Chapter 443: The Conjecture Triggered by Abraham Lincoln

John Rockefeller nodded calmly and said: "So, the roots of our three families are still in the United States of America, and only when this country is strong can we make more money! Only then can we lay the foundation for becoming a wealthy family like the Rothschilds!"

At this point, John Rockefeller's eyes lit up, and his huge ambition was revealed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soon Morgan Jr. and Andrew Mellon had the same expressions on their faces.

They had all worked together under the Rothschilds of the Sixth Reich, and they all hoped that their family would one day reach that height.

But it is clear that they all know that the achievement of this goal is very difficult.

"John, we all know this, but the current economic situation in the United States is really bad!" Andrew said with a slightly helpless tone.

The economic crisis of more than two years has brought the originally prosperous US economy to the bottom.

In addition to the war-related arms industry, which was very booming, and the iron and steel industry was quite good, other heavy industrial enterprises such as coal mining, railway construction, and oil smelting, as well as more than 80 percent of light industry and more than 60 percent of agriculture, all disappeared in the economic crisis.

Coupled with the continuous bloodshed of the Sino-US war, all the funds that should have been invested in the country, improving the national economy, and restoring market order were invested in the battlefield as if there was a bottomless pit.

In addition, due to the impact of the international environment, the US economy is even weaker. The unemployed already account for one-third of the country's 60 million people, and more than half of the remaining 40 million people can only meet the needs of food and clothing, and there is not the slightest market purchasing power at all.

As a result, more than half of the country's population struggles below the poverty line. There are even precedents for people dying of starvation in many places. The place where the American Dream was born has now been reduced to almost hell.

If it weren't for the war with the Chinese, which diverted the attention of the people at home, I am afraid that a revolution would have broken out in the United States now!

"Andrew. The situation of the United States is bad now, but before the economic crisis of the United States, the foundation of the world's second economic power still existed. As long as the war can be ended as soon as possible, and the government can use the money that is ready to buy arms and expand the army to improve the economy, then I think the American economy will soon improve. In addition, after more than three years, the damage caused by the economic crisis has reached the bottom, and it is time for the international economy to bottom out!"

After listening to Rockefeller's words. Andrew Mellon nodded, he could naturally distinguish between truth and falsehood and severity of what his friend said just now.

"John, I know you're right, but the current president of the United States is Chester Allen Arthur. He was a staunch fighter and would not even consider stopping the war. And there are so many people in Congress who support him, we simply can't use the overwhelming majority of Congress to get him down!" said Andrew Mellon with a frown.

After hearing his words, John D. Rockefeller nodded, and then turned to look at John Pierpont Morgan, who was silent on his left.

"Pierpont, Vice President William Wheeler should be supported by your Morgan family, right?"

Hearing this, little Morgan looked up at Rockefeller's blazing eyes. He smiled and said, "Yes, when he was running, we supported his $200,000 political donation!"

This kind of thing is very common in the United States, and almost every state legislator and congressman has their own consortium behind them. They also represent the interests of various consortia.

"John, how could you be interested in him?"

After listening to little Morgan's words. Rockefeller smiled and said, "I'm not interested in him, I'm interested in some of his views on ending the war at the State Council." ”

For these chaebols who stand behind them and secretly control the political situation in the United States, there are not many secrets within the US government that can hide from them.

After listening to Rockefeller's words. John Pierpont Morgan's pupils shrank into a pin's eye, and his eyes shrank unconsciously.

And Andrew Mellon, who was still sitting on the sofa next to him with a calm expression, couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes staring at John Rockefeller tightly, trying to see something from the expression on his face.

"John, it's just the three of us here. Now, the situation of our three major families in the United States is the same, so if you have any good ideas, just say them! In the end, whether Andrew and I disagree, then not a single word of what we say today will come out of this door today!" Little Morgan, put down Erlang's legs, sat up straight, looked at John Rockefeller, and said with a serious and serious expression.

After listening to his words, Andrew Mellon on the side also nodded seriously.

Calm eyes slowly swept over the faces of the two, and then Rockefeller's expression was straight, his body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes stared at the two of them tightly, and he said word by word: "Abraham Lincoln!"

