The use of tanks was one of the highlights of World War I, and after heavy casualties, the old-fashioned British finally used their secret weapon, the tank. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

This is a sharp weapon specially designed to break through the opponent's barbed wire position, and the effect is not bad, and there is finally a shining debut.

However, the number is too small, and the current tanks have many technical problems that cannot be solved, and they are far from the spectacular scene of thousands of tanks charging in World War II.

World War I and World War II. The use of tanks is very different, the tanks of World War I were used as mobile firepower to cover the infantry to occupy the opponent's positions, to put it bluntly, they were infantry nannies.

After World War II, the Germans used tanks as an assault force on a large scale for the first time, and they used tanks and armored vehicles to charge through the enemy's defense line and achieve a roundabout encirclement

Objective.

The tank is no longer an infantry nanny, but a leader in the charge of the infantry, and after cooperating with the aircraft to suppress the enemy's artillery fire, the tank becomes a sharp weapon of attack, like a hot knife through butter.

More than twenty years later, Guderian, who was one of them, is said to have commanded the Panzer Division to charge, and even Hitler did not know where this doggy day had gone all at once.

It's a bit far, but the current tanks are really not very good, they run slowly, the steel plates are thin, the firepower is not strong enough, and the trip is short, but just like that, the British water tank is still scared of the Germans in the Somme.

Well, it's pretty powerful.

Innovate this thing in the case of the old-fashioned British, and it was the stubborn and reactionary Winster Churchill who was in charge of the project?

If Situ Nan remembers correctly, Churchill's tanks in World War I almost didn't scare the Germans to death, but n years ago, the Germans' tanks almost didn't scare Churchill to death, if he hadn't done a "generator operation" with all his might, it is estimated that the more than 300,000 allied troops including 200,000 British, 90,000 French and 30,000 Belgian troops surrounded by German tanks in Dunkirk, Belgium, may have been killed by the Germans who have become strong again.

Is this a form of retribution?

History is like that, and if you think about it, there are a lot of interesting things.

Compared to tanks, armored vehicles have been available for a long time, and in 1900, Britain put them into the Anglo-Boer War that was going on in South Africa. It's a lot simpler than a tank.

If you weld a few steel plates on a car and put a machine gun on it, wouldn't it be an armored car?

Situ Nan thought that he didn't have a car factory? Now which car factory is half-dead, Situ Nan has no time to sort him out for a while. If it can be used to produce armored vehicles and sell them to the British, the French are not bad! Let's train the hands of the workers! It doesn't matter if you don't make money.

I just don't know if the British want it?

This is to convince the British and the French to do it, it is estimated that they are now lacking everything, and someone will deliver it to the door.

Why did I grow up under the Queen's banner, and I should have contributed something to the British Empire.

Situ Nan thought to himself, he would have to ask Charlie Filard about this matter, as long as he was impressed by this greedy man

The fat man is still afraid that there will be no orders!

Now the British are so poor that they are so poor that they only have money left, waving cheques to buy supplies all over the world, and there is nothing they don't need.

With a good cooperative relationship with the British side, almost all of Situ Nan's industries have become the designated units of the British side's material supply, and there is no problem with credit.

For the British, cash was not the most important thing, and their purpose was to purchase supplies from the United States. Finally, in order to increase Ferguson's persuasiveness, Robles assured that Robles Securities would invest a sum of money to lobby the U.S. government to declare war on Germany.

This guarantee made Ferguson as sweet as eating ginseng fruit, and now that the war had reached a critical moment, the British and the French were looking forward to the stars and the moon hoping that the Americans would join their ranks, but the American profiteers just did not study, and hid on the other side of the ocean to earn the money of the Entente without mercy.

As if to say, the British, the French, in fact, you are still very good at fighting?

You guys beat up the Germans first, I'll take the small bench and watch the show first, and cheer for you by the way! If it really doesn't work, I'll sell you some Vajra Pills again, and I'll give you a boost, but this price is a bit expensive, you know, hehe・・・・・・

Robles's decision to facilitate the entry of the United States into the war was undoubtedly a great support for the British, and Ferguson even regarded Robles and Stuart South as his own.

From the very beginning of the war, Wall Street has been lending money to the Entente countries to purchase American materials, and this is not the first time, if the amount is not too large, Britain is a little painful, and it is reluctant to let such a large amount of money be easily earned by the Wall Street gang, and the negotiations will not be deadlocked.

