Chapter 325 Vampire
"If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, it will be active; if there is a 50% profit, it will take risks; for 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; if there is a 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even the danger of being hanged"
It is the nature of capitalists to love money and protect money. For more wealth, they even ignore the overall interests of the country.
Before the outbreak of World War II in the original time and space, American capital provided Germany with a large amount of funds and technology.
As a result, because of Japan, a pig teammate, Germany was forced to declare war on the United States, and the Americans paid the price of 50,000 deaths and 10,000 (times) injuries on the battlefield in Western Europe. It really became a tragedy of paying money to help the enemy build guns and cannons to fight their own people.
Of course, it is impossible for American businessmen now to foresee what will happen in the future. They only know that the war launched by the Germans has brought them enough profits, making other peers envious.
In addition, Yannick deliberately lowered tariffs on American businessmen, with various preferential policies attached. So far, there are more than 200 American companies of all sizes in Germany, and many investors are eager to join them to get a share of the pie.
It is no exaggeration to say that these American companies are also Germany's accomplices in the war and have become disguised invaders. Unfortunately, these black-hearted guys can't see the destroyed cities and displaced refugees. They only see green US dollars and golden gold, as well as the stock contract in black and white.
"Your Highness, DuPont of the United States wants to acquire shares in French chemical plants." The German Minister of Economy and the Minister of Finance reported to Yannick the results of the new round of trade negotiations with the Americans. "The American steel giants have also expressed great interest in French companies."
"Promise them." Yannick nodded and approved without thinking.
"But Your Highness..." Economic Minister Walter Fink hesitated and asked. "The Americans have asked for far more than they have paid. Why should we indulge these greedy vampires?"
Why?
Yannick couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Because he was afraid! !
Even if he didn't travel from the future, anyone with a little bit of brains would be afraid of the United States' huge war potential that makes people shudder at the thought.
The United States has a unique geographical advantage, various resources, a large population base, and an advanced industrial base; these are infinite war potential.
Once this war machine starts, aircraft carriers can be launched like dumplings. The Tiger tank is powerful, the Americans can easily use ten tanks to deal with a Tiger tank. The output of military aircraft can produce 100,000 per year, and the B-29 Super Fortress alone can produce 4,000 per year. So far, Germany's individual firearms have not been equipped with semi-automatic firearms for everyone, and the United States can easily equip millions of troops with semi-automatic M1 Garand.
Once the United States joins the war now, Germany will have no hope, and Yannick might as well shoot himself.
Only after ending the European war and integrating the power of the entire Europe can it compete with the United States.
Fortunately, isolationism is still prevalent in the United States, and it has not shown its ability to lead the world in previous wars. In addition, the endless wealth makes the big capitalists in the United States hope that the European war will continue, and they will not let the government interfere in the European war and cut off their own financial resources. After all, it is the big capitalists who can influence the political situation in the United States and truly control the country.
However, he could not tell his subordinates openly that he was afraid of the United States, so he could only change his words in a tactful way. "It is precisely because they are 'greedy vampires' that I have to indulge them more. If they were a group of patriots, they should have started to assist Britain to fight against us Germany. Then Germany's ending would be the ending of the last war. Now? It is these vampires who are funding us to fight this war. Isn't this equivalent to spending some money to make an ally? I think it is too cost-effective. Therefore, as long as their demands are not too excessive, they can be agreed to. Don't worry, when have I ever made a loss-making business? Whatever those Americans eat today, they will have to spit out in multiples within three years."
The Roosevelt family seems to be a natural warmonger. On February 5, 1898, the USS Maine, a US Navy battleship, exploded. Theodore Roosevelt, then the US Navy Undersecretary, took advantage of the fact that the Secretary of the Navy was not in the office that day to issue a war preparation order to the US Navy around the world and asked Congress to authorize a bill to start the war. The United States was successfully put on a war readiness without the permission of President William McKinley.
When the war really broke out, Theodore Roosevelt resigned from the Navy Department and joined a volunteer cavalry regiment called the "Rough Riders", charging into battle himself. Later, Theodore Roosevelt engaged in "gunboat diplomacy" and, after becoming president, proposed a corollary to the "Monroe Doctrine" to empower the United States to intervene in small countries that were unable to pay their international debts, thereby maintaining the economic stability of these countries. This "Roosevelt Corollary" supplemented the "Monroe Doctrine" and made it natural for the United States to intervene militarily in other countries in the future. After leaving office as president, Roosevelt became the first person to call for the United States to intervene in World War I.
As for Franklin Roosevelt, let alone. This cripple clearly stated that the United States must "speak softly" in diplomacy while wielding a "big stick". His "world blueprint" reflects his ambition to establish a world political and economic order with the United States at its core.
With such ambition, Germany would not dominate half of the world. However, Yannick is somewhat curious about how Roosevelt in this time and space would get the United States to join the war? Create another "Maine" incident? Or the "911 incident"? Or just declare war?
It doesn't matter. Even if Roosevelt can't think of a way, Yannick will force the United States to declare war on Germany. Once the United States declares war, all those loans, shares, etc. will be invalidated, and American companies in Germany will be confiscated by the government. Then Germany will take out the nuclear egg, the killer weapon. I don't believe that Roosevelt will be crazier than the Japanese, clamoring for the whole nation to die.
At that time, the United States will have to pay a sky-high war compensation. No money? Then cede land! First, transfer Alaska, which was bought for 7.2 million US dollars, to Germany at the original price, and then hand over several important places such as Hawaii to Germany. At that time, Roosevelt would not be a hero, but a traitor!
I am a little excited just thinking about it!
Seeing a very evil and treacherous smile on Yannick's face, the Minister of Economy and the Minister of Finance could not help but mourn for those American vampires. I am afraid that many people will jump off the building at that time?
With Yannick's support, the agreement with the Americans was reached smoothly.
American businessmen were satisfied with the gold, US dollars, and stock contracts. And the various industrial products, production technologies, and raw materials in their hands were also continuously shipped to Germany.
