Chapter 381 Australia and South Africa
As McHale rode his horse over the obstacle again, there was cheering and applause from the audience, as if they were fascinated by McHale. Every athlete participating in the equestrian event this time was a priority for women looking for a partner, which resulted in a large group of women appearing in the equestrian arena.
Gail, who also cheered, put down his hand and praised beside Sheffield, "Now I know why McHale likes equestrianism. It is indeed a sport that attracts people's attention."
"As expected, he's the champion!" Sheffield lazily leaned back in his seat, crossed his hands and held the back of his head, and asked curiously, "Why aren't people as particular as horses? Are they purebloods?"
"Isn't it a rule? You also know the one-drop-of-blood principle." Gail shrugged. Although he didn't know much about horses, he found the loophole in Sheffield's words.
"The one-drop blood principle can't control mixed-bloods. Don't tell me that the mixed-bloods that appear now are women who like black dicks. Few women dare to make such a choice. On the contrary, many men can't control their crotches." Sheffield sneered, "The real pure-blooded race should be the Tasmanians who were wiped out by the Australians. These criminals are too bad. Even for scientific purposes, these aborigines should be preserved."
There were also Australian athletes participating in the equestrian competition. If the athletes about to compete knew that a slave owner was launching fierce attacks on Australia, I wonder if they would withdraw from the competition.
Anyway, they are all here to compete for second place. This kind of scoring event requires referees. Since it is not instant like track and field, the results can naturally be manipulated. Sheffield has already given the gold medal to McHale in advance on behalf of the Olympic Committee. As long as McHale does not make obvious mistakes, a new Olympic champion will be crowned.
While chatting, McHale had completed all the events, dismounted and waved to the audience, his eyes paused slightly at Sheffield and Gale, and then walked off the field.
He couldn't chat with his partner now. Sheffield was the chairman of the United States Olympic Committee. If McHale sat over and was discovered by others, someone might not accept it even if he won the gold medal.
Even when McHale went off the stage to rest, the two of them continued to watch until all the equestrian athletes finished their performances.
"How come Natalia, who has been sticking to you all the time, doesn't show up these days?" Gail yawned and tried to find topics to talk about, hoping that this event would end soon. He came to watch the Olympics just to see McHale sweat, and he was not very interested in this event.
"She's in a low mood!" Sheffield's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile, "You also know that the Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the Russian Navy. Natalia has been much quieter these days."
Sheffield was also quite helpless about this. In the early 20th century, many citizens actually did not have much sense of belonging to the United States. This was originally an immigrant country. To establish this sense of belonging, World War I was considered to be the initial establishment, and World War II was considered to be the completion. This led to the situation where the Stars and Stripes were everywhere in later generations.
It is true that the current United States lacks cohesion. Another reason is that, although the various white countries will fight to the death in ten years, just before World War I, the white countries have reached the peak after the Industrial Revolution. This peak is twofold. Almost all white countries have a sense of group belonging of white supremacy. In addition, all royal families in European countries are essentially one family, and they are all relatives.
"Natalia should think that all European countries should fully support Russia. Including the United States!" Gale restrained his smile and said, "In fact, I also think it should be like this. The British should help Russia deal with provocations from other races."
Sheffield tilted his head and looked deeply at Gale, and said slowly, "Why don't you say that the Confederacy was defeated? It's all wishful thinking like you. We didn't lose unfairly. Heretics are more hateful than pagans. Europe alone is divided into the Slavs in Russia, the Germans in Central Europe, and the Latins in Western Europe. How can we unite?"
If all white countries unite and work together to eliminate other civilizations, to be honest, if it is just an imaginary thought, Sheffield also thinks that this can be done, but it cannot be done without this premise of unity.
If everyone is so wishful thinking, then the list of countries that regret is longer than the Mississippi River. The pacifists regret why they would rather starve to death than support the Ottomans to destroy Europe. The Chinese regret why they did not do better during the Han and Tang dynasties. The Persians regret that when the first Persian Empire existed, the whole world was made up of small city-states. Why didn't they take advantage of that time to rule the world?
