Battle of the Third Reich

The scale of the domestic energy industry in the United States is considerable. Especially after the outbreak of the world economic crisis, petrochemicals became a pillar industry in the United States at that time, and output increased steadily year by year. By 40, it had accounted for more than 60% of world oil production.

Mobil Oil has included all the product markets in South and North America in its hands, and its tentacles have extended to South Asia and the Middle East. However, because these areas are the site of the traditional old colonial empire, Mobil's competitiveness in these areas is very weak, it can only be said to barely maintain the basic operation of its subsidiaries.

The end of the European War gave Americans an opportunity to break this situation. Wall Street's capital behemoths began to sharpen their hidden claws. They wanted to take advantage of the old European colonizers' serious wounds and build up. The barriers of the country secretly pulled those colonial interests that were regarded as forbidden by the other party into their nests.

But if you want to achieve this goal, you have to consider the German reaction. The United States also saw the great power of the German Defence Forces. If they replaced the old soldiers in their hands, they were basically delivering food. The US Army is now weak enough that even the Canadians can’t stand it, but they want to pay more attention. It is not easy to talk about armament preparations. The group of lords in the parliament who respect the glorious isolation policy refused to approve any military budget higher than fifty dollars.

Taking advantage of the timing of the outbreak of the European War, Roosevelt and his staff painstakingly fabricated a bunch of Nazi threats, which made the isolationists in the parliament feel part of the pressure and gradually relaxed their restraint on the development of national armaments.

But before waiting for the follow-up work to get on track, the European war ended. I don’t know how awkward the interventionist politicians are at this moment. I don’t know how many generals are cursing the group of distant British relatives behind their backs. They really can’t help Adou. Even if you clenched your teeth for another half a year, the scale of military production here has also increased. When the time comes, Uncle Sam will come out in person, afraid that he can't hold the Germans? The other side shyly professed that the sun would never set the empire, and even kneeling so neatly, it was hard to light a fire here, and a pot of cold water was poured over there.

Less than three days after the British surrendered, Roosevelt’s new armament plan was immediately blocked in Parliament. The reasons for the Republican lawmakers were so strong that they could not be refuted. The war was over, and peace in Europe was restored. The threat is no longer there. What the taxpayers spend so much to build an army wants to do. International disagreements can be dealt with by political means. The Europeans will let the Europeans solve it themselves.

At the same time, trade within the United States and Europe began to heat up rapidly. Americans have funds, resources, and a large number of products. The only thing they lack is a market that is fully open to them. Now their long-awaited opportunity has finally appeared, and American capital has an opportunity to fully enter the European market. At this time, any guy who dares to block will become their enemy. This is really not a joke. At least, no one in the high-level American society will doubt it.

Agricultural products are only a part of intercontinental trade, which looks very hot, but it is not very high in terms of total trade. The prices of agricultural products were too low before, and the backlog of inventories was also eager to clear out, so that traders themselves generated internal friction. Not only did prices not rise, but they also fell slightly in terms of several high-yielding crops.

However, this is only a special case. The United States expects that if the agricultural trade continues to maintain this momentum next year, the price should be able to reach a balance point that satisfies both supply and demand.

Next is the petrochemical industry mentioned above. At this time, the United States can produce more than 200 million barrels of oil each year, of which 10% is purchased as a strategic reserve by the state, and the remaining 20% ​​is provided for domestic market consumption. All are exported to foreign countries, the main supply is the European market.

This is also the reason why the United States is very concerned about the progress of this European war. The politicians of the two parties in the United States have also been entangled with each other in the policy of Germany. When the Royal Navy was severely damaged in Dunkirk, history began to go to another branch. A group of conservative politicians who adhered to isolationism and supported Nazi policies were completely suppressed from the beginning, and gradually began to smooth the situation. After Germany landed in the UK, they could even gather a group of centrists to launch a counterattack against the Roosevelt-led interventionists.

Mobil Oil has played a big role behind the scenes. The Rockefeller consortium wants to take this opportunity to completely suppress his biggest enemy, at least to let the other party temporarily hold his head, know that the British and Dutch Shell have occupied the European and Southeast Asian markets. too long.

The relationship between Rockefeller Jr. and Germany has been very good. This time Germany won the victory, which became a proof of his foresight. The Rockefeller consortium has sent several waves of envoys to Germany, conveyed the goodwill of the consortium to the new head of state of Germany through an intermediary in Switzerland, and expressed great interest in further close cooperation with Germany, even if it is a small loss. .

In addition to Rockefeller, large consortia such as Ford and Morgan have also privately contacted Germany, and these capital giants have expressed their willingness to cooperate with this emerging European king.

The Americans would soon stretch out an olive branch to Nazi Germany. This was not what Xu Jun had expected before. At this time, he really understood the old saying that capital is completely unruly in the face of profit.

The US official has not yet made any official statement. In fact, the official is embarrassed to die at this time, and he does not know how to explain the previous words and deeds of the government to the public. He cannot always attack the other party in the sand a week ago, and suddenly turned when he turned his face. Became a harmonious friendship, after all, they are not the media, they still need to maintain the necessary restraint.

But the large media under the control of a few major capitals have to be completely faceless. On the day after Germany announced that it would send a fleet to make a friendly visit to the United States, a huge red Nazi party flag occupied the New York Times. An entire page of the "Wall Street Journal" printed a handsome photo of the German new head of state directly on the front page, with the words "Germany-US friendship" marked in large bold letters on the title.

Many Americans also believe that the war is over. No matter how powerful the Germans are, they cannot cross the Atlantic and threaten the Americas. Moreover, the Germans are not stupid. There is no reason to choose to be an enemy of the United States. Perhaps some people are dissatisfied with the German Nazis, but that is the internal affairs of the Germans. The Germans did not jump out of opposition. What kind of heart are you doing here. With that free time, it's better to think about how to do more business with Europe and make money from the group of European riches. Understand that the opportunities are rare now, and the opportunity will never come back.

Roosevelt’s New Deal had actually failed in the past three or nine years. The original history was entirely the Second World War that saved the president’s reputation because he had promised a lot of things to voters before. The same is really done.

The US social economy is still in a continuous downturn. The capital giants are keen to invest overseas, and they are reluctant to invest money in the backwaters of the country. The conflict between capital and labor has become more fierce. The unemployment rate has begun to rise again. Living in poverty, and seeing no hope at all, social welfare has not improved for a long time. Roosevelt actually made plans to bow down from the stage in early 1940.

Now European trade has become a stimulant to the US economy. No one wants to miss this bus. In order to **** European orders, major companies have launched a series of competitions with each other.

This year, the factory can guarantee that the start of operation has been good. The factory owners have never dreamed of the day when they can see the production line running at full capacity. What Europe desperately needs at this time are semi-finished raw materials and light industrial products, as well as a large number of construction and processing machinery. In this respect, American products were not very competitive. The sudden emergence of such a large number of orders really surprised a group of business owners.

Germany has generously opened up the European market. As a pledge to repay the US, the chaebols of the United States must of course also give strong partners some support and compensation. The terms of the German head of state are very simple. Germany will not prevent everyone from making a fortune, provided that Roosevelt and his party leaders must step down.

ps: I am recovering. There is only one more change today, and the length is not long. Please understand.

thanks for your support. (To be continued.)
