"Capitalist countries, its meaning is that I have capital and you don't, so this country is mine! Contact the police and suppress me, can't Sheffield do what Rockefeller can do?" Wi...
Chapter 641: African Gendarmerie France
This is indeed a class issue, but that doesn't prevent the three of them from tacitly turning it into a racial issue.
The class issue is an issue that exists everywhere and at all times, but we pretend that it does not exist. Just like Sheffield, he knew that once Capital and the Black Party came out, many people would definitely be furious.
In fact, Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. did explode, but coincidentally, the three of them talked about the racial issue. The racial issue is also the most suitable cover for the real fatal problem.
Capital may only appear in a few words in the court's ruling, or even not at all. But the issue of the black party will definitely become the main evidence of the NAACP's guilt. The more we face class issues, the more cautious we become.
Sheffield knew about this, as did J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller, but they all consciously avoided it. They would rather take the blame for the racial issue than touch upon the real issue of class.
As the head of the slave owner's bodyguards, Jesla knew everything about this matter from the beginning of its planning, and witnessed his boss achieving his goal bit by bit.
On the way back, the head bodyguard said with admiration, "Boss, you played them both like a charm."
"You can't say that!" Sheffield shook his head lightly, looking at the deserted streets outside the car window, "It's just that I know what they are afraid of, and that's what I'm afraid of as well. Normally, we won't take a unified approach to dealing with problems, even racial issues. Black people will exist in our country for a long time, and I won't insist on making them disappear from the United States. Once black people disappear, the real problems will surface."
So it is good for black people to exist in the United States. If something happens, it will only hurt the interests of the lower class. It cannot shake Sheffield's position. If nothing happens, white people can act as a pressure relief valve and vent their anger by shooting a few times.
"Boss, you have achieved your goal anyway. Normally, they are not so easy to talk to." Jesla still felt that Sheffield's plan was a great success this time.
"If you keep praising me like this, I won't be able to help but give you a raise." Sheffield smiled, closed his eyes and dozed off for a while.
All the heads of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, including Du Bois, were caught in one fell swoop. After communicating with Konstantinovich, Sheffield knew that the FBI director had also realized that the issue of the black political party was the most appropriate to attack, at least it would be the most reasonable explanation for the citizen class.
"In this case, some people may defend Wallin, Willard, and Ovington, the white leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. You know, in ordinary trials, there are differences in skin color. To be honest, I don't like this. These Yankees should not exist in society." Sheffield gritted his teeth and said, "The black community itself is excluded. Du Bois is a member of the group. Whatever he does is justified. I have no objection. But if these brain-damaged bastards rely on white people to avoid severe punishment, there will be more imitators in the future."
"What kind of punishment do you want them to receive?" Konstantinovich put his hands in his pockets and asked as he saw the vicious look on Sheffield's face. "Ten years in prison?"
"Too light, tell me the truth, right? They have only one way out, death. If the court cannot come to a satisfactory verdict, I will let the KKK kill their entire family." Sheffield said with a smile, "It's either the death penalty or the whole family being killed. There is no third way to choose."
"Assassination?" Konstantinovich was stunned, but his face changed immediately, "You must want me to do this."
"Hey, don't say that. The FBI is the most professional in this matter. I just asked you to assist the KKK. Your reaction is too polite." Sheffield hugged the FBI director's neck. "My two brothers-in-law promised to force the Mellon family to surrender as soon as possible in order to help me solve this problem. That's a multi-billion dollar industry. I can't be indifferent to such a huge benefit."
In the end, it's all about money. The operation on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People this time is just a class issue covered up by the racial issue. The racial issue is for citizens to see, and Sheffield and his men focus on the class issue. Similarly, for the Mellon family, it's still a matter of profit, which has nothing to do with national justice.
It's just that the three companies have dealt with DuPont at the same time, and have tasted the sweetness of swallowing up other family businesses. The essence is so clear, how can it be so complicated?
"As the director of the FBI, you certainly have your share. We have known each other since childhood. How could I possibly treat you unfairly? It all depends on how much effort you put into these two things." Sheffield said sincerely.
Alice Roosevelt happened to see this scene. Seeing two grown men arm in arm, she felt a little strange. But she didn't think much about it. Whether the slave owner was a real man or not, she, the darling of New York who had been successfully unlocked, knew it best.
