No!

Probably not!

Doug immediately denied his thoughts.

Because, Vanderbilt is a businessman.

The most important thing for a businessman or a capitalist is to make money.

In order to make a profit, they have too many things to sacrifice.

Just a child, even the eldest son or even the carefully cultivated eldest son. If you die, you will die.

No action done after death will bring him back to life.

Moreover, all retaliatory actions will only bring losses.

Therefore, Vanderbilt was able to become the richest man of his time and he would not do such a thing.

Could it be...

Is there any news that supports his price increase?

Could it be that something goes wrong with the shipping?

Why are there any problems with shipping?

Could it be that the British or French fleet is already on the way?

Such thoughts passed through Doug's mind.

However, he did not persist in this idea for too long.

Because, this is unlikely.

Although Britain wants to interfere in American affairs, Britain is destined to be unable to do so in America at this moment.

This is the case not only in North America, but also in South America.

If the British fleets really came to America from afar, they would face not the American fleet, but the Spanish and Portuguese fleets.

Although, in other parts of the world, Spain and Portugal were almost all hung up and beaten by British fleets.

But in America, it's completely different.

For the Spanish and Portuguese, who do not have too many colonies in other parts of the world, all their overseas interests are in the Americas, and they will definitely not allow the British to go to America at will.

As for France, their focus is on Africa at this moment.

In working hard to safeguard their rights in Africa.

After supporting the United States to complete the War of Independence, France's interference in the Americas can be said to be almost gone.

Then why?

Could it be...

Is there anything else that threatens shipping?

Doug worked hard to sort out his ideas, and suddenly he thought of something.

Recently, with the release of Tom and Doug's picric acid sales.

Although picric acid is very expensive, it sells very well.

Among them, the vast majority of the picy acid flow directions are very clear.

Those manufacturers who have obtained picric acid have no competition with Winchester Weapons.

However, there is still a small department whose sales are unknown.

Before, Doug thought this part of the chorionic taste was sour, and finally returned to the hands of the southerners.

They will use these picric acids to learn to make grenades and more powerful cannons in the north.

However, it seems that it is not that simple now.

If you want to threaten maritime shipping.

A word suddenly popped up in Doug's mind, that is - "torpedo"!

That's right!

It's a torpedo!

Torpedoes are not new.

However, in the past, torpedoes were not very powerful due to explosives.

The boat may also receive impact.

For large ships with many cabins, there are only some losses.

However, if a torpedo is made with explosives that are hundreds of times stronger than previous ones, such as picric acid.

Then it is not impossible for a torpedo, a weapon that could only be blocked by rivers, torpedoes, torpedoes, which originally could only be blocked by rivers.

You know, although the sea surface looks extremely wide.

However, there are also waterways.
