The Prussian War, which Yi Zhizu, focused on, was like a cup of cold and refreshing, and the Prussian army, which had been trained in a new style and equipped with a new type of rifled rifled gun, was unstoppable all the way, and easily captured the Jutland Peninsula without encountering decent resistance. Major powers such as Britain, France and Russia remained silent on this.

On the contrary, the Civil War was full of exciting battles. The Northern Army, which took the initiative in the battlefield, launched a large-scale battle with the Southern Army in Wilderness, Virginia, and two major wars broke out in succession - the Battle of Mangyuan and the Battle of Cordhuber. The Northern Army invested 120,000 troops, but the Southern Army had only more than 60,000 troops. The two sides fought fiercely for more than a month, and the Northern Army suffered more than 50,000 casualties, but the Southern Army only had 30,000 casualties.

As the news spread, public opinion was in an uproar, and Eastern and Western politicians once again focused on the United States. At the same time, the gold price in New York rose rapidly and hit a new high!

"How is the price of cotton?" Yi Zhizu put down the telegram from New York and asked directly at a glance that Xiu Yuan didn't care much about gold speculation. For Yuanqi, it was just a question of how much money it earned, but if the amount of cotton was too large and the price fluctuated violently, it was not a big deal for Yuanqi.

"The European cotton price is basically unaffected." Xie Xiuyuan said slowly: "Although the land war failed, the maritime blockade of the north in the south became increasingly tight as the navy grew. According to statistics, nearly half of the smuggling ships in the south will be intercepted. Therefore, the European cotton price has been in a steadily rising state unless it can severely damage the northern navy."

After hearing this, Zhao Liewen interrupted: "How big is the northern navy today?"

"Seven hundred warships of all kinds, and the navy has more than 60,000." Jie Xiuyuan said slowly: "Unless Britain and France dispatched their main fleet, it would be impossible to deal with the south alone." As he said, he looked at Yi Zhizu, "The big shopkeeper, now that the gold price in New York continues to be high, will it be all gone?"

After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizu said: "Don't hurry, wait and see first."

Let’s wait and see for a while? Jie Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment. This means that the situation in the north may continue to deteriorate. Yuan Qi had already cleared the gold at hand below 200 US dollars. As the north gradually won, the gold price fell, and under the instruction of Yi Shizu, it was proved that Yi Shizu's decision was extremely correct. Now the gold price has reached a new high. Will it be too risky to continue holding it?

"The big shopkeeper, the gold price in New York has risen fiercely, setting a new high of 230 US dollars. The average price we earned is 145. If we can take all of it, we will have at least 10 million US dollars in net profit." Jie Xiuyuan tactfully reminded that he hoped to make a profit for peace and there was no need to continue taking risks.

Yi Zhizu naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, but he waved his hand without hesitation, "It's okay, keep watching."

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Jie Xiuyuan was hesitating whether to persuade him again, but Zhao Liewen had already spoken: "The big shopkeeper is judging that the situation of the war will continue to deteriorate?"

"It is hard to say whether the situation of the war will continue to deteriorate." Yi Zhizu said carefully: "Using the current situation, the South can still fight the war to this point. It can be seen that the previous judgment is good. The South does have great hope for the election at the end of the year. If the South can win one or two games on the battlefield in the past few months, there may be hope at the end of the year.
