Chapter 107 Pirates Hijacking a Ship

"That's true. Your grandfather once said that it's the environment that changes people. But he is good in everything. He has an open mind and a good character. His advantages are too numerous to mention, but there is one thing he doesn't do well. He understands the truth but is always easily swayed by emotions. I hope you don't make similar mistakes." Annabelle put on her glasses and looked like a wolf grandmother. She taught her, "Forget all the right and wrong, good and evil in your heart. If I'm not mistaken, you are now eyeing the western states because there are a large number of illegal immigrants there. This way you can save labor costs and avoid the rising workers' rights. Right?"

Before Sheffield could reply, Annabell continued, "Don't deny it, it is true! Although this has many benefits, it is likely to intensify conflicts. You should also know that the current trend of xenophobia in the United States is that it applies to all immigrants, but it is especially xenophobic to these Asians. If conflicts arise, what will you do?"

"If it's just a private matter, this matter won't be difficult to resolve. But what if the situation gets bigger?" Sheffield organized his words while thinking about this question in his brain.

"Then abandon them without hesitation!" Annabelle's eyes flashed a cold light behind her glasses. "Don't forget who you are. Usually we don't exclude any group because they all want to serve us. But once a multiple-choice question appears, don't be swayed by personal feelings. For us, it's no secret that the federal government has been thinking about Hawaii for a long time."

Sheffield breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the person he was talking about was Japanese. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I can judge the basic right and wrong and will not give them any chance to take advantage of me. I am even planning to buy a piece of land in Hawaii."

"You don't have to worry about buying land!" Annabelle smiled meaningfully, "There are many people who are better at it than you."

Annabell felt that the heir to the family was not experienced enough. When it came to the issue of land, which was the foundation of the business, she still trusted the department manager below her, unless the heir could come up with a suitable reason and was determined to buy the land.

"As for your personal relationship, I will never interfere, but you'd better think it over carefully. My family doesn't exclude commoners when it comes to women, but you must stand firm. Annie, a little girl, is not really suitable for marriage. If your family didn't need to marry someone else, you wouldn't be so relaxed."

Annabelle was chattering, and she was not at all the ruthless person as rumored. She analyzed the heir's feelings as a business matter, pursuing the maximization of her profits.

"There's no need to talk about Houston. Padra will tell you that the land over there belongs to his family and will be used as a factory for you! As for your cooperation with the Rockefeller family and Westinghouse Electric, I have no objection." Annabelle squinted her eyes and sighed after casually mentioning the layout of the factory, "I'm tired..."

"Grandma, have a good rest!" Sheffield bowed his head and said, then left the living room. There are so many giants in various industries in the United States, it is impossible not to cooperate with any of them and regard them all as enemies.

To use a political example to explain, some people in the Republic have long been thinking about Russian territory, and even want to get involved in Siberia, which has never had any relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty. Let's not talk about whether they can withstand massive nuclear bombs, after all, these people have never prepared to go to the battlefield themselves.

From the perspective of the United States, Sheffield is eager to start the fight as soon as possible. No matter who wins or loses, the United States can swallow the remaining one. Once these two countries are defeated, who on earth can shake the United States?

"Did anyone say anything to my grandmother today? I seemed to be just browsing here, but didn't go in!" Sheffield suddenly stopped and glanced at the surroundings, as if there was an undercover agent planted around him.

Time was running out in 1895, and the northern states had already begun to experience the power of the Arctic. Of course, in the warm southern states, the Dixies were busy with their own affairs as usual. They didn't care what was happening in the Yankee territory, whether there were any deaths, wouldn't it be better if they died?

Citizens' needs will not disappear because of the weather. The problem of the five internal organs has always been a top priority for mankind. The desire for food is a basic need. Even if the price of pork rises to 30 yuan per catty, people still have to eat it.

Eating tropical fruits in the cold winter is also what the middle class in the United States needs, as they believe they have escaped from vulgar tastes. Where there is demand, there is naturally competition.

On the vast high seas, with heavy rain and huge waves, a 10,000-ton cargo ship floats like a sea of ​​bright lights, loaded with fruits shipped back from Central American countries such as Nicaragua and Honduras. When the northern states of the United States have already felt the power of winter, wouldn't it be great to take advantage of the price increase and make a profit?

It was like seeing the dawn of wealth. In the cabin, the crew members were sitting on high chairs and chatting. The weather was bad tonight, but for a 10,000-ton cargo ship, this sea condition was nothing. Besides, the cargo on the ship could not be delayed. If they had to look for a port to dock because of rain and wind, the loss would be too great.

Besides, where is this place? The warm Gulf of Mexico. Do the Mexicans dare to do anything to their frightened American citizens? If the Mexicans had this ability, they would not have ceded land to seek peace.

These people came from all over the country and told interesting stories about their hometowns. Of course, there were basic weapons on the freighter to deter pirates who were almost impossible to appear, but they were almost impossible to appear.

It was pitch black outside the porthole, but it did not stop the crew from bragging and chatting as they spent the boring days at sea. The danger was gradually approaching, and black shadows like geckos were climbing up quickly. After all, their racial skills had their own protective colors. Most of the pirates who boarded the ship boarded the freighter openly under the command of a few figures who did not look so black.

"If they dare to resist, I will send them to take a bath. Go and pick a few people to follow me to find the captain. Everyone has internal conflicts, it's not that we can't talk." The leading white man took off his hat, revealing his handsome face. If he didn't have the scar on his face, he could have used a bad stomach as an excuse to work in a job that could allow him to live off women.

The crew members who had gathered together were found effortlessly. They looked at a group of black people pointing guns at them in astonishment, "You bunch of niggers..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bang..., the crew member who didn't understand the situation was shot down, blood flowed out and gathered into a pool. The black man who fired the gun spat, and a series of curses with rap style came out of his mouth, including "fuck" and "bitch".

"The weather is so bad. My purpose is actually very simple. You can stay here to avoid the wind and rain. I think half a month is enough!" The pirate leader standing in front of the ship calmly looked at the captain who raised his hands and suggested, "Cooperate honestly and you will be safe."
