"Boss, you came out earlier than expected." Seeing Morgan coming out of the White House, his assistants hurried up to greet him.

"Since they are not prepared to talk, it is a waste of time to stay. My time is also very precious." Morgan took the coat handed by his assistant and said with a cane, "Tell our people to prepare a team of lawyers immediately. I want the whole country to

The best lawyer, a man who knows all the loopholes in the law, inform the Rockefeller Estate and I will visit him immediately."

Many businessmen pay attention to the concept of time, and Morgan is no exception. Since they parted on bad terms, he immediately did not want to stay in Washington. Between waiting for the train and taking the bus, he directly chose to leave by car, having already made reservations on the way.

Went to the next stop and took the train back to New York.

"This group of people is just greedy. We pretended not to see the coexistence of U.S. Steel and Carnegie Steel, but they have always turned a blind eye to the goodwill of the federal government. Where we help them, they think it is natural and do not agree with it.

The local government thinks we are deliberately causing trouble, so should the country serve them?"

Morgan left quietly, and neither Roosevelt nor Knox came out to say goodbye. After learning that Morgan had left, Roosevelt said these words to Knox.

"Actually, that's how they are. Making money depends on their own abilities, and losing money is because the country has not done its job well. As you said, people are selfish." Knox sighed, knowing that what Roosevelt said was absolutely true.

He opened his mouth and said, "The decision has been made, we have to think about where to attack and make our position clear first."

Wall Street bankers who were waiting for news from Morgan, as well as the two railroad giants Hartman and Hill, soon learned of the news and understood that the White House was determined to destroy Northern Securities Company.

"This bastard really dares to do this? Can no one stop him?" Hartman cursed extremely corruptly, "Economy and politics have always been in peace, and this president uses political power to interfere with the economy. If future presidents

If we all learn from him, how can we live a peaceful life for a day?"

The news came back faster than Morgan's return. Now all the stakeholders know that a confrontation is inevitable. What Morgan sent back also shows that there can be no chance. The stakeholders here have already begun to take action.

, of course, the final decision on how to act and what means to use depends on Morgan’s wishes.

Before Morgan returned to New York, the White House spokesperson had already revealed Roosevelt's intention to the outside world through a speech, and stated that the president would soon deliver a national address on the alleged monopoly of Northern Securities Company.

Morgan had just returned to New York when Roosevelt gave a national address. In this national address, except for the part where he repeated the same old tune about Roosevelt's unfair competition with Northern Securities Company, the rest used data as a substitute to show that the railways

The freight pricing charged by the system has caused huge obstacles to the travel of small and medium-sized farmers and ordinary citizens. It does not help economic development, but has obvious negative effects.

The broad class of citizens have long been dissatisfied with the arrogance of the railway system. As president, he must solve this problem. This is a contribution to national development.

"Compared with the huge assets of Northern Securities Company, the money needed by lawyers is no longer a problem." In the Rockefeller estate, major shareholders of Northern Securities Company such as Morgan, Hill, and Hartman came together to visit the old Rockefeller.

Although the old Rockefeller came forward, he made a gesture of listening and said, "Now I leave all business matters to John. I only manage the charity foundation and the medical industry.

development, these things are very beneficial to the United States."

Morgan just heard this casually. Once the medical industry becomes a dominant player, it will almost become another Standard Oil Company. Walking on two legs is not new. For Morgan, the banking industry is naturally the most important, and the insurance industry and electricity are also important.

Nowadays, everyone is developing across industries. Although each has its own foundation, who can make too much money?

"If Mr. Morgan asked us about the opinion of the Rockefeller family, whether we support this issue or not, of course we support it. The president should not interfere in economic matters, which may cause the abuse of public power." Rockefeller Jr. had already thought about it.

On this issue, they directly expressed their position, "The Rockefeller family will give Mr. Morgan the help he needs at the appropriate time, and will never take a contrary position on this matter. This is our attitude."

Hearing the younger Rockefeller's statement, both Hartman and Hill beamed with joy. Morgan looked at the older Rockefeller who was sitting upright. The latter nodded solemnly, indicating that this was what he meant.

"Then it's a showdown!" Morgan regained his arrogance and said, "If you want me to admit defeat, there's no way!"