"My friend is going back to Washington soon." Sheffield came back to his senses and explained with a smile, "The Ministry of Justice still has many questions to ask him."
"Oh, the Director of the FBI is indeed very busy. The riots in New York were quelled so quickly, which should greatly improve the image of the FBI." Alice Roosevelt nodded and said, "I hope this matter will just pass."
While Sheffield was still busy smearing the image of the United States, the war in Europe had not stopped at all.
The Balkan coalition quickly defeated the Turkish army with superior forces. Greece occupied Salonia, Serbia occupied northern Albania, Novi Pator and part of Macedonia; Bulgaria occupied eastern Macedonia and Thrace and advanced towards Constantinople. Albania launched an uprising and declared independence.
Surprisingly, the Ottoman army was swiftly and decisively defeated as the Balkan forces expelled the Ottoman Empire from nearly all of its territory in southeastern Europe within a month.
A vacuum appeared in the Balkans, and it was time for other countries to perform, scrambling to fill the influence vacated by the Ottoman Empire. In order to weaken Turkey and expand its influence in the Balkans, Imperial Russia supported Serbia. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was afraid that Serbia would gain access to the Adriatic Sea and become stronger, so it mobilized its troops and assembled on the Austrian-Serbian and Austrian-Russian borders to threaten Serbia.
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany promised to aid Austria, even at the cost of a European war. France said that if Russia went to war with Austria and Germany joined, France would fulfill its obligations under the Franco-Russian alliance and aid Russia. Britain also said that if Russia went to war with Germany and Austria, Britain would not remain neutral. The relationship between the great powers was tense and the situation was critical. Russia was not ready for war, and Germany was also concerned about Britain's determination to support Russia.
At this time, when the slave owners were fully manipulating the racial issue in the United States, the French troops in Algeria and Tunisia moved eastward, and 20,000 French troops entered the territory that had been renamed Libya by Italy.
Upon hearing the news, John Connor, who commanded the North African mercenary corps, immediately took down the Southern Cross flag and gave up the territory that the Italian army had not yet taken over, as well as Benghazi, which they controlled.
The mercenary corps organized by Sheffield was a real guest to the local people. It was impossible for a corps formed by a company to truly start a colonial movement. The era of the East India Company had long passed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Therefore, the Italian army did not take this vast expanse of water seriously, but the Roman side never dreamed that John Connor would surrender to France without a word, and the entire mercenary corps directly laid down its arms against the French army advancing eastward, allowing France to directly take over half of Libya.
At the international conference held in London, Italian representatives, who had nothing to do with the Balkan War, joined in and angrily denounced France for taking despicable actions to seize the legitimate interests of the Kingdom of Italy.
"France is aware of what actions are beneficial to France and the entire allies," the French representative retorted righteously. "France believes that its important influence in North Africa may become a move of great interest to France and the entire allies. For this reason, it has taken a proactive attitude to prevent some aggressive countries from harming France."
"France's demands for North Africa are understandable!" The representative of the Russian Empire responded from afar. Faced with the aggressive approach from Germany and Austria, the Russian Empire must stand on the same side as France and share the pressure.
The British, who presided over the international conference, did not expect that the French would send troops to annex Libya without even saying hello.
The British had doubts about this behavior. If there was enough time, experienced British diplomats might have come up with a solution, but the problem was that time was too short and the French army's actions were too sudden, leaving the British no time to think.
Germany and Austria-Hungary fiercely criticized France's actions and said they would stand on the side of the Kingdom of Italy to stop France's hegemonic actions. The Russian Empire believed that Germany, Austria and Italy had become the source of danger in Europe. Public opinion in various countries echoed the diplomats in London, advocating that war was inevitable, and war was imminent.
African gendarmes are amazing! Sheffield heard his wife's explanation on the phone and exclaimed that France was invincible.
The noise of war seemed to be coming soon, but Annie said worriedly, "Will it really start?"
"Germany might join the war for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with which it shares the same culture and ethnicity, but it is unlikely to go to war for Italy just because of a colony." Sheffield comforted his wife, "It all depends on the British's statement. After all, they are the world hegemon, so their words still have power."
