The War of 738 Capital (Medium)
Orangewall, British Honduras (present-day Belize). (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
This is a small city that is difficult to find on the map of the early twentieth century, located on the border between Mexico and British Honduras, because the former joined the Central Powers, and because Britain sent too many colonial troops back to Europe to fight, it was no longer able to cooperate with the United States to attack Mexico from Belize, but because its neighbors began to form more than a million armies, it itself became extremely dangerous.
In the suburbs, in an ordinary-looking Spanish-style manor, servants in white robes are busy, wine from France, fish sauce from Russia, cheese from Italy, and exquisite Chinese dishes are constantly placed on the long and narrow table.
Unlike the servants, the guards around them looked nervous, and every time a carriage or automobile entered the manor, it would cause a stir, and in their hands you could see the light weapons of almost all the countries of the world.
Suddenly, a motorcade painted yellow arrived at the gate of the manor, and before the guards could figure it out, a group of soldiers dressed in uniforms of almost the same color as the trucks suddenly rushed down, and to their amazement, the soldiers were dressed in such a strange way.
A round helmet, large-headed military boots, a thick yellow waistcoat with pockets filled with familiar magazines and egg-like grenades, and a small leather belt tied to his thigh, with a holster attached to it, and the black pistol handle inside can be seen.
And, of course, the strange guns they had with long magazines that were significantly smaller than their rifles.
Just as the guards were facing the enemy, a hand suddenly stretched out in the car and handed a thing that looked like an invitation to the doorman.
The soldiers who got out of the car saw the iron gate open, and immediately divided a few people to occupy both sides of the gate, and the rest followed on both sides of the car, trotting all the way to protect the gun manor, and a sharp-eyed guard looked at the armband of an oriental bewitching beauty holding a giant snake on the soldier's arm in a daze, and didn't know what this meant.
The arrival of the mysterious soldier and the convoy made the manor agitated, Thomas stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at Liang Dunyan and Gu Weijun who stepped out of the car under the protection of the seals, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and then quickly changed back to a nervous and uneasy look.
John Davidson-Rockefeller Jr., who was beside him, pinched the balcony railing, and looked at the Chinese soldiers who moved quickly, flew to occupy various dangerous positions, and then aimed their rifles with scopes at each position of the manor, and his face was a little solemn.
He is not an ordinary person, although the old Rockefeller is still alive, but in fact, he has been in charge of the family power in recent years, so he has seen the armies of many countries, even the armies of France and Germany, which are known as the top two in the world, have seen them, but he has never seen these soldiers with strange equipment and look very difficult to mess with, especially the indifferent eyes they look at from time to time, which makes him chill every time, obviously they are all elite soldiers who have been through a hundred battles and killed people.
"If Chinese have a tenth, no, even a fiftieth of soldiers like them, that's ......, it's terrible!" Rockefeller Jr. began to be less optimistic about the prospects for this meeting.
Thomas next to him still looked "worried about the country" with a gloomy expression, and just as Little Rockefeller was about to speak, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. Turning their heads, a familiar face appeared in front of the two, and the current head of the Morgan family, John Pierpont Morgan Jr., walked up to the two of them with a newspaper. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
"Los Angeles has fallen, San Diego has been bombed continuously, and the troops stationed there are retreating towards Salizonia!"
Little Morgan's words were like a thunderbolt in the ears of the two, he was already too familiar with him Thomas, since the death of his old Morgan, he had become the head of the Morgan family, even more capable than Rockefeller Jr.
The important thing is that he is never alarmist, never exaggerated, so don't look at what he says lightly, but in fact the situation is definitely worse than what he says!
The loss of Los Angeles is already extremely surprising and shocking, and now that San Diego is also retreating, does this mean that the United States is going to give up the whole state of California? If you give up, the West Coast will fall completely!
"Pierponte, are the Democrats crazy?" Rockefeller Jr. looked at Morgan Jr., although one of them supports the Republican Party and the other is a supporter of the Democratic Party, but the relationship between the two families is actually good, but when there is an opportunity, he always does not forget to say a few words, just like the relationship between the two families, which is both cooperative and full of deceitful confrontation.
