Chapter 174 The Election Campaign is in Full Swing

"Don't look at it. All women have to go through this once." Compared to Evelyn, whose delicate body was still hiding under the quilt with a complicated expression on her face, Sheffield's comfort could be described as ruthless and he did not show even the slightest guilt.

He reached out to grab Evelin's arm, but the girl dodged in fear. Sheffield had to sit down and let his conscience return for a few minutes, and said softly, "Does it still hurt? I was wrong. Do you hate me?"

“I don’t know!” Evelin curled up and shook her head aggrievedly, “You are my boss, this shouldn’t be the case.”

Sheffield secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he didn't hate her. Thinking carefully, it didn't seem like he was forcing himself, right? It seemed like...

For a moment, Sheffield imagined himself kneeling on the ground, crying, slapping himself in the face, cursing himself for being an inhuman, begging for forgiveness, and then blaming the problem on the alcohol.

That's a good idea. The only problem is that I didn't drink last night! It's impossible to apologize, but Sheffield thought of another way and scared Evelyn, "No matter what, I will be the father of the child after I have the child."

"Really?" Evelyn asked anxiously. This performance made Sheffield feel relieved. It's okay! Or it can be said that the situation is under control. It seems that this new car still maintains its original simplicity.

"Of course it's true. We are all like this now." Sheffield swore and was willing to guarantee the lives of 30,000 illegal immigrants. If he couldn't do it, all these illegal immigrants would sink into the Atlantic Ocean and die a miserable death.

It took a long time for Evelin to get over her worries, and Sheffield got on the car safely. This kind of thing always happens the first time, then the second time, and even countless times.

They walked out of the room with Evelin, who was struggling with her feelings. The bodyguards were much friendlier when facing Evelin. This change was very obvious, and the girl didn't dare to look up, for fear that someone would notice something. When they walked, they were very serious and tried not to show any abnormality. This was the biggest abnormality.

After attending the opening ceremony, Sheffield had no intention of watching the Games again. He just used the Games to shape his patriotic image. It was not until Coubertin came to visit that he mentioned this incident, "It seems that the American flag was not raised that day."

"Citizens are participating in the competition in the name of others. I'm just a sponsor. Naturally, people can hang whatever they like." When Sheffield heard this was the question, he immediately said that this was the internal affairs of the United States. He himself, a citizen, didn't pay attention to it. Why would you, a Frenchman, worry about it? You have time to think about how to face the Germans without losing miserably. Do you still have time to care about what's happening on the other side of the Atlantic?

Did the federal government pay a dollar? No! Since it didn't, it has nothing to do with the federal government. It is the freedom of the athletes to choose what flag to use. They like the Southern Cross flag, and no one can do anything about it.

"I'm also worried that you, William, will be in trouble." Seeing Sheffield's nonchalant look, Coubertin was relieved. Maybe the Americans didn't care about this. Would a government not care if someone wanted to split? Coubertin pondered this question for a long time, but still had no answer.

On this issue, the United States has its own national conditions, and Coubertin, a foreigner, naturally cannot understand it. So if you don't understand, don't give suggestions as if you are doing it for your own good.

How do you know that others are willing to accept your suggestions? If it were possible, Sheffield would have actively indoctrinated the Chinese workers to learn the system of our human hope, the beacon of capitalism, the separation of powers, and the use of money to control power. As the wealth of the super-rich accumulates, sooner or later they will successfully build a ceiling that ordinary people can never climb up, just like South Korea, where ten conglomerates control 80% of the economy, and they can kill your whole family and make a movie to earn box office revenue. Isn't that great?

Although his stance in this life is that of the United States, there is no need to drag his previous life's motherland into a pit. He is not a banana person, so he does not need to be a fanatical convert. It is fine to just let nature take its course.

After seeing Coubertin off, Sheffield snorted and deeply felt the shamelessness of the citizens of imperialist countries. They had to pretend to be instructive. He didn't expect that in this life, in the United States, he could still feel the arrogance in the hearts of the powerful countries just like in the Republic.

After this meeting, Sheffield and his group disappeared from Athens. He fulfilled his promise to Evelyn and went to Istanbul with his secretary to experience the exotic customs. Some issues must be discussed several times, for example, he was on guard against Ottoman officials who sent criminals in prison to smuggling boats.

If there are not enough prisons, you can kill people. This is the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire. Sheffield will not interfere. However, you cannot treat the United States as a trash can and put anyone in it. I can be Batman, but I don't want my hometown to really become Gotham.

