"So, Mr. MacDonald, do you mean we can tolerate the gold and silver standard?" William McKinley, who is a Republican political star and is expected to represent the party in the presidential election soon, asked. In the original plan, in order to gain the support of the big capital in the east, William McKinley prepared himself with the most important political proposition was the margin standard.

"No, Mr. McKinley, you misunderstood. We do need more money, but we need more power in our hands to control the money market at any time, to create inflation and deflation. Power...... Do you understand? Scrooge stood up and looked down at McKinley like a giant eagle, "If we had the gold and silver standard, those guys would have the opportunity to share that power with us by owning the silver mines." But who in this room is going to share power with these guys? ”

Scrooge said, straightening up and looking around at the others.

Morgan laughed, leaned back on the couch, opened his mouth, and said, "Why are we sharing power with those guys?" Scrooge, you're a grizzly bear on the Rocky Mountains, and I, I'm the head wolf in the pack, we're all apex predators, and of course we can share power, but what about those guys? What are they? Most of them feel that they are carnivores, and they also want to share power with us? They are indeed carnivores, carnivores like kittens. Sooner or later, I'll peel off their cats and make a shoulder for my wife. ”

"Mr. Morgan, the grade of the cat's skin is too low, at least I should prepare a fox skin for my wife." Benjamin Strong laughs.

"It's so easy to take down these guys. And, Mr. Morgan, it will also provide you and your friends with an opportunity to clear their name. Mr. Morgan, as I have said a long time ago, your previous methods of making money are so old-fashioned and ugly that the first reaction of the commoners, small landlords, small business owners, or so on, as long as anything brought up by someone concerned with you, is to touch the pistol on your waist. If we were to come up with this plan directly, the New England region would be fine, and the states in the South and Midwest would almost certainly oppose it, even if they would not understand the content of your mention at all. ”

There is only one person who is qualified to laugh at Morgan's means of making money in this way, and that is Scrooge. Scrooge already understood that Morgan, like himself, was a person who was all about money, and such a person didn't care about face. Anyway, this product can't be sold for money. As long as it can bring more benefits, the way of speaking does not need to be too elaborate at all.

"Oh, Scrooge, do you have any great ideas?" Morgan asked.

"It's very simple, let's create a crisis together, hang the noose around their necks one by one, and then stand up as a savior. Save them, and by the way, get rid of this set of proposals. Scrooge said, "First create a wave of market, so that those speculative transactions become super profitable, and then a lot of fools will take out all their money, stupid and stupid to invest in it, we control the banks, and also start to open to their loans, and then our people will continue to remind them through the media that the market is at risk of getting out of control." However, this kind of reminder is useless. Because as long as we don't take action, the market won't suddenly collapse at all. And we need to let influential economists theoretically explain that in the absence of a central bank, disorder is bound to have catastrophic consequences. Then we start to release key news, causing panic, and when the panic reaches its climax, we come out to 'bail out' and make another profit by the way. By this time, if we let those fools keep their last copper plate, they will be grateful to us, and, if we handle it well, and we can pull a scapegoat to blame them for taking advantage of the fact that we don't have a central bank to deal with such a problem, and create this disaster, we will be able to put our plan up and get it to the support of the people of the whole United States. ”

"Scrooge, the scapegoat you said is not easy to find, the guy who can set off such a big storm is not small in size anyway. I don't think you'll be a scapegoat, and I don't want to. So who is that scapegoat? Morgan asked.

"Of course it can't be us. No one in the United States is suitable to be the scapegoat, but if you look at the world, there is a guy who definitely has that power and a much worse reputation than you. Scrooge said with a smile.

"Ah, greedy Jews!" Morgan immediately understood what Scrooge meant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who are our friends and who are our enemies, this is the most important question in the process of making money. When we want to make such a plan, we need to consider whose short-term or long-term interests the plan will harm and who will become our enemies as a result. Which of them threatens us the most, and how they might threaten us. How we should fight it, this is something we have to think about. "We are gathering here today to seek to rule the whole of America, and indeed the whole world in the future." So, once the action begins, there will be our enemies everywhere in the United States, and indeed in the whole world. Therefore, we must act with sufficient caution and our work must be meticulous enough.

Personally, I believe that the biggest enemy we face in the short and long term is the Rothschilds. You must know better than I how Rothschild controlled the entire American economy many years ago, in the days of the First and Second Banks. If it weren't for the fact that before the Civil War, they made a mistake and misjudged the shape of the United States, believing that the United States would be divided and sunk as a result, and then withdrew their tentacles from the United States, and we would have to work for them by now. God forbid, these guys made mistakes at critical times.

They also realized their mistakes, of course, and they have been trying to return to the United States all these years with certain results. (Hearing this, Morgan scolded in his heart: This is not what you guys brought in to get money.) But the good thing is that we're all wary of them, and there's so much mess in Europe that they're not focused on us. So their influence is quite limited. But these guys have a better nose than a dog, and if we don't get things right, they'll smell it. Once they find out about our plan, they will definitely use all means to sabotage it. Because once such an organization is formed, they will never want to get the same status in North America again. And these guys, who have both money and skills, if they are aware of it, it will be much more difficult to deal with them than to deal with those stupid hats in the country. Therefore, our negotiations must be strictly confidential. Anyone who loses the secret will be severely punished. Scrooge warned. It was also clear to all in attendance that such warnings could not be ignored, and that Scrooge and Morgan were absolutely capable of fulfilling their threat if anyone were to leak it.

"Mr. MacDonald, we all understand." Everybody says so.

"Very well, then let's now analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy we are going to deal with, and make a plan against them......" Scrooge said. R1058
