Chapter 567: Talented Children of the Federation

New York, Vampire Club Headquarters.

This was the only official place where the club still held regular activities. Only two or three cats and kittens were left to participate in the activities.

"Your Excellency, why don't we just disband?"

Morgan smiled and shook his head. "I have already invested in General Electric, and the next step is to set up Federal Steel. Even if we both switch to industry, don't we need to take care of each other in business?"

Several bankers curled their lips. "No matter how high the profits of industry are, it is still a hard-working business. I miss the past when we were in charge of the federation. Do we have to rely on hard labor to earn a little money in the future?"

"We should be content. It's good enough to make money. After the European war, even the British Empire, which had the most powerful capital, has become a Fenian country. I'm afraid our good days are gone forever. We should face the reality."

"wrong!"

There were voices of objection outside the door, and the door was pushed open with a bang. The sunlight shone in, and a group of dark creatures suddenly squinted their eyes, looking quite uncomfortable.

Who is so rude? Um, the one who came in was Morgan's ally and old friend Alfonso Rothschild.

"We still have enough financial resources to turn the tide. The current difficulties are only caused by that disabled Garfield. As long as that old guy——"

Morgan walked over and closed the door gently. "Alfonso, why have you become so irritable? How many times have we tried? The old guy never went out after he became disabled, so there was no chance to kill him. If it were me, you should learn from me and invest in some real estate..."

Alfonso was full of energy and said, "How can we abandon our strengths and compete with those stinky workers for food?"

"Do you know what Gustav is doing? After several years of hard work, we finally captured the key person who infiltrated the old guy."

The eyes of several dark creatures suddenly lit up, like the green eyes of a black cat in the dark night.

Morgan walked over to the statue of Lucifer, picked up a rag, and gently wiped off the dust.

"This time we must hide behind the scenes, not be too hasty like before, and get things done properly."

…………

On December 1890, 12, Garfield died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Warm Springs, Georgia.

Just one year and eight months into his third term, he died in office due to illness.

Garfield has been in poor health ever since he was assassinated and became paralyzed on one side of his body. He took a hot spring bath this time because he was too tired from a business trip to Cairo.

It may be that the hot springs were too hot, which damaged Garfield's already weak body. He lived for nine more years after the assassination, but he did not survive the call of death.

Otherwise, with his prestige, it is almost certain that he will take charge of the world for the fourth time.

The whole country of the federation mourned the passing of this real man, but because his physical condition was well known, everyone was actually mentally prepared.

Garfield's personal doctor also lost his job because of this. Perhaps because he was too sad, he accidentally fell into the water and died seven days later while on vacation in Miami Beach. No one paid attention to the affairs of such a small person.

Garfield's career was inherited by someone. His deputy Benjamin Harrison was sworn in and vowed to continue Garfield's way of governing. There seemed to be no change in the federation.

As soon as Harrison took office, he faced a thorny problem: two aircraft carrier formations of Daxia were heading towards Havana.

Should we intercept and confront Marshal Shao head-on?

"Mr. Harrison, although we have 17 aircraft carrier formations, the Daxia people have advanced missile and radar technology. We cannot win a naval battle."

Harrison was extremely depressed after hearing George Dewey's authoritative advice. Am I going to be branded as a humiliator as soon as I take office?

"Report, Professor Gibbs and Professor Michelson request to see you."

Harrison knew that Garfield had commissioned two professors to form a team to strengthen basic science and catch up with Daxia's long-term plan. The funds had been allocated to them. Was there any other problem?

Behind the two professors, there was a very young and handsome guy. Professor Gibbs was very excited when he saw Harrison. "Mr. Harrison, we were commissioned by Mongarfield to recruit elites from various universities and form a team. We have discovered a scientific genius."

"Before he met us, this young man was researching the advanced technology of Xiaoxiang Cliff on his own. He was already preparing to study for a master's degree at Hailing University and was just waiting for us to issue him a bachelor's degree certificate."

