Chapter 441 Positive Energy Benefit Exchange

As for the engine, although the current innovation in the automotive industry is based on changing the shell, there are always special cases. Sheffield now wants to develop trucks, with a short-term goal of three tons of load capacity. Isn't the engine useful? The innovation indicators of the truck industry have also been released, so truck innovation is based on increasing weight.

The trucks of United Company have a load capacity of three tons. If the trucks of other automobile factories have a load capacity of four tons, then United Company will launch a five-ton truck. They will squeeze out the toothpaste when there is no threat and raise the standard when there is a threat, and will never miss out on profits at any stage.

Various technologies need to mature step by step, and the smelting technology of various metals needs to be improved. When making prototypes, we can use the best materials regardless of cost. When mass-producing, we need to consider various factors. So for Sheffield, there is no need to be too radical, just enough for the current stage.

Anyone who knows a little about World War II will remember the logistics of the United States' production. This is all based on the huge automobile industry. Because of its strong logistical support and industrial production capacity. During World War II, the United States produced nearly 300,000 aircraft, 100,000 tanks and self-propelled artillery, more than 150 aircraft carriers, 400,000 artillery pieces, and 3.2 million military trucks. Its military production capacity ranked first in the world, and it was a typical type of the more it fought, the more it produced.

At the same time, the United States has strong logistical supply capabilities and can easily transport supplies to any battlefield, which is unmatched by other countries.

Now United Motors has the most powerful automobile industry in the country. If it can focus on trucks, in the event of a showdown that Sheffield is very reluctant to face, the South, which lacks railways, can use trucks to make up for the lack of railway capacity. As for oil, the slave owners are Texans.

Overall, this cross-border inspection has achieved very satisfactory results. Counting on his fingers, Sheffield has set a basic development plan. The aircraft carrier test will be placed in the San Francisco shipyard, and the aircraft and submarines will still be placed in the factory near Houston. A few life-saving items should still be hidden tightly.

This is not because he is afraid of the Yankees, but because he cares about the other side. War is a very terrible thing. If there is such a day, he will not hesitate. As a slave owner, human life is worthless in Sheffield's eyes. Whoever hits me, I will hit the black people. It's just that black people are easy to bully and easy to be used as scapegoats. White people's lives are also worthless, but they don't say it out loud to destroy racial feelings.

Thinking of the issue of black people, Sheffield whispered to John Connor, "There are some things I can't say. You tell Gale to be careful and not to always steal prisoners from my prison trust. I know some customers like to torture and kill, and I will pretend I don't know. But there are so many countries in Latin America, just send someone to kidnap some, don't always think about my prisoners."

"Got it, boss!" John Connor followed closely and said, "In fact, I didn't expect that there are villains in this world who are more bastards than us, and they are so well-dressed. We are here to make money."

"Because they are not threatened by the law, it's so simple. They can do whatever they want. Being free is the real freedom. You kill people for money, and they kill for pleasure." Sheffield sneered. If the film technology was not immature, he would not doubt that Gail would have directly let the Iron Guard Film Company appear in advance.

Under the guise of inspecting the mine, Sheffield determined that the preliminary agricultural tractor was reliable and left the test site very satisfied. At the same time, the tank was dismantled and all evidence was destroyed.

Now in Mexico, being a citizen of the United States is not dangerous. Diaz has made peace with the United States. He has extended the railroad beyond the borders to connect with the United States and has given special discounts to American merchants. Naturally, merchants have flocked to Mexico and become guests of honor. The federal government is very pleased with Diaz's approach and has nothing but praise for him. Elihu Lute, the US Secretary of State, said that Diaz is a hero worshipped by mankind and a great man.

As for what the public thinks of this neighbor that took away half of Mexico's territory, when have the untouchables ever had the final say?

Sheffield was not in a hurry to leave and returned to Tagore Manor, expressing that he was very satisfied with everything there.

Rodriguez was very attentive to the distinguished guests and even prepared two hot Latin beauties. He also expressed his deep regret for his negligence in the past few days.

"You're too polite. I'm a married man." Sheffield declined unsteadily, and finally said, "Then send me to my room tonight. I'll take them back home and marry them off to an honest man. Since you're so polite, as a friend, I'll say a few words. President Diaz is already 77 years old. I certainly don't doubt the Tagore family's loyalty to the president, but this age is already quite dangerous, and we must make corresponding preparations. I personally don't want to see the president leave one day and my friends are not prepared."

