When they were almost done, Wesley said again, "We all know the concept of consumption. We can only make money by spending, and people need to have the ability to spend, and of course the time to spend."
"Times are changing, and we have to change. The war in Europe gives us an opportunity, but it is also the most dangerous time for us. I think after the war, many people will try their best to produce things and sell them. Who will they sell them to? Are the participating countries able to pay? What if they defeat them? Can they get back the money they owe us? Have you thought about these problems?"
"What happens after the war? Without orders, you fire the workers? Then they lose their ability to spend? Money is suffocated again. How many of you here will go bankrupt? So you won't make money at all. You will only stare at what's in front of you."
A senator suddenly said, "After all that, you just want to expand the army."
"Isn't it right to expand the army? Look at the Philippines. They have been increasing the number of troops and it took a few increases to stabilize the situation. Why? Isn't it because the army can't do it? Don't say that we defeated Spain, they have been defeated many times. There is nothing to show off. If you have the ability to fight with the British, you must see that we have driven them away before. Now you are still afraid of them. Why? They are the empire of the Never Setting Sun, and you don't have any such thoughts. Britain is making money from the world, and you can only stare at your pockets."
No one said anything down below. Glorious isolationism. Wesley didn't understand their thoughts at all. A symbol of mental illness?
"Well, that's all I'm going to say. You can decide for yourselves. I don't care about this. If the United States doesn't buy it, I'll sell it. There are many people who want to buy my arms. Why? Because it's good. The reason is that simple. Is there anything in my G Group that can't be sold? Haha…"
Wesley picked up his military cap and turned directly toward the exit. As he walked out the door, a roar echoed in the hall. "Expand the army."
Now a lot of people were shouting along. There were a lot of industries driven by the military, especially the American military. When Wesley looked at Brother Company, the soldiers of Company E packed their things before boarding the plane. There was so much stuff that it was a headache.
What were these? Did they really need them? Whether they did or not, money bought them, and as the army expanded and shouted, Wesley knew that it was done, and that it was time for him to be promoted.
From the beginning, he belittled these senators and then threw out the idea of making money. Of course, expanding the army is not so simple. There are a lot of things to prepare and there are also eight hours of work problems. These are not things that can be completed in a short time.
First of all, the military needs to carry out a demonstration, then build an experimental unit and carry out training and exercises. All kinds of troops need to be experimented on, especially the setting up of brigade-level units. There are many interests involved in this, most of them are military, but expanding the army means promotion, but new tactics also need to be studied and promoted. Both American wars were temporary conscription, and then thrown out to fight after training.
The U.S. military had nothing but firepower at this time. It was a complete victory that came from spending money. If Germany and the United States had been replaced, the world would have changed completely.
Wesley did not go straight back to the military school. Instead, he went home first and inspected the group, then gave guidance and dumped it on John Lister before returning to the military school.
His promotion order also arrived at this time. He was a major in the Marine Corps, but he was not affiliated with the Navy. He traveled alone to an experimental camp. The camp was in a National Guard camp by the sea in New York State. The personnel were chosen by themselves.
Wesley went straight to the principal. "Mr. Principal, I'm leaving to form my ideal unit."
"Young man, you are really amazing. Our American army is about to rise. I hope you can succeed." Clarence said to Wesley with a smile on his face. For this student, although the school did not teach him, it was West Point after all.
"Don't worry, I will succeed." Wesley saluted and left. He packed up his things and went directly to the military camp. The first appropriation of Congress has been confirmed. Wesley received five million dollars for the initial funding for the Army's restructuring, including the purchase of equipment. Wesley then threw a million dollars to his arsenal, and a battalion of equipment began production directly.
And he himself began the long journey of selecting personnel from the existing U.S. forces on track. It was meticulous work, and Wesley was patient. He was prepared to patrol the Marine Corps in the manner of later generations, and then he would ask for a name alone.
On this day, he came to a unit to pick again. Two arrogant soldiers were being stared at. He was really familiar with these two people, or he used to be. Wesley finally knew where he was. One of them was called Logan and the other was called Victor.
These two names might be ordinary, but their other two names were famous. Wolverine and Saber-Toothed Tiger. The brothers were actually in the army. Wesley watched them as they discussed Wolverine's plot. They had indeed participated in many wars and were hesitant to die. They were at home in the war, and the punishment for them was something like being shot for ten minutes.
Wesley smiled. The Mutants were Marvel's too, but they sold the copyright in the early days, which prevented the Mutants and Avengers from meeting each other, and he actually met them in a parallel universe.
"Apple, let's call this place Amazing Universe from now on!"
"Why do you call it that?" Apple was very strange.
"It's easy to distinguish. I remember when I was watching X-Men and Spiderman in the early days, they translated Marvel Comics. I got it wrong at the time. I thought it was two comic companies and a D.C. Comics. I always thought D.C. was Marvel. Now they are divided into two universes, so it's good. Our original universe is set as the origin universe."
"Understood. Now we know about the three parallel universes. Unfortunately, we don't know exactly how to locate the three universes. We are still blind when we cross."
"It's better to develop technology now. We can't do it alone. Even if we know the specific spatial coordinates, it's useless. Anyway, I'm not afraid of transmigrating to a strange universe."
Wesley was talking to Apple here, but Logan and Victor were having none of it. They were being stared at and they weren't saying anything. "Hey, pretty boy, why are you looking at us like that?" the grumpy saber-toothed tiger roared.
Wesley looked at him. This guy had been violent in the past. "Oh? Is there a problem? And is that how you talk to your commanding officer?"
