Chapter 847 Bearer Account


Chapter 847 Bearer Account

The arrival of Joseph and John Jr. was warmly welcomed by New York Governor Franklin Roosevelt.

Franklin Roosevelt was the nephew of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, so he was also called Little Roosevelt. He received an elite education since childhood and graduated from Harvard University and Columbia Law School.

In 1910, Roosevelt Jr. decided to enter politics as a Democratic Party. When he told his uncle Theodore Roosevelt about this decision, Theodore Roosevelt yelled: You despicable little bastard! You traitor——

During the World War, Roosevelt was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy by Wilson and was elected governor of New York in 1928.

In 1921, Roosevelt Jr. took his family on vacation on Campobello Island. After putting out a forest fire, Roosevelt Jr. jumped into the cold sea water. As a result, he contracted polio and was in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

As early as when Roosevelt was running for governor of New York, Roosevelt's opponents used his health to attack him.

Roosevelt's response was: A governor is not necessarily an acrobat. We choose someone to be governor, not because he can do a forward roll or a back roll. The governor does mental work and finds ways to benefit the people.

The disabled and strong-willed Roosevelt won the trust of New Yorkers with his outstanding eloquence. After being successfully elected as the governor of New York, Roosevelt was successfully re-elected last year.

Just a few days ago, the Republican Party had determined that Hoover would run for re-election on behalf of the Republican Party.

It would still be risky for the Democratic Party to decide to allow Roosevelt Jr. to run.

"What could be more representative of the American spirit than a physically disabled president with a strong will?"

Little John was very optimistic about Roosevelt.

"What do you mean by the American spirit?"

Joseph dismissed the so-called "American spirit" as a way to fool the new immigrants. It was a bit ironic to hear it coming from Little John's mouth.

However, it must be said that the Rockefeller family has indeed realized the so-called "American Dream" in the United States.

From this point of view, the "American spirit" is still somewhat convincing.

Unfortunately, this is also the story of a boy who slays a dragon and eventually becomes a dragon.

"Continuously strive for self-improvement, be independent, and work hard to create a better life!"

Little John's slogan successfully won the applause of Little Roosevelt.

Across the ocean, the Persians also hope to be independent and work hard to create a better life.

The country of Persia is a bit miserable. It was first divided up by Britain and Russia and became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.

After the Russians drove away the British, the situation in Persia did not improve and remained tepid.

Mustache's rise to power provided Persia with new opportunities.

Mustache has always been proud of his Aryan ancestry.

Persia is also of Aryan descent, which laid the foundation for the friendship between Germany and Persia.

In fact, it's all nonsense.

Mustache is Austrian, his father is Germanic, and has nothing to do with the Aryans.

Speaking of countries, Germany has little to do with the Aryans. The Aryan genes of the Germans only account for 19.5%, not even as good as India.

Indians still have nearly 40% Aryan genes.

Shortly after taking office, Mustache publicly stated: Germany and Persia are eternal brothers.

The brothers have little to do with genes. The more important reason why Mustache showed favor to Persia is that Persia has the oil that Germany desperately needs.

The newly discovered oil fields in Persia were discovered by an oil exploration team from Germany.

Vasily was curious and asked Makarov why he had not received any news before.

As expedition teams composed of British and French adventurers disappeared one after another in the deserts of the Middle East, the Middle East has become a restricted area for explorers.

Given Russia's control over Persia, it would be impossible for a German oil exploration team to enter Persia without Russia's consent.

"This exploration team was invited by the Persian government to obtain an application in the name of searching for asbestos——"

Makarov hesitated to speak.

"What else?"

Vasily instinctively felt that there should be other reasons.

"Our consul in Persia not only agrees with this exploration team's activities in Persia, but also agrees with the Persian government to send troops to provide protection for this exploration team. This is the news I just received."

Makarov himself found it difficult to speak.

That's right.

"These nine-wood breeders raised by mother-dogs bring people back and interrogate them severely!"

Vasily was very angry. This was by no means a simple dereliction of duty.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem. If we insist on holding the consul responsible, it would be an oversight at best.

