Chapter 488: Taking a Break
Nothing is more important than the general election this year. No matter from which angle you look at it, Sheffield feels that the Democratic Party should not lose again this time. The economy is going down, and there is support from big businesses. The key is that there is racism, a bad economy and white supremacy. If they lose again, Sheffield will have to consider changing places. Australia may be more suitable for their development.
On this day, news came from Washington that President Roosevelt had officially decided to return part of the indemnity paid to the United States by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Under normal circumstances, the slave owners would have inevitably incited populism and attacked the White House and the entire Republican federal government. Citizens of every country hope that the country will be as cruel as possible to others, and this operation would be easy to do. However, after thinking about it, the slave owners gave up.
It won’t be too late to bring it up when the election starts. I just mentioned it to Natalia. Although the little girl is trying her best to get pregnant, she is very clingy and said, “Based on your previous style, you would have scolded me a long time ago.”
"You can scold me, but I would do the same if it were me. The Japanese are now the only superpower on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The president is showing goodwill to China just to attract some of Japan's attention." Sheffield smacked his lips and complained, "As the saying goes in the East, use the barbarians to control the barbarians. It's nothing new."
As for what Sheffield thinks of this operation, what can he think? I feel relieved that my motherland is so rogue. Isn't that what everyone thinks when they change their nationality? Slave owners have no sympathy for any country. This is not directed at a certain country, but all countries are like this.
"I heard that the weather in Honduras was bad last year, and there will be problems with grain production this year." Natalia chatted with Sheffield in a casual manner. This news came from the United Fruit Company.
"If there's not enough food, you can eat bananas. It's not like they can't be eaten." Sheffield said lightly, "When famine really hits, it won't be too late to help them. In this world, it's hard to survive. Don't have too much sympathy."
Sheffield and the Belgian king who loved to chop off hands were not much different, except that they would not take such measures that would obviously be exposed. In the eyes of slave owners, the Belgian king should be the most brutal slave owner in the early days of the United States.
Once a country releases a certain signal, these night soil collectors in the United States will react immediately. I heard that the New York Times has already gone to China for an interview. If nothing unexpected happens, China's image will definitely rise sharply in recent years.
When the railways were being built, they were model immigrants. During the economic crisis, the yellow people stole our jobs. Now that Japan is a greater threat, China is again an object to be won over. We must respect this Asian giant again.
Make whatever choices are best for the country. Sincere friendship between countries is very rare, so the Chinese say that China always encounters ungrateful people, and the Russians say that the Soviet Union always encounters ungrateful people.
In fact, compared with the ungrateful people that the United States encounters, they still have to queue up behind. The ungrateful people that the United States encounters are not only numerous, but also have weak fighting capabilities and usually cannot be of much help.
"It's useless to show goodwill to a country like China. What they seek is not a little mercy. The same goes for Russia and many European countries." Sheffield threw the newspaper aside. He was covered in lice, so how could he have the time to scratch the itch for others?
Now Sheffield is also facing the problem of product backlog, but the stock market has also rebounded, and he has started to sell the stocks he had previously bought at the bottom, so overall, the benefits of the big bottom-fishing at the end of last year have just been released. The only drawback is that the DuPont family is also very tenacious.
At present, the slave owner has figured out one thing: to deal with a steady and cautious company like DuPont, it is almost impossible without some political means. Normal means have almost no effect, leaving him with nowhere to start.
The United States is a place where money is king. In other words, as long as you have money and are willing to spend, no matter which country you are a criminal from or how serious your crime is, they will give you enough safety and protection and treat you as a guest of honor. They won't care here.
For example, Sheffield suspected that Gail would get syphilis sooner or later and die in great pain. "Oh, my dear friend, I thought you would never come out of Puerto Rico."
Despite thinking so, Sheffield still gave him a big hug, and the false friendship between slave owners was clearly revealed.
"Those Germans are really perverted!" After a simple greeting, Gale said with a look of discomfort on his face, "I really regret taking the initiative to help you receive the so-called German guests."
Fritz and Gustav returned home after a few days, but that didn't mean that all the German guests had no interest in staying. After Gale found out, he volunteered to entertain Sheffield. Gale's reaction now must have been because something happened in Puerto Rico that Gale couldn't bear to look at. Otherwise, given Gale's reputation in Sheffield that being alive is a crime, he would definitely not have this reaction now.
