Chapter 344 The Rockefeller Company (Plus)
Moreover, they also have the meaning of watching the fire from the other side.
For example, after World War I, when Germany was defeated, it was intended to weaken Germany to the point of being completely incapable of war. However, the Americans did not sign the Treaty of Versailles. In their eyes, this treaty would make the Germans take revenge.
The American capitalists have always been helping Germany. In their eyes, the strength of Britain and France is not in their interests. It is best to keep the war on the European continent so that the United States can rise and become stronger.
Therefore, the United States supports Germany, whether it is the government or the people, with this color.
And Cyric made the most of this kind of psychology.
Now, Germany is justifiably fighting against Poland, because the Poles murdered the German head of state. If Germany does not fight, then Germany will be too weak. Germany has always used force without hesitation.
This is a matter of Germany and Poland, and has nothing to do with other countries. However, Britain and France want to declare war on Germany. This is simply a humiliation to Germany. Germany has no other choice but to fight.
In the United States, there are many Germans and many Americans who sympathize with Germany. Under the deliberate exaggeration, Germany was forced and Germany was the victim in this war. This is more than the historical excuse for war. much more.
Hitler is dead, Germany is waging war, is there any injustice?
The Poles, it was self-destruction, and the British and French, the logic of robbers, supported Poland indiscriminately.
Continuing to look at history, the United States was not willing to use force with Germany at all, and at most it was a blood transfusion to the United Kingdom. Until the outbreak of the Pacific War and Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States gave up the view of watching fire from the other side.
At that time, the enemy of the Americans was the Japanese.
The European battlefield is still not about the United States.
However, Hitler, an arrogant guy, is quite trustworthy. Since he has formed an alliance with Japan, he must declare war on the United States in accordance with the agreement of the alliance.
As a result, Germany and the United States, the two countries that were unable to fight, entered a state of war.
Now, unlike in history, it is necessary for Cyric to maintain a certain relationship with Japan, but to form an alliance with Japan, or even declare war on the United States for Japan, is absolutely worth the loss.
Therefore, now Germany and Japan are not allies, and there is no need for Germany to tie Japan to a chariot. What did Japan help Germany in World War II?
At most, in the Pacific battlefield, the United States is contained. However, if the United States does not participate in the war in Europe, what will Germany do?
Perhaps, in the end, the United States will still join the war, and now, Cyric is trying to block the time for the United States to join the war, and try to delay it as much as possible.
During his first term, Saffron did not disagree fundamentally with the appeasementists. In his policy agenda, China's domestic economy comes first, and he simply mentions "good-neighborly relations" in diplomacy, and it is enough to keep the backyard of Latin America from catching fire.
This is not just to cater to the isolationist forces. Roosevelt himself was a flexible pragmatist who didn't mind shaking hands with dirty hands. He established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union shortly after he took office, and let Europe restrain itself, so why not do it.
Historically, without Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt would not have been able to pass a resolution in Congress to formally join World War II.
In the United States, the wait-and-see mood has always been very strong. Even if Roosevelt wanted to fight, the people below did not want to. It is the favorite of those monopoly chaebols.
For example, the current Rockefeller family.
As an American oil family, the Rockefellers had a very good relationship with Germany.
How good is it? Even as the United States and Germany declared war on each other, the Rockefellers supported Germany.
Rockefeller's oil company continued to sell crude oil and refined products to Germany through third countries until early 1944. Think about it, the Normandy landings, the corpses of American soldiers, dyed the sea red in the strait, and the Rockefeller Company was still doing business with enemy countries.
Even because of these things, after World War II, a federal judge convicted Rockefeller of treason. Of course it was over in the end.
And not just the Rockefeller Group, Ford Motor Company, Hughes, things like that, and a whole bunch more.
Since Hitler seized the power of the empire, the DuPont consortium and the chemical company, the Rockefeller consortium and the Mobil oil company, the Morgan consortium and the telegraph and telephone companies it controlled, etc., scrambled to sign huge orders for strategic raw materials and military projects with Germany.
In terms of technical output, DuPont sold the technology of neoprene and aircraft explosion-proof agent to Germany through I. G. Farben; the technology of tank lubricant was obtained from Mobil Oil Company; Hitler's important help in developing the Air Force came from the establishment of Mobil in Germany A special gasoline factory for aircraft; Telegraph and Telephone Company participated in the development of new German aircraft.
Without the help of the United States, the time when Germany launched World War II would probably have to be pushed back for many years. Therefore, later generations also have special conspiracy theories saying that World War II was completely dominated by the United States. Through World War II, the sun never sets. The United Kingdom fell, and the United States emerged as the capitalist bellwether.
Regardless of this, the current Cyric, of course, had his own purpose in inviting John Rockefeller.
"Now, the head of our empire has unfortunately been killed. In order to avenge the head of state, we launched this war. We were forced to do all of this. I didn't expect that at this time, Britain and France were still supporting sinful Poland. We Germany will never be afraid of any threat of war," Cyric told John Rockefeller.
It would be better if Germany entered a state of war. In this case, its own consortium will definitely get more returns.
John immediately expressed his understanding to Cyric, and, on behalf of the Rockefeller Group, was an absolute supporter of Germany.
"We still remember that our first debt with Rockefeller is about to expire." Cyric said: "We in Germany keep our promises, and even though we are in a state of war, we will keep our promises. So, in order to To repay this debt, we decided to sell 5% of Libyan oil shares to you to offset this debt, what do you think?"
For this sudden surprise, John Rockefeller, without any hesitation, nodded immediately: "If that's the case, then of course it's great!"
Of course, John Rockefeller knew that the five percent of the shares was not much. However, after enjoying these shares, he could get a high share of oil dividends every year. For a few years, it is pure profit, and it is definitely a good investment.