A month after arriving in Istanbul, after John Connor and his bodyguards reunited, Sheffield, in the name of Sheffield United Company and its subsidiary Black Gold Transport Company, signed a contract with Ayobayan, who represented the Grand Vizier, on the purchase of land in Kuwait County, Basra Province, Ottoman Empire, for the purpose of establishing a transit station and developing ports to help the Ottoman Empire achieve economic development. The purchase price was US$20 per square kilometer.

Before the ink was dry, Sheffield put the contract in his arms very carefully. This was the biggest gain of this trip to Europe. This made Ayobayan very surprised. There was nothing but yellow sand and saline-alkali land there. It was indeed very important as a transit station, but was it really that important?

"Persian carpets, Iraqi antiques, and Arab handicrafts are all there. What a wonderful place it is." Sheffield sighed half-seriously, "As a pasha, I finally have a piece of land that belongs to me."

"Congratulations, William Pasha. The local Arabs will be your subjects from now on." Seeing this situation, Ayobayan also congratulated half-seriously.

For the Ottoman Empire, it was also a hot potato, because the British had a military base there for decades. Although the core area of ​​the Ottoman Empire was very close to Europe, it still belonged to the East and did not have a clear understanding of territorial border issues.

It is common for Asian countries to fight with each other, and border changes are common. European countries were the first to pay attention to borders. The Ottoman Empire had some understanding of border issues, but countries further east were even more vague about border issues.

Sheffield bought all the land around the British military base for nearly $300,000. Together with the land in the hands of the British, it was roughly the size of Kuwait in later generations. Now he was more worthy of the title of Pasha.

However, Sheffield did not get carried away, nor did he have the idea of ​​going back to his own land. Not only would he fail to show off if he went there, but he would also disappoint the secretary who had just opened her heart. There was really nothing there except yellow sand and saline-alkali land.

There are less than 10,000 residents in Kuwait, and the Ottoman Empire did not conduct a special census there. According to Arabic language habits, Sheffield can call himself Emir.

"Remember this. If any oil exploration team appears on my private land, no one is allowed to conduct exploration without asking any reason. Build a radio station next to the British military base. Report any movement to me immediately." Sheffield said sinisterly to John Connor and Jesla, "This will be the third permanent overseas base of the Black Gold Transport Company after Liberia and Haiti. This is also your home, so you must take good care of it."

"Don't worry, boss. I'll arrange for someone to go. Anyway, we spend most of our time sailing on the sea." John Connor, who had just returned from Spain, said. He already knew that his boss had taken on another smuggling business. This year, Black Gold Company had another job to do.

John Connor went to Spain to find out the truth according to Sheffield's instructions. As expected, he said that Spain is not comparable to the United States. The whole country still maintains a proud face, but it is already faltering. The reason why it is still acceptable is that it is a creditor of many Spanish-speaking countries in America.

This is not surprising at all. European countries are currently creditors of many American countries. Even the United States itself owes European countries nearly 3 billion US dollars. The strongest country in America is in this position now, let alone other American countries.

It was not until November that Sheffield, who had been wandering around Europe, set off with a larger team to return. After all, Kuwait also needed some construction to lay the foundation, which delayed it for a while. The reason why it became larger was because Sheffield said no, but Ayobayan insisted on sending a few beauties over. It would be bad not to accept them, so he had to accept them reluctantly.

"It's not that I have to accept it. If I don't, you're already pregnant. It will be bad for your reputation." Sheffield said confidently, comforting Evelyn, "I have no problem. I'm a man, but you're different. I'm thinking about you. As for these Arab women, who knows them? People can't understand rumors."

"Thank you!" Evelin sighed. What else could she do if she didn't want to? It was already a done deal.

When he returned to the United States, the election campaign between the Democratic and Republican parties was in full swing. Sheffield saw overwhelming reports in the newspapers criticizing William Bryan. Some people believed that if the economy fell into recession, this candidate who had no economic knowledge would be the culprit and would bring the United States into hell. Sheffield bought several newspapers in a row, but he didn't see anyone saying anything good about William Bryan. The capitalists were truly united as never before.

Faced with unprecedented high pressure and unity, William Bryan certainly would not sit idly by. From the time he won the Democratic nomination to the present, William Bryan has almost been traveling and giving speeches. He has passed through 27 states and traveled nearly 20,000 miles, attracting a large number of enthusiastic followers and competing against Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont, and Carnegie.

"Beautiful!" Sheffield commented nonchalantly, as if wondering whether he should wave a flag and cheer.
