The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 598 Preparation

"Who can tell me what's going on? Are they Poles or Americans!" After seeing the large-scale report on the Polish demonstrations in the newspaper and the news that Root wore it back, Roosevelt was completely mad. It seems that just 2 days ago, he just explained that he wanted to make the welcome ceremony more lively and make the distinguished guests feel at home, but now it seems that the excitement is really lively, forget about it... ...

And to Roosevelt's surprise, this matter is not over yet! Don't forget that there are not only Polish descendants in the entire United States, but also more German descendants. Although the Communist Party tried its best to keep a large population, there are fewer German descendants in the United States than in history, but the number is far less than There are so many Polish descendants! Moreover, they now have increasingly close economic ties with their German compatriots. At this time, the Poles have messed up this matter, and the German associations in the United States can't bear it either!

Unlike most Poles who work as farmers in the countryside, German immigrants and Germans working in the United States are mainly urban residents and workers. With the support of associations and the strong sponsorship of some people, they want to engage in It's not easy to come up with a larger gathering. As a result, before the German and American governments negotiated on some issues, a large-scale tearing action broke out within American society.

This is not like the fight between Irish gangsters and Italian gangsters in American gangster movies. This kind of confrontation is relatively less bloody, but the forces behind it are different. The German government naturally attaches great importance to this meeting. While issuing a statement of protest against the U.S. government after the incident, it also began to lobby at all levels in the United States.

Although the Poles were organized, they were very hasty in doing this matter, and they didn't even think that they would touch the nerves of the top leaders of the two countries. Moreover, the current Polish community is not the same as it was in 1914. They have little connection with politics. They are more of a civil organization or a religious organization. After the chaos, they have no background and no power The limited Polish community was naturally suppressed by the US government. After all, both Germany and the United States hope that the deal can be negotiated.

The efficiency of Americans is still very high, especially in demonstrations like this that do not involve major consortiums and important political figures, and without resistance from high-level officials, the U.S. government solved the problems that occurred during the welcome ceremony very cleanly. discordant tones. In order to bridge the relationship between the two countries, the U.S. government decided to reschedule the welcome ceremony in New York. Before that, accompanied by Secretary of State Rutte, Ruprecht could travel to other places.

After temporarily stabilizing the situation, the U.S. government began to arrange a negotiating team. Because the matter was heavy, Roosevelt went into battle in person, while Secretary of State Rutte was in charge of communicating with the leaders of the majority of parties in Congress.

At the same time, the Germans were not idle. Another unofficial non-governmental delegation, led by Earl Schelling and Countess Laura, first came to Wall Street to meet with American capitalists and their agents. After making contact with the handwheel, in the United States, it is absolutely impossible not to deal well with these people.

"There are many consortiums in the United States. It is impossible for us to win over all of them. We only need to win over some of the consortiums that have related businesses, and at the same time ensure that most of the other consortia are neutral. For this reason, I have specially selected the following consortiums. A consortium of economic and trade ties and potential interests.”

"The first company that needs to be wooed is naturally the Rockefeller consortium. The most important reason is naturally the US oil industry it controls. Our country lacks oil, and Romania's attitude is vacillating.

However, Turkey's oil production is relatively limited and cannot meet our needs. The Americans have huge fuel oil production, and they are the best suppliers to establish oil reserves in the future. However, this family cannot be trusted. They will still provide oil to the Allied Powers during the war, and they may even waver because of economic interests, so we Other means were needed to ensure that the Rockefeller Foundation was at least neutral. "

"The Morgan consortium can be trusted because we have a very good cooperative relationship. Many of the empire's railways in Africa were invested and built by the Morgan consortium, and they may expand their scale. Although there is a threat of war, it is between The Morgan consortium has already invested a lot in Africa, as long as we promise more projects, there is little possibility of the Morgan consortium’s political orientation changing.”

"The Chicago consortium is more trustworthy than the Morgan consortium. The Chicago consortium is mainly a consortium of American agricultural giants. The grain and meat they produce will replace Russia as the most important foreign food supplier to the German Empire, and various civil machinery is already in use. Widely used within the Confederacy, we are one of the most important partners of the Wood family and the McCormick family in the consortium. The more arable land the German Empire has, the better it is for them, and between them and the British and French The latter are important exporters of agricultural and cash crops, they don’t import too much food, they export a lot.”

"The Boston Consortium is mainly engaged in the light textile industry. Our supply of a large number of cheap and high-quality dyes and chemical products is one of the important pillars of the Boston Consortium. And because of this, we have great competition with the DuPont Consortium, which is the largest in the United States. The giants in the chemical industry and the arms industry, we have fierce competition with them in the United States and the world, so it may be difficult to win them over, but fortunately they are not too powerful in finance, and financing still needs to be done. The support of other consortiums has limited influence.”

"The Mellon family is our important bargaining chip. They are engaged in the mining and processing of petroleum products just like the Rockefeller consortium. If the Rockefeller consortium does not accept our opinion, we can definitely deepen our cooperation with the Mellon consortium. They are industrial and mining companies in the United States. A combination of enterprises, providing the empire with a large amount of copper, manganese and other mineral resources. We are their largest importer, which is our greatest advantage.” Before meeting with the Wall Street giants, Countess Laura said to Earl Schelling analyzed.

Although Earl Schelling is the highest representative in name, Earl Schelling has limited understanding of finance. In fact, Countess Laura is mainly responsible for the financial negotiations this time, and the latter has become the representative of the Bavarian royal family and Mary of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Princess is a spokesperson in the financial field.