Little Morgan smiled dumbly, I didn't expect Little Rockefeller to make fun of himself at this time, the whole United States knows that the Morgan family is biased towards the Democratic Party, but Rockefeller is firmly behind the Republican Party, but he is not a politician after all, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I'm just a businessman, I only care about today's cocktail party, it may be our later opportunity." β
"Really?" Rockefeller Jr. squinted at his opponent, then turned to Thomas and asked, "Mr. Thomas, do you think there will be results today?" β
Thomas shook his head: "I don't know. β
This answer surprised the two of them a little. In the past 20 years, Thomas has almost single-handedly created a legendary Golden Yuan Empire, and his rise speed and magical "alchemy" are all jaw-dropping, and many people have called him the fifth largest family in the United States after the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family and the Dupont family.
But the two of them know very well that when it comes to wealth and means, the four major families who are obviously prominent may not be able to compare with him, and the only thing that can compare with him is probably the Rothschild family in Europe, and he is still inextricably linked with the Far East, so he shook his head and said that he didn't know, which means that this meeting may be really difficult.
"Are we really going to die?"
Rockefeller Jr. sighed, and the meaning of "dead" in his mouth all three understood that with the Chinese invasion of the United States and a firm foothold in Los Angeles, San Diego began to retreat again, and Mexico became unruly, and the United States was indeed in danger. Seriously, due to the agreement reached by the Allies at the recent summit in Isttampur, the European allies led by Germany have been unable to quietly make peace with Britain and the United States, which has caused serious divisions in the white European world, so that the Chinese can deal with the United States wholeheartedly without acknowledging European pressure.
From the current point of view, the failure of the United States has been difficult to recover, coupled with President Wilson's emergency bill, the Wall Street stock market, the futures market, the bond market, banks, trust companies, etc., all financial-related institutions have all announced the closure of business!
The United States has stopped breathing!
The only chance for victory is in Europe, if Britain, France, Spain and Italy can take Paris and counterattack Germany, then there is still room for redemption, but if it fails again, then ......! So this time they are really nervous, because their roots are in the United States, once the United States fails, I am afraid that all their wealth will be lost and scattered, so this is also the reason why they are eager to leave the US government behind and quietly make peace with China.
Keep your funds safe!
But it is not easy to ensure security, it is no longer possible to return to Europe, the current situation in Europe is more difficult than that of the United States, and once China defeats the United States, the failure of the Entente will become settlement, Germany is not friendly to its own Jews, and the Germans led by the Juncker consortium have long been eyeing their big fat meat, and if they go back, they will send them to the door for people to annex.
South America and Africa have limited markets and cannot accommodate such large amounts of money, and the only way out is in the Far East.
Although China is not as economically as good as the United States, and weaker than Europe, it is better than its population and territory, so it is enough to accommodate so much money, but the problem is that the strongman in the Far East has too vague attitude towards the Jews, he secretly helps the Jews, and there is even news that he has agreed to support the establishment of Jewish state in the future, but he has banned Jewish funds from entering the core industries of the country such as mining and banking, and the scale of investment has also been strictly limited, which has led to the fact that they cannot move there if they want to.
What to do?
Just when the two were uneasy, Thomas regained his freedom first, spread his hands and said with a smile: "Let's go, we can never draw conclusions here." Hearing him say this, the two had no choice but to go downstairs and walk into the hall together, and when they saw Liang Dunyan and Gu Weijun who were greeting everyone, they immediately took the initiative to go up.
"Thomas Moon, it's a pleasure to meet His Majesty the Earl." Liang Dunyan was made an earl after the founding of the country, so Thomas called him so.
"You're also an Imperial Count." Liang Dunyan had a smile in his eyes, of course, he couldn't say this at this time, and hurriedly shook hands and saluted: "I'm also honored to meet you, I heard that you have a lot of investments in Australia." β
"Yes, now ......, I'm still very worried about their safety." Thomas deliberately raised his voice so that he could hear it more clearly, but his face was still full of nervousness and unease.
"Hehe, Mr. Thomas, you can rest assured that Australia is still a free investment area, and now we are doing all the statistical work, and you can continue to invest there when we are done."
"Really? That's great. β
The two sang and harmonized, which made everyone's eyes suddenly light up, and the brains of little Rockefeller and little Morgan turned at the same time, what does this mean? Is it because of the relationship between Thomas and the Far East, which no one knows, or is China ready to use Australia as an opportunity to open a gap in their funding?
