Chapter 1066 This Is Not a Loss of Money, but a Redemption

"Your Excellency Caesar, this is Mr. Rockefeller, Assistant Secretary of State."

In the hotel where Mussolini was staying, Vice President Wallace had just introduced a graceful middle-aged man to Mussolini, and Caesar of the Roman Empire happily went up to shake hands and hug the man. The two were obviously familiar with each other for a long time.

"Nelson, I was just wondering when I could meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you now."

"Me too, leader, it's great to meet you in New York."

The person who met Mussolini under Wallace's introduction turned out to be Nelson Rockefeller, Assistant Secretary of State of the United States. He was an important member of the famous Rockefeller family. In 1940, he entered the American political arena with his deep family background and became Assistant Secretary of State before he was 40 years old.

And the second son of the Rockefeller family (his father was John Rockefeller Jr.) and Mussolini had known each other for a long time. It turned out that the Rockefeller family had a close relationship with Mussolini before the war broke out. Mussolini, who was still the leader of Italy at that time, was considered to have curbed communism and saved Italy from financial bankruptcy. He was also very friendly to foreign capital, so he had many friends in the top capitalist circles in Britain and the United States. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and John J. Morgan Jr. were both friends of Mussolini. Because of his father, Nelson Rockefeller also knew Mussolini.

"Now Rome and the United States are friends," Mussolini said enthusiastically, holding Nelson Rockefeller's hand. "Your investment in Rome will be returned soon, and we welcome more American investment... The current Roman Empire is a very vast country, with more than 7 million square kilometers, only slightly smaller than the United States. There must be oil under those lands. Standard Oil Company (in fact, it has long been dissolved into a bunch of small companies) can go there to find and develop oil fields."

"Of course, we will go there." Nelson Rockefeller shook the dictator's hand and replied with a smile.

He was not perfunctory to Caesar of the Roman Empire, because he knew very well that the Roman Empire was an ideal investment destination. The land is vast, the resources are rich, the labor force is cheap, and there is a national fascist party that can strangle all labor movements and is relatively friendly to capital.

In fact, after Rome and the United States signed an armistice agreement, many American capitalists began to quietly transfer their capital to Rome.

"Nelson," Mussolini, Nelson, and Wallace sat down separately, and he had already got to the point, "World War II was actually a war to divide the British Empire and oppose GCism. If the war is stopped now, there will be only two real losers, Britain and the Soviet Union. Germany, the United States, Rome and Japan are all winners."

"We Americans are also winners?" Nelson Rockefeller gently turned the small coffee cup in his hand and asked in confusion.

"Of course." Mussolini nodded exaggeratedly, "And it won a lot! Nelson, you don't think that the United States has not benefited from the collapse of the British Empire? Before the collapse of the British Empire, could your American troops enter Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda Islands, Bahamas Islands, Trinidad Island, which belonged to the British Empire? Now the United States has the final say there. This situation was unimaginable before the outbreak of World War II.

In my opinion, the real biggest winner in this war is not Germany, but you, the United States!"

Nelson Rockefeller and Wallace looked at each other and actually felt that Mussolini's statement made sense.

If there is a ceasefire now - of course, a ceasefire with Germany, even if Germany does not withdraw from Guyana (which was originally a European colony), as long as the United States can keep the current garrison, how can it not be the big winner of this war?

"As for South America," Mussolini spread his hands exaggeratedly, "Except for the desolate Republic of Guyana, the other territories there are all independent countries, and no one has the ability to turn these independent countries into colonies. Even the Germans can't do this, and they won't succeed. As soon as the world war is over, they will be troubled by the various problems of the European Community or the United States, and it is impossible to invest too much energy and resources in South America.

And for Germany, South America is just a granary for beef and wheat, nothing more. Once they find that everything in South America is not so good, they will immediately withdraw from there."

Nelson Rockefeller, who is in charge of American foreign affairs, deeply agrees with Mussolini's evaluation of South America.

