1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 644

“Very surprised.” Scrooge smiled, and pointed to a chair next to Dena and said, “Dana, sit here.”

Dena calmed down quickly. Walked over and sat down on that chair. She did not speak, but looked at Scrooge calmly.

At this time, another person walked out of the back room.

“Donald?” Dena stood up.

“Dana Big sis, it’s been a long time since I saw you again.” Donald said, “Dad passed away a few months ago. Mom… Mom wanted to come. It’s just that Mom is sick and can’t go out.”

“Dad…What’s wrong with mom? How is she now?” Dena asked anxiously.

Donald did not come up with nonsense such as “You haven’t gone back for many years, but now you think of Mom and Dad”, because he knows that MacDonald’s people have always regarded goals and careers more than family affection. Many. For example, now Catherine is seriously ill, but Donald did not show up as a filial son to stand by, but for the big deal, following Scrooge, he ran to Ukraine in one breath. And when making this decision, Donald himself didn’t seem to have much hesitation or ideological struggle. The level of hesitation seemed to be the same as that of the old housekeeper of the MacDonald family and Donald’s nanny a few years ago. Of course, if something like this can really impress Dena and allow him and Scrooge to take the initiative in the discussion that follows, it would be nice to do so. However, Donald knew that this would not be of any use. The Macdonald family always distinguished their emotions and interests very clearly. Although Dana is an outlier, she is also a MacDonald.

“According to the doctor, it is a problem with the blood vessels in the brain.” Shi Gaozhi replied, “This has reduced her athletic ability and level of consciousness a lot. But now the condition has stabilized and there is no big problem. Yes, you don’t have to worry too much. Besides, I don’t think you will leave the revolution at the most urgent juncture and go back to United States with us. Right?”

Dena did not answer. Scrooge smiled again and said, “Donald, Dena, you should all sit down first. We may have a lot of things to talk about in detail.”

Both of them sat down again, and Donald sat next to Dena.

“Dana, I don’t want to go in circles with you, it’s boring. When we MacDonald’s talk to our own people, we should be as frank as possible.” Scrooge said, “I came here for two purposes. The first one is that we hope to reach some cooperation intentions with the Bolshevik government. As you know, Dana, for many years, our McDonald family has been facing Europe to some extent, or we have been facing outside America. The socialists of China have maintained their goodwill. Of course, the reason is not noble, and I think you understand.”

“Yes, McDonald’s principle has always been that there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, and everything is for the benefit of the family.” Dena whispered.

“Yes, as a big capitalist, we are born to hate other big capitals. For example, Morgan has been our strategic partner for a long time. But the reason we can cooperate is not because we trust each other, but It is that they have no power to eat us, and if we want to eat them, we must pay a very high price. It is likely that the gain is not worth the loss. And for the time being, we still have a common enemy-the big capital of Europe. But to be honest, a few Years ago, when the old thing finally died, I was extremely happy. Although I respect him very much, this old guy is still dead.” Speaking of this, Scrooge couldn’t help but eat. Laughed. Obviously, even now, Scrooge is still very happy to think of the death of Old Morgan.

“Dana, you also know that under the conditions of a market economy, any industrial country needs a product dumping market, because the domestic demand of any industrial country is less than productivity. So, in other words, United States, or our Macdonald The family is no different from the Germans on this point. We all need more colonies, and we all need more land under the sun. It’s a pity that the earth is too small.”

“Socialist Russia will not become a colony of any country.” Dena’s voice was cold.

“Ah, my dear Dena, you are really wary. However, I am not going to do such a thankless thing.” Scrooge laughed, “I know, you capitalists, The big capitalists, including me, are your worst enemies. In the long run, this is indeed the case. But dear Dana, you have to know that in capitalist countries, big capitalists are not monolithic, and there is also a huge relationship between them. Even in many cases, we hate our own kind far more than hate you. Therefore, you must be good at uniting all the forces that can be united to defeat the most dangerous enemy that threatens you the most. For example, now in Europe. Those old-brand capitalist countries hate you more and threaten you more. For example, Denikin can hit Ukraine in one breath this time, and even Donald estimates that he should be able to win Kiev smoothly. Then threaten it. Go to Moscow and Petersburg. Why can he do this, of course, with the extra war materials provided to him by the Allies.”

“Are Scrooge Uncle you going to dump us the remaining war materials?” Dena asked with a sneer.

