New Staff of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Chapter 373: Congress Speech One

Containers are not as big as later generations. After all, container cranes are needed for loading and unloading. However, this kind of thing has not yet been made. Only smaller ones can be designed. However, Wesley has specified the future model of the container. This is his patent. If you want to use it, you need to use his standards.

Wesley didn't wait long. After handling some corporate affairs, he was notified and three days later, he gave a speech on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Wesley left the military academy and headed directly to Washington, but the traffic is really unbearable now. It took him three days in New York State to get to the capital of Washington.

After a one-night rest, I was picked up early the next morning. "Young man, don't be nervous, speak carefully. You don't know. After I come back, I will work hard with Mr. President, and this is the result of this speech." Pershing personally Wesley, who went to pick him up, talked to him on the carriage.

"Don't worry, I know these guys better. All they need is benefits."

"Can you give them benefits?"

"Of course." Wesley said confidently.

Wesley will give a speech in the congress hall. Pershing directly leads Wesley to get acquainted with the venue. The central podium faces the semicircular seats of congressmen arranged in a trapezoid shape, and there is also a two-story platform around it. , I can hold a lot of people here.

After waiting for an hour, Wesley tidied up his military uniform, tucked his general cap under his arm, and walked directly into the hall, and the chattering hall instantly quieted down.

Wesley stepped onto the podium, put his military hat on the table, and looked around for a week before saying: "You all know me, and many people know better. After all, I have encountered hundreds of assassinations in a year. I think My popularity in the United States should be very high."

Wesley's words made the scene quiet. This kind of thing was brought directly to the table. This guy is really bold. The congressmen are all spokespersons for the consortium, although the US consortium is not very powerful.

Wesley looked at them and laughed, "Do you know why I succeeded? Do you know how to make money? In my opinion, you don't know how to make money. A group of stupid guys know that they have been exploiting workers for more than ten hours of labor. Time, what do I say? I can only say that it is stupid. You pay the workers, but they can't spend it because they don't have time and energy."

Chi Guoguo's ridicule didn't save a bit of face, and Pershing was nervous, but he couldn't interrupt Wesley, here is Capitol Hill! This young man is too mad, the councillor has already fried the pot, and even cursed them directly here.

However, Wesley paid no attention to their clamor, and would not respond to them. Instead, he continued: "Do you know why I implement the eight-hour work system? Because these eight hours are the most experienced time for people, and there is one break in between. Hours, then the workers only need to stay in the factory for nine hours a day. This way they will have the energy to go back home, and they can go out to consume even a glass of beer. This way, farmers, wine merchants and taverns can make money, yes Does this make sense?"

Wesley asked, while the members of the assembly below calmed down, Wesley continued: "Money, it is money if it flows, and it is a number if it is placed there, then how can it flow?" Wesley looked at it again. Look at the following, "Look, you don't know anymore, so you can't, you can only use some shameless means, it is easy to clean up you, do you want to try?"

Mr. President couldn't stand it anymore, "cough cough..." Wesley smiled happily. He is not afraid of anyone. Now there is no nuclear bomb. Who is he climbing?

"Now I even talk about the problem of our country's army. Soldiers have two states, one is war loading, and the other is war preparation. But now look at our army, how many infantry divisions are there? "

Wesley's two states made the generals who were in the audience's eyes brightened, and they began to look forward to it.

"You don’t know what to tell you, so I’m still talking about money. How to make money? The army needs equipment. Equipment is not just weapons, but also clothes, shoes, summer clothes, winter clothes, food, cigarettes, and of course soldiers. After they took the military salary, they held it in the barracks. Don’t they consume it? There are so many unemployed people, why don’t they put them in the barracks? There are also warships. You build them only when you feel the danger, but a warship can feed it. How many companies?"

"The research and development of military equipment also drives the people's technology. Can't you see these? Technology can increase productivity and save production costs. Have you seen it? What does Britain rely on to be so rich? It is a colony, but you always hold yourself in front of you. If we don’t let things go, we don’t need colonies, we need free trade, but how do we get free trade? Strength, gentlemen, you are here to study the problem, but how to solve the problem? Strength is still strength."

"Without strength, we can't guarantee anything. Without strength, your demands are just a pile of shit. Without strength, we can't even sell the goods. The strength we need." Wesley finally roared.

Then he calmed down quickly, and then said: "The war in Europe will soon burn. I think many people know this, but how long will the battle on the battlefield last? Many people say that it will be over in a few months, but I said no. A new mode of war has emerged. This war will sweep the world, involving dozens of countries and hundreds of millions of people. It will take several years to end. Maybe you don’t believe it.”

"But it doesn't matter. This is not your specialty. You only need to know how to make money. Strengthening the army, perfecting the standing army and the reserve is a top priority."

"Military officer, do you want to sell your arms?" a member of the assembly suddenly shouted from below.

"Hehe, if I don’t buy it in the United States, I won’t sell it abroad? Nobody wants it. I don’t have to worry about selling patents and designs. Can’t you understand what I just said? How to make money? You haven't learned it yet, but it doesn't matter. I think someone will learn it. If you want to make money, you must let the money circulate so that the workers have time to spend. It's that simple."

Wesley paused again. The following guys have already begun to think. The thing that scolds them is just a small thing. Making money is the big thing. Wesley has studied these guys very clearly. In this era, it is necessary to become a member of Parliament. If you have money, or someone supports it, you won’t be selected at all.
