Chapter 1090 This is not a loss, but a redemption
"His Excellency Caesar, this is Mr. Rockefeller, Assistant Secretary of State."
In the hotel where Mussolini was staying, Vice President Wallace had just introduced a handsome middle-aged man to Mussolini. Caesar of the Roman Empire was very happy to go up and shake hands and hug the man. The two of them had obviously known each other for a long time.
"Nelson, I was thinking about when I could see you, but I didn't expect to see you here."
"So, leader, it's great to see you in New York."
Under Wallace's recommendation, the person who met Mussolini was the assistant secretary of state of the United States, Nelson Rockefeller, who was an important member of the famous Rockefeller family. In 1940, he entered the American politics with a deep family background and became an assistant secretary of state at the age of 40.
The second son of the Rockefeller family (his father is John Rockefeller Jr.) and Mussolini had known each other for a long time. It turned out that before the outbreak of the war, the Rockefeller family had a close relationship with Mussolini. Mussolini, who was still the Italian leader at that time, was believed to have curbed GCism and saved Italy, which had financially bankrupt, and was also very friendly to foreign capital. Therefore, there were many friends in the top capitalist circles in Britain and the United States. John Rockefeller Jr. and John Morgan Jr. were both friends of Mussolini. Because of his father, Nelson Rockefeller also knew Mussolini.
"Rome and the United States are friends now," Mussolini said enthusiastically, "Your investment in Rome will be returned soon, and we also welcome more American investments... The Roman Empire is a very vast country, with more than 7 million square kilometers, only a little smaller than the United States. There must be oil under those lands. Standard Oil Company (actually disbanded into a bunch of small companies) can go there to find and develop oil fields."
"Sure, we will definitely go." Nelson Rockefeller replied with a smile, holding the dictator's hand.
He was not perfunctory to Caesar, the Roman Empire, because he knew very well that the Roman Empire was an ideal investment destination. It had vast land, abundant resources, low labor prices, and a national fascist party that could kill all labor movements and be more friendly to capital.
In fact, after Rome and the United States signed a truce agreement, many large American capitalists began to quietly transfer their capital to Rome.
"Nelson," when Mussolini and Nelson and Wallace took their seats separately, he was already on the topic. "World War II was actually a war to divide the British Empire and oppose GCism. If the truce is immediately right now, there are only two real losers, namely Britain and the Soviet Union. Germany, the United States, Rome and Japan are all winners."
"We America are also winners?" Nelson Rockefeller gently turned the small coffee cup in his hand and asked in confusion.
"Of course." Mussolini nodded exaggeratedly, "and won a lot! Nelson, you don't think the United States did not benefit from the collapse of the British Empire, would you? Before the collapse of the British Empire, could your American troops enter Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Trinidad and other colonies belonging to the British Empire? Now the United States has the final say. Such a situation is simply unimaginable before the outbreak of World War II.
In my opinion, the real biggest winner in this war is not Germany, but you America!”
Nelson Rockefeller and Wallace looked at each other and thought Mussolini's statement made sense.
If the current armistice is of course a truce with Germany, even if Germany does not withdraw from Guyana (which was originally a European colony), as long as the United States can maintain the territory of its current garrison, how can it not be the big winner of this war?
"As for South America," Mussolini spread his hands exaggeratedly, "there are other territories except the desolate Republic of Guyana, and no one has the ability to turn these independent countries into colonies again. Even the Germans could not do this, and they would not succeed. As long as the world war ended, they would be troubled by the various difficulties of the European Community or the United States, and it was impossible to invest too much energy and resources in South America.
And for Germany, South America is nothing more than a granary for beef and wheat. Once they find that everything in South America is not so beautiful, they will immediately withdraw from there."
Nelson Rockefeller, who is in charge of American diplomacy, deeply felt the same way about Mussolini's evaluation of South America.
This piece of fat in South America looks fat and tastes annoying. Most of the guys in power, whether elected or coming to power in 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 mediocre people. Such a fertile and rich South American continent is a waste to fall into the hands of those people!
But the problem is that the South American mainland has been occupied by those who speak Spanish and Portuguese. What tricks can the Germans have?
That's a question of a person's change! How many people are there in Germany? Can they fill the huge South America?
As for colonial rule in South America, it is unlikely that those independent countries in South America have been free for more than a hundred years, have long had a national consciousness, and are not in the same religious and cultural circle as the Germans. If they insist on colonial rule, they will wait for them to make revolution endlessly.
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 direct way to establish colonial rule.
However, the Germans still highly value Peron and the Argentines. Whether in terms of economic, political or military capabilities, they are not enough to maintain a greater Argentina, including Chile, Uruguay and southern Brazil...
"His Excellency Caesar," said US Vice President Wallace at this time with a smile to Mussolini, "I think you may have made a mistake. We are willing to maintain peaceful relations with Europe, and we have now completely withdrawn from Europe and suspended military aid to the Soviet Union. This fully expresses the goodwill of the United States of America to Europe. Now that the line of war is adhered to is the European Community led by Germany!"
"Mr. Vice President, what you said is wrong." Mussolini's light head was shaking like a wave drum, "It's totally wrong... You America still occupy 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 are more than 16 million square kilometers, which is larger than the entire Europe!
Do you think you can take the land and wealth that belongs to the European community for yourself like this? Do you think the European community will give up like this?"
"His Excellency Caesar," Vice President Wallace's face was a little dark, "You don't want the United States to hand over all the above territories to German rule?"
"It's not handed over to Germany, but to the original owner!" Mussolini paused, and then said in a bitter tone, "If you don't want to completely hand over the land that originally belonged to Europe, you should also give corresponding compensation. For example... 500 billion European marks were exchanged for Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras and British, French islands on the Caribbean Sea. I think this is a very cost-effective real estate transaction, right?"
To be honest, Caesar of the Roman Empire was really a good friend of the American people. He racked his brains to save them from the threat of the atomic bomb.
After listening to Mussolini's "fallacies", Wallace glanced 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 route of war?"
"Of course!" Mussolini nodded vigorously, "That's undoubtedly! Nelson, don't imagine the European Community as being under the rule of several war madmen. In fact, the European Community is a relatively loose and lacking absolute authority in the national community. Germany is just the leader of this community, not the master, and has no absolute dominance. 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 much. Although France and Russia are willing to follow Germany, they are ultimately for money! France also wants to get back the money that exists in you, and also get back the money invested in Russia before the Soviet Revolution, and want to build Paris into a financial center in the European Marks region.
Russia has become a ruin because of the war. People live in poverty and hunger. They urgently need funds to restore their economy, supplies and food to fill the people's belly... In fact, it also requires money!"
Mussolini took a breath and said in a stressful tone: "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 similar. They have not lived a good life since 1939, no, since the First World War in 1914! If they can get the money, the Germans will have 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 fulfill it.
