April 12, 1868,

Washington, D.C., USA

The Boston Consortium, the Chicago Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, the DuPont Consortium and other Yankee consortiums gathered together to talk secretly in a low building not far from the White House in Washington.

All the core figures of the Yankey consortium appeared without exception, with only one purpose - to "dismember the heroine company".

"The problem now is that there is no way to restrict Heroine under normal federal law."

"That bastard kid doesn't listen to any orders from the federal government!"

"It's not that he doesn't obey, but that he disobeys!"

"What about the garrison? What about our garrison in Dixie? ”

He had already been dealt with, either dying or helping him "recruit workers", HERO Company has so many black slave Nige employees, and half of the credit for "our" garrison. ”

"This..."

The meeting was once again at an impasse, and the HERO company turned into a heroine company, no longer paying for the over-issuance of "HERO dollars", and now the world's economy is at an impasse.

It's not just an economic problem, it's just the end of spring ploughing, and this year's grain has not yet reached the harvest season.

In the past, HERO's high-priced purchase of agricultural products made the whole Europe and the United States crazy, resulting in a shortage of irregular food in Europe and the United States.

"That little ghost, messing around like this, is they okay with Texas?"

"The little bastard has been prepared for a long time, as early as the end of last year, no wages will be paid to the workers, only food stamps, and the workers are grateful to Dade when they look at the skyrocketing food prices."

"Planters in Texas who have the money to afford the "Hero Dollar" are now facing bankruptcy, and most of their land has been bought by Heroine at a bargain price. ”

"Now Texas is really that little bastard's Texas, and ninety-three percent of the land in the whole of Texas is owned by the Heroine Company."

Just when everyone was talking, an old man from the Boston consortium stood up, he was the "wise man" who offered to send more money to Tom when his grandson was under house arrest, and wanted to curry favor with Tom in Boston:

"We here in Boston were the first of our contacts with Tom Smith."

"If we want to talk about Boston, is it because we are in too much of a hurry that Tom's young man is angry?"

"I have the impression that this young man has always been very well-behaved, if we don't cross the line first, he won't break the jar like this."

"In this regard, we in Boston are the first to admit that we are wrong, and it is indeed too much to brainlessly raise the prices of agricultural products."

"Do you want me to say, do you want this kid to join us?"

Give him a seat in the Senate and allow him to truly become a "part" of the United States. ”

"The participation of such a strong and skilled young man will also help us in our future "big plan"! ”

Everyone present looked at one of the leaders of the Boston consortium, listened to the other party's high-sounding words, and couldn't help but want to scold a few words in their hearts.

The Boston consortium is one of the few Yankee consortiums that has "swung against the current" in the economic crisis, first taking advantage of the first economic crisis to acquire a large number of ships and monopolize shipping on the East Coast of the United States, and then making a lot of money when the prices of agricultural products were inflated, and taking the opportunity to buy many bankrupt enterprises.

In the aftermath of the second economic crisis, and now, all of America and some of Europe's major powers have relied on the Boston consortium's United Fruit Company to deal with domestic food shortages through its agricultural trade.

Relying on its "monopoly" on the East Coast of the United States, the Boston consortium is more profitable than Tom Smith in the eyes of everyone.

After all, no one now finds out that the Heroine company is doing this, except for giving up the "coinage right", what can it do to any good.

Now seeing that the HERO company doesn't want to play with the Yankee consortium, the Boston consortium wants to directly attract each other to join the gang.

Wooing the largest industrial entity in the United States.

For the Boston consortium, this hand has earned face.

But the rest of the consortium leaders are also old foxes, and they will not care about the previous "losses", but think about the future "gains".

If they have been entangled in the past, they will not be able to lead the family consortium to prosper for a long time.

Everyone has long analyzed the reasons for the various abnormal behaviors of the hero company - pure personal decision-making, no one else to restrain it.

A variety of intelligence shows that Tom Smith has the absolute "right to speak" in the original HERO company and the Smith family, and it is because of this that this kid can make "unruly" actions many times.

Let Tom join the Yankee family and become a member of the Washington government, and Tom can start carving up the "government dividend".

In this way, Tom must take into account the big cake of "Washington government" before doing things in the future.

In the long run, it doesn't hurt to let the Heroine company join the Washington "family", and the current "American infighting" is indeed worth the loss for the major consortia.

The Yankee consortium, but if they want to implement a big plan, they need a big plan of thirty or fifty years, and they can't be killed by Tom, the "Dixie mud leg" who is killed halfway.

"We think about it here in Chicago, whether it is the previous "dollar war" or the current "explosion bankruptcy", the fundamental reason why HERO does whatever it wants is because his interests Tom Smith are not in the same boat as us. ”

"Let him join us, give him a Senate seat, and give him a Senate seat, and the more Senate seats are given, the more Tom has to do with our interests, and the more he can't act rashly."

After an old man from a Chicago consortium spoke, the old foxes sitting there all nodded, everyone had the same stakes, and simply breaking with the heroine company would only provoke another "Civil War", and the Yankees had missed the "best time".

It is really difficult to say how a local "ordinary" company, with a "standing army" of 350,000 to 400,000, would venture into war in the current economic environment.

"Since it was the Boston Consortium that first dealt with him Tom, then your Boston Consortium should send someone to contact the Heroine Company."

"Who is for it and who is against?"

The old fox present all acquiesced in this way of dealing with it, but one of the stout old foxes asked a question knowingly with some evil taste.

"What if Tom Smith doesn't want to join us? The heroine company is "strong and strong"! Not necessarily succumbing. ”

"If he doesn't eat the toast, then let him eat the penalty bar."

Then I'll really be "relieved". ”

This old fox who knowingly asks is none other than Cornelius Vanderbilt.