“No, no, no, if it’s just such a small business, it won’t be offensive for me, and it won’t even be enough to use Donald. Because we know that the Bolshevik government doesn’t have much hard currency in the hands, and we still know that. What we are looking for is strategy. Cooperation on a level. Because at least for now, for us, Britain and France are more than you Damn it. So we are very willing to support you and use your strength to hold the British and French, and then we have the opportunity to continue to fight their colonies The idea. Dena, I understand so well, you should be able to believe our goodwill, right?”

Dena thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, and said, “So, Scrooge Uncle, what kind of cooperation do you want?”

“I know that you currently lack a lot of things, but it is difficult for us to provide you with anything for the time being, because you are still in a blocked state, and a large amount of supplies cannot be brought in, at least until the blockade is lifted. So. At present, we can help you only very limited, weapons, ammunition, and all kinds of medicines are available, and prices are negotiable, as long as you don’t lose money, but you don’t have to count on the quantity. But I believe, don’t look at Denikin. Jumping so vigorously now, he won’t be your opponent. The army in his hand is just a feudal army made up of livestock. As long as you slow down, he will definitely not be your opponent.” Scrooge After a pause, he said, “After you suppress these guys, you should switch to industrial construction.”

“This is natural.” Dena nodded in agreement.

“But this is not easy. It is not so easy for a late-developing country to complete industrialization. If Russia is surrounded by things like China or Ottoman Turkey, of course you can slowly farm at home and slowly climb the technology tree. .Unfortunately, there are other industrial powers beside you. Britain, France, and even Germany. Don’t look at Germany’s defeat, but its industrial foundation is still there. When necessary, they will become your nightmare. So. Your industrial development must be very fast, very, very fast. You know, Poland has become independent again, and Piłsudski is now leading it. I think you know what Piłsudski is like.” Scrooge Say.”Humph!” Dena snorted softly in her nose. Of course she knew Piłsudski, a fanatical nationalist.

“The French and the British have absolutely no cost to restore Poland. Poland is the first tool used to deal with you. Unlike Britain and France, which have died on the battlefield for almost a generation, Poland still has enough soldiers. I can completely wipe out you as agents of the United Kingdom and France. So my dear Dena, you are really at stake now. If your development speed is slow, armed agents alone will be enough to wipe out you. Even if you can stand it. These agents’ attacks, twenty years later, when a new generation grows up, maybe, Britain, France, and even Germany will deal with you by themselves. That is to say, within twenty years, you We must have enough power to fight against the industrial powers of Europe alone, otherwise, a brand new large-scale anti-Napoleonic war will restore the new Bourbon dynasty. Dana, you think I’m right?”

Dena didn’t answer, she just sat there frowning. She knew that Scrooge was right, but she didn’t want to answer, lest Scrooge Uncle had the upper hand.

“So you need a lot of machines, a lot of technology, a lot of money. All of Europe is full of guys who hate you. From them, you are almost impossible to get these. But as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, you can get from United States, buy these from us. And we also have an additional sales market. You see how good such a win-win thing is.” Scrooge laughed.

But Dena didn’t laugh. She knew that things weren’t so good, and it could even be said that things were very bad. The Soviets must rapidly industrialize. Only the industrial countries can defeat the industrial countries, and only the large industrial countries can defeat the large industrial countries. In just two decades, Soviet Russia must grow into a large industrial country that can stand alone against the entire Europe. This is simply a desperate requirement. It is good to be able to import machines and technology from United States, but it requires money, and it requires a lot of money, and why a backward country is a backward country, isn’t one of the biggest problems is the lack of hard currency?

“Are you worried about the lack of hard currency?” Scrooge seemed to see her thoughts, so he said, “This is not a problem. Export resources. Use this for money, and of course food, which is also a very important export product.”

“These things, especially food, are quite low in price because of the existence of United States.” Dena whispered.

“As long as the quantity is large, it will do.” Scrooge said dismissively, “You can distort the law of value, regardless of loss or loss, and even, when necessary, you can completely tighten the belt of the entire country and adopt the lowest value. The ration system even exports food at the cost of starving a group of people in exchange for machinery. Because of the shortage of food, you starve to death at most millions of people at one time. But if you can’t establish industry as soon as possible, you will face destruction. As for Russia, it must return to the old path of dying hundreds of thousands of people from starvation every year. Everyone’s industrialization will kill people, either from starvation or war. The British have starved to death for countless people. Indians and Irish; the French did not know how many people died in the Napoleonic Wars. We in the United States also killed millions in the Civil War, and we also killed millions Indians and Mexicans. You are no exception and no exception. So, Dena, I’m not worried about your funding at all.”