Sheffield did not ask, and at the same time stopped Gale's description. Romance movies always distinguish between Germans and non-Germans, but the Germans usually hide it better. Even though they lost the two world wars, the nature of the Germans has not changed. They hide it well at ordinary times. When it comes to the critical moment, they don't even take the United States seriously.
"What's wrong?" Natalia came out with some fruit and asked curiously when she saw the two men's behavior.
"Nothing, don't ask." Sheffield spoke first. It's better for the little girl to live in a bubble. "Business matters, when you have a child, I won't hide anything from you."
"I want it right away too!" Natalia replied shyly. Her hardware conditions were very good and the slave owner said it was perfect, but this kind of thing could not be rushed and she could only worry in her heart.
Actually, I asked Gail to come back for no other reason than to ask how many scandals the Republican Party has accumulated. The election has not started yet. Even if the Democratic Party wins the presidential election, Congress will still be a test. It is easy to increase taxes, but it is much more difficult to reduce taxes. If Congress gets stuck here, the Republican Party will always need to cooperate.
Otherwise, how could Sheffield, a slave owner with such a positive outlook, allow Gale to ruin the reputation of the slave owner group in Puerto Rico? Gale pointed a finger at Sheffield and said tacitly, "I dare not say more, but eight or ten is no problem, we can definitely strive for it."
"That's good. It's like a double insurance." Sheffield didn't ask for specific details, and said sadly, "The first half of the year has basically been a chaotic war. Sometimes I feel tired just thinking about it. There are always elections, and every time there is an election, I have to give those bastards money to run for election. If I don't give them money, I have to pay them."
"You have to feed your dog bones!" Gale consoled him from the side. "As a friend, I fully understand your pain over the continuous failures of the Democratic Party over the past twelve years, but I believe that this time it won't happen again."
"The Democratic Party's continuous failures are like my lost youth." Sheffield said without any context. "No, since I have nothing to do recently, I want to go to Puerto Rico to relax."
Just as Gail was about to say yes, Sheffield added, "Natalia, come with me."
Where to go and what to do? Gail felt very disappointed. He should go to Puerto Rico alone so that he could experience the beauty of it. However, he couldn't say anything when he wanted to bring a woman with him.
For Sheffield, this was a way to relax before the battle. He not only brought Natalia with him, but also Evelyn and Sato Kyoko, as if he was preparing to take his family on vacation.
On this sunny day, the bright sunshine enveloped the entire Puerto Rico from early morning, with a gentle breeze, clear skies and a deep blue sky. Sheffield liked this kind of weather because only on such days would he feel relaxed all over, and seemed to be so refreshed and carefree from head to toe.
Wearing a clean white bathrobe, lying on a lounge chair by the pool, smoking leisurely under the parasol, for him, such a relaxed and leisurely life had not been enjoyed for a long time.
In the large swimming pool, Natalia, wearing a plain and conservative swimsuit, was swimming over from the deep water area opposite. Her diving movements were extremely graceful. Every swing of her arms and kick of her legs looked so elegant, like a mermaid playing in the water.
The black swimsuit on Natalia's fair body was even more visually impactful and pleasing to the eyes at a glance. Facing such a pleasing view, Sheffield chewed at the air unconsciously, as if he was a beast that saw its prey and was so hungry and thirsty.
"This is life!" Just as he was about to take action, Evelyn appeared with a glass of juice. Sheffield instantly switched state and returned to a serious expression. Evelyn was not surprised and just sat next to him. She really regarded this trip to Puerto Rico as a vacation.
"If you like this kind of life, you can come here often. I think this place is pretty good." Evelyn lay on the recliner next to her, stretched out her white arm and hooked her fingers around the slave owner's hand, her voice full of laziness.
"It's mainly because I don't have the opportunity. I only have this period of free time. This is because I left Annie in Arlington." Sheffield said sadly, "If I think about it carefully, I feel sorry for her."
Oh? Evelin glanced at the mermaid in the pool. Was there something wrong with saying sorry to his wife in front of other women?
