Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 493 When will it end?

"It's a very interesting metaphor." Gary knew that Chen Yang was resentful, but there was nothing he could do.

He is just an average businessman in the United States and cannot be called a capitalist.

Come to think of it, he only owns a few weapons manufacturing companies and a laboratory, which is still a long way from being in the upper class.

It might be difficult to influence those people's opinions.

"It seems that Mr. Gary is not as powerful as you say," Chen Yang thought, "If that's the case, let's put the pharmaceutical factory matter aside for now."

"I personally think that since your country is so unfriendly to us, I can also choose other countries to cooperate with."

Gary panicked when he heard this.

He knew the profits of the pharmaceutical factory very well. Chen Yang had promised him that he would give him a certain percentage of shares after the pharmaceutical factory was built.

That is an astronomical figure. The profits after the pharmaceutical factory returns to normal will be enough for him to enter the upper class society. It would be a pity if he gave up such a good opportunity.

Gary said cautiously: "Mr. Chen, you don't want to withdraw your investment, do you?"

"You don't have to make a decision so hastily. Maybe I can go talk to those people again."

"Withdraw investment? That's millions of dollars. How can we withdraw investment?" Chen Yang's words made Gary feel a little relieved.

But what happened next made Gary's heart rise to his throat again.

"I mean to put it aside for now and wait until the right time to start construction. This time may be three to five months, or it may be ten to eight years."

"I will wait until I think it is appropriate to start."

"You know, the world is not just the United States. Our teams have already started building pharmaceutical factories in the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Germany."

"When the time comes, the United States will need to import drugs from foreign countries. I believe Mr. Hull will regret his decision."

"Hull, are you talking about the Secretary of State? What does this matter have to do with him?" Gary didn't seem to know much about politics.

"Mr. Gary, you are not so naive as to say that Hoover needs penicillin."

"He doesn't need political capital. Who do you think needs political capital?"

Gary was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, "You mean..."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. When you return to the United States, you can put the pharmaceutical factory matters aside for now and wait for them to come find you."

"To be honest, delaying it for a year or two won't have a big impact on me. I'm just worried about not having enough energy."

"Aren't you afraid of offending them and being blacklisted by doing this?" Gary was still a little worried.

Chen Yang shook his head and said confidently: "I believe that in the face of huge benefits, all power will give way to it."

The White House, United States...

Secretary of State Hull delivered an investigation document to Franklin.

"This is the latest authoritative British medical journal's article on penicillin."

"We found a professional medical authority in China to prove that the records in this journal are highly credible."

"This penicillin has a 90% cure rate for inflammation. It is indeed a special medicine."

"Mr. President, was our previous decision too hasty?"

The President smiled and said, "Mr. Hull, you are too sensitive. It's just a drug. We have enough medical scientists to produce exactly the same drug."

"I am more worried about a German war in Europe now."

On September 1, Germany declared war on Poland. It took only 47 days to capture Poland, an hour to destroy Denmark, five days to capture the Netherlands, 18 days to defeat Belgium, and 39 days to defeat France.

The Free France led by General Charles de Gaulle claimed to have the strongest army in Europe and the most perfect Maginot Line.

Now it seems like a joke.

Previously, the French even tried to get the British involved, but unfortunately, London was being bombed by German planes and they also had no time to help them.

"We should have joined the war." The President sighed.

The situation in Europe was so bad that he was eager to make a move. He instinctively believed that the United States should seize this opportunity and become the biggest winner in this world war.

Unfortunately, those in Congress always feel that doing so will not help the United States in any way, just like the last time they entered the war.

They were fooled by the British and French forces and did not gain any real benefits.

"We are expanding our military and preparing for war." Hull certainly understood his partner's thoughts.

"The Navy has been expanded, and we've got the Burke-Wadsworth Selective Service Act passed. Everything is going in the right direction."

"But there is a problem here, that is, whether the next president supports the United States' participation in the war..."

"Yes, the next one." The President sighed and did not respond to his companion's test. He was silent for a while before looking at Hull again.

"Can you please call Barkley over?"

"Congressman Alban Barkley?"

Hull smiled and said, "Of course, it seems that I am lucky and don't need to walk too far. When I came in just now, I saw that guy was already here. Now, he must be outside the door."

"Knock, knock, knock," Not long after Hull left, there was a knock on the door, and an old man with sparse hair pushed the door open and walked in.

"Franklin, I heard you were looking for me." Alben Barkley was a very influential senator in the United States Senate. He was the majority leader in the Senate and later became Truman's vice president.

Now, the two have a very good relationship because of their firm support for the President’s “New Deal” and other measures.

"Nothing, I just want to get your opinion on something."

"Mr. Hull just talked to me for a few words. I know what you want to say." Barkley scratched his sparse hair and said, "If you want to ask for my opinion, I still think we should not act rashly."

"At least we have to see which way the war is going before we decide whether to fight or not."

"Also, as you know, the U.S. president only has two terms in office. The general election will be next year. If we make a decision now, it will cause a lot of trouble for the next president."

“Unless, you can become the first president to serve three terms.”

The President was stunned. Although the history of the United States is not long, there have only been two presidents.

Is it possible to break the rules and gain succession authority?

Buckley seemed to see through the president's intentions and smiled, "You are the greatest politician I have ever met."

"I think the American people need you, and I think the people of the world need you."

A warm smile suddenly appeared on the President's face.

"Mr. Buckley, I think your concerns are very correct. Well, let's wait until the election is over and then we can decide whether to leave or not."

After hanging the water for a day, people are dumbfounded...
