Chapter 429: Opponents of Congress

At the beginning of the twentieth century, it was easy to move a little bit about the number of deaths. As long as you want to do this, you can do it all, and there are slave owners in solidarity with the people. This is the truth.
As for the actual number of deaths, there is no need for statistics at all. What does the statistics do? It is useless to stay. On this day, the martial law order in California officially announced that it would be maintained for one month. This month is enough to smooth out all traces.
In the suburbs of downtown San Francisco, San Francisco citizens who received temporary tents were still in order under the guard of the San Francisco police department. Mayor Eugene Smith arrived here and vowed to severely punish suspects who took the opportunity to rob and set fire to the law-abiding The citizens demanded a fair return.
As for the impact of this major earthquake on the outside world, it caused a short-term shock in the New York stock market, but the stock market returned to a stable state a few days later. Being in Los Angeles, but this influence was not ignored by the slave owner. In Anne of Arlington, the telegraph came to inform this matter.
"After the Boer War, in order to make up for the loss, the British began to raise interest rates in the banking industry. A lot of capital has been drawn from the United States. This time the Russo-Japanese War, the imperial Russia and Russia failed badly and needed investment. Many other European powers are leaving the market. Europe Central banks around the world have generally raised interest rates, which has caused a large amount of gold capital to quickly flow back from the United States to Europe. "Sheffield replied in a telegram that stated," This time the San Francisco earthquake, once the federal government invests heavily in reconstruction, the cash on the market will be Even rarer. "
After the demonstration effect of entering the industry from Morgan's overall situation, the demand for capital by enterprises is hungry. In the United States, many individual companies have turned into joint-stock companies in recent years, issuing water-bearing stocks and making huge profits from them. The huge demand for capital has prompted excessive borrowing by US institutional and individual investors, and a financial institution, a trust and investment company, was born. Trust companies, like investment banks and hedge funds in later generations, enjoy investment businesses that many commercial banks cannot operate, but they are extremely lacking in government supervision. This has led trust companies to overabsorb social funds without restriction and invest in high-risk, high-return industries And the stock market.
"But the steel industry is still more secure than other stocks, dear, be careful of the stock market crash. As far as I know, half of the bank loans in New York are in the stock market. It really happened. I do n’t know how many people jumped. But I believe that Morgan certainly It ’s okay, this old man is too smart, and it ’s time for the crisis to come. "
"Last point, contact Edith Rockefeller and let her contact the republican MPs who have been with her. Oppose the federal government's reconstruction of San Francisco. With our presidential personality, the opposition is definitely invalid, but I only have one reason to manipulate public opinion. Yes Just delay the reconstruction resolution for a few days, Edith definitely has friends in this regard. "
After dictating the telegram, let the person send the telegram to Arlington, he should be doing something serious now. It ’s not about what Morgan is about to do. Morgan must have a headache now. More than 60% of the insurance business in the United States is not under the direct control or indirect control of Morgan. Now the city of San Francisco is destroyed. Countless people are holding insurance policies to prepare claims.
If it is normal, it is certainly nothing. Now, although it may be nothing, but after the dismantling of northern securities and companies, and the fact that the Japanese-Russian war loan cannot be recovered, it must be enough to make Morgan sweat.
That was Morgan ’s problem. Naturally, Evelyn had to deal with the claim. The slave owner forced the Chinese worker to transfer the property to himself and gave it to Evelyn as soon as he changed hands. This had nothing to do with Sheffield.
What he has to do now is to wait for Republican lawmakers to dispute the reconstruction proposal and then use newspapers to let California citizens know about it.
Then I began to prepare my brains for the San Francisco shipyard. Sheffield's impression was that the peak of the San Francisco shipyard was after the San Francisco earthquake. The shipyard's dock was once the largest in the world. The entire site is close to 3,000 acres. Only in the Newport News shipyard afterwards did this happen.
It can be compared with the Newport News Shipyard for a period of time, which is enough to prove the strength of the San Francisco Shipyard. It is important to know that Newport News Shipyard is not only the largest shipyard in the United States, but also the only shipyard capable of designing and constructing nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and replacing and overhauling nuclear fuel for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Newport News Shipyard is responsible for the construction of all nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the Federal Navy. It is also one of the two largest nuclear submarine manufacturing plants in the United States and half of the destroyers. According to the products produced by Newport News Shipbuilding Company, it is no exaggeration to be called a national treasure.
