Chapter 105

In fact, Li Feng is still very interested in these. After all, in previous lives, these famous consortia have been rumored all over the world, but they are only rumors.

Seeing that Li Feng was interested in these things, Uncle Wang also became interested and talked about some unknown American imperial politics, consortia and so on.

Fortunately, these are the secrets that those rich families know, and they do not pay special attention to them. They do not involve the private secrets of some rich families, nor are they within the scope of confidentiality.

Of course, Uncle Wang is not the kind of lifelong housekeeper, and the content he knows is understood through those emerging families and rich people.

In fact, like their relatives, the housekeepers of many rich families know all aspects of a family very well. These housekeepers are lifelong, and even many have been handed down for generations to serve the rich family.

Uncle Wang said that he had contacted many family housekeepers. His grandparents and grandchildren served as housekeepers for a family for three generations. These housekeepers have been very close to the rich family.

Although Uncle Wang did not elaborate on such a family and lifelong housekeeper, Li Feng can also guess that the United States has such a little time after all. These legendary families are no more than Morgan, Rockefeller and other legendary secret families that control the world.

"The United States has been inseparable from political families and consortia since its founding. Major political families and consortia have played various important roles in its internal and foreign affairs.

Margaret Michelle, the author of the famous American book gone with the wind, whose father is a historian, once said to his daughter, "there are two opportunities for a person to get rich, one is when the country is rebuilt, the other is when the country is in war, and war is a good opportunity to get rich."

This "truth" is also applicable to countries. Through one war, especially two world wars, the United States made a lot of war money, made a lot of money, and gradually became a global overlord from the British "colony".

In this process, the figure of American monopoly consortia, especially military industrial groups, has always been behind the U.S. government.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the American Life magazine published an interesting religious Q & A Dialogue:

Question: "Charles, who created the world?"

A: "in 4004 BC, God created the world, but in 1901, James Hill, Pierpont Morgan and John Rockefeller reorganized the world."

......

In the dialogue, James Hill is an American Railway tycoon and financial tycoon, Pierpont Morgan is the head of the incomparably rich Morgan consortium, and John Rockefeller is an American oil tycoon.

These people were the leading figures in the United States at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that the three people "roared" and the whole North American continent would "shake three times".

Finley Peter Dunn, a famous American journalist and humorist in the early 20th century, described Morgan in his works: "Pierpont Morgan called one of his office staff. He was the president of the national bank.

'James, take some money out of the bank and buy me Europe,' said Morgan. 'I want to reorganize it and make it pay me all the time.' "

Although the above description is exaggerated, it is not excessive. The monopoly consortium such as the Morgan family is simply a "God like existence" in American political and economic life. The familiar arms giants such as general dynamics and Grumman are members of the consortium.

In 1900, Theodore Roosevelt, then vice president of the Republican Party, invited the then Secretary of the army, elieu lute, to his banquet for Pierpont Morgan.

He wrote, "I hope you can come to my party for Pierpont Morgan. You see, this means that I'm trying to become a conservative in contact with a powerful class. I think I need some encouragement. "

......

A year later, then President William McKinley was assassinated by anarchists, and Theodore Roosevelt, 42, succeeded him.

After Theodore Roosevelt became president, he pursued Monroe Doctrine, implemented expansion policy, built a strong army and interfered in American affairs. Undoubtedly, these policies were very much in line with the appetite of the American monopoly Consortium at that time.

The Morgan consortium, born in the early 19th century, played an important role in many fields such as American financial industry, steel industry, railway industry and arms industry. In its heyday, the Morgan family basically monopolized the capital exchanges between Britain and the United States.

It was the financial support of the Morgan family that enabled the United States to win the first World War; The Morgan family also "pocketed" the American Railway Industry and steel industry, and Morgan's merger and reorganization of the American railway industry is even called "American Railway Morgan".

In the financial field, the Morgan consortium has "covered the sky with one hand". The company has cooperated with the Rothschild family to provide 3.5 million ounces of physical gold to the U.S. government, stabilized the gold standard system, and turned the tide in several financial crises.

Before the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the Morgan consortium was the de facto "Central Bank of the United States".

......

Now the chemical giant DuPont group, which sells "paint", was also an arms dealer. Every rapid development of the company is related to war.

Since the DuPont family created the first batch of black gunpowder in 1804, the DuPont family has grown from a small workshop to a global arms giant with "bloody profits" and "company performance" all the way.

We can see how the DuPont family made a fortune from the war only from the first World War. After the outbreak of the first World War, DuPont soon received countless orders.

From the outbreak of the war to the end of the year, without increasing equipment and personnel, just six months later, DuPont's total gunpowder production had reached 13 times the normal production. By the time the United States entered the war in April 1917, DuPont's gunpowder production capacity had reached 54 times that of 1914.

During World War I, 40% of the shells fired by the allied group used DuPont's explosives and gunpowder.

Most importantly, the production cost of smokeless powder per pound was 31 cents, while DuPont sold to the allies for 97.5 cents, with a profit of 2.2 times the production cost.

The bloody profits are so attractive that DuPont group will certainly not refuse the war. When necessary, he will actively "launch" the war to grab excess profits.

......

In 1963, then US President Kennedy, who planned to end the Vietnam War, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, which is the "territory" of American arms dealers.

Although there was no evidence to prove that Kennedy's death was related to his intention to end the Vietnam War, Johnson, who succeeded him, quickly expanded the scale of the Vietnam War and upgraded the Vietnam War from "special war" to "local war".

In order to expand the Vietnam War, Johnson did not hesitate to conceal key intelligence, including a key report that believed that the United States had little chance of military victory in Vietnam and an analysis by the Central Intelligence Agency.

One of the consequences of Johnson's persistence in expanding the Vietnam War was that the major American military fire merchants made a lot of money in the war, and the DuPont family achieved a "big harvest".

Among the 40 companies that have signed the most contracts with the Pentagon, 8 are companies under the DuPont group, and DuPont alone has made $1 billion from arms contracts. The total revenue of companies under other consortia in the Vietnam War was US $15 billion to US $17 billion.

Many of these materials have been declassified or reported. It can be seen that American politics and consortia are inseparable. If you want to develop in the United States, at a certain stage, you must understand the truth behind this country. "

......

"Uncle Wang, do these consortia and families still have such peak influence and financial resources?" Li Feng was a little surprised and asked with a cold breath.

Listening to the news of the assassination of several presidents and various arms giants, although Li Feng also heard a lot of rumors in his previous life, Li Feng heard such a detailed statement for the first time.

"Ha ha, don't worry. It's impossible to have such a great influence. Although the influence of these consortia and families is still there, it's impossible to recover to its peak."

Looking at Li Feng's puzzled look, Uncle Wang replied with a smile, and then spoke again.
