Chapter 813 Patriarch
Although the Dolgorukov family's business in the United States has hit new heights under the leadership of Joseph, the focus of the Dolgorukov family is still in Russia.
Little John’s reminder is correct. If Joseph wants to truly gain the trust of the United States, he must take the initiative to cut ties with Russia.
Joseph took care of himself in front of little John, and then warned his eldest son, little Joseph, not to be deceived by these people.
The reason why the Dolgorukov family was able to gain a foothold in the United States was not only because of the right time, place and people, but more importantly, someone’s golden finger.
Standard Oil, founded by John Sr., monopolized 80% of the U.S. refining industry and 90% of the oil pipelines at its peak.
On May 15, 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that Standard Oil Company was a monopoly based on the Sherman Antitrust Act promulgated in 1890, so Standard Oil Company was split into 34 regions sex oil company.
Although Standard Oil was split up, the Rockefeller family still holds 25% of the shares of these 34 oil companies. The oil kingdom founded by John Sr. continues to monopolize the US oil industry in another way.
The Dolgorukov family’s monopoly on the American automobile industry is even greater than Rockefeller’s monopoly on the oil industry.
The Dolgorukov family has shares in all current automobile companies in the United States.
As for how many white gloves of the Dolgorukov family are on the boards of directors of those car companies, only Joseph himself knows.
When Henry Sr. founded Ford, he only held 25.5% of the shares.
If the reason why Dolgorukov did not follow in the footsteps of Rockefeller, it was not closely related to George’s reminder.
The Dolgorukov family's success in selecting the final winner in every election in the United States is entirely due to George's golden finger.
American politics and economy are inseparable. From the president to congressmen, there is a financial backer behind everyone.
The United States will hold another general election next year, and this time the Dolgorukov family will select Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who is running on behalf of the Republican Party.
It is foreseeable that if Hoover is really elected as the next president of the United States, then Hoover will definitely introduce a large number of policies that are more beneficial to the Dolgorukov family.
Even if these policies will have some negative impact on US interests.
This is the return on the Dolgorukov family's investment in Hoover.
So the reason why the Dolgorukov family became prosperous in the United States was not by hedging their bets or starting from scratch, but by being on the right team at every critical moment. inside.
Think about why Roosevelt wanted to dismantle Standard Oil.
You will understand the importance of taking sides.
“But if we cannot truly integrate into the United States, we will never be truly accepted by the United States and cannot provide enough help to the family when it needs it.”
Joseph’s reminder was timely, Little Joseph was seriously poisoned.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Joseph was furious.
Little Joseph remained silent.
If Joseph couldn't reason with his mouth, he would use his belt to reason.
“If it weren’t for the millions of troops held by the Archduke, we would have been wiped out by these Angsa and Hebrews!”
Joseph asked little Joseph to go to the chapel. Relearn the history of the Dolgorukov family.
The grass on the grave of the last American patriarch who betrayed the Dolgorukov family is already ten feet high.
George is also the patriarch of the Yuriev family. Although Polis and Alexander have become kings, they still send their children to Russia for a month every year to cultivate their relationship.
The core of the third generation of the Yuriev family is George, the eldest son of Polis, and Nicholas, the eldest son of Alexander.
Little George, who is in elementary school, inherited George's tall stature. He was already over 1.6 meters tall when he was just 10 years old. He will definitely be a big man in the future.
Nicola, who has just started to walk, has very obvious maternal characteristics. His black hair and black eyes are particularly eye-catching among a group of blond children.
During the time when the children are in Russia, Elizabeth and Shen Jun will also accompany the children to live in Russia. Due to the long distance, Alexander can only return to Russia once a year, but Polis comes and goes frequently, and it is very convenient to fly.
The conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ended with Italy admitting defeat.
The Italian Navy has become much more honest in recent times, and even the Italian fishermen have stopped competing with Yugoslav fishermen for fishing grounds.
What Felix was most worried about has happened. The Kingdom of Italy and the United Kingdom have become increasingly close in recent times. The Royal Navy will hold joint exercises with the Italian Navy within the year.
“Are the results from Australia out?”
George's focus was still on the Imperial Conference. "London basically agrees to the independence of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. These three will continue to remain in the Commonwealth. The Imperial Conference is discussing some details."
Alfa is very well informed. Reports about the imperial meeting were sent every day.
"Huh——"
George was dismissive, the dignity of the British Empire could hardly cover its buttocks.
"Canberra is negotiating with Theo. Once Australia becomes independent, Theo may rejoin the Australian Federation."
Mannerheim admired George. George had predicted today's outcome before the Imperial Conference. .
"Who will be Prime Minister?"
George does not want Australia to break up.
If Australia falls into division, Russia will have to spend more to win over Canberra.
Even if Theo rejoins the Commonwealth of Australia, he will gain greater autonomy than before.
If Gordon becomes Prime Minister of Australia, it will be a complete surprise.
"There is a high probability that it is Gordon——"
Mannerheim did not finish his sentence.
The result of the Battle of The Pass fully proved Gordon's courage. Without Theo's independence, Canada and Australia would have to wait several years for independence.
The British attitude towards the Anzacs has broken the hearts of Australians, and most Australians will vote for Gordon.
The United Kingdom not only allowed Australia and New Zealand to become independent, but also took back some concessions in East Asia, and its influence in East Asia was declining.
After Baldwin returned from the United States, he immediately visited France, hoping to re-alliance with France.
The current Prime Minister of France, Raymond Poincaré, who served as President of France during the World War, was hesitant to re-alliance with Britain.
After Germany joined the Russian Grand Alliance, the Russian-German Alliance once again became a threat to European security. If France wanted to fight the threat, it could only choose to form an alliance with Britain.
But an alliance with Britain may also be counterproductive and further affect European security.
Although the comprehensive cooperation between Russia and Germany includes military affairs, it does not include foreign wars. If Germany tears up the "Contract of Versailles" and provokes a new war, Russia has the right to remain neutral.
If France forms an alliance with Britain, it is hard to say whether Russia will remain neutral by then.
But without an alliance with Britain, if war breaks out between France and Germany again, France will be isolated and helpless.
Poungale was still very smart. He did not respond to the British request for alliance immediately. Instead, when he visited Russia, he tentatively raised the possibility of a French-Russian alliance.
The world wars caused France to lose a generation. To this day, the population has not only failed to recover, but has continued to decrease.
Everyone knows that the Germans will definitely retaliate.
Last time France escaped with help from Russia.
Who will be the savior of France this time.
Poungale's hope is still Russia.
"Of course, we welcome all countries to join the Russian Grand Alliance-"
Felix's enthusiasm made Poincarai feel some warmth.
Just a few.
Russia’s allies are hierarchical. If a comprehensive cooperative relationship cannot be reached, it will only be an economic alliance, which will not be of much help to security.
It is easy to form an alliance with Russia. As long as the colonial market is opened to Russia, France can receive Russian protection.
But protection——
Puengale thinks the situation is not that bad yet.
