Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 409: Trade (Part 2)

The domestic energy industry in the United States is quite large. Especially after the outbreak of the world economic crisis, petrochemicals became a pillar industry in the United States at that time, and its output rose steadily year by year. By 1940, it accounted for sixty-sixth of the world’s oil production. Success above reads(); The granddaughter of Jiao (Li Mochou's fellow) who reborn the Red Chamber.

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

The end of the European war gave the Americans an opportunity to break this situation. The capital behemoths of Wall Street began to sharpen their hidden minions, trying to dig up while the old European colonists were seriously injured. The high barriers secretly pulled those colonial interests that were previously regarded as forbidden by the other side into their own lair.

But if you want to achieve this goal, you have to consider the German reaction. The U.S. has also seen the impressive military power of the German Wehrmacht. If it replaces the old soldiers on the field with its own hands, it is basically delivering food. The U.S. Army is now so weak that even the Canadians can’t stand it, but it wants to be heavy. The armament is not easy to talk about. The group of lords in the parliament who advocate the policy of glorious isolation refused to approve any military budget higher than fifty dollars.

Finally, taking advantage of the timing of the outbreak of the European war, Roosevelt and his staff painstakingly concocted a bunch of Nazi threat theories, which made the isolationists in the parliament feel part of the pressure and gradually relaxed the development of national armaments. Clamp down.

But before the follow-up work got on the right track, the European war ended. Don’t mention how awkward the interventionist politicians are at this moment. I don’t know how many generals are cursing those distant British relatives behind their backs. They really can’t support Adou on the wall. Even if you gritted your teeth for another half a year, the scale of military production here has also gone up. When the time comes, Uncle Sam will end up personally, afraid that he can't control the group of Germans? Fortunately, the other side is still shy and professed that the sun never sets empire, so he kneels so crisply and neatly. It is so easy to light a fire here, and pour a basin of cold water over there.

Less than three days after the British surrendered, Roosevelt’s new armament plan was immediately blocked in Parliament. The Republicans’ reasons were so strong that they could not be refuted. The war was over, and peace was restored in Europe. The possible external threats no longer exist. What exactly do you want to spend so much taxpayer money on building an army? International disagreements can be dealt with by political means, and Europeans are left to resolve their own affairs.

At the same time, trade between the United States and Europe began to heat up rapidly. Americans have capital, resources, and a lot of products. The only thing they lack is a market that is fully open to them. Now their long-awaited opportunity has finally appeared before them. American capital has an opportunity to fully enter the European market. At this time, anyone who dares to stand in the way will become their mortal enemy. This is really no joke. , At least no one in the high-level American society would doubt it.

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

However, this is only a special situation. The United States predicts that by next year, if agricultural trade can maintain this momentum, prices should reach a balance 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 by the state as a strategic reserve, and the remaining 20% ​​is provided for domestic market consumption. , The rest are all exported abroad, mainly for the European market.

This is also the reason why the United States pays much attention to the process of this European war. The politicians of the two parties in the United States have been entangled with each other in their policies toward Germany. When the Royal Navy was hit hard at Dunkirk, history began to take another divergence. A group of conservative politicians who adhered to isolationism and supported Nazi policies were completely suppressed at the beginning, and gradually began to level the situation. After Germany landed in the UK, they were even able to gather a group of centrists and launched a counterattack against the interventionists headed by Roosevelt. reads();[全韩剧]Marriage battle.

Mobil Petroleum has played a big role behind the scenes. The Rockefeller consortium wants to take this opportunity to completely suppress his greatest enemy, at least to make the other party unable to raise its head temporarily. It is necessary to know that Anglo-Dutch Shell is occupying Europe and The Southeast Asian market has been too long.

The relationship between Little Rockefeller and Germany has always been very good. This time Germany's victory has become a proof of his foresight. The Rockefeller Consortium has sent several waves of emissaries to Germany. Through the intermediary in Switzerland, it conveyed the goodwill of the consortium to the new German head of state, and expressed 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 contacted Germany privately, and these capital giants have all expressed their willingness to cooperate with this emerging European king.

The Americans would extend an olive branch to Nazi Germany so quickly. This was something Xu Jun hadn't expected before. Only then did he really understand the old saying that capital is completely unscrupulous in the face of profit.

The U.S. official hasn’t made any official statement yet. In fact, the official is embarrassed to death at this time. They don’t know how to explain the government’s previous words and deeds to the public. They can’t attack the other party insinuatingly a week ago and turn their faces Suddenly, they turned to become friendly friends. They are not the media after all, and they still need to maintain the necessary reserve.

But the large media under the control of several major capitals would completely shamelessly. On the second day after Germany announced that it would send a fleet to the United States for a friendly visit, a huge red Nazi party flag occupied [ An entire page of the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal printed a handsome photo of the new German Führer directly on the front page, with the word "German-American 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 to threaten the Americas. What's more, the Germans are not stupid and 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 Germans' own internal affairs, and the Germans have not jumped out to oppose it. What kind of heart are you doing here? With that spare time, it is better to think about how to do more business with Europe~IndoMTL.com~ To make a fortune from the group of European rich, we must understand that opportunities are rare now, and opportunities cannot be missed.

Roosevelt’s New Deal had already shown signs of failure as early as 1949. In the original history, World War II saved the president’s reputation, because a lot of things he promised to voters came here. Almost nothing is really done.

The U.S. society and economy are still in a persistent downturn. The capital giants are keen to invest overseas, and are not willing to invest their money in the domestic stagnant water. The conflict between capital and labor has become more intense, and the unemployment rate has begun to rise again. The Americans at the bottom live in poverty, and they see no hope at all. Social welfare has not been improved for a long time. Roosevelt actually planned to step down and bow down in the early 1940s.

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

This year, the factory can be guaranteed to start well. Factory owners never dream of seeing the day when the production line runs at full capacity. What Europe urgently needs at this time is semi-finished raw materials and light industrial products, as well as a large number of construction and processing machinery. In this regard, American products originally did not have much competitiveness. The sudden appearance of such a large number of orders really made a group of business owners overjoyed.

Germany has generously opened up the European market. As a reward, the American chaebols must of course give some support and compensation to their powerful partners. The conditions for the German head of state are simple to say. Germany will not prevent everyone from making a fortune, provided that Roosevelt and his party must all step down.
