Capítulo 1353: Chapter 463: Rothschild’s Misguided Strategy
Now the Venus Bank deeply controls New Jersey and Florida and is also in the process of deeply controlling Texas and California.
At this stage, Donnie is no longer planning to continue expanding on the United States mainland.
It’s not that there’s no energy for it, but it simply can’t be done anymore.
Reaching the scale of Venus Bank, it has already hit the limit on the U.S. mainland. If expansion continues, regardless of Donnie’s relationship with the White House, Congress, or the military, they will all stand in opposition to Donnie.
It’s not just administrative forces, but commercial ones too. This collaboration with Morgan is actually just like this.
Donnie naturally wants to solely control California, but doing so would put him against Morgan, which isn’t a favorable situation for Donnie, at least not at this time.
Recently, the only thing on the U.S. mainland that can still engage Donnie’s attention is next year’s market crash.
“Recently, I need to take a trip. Stay steady here, and if there’s anything you can’t resolve, call Robert.”
Donnie continued instructing Cameron Block.
Cameron Block just nodded at Donnie’s instructions, asking, “Where do you plan to go?”
Donnie waved his hand and said, “It’s not determined yet. But I want to visit various places as U.S. funds have been too abundant in recent years, leading a lot of capital to flow into Europe and other places. I want to see what’s going on over there!”
The Great Prosperity Era brought rapid economic development to the United States. When domestic commerce could no longer absorb these funds, inevitably they flowed abroad, with Europe being a primary destination.
Because of this, when the United States enters into an economic crisis next year and starts withdrawing capital from Europe, it will accelerate the collapse of the European economy, adding insult to injury to an already teetering European economic situation. This is another reason that prompted the outbreak of World War II.
When internal contradictions and crises couldn’t be reconciled, focusing outward and provoking a war could naturally suppress domestic contradictions.
Donnie also wanted to take this time to visit various countries. Since domestic commercial expansion in the U.S. could temporarily hit the pause button, then Donnie needs to look beyond the United States.
War is all about capital.
Donnie even thought about visiting the East during this period, but it all depends on the specific situation at the time.
“Now that you’re leaving, what about the affairs in the Turks and Caicos Islands?”
Cameron Block knew about Donnie’s plans for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Their people had already landed, beginning to train on the islands there.
“The issues over there aren’t ones that can be resolved overnight. First, we need to stabilize the local situation. This is like boiling a frog in warm water; there’s no need to watch constantly!”
Donnie explained.
Upon hearing Donnie’s words, Cameron Block nodded in agreement.
“By the way, before I leave, your wedding with Emma Harrison should also be held!”
Donnie said.
Cameron Block smiled lightly and said, “I have no objections. We are no different from being married now anyway!”
Donnie looked at Cameron Block and laughed, asking, “It seems like you’re quite satisfied with this Emma Harrison!”
“Certainly more satisfied than with Joan Harrison!” Cameron Block laughed as he said.
Donnie nodded and said nothing more.
The influence of the Italian Bank’s results is still continuing. In California, when people from both political and business circles learned that Donnie Block was in Los Angeles, they called one after another, hoping to meet Donnie Block.
For such calls, Donnie stated that he would be hosting a ball in Los Angeles soon, and everyone would be invited to attend!
Hearing Donnie’s words, these people were naturally very happy but also understood that this was actually Block and Morgan declaring their sovereignty in California.
Given that not even the Italian Bank could stand against them, these people naturally didn’t harbor any bad ideas.
The king’s banner changes atop the city walls; we mere commoners need only kneel!
In any case, they were kneeling before, and now it’s just a change of master.
Jack Morgan arrived in Los Angeles.
“For the first time, I find Los Angeles’ air so beautiful!”
Sitting in Donnie’s car, allowing the cool breeze to blow into the car, Jack Morgan said with a smile.
This wasn’t his first time in Los Angeles, but it was the first time he arrived as a master.
Donnie laughed, saying, “If you like it, you can stay here for a while. I remember your Morgan family has an estate in Beverly Hills too, right?”
Jack Morgan waved his hand and laughed, “Forget it, there are still many things to handle back in New York. I can leave matters here to George Whitney.”
In Washington, Donnie and Jack Morgan had an in-depth discussion. Donnie was willing to relinquish the management rights of the Italian Bank, but the Italian Bank needed to assist Breton Bank in completing its layout in California.
Simply put, after discussions between Donnie Block and Jack Morgan, they decided to divide California. In the entire state of California, except for the four banks of Venus, Breton, Morgan, and Italian, other banks must accept their supervision, allowing them to become their major shareholders, or be prepared to be crushed!
