"Send all our men out. I need to know if there's even a mosquito flying in Philadelphia. Do you understand? Nero finally said to his son.

"Okay, Dad. I'll do it. Harry stepped back.

"Witch Blake, what kind of means does this pervert want to use?" Nero muttered to himself. Then he went into the back room and picked up the phone.

"I'm Cross, please pick me up Mr. Rodin...... Mr. Rodin, I'm Cross, and we've caught the Assassin trying to assassinate the President, and we've got some news from the other Assassins......"

……

Rodin was one of Rockefeller's secretaries, and immediately after receiving the call, he went to see Rockefeller.

"Mr. Rockefeller, there is information about an attempt to assassinate the president." Rodin said to Rockefeller. Today, Rockefeller is sixty-five years old, and at that time, his age had exceeded the average life expectancy of Americans by a lot. However, compared to Morgan, who was two years older than him, Rockefeller's physical condition was significantly better. If you don't look at the color of his hair, but just look at his usual movements, you will even think that he is almost like a man in the prime of life who is only thirty or forty years old.

Until now, for example, Rockefeller has walked faster than most young people, almost like a trot, bringing a gust of wind with him coming and going. And when he sits there, you will also find that his sitting posture is completely different from that of Scrooge and Morgan. Morgan has always been able to lie down without crooked, crooked without sitting, and sitting without standing. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Morgan is the oldest among them and weighs the most. As for Scrooge, although not like Morgan, you can infer his habit of sitting from the fact that his chairs are leather sofas with thick sponge layers. This was not the case with Rockefeller, whose chair behind his desk was a hard-boned wooden chair that was bought from the market, and although there was an equally straight and stiff backrest, the backrest was almost useless, because Rockefeller would hardly lean on it. He sat there, forever straight.

Like his still young body, Rockefeller still maintained a strong enthusiasm for work. In contrast, neither Morgan nor Scrooge were much lazier. This also determines that Rockefeller's management style is somewhat different from that of Scrooge, that is, Rockefeller is more meticulous in management, and sometimes it is quite a bit of the legacy of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng.

"Where did the information come from?" Rockefeller asked as he took the information and looked at it.

"Philadelphia's underworld boss, Cross, is here. They caught a sniper who was going to shoot the president with a .50 caliber sniper rifle at a distance of a kilometer. Rodin replied.

"Are all possible sniper points under control now?" Rockefeller asked.

"The police and gangsters have watched every position within 1,500 meters of the podium where you can see Mr. President." Rodin replied, "In addition, the people of Blackwater are also involved. ”

"How's the balloon getting ready?" Rockefeller asked again, according to the plan, Rockefeller's subordinates planned to hang colorful hydrogen balloons around the small square. This will decorate the scene, and secondly, it can also block the view of possible snipers. So, in fact, if the Sith hadn't been discovered, if he had come to his chosen sniper position that day, he would have found that his originally clear vision had been filled with balloons of various colors. Normally, Scrooge would not have asked too much about such details, but in contrast, Rockefeller was much more nuanced.

"Who is that witch Blake, do you have any information?"

"Yes, Mr. Rockefeller." Rodin took out another piece of information, "This is the information we got from combining all kinds of intelligence. This Blake is a pervert who cut off his own thing and wants to become a woman. He was an expert in bombings, and he was said to have been responsible for last year's Chicago bombing. ”

"Will that thing we have for the president be able to stop an explosion of that magnitude?"

"No problem, Mr. Rockefeller." Rodin was sure.

……

The so-called thing for the president is actually a bulletproof glass cover. When the automobile was invented and many manufacturers began to produce cars, in order to enhance its competitiveness, MacDonald began to develop a glass that would not shatter in a collision, thus giving MacDonald Cars a further advantage in competition with other manufacturers.

The principle of this kind of glass is actually very simple, that is, a layer of transparent gelatinous material is sandwiched between two layers of glass. In this way, when the glass encounters an impact, although it will still crack, the cracked fragments will still be glued together by the gum in the middle, so as to avoid the problem of serious secondary injury to passengers caused by the glass fragments flying randomly after the accident.

