My America

The current public opinion is a good time to release a mess of news, so when there was inside information that the United Company wanted to sell the Panama Canal project, it was reported that it did not attract much attention.

After all, compared with the local reports in Panama, whether the sale of the project is true or not has no eye-catching point. So even if someone saw a similar report, they didn't go to it.

This report did not attract the attention of the public because the public itself did not care about this matter, but it did attract the attention of Washington, especially President Roosevelt. If it is limited to the news of the sale, this matter is not worthy of attention. After all, it is normal business behavior and the White House is not easy to interfere.

But the first target of Sheffield's contact was not a domestic company, but the Thyssen United Company of the German Empire. When the news of Sheffield meeting with German guests at Rockefeller Estate, the nature of the matter changed. .

Since the implementation of world policy by William II, German capital has been very enthusiastic about going to sea, and investment in all parts of the world is increasing. This naturally includes the American continent. Other things will not be mentioned, but if the Panama Canal project falls into the German Empire In the hands of the United States, dealing with the French is not as easy as dealing with the French.

"William, wouldn't you be serious?" Even after Rockefeller Jr. knew this, he was worried about it. "Now the United Company has been paid attention to by the public. If you sell everything on the canal to Germans, what do citizens think? "

"Look on the side and see what citizens, who admit they are citizens, in my eyes they are like blacks, just slaves with different skin colors." Sheffield snorted, "the so-called citizens, their opinions have never been It does n’t matter, no one cares, no one cares, what they sell to the German canal, their opinion is equal to no opinion, it is not these so-called citizens who speak and say nothing, but our federal government, the federal The government ’s opinion is worth considering, and I am very clear about this. ”

"Then do you still do this?" Rockefeller Jr. didn't understand this, why should he not deal with the federal government? Now everyone knows that the Germans are becoming more and more influential in the world, and the federal government is also vigilant, sure Will find ways to make this unsuccessful.

"If the federal government is not willing to hand over the rights of the Panama Canal to the Germans, as a patriotic rich man, I will naturally sell the canal to the country, but it depends on the price." Sheffield opened her arms carelessly, "Thanks for the great In the United States, I really dare not do this in exchange for other countries. "

Is it at least replaced by the East? No matter which generation and generation, Sheffield should be the end of the genocide. There is no exception at all. The strategic project of great significance to the country is actually ready to be sold to another powerful country. The end is completely predictable. of.

But is the beacon of capitalism, who can't do that? This is a normal business move, and since ownership is in the hands of the United Company, Sheffield can dispose of the Panama Canal on its own.

The sale of the Panama Canal did not cause any public shock, but it was a shock to Washington.

Before the staff sent by Roosevelt arrived in New York, the most time-consuming game in Sheffield was to read the newspaper and appreciate how stupid the citizen class can be. He has appreciated a lot in his life, for example, Western medicines are poisons, and Chinese medicines are all elixir. The doctors in the hospital are unscrupulous quacks who only get red envelopes. The old Chinese doctors on the small advertisements on the wall are all rebirths.

The official subjects are all fools who can only die and do not understand innovation. The scientific research they engage in is all rubbish, which is completely incomparable to the civilian subjects. Do you see what gravitational wave was proposed by anyone? The Egyptian pyramids were forged by the British. A civilization without a historical record is definitely not there, even though it was not in the Xia Dynasty.

In this life I changed to see the American version. The slave owners were very happy. Rockefeller Jr. thought Sheffield was a person with good habits, but he grinned uncontrollably. "You watch this?"

"If there are too many smart people in this world, would n’t I show that I am smart, but thankfully God is fair, and there are more idiots!" Sheffield waved his hands and sighed where this is, where the slave owner led Anne. Visit the prostitute prostitutes in Paris, lead Natalia to the homeless homes of New York, and take your sister to the Brazilian kilns. Every time you get a full sense of happiness.

Not all happiness comes from comparison. As a mature slave owner, Sheffield is at least honest enough. He likes to find places where others are inferior to himself to enhance his happiness. And the richest man in India who built a mansion in Asia's largest slum kiln is a kind of person.

