"Is it appropriate for you to appear in public like this?" Charles? Wilson asked Lin Guokai with some concern.

Lin Guokai replied disapprenosingly: "Anyway, now that there are more and more people advocating peace, I can still release a signal that 'Lin Youde also wants to negotiate peace' when I appear publicly, and the Americans have never forgotten that I am Lin Youde's brother." ”

"This is Berlin's instructions?"

"Actually, we have been in contact with Potsdam for many years, and my sister-in-law's intelligence agency will not take the initiative to contact us. I know you don't believe it, Mr. Wilson, it's okay, it doesn't matter how we cooperate. Because of what I do, I must have been reported to Lin Youde by my sister-in-law, and he knows what promises I have made, and I will definitely fulfill these promises. ”

"You mean, there's also an Eye of Odin insider in Vale?"

"Do you think there's no one in General Electric? Maybe there are some in the DuPont family. Odin's Eye is an intelligence agency that expands by faith, it only absorbs people who agree with panhumanism, and the bait it it uses to rebel is often related to the concept of the target, so it does not penetrate quickly, but it can often infiltrate places that ordinary intelligence agencies can't infiltrate. ”

"You know the principles of the Eye of Odin very well, Mr. Lin."

"Because we have an Eye of Odin in our company, and he's the only guy who's taken the initiative to identify himself with me so far, and he looks like a senior executive or something, and that's what he's suing me."

"Who's that guy?" Charles asked with little interest, "Sincerity is the basis of our cooperation, and I think it would be a very good gesture to show your sincerity by telling us the identity of this person." ”

"No, no, Mr. Charles, interests are the basis of our cooperation. Sincerity only plays an auxiliary role, as long as there are interests, even if everyone has a ghost, they can negotiate business. You and I know this all too well. ”

"Yes." Charles nodded, "The basis of cooperation is interests, and without interests, no matter how great sincerity there is, it is useless." ”

"That's right, in the words of us Chinese, sincerity is just icing on the cake on the basis of common interests."

"The icing on the cake?" Charles frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter." Lin Guokai shrugged, he had just used a literal translation, apparently failing to convey the moral of this Chinese idiom.

He changed his words: "Let's get down to business, what percentage of the chances do you think of a resolution urging the president to cease the war?" ”

"It's almost certain that the Republicans have the upper hand in parliament right now. The Republican Party has been unified, and I would have liked to go further, but some members of the Republican Party have not yet fully made up their minds to cease the war. ”

"It's so hard to serve."

"It's hard to give up the profits of war. Now the Democrats are trying to use this to lobby our legislators on our side, trying to get us to make further demands. However, as casualties on the front line increase, more and more people will be concerned about the wishes of the people. Charles shook his head, "If there is a truce, we will directly lose 80 percent of the existing orders, and then there will be a wave of layoffs, and many people don't want to see that, including me." ”

"But we always have to stop fighting, don't we, it's better for us to let other people die than risk our own people on the battlefield, that's what is a qualified death merchant."

General Motors is now going all out to produce cars and ships for the U.S. military -- unlike many people think, the General Motors Group is actually a huge conglomerate, they not only produce automobiles, they also have a ship systems division under them, they have their own shipyards that produce ships, and they also produce shipboard equipment for other shipyards, such as exhaust fans, water pumps and even parts for turbines. In addition, the General Motors Communications Systems Division has just won a contract to equip the planes of the US Army Air Corps and the US Navy Air Corps with new communication devices.

It can be said that the war freed the GM group directly from the decline of the previous Great Depression, and it is no wonder that a considerable number of the DuPont group above GM are not happy to stop the war.

But Charles is clearly a man who understands.

"Of course, I know that the war can't last forever, so that's why I'll cooperate with you in these fames." "But the wave of layoffs that followed the armistice could cost me my position in the GM group and even the DuPont family, and I had to be able to get the same benefit as the orders we lost, you know, Lin." If I don't get enough benefits and I'm kicked out of my current position, the next president will probably be the Democrat, or Miss Charlotte. I don't think you want to see Miss Charlotte sitting in the presidency after the end of her term as caretaker cabinet after the armistice? ”

"Actually, I don't know what Potsdam thinks." Lin Guokai spread his hands, "But I personally still hope that she can give up the presidency and replace it with someone who is not so aimed at us Vale." If this is not the case, it can be expected that the young lady will concentrate on cleaning us up after the election. ”

"Then we're on an agreement. The reconstruction of post-war Europe, as well as the development of minerals in Brazil and Australia, all of which we at DuPont, had to be part of. ”

"Of course, we'd love to share that power."

