Casare paused, his tone grew heavier, "Back then, Floyd's father, Old Ross, collaborated with a German chemical company to supply them with raw materials for explosives. Later, when the US Military discovered this, he was supposed to face the military court, but he shifted all the blame to his partner. He even proactively donated half of his sugar plantation to the military as a logistics base, which saved the family."
"But because of this incident, the Ross family became enemies with the Texas Oil Consortium. At that time, the Texas Oil Consortium wanted to take over Ross's sugar processing plant. Old Ross would rather die than comply and even reported the Oil Consortium for tax evasion. From then on, the two sides became sworn enemies."
The United States selling raw materials to Germany during WWII was a common occurrence...
If not for the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States might not have entered the war at all.