In the final analysis, it is still impossible to do it. Who would not want to try if they could do it! Didn't the Southern Army fight desperately during the Civil War? Who dares to say that the war was not fierce? But if they didn't fight, they didn't fight. What excuses are there? If they won, the slave owners would have thrown the Yankees into the Great Lakes to feed the fish.
With the equestrian event coming to an end, McHale unsurprisingly became the champion of this event. Sheffield openly held an award ceremony for this shady event, put the gold medal around his business partner's neck with his own hands, and created the feeling of unfairness with his own hands. It was so pleasant.
As for the next event, it will continue in three days. Because the Olympic Games and the World Expo are held at the same time, in order to take into account the time of the World Expo, the Olympic events have to be extended. The extension of the event will attract domestic tourists.
"Our Olympic champion, aren't you going to have a drink?" Gail put his hand on McHale's shoulder. "How does it feel to be the best equestrian in the world?"
"The organizers, co-organizers, sponsors, referees, and even the audience are all our people. What can they use to fight me?" McHale laughed, holding the gold medal in his hand.
McHale didn't care about Olympic champions at all. The medals for this Olympics were all provided by McHale Mining. The gold medals were gold-plated, but the silver medals were pure silver, and their value was no less than that of the gold medals.
"Don't say that. You should have won!" Sheffield pointed at the gold medal and said meaningfully, "How can ordinary people afford equestrianism? Without a big manor and the money to buy purebred horses, how can you afford it? Those who participate in equestrianism are either farmers or nobles. You should have won because you are a farmer in our south. Gail is right. We can just invite these equestrian athletes for a drink."
Since the participants were all athletes with status and position, Sheffield naturally could not forget class feelings. He was a slave owner and did not care what race the slaves he ruled were. He just wanted to save costs and make them more homogeneous. But if someone wanted to change the order, then no matter what race they were, they would die.
In addition to farmers from the United States, the equestrian athletes also include colleagues from South Africa and Australia. Although they are all descendants of farmers and have acquired their current farms through hard work, they are still very speculative with each other.
Class attributes played a major role in this exchange. Sheffield was naturally envious of the resources in South Africa and Australia, and was able to establish some connections. Gold and iron ore were all money. If he could really get involved, he could destroy the core area of the Yankee territory, and there were a bunch of industrial cities with close resources next to New York.
Even McHale and Gale found that these people from Australia and South Africa had such similar views as themselves. As Sheffield once said, these people were more like compatriots than Yankees.
"London and the Australians have different interests. Those aristocrats in London are as stubborn as granite. How can they possibly understand the feelings of the Australians? The White Australia Policy was implemented very correctly." McHale clinked glasses with his opponent on the field and said, "If the interests are different, don't listen to London's opinions. Everyone needs to live for themselves."
"The main threat to Australia is the Malays in the Dutch colonies. As a large ethnic group, the Malays are now divided into British Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and the American Philippines. These three places are under the jurisdiction of different countries. The common goal is to prevent the Malays from becoming a real country. Among them, the Dutch East Indies has the largest base and is the ethnic group that Australia should be most vigilant about!" Sheffield said while holding a glass of wine. "Preventing them from becoming a country is a victory. The Philippines has different beliefs from the other two places, so this is good news for Australia."
"As for South Africa, we must find a way to seal off the northern border, and the Boers in South Africa must stop the continuous flow of ethnic groups crossing the border, otherwise problems will arise sooner or later."
This is what it means to meet too late. Sheffield knows that due to their own basic conditions, South Africa and Australia actually need foreign support, and this support will inevitably require some exchanges.
The southern forces represented by Sheffield met allies in terms of values and values, and they also wanted to support each other. If they had the recognition of these two places, Sheffield felt that they would be able to catch up with the industrial strength of the Yankees even faster.
Everyone drank happily until Sheffield took out his pocket watch to check the time, and it was time to go back.
"Are you going to run a bath for Natalia again? You're not looking for a woman, you're looking for a queen." Gale was a little drunk and teased, "You're not like this before."
"It's none of your business. I have my own schedule!" Sheffield stood up with a cold face. He did go back to run a bath for Natalia, so what.
Doesn’t Natalia need care now? Of course Sheffield has to do it himself. He doesn’t want anyone else to do it.
