a world war that has cost countless lives is nothing more than a good investment opportunity - a world war means a huge demand, and steel, military industry, shipbuilding, electronics, oil, almost all heavy industries will be rich and rich! Of course, the financial and banking sectors are also very interesting. A world war means a large amount of military spending, and no government can afford to pay for it with revenues. This will inevitably lead to huge national debt and high inflation...... This kind of thing is a feast for the banking industry, which has huge deposits (a kind of liability) in its hands! And after the end of the war, there will be investment opportunities for reconstruction, and you can also take the opportunity to buy the assets of the defeated countries at low prices, which will be a good opportunity for a round of sudden wealth. Perhaps these people were also behind the two world wars in history? And the emergence of Hitler. Maybe it's an unexpected event, right? It must be so!
Devil. Well, it's the upright Mr. Morgan who continues to seduce our Chang Da Revolutionaries. He said: "Originally, we honest businessmen did not think about investing in China. Although you have the largest population and vast land in the world, China's investment environment is too poor, and there are years of civil war and ignorant people...... But thankfully there are people like you who come out to save the country. You've also made an unprecedented investment in education and you've made a great investment climate. But your government is somewhat strict in its management of foreign investors and has some unnecessary regulations on the banking and finance industry. ”
Chang Ruiqing said coldly: "We can adjust some of them, but according to our needs." ”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and smiled, "It's not a big deal. As long as your country does not turn into another Soviet Union, we will be able to find a way to enter. Of course, it would be great if you were willing to make some adjustments, which would make it easier for us to enter some very important industries. For example, steel, military industry, energy, railways, and banking, and many other industries. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Then please make a choice now, the mainland or the sea?" ”
It's obviously not okay to have both. Chang Ruiqing thought: "They must have their own set of plans for the future order of the whole world, right?" The USSR came to be destroyed. The world empires of England and France must also come to an end. What about Germany? A hammer that smashes the old world? Maybe it will be defeated by Britain, the United States and France after the destruction of the Soviet Union? As for China? Will it really be the overlord of the Eastern Continent in the future? Not necessarily, I'm afraid...... And in Japan, will there also be a Jewish billionaire in Tokyo who has a secret meeting with Yoshiichi Tanaka? What kind of future will they paint for the Japanese? Is Japan's future at sea or on land? ”
"Well, China is a continental country." Chang Ruiqing seemed to grit his teeth to make a decision. "Including the French Indochina Peninsula is part of the mainland, and that's what I'm asking for."
"Oh." Morgan nodded. With his eyes closed, he seemed to be thinking about something. However, Chang Ruiqing felt that he was pretending, and the real plan was probably made in a certain office on Wall Street a long time ago, right? After about a quarter of an hour, Morgan slowly spoke: "In the future, China's territory should not exceed 22.4 million square kilometers, which is more appropriate for China's population and strength. ”
Chang Ruiqing knew that 22.4 million square kilometers was the land area of Tsarist Russia in 94 years. Maybe in the eyes of these billionaires. At most, China is a Tsarist Russia with a larger population, right?
"That's not bad, it's twice as big as it is now!" Chang Ruiqing smiled with satisfaction. Nodding his head, he said, "But how are you going to let us have so much land?" ”
A pleasant, smug smile slid across Morgan's face. "First of all, of course, it's investment, a lot of investment," he said. We note that the Chinese government is also making such investments, but the scale is simply too small for us to make China a real player in a future world war. If you're willing to develop equity stakes in some of China's major steel, military, energy, machinery, aviation, non-ferrous metals, chemical industry companies and banks, we're prepared to invest $5 to $2 billion in the next 0 years. ”
"What do you mean...... A company in the United States? Chang Ruiqing interrupted.