"We discovered this talent in time, so of course we have to keep him. Since we can provide better scientific research conditions, he is willing to serve the country."

Harrison folded his arms and looked at the young man. "What can you do for the Federation?"

The young man has special expertise in scientific research, but is a little socially anxious. When he first met the boss, he stuttered and didn't say a word for a long time.

Michelson next to him quickly made amends, "He is a senior at Oberlin College and has been employed by the college as a physics teacher since his sophomore year."

"When we found him, we discovered that he was the only one among our Federation's scientific geniuses who specialized in electromagnetism. He was currently studying how to replicate the missile and radar technology of the Daxia people, and he already had some remarkable ideas."

"If you, Mr. President, can provide good enough scientific research conditions, I believe that within two years we will be able to obtain the secrets of missiles and radars that are exclusive to Daxia, which will greatly enhance our military competitiveness."

Michelson blurted out what he wanted to say, and the young man only had time to add, "My name is Robert Andrew Millikan."

Suddenly he remembered something and took out a stack of densely written information from the backpack on his back. "This is the information I used to study missile technology and radar technology. If we want to build missiles, we need technicians who understand gyroscopes, chemistry, and mechanical processing to work with us."

The Federation has no shortage of engineering and technical personnel. The only thing it lacks is senior talents who understand electromagnetism.

Harrison was also a lawyer, and being a lawyer was a shortcut to federal politics, so he couldn't understand Millikan's technical information. But with the endorsement of the two professors, there was no problem.

God bless the Federation, there will always be key talents appearing at critical moments.

Harrison was delighted. "Young man, manpower, funds, and equipment are not a problem. Let's get started now."

"We are still controlled by others and have to retreat temporarily. But with you, I am full of confidence in the future of the Federation. Whether the Federation can turn things around and get rid of today's bad feelings depends entirely on your R&D team."

The Union, which had produced three outstanding leaders in recent years, Lincoln, Johnson, and Garfield, had sufficient reasons for its people to follow. Gibbs, Michelson, and Millikan all put their fists to their hearts and said, "We are willing to serve the Union."

Harrison secretly formed a scientific research team led by senior students, and went all out to begin catching up in radar and missile technology.

Harrison felt relieved at once as he had hope in his heart. Temporary lag and patience are nothing, we will see what happens.

While the Liangguang and its sister aircraft carrier fleet were visiting Havana, Harrison announced that he would stop the economic blockade of Havana and restore normal diplomatic relations with the country led by King Wing.

Moreover, in order to show sincerity, the Guantanamo base was simply sealed off.

As soon as Daxia's aircraft carrier arrived, the Federation gave in. King Yi laughed heartily and invited the visiting fleet commander Liao Yuzhu to have a drink.

While the banquet was in full swing, Brian came in person and invited King Yi to attend the Pan-American Conference as an equal.

On April 1891, 4, under the organization of Harrison and after the hard work of Bryan, the Pan American Conference was successfully held in a certain palace.

All the leaders of the Western Hemisphere attended the meeting. Harrison's attitude was very moderate and there was no imperialist style at all. It seemed that this was a meeting of sincere cooperation and mutual benefit.

At the dinner after the meeting, Harrison and Brian looked at each other in understanding, with sneers on their faces as they watched the proud King Wing clinking glasses with the King of England and toasting with leaders of other countries.

This is just a start, to get everyone in the habit of getting together. Later on, you will know who is the boss.

After Garfield's ten years of iron-fisted rule, the federation's industry became strong, the economy prospered, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, a large number of middle-class people emerged, and they were all full of hope for the future.

Garfield's deputies and assistants have taken over the federal baton well. The two men who have joined forces to rule the federal government are full of determination and endurance, and are making up for the federal government's shortcomings in basic science.

Both men were determined to keep the Union strong along the path Garfield had charted.

Those vampires that the people hate have not caused trouble for a long time, and they seem to have disappeared.
