In fact, next year will be an election year in the United States, but because of the physical condition of the current US President Woodrow Wilson, the momentum has already begun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In next year's election, Warren Gamelier Harding is nominated by the Democratic Party as the presidential nominee, and Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge is Harding's running mate.

History is always strikingly similar, and as in the Republic of China, Warren Gamelier Harding's presidential candidacy is the product of a compromise.

Several presidents before Harding were politicians with brilliant ideas, especially the current president, Woodrow Wilson.

Woodrow Wilson's success in ending World War II and leading the Paris Peace Conference during his tenure was destined to go down in American history.

Even in this year's Nobel ****** selection, Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel ******, which shows the outside world's evaluation of Woodrow Wilson.

In fact, Woodrow Wilson's reputation in the international community is not very good, especially after the "Fourteen Point Principle" was proposed, the British and French did not treat Woodrow Wilson very well, and even in the United States, not everyone liked Woodrow Wilson, especially the old men of the US Congress.

Power struggles are the eternal theme of politics, and like the French National Assembly, which was strongly suppressed by Clemenceau during the World War, the US Congress is not willing to be a rubber stamp forever.

So the French found a prime minister to bully after the war, and the Americans also picked Harding out of a large number of candidates, because Harding was the most mediocre American and the most reassuring person.

But such a presidential candidate would have to work harder to defeat his rival, Ohio Gov. James Cox. James' running mate was also a well-known young undersecretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Isn't the name a little familiar?

That's right, he is the "Roosevelt Jr." who has served four consecutive terms as president of the United States.

Of course, it is unclear whether Franklin D. Roosevelt had such an opportunity on this plane.

In the face of such a formidable competitor, Harding needs more support, especially from a financial oligarchy like Andrew William Mellon.

Andrew William Mellon, many people in the 21st century will be relatively unfamiliar with this name, and the impression of this name is not as familiar as Rockefeller, Morgan, or Carnegie, but at the beginning of the 20th century, it was a name that was more prominent than Rockefeller.

The Mellon family, which controls all of U.S. aluminum production, owns Gulf Oil and five other steel companies, and the Mellon family is currently the largest plutocracy in the United States.

Twelve years, that is, the term of three US presidents, shows Mellon's status at this time.

Although he has not been recognized by the Morgan consortium, Simon Allen has also gained something from his time in the United States, as evidenced by Mellon's invitation.

"Prepare a sum of cash, and I'll attend Mr. Mellon's banquet." Simon Allen certainly wouldn't turn down Mellon's offer.

"Okay, how much do you need?" Jane Craigie is not surprised that Mellon's invitation at this time is naturally to raise the funds needed for Harding to run for president, and Simon Allen is indispensable if he wants to break into Mellon's circle.

"I'm not sure right now, let's prepare 10 million first, and add more if needed." Simon Allen has a big appetite and wants to contract the money needed for Harding's presidential campaign.

If you want to get enough gains, then you must first pay enough price, and there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Okay." Jane Craigie immediately made the notes in the document and prepared to transfer it to the finance department later.

The current federal group is estimated to be second to none in terms of cash flow richness in the United States, and if it competes with the ability to raise cash in a short period of time, the federal group is not much inferior to the Rockefeller consortium.

Behemoths such as the Rockefeller consortium, they are indeed rich, but many of them are investments and real estate, and they cannot be turned into cash immediately, so financial oligarchs such as Mellon also need to raise funds to start something, if it is purely compared to cash, even if it is a consortium like Rockefeller, it is not comparable to the two gold-sucking monsters of the Federation Biology and the Federation Automobile.

In the year since its establishment, the funds accumulated by the Federation Biology and the Federation Automobile have exceeded 500 million US dollars, which is far faster than the Rockefeller consortium, for example, all the assets of the Rockefeller family are estimated to be billions of dollars, and the annual growth rate can reach 10 percent, and it is estimated that the head of the Rockefeller will set off firecrackers.

Simon Allen is also an old employee of Qin Zhiyuan, from the beginning of the establishment of "LLL", Simon Allen joined Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan is indeed new to Simon Allen, so Simon Allen will be appointed as the head of the federal group.