"And the crude oil ...... of the Persian Gulf"

"Then I'm afraid there is nothing to do, you know, the Persian Gulf region is not very under our control now, the Chinese in that area are still quite patriotic, and our collusion with the US government makes them very unaccustomed to it, so they spontaneously break away from our control." Now it is under the direct leadership of Lin Youde, and crude oil is being shipped to Europe. ”

"Hmph." Charles snorted and didn't comment too much on Lin Guokai's words.

Of course, at this time, he didn't know how much oil was hidden in the Persian Gulf, after all, the United States was the world's number one oil producer at this time, and Mexico next to it was not the second and third oil producer, and no one would have thought that the Persian Gulf would become the world's oil hegemon in the near future.

Seeing that Charles no longer asked about oil, Lin Guokai seemed to be relieved.

"Then please worry more about the truce."

"No problem, but even if we pass a resolution now, we will not be able to bring about a truce, we will only urge the government to act, depending on the Miss Charlotte. Damn it, I'm going to have to push a bill to weaken the power of the wartime president. ”

"Then I don't care." Lin Guokai paused, "As an 'American', I am actually very eager to hope that peace will come as soon as possible, which can effectively reduce the casualties of front-line soldiers. ”

"Hmph."

Lin Guokai shrugged, then put on an appearance of listening intently to the parliamentary debate, and did not speak again.

**

"The U.S. Congress has passed a bill." As soon as the fox entered the room, he threw the message in his hand on Lin Youde's desk, "Urge the government to end the war as much as possible." ”

"Is it just urging the government to end the war as much as possible?" Lin Youde couldn't help frowning, "I thought I would veto a new round of war bond issuance or something, this is not powerful." ”

"Don't think about it, the capitalists are still counting on a new round of war bonds to be converted into orders." The fox said and sat down on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, "Use patriotic enthusiasm to encourage the middle class to take out the money at the bottom of the box to buy war bonds, and as long as you make a gesture and invest a little money, you can turn it back hundreds or thousands of times, this abacus is really good." Why don't we do that? ”

"We've done that." Isera replied in place of Lin Youde, "It's just that the form is different, we use a ticket procurement system, that is, we use special bills to purchase products from all over the country, and stipulate the earliest redemption time of these bills, which is not much different from war bonds, and this is mandatory, not the same as voluntary subscription." By the way, the first batch of notes in '47 can be redeemed, and before that the war has better ended, otherwise we will have to issue a lot of additional marks to cash in these notes, which may cause the purchasing power of the marks to fall. ”

"I don't understand," the fox frowned slightly, "is this procurement system necessary?" Isn't it over to purchase directly from the Indian mark? ”

"Mark will flow." Lin Youde shook his head, "Once the marks are paid, these marks will enter the liquid market, and the goods that can be purchased on the market are actually quite few, and our supply is already very tight, which will lead you to think about it: there are not many goods that can be purchased, but there are many marks in the flow, so there will only be one result......"

"Mark will depreciate." The fox looked suddenly enlightened, "But doesn't inflation occur when the amount of money in circulation is greater than the value of the products produced?" ”

"That's the problem," Ysera continued, "munitions are not produced as commodities at all, they don't go through the market, they are directly deployed by the munitions department. So although we produce a lot of munitions, these products will not be counted as commodities. So the mark on the market must be controlled.

"The United States is the same, but it operates in a different way than we do, and they still replenish munitions through guò procurement, rather than directly controlling industrial production as we do. So they need to issue war bonds, and war bonds are actually recycling the dollars spent to buy munitions, which is a cycle, and if people's willingness to buy war bonds decreases, the U.S. economy will have problems now, and then the U.S. government will have to use more stringent means than Charlotte's New Deal to deal with economic fluctuations. ”

"So, if the people don't want to fight, the U.S. government will have a big problem?" The fox blinked, "I seem to understand." ”

"It's not a big problem," Lin Youde shook his head, "the people's willingness to buy war bonds will not actually put fatal pressure on the US government, the point is that the interruption of this cycle will cause the capitalists to suffer." The capitalists have a bunch of dollars in their hands, and they will not tolerate the depreciation of the dollar that will lead to the evaporation of their wealth. ”
