Chapter 301 Carnival

The situation on the peninsula suddenly deteriorated and the war suddenly broke out.

This news first appeared on the desktop of all American minds like lightning, and then it was the news newspaper broadcast.

That night, Henry Caesar and Mario Gianini, who were already anxious, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Is war good news?

Of course not for the general public, but for some people, the opposite is true.

Henry Caesar is one of the latter, and the ones who are most popular are those who sell planes, gunpowder, and warships.

These people are very powerful in the United States and can be collectively called military-industrial complexes.

Morgan and Rockefeller have countless military-industrial enterprises under their two major consortiums, and are naturally important members of the military-industrial complex, but the two are not equivalent or affiliated.

As soon as the war broke out, the mouthpieces raised by military-industrial enterprises began to become active, and someone entered the White House that night.

Since the end of World War II, these military-industrial enterprises have not had a good life (compared to the past).

Henry Morgan and David Rockefeller, who received the news, lived in different places, sighed at the same time.

“Henry Caesar has good luck.”

Why do you say that? Caesar Steel is not a military-industrial enterprise?

The reason is very simple. For the upcoming war, military-industrial enterprises have to start producing hard again. Whether it is aircraft, tanks, or warships, these all require a common material, that is, steel.

Without steel and other companies, it's a big deal.

Due to World War II, California is now a major military-industrial state, and it is good at producing two weapons, one is aircraft and the other is warship.

Let’s not talk about the former, but the latter is a big steel consuming player.

As the largest steel company in California, Caesar Steel is the largest supplier of ship-made steel.

At a time when military enterprises need to re-start production, there must be no problem with the supply of materials, and everything must be given up.

If Morgan and the others don’t let go, with Henry Caesar’s control over Caesar’s steel, they will definitely make this big, and Morgan will have to retreat.

Since that's the case, it's better to stop now.

Someone is asking, hasn’t the Morgan Consortium penetrated into the military-industrial enterprises in California? Why don’t you just use Caesar Steel’s materials?

And doesn’t the Morgan consortium have the largest steel company in the United States, American Steel, so why don’t you use your own things?

Of course, this is not impossible, but as long as you know how to calculate some accounts, you won't do this.

Because the production base of the US steel is in Pennsylvania in the eastern United States, and the shipbuilding base is on the west coast, the two are more than a thousand miles apart. If Morgan really does this, he will understand that he will have to spend more freight and time after thinking about it.

And these are not necessary to spend.

Since a consortium is a consortium, its first purpose is to seek wealth and will never do such completely unnecessary stupid things.

...

June in California is like a stove.

This can not only describe the temperature, but also describe the current folk atmosphere.

Of course, the popularity of California people is not because of the warships and transport fleets gathered at the port, nor because of the ongoing California gubernatorial election, but because of the California Centennial Commemoration.

Yes, the enthusiasm of the people for the California governor's election is not very low. This is not to say that they do not care who the next governor is, but that there is no suspense for the candidate - since the current Governor Earl Warren announced that he would participate in the election again.

Unlike the lively governoral election four years ago, the Democratic Party launched a competitive candidate to compete with Earl Warren with hope. This year, the Democratic Party seemed very calm. During the primary election, Earl Warren got the qualifications steadily, but the Democratic Party could not come up with the right candidate. This is because everyone knows that it is impossible to win Earl Warren, so those qualified people are unwilling to run away, and those with low qualifications and want to show their faces to increase their popularity cannot pass the primary election. In the end, the Democratic Party really had no choice but to send out the last candidate. Currently, the Democratic Party, the son of the former president, James Roosevelt, finally made the scene less embarrassing.

As for the outcome, you can tell by looking at the effort James Roosevelt spent on the campaign - after the primary election in early June, the boss had never been to the campaign office once because he went on vacation to Alaska.

...

California's Centennial Commemoration is one after another, very lively.

The White House and the new United Nations were in chaos due to the situation on the peninsula.

East Asia was not the focus of the Truman government, so it was caught off guard after the war broke out. However, with the support of intelligence officials and friendly people with lobbyists, the Truman government set the tone for handling the matter.

That is, the war on the peninsula is unjust, and the United States and the United Nations need to uphold justice for South Korea, the victim.

Therefore, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 83.

So a team from the White House began to prepare a new budget.

So, military business owners began to hold banquets everywhere, and the members of the parliament were indispensable guests.

So, the Supreme Emperor of Japan and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan began to loosen the ties to Japan.

Everything is going in an orderly manner.

More than a month after the war broke out, the U.S. Congress passed a request from the president and secretary of state to allocate $12 billion for military operations on the peninsula.

Some people have been happy for a long time, and even the luxury of the banquet has increased a little.

At this time, Evan moved out of his office in Ingwood and came to Rosemead.

His new company, Applied Semiconductor, works here.

Rosmeade is located in the southeast of San Marino, two kilometers away. The reason why the new company is placed here is that it is close to San Marino's residence, so that you don't have to go out too early in the morning, so that he can have time to get too tired of Audrey. Secondly, Rosmeade's land price is cheap, which makes Evan easily encompass a large area of ​​land.

However, although Applied Semiconductor Company occupies a large area of ​​land, its office conditions are much worse than other companies. The company's signature is only an ordinary two-story low building. The former owner of the building is Southern California Edison Electric Company.

By the way, this company is Rothmead's largest employer, with its main business in electricity and production of lamps.

In addition to that building, the site where semiconductors are being used is under construction, which is a laboratory under construction.

Although the building is shabby, the company's staff is neat enough. In addition to the financial and administrative personnel who maintain the company's operations, the research team is also very strong.
