"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 68 It's all for the good of the United States
The matter of this French girl going to school must be put on the agenda immediately. Sheffield looked at Anne's flushed face and shy look and thought that his age was not yet suitable for development centered around a bed.
1895 was the time when the United States would completely determine the status of each field. If this opportunity passed, a family would be kicked out of their class. The United States would guarantee that everyone would have the opportunity to enter the middle-class freeman class, but it never said that they could enter the top of the pyramid. Sheffield felt that since it was a pyramid, it would be best if there was only one person at the top, so why not himself.
For this purpose, all other things can be put aside, whether it is moral or not, right or wrong, these are minor issues. The truly important thing is to maintain your own status, weave a large airtight filter, and block the impact of others on your class.
As for doing business, he was limited by his previous experience. After all, he had never read chicken soup articles such as "Zongheng Business Field" and "The Way of the Wolf". He only had a very basic understanding: do what can make money, and don't touch what can't make money. It's that simple. Once he enters a field, he only pursues a very clear goal, monopoly! As long as he can achieve a monopoly position, he can make money by doing anything.
After reading the newspapers that cursed Britain every day, Sheffield stretched his body and sang a long song to get rid of his fatigue. The establishment of the United Fruit Company laid a foundation for the layout of Latin American countries. It only needed to follow other people's paths and leave them with nowhere to go. The United Fruit Company could dominate the small Latin American countries for decades. As long as the Soviet Union did not appear, there was no force that could help these small countries repel the infiltration of the United Fruit Company.
After all, the southern states of the United States are the base camp, and Sheffield has both geographical advantages and people. With such an excellent foundation, it is foreseeable that it will repel competitors in the field of agricultural products.
However, it is impossible to dominate the country with its geographical location facing Latin America. The advantages of the East Coast are too great. Others have occupied the beachhead, and it is difficult for us to run to someone else's territory and dominate. Instead of doing this, it is better to turn the gun around and land on the West Coast facing the Pacific Ocean.
Only by dominating the West Coast and having advantages in the southern states, Sheffield felt it was possible to gain an advantage over the Yankees in the North. This was the same as the Civil War, except that one was in the field of war and the other in the field of business.
In the Civil War, there was only one way for the Dixie people to win: just like his grandfather, Old Sheffield, had done, occupying Texas and quietly preparing for the war to come, and then launching a sudden attack and directly cutting off the connection between the North and the West along the Mississippi River.
The population of the North was more than twice that of the South. Once the food supply from the Great West was cut off, famine would surely occur in the North within a year. Before the Civil War, the North's food supply often relied on Southern plantations.
From the beginning, the western territories of the United States were excluded from the Civil War, so the North had an industrial advantage, but there would definitely be famine at the beginning. Although the South had a weak industry, the weapons it produced were sufficient to support the war without causing famine.
If it had been successful, Sheffield would be living a comfortable life now, without having to work hard. He could have lived a comfortable life and chatted and laughed with Vanderbilt's descendants.
Oak Manor is now Sheffield's office. To be very modest, he is now busier than the governor of Louisiana, but not as busy as the White House, where people are protesting against the British with their bare buttocks. This is not slander. If the Philippines protested against the Republic in this way in the future, Sheffield would also describe it this way.
If the strength of Germany, France and Russia were not enough to distract Britain, with the current military strength of the United States, the British Empire would have long ago let the United States know what the majesty of the world hegemony is.
If you want to fight, just come from Canada and burn down the industrial area of Wudalian Lake. We Dixies will definitely pretend we didn't see it!
Sheffield felt that the British Empire, as the world police, was not domineering at all. It was even worse than the Ku Klux Klan that had just arrived in New Orleans today. At least they dared to do something.
"I thought you had disappeared a long time ago, but you are still here? Your clothes are nice. Life should be full of rituals. Please take a seat..." Sheffield looked at the guests who came to Oak Manor, and his eyes stayed on their military uniforms for a moment. The military uniforms of the Confederate States of America were of different styles because the uniforms of each state were slightly different.
The KKK didn't exist for long before it was declared illegal by the federal government and no longer operated in public. But Sheffield knew that they probably hadn't disappeared, and today's scene proved his guess.
However, considering the time when the Democratic Party regained power in the southern states, Sheffield felt that there was a big problem. It seemed that the KKK 30 years ago was already a white glove, either deliberately created by some Democrats or used by the Democrats. After the power of the southern states returned to the hands of the Democrats, they quickly disappeared.
Of course, this is just a guess. Sheffield has no evidence. He clapped his hands to attract attention and said, "You should have seen the newspaper. My family donated some funds to build a police school to supplement the police system of the United States. The students in the school will receive subsidies. What I mean is very simple. Many suitable 3K Party members can join the police department. This is a good way out and maintains the existing order. I personally think that Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, is a very important place, and law enforcement must be greatly strengthened."
"Don't look at me like that!" Sheffield pointed his finger at the conveners of each state who were looking at each other. "You are breaking the law now. You don't need to argue. Once you enter the police system, you will have the power to enforce the law. This is completely different. You know how powerful the police are without me telling you. Do you bribe every time you hold a rally? Like in front of the state court? How much money do you have?"
The conveners who were listening attentively were all silent. One was breaking the law and the other was enforcing the law. There was no need to explain the difference in detail. Everyone could understand it. Sheffield had indeed pointed out a clear path for them and donated money to the police school.
"Master William, the descendants of the legion commander have not forgotten us." Conley sighed, feeling that his previous actions were reckless. Why didn't he think of entering the police system? Wouldn't he be able to shoot at any time? He could prevent the criminals from reaching the court and kill them on the spot.

"It's all for the safety of citizens, taking from the people and giving back to the people!" Sheffield pretended to be reserved, saying that he had only done insignificant things and it was all for the better of the country.