"Our consul in Persia is Grand Duke Konstantinovich——"

Makarov reminds Vasily that this is a member of the Romanov family.

"No matter what his identity is, bring him back first."

Vasily didn't get violent this time.

After the fall of the empire, in order to appease the aristocracy, a large number of members of the aristocracy were employed as diplomats. The effect was very good. The position of diplomat was tailor-made for the aristocracy.

But as time went by, the problems gradually came to light.

There is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

During the imperial era, the aristocracy had a guaranteed harvest despite droughts and floods. The benefits belonged to the entire aristocracy, and the pot belonged to the tsar.

After the fall of the empire, the title system was abolished. Even for the Grand Duke, the annual subsidy was only 10,000 rubles.

For ordinary people, 10,000 rubles is definitely a high income.

For the extravagant aristocracy, especially the top nobles, 10,000 rubles are not even enough for pocket money.

So some people take risks for the sake of money.

After the death of Nicholas the Younger, Dmitry, who had served as ambassador to Persia, became the head of the Romanov family.

Vasily did not go to Dmitri, but came to George first.

"Don't worry, it's time to investigate and deal with it."

George gave Vasily reassurance that the opportunity to integrate into New Russia has been given, and whether he can grasp it depends on himself.

Although George is a noble, he has no special feelings for the nobles. Capable nobles such as Vasily and Felix still hold high positions and play an important role in Russia today.

As long as they are willing to die, George will be willing to bury those who are incompetent, or even those who are trying to survive.

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"

Vasily wanted to see George's excitement.

"I haven't been scolded enough!" George said angrily.

George did receive a lot of scolding, especially on the issue of whether to restore the monarchy.

Just after the civil war, if George wanted to be the czar, no one dared to object. At that time, the most urgent call for George to ascend the throne was the aristocracy.

The reason is very simple. Only by restoring the monarchy in Russia can they maintain their glory and wealth, no matter who becomes the tsar.

It is this group of people who will be most disappointed if George does not ascend the throne.

In order to reduce Vasily's worries, George still said hello to Dmitri first.

After Mannerheim resigned, Dmitry succeeded Mannerheim as foreign minister.

"Konstantinovich - he deserves it!"

Dmitri's attitude is similar to that of George. Guys who cannot keep up with the development of Russia and whose thinking is still stuck in the imperial Russian era are destined to be eliminated.

When Nicholas Jr. was still alive, he established a foundation to help members of the Romanov family who were in trouble. George donated 1 million rubles at that time.

This fund did not run for long, but it became increasingly difficult to operate due to high expenses and lack of sustained and stable income.

After the death of little Nicholas, Dmitry reorganized the foundation, eliminated a group of families that did not meet the subsidy standards, and reduced the subsidy intensity, so that the foundation restarted operations.

Although Dmitry's adjustments were beneficial to the foundation, they offended some people.

Therefore, Dmitri received no less scolding than George.

"Persia is very important for us to control the Middle East. There must be reliable people who are in charge."

George reminded Dmitri not to make similar mistakes again.

Dmitri frowned, not understanding the importance of Persia deeply enough.

George got up and rummaged through the bookshelf and found a geological report submitted by Amur University.

Although Russia has not increased its investment in Persia, it still knows a lot about Persia's mineral resources. The oil field just discovered by the Germans was discovered by Amur University three years ago. This news has not been announced.

Persia not only has oil, but also is rich in copper, iron, coal, zinc, uranium and other mineral resources, with extremely rich reserves.

Persia is not the only country with oil reserves around the Persian Gulf. Najd's oil reserves are only much larger than Persia's.

"If that's the case, why not invest in development?"

Dmitry was surprised. This was no longer guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it, but occupying a latrine and doing nothing.

“Why invest?”

George's heart was colder than the Siberian wind on this issue.

The oil production of the United States and Russia can fully meet the current market demand. Therefore, if they increase oil development around the Persian Gulf, the interests of the United States and Russia will be harmed.

Rockefeller wanted to enter the Middle East with the purpose of extracting oil nearby, offsetting the geographical advantages of Russian oil, and competing with Russian oil in the European market.