As for the other national treasure of the United States, of course it is Lockheed Martin, Lockheed Martin and Northport Grumman, the parent company of Newport News Shipyard. It's a company that can't be measured by money. Lockheed Martin has more codes than the world-famous Microsoft.
These two companies have guns in their hands, and three of the world ’s four largest grain merchants have grain in their hands. The combination of military and agriculture is the foundation of the hegemony in the United States.
As for the basic industrial field, the United States is definitely not invincible. Let ’s not mention the 100-year-old industrial-scale invincible Republic, because before the Republic hanged the United States on a scale, the United States had faced such an opponent once. Most of the industrial fields are beyond the United States, and the scope beyond is not small.
For the San Francisco shipyard, Sheffield is bound to get, but wait for news from Washington.
President Roosevelt was still very concerned about the San Francisco earthquake. It was just the initiative of the main railway to California that made it difficult. And the railway owners who entered the west were the two giants of the northern securities company that had just been dismantled, Hartman and Hill.
After the Northern Securities Company was dismantled, Hartman and Hill now thought of Roosevelt. There was a long-lasting feeling of unrequited hatred. What ’s more, there were good reasons. It was not that the two people deliberately interrupted the railway. The government's call, in fact, the step-by-step renovation, no one can take them.
On Capitol Hill, Roosevelt is telling bipartisan lawmakers when the plan to rebuild San Francisco will begin. Although Roosevelt was born in New York and is also a senior Republican, he knows that these are not the main factors at this time. San Francisco must be rebuilt. If a city is destroyed by natural disasters, the federal government will not ignore it. The authority of the government is a huge blow.
It should be understood that the federal government has long been regarded as a decoration by large enterprises. President Roosevelt happened to be a strong president. He had just passed a series of antitrust laws, dismantled trust companies, and renewed the authority of the federal government. If at this point indifferent to the situation in San Francisco, then the authority that the federal government has just established will soon disappear.
The most important thing is that there is already a boss of a large enterprise, which has moved faster than the federal government and has reached the disaster area.
So this is not a question of whether to rebuild, but the decision of when to pass the rebuild. Roosevelt believed that the problem should be small, but he did not expect that after the complaint was completed, the first objection came from the Republican camp. Senior MP Mitchell had already received an endorsement fee in New Orleans, he was very old, and his support was not Gao Gao decided to carry out a cash out and spoke against reconstruction.
After President Roosevelt's complaint was completed, Mitchell first said, "Mr. President, this is an unprecedented earthquake. The intensity of the earthquake has caused the interruption of the railway that mainly enters California. The earthquake even felt in Nevada, but at present The number of deaths reported by the San Francisco City Government is only a few hundred. I suspect that the California state government has concealed the death numbers. "
If the slave-owner saw this scene here, he would definitely admire, where did Edith Rockefeller find the councilman, who was so smart that he could see the truth in one bite.
"San Francisco has been damaged so badly that it has lost the need for reconstruction, which is equivalent to letting San Francisco citizens live on a crater." Mitchell's voice echoed in Congress, causing many people to whisper, thinking he said Makes sense.
This earthquake was the largest earthquake encountered since the founding of the United States. Compared with the number of deaths reported by California, it was very suspicious.
Even the members of the Democratic Party have spoken aside, but they have not achieved a great cross-party coalition. Instead, he saw opposition voices within the Republicans, echoing two sentences that blocked Roosevelt every day.
"As the central government, the federal government is responsible for the citizens of the entire country, rather than calculating the cost. It is worth noting the reconstruction funds. Now the citizens in the disaster area are suffering. We are considering here whether it is worth the problem." President Roosevelt With a strong attitude, "citizens of every state are very precious, and they are watching the reaction of the federal government."
"Then, after careful calculation, how much money is needed for the appropriation." Mitchell's purpose is not to oppose the end, but to let this proposal pass not so smoothly. The Ministry has come up with a detailed plan to agree to this. Taxpayers ’money cannot be spent so easily."
This time the proposal was not approved on the same day, and Sheffield learned the news immediately stabbed the process to the Los Angeles Times. Create an inherent impression first, and finally pass, and the Californians will not thank the Republicans.