"Uh-huh!" Sheffield shivered twice and hurriedly pulled up his pants. Evelin also arranged her clothes, pretending that nothing was wrong, and said resentfully, "You are the only one who can do it secretly in your own home.

This matter."

"Isn't the current environment bad? I can't help it. Once I am sure that Alice will love me deeply, it will be fine then." Sheffield said with a smile, and another wave of eachother made Evelin happy.

.

In the past few days, Alice Roosevelt has been rejecting any move by slave owners to deepen their relationship. The reason was that it was unsafe. Sheffield even wanted to ask the Union Bank to quickly send over a few female employees so that the boss could conduct a face-to-face assessment to see if they could do it.

Worthy of a great responsibility.

In the end, there was no choice but to solve the physical problem first, risking the risk of exposing flaws in this Truman world.

Alice Roosevelt has already revealed that she wants to go back. How could Sheffield agree to this? After all, he had just lost the election and he was in a low mood. He had to feel better before he could let her go.

It just so happened that news had arrived from Houston that the submarine had already made preliminary trials, so as to take the president's daughter to the south first. But before leaving, Sheffield felt that he needed to make Evelin happy first.

"I'll contact you when Alice returns to the White House, and you can come over again." Sheffield held Evelin's hand, with shameless energy written all over his face.

"If I don't go, you will be a beast." Evelin rolled her eyes at the slave owner and said duplicitously, "I can't let you take advantage of it in vain."

Knowing that Alice Roosevelt was a curious woman, Sheffield used the excuse of the submarine trial to let Alice Roosevelt go back for a period of time, and used all the hard work to lick the dog. Sheffield finally achieved his goal and made up for the election.

The days of low mood due to failure will not end so soon.

"Knox, have you arrived in Washington? Yes, that's great!" Attorney General Douglas nodded while holding the phone. "Long before the president wanted to take action against Northern Securities Company, the state had already been prosecuted and the investigation was completed.

It’s been ongoing, and of course it’s still under a lot of pressure.”

Against Northern Securities, the progressive movement in Minnesota has already filed a lawsuit against Northern Securities in the federal district court in St. Paul, Minnesota, before the U.S. federal government.

"Attorney General Douglas, the evidence you collected earlier is really important. I didn't expect you and the president to think about it together. Now Morgan is liaising with everyone, but the position of the president and I will never change." Knox expressed firm support:

"If your prosecution under Minnesota law fails, give me any evidence that shows Northern Securities violated federal law, and I will prosecute it personally."

"In this way, we will be the first to prosecute, but Knox, this lawsuit will almost certainly get bigger and bigger. Our prosecution here can only be said to be the beginning." Attorney General Douglas said, "It's okay to win, but lose.

Northern Securities Company will definitely not be convinced in the future and will continue the lawsuit to the higher court, so you have to be prepared."

"I know these big companies very well." Knox said with a smile. He was a corporate lawyer himself and knew the weaknesses of big companies. "The Ministry of Justice will also let you know about the investigation of Northern Securities Company."

The prosecutor brought it back, so we exchanged information and increased the evidence in each other's hands."

For Knox, it was great to be able to investigate at the same time as the local state court. It was almost as if someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy. He immediately summoned people from the Department of Justice to record the investigation sent to the Department of Justice from Minnesota.

At the same time in New York, a team of well-known lawyers in the United States has been formed to represent Northern Securities Company in a legal battle with the federal government.

"Any abuse of public power that causes harm to enterprises will eventually be thwarted." The New York Times used this headline to celebrate the emergence of such a large team of lawyers to provide support for Morgan and the Rockefeller family and Wall Street bankers who backed it.

, the railway giants cheered.

When the New York Times used such a headline to make news, it was obvious who it was leaning toward. Many Wall Street bankers pointed out that Morgan was fighting against the country in his own name. Regardless of whether the final result was victory or defeat, he was worthy of the country.

A model, this kind of action of adhering to the truth and not fearing power is worth learning from everyone.

"Go forward, Morgan, the empire is prosperous by fighting here!" The slave owner holding the newspaper danced. Alice Roosevelt pushed the door open and said full of doubts, "What did you say just now? What do you mean?"
