192 electricity

After spending the night at the St. Francis Hotel, the next day, when Situ Nan opened the newspaper, the Los Angeles Times wasted no time in publishing a letter written by an American soldier to his family before his departure, which read:

"Dear Mom and Dad,

Mom, this is the proudest day of my life. We're going to go over there tonight, and I'm so happy because we're going to bring freedom to the world

All I ask you is to keep our home the way it was, and it won't be long before we get back home, and we'll be proud to have experienced first-hand the hardships of battle. I hope that you will speak of me on the expedition to France with pride, and not with a gloomy and heavy heart. As a son, I have done a qiē that can indeed add glory to you

I'd rather die on the battlefield than stay out and be a coward. Mom, there are many people who only make excuses for their cowardice, for example, they will say how sad their parents will be if they go to war.

It's a man's game. Mom, when the best E Battalion of the 312th Field Artillery Unit goes into battle, there will be a long line of Germans waiting in hell for breakfast.

With my sincerest love and best wishes. Oh, by the way, please remember the following insurance number If I die, you remember to go to the insurance company to get the insurance.

Leicester"

"It's really optimistic and naïve, I hope God will let this lovely guy come back safely," Situ Nan said compassionately.

"Yes. It's better to do that. I don't want to lose a sum of money on insurance for this unlucky guy. "Dennis? Fargo laughed humorously.

After the overwhelming propaganda and mobilization, the American people were enthusiastic about participating in the war, and the American young men who were hot-headed and full of messianic ideas seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, excited, and excited, and eager to fly over the Atlantic Ocean and land in Europe to fight the evil Germans

and return people to freedom and democracy. Whether their parents want it or not, millions of American lads are still going to war.

Although Delp was "ordered" not to be a director, he had decided to spend a lot of money to create a majestic war film that would make countless Americans feel the frenzy of war, and at the same time strive to make William's film company in the twentieth century an instant hit. What he doesn't know is that there are still a lot of film companies in this area?

Of course, it was 1917, and a film under the banner of anti-war was impossible. Not to mention making anti-war movies, but once labeled as anti-war, all kinds of persecution may follow in this seemingly less democratic era.

In short, unlike the last time I fought with the Spaniards on my doorstep, the first time I went to Europe to participate in this world war, so it was necessary to give it my all, and all Americans were required to be brave and belligerent. As for anti-war or war reflections, they will only be noticed if they have been wounded and bloodied.

From this family letter, Situ Nan can feel that the country is boiling, and the Americans, who can expand from the small thirteen states on the Atlantic coast all the way to the Pacific Ocean and grab more than 9 million square kilometers of land, are still warlike in their bones.

Situ Nan thought to himself.

Prior to this, the U.S. government had to buy an insurance policy for every soldier, which was a must, and once the war death was confirmed, their family could receive a substantial compensation from the insurance company.

More than 3 million American GIs, if calculated according to 10 dollars per insurance, there are 30 million dollars, which is really a piece of fat In fact, insurance companies will not sell it so cheaply, and the government buys far more than 10 dollars of insurance for each soldier.

The large financial corporations of the United States are the only ones who bear this huge insurance premium, and this shows that the major consortia are involved in the war with practical actions. Wells Fargo got the insurance agency business in California, involving an amount of up to 10 million, which is a big challenge for Wells Fargo, which has just started insurance business, and it is even more joyful, no wonder Dennis? Fargo smiled crookedly.

Of course, money isn't that easy to make. Don't look at the amount of insurance is very high, but the amount of each insurance is not small, once the soldier is killed or injured too much, the insurance company will vomit blood.

The lives of American soldiers are expensive, so the military would rather consume a lot of firepower than lightly fill the battle line with human lives. After bargaining, the US side resisted the pressure of Britain and France, and won the right of the US regiment to fight independently, so as not to let the precious American GIs become cannon fodder for the British and French. In this regard, the major consortia are supportive, and this is also related to their interests.

The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force was none other than Pershing. A soldier whom Situ Nan did not know, but liked very much, because Pershing spoke highly of the M1917 tank produced by Chrysler, Chrysler Company smoothly won an order for 1,000 tanks and 2,000 armored vehicles from the U.S. Army. This was a great encouragement for the nascent Chrysler Corporation.

Situ Nan rushed back from New York last time and failed to participate in the test of the M1917 tank, which was a little regrettable, but he heard that the effect was very good and was well received by the military.

"By the way, Dennis, I heard that Pacific Watt Power Company has business dealings with Wells Fargo?" Situ Nan remembered something and asked.