The fat meat of South America looks fat, but it is annoying to eat. Most of the guys in power there, whether they are elected or military coups, are either greedy or crazy. In short, it is impossible to expect them to do things well. As for the people there, they are all loose and muddle-headed. It is a waste for the fertile and rich South American continent to fall into the hands of those people!

But the problem is that the South American continent has been occupied by those guys who speak Spanish and Portuguese. What can the Germans do?

That's a matter of changing the race! How many people are there in Germany? Can they fill up the huge South America?

As for colonizing South America, it is unlikely. The independent countries in South America have been free for more than a hundred years and have long had national consciousness. Moreover, they are not in the same religious and cultural circle as the Germans. If you insist on colonizing, just wait for them to make endless revolutions.

In addition, Germany’s current route in South America is also very clear, which is to support Greater Argentina as the “general agent”, which is obviously not a way to directly establish colonial rule.

However, the Germans still overestimate Peron and the Argentines. Whether in terms of economic, political or military capabilities, they are not enough to maintain a Greater Argentina that includes Chile, Uruguay and southern Brazil...

"Sir Caesar," US Vice President Wallace said to Mussolini with a smile, "I think you may be wrong. We are willing to maintain peaceful relations with Europe, and we have now completely withdrawn from Europe and stopped military aid to the Soviet Union. This fully expresses the goodwill of the United States of America to Europe. It is precisely the European Community headed by Germany that insists on the war route now!"

"Mr. Vice President, you are wrong." Mussolini's bald head shook like a wave drum, "Absolutely wrong... You Americans are now occupying Canada, Australia, New Zealand, British Bahamas, British Trinidad, British Bermuda, British Honduras, and many other overseas colonies belonging to Britain or France. These lands together total It is more than 16 million square kilometers, which is larger than the whole of Europe!

Do you think you can just take the land and wealth belonging to the European Community for yourself? Do you think the European Community will just let it go? "

"Sir Caesar," Vice President Wallace's face was a little gloomy, "You don't want the United States to hand over all these territories to Germany, do you?"

"Not to Germany, but to return them to their original owners!" Mussolini paused, and then said in a earnest tone, "If you are unwilling to completely hand over the land that originally belonged to Europe, you should also give corresponding compensation. For example... 500 billion European marks in exchange for Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras and British and French islands in the Caribbean. I think this is a very cost-effective real estate transaction, right?"

To be honest, this Caesar of the Roman Empire is really a good friend of the American people. In order to save them from the threat of atomic bombs, he really racked his brains.

After listening to Mussolini's "perverse logic", Wallace looked at Nelson Rockefeller. The latter asked: "If, I mean if the United States paid 500 billion European marks, would the European Community give up the war route?"

"Of course!" Mussolini nodded vigorously, "That is beyond doubt! Nelson, don't imagine the European Community as being under the rule of a few warmongers. In fact, the European Community is a relatively loose union of countries that lacks absolute authority. Germany is only the leader of this union, not the master, and has no absolute control. Countries like France, Britain, Russia, and even Spain have their own will in the European Community.

For example, Britain is not very interested in Germany's war route now, and they basically won't do anything. Although France and Russia are willing to follow Germany, they are all for money in the final analysis! France also wants to take back the money deposited with you, and the money invested in Russia before the Soviet Revolution, and also wants to make Paris the financial center of the European Mark zone.

And Russia because The war has turned it into a ruin, and the people are living in poverty and hunger. They are in urgent need of funds, materials and food to restore the economy... In fact, it also costs money! "

Mussolini took a breath and said with emphasis: "As long as you take out the money, the French and Russians will no longer be keen on war. They still have a lot of things to deal with. The Germans are almost the same. They have not had a good life since 1939, no, since the First World War in 1914! If they can get the money, the Germans will go to enjoy their National Socialist Paradise. This is the promise made by the Nazi Party and Hitler in the 1930s! Now is the time to realize it.

So I promise that as long as you are willing to pay enough money to redeem Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras and the British and French islands in the Caribbean, peace will be achieved, and in the next few decades, the European Community will no longer be a threat to the Americas. "