Rodriguez was a little wary when he heard this, and took a deep look at Sheffield, but he found that the slave owner looked very sincere and should not be a bad person. It must be said that this was a mistake. Sheffield was often the most sincere when he did bad things.

"I wonder what the best way to deal with it is if such a day really comes." Rodriguez asked very cautiously.

"Of course it's a democratic election! It's totally possible to say it, and it stands on the moral high ground. Those ordinary people love to hear these nice words, and they are obsessed with them." Sheffield said with a sly smile, "Stable democratic elections are very beneficial to us, because no one can control us. Even if a strong politician emerges, it is only temporary. Politicians have a term of office, but we don't. We are the bosses all our lives, and it is impossible for us to fail. The only one who can defeat us is ourselves."

Democratic elections have many advantages. For example, the longer they drag on, the more efficient they are; the more they cost, the more honest they are. If you agree with something, I oppose it; if you oppose something, I agree with it; in the end, nothing will get done.

"The election is not stable enough if someone I don't like comes to power," Rodriguez asked hesitantly.

"You still don't see it clearly enough. The number of elected state-level legislators is no more than a thousand. Can they manage this country?" Sheffield shrugged. "They still rely on civil servants who are hundreds of times more numerous than legislators. They can't win over these civil servants."

Far away in Washington, Roosevelt was planning a naval ocean voyage. Alice Roosevelt's suggestion had already impressed the President. Of course, this still required the approval of all members of Congress, and everything had to comply with democratic procedures.

So Roosevelt invited Democratic leader Alton Parker to the White House to communicate in advance before the official announcement, so that when it was actually proposed to Congress, it would have the effect of achieving a universal response.

When Alton Parker came to the White House, he knew that this was a great opportunity to exchange interests, so he said, "Mr. President, I can communicate with members of the Democratic Party, but I will also make a proposal right away and hope to get your approval."

"Mr. Alton can speak first. I will think about it." Roosevelt was not surprised. Exchange of interests was a common thing. As long as it was not a matter of principle, everyone could sit down and talk.

"Oh, that's right. The important role of the Southwest Railway has been demonstrated in the San Francisco earthquake. However, the New Mexico region, which is a must-go for the railway, still has no formal administrative district, and the federal government lacks management over it. This is very abnormal. Establishing a state in New Mexico is now up for discussion. We can't make the same mistake again."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Alton Parker brought up the decision made at Arlington Manor when Roosevelt needed support, and emphasized, "I personally believe that state-level administrative districts can be formally established after the mid-term elections. The new governor can refer to the establishment of California 60 years ago, which was appointed by the president."

"After the midterm elections?" When President Roosevelt heard Alton Parker's words, he became a little alert, thinking that this was a trap. Alton Parker represented the Democratic Party and wanted to add some variables to the midterm elections.

Roosevelt's prestige was so high that he naturally did not want any changes, good or bad. But when he heard Alton Parker say that it would be officially established after the mid-term elections, he knew that it would not affect the results of the mid-term elections. Even if it did, it would be two years later.

Moreover, Alton Parker took the initiative to propose that the federal government appoint the first candidate for governor. Roosevelt thought about it and couldn't think of a reason to refuse. It seemed that Alton Parker really discovered the weakness of the federal government in New Mexico because of the San Francisco earthquake.

"In fact, judging from this earthquake, the importance of the Southwestern Railway is self-evident." Roosevelt thought quickly and looked at Alton Parker's expression and said, "The New Mexico region is already the largest area in the country without an administrative agency. The tragedy of the earthquake has exposed our weakness."

"Yes, there are already quite a few citizens of the United States in New Mexico, and many companies have entered to develop their businesses, but we have no administrative management in the area and we know nothing about it," said Alton Parker. "When you think about it, it's as if the White House and Congress have forgotten about that place."

"I believe this is not a problem!" Roosevelt nodded, having agreed to this exchange of interests. In fact, whether it was his proposed circumnavigation of the world or Alton Parker's proposal to formally establish state administrative districts, they were all for the betterment of the country.
