Chapter 406 The Federation says, start over!

"The development of the automotive industry is not just the business of United Automotive, but also requires the efforts of other automakers. United Automotive has always welcomed competition, because strong opponents can reflect the strength of our company."

As dawn fell, Sheffield and Alice Roosevelt were enjoying breakfast. Out of habit, Sheffield looked at the newspaper absent-mindedly and saw Ramon Hess talking nonsense to the newspaper, telling lies that no one believed.

"I don't want to stay here!" Alice Roosevelt suddenly said, "This city is too familiar, and many people are also familiar with me. Now I dare not go out."

While enjoying her intimate relationship with the slave owner, Alice Roosevelt was still thinking about having fun and said, "If the Russo-Japanese War had not been over, I would have traveled to Asia."

"There's no need to be so anxious about this matter. When you go there, I'll send someone to protect you. They're all women, so it won't be inconvenient." Sheffield added that slave owners now have too little time to run around. If they were traveling abroad and their father-in-law suddenly came and raided the United Company using the Trust Act, who would be held responsible?

He didn't believe that Roosevelt would operate for a long time and then end it hastily like an ostrich. This was not in line with Roosevelt's character.

But it's not impossible to travel around the country, Sheffield suggested, "How about I take you to New Mexico, where there are few people. No one will know you, but you have to cover up on the road so that no one recognizes you."

Sheffield may not care about the issue of reputation, but he must consider Alice Roosevelt. Her father is the president. There are party issues, big business and federal government issues between the slave owners and Roosevelt, not to mention his success in seducing slaves. With the existence of the first two factors, it would not be a good thing if Roosevelt knew about it.

The first stop was still Chicago. He found an excuse that he had to deal with some things at the Farmers and Stockmen's Association, freeing up two days to let the bodyguards take Alice Roosevelt around. Sheffield went directly to discuss the issue of the president of the Red Cross with Edith Rockefeller, and at the same time carried the heavy load forward.

"Are you tired from always traveling?" Edith Rockefeller asked with some consideration. She felt as good as ever, but she could feel that Sheffield was very tired.

"I just got off the bus!" Sheffield didn't feel anything wrong with his body, but he felt a little weak. It is known that the slave owner only has one stick to stir so much water. The problem is that the water is in different cities. Door-to-door service wastes time on the road, which is really not good.

Chicago and New York are not far away, but traveling back and forth between New Orleans and Los Angeles is what it means to truly move forward with a heavy burden.

"Why don't you consider buying a manor in New Orleans and live there when you have nothing to do?" The slave owner showed Edith Rockefeller what it meant to be more shameless than the most shameless. Seeing that he was a little too busy, he was ready to ask the woman to think of a way to relieve her fatigue from the journey.

"You've come up with this idea!" Edith Rockefeller said with a hint of contempt, but she agreed very readily, "I'll send someone to New Orleans in a few days to see if there is a suitable estate."

After finishing the main business, Sheffield can now discuss some small matters with Edith Rockefeller, such as the issue of the president of the United States Red Cross. "The election of the president of the Red Cross will be in the middle of the year, so there is still a lot of time. McHale is contacting the Red Cross branches in the southern states. In my opinion, there is nothing that a non-governmental organization cannot do. As long as you use the power of Standard Oil and take over a few states, and add the help of our major companies in the south, it will be a piece of cake. Don't tell me that you can't even take over a few states. There are several states in the north, but they are not as big as the city of Texas."

The characteristics of the United States are the opposite of those of the Republic. Strictly speaking, the Yankee territory only includes the area around the New York metropolitan area and the five Great Lakes. It cannot be compared with the South in terms of area, but it has a large population and is rich in important resources.

"Of course I will work hard, and I have already contacted the feminist movement to support me!" Edith Rockefeller was clearly well prepared and added, "I learned this from you."

"The timing is also good. The White House will never end the corporate trusts so easily. This provides a natural cover. It will be convenient for secret operations if no one is paying attention." Before doing something, you must first muddy the waters. Now that Edith Rockefeller has understood this, it is very good.

Although Edith Rockefeller was pleased by the slave owner’s compliment, she still said, “The White House has failed, and this is not okay?”

