The number of deaths in the south and north is rising sharply.

The hatred between the two sides gradually reached an irreconcilable level.

Once the north conquers a southern town, the scorched earth strategy will be implemented and everything here will be turned into a scorched earth.

And the same is true in the south.

But in such a time of endless death, there were high-level figures from the south sitting in front of Doug.

Of course, the place where the two met was not in New Haven, but on the sea far away from the route.

"Your Excellency, I need the goods you produce," said the large plantation owner in the south in a very gentle tone.

Doug did not answer immediately, but looked casually at the liquid in the goblet in front of him.

The war has been going on for half a year.

The south was unstoppable from the beginning and gradually began to fall into a deadlock.

This is not because there is a problem with their fighting will, but because there is a big problem with their equipment supply.

Originally, during the US-Mexico War, the south of the United States was able to continuously obtain houses purchased from Britain and France from sea.

Since the Civil War began, the abominable Yankees sent a large number of ships to block the southern coast.

These ships are not big, and the gun caliber on them is also very small, which poses no threat to the port.

However, they can intercept and harass cargo ships at much faster speed than cargo ships.

Although the supply line was not completely blocked, the north was also making every effort to expand the scope of the war and increase the intensity of the battle. In this way, it became increasingly difficult to replenish material supplies in the south.

Although Britain and the United Kingdom have invented the bomb coal block.

When a ship that hollows out the coal blocks, plugs explosives in the middle, and relies on coal as the power, once these coal block bombs are poured into the combustion chamber, it will cause damage to the boiler at the least, and at the worst, it will cause a large fire.

However, after taking effect a few times, I became smarter and it was difficult to achieve any effect again.

At this time, the plantations in the south were very uncomfortable.

Originally, they looked down on the poor people in the north, but now they have discovered a problem that they can't spend even if they have money.

However, if it is still going on, the southerners will not sit still and wait for death, but are constantly looking for ways to break the deadlock.

Finally, they finally found another way to obtain supplies.

It's just to buy it from the northerners.

That's right!

Just buy it from the northerners!

In this era, although the planters in the south had never learned any materialistic dialectics.

However, they knew very simply that one thing was that businessmen were always profit-seeking.

Since they can sell goods to governments and troops in the north, they will definitely sell them to governments and troops in the south.

However, they bear the risk of selling to the north because the price is lower.

If they sell to the south, they will bear higher risks and higher prices.

As for the arguments such as patriotism and support for the system.

Forget it!

Who doesn't know who?

They contacted some merchants, and they did, as they wanted, with a double premium or a triple premium, and they could buy supplies.

However, although I bought it, it was still not enough.

Many people may not have imagined how terrifying the consumption of war is.

In almost every battle, the bullets consumed must be calculated in tens of thousands of rounds.

And every bullet is not cheap.

In addition, there are also losses, including the gun itself.

After many twists and turns, they came into contact with top businessmen like Doug.

Doug was not in a hurry to speak because he knew that these southerners were more anxious than him.

Because, for him, the price of not being able to sell those weapons and equipment is only to make less money.

For these southerners, if they buy back supplies one second later, more people will die and closer to failure.

Sure enough, the person on the opposite side saw Doug not speaking, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can sell the supplies to us, we will offer you the prices of twice the prices of these supplies. Wait, no! We offer three times!"

Doug finally spoke, "He said, this is not a matter of money. You must know, let the others in the north know what kind of behavior is it to sell supplies to you south? I am not a devil, and I will not sell my soul a little money.

However, I heard that Mexico seems to have a strong demand for war supplies recently. I wonder if you know?"

"Mexico?" The representative of the south was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted and said, "Yes! Yes! They just lost the US-Mexico War and are not at all willing!

They want to buy a lot of supplies and counterattack the United States!”

"That's right! That's it! But I don't know very well what supplies they need. I believe that with your intelligence network, you can definitely find out what they need.

There is a saying that goes very well, the enemy is a friend.

Since the north is now fighting a war with the south, I think I am a member of the north and there is no problem with the enemy of the Mexican Southerner."

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank God! I will hand over the Mexican material demand list to you as fast as possible."

"Well, okay. I hope the purity of the Mexican Eagle Ocean is still the same as before." Doug said that, and stood up and left.

War has always been one of the fastest ways for capitalists to make a fortune.

And, in most cases, there are no so-called patriotic capitalists.

In other words, the more wealth a capitalist has, the more unpatriotic he is destined to be.

Why is this?

This is because the state is just a fictional concept, a concept that condenses people with people.

It is not even very different from religion.

For modern countries, their common concept is basically based on nations.

For ordinary people, having mutual recognition can increase their probability of survival.

However, for big capitalists, no matter which country they are in, they still have wealth.

And they have huge wealth, they can have more social influence.

Let the government of this country make concessions for his interests.

For him, it's the same everywhere.

For them who can change their country at any time, they will naturally go wherever they can make more money.

The same is true for Doug.

However, one of the biggest differences between Doug and the previous capitalists is that he is not that naked.

This is not because he is cautious by nature, but because he never underestimates the power of ordinary people.

If we say that the Clayden Consortium, which is now centered on Bank of America, is a behemoth.

An ordinary person, in front of it, is like a pitiful and humble little ant.

However, when there are enough small ants, they can still subvert the behemoth.

Of course, no one in the West in this era has realized this.

Therefore, all the capitalists still look extremely arrogant.

And their arrogance will only push the ants to their opposite side and make them condense together, and one day they will encounter a strong backlash.

So Doug said he had a batch of things that he wanted to sell to Mexicans.

In this way, even if the people who did not fight against the South in the future would find that the southerners actually used the same standard equipment as theirs on a large scale.

The Clayden consortium can also explain their original intentions and accused the Mexicans of being too low in combat.

Even if some people doubt it, when most of the voice is in the hands of the Clayden Consortium, they will not encounter too much doubt.

As for, many years later, the truth of the matter was discovered, what does it matter?

After all, things and people had changed at that time, right?

Franklin is a black man, and his first and last name are both Franklin.

Because Franklin is his master's surname.

At this moment, Franklin was lying in a room with a red cross printed on it.

Although he would see people who were once adjacent to him every day, covered with white cloth on his head and lost his life.

However, he was still very grateful to the people here.
