In the middle of the storm spiral, Tom was still so calm.
Tom leaned on his office chair, holding his "golden fake cigarette" in his mouth, sucking in the filtered air vigorously.
Tom began to analyze the war situation.
There is no doubt that the regime of the United Mexican States has no power to resist frontally, and guerrilla warfare has been blocked by Tom's "road-building tactics".
Now you can choose to reduce investment in arsenals, slow down or even suspend John's front army's offensive.
As long as the capital investment in military supplies is reduced by half, Hero Company can recover monthly profits of tens of millions of dollars in an instant.
After Maximiliano I, the emperor of the Second Mexican Empire and Tom's lord, was executed, the United States of America stopped its "free support" to the United States of Mexico.
The Yankees in Washington believe that Tom is just adding a new state to the United States.
On the surface, it is the best option to postpone the attack and wait for the capital chain to turn over, but Tom is worried that something will change later. What if a third party joins the United Mexican States?
Especially if a European monarch of sufficient importance appears, like Napoleon III who mediated the war in the Austro-Prussian War some time ago, should I accept it?
A suitable outlet to the sea has not yet been secured in the north. Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to stop negotiating peace now?
Does Tom really need to take over all of Mexico? Take over the worthless rainforest?
Northern Mexico is okay, the central and southern parts are almost all tropical rainforests, and more importantly, the rainy season is coming soon. Is it really a good idea to drag it out?
Tom touched the gold fake cigarette in his hand and looked at the phrases engraved on it, with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Are you going to use that?"
"In my last life, I used it rashly and almost made me bankrupt."
"You are so well prepared in this life, it should be fine, right?"
——————
Mexico's frontline battlefield - the outskirts of Chihuahua.
"Little A, are you eating canned food again?"
"Yeah. Brother B."
"Can't you learn how to do this? Just eat canned beef and some fruits and vegetables every day. The captain said you should have a balanced nutrition!"
"Brother B, don't pay attention to him. He became a "security guard" not long before the war started. He has never eaten much meat before. Among our brothers, who didn't only eat beef every day at first? When he got tired of it, he wanted to eat other things.
Something."
"Hehe~"
Now the "security guards" on the front line of the Mexican battlefield have no idea that the "hero company" they work for has experienced a shortage of funds.
On today's frontline battlefields, whether it is food, arms or other strategic materials, they are still in unlimited supply as they were when the war first started.
"Don't be silly, this is your salary for this month, take it."
"Brother B, what kind of money is this? It's the first time I've seen you."
"That's right, Brother B, this is the first time I saw a hundred-dollar bill. I heard someone said that the state bank's hundred-dollar bill doesn't have Washington's big head printed on it? Why did it become a landscape?"
"It can't be counterfeit money, right?"
"What are you talking about? The squadron leader can still give us counterfeit money? Go eat your canned beef, those cans are worth more than this money!"
"Yes, yes, this should be new banknotes."
"What should be, must be."
This scene appeared in every "security" team on the Mexican battlefield. Everyone received a new type of banknote as military pay, and the road construction workers were no exception. They all received a new type of U.S. dollar.
The daily salary of the "security guards" participating in the war was increased from three dollars a day to five dollars a day. Even the income of workers involved in road construction in the war zone increased by more than 20 percent.
So far, even workers who participated in the strike have received their wages on time and have never been in arrears.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the logistics food. The road construction workers eat better than they did in the original factory canteen.
During the Civil War, there were only one or two thousand artillery pieces, but Hero Company's 150,000 security brigade had 5,000 artillery pieces, and they bombed Mexico indiscriminately.
It can be said that almost all the territory controlled by the Hero Company in northern Mexico has been washed away by artillery.
Either it was burned, or it was blown up by TNT, or even worst case, it was baptized by a bomb.
Some veterans and mounted policemen who participated in the Civil War knew that the backward weapons of the Civil War were nothing more than a toy in front of the Smith 1866 field gun.
They often lamented in front of the new "security guards" that if there had been a hero company in the Civil War, the winner would have been the Confederacy and Texas.
Of course, everyone has some doubts and objections about this brand-new new banknote, but recalling the "generousness" and "preferential treatment" that Hero Company has given to themselves in the past few months, especially the self-confidence brought by the winning streak.
Everyone silently chose to believe in the new banknotes issued by hero company.
Not only the front lines of the Mexican battlefield, but workers at the Hero Company factory in Texas also began to issue this new banknote.
The new banknotes issued by the newly established hero bank were circulated within the hero company.
The new bank had two names. One was the common name known to the public as Texas State Hero Bank.
One is the legally registered name - the Federal Reserve Bank of Houston. (federal reserve bank of houston)
The new U.S. dollars issued have nothing to do with gold. Tom will try to use the name of Hero Company to issue banknotes.
The guarantee is the credibility of hero company, regardless of whether the new dollar banknote issued by this new bank is recognized by the outside world or not.
As long as you hold this banknote, you can purchase goods from hero company.
As long as you hold this banknote, you can exchange it for US dollars issued by other reputable banks at Hero Bank at a 1:1 ratio.
Hero currently has 250,000 "bodyguards" under its name and nearly 10 million employees of all kinds. The daily salary is about 8 million U.S. dollars, which is 240 million U.S. dollars a month.
And Tom, who issued 1.5 billion U.S. dollars at once, wants to speed up the end of this war before Hero Company's credibility is completely overdrawn!
Today's Tom is no longer the stupid young man in his previous life who didn't understand the disaster that excessive currency issuance would bring.
Tom knew what kind of disaster over-issued currency would bring, but Tom didn't mind.
Tom only knew that he was going to win this war, and he was going to win it completely.
More importantly, Hero Company does not engage in joint stock ownership.
Never sell equity for cash.
The act of printing money is like drinking poison to quench thirst. The senior executives of major financial groups can see it at a glance.
Printing money is the last resort of Hero Company, and it can be said to be a signal that Hero Company is on the verge of collapse.
Except for the local Texans and other low-level “rednecks” in Dixie who firmly believe in the hero company’s “hero myth”, almost no one anywhere accepted the newly issued U.S. dollars issued by the hero company at the beginning of the period.
Let’s not talk about the Yankees. They definitely don’t recognize the U.S. dollars issued by Dixie Bank. Even the senior officials in Dixie don’t trust this new U.S. dollar.
