America 1919

But staying still doesn't mean we can't react to this matter.

Jack Morgan returned to his seat and dialed Anthony Rothschild's number in Washington.

"Mr. Anthony Rothschild, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Going to Washington alone without your partner is not a pleasant thing."

Anthony Rothschild had actually been waiting for Jack Morgan's call. If Jack Morgan didn't call, he would continue to have doubts about this matter.

"Then Mr. Jack Morgan, can you explain to me why Donnie Block suddenly appeared in Washington?"

Jack Morgan said angrily, "Does Donnie Block report to me wherever he goes?"

Anthony Rothschild wasn't upset by Jack Morgan's anger, but rather relieved. After all, Jack Morgan's attitude at least indicated that there was no collaboration between Morgan and Block.

"Then let me explain to you, Mr. Morgan, that your partner, Mr. Donnie Block, came to Washington right after we decided to take action against the Italian Bank. He's lobbying the White House and the Treasury Department to promote the nationwide networking of commercial banks. I think you are very aware that if this lobbying is successful, all of our previous plans for the Italian Bank will fail. Now you should know why I came to Washington, right?"

Jack Morgan could not accept Anthony Rothschild's explanation: "Even so, before going to Washington, you should have met with me instead of suddenly leaving New York, turning it into a hub of rumors!"

"Isn't Wall Street always a hub of rumors?" Anthony Rothschild nonchalantly replied, and then continued, "If I meet with you, Mr. Morgan, what can we talk about? You can't leave New York now, so I have to come to Washington. Since the result is the same, what's there to say?"

Jack Morgan became even angrier; this explanation he still could not accept. This is not a matter where the intermediate steps can be omitted just because the result is the same.

"At this moment, I finally understand why Donnie Block has always been wary of your Rothschild family. Mr. Rothschild, your explanation doesn't satisfy me!"

"Then there's nothing I can do. Maybe only when our plans succeed in the future, will you trust me again!"

Both parties hung up the phone; it was apparent that this conversation was unpleasant.

.

Washington!

"From Jack Morgan's tone, I feel that the possibility of them collaborating with Block is not large!"

Anthony Rothschild remarked to Nate Rothschild after hanging up the phone.

This time, there were four forces involved in the Italian Bank incident.

Morgan, Rothschild, Giannini, and the last appearing Donnie Block.

Before this, it was Morgan working with Rothschild against Giannini. But in fact, Amadei Giannini secretly contacted Anthony Rothschild, and after reaching a mutual agreement of interests, they planned to stab Morgan in the back.

And at this critical moment, Donnie Block suddenly appeared and got involved.

From the current situation, Donnie Block has an alliance with Anthony Rothschild and Amadei Giannini.

But based on Donnie Block's relationship with Morgan and Rothschild,

Anthony Rothschild can never fully believe that Donnie Block is on the same side as them in this matter!

Now their phone conversation with Jack Morgan has considerably reduced Anthony Rothschild's doubts.

But to say completely trust, it's still impossible.

"Don't underestimate Morgan; after all, they are the masters of Wall Street!"

Nate Rothschild also doesn't completely trust Donnie Block, but now they have to focus on Morgan first.

The financial industry in the United States is intricately linked, and Wall Street has a variety of forces, whose relationships are as complex as a spider's web. Even gathering the world's top financial experts to sort out Wall Street's relations is not so easy.

But one thing is certain.

If there is to be a master on Wall Street, it would be Morgan, not anyone else.

This is the power of Morgan.

"So you think this matter can't be kept secret anymore?"

Anthony Rothschild looked at Nate Rothschild and said.

Nate Rothschild nodded, "I think so, and I believe that Jack Morgan has already called Donnie Block by now. What we hope now is that they can't reach a consensus on this matter, and Donnie Block is still on our side!"

"It's a bad feeling when things are out of our control!"

Anthony Rothschild said helplessly.

Relying on others is never something that aligns with the Rothschild family's principles.

"There's no way around it. If we want to develop in the United States, we must have our own domain. Donnie Block controls New Jersey, Florida, Texas; Andrew Mellon controls the U.S. Treasury Department, Morgan controls Wall Street. We have no better choice; only California can stand against them, which is why we're willing to take the risk."

This matter involves the next U.S. presidential election, where the Rothschild family clearly felt how important it is for their development in the United States to control a state.

So they started to change the policies they made when they first came to the United States, analyzed the diversified states, and ultimately settled on California.

Only by controlling California do they have the capital to compete with Donnie.

Of course, they have not completely abandoned their previous plans, supporting Jewish merchants developing in various states, but now with an additional base.

Anthony Rothschild leaned back on the sofa, eyes slightly closed, and after a long contemplation, he said, "Things can't continue like this; we must take control of more decision-making powers."

"What do you mean?" Nate Rothschild inquired.

Anthony Rothschild said, "Arrange a meeting with Congressman Rodlin immediately!"

Congressman Rodlin, though not the Speaker or Deputy Speaker, holds significant influence in the U.S. Congress and is also a senior member of the Democratic Party, with a significant position in the U.S. political arena.

At the same time, he is a descendant of Jewish German immigrants.

A steadfast Jewish person!

"Since we can't decide other people's affairs, we must at least firmly grasp the matters we can control. Also, call Amadei Giannini and tell him that Jack Morgan called me, and be prepared, as Jack Morgan might launch an attack unknown to us at any time!"

Anthony Rothschild commanded Nate Rothschild.

"Alright!" Nate Rothschild first complied with Anthony Rothschild, then asked, "Should we inform Donnie Block about this?"

Anthony Rothschild replied, "Let's not tell him yet. I also want to see if Donnie Block will inform us about Jack Morgan's call to him."

Nate nodded, and just as he was about to call Congressman Rodlin, the phone on their desk rang again.

Nate Rothschild answered the phone and recognized the caller as Amadei Giannini.

Amadei Giannini's tone wasn't very friendly: "I want to know if Jack Morgan has just called you?"