Starting from this technology, MacDonald's engineers have recently taken bulletproof glass technology a step further. The so-called bulletproof glass is actually very similar to the car glass in front, except that the glass is thicker and has more laminates. When a bullet hits it, the shattered glass is stuck and cannot fly apart like broken copper glass, so that if the bullet wants to penetrate the glass, it must be squeezed through the glass. Glass is actually harder than most steel. At the same time, in this process, the energy of the bullet will be continuously transmitted to the glass, and the bulletproof glass will continue to crack to consume the energy of the bullet, and the final result is that relying on the sandwich technology, only much less glass than the normal thickness is needed to block the bullet.

Of course, there are other requirements for the manufacture of bulletproof glass, such as the transparency of the glass and the laminate must be excellent. Because it is very thick compared to ordinary glass, if the transparency is not good, it will appear cloudy. This also brings another problem, which is that the manufacturing cost is quite high. But this is not a big problem, because this thing will be used in luxury bulletproof cars in the future, and people who can afford such a car will not care about the money at all.

This time, for the president's security work, MacDonald specially made a bulletproof glass fence so that the president could stand inside and give a speech. It is said that President Roosevelt was not very pleased with this arrangement at first, and he felt that it would tarnish his image as a war hero as fearless. However, considering that it has been dangerous lately, and because "taking unnecessary risks is not brave but reckless", he finally agreed. Later, this bulletproof glass fence became almost the standard for American presidents to give speeches and participate in events such as military parades. In later generations, even when visiting foreign countries, the president of the United States will bring this thing with him.

……

After receiving special funds and obtaining the cooperation of the intelligence and personnel of the gang, it took only two days for the Philadelphia police to find "Witch Blake" and kill him on the spot, and seized as much as one kilogram of explosives and 4 kilograms of steel balls in his residence, as well as a remote-controlled detonation device made of electronic control invented by Scrooge.

In his speech, he praised Mr. Rockefeller's enthusiasm for public welfare, and at the same time expressed the US government's firm determination to protect the free market and free trade.

"Only with a completely free market can there be truly free people! So to defend the free market is to defend the freedom of the people. And the defense of freedom is the manifest destiny that God has given to America! It was in order to achieve freedom that our ancestors traveled thousands of miles from Europe to this land of freedom that God had promised us. And today, when the free people are enjoying the freedom given by God, we must not forget the clear destiny that God has taught us, that is, to spread the voice of freedom throughout the world, so that the people of the world can enjoy freedom with us. Therefore, we must implement an open-door policy to the world, so that the whole world market will become a completely free market! We believe that any illiberal, closed market is immoral. All against God's will.

Of course, the introduction of a free market is not the same as starting a war, and we American people are peace-loving people. Although we have a big stick in our hands to defend freedom, we must also speak more softly when it comes to advancing freedom......"

……

A week later, a tougher-looking Antitrust Act passed both houses, and although most Democrats voted against it, it didn't work. Then, under the bill, the federal government and courts ruled that a series of large corporations, including McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceuticals, McDonald Steel, and Standard Oil's New York Railroad, as well as a series of local companies in the Midwest, were suspected of monopolies and had to be broken up.

After that, the McDonald consortium spent about a year to split McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical into six companies including McDonald Pharmaceuticals and McDonald Chemicals, McDonald Steel into eight companies including American Steel, Western Steel, and Alcoa, and Standard Oil into more than a dozen companies such as Mobil Oil, California Petroleum, Alaska Petroleum, and New Mexico Petroleum. After the break-up, many investors came in, and the company's stock price skyrocketed, and in just one year, the MacDonald family's fortune expanded by almost 50 percent.

But that's not the most satisfying for Scrooge. What satisfies him the most is that now, there is hardly any industry in the United States that can be closed to his funds, and with abundant funds, he began to enter some industries that were previously controlled by others. In the years that followed, new millionaires, multimillionaires, and new successes popped up in the United States, but if you look closely at the bills of these upstarts, you will find that behind them, there are often funds from MacDonald or Morgan.