However, the British have been cornered, the Battle of the Somme River that occurred in France in July today, from July to November, both sides suffered heavy losses, and the warring sides lost more than 1.34 million troops, including more than 450,000 British troops, more than 340,000 French troops, and 538,000 German troops.

Now even if the Entente has the upper hand, Britain and France are no longer able to attack, and as for the Russians, after the upcoming 1917, they are almost a soy sauce player. Grey cattle are not enough bullets fired by the German Maxine heavy machine gun!

In the end, Ferguson still succumbed to Wall Street, but until then, it did not prevent him from assigning a piece of fat to Robles Securities (he could also drink a sip of soup from it, which was the key), not to mention that Ferguson had every reason to persuade London after Robles's strong guarantee that the US government would declare war on Germany.

Situ Nan believes that Morgan's gang has nothing to say, they have made too much, and in the case of this Treasury bond transaction, although Robles Securities ate a piece of meat, most of the meat fell into the hands of Morgan's gang. When it comes to slaughtering people, Morgan is no different from Robles, except that the size of the knife is different, and the meat cut is also different.

Those people also have a big killer called the Federal Reserve in their hands! The dollars are all printed out of this big killer. After the United States entered the war, the government borrowed heavily from banks in order to raise military spending, and a large part of these tens of billions of dollars in national debt fell into the hands of Wall Street bankers.

This is a crazy era, there is nothing more lucrative than speculative wars, anyway, there are fast hands and slow hands, in order to grab a piece of the pie, Situ Nan and Robles have to take the risk of this big gamble.

"Here, cheers to our happy cooperation!" In the gloomy study, three wolves raised their glasses to the adulterous man.

Glow-in-the-dark glass of wine. Under the illumination of the light, why did Situ Nan feel that the red wine in his hand looked particularly bloody?

As Situ Nan expected, a week later, good news finally came from London and the deal was officially approved.

According to Situ Nan's thinking, this matter should not be too public, lest Robles Securities become the target of public criticism. Even if it can't be stopped, try to delay the announcement. But how could the shrewd British let Situ Nan make money and make it so happy!

In order to put pressure on other banks on Wall Street, at the request of Ferguson, Robles Securities had to announce the cooperation plan three days later.

Of course, the details of the contract must be kept confidential, especially the regulations on the exchange of national debts for materials, which are not easy to make other enterprises red. As for Robles Securities' commitment to win the US government's declaration of war on Germany, it can only be understood that it is impossible to put it into the contract.

For this promise, Situ Nan is also benevolent but untruthful, it should be said that he did what he said, and he got the kind of cheap and obedient, because even if Robles Securities did not spend money to hire people to lobby, the US government would also enter the war, and Robles Securities would just sell to the British as an inevitable result.

Now that the blood of both the Entente and the Central Powers has been left almost left, American industry is ready for war after more than two years of mobilization. Situ Nan finally got his wish, and got the blue and white porcelain collected by Robles's house, as well as the precious ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting.

With more than 100 million dollars in business done, will Robles still care about those two collectibles? The collections in his house were all collected by their former owners, and Robles was dispensable with these things, and it was better to put them in the hands of someone who really appreciated them.

Soon after reaching a deal with Robles Securities, Ferguson then reached an agreement with J.P Morgan Citigroup, in addition to the $300 million in U.S. Treasury bonds sold to Robles Securities, the remaining $2.7 billion fell into the hands of a Wall Street bank group led by Morgan, and Morgan charged a 1% handling fee, and received a one-time return of $30 million!

"Top!"

When Robles mentioned it to Situ Nan, although he had expected it, Situ Nan couldn't help but exclaim, this is the gap!

You must know that according to the agreement between the Bank of England and Robles Securities, within the first month of the contract, Robles Securities will provide the other party with the first $50 million in cash, for which Situ Nan has to take out some of the shares of large enterprises from the Hannibal Fund and pledge them to the bank.

Fortunately, except for the first time after taking out such a large amount of money, the rest of the money could be paid to the British in installments or collateral with supplies.

James, who was far away in Los Angeles, was almost stunned by this sky-high order, he didn't expect that the boss Situ Nan would win such a big order soon after he went to New York, why didn't he be overjoyed?

Happiness!

He couldn't wait to squat in the workshop every day, watching the workers leave the steel, mortars and other materials produced from the production line, pack them and ship them to the port immediately.

Not only James, but also Handar in Houston almost jumped for joy when he got the telegram from Stuart Nan.