Of course, trust is one thing, and institutional constraints are another.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the Federal Group, Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault still sent professional financial personnel to the Federal Group, and it was an independent department that operated separately from the Federal Group, and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Group.

As the head of a consortium, if you want to ensure that Simon Allen does not make mistakes financially, it is not enough to rely on personal moral restraint, the key is prevention, so that Simon Allen has no chance to make mistakes, if you don't do any prevention, it is tantamount to conniving at Simon Allen to make mistakes, which is not Qin Zhiyuan's original intention.

After arranging today's work, Simon Allen lit a cigar and went to the south-facing window, looking in the direction of Wall Street, and his heart was full of hatred.

"Not interested in my suggestion? Very good! Simon Allen said unconsciously.

The Morgan consortium is headquartered on Wall Street, two miles away from Simon Allen's Fifth Avenue, which is also known as the heart of New York and the United States.

In the twenties of the twentieth century, when isolationism was at its most widespread, many Americans did not care about things outside the United States, they only cared about their own lives.

"Yes, they'll pay the price." Jane Craigie came to Simon Allen and stood side by side with Simon Allen.

In any case, Jane Craigie will be on the same page as Simon Allen.

"That's right, when the time comes, we will convert the headquarters of the Morgan consortium into a staff dormitory." Simon Allen is a bit of a spoof ambitious.

"Hehe, then the top layer must belong to you." Jane Craigie was also amused by Simon Allen's plan.

It is not so easy to bring down the Morgan consortium, although the little Morgan's sense of smell in business is not as keen as the old Morgan, but he is not a fool, as long as the little Morgan does not die by himself, such a behemoth as the Morgan consortium can generally survive for more than a hundred years.

In the past, after the death of Andrew Mellon, his son preferred to manage the museum donated by Mellon rather than go into business, and as a result, the once glorious Mellon family gradually declined and gradually faded from public view, but even so, this huge family has continued to occupy an important position in the American economy with its strong resilience until the 21st century.

Simon Allen didn't know the future of the Morgan consortium, but he was confident right now, so when he heard Jane Craigie finish speaking, Simon Allen gestured with his hand and pulled the trigger in the direction of Wall Street.

"Smack!" In order to make it more visual, Simon Allen completed the dubbing himself.

Before Jane Correge could laugh, the glass on the window suddenly shook violently, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion.

"Boom ......"

If Simon Allen knew Chinese, he would have described it as an endless stream of lingering sounds, but this would not be so leisurely, and the moment the glass began to shake, Simon Allen pulled Jane Correji out of the window.

"I just shot it in the mouth, can it be so powerful?" Simon Allen is still in the mood for jokes.

"Damn it, what was that, what happened?" If it weren't for Simon Allen, Jane Craigie would have collapsed to the ground by now.

Simon Allen has experienced world wars and is familiar with the sound of shells exploding, so he can calmly face such unexpected events; And for Jane Craigie, who had never been to Europe, a world war was too far away.

Jane Corregius could have sworn she had never heard such a loud voice in her life.

"I don't know if a bomb, or a shell, exploded, I know as much as you do." Seeing that the window had returned to calm, Simon Allen returned to the bedside and bent down to pick up the cigar that had been thrown away in a panic from the handmade Turkish carpet.

"Cannonballs? How can it be? This is New York! Jane Curreggie expressed disbelief.

"What's wrong with New York? Can't there be bombs in New York? As a former European, Simon Allen has a hard time understanding the thinking of some Americans, even if he is close to Jane Craigie.

"Sir, do you have anything to do here?" The voice of the head of security can be heard outside the door.

"I'm fine, send someone to see what's going on?" Simon Allen himself went and opened the door.

"Yes, sir." Lu Yongyan didn't look too much, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

That's right, Lu Yongyan is Chinese, Qin Zhiyuan has no one in his hands, that is, there are many security personnel, and when he can use his own people, he will definitely not use foreigners.

It's not right, Lu Yongyan should be Lan Fang now, the United States has not repealed the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and it is not easy for Chinese people to live in the United States.