"Roosevelt's staff has come to New York, and I have just received the news!" Little Rockefeller also knew that Sheffield's character should not be overestimated, and turned to the right thing, "It is estimated that I came to talk to you about the sale of the canal. , Let me leave you for the time being and ask if it can be sold to other big companies, not to Germans. "

"To whom? Morgan, except you, seems to be the only one who can eat Morgan. Do you think I will sell him?" Sheffield put on a mocking face, yin and yang strange airway, "I would rather sell to the Germans at lower prices than to sell them. Give him nothing to sell. "

The best candidate in the mind of the slave owner is, of course, the federal government. In the past, there has always been such a paragraph in the folk to describe a person's ability. What is a capable person? Only those who can take advantage of the country are capable people. If you take advantage of the country, you will lose money. That is the real ability.

This understanding is based on the summary of some chaos in the Republic when it first opened. However, Sheffield believes that there is nothing wrong with this summary from the perspective of the businessman. It is the fact that it really happened, don't you want to say it?

Now Sheffield feels that he should cash out from the Panama Canal. Naturally, he first wants the country to take over. After all, the Panama Canal has only commercial interests in private hands, and political interests have little meaning for private companies such as joint companies.

But even if she wants the country to take over, Sheffield ca n’t take the initiative. The slave owner ’s mind is to add money, and the initiative will only bring about the consequences of being bargained.

But this is not impossible. Is there Germany? Germany has rich coal and iron resources. This is the guarantee of German industrial development. Germany ’s rich coal and iron resources can fully support Germany ’s long-term continuous operations. The only weakness in Germany is oil production, but the industry's dependence on oil is relatively low. The oil shortage in Germany is not serious. The oil from the Austro-Hungarian Empire is sufficient for Germany to use.

German industry is the second in the world, and the United States is the world ’s first. However, although the industrial output value of the United States exceeds Germany, the United States ’industry is actually under the control of European capital, and the real share of the United States’ actual calculation is actually It ’s not as good as Germany. The German industry is owned by others. The United States owes billions of foreign debts.

The industrial scale of Germany is all calculated by the Germans themselves, and much of the industry in the United States is dominated by European capital. This is why the Germans started out almost at the same time and the Germans looked more compelling than the United States. Germany's industrial level and technological innovation ability are higher than those of the United States, ranking first in the world.

So if you want to find an object of hatred, there will be no more suitable choice in this world than Germany. Germany also has the ability to eat the Panama Canal, which is why Sheffield released the news of selling the canal to Germany.

As for the external environment, the Germans also had this willingness to be interested in the Panama Canal, so after meeting with German companies, it caused tension in Washington.

The senior staff sent by Roosevelt came to Rockefeller Estate almost anxiously, eager to know whether Sheffield wanted to sell the Panama Canal seriously.

"Mr. William, you should know the importance of the Panama Canal to the national interest!" Rosen reminded very seriously, "This is not just a matter for the United Company. I understand that the collapse of the Panama Dam caused the United Company It ’s a huge problem, but many people, including the federal government, are looking for solutions to help your business. It ’s very irrational to sell the Panama Canal at this time. ”

"I personally think that the judgment I am making is very reasonable now!" Sheffield let the other party say that the smallpox is not going to change, and it will not change the original intention in the heart. Can only the evil Soviet be able to say this is a beacon of capitalism, not talking about money and interests? Will the joint company sacrifice for the country in vain?

"The fact is that about 50,000 workers have been drowned. If you want to give an explanation to these workers. You have to pay compensation. I do n’t think the Panamanian government has money to pay? Is n’t the joint company getting it? You know how much it is "Money, dear Mr. Rosen!" Sheffield glanced at the staff, and said, "It is only the Germans who have the willingness and funds to take over. I have made this decision very much. I do n’t think there is anything wrong with it. "

Slaughter owners despised Rosen ’s talk of national interests but did not talk about funding. If they were not qualified to talk about money, everyone was very busy. Could you please go back and ask Roosevelt? What are you doing here now? What about the American dream?
