Rebirth

In fact, Li Feng is still very interested in these. After all, these famous consortiums in previous lives have been heard 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 US imperial politics and financial groups.

Fortunately, these are the secrets that the wealthy families know, and they don't pay special attention to them. They don't involve the private secrets of some wealthy families and are not within the scope of confidentiality.

Of course, Uncle Wang is not the kind of lifelong housekeeper, and what he understands is also learned through those emerging families and rich people.

In fact, many housekeepers of wealthy families, like their relatives, are very knowledgeable about the secrets of a family. These housekeepers are lifelong, and many of them have been passed down for generations to serve the wealthy family.

Uncle Wang said that he had come into contact with many family housekeepers. Three generations of his grandparents served as housekeepers for one family. These housekeeper families have become very close to the rich family.

Although Uncle Wang did not elaborate on such a family and lifelong steward, Li Feng can also guess that the United States has only so little time after all. These legendary families are nothing more than Morgan, Rockefeller, and other secret families that control the world. Up.

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

Margaret Michel, the author of the American masterpiece "Gone with the Wind", whose father is a historian, once said to his daughter: "There are two opportunities for a person to become rich. One is the country. When rebuilding, the other is when the country is at war, and war is a good opportunity to make money."

This "reason" is also applicable to the country. The United States has made great fortunes through wars, especially after two world wars, and has made a lot of money, and has gradually become a global hegemon from a British "colony".

In this process, the US monopoly consortium, especially the military industry group, has been behind the US government.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the American magazine "Life" published an interesting doctrinal question-and-answer dialogue:

Question: "Charles, who created the world?"

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

......

In the conversation, James Hill is an American railroad tycoon and financial magnate, Pierpont Morgan is the head of the wealthy Morgan consortium, and John Rockefeller is an American oil tycoon.

These few people were all leading figures in the United States at the time. It is no exaggeration to say that if these three people "roar", the entire North American continent will "shak three times."

Finley Peter Dunn, a well-known American journalist and humorist in the early 20th century, described Morgan in his works as follows: "Pierpont Morgan called one of his office workers, he is a national The president of the bank.

'James, take some money from the bank and buy me Europe,' Morgan said,'I want to reorganize it so that it keeps paying me.'"

Although the above description is exaggerated, it is not excessive. Monopoly consortia like the Morgan family are simply "gods like existence" in American political and economic life. Arms giants such as General Dynamics and Grumman that we are familiar with are all members of the consortium.

In 1900, the then Republican Vice President Theodore Roosevelt invited Elihu Root, then Secretary of the Army, to a banquet for Pierpont Morgan.

He wrote: "I hope you can come to my banquet for Pierpont Morgan. You see, it means that I am trying to become a conservative in contact with powerful classes. I think I need some encourage."

......

A year later, then President William McKinley was assassinated by anarchists, and the 42-year-old Theodore Roosevelt succeeded the president.

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

The Morgan Consortium, which was born in the early 19th century, occupies a pivotal position in many fields such as the American financial industry, steel industry, railroad industry, and munitions 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 in World War I; the Morgan family also "acquired" the American railroad and steel industry. Morgan's merger and reorganization of the American railroad industry was even called "American Railways". Morganization".

In the financial field, the Morgan Consortium is even more "one-handed". The company once teamed up with the Rothschild family to provide 3.5 million ounces of gold to the US government, stabilize 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 "U.S. Central Bank."

......

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

Since the DuPont family produced the first batch of black powder in 1804, the DuPont family walked on the remains of soldiers, along with "blood profit" and "company performance" soaring, growing from a small workshop to a global arms giant.

We can see how the DuPont family made a fortune from the war only from World War I. After the outbreak of World War I, DuPont quickly received numerous orders.

From the outbreak of the war to the end of the year, without adding equipment and personnel, in just 6 months, DuPont’s total gunpowder production had reached 13 times the usual production. By April 1917, when the United States entered the war, DuPont’s gunpowder Production capacity has reached 54 times that of 1914.

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

Most importantly, the production cost per pound of smokeless gunpowder at that time was 31 cents, while the price that DuPont sold to the Allies was 97.5 cents, and the profit was 2.2 times the production cost.

The bloody profit is so attractive, the DuPont Group will certainly not refuse the war. When necessary, he will actively "launch" the war to grab excess profits.

......

In 1963, the then-U.S. President Kennedy, who was planning to end the Vietnam War, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, which was the “turf” of American arms dealers.

Although there is no evidence that Kennedy's death is related to his plan to end the Vietnam War, Johnson, who succeeded him as president, rapidly expanded the Vietnam War and upgraded the Vietnam War from a "special war" to a "local war."

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

One of the consequences of Johnson's stubbornness and determination to expand the Vietnam War was that the major American arms dealers made huge fortunes in the war, and the DuPont family gained a "big harvest."

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

Many of these materials have been declassified or reported. It can be seen that American politics is inseparable from financial groups. 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 the same peak influence and financial power as before?" Li Feng asked with a bit of surprise, taking a breath.

Hearing the news of the assassination of several presidents and various news about various arms giants, although Li Feng had heard a lot of rumors in his previous life, it was the first time that Li Feng heard of such detailed statements.

"Haha, don't worry, it is impossible to have such a big influence. Although the influence of these consortium families is still there, it is impossible to restore to the heyday."

Seeing Li Feng's suspicious expression, Uncle Wang smiled and replied, and then he said again.