Since Russia has the advantage, George is not in a hurry.

Whenever the Americans launch a major offensive, it will not be too late for Russia to develop oil in the Middle East.

"Persia——"

Dmitri looked at the Persian resource distribution map included in the report and fell into deep thought.

George was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, while the Persians were restless.

The Persians used to think that Persia's oil reserves were so small that they were not worthy of Russia's increased investment, so they just stayed calm.

Various Russian exploration teams have come and gone and found nothing, and they have not found any resources worth developing.

The Germans finally found a new oil field, but the attitude of the Russian-Persian Energy Company was extremely indifferent, which made the Persians furious.

But anger is anger. Without strength, it is incompetence and rage. Even if the oil field is in Persia, if Russia does not invest, Persia will not have the ability or qualifications to develop it.

Germans are equally unqualified.

Only the Russian-Persian Energy Company is qualified to develop the mineral resources in Persia.

Yes, the Russian-Polish Petroleum Company has changed its name to the Russian-Polish Energia Company.

The general manager of Erbo Energy Company is Mario's nephew Anthony.

The Russian-Polish Energy Company has a monopoly on the mining rights of all mineral resources in Persia. Without the consent of the Russian-Polish Energy Company, even the Persian government cannot exploit mineral resources in Persia.

The monopoly behavior of the Russian-Polish Energy Company has been strongly opposed by the Persians. Since last year, protests against the Russian-Polish Energy Company have continued in Persia.

A month ago, a protest broke out in Tehran against the monopoly of Russian-Polish energy companies, with more than 10,000 people participating.

"We cannot prove that the protests are related to the German Embassy in Persia, but there is definite evidence that Deutsche Bank has financial transactions with some social groups in Persia."

Victor, the deputy general manager of Russian-Polish Energy Company, is also the person in charge of Alpha in Persia.

Persia's finance is very open, and Deutsche Bank and Siberia Bank have operations in Persia.

As for why Alpha knew about Deutsche Bank's capital mobilization, this is not enough for outsiders.

"Tell Milad to take action immediately."

The Milad mentioned by Anthony is the chief of police in Tehran.

During the walk a month ago, after the police arrived, they only protected the headquarters of the Russian-Polish Energy Company from being attacked, and did not take any coercive measures to disperse the protesters.

Antony contacted Konstantinovich and asked for Milad's dismissal, but Konstantinovich refused because he could not interfere excessively in Persia's internal affairs.

Konstantinovich had good reasons and resolutely responded to Grand Duke Yuriev's call.

Russia did not interfere with Carroll's coup because it was beneficial to Russia.

Milad allowed the Persians to protest against the Russian-Polish Oil Company's monopoly. If this behavior is not resolutely stopped, the Russian-Polish Oil Company's monopoly will be in jeopardy.

Anthony hopes Milad can understand that someone's promise cannot bring real protection to Milad.

The corners of Victor's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing.

If Milad had been resolute, this shouldn't have happened.

Apart from its negative attitude in development business, the Russian-Persian Petroleum Company is almost impeccable in other aspects. It truly makes Persia earn money and spend it without taking any money home.

The Russian Polish Petroleum Company did not invest because it had almost no profit balance and was unable to invest.

There is definitely money to be made from digging for oil. After all, oil itself costs nothing. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a huge profit.

All the oil dug by the Russian-Polish Energy Company is sold to the Siberian Oil Company, which then sells it.

In addition to the company's operating costs, the profits earned must also pay taxes to the Persian government and distribute dividends to the company's shareholders. The remaining balance was directly donated by the Russian-Polish Energy Company to a foundation specially established for Persian women and children. All of it was used to save Persian women and children.

In Persia, it can be said that there is no company with more social responsibility than the Russian-Polish Energy Company. The Persian government is not satisfied with this, and Anthony does not know what step to take to satisfy the Persian government.

Although Milad is not a shareholder of Russian-Polish Energy Company, he receives an income from Russian-Polish Energy Company every year, which is deposited in an bearer account at Siberian Bank.