"Not exactly, there are American companies, there are also European companies, some are European companies under American capital control, and some are American companies under European capital control." Morgan laughed. "In addition, we will invest in the establishment of a large number of wholly-owned or holding companies in China, which will involve almost all industrial sectors. Mr. Chairman, I think you know how backward your country is, and if you want to become a real power, it will take an unimaginable amount of time to slowly invest in construction with your own capital alone. ”
Then Morgan gushed about how many large and small industries a complete industrial system would include. And how should China build the whole system step by step? From his knowledge of China's domestic resources, markets, capital, labor, and China's plans for heavy industry, Chang is almost certain that the American advisers who are now working for the Chinese government must still be taking money from the Morgans!
As Morgan spoke, Chang nodded silently, as if he agreed with his proposal for China's industrialization. When he's done. Chang Ruiqing asked another question that seemed off-topic. "Mr. Morgan. I would like to ask if the U.S. government knows what you're doing? Is there an intention on the part of the U.S. government? ”
Morgan was stunned for a moment, his little eyes rolled, and then he changed to a very indifferent expression, and he said to Chang Ruiqing: "Let's talk to you." The United States is only one part of this plan, certainly a very important part. But this plan is not developed by the US government, they have their own set of plans, and we are equally involved in it. ”
"That's good." Chang Ruiqing smiled. "Then let's help us work together happily. Mr. Morgan, I think you've got a very feasible plan, right? ”
"There is no such plan. There is also nothing written about it. Morgan stood up, picked up the top hat from the table, and put it on his head. I've got the answer, that's it, at the latest from the end of this year, there will be a lot of capital to start investing in China. ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave, but Chang Ruiqing stopped him. "Mr. Morgan, there are two last questions. First, can some of China's current deals with the Soviet Union continue? Second, will Japan get your investment? ”
Morgan straightened his suit with his fair hands. "Mr. President. Your deal with the Soviet Union will soon come to an end, and Japan will act as an agent for all of the Soviet Union's grain exports and machinery and equipment imports! I have inside information. As for Japan, of course, it has already received our investment, which began long before the Sino-Japanese war! And even if Japan is defeated by you or the United States in the future, we will not lose much of our investment, but on the contrary, there will be new investment opportunities. That's all for today's meeting. Also, remember your choices! That's your agreement with us, and if you break it, then we're enemies. Good bye. My friend. ”
With that, Morgan pushed open the door of the box and walked out without looking back. Chang Ruiqing did not get up to send him off. Instead, he told Sun Yuexun to find Song Ziwen. On the rest of the journey, the two men discuss the conspiracy of "Jews ruling the world" over coffee.
Song Ziwen said that he believed in such a thing; He thinks that there really is an unknown group of Jewish billionaires who are behind the scenes manipulating the world, and although they are not omnipotent, their strength should not be underestimated! And the United States is basically ruled by these billionaires, and the situation in Europe is similar, and even Val Terratnau, the leader of the German Jewish plutocracy, openly admits that there is such a group!
"I think that's a good thing for us," Mr. Song said. "At least for now we can get a lot of investment, and if there is a real world war in the future, it would always be good to have more factories, regardless of who invested in them? As soon as the war began, we could justifiably bring them under the control of the government, which is a common practice in the world, and these factories will serve us during the war. ”
Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly, noncommittal. He shifted the subject. "Brother Ziwen, the barter trade negotiations with Italy have reached an agreement, right?"
Song Ziwen nodded. "An agreement has been reached, and with this agreement, it is estimated that billions of lire of trade can be reached in the next ten years."
"When we get to Berlin, we will have the same negotiations with Germany and France." Chang Ruiqing said. "We can't rely solely on the Jews, and our own investments need to be accelerated. And we should keep as much gold and dollars as we can in our hands...... The banking industry also cannot be controlled by Jews. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to the French and Germans." Song Ziwen took a sip of coffee and asked about the "treaty" again. "Bench, do we really want to conclude a treaty with France, Germany, and Italy against the Soviet Union?"
"Let's talk......" Chang Ruiqing gently turned the coffee cup in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly. The water in this world is deep, really deep! It's not at all what I imagined...... Sometimes I feel that I am a chess piece, no, the whole of China is a chess piece in their hands! There are a lot of things that I can't dictate. He took a sip of coffee and put on a solemn expression: "But I know that the chess game of the future world will not go according to their wishes......"