"John Davidson Rockefeller has seen His Majesty the Earl."
"John Pierpont Morgan, it's a pleasure to meet His Majesty the Earl."
"El Tonis is honored to meet His Majesty the Earl."
ββ¦β¦γβ
One by one, the big hands shook it, and when they shook each other with a slightly white and somewhat feminine palm, a voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, may I ask if what you just said means that the Australian market will be opened?" β
His eyes suddenly converged to one point, and Gu Weijun immediately saw this man who was about forty years old in a neat dark suit, with somewhat curly hair, pinned to his chest, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Are you ......?"
"Nevit Rothschild, Your Count may also call me Ivan."
As soon as the voice came out, everyone present gasped, even people like Rockefeller Jr. and Morgan Jr. couldn't help but secretly admire, and now the only person in the world who dares to ask the Minister of Finance directly in this way is probably the only family that envelops the whole of Europe and even the whole world.
Liang Dunyan also narrowed his eyes, since he took over the finance from the emperor, this family has been listed as a dangerous number one target, not because they are afraid of their strength on the surface, but because the financial industry in the former China is too imperfect to compete with such an opponent, because this family's skill in capital speculation is too skillful, so sophisticated that it has to be dealt with carefully, so as not to be accidentally infiltrated by others, and fall into the dilemma of the current Britain that even the country's central bank and gold reserves are in the family's pocket!
However, today's Huahe 20 years ago are completely different things, there are also many large business families in China, Jin merchants, Hui merchants have emerged figures, the financial industry has gradually standardized, has the ability to withstand external shocks, not to mention the world when it comes to family wealth, if the emperor says that he is the second, then I am afraid that the Rothschild family will not dare to call the first!
So, don't be polite!
"I'm sorry, but this is only for businessmen who have previously invested in Australia."
As soon as they heard that Liang Dunyan actually did not give face to the Rothschild family, everyone's face was a little bad, after all, this family is almost the vane of everyone here today, doesn't this mean that they have come here at the risk of being discovered by the governments of their respective countries, but they are destined to be unable to reach any agreement?
"Your Majesty, do you have to force us? You know, Germany may not be able to keep Paris, even without Russia, the Entente is still stronger than Germany in Europe, not to mention you should know that the war will not go on endlessly! β
Nevit Rothschild didn't expect this reply, he was indeed a little impulsive before, that is because the loss of Baku is too great for the family, and the European oil empire that took nearly fifty years to build was swallowed in an instant without even leaving the slag, and the mud bodhisattva will have three parts of fire!
Looking at the man in front of him, Liang Dunyan smiled slightly, he didn't know what Nevitt was thinking, after losing Baku's oil, the Rothschild family couldn't even compare with the Rockefeller family in this industry related to the future of the world's energy, no wonder he was so nervous and dissatisfied, not to mention that people do have the ability to threaten themselves, the Sixth Reich, stomping on the foot will make Europe and even the world tremble, so that any country and force must be careful to face the forces, even the British Central Bank is people's, Coupled with the huge Jewish interest groups behind him, it is not difficult to storm a country's capital market after the war, taking advantage of the opportunity for various countries to recuperate.
But this guy apparently forgot one thing!
Liang Dunyan picked up a wine glass from the waiter's hand, and the bright red wine slowly swayed in the glass, whether it was Rockefeller Jr. or Morgan Jr., and even Thomas, who pretended not to know him, was attracted by his action.
No one expected that as soon as this secret meeting began, because of the conversation between Nevette Rothschild and Liang Dunyan, the core issue was pulled in, and the whole hall became silent, but it made people feel lightning and thunder.
Liang Dunyan took a deep breath, and when everyone's eyes converged on this polite and well-mannered man who was in charge of a huge empire's money bag, he slowly raised his head and smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.
"That's right, the war won't last forever, but you've forgotten one thing!"
He first pointed to his nose, and then unscrupulously made a trigger pull in public, and said proudly: "It's a time of war, and it's ......." β
"I've got a gun!"
: You have money, I have a gun, don't give it, smash your window! Haha......, please!
By the way, I recommend a similar book "Industrial China"