"Roosevelt is that bastard!" Sheffield curled his lips. "Never overestimate the bottom line of politicians. They have none at all!" Now it seems that the White House has stopped its actions. Who knows what evil things those people are planning!

"How can it be lower than you?" Edith Rockefeller accidentally told the truth, but it was too late to take it back.

"I am just a slave owner. If you want to see the aristocratic style, you are welcome to visit Arlington. Anne is the real French aristocrat. I am just a farmer, and I just talk like that." Sheffield raised his head, not thinking that he had said anything wrong.

Women are demons! Especially Edith Rockefeller, who has reached her prime age and is not easy to deal with. Fortunately, Sheffield is young, otherwise he would not be able to handle it.

After successfully taking advantage of the time difference, Sheffield took the president's daughter to explore the Midwest. In fact, given the population density and the strength of the police department in the United States, it can be said that the United States is actually very dangerous. In some remote places, no one would know if someone died, and this is definitely not a scare tactic.

Sheffield also solemnly warned Alice Roosevelt during the trip that she must never travel alone, "Things like driving to St. Louis by yourself, you must never do it again, and take this!"

Alice Roosevelt took the pocket watch and asked, "You want me to check the time?"

"You can take this pocket watch to the agricultural and livestock association in any state in the country. They will help you, but it's best not to use it and just bring bodyguards!" Sheffield looked at the people gradually disappearing in the distance, feeling a little proud in his heart. He had kidnapped the president's daughter again.

Alice Roosevelt soon realized that the slave owner was not lying about the dangers in the wild. She found that since leaving the city, the man's demands had increased a lot.

Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city means being away from many morals and troubles. We are all family, so we can do whatever we want.

The slave owner finally realized that the old man's loss of contact was actually a good way of life.

In Congress in Washington, Attorney General Knox accused the existence of corporate trusts in front of members of Congress, saying that they must not give up because of the setback in Minnesota. Most citizens hated corporate trusts. The St. Paul Court in Minnesota had been surrounded by protesting citizens for several days. This was obvious evidence of the situation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The fight against the trusts will never stop until all citizens are freed from fair competition, so I am proposing a bill as Attorney General!" Knox cleared his throat and spoke in front of the congressmen, "In order to hear monopoly cases involving major public interests, the federal government can set up a special temporary district court composed of three judges. This can prevent the courts from being infiltrated by trust companies. The existence of temporary courts is mainly for hearing cases in other places. It is the fairest choice to hear such public interest monopoly cases in states with no relevant interests."

"I have obtained the president's consent for this proposal!" Attorney General Knox raised his head and said, "Now we can vote!" Then he walked down from the podium.

The United States federal district courts generally only have one judge seat, such as the São Paulo court that previously tried the Northern Securities monopoly case. The proposal this time is for a three-judge district court, which is a special temporary federal district court, usually established for a certain type of case. It is composed of two district court judges and one appellate court judge. Once the case is over, it will be disbanded, and appeals against its judgment can be made directly to the Federal Supreme Court.

This would avoid the situation where Minnesota had a previous unfavorable outcome for the federal government and the case would be heard again in the same place, only to fail due to previous precedents.

In the end, the proposal was passed by both the Senate and the House after a vote in Congress. Sheffield, who had just got off the train, did not know about this until he arrived in a city with a large population.

"This gangster is our federal government, which is the most gangster. It just ignores our interests until public opinion supports it." Sheffield, who was holding a newspaper, only dared to criticize the system of the United States in front of Jesla. "It has obviously been judged, but they suddenly added the proposal. I believe that even Morgan would not have thought that this situation would happen, right?"

Sheffield was just enjoying the trip in the sparsely populated Midwest with a basic escort force. This was already shocking to the federal government's operation, as for other interested parties, I dare not think about it.

"How can this be!" After hearing the news from Washington, even Morgan, who thought he was a veteran, felt angry as if he had been shown off. The country was acting like a hooligan, which was even more excessive than that of a banker like him who had left countless corpses under his feet.

It was not just Morgan who made such a gaffe. Rockefeller, Hartman, Hill and other direct stakeholders were all shocked. Where was the sanctity of the law? The previous judgment was invalidated, and the two sides started over?