"Yes. Previously, the company was not doing well and owed us a lot of debt, about $1 million. Due to the lack of solvency, it has now been taken over by our bank. How, do you want to take over? ”。 Dennis? Fargo asked.

It is impossible for a bank to manage a company for a long time, and Wells Fargo has no choice but to take over the Pacific Tile Company, and before finding the next buyer, Wells Fargo can only temporarily carry the burden of the Pacific Tile Company, so Dennis has always wanted to transfer the Pacific Tile Company.

"That's great. I'm interested in all kinds of businesses that make money, and you know I'm a vegetarian. Situ Nan smiled and explained, "I want to integrate the electricity market in San Francisco, Cummins Power is doing well in Los Angeles now, it already accounts for more than half of the electricity market in Los Angeles, and it's time to expand to San Francisco." ”

"Cummins Power? I remember. What, are you planning to invest in power and electricity? Dennis asked curiously.

He has become accustomed to Situ Nan's dazzling investment, no matter what important investment Situ Nan has, it is inseparable from the financial support of Wells Fargo, and at the same time, Wells Fargo has also obtained rich returns from supporting the development and growth of a number of enterprises, so as to make its own strength stronger. The companies of Wells Fargo and William are actually in the same chain of interests, but the division of labor is different.

"Of course. You know? I've found an Edison for Cummins, and he's Nikolai? Tesla," Situ Nan said proudly.

Can you win over Nikolai? Tesla is really a remarkable achievement, Nikola? Tesla's greatness is not something that can be described in words.

Soon after arriving in Los Angeles, this scientific madman joined Cummins Power & Electric and established a far-reaching research institute in Long Beach. Tesla real yàn room

As long as this guy doesn't do his job, no longer engage in whimsical ultra-long-distance radio transmission, doesn't build any scary towers, and is patient and devotes himself to the study of the radio communication technology that Situ Nan has high hopes for, then the conditions provided by the capital, technology, equipment, and human talents can meet Nikolai's requirements? Tesla.

Nikolai? Tesla is also very knowledgeable, and after forming the real yàn room named after him, he is determined to do something to make Nikolai? Tesla's real yàn room has become a super research institute that integrates technology and business like the bell real yàn room.

Except for Nikolai? Tesla's real room, the best real room in California is still the Cummins Power Research Institute founded by Xu Zhouyang, after recruiting a group of engine engineers from Leland and Sons' Lincoln last year, the technical strength of the Cummins Power Research Institute has been greatly improved. It is said that the engines produced by Cummins Power have been installed on Cummins-Lincoln aircraft and have been successfully flown twice, and it is believed that they will soon be ready for mass production.

Since the brand of Cummins was played, neither Cummins Power nor Cummins Electric Power has disappointed Situ Nan. Got Nikolai? The prospects for Cummins Electric Power, a giant like Tesla, are optimistic.

After the energy industry tinkered with a Western oil, Situ Nan focused more and more on Cummins Electric Electric Company, so monopolizing California's power supply was another goal of Situ Nan.

The biggest goal of Szeto's trip to San Francisco was finally accomplished, as Cummins Electric took an important step by acquiring 45 percent of San Francisco's power giant Pacific Watt Power from Wells Fargo, and Wells Fargo also controlled 8 shares of Pacific Watt Power, which together accounted for 53 percent of Pacific Watt Company's shares.

A year later, after several capital injections, Pacific Watt Power Company successively annexed several electric utilities in San Francisco, and the power generation capacity has exceeded more than half of the city of San Francisco.

The same story plays out in cities like Sacramento and San Diego in California, where tall chimneys are erected on the outskirts of the city, and thick black smoke puffs out of them, painting the sky in ink. And that rumbling sound, reminding people that this is the unit of the power plant at work, and the fire is raging inside, the great Nikolai? Tesla's husband's invention of the turbine generator is turning the energy stored in the Creator's fuel into miraculous and increasingly ordinary electricity, which is transported to factories through continuous high-voltage lines, to thousands of households, and to every machine that needs electricity.

The frenzied war, the frenzied production, the frenzied demand for electricity, these are all closely related.

The relationship between electricity and production, electricity has gradually become a necessity for the lives of thousands of households. Refrigerators, washing machines, irons, radios, lights, telephones, in addition to televisions, should be there or good, otherwise how to achieve modernization?

With so much electricity, you have to tinker with some electrical appliances, right? Tu Nan thought. He's thinking about how to squeeze Nikolai dry? What about Tesla's residual value?
