Chapter 132 I Know Tractors
There is no doubt that even if Sheffield is an idiot about politics, he can understand the principle of quick victory. If we assume that the Democratic Party will inevitably lose the election next year, then the time left for him is only about one year! It seems that there is still time, but for a power grid covering southern states, this amount of time is really nothing.
This is not a matter of putting on a light bulb after turning on the electricity. If this can be considered electrification, then it would be natural for the South Asian overlord, our Indian brother, Modi, to announce that India has eliminated darkness one year after taking office. But in fact, the value of such a statement is comparable to that of the laundry detergent of the United States. Perhaps the old man really has infinite magical powers.
From the Soviet to the republic, Sheffield thought for a long time, but it seemed that no one dared to announce the success of electrification within a year, not even to declare its initial establishment.
Under such circumstances, it is quite normal for General Electric not to be in a hurry, which is impossible in common sense. However, if you calculate carefully, the situation is different. The current population of more than 20 million in the southern states cannot be compared with the population that the two hostile camps want to cover. Moreover, the southern states do not have extreme terrain and climate. They are not like the Northeast, the eldest son of the Republic, which works for half a year in the warm season and rests for half a year when it gets cold.
As for the Soviet Union, it is even more unnecessary to mention that most of the country is in the cold zone, just like an enhanced version of the Northeast. This means that Sheffield can make full use of the remaining time.
It seems that the problem we are facing now is that although the area for promoting electrification seems to be very large, in fact the population is not that large. Since the population in the south is not large, there is no need to worry about land acquisition issues, and the population can be concentrated and focused on operations.
So it was not impossible to try to do it faster, better and cheaper. Warden McAdams understood and knew that it was time to shed blood and tears for Sheffield United. Waving the blank commutation notice, he gave the scum and pigs in his mouth a very simple choice between the two.
Either you work to reduce your sentence, or you get nothing. You must participate in the labor of building the United States. Labor is inevitable. People in prison are not considered human beings at all. There is only a difference between your active participation and passive participation. Not participating is impossible.
The number of prisoners in the two prisons, together with Mexicans who were caught crossing the border for no reason, is less than 10,000. The current population of Texas is less than 3 million, which fully demonstrates the simple folk customs of Texas. As for the prisoners in the state prison, they are not counted in the labor force for the time being.
Even if we have a large army of low-cost labor, there is still a labor gap if we want to complete key projects within a year. In short, we still have to think of a solution without increasing costs.
At this moment, Sheffield came to the newly reorganized Sheffield United Machinery Company. How important is mechanization? Anyway, in his previous life, when he was young, he always heard this word because he loved watching military channels. At that time, the fully mechanized corps was often used as an example of the military powers of the time, the United States and the Soviet Union. Mechanization entered Sheffield's mind from that time.
Although the spirit of Yugong moving mountains is very valuable, this era is different. We should open our arms to machinery and welcome a new round of changes. Of course, in every era there is always a group of people who don’t like new things very much.
At this moment, I am one of the representatives of the Qing Dynasty. Sheffield undoubtedly commented on this woman. After all, an adult has never been exposed to a new thing, so it is understandable that she would reject it instinctively. It's not stupid, but it's true that she is stubborn.
As a keyboard warrior who loves world history, Sheffield knows that in fact, the current Emperor of the German Empire, the most powerful monarch on the European continent, William II, had actually asserted when the car first appeared in front of him that this thing was useless and far inferior to the horse-drawn carriage, and it could not be popularized at all.
As a powerful monarch who led the Industrial Revolution, William II was so amazing when he spoke that it was even more hilarious than the Qing Dynasty, which was worried about destroying its feng shui. But this did not stop many people from licking his boots. Nonsense, how could a foreign monarch be so stupid? Only someone like the old Buddha would speak like this.
Anyway, Sheffield didn't know that William II, who had seen railways all over Germany since he was a child, was much smarter than Karl Lagerfeld, who had never seen a railway, when he said such things.
Sheffield is definitely a representative of poor personal ethics. If these rigorous, old-fashioned and scientifically knowledgeable German engineers knew that their employer was slandering their monarch in his heart, I wonder what they would think?
But maybe it doesn't matter to know. As the largest single population group of immigrants from the United States, the so-called patriotism of the Germans has always been a question mark in Sheffield's mind. It is not that a certain ethnic group is particularly patriotic. There are unpatriotic people in all ethnic groups. Patriotism is just a matter of personal stance.
Sheffield was calm in the middle of a group of German technicians, even though his boss didn't know the slightest about mechanical principles and had nothing to show for it except his wealth and billions. But it didn't matter, because there were people who knew what he didn't know. It was the end of the 19th century, and it was no longer an era where one or two geniuses could handle everything.
There is a famous saying that goes, "There are good horses only when there are good horse trainers." Good horses are common, but good horse trainers are rare. Therefore, even if there is a famous horse, it will only be humiliated by the hands of slaves and die in the stable, and it is not called a thousand-mile horse." Sheffield does not need to know anything, he only needs to use his wealth and billions of dollars to find people who know.
The imported Dongfanghong tractor, nicknamed the Big Red Bull, which looks like the glory of the Republic in the future, is being driven around and around by a man dressed as a farmer. The German technicians beside him are indeed professionals, and they use their actions to tell Sheffield what professionalism is. This is what professionalism is!
Some people were using pocket watches to calculate time, and some were counting mileage! This made Sheffield feel very funny. What were you doing? Racing? Were you ready to rush over and change the spare tire at any time?
"At present, the damage rate of the tractor can be further controlled, but the design is definitely excellent and reliable. Master William has such attainments in design." Hermann Bach expressed his sincere admiration.
"Thanks for the compliment, but I only know a little bit!" Sheffield accepted the compliment with a reserved attitude, as if no one knew more about tractors than him. After all, it was the product of the Republic, and the design of Dongfanghong was still able to surpass that of the late 19th century. He pondered for a moment and said, "The name of the tractor is Tiema. For farmers, it doesn't need a too complicated name. It's best to be close to the theme."