Situ Nan's order from the British came at a good time, as the Western Petroleum Company had just expanded into the industry and had enough production capacity to digest the order.

Britain does not produce oil in the United Kingdom, and Shell's business in the United States is resisted by domestic oil companies such as Standard Oil and Occidental Petroleum, and the production capacity is limited, and the demand is so large, so it can only import oil from American oil companies.

Occidental Petroleum used to have limited oil processing capacity, but in order to "grab money", it had to desperately exploit its own oil reserves and sell crude oil to Standard and Shell, but now that Occidental Petroleum has developed and has its own refinery, it will no longer sell crude oil cheaply, but sell refined oil, and the price will naturally be much higher.

In the agreement between Stuart South and Ferguson, most of the US Treasury bonds were repaid to the British with Occidental Petroleum products.

Situ Nan was lucky, and after Ferguson and the fighting, the British agreed to buy some trucks produced by Situ Nan's car factory in Los Angeles, and if the results were good, they would increase the order.

Situ Nan also mentioned this casually, he didn't have much confidence in the original car factory called Thunderbolt car, the former boss was obsessed with building racing cars, under his hands, the car factory has been half-dead, can't make any money, and the scale has not expanded. Maybe this is also Situ Nan's chance!

After finishing this treasury bond business, Situ Nan plans to go to Detroit to have a look, hoping that Ford and GM will not let him down.

In Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and other important ports, the materials produced by Situnan's enterprises are constantly being shipped to Britain through guò sea, and now the Royal Navy has established a relatively effective escort system.

The British were experts in this area, and although many ships would be sunk, the passage into Britain and France was always in the hands of the Royal Navy.

Even if those merchant ships were sunk by the Germans' submarines, Situ Nan would not lose much, and after paying a huge insurance premium, the losses were paid by the insurance company.

Situ Nan was a little concerned about the insurance premiums for those goods, and thought to himself that it would be good if he had an insurance company. Doesn't the fertilizer water flow into the fields of outsiders? This guy is getting greedy.

Thinking of this, he hated the Germans a little more.

But if this were not the case, the British would not have been in such a hurry as they are now!

If it weren't for that, would the life of American profiteers still be so comfortable?

If this were not the case, Situ Nan would have gotten the $300 million national debt at a low price from the British?

Contradiction!

Situ Nan laughed at himself for being cheap and obedient, as the so-called "salted fish is worth drinking", don't think about building an archway if you are a bitch, there is no perfect thing in this world.

Speaking of the ship, Situ Nan remembered the owner of the shipyard Francis, whom he met on the ship, and the two reached an intention to cooperate on the ship.

I don't know how things are going for this guy Francis, if he can really win the order from the navy, Situ Nan doesn't mind throwing money into it immediately.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan picked up the phone.

"Francis? I'm Stoney! Situ Nan said.

"Stoney, I was looking for you! Good news! The sound of the microphone shook Situ Nan's ears a little, and he could feel the excitement of Francis on the other end of the phone from a long distance.

"It's not clear on the phone, let's talk about it when we meet! I'll be in New York in two days. Francis hung up the phone.

"Hey ・・・・・・"

Situ Nan was a little depressed, this guy must have been overjoyed.

In the past two days, Robles has been very busy, and after getting a large amount of US Treasury bonds from the British, Robles Securities has been running at a high speed like a machine, analyzing prospects, formulating sales plans, contacting customers, and looking for partners.

This is the current major event of Robles Securities, and this vote is well done enough to put Robles Securities in the upper reaches of Wall Street and establish his position on Wall Street.

The banks in the Midwest, they are potential customers for Robles Securities, and they are also the basis for the plans of Robles Securities and even Stuart South Commercial Bank.

Because the mature and developed industrial area in the northeast has always been the sphere of influence of Morgan, Rockefeller, Boston, Mellon, Cleveland and other consortia.

At present, only the western part represented by California and the southern part represented by Texas in the United States are Situ Nan's "land of dragon prosperity", where the world is vast, the potential for development is unlimited, and there will be no too strong opponents, so Situ Nan's career has been relatively smooth sailing along the way.

Although it is difficult to sell all these treasury bonds at once, what Robles Securities needs most now is to establish its own sales network, and only by pulling those small and medium-sized banks in the Midwest that have not yet been completely controlled by the banks of Wall Street in New York into their own interest camp, can Robles Securities develop and grow rapidly.