"Abraham Lincoln, he's been dead for decades, what ...... do you mention him now!" Andrew Mellon reacted immediately and stopped what he was about to say.

Now, even with the calmness he has experienced in the ups and downs of the business world for many years, he can't help but open his eyes, look at Rockefeller with a shocked face, and repeat with a trembling lip, "Ya... Abraham Lincoln !!"

"John, you're not kidding, are you?"

After listening to his words, John Pierpont Morgan reacted, and he couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, and his face was full of shock, and he stood up from the sofa with a 'Teng' sound. His eyes were fixed on John Rockefeller, who was still calm as he sat on the sofa in the main seat.

Abraham Lincoln, as the 16th president of the United States, is also the only great president of the United States in the more than 100 years since the founding of the United States that can be compared to the founding leader George Washington.

During his tenure, the abolitionist movement broke out in the United States, which triggered the 'Civil War', the largest civil war since the founding of the United States!

In addition, his promulgation of the Homestead Act also promoted the development of the western region of the United States, especially the area west of the Mississippi River, and laid the foundation for the prosperity of the United States in the future.

In addition, Lincoln is remembered for another important reason that Lincoln is remembered as the first president in American history to be assassinated.

Here today, Rockefeller mentions Lincoln, certainly not because he once signed the world-famous Abolition of Black Slave Proclamation, but because of his death.

Sure enough, after seeing the shocked looks on the faces of the two, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Rockefeller's eyes.

"Although negotiating with the Chinese may cost us the market west of the Mississippi River, there are already limited resources and low purchasing power, although it is a pity to lose, it will not affect us much." ”

Having said that, the muscles on Rockefeller's face twitched involuntarily at the thought of the Texas oil field he had already built.

"As long as we keep the land east of the Mississippi River and restore it to its pre-war economic level, then our three families will be able to grow again. ”

After a pause, Rockefeller's slightly murderous eyes slowly swept over the faces of the two, and said in a gloomy tone: "Now that the three of us have fallen behind the DuPont family, and with the intensification of the economic crisis, the continuous decline of the American economic order, and the continuous depreciation of our assets, do you still want to continue to live such a life?"

After listening to his words, the expressions on the faces of Morgan Jr. and Andrew Mellon involuntarily became silent, and the three of them had long wanted to get a piece of the pie with envy for the DuPont family to make a fortune through the Sino-American war.

However, because they entered the military industry too late, they could only watch the DuPont family devour huge military orders, while they could only make some soup and water.

Whether Morgan, Mellon, or even Rockefeller have long been dissatisfied with such a situation, which everyone knows. But they never set their sights on the idea of assassinating the president and ending the war, as Rockefeller did.

Gain's idea is too dangerous, and if they are not careful, it is likely to cause the family business they have worked hard for decades to be ruined. Even if Morgan Jr. and Andrew Mellon have always shown boldness in the financial and investment industry before, but after listening to Rockefeller's plan at this moment, I can't help but feel numb.

"Think about it, if the war goes on for another year or two, then the DuPont family will take advantage of this opportunity to completely rise from this country, and far surpass us to become the richest family in the United States, and then the whole of America will be theirs, and those of us who could have been on their equal will end up being a vassal family that can only rely on their breath. Oh my God, what a cruel thing that is!"

Speaking of this, Rockefeller stretched out his hands and said again with a look of disbelief on his face: "When the time comes, the DuPont family will become the Rothschild of the United States! Become a puppet of the Dupont family. ”

Hearing this, Morgan Jr. and Andrew Mellon were shocked, and their faces showed thoughtfulness. At the beginning of the 19th century, these families were dependent on the Rothschilds.

If it weren't for the economic crisis, Rothschild's misjudgment and his withdrawal from the American continent because he thought that the US economy did not have much future development, I am afraid that they would not have been able to be free at all, and gradually developed step by step to the present, and became a big chaebol controlling the US economy.

"Both, the lessons of the past are enough to serve as a warning. Could it be that we, who are accustomed to freedom, have to go to that kind of existence that looks up to people again?"
