Chapter 51: A weak country has no diplomacy
Now Sheffield only knows that Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary, will almost certainly replace the export of United States agricultural products with grain from the colonies. As for my third brother, the most brilliant pearl of the empire, the local gentlemen will naturally not know how many people died as a result. I believe that my third brother, who has a firm belief in waiting for reincarnation, will not cause trouble to the empire.
After all, Great Britain will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is dried up! Fatty Qiu was actually one of Chamberlain's students. Although he later kicked Chamberlain's son off the prime minister's throne, Fatty Qiu was definitely a disciple of Chamberlain in this regard and could be considered a good student.
After nearly two months of traveling in Europe, Sheffield has not made any progress in agricultural product exports. The only difference is that the exports have changed from the UK to Germany, and it really became a matter of paying for patent authorization.
The British market would certainly be lost for at least a few years, and if the United States stayed out of the European situation, France and Imperial Russia were also major grain exporters, and the United States would not be able to regain its share of agricultural product exports.
In the end, Sheffield could only comfort itself by saying that this day would come sooner or later. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to transform. He could not always rely on the export of agricultural products to make a living. Agricultural products were a basic need anyway. Everyone had to eat, and there would always be a way out in the end.
Sheffield, who held his forehead, regained his sanity and felt that he was too greedy and only wanted to take advantage without suffering any loss. Not to mention whether he was a rare genius, even if he was, the current strength of the United States was not enough for him to show off his power.
If he had that kind of national strength to back him up, he would definitely be able to prevent the Toshiba and Alstom incidents from happening again.
"I'm ready to go back home, so I'll just take you back to Paris!" Sheffield sighed inwardly. Traveling around with a French girl was not the purpose of his coming to Europe after all. If things can't be done, it's better to leave as soon as possible.
The smile on Anne's face gradually faded, and the room suddenly became quiet. It wasn't that she felt like she had met her Mr. Right when she saw Sheffield, but this was the first time she had been in contact with a man for such a long time. And this was also tacitly agreed by both parents. Now he left without any regrets, what did he think of her?
"Am I not pretty, or do you not like women?" Anne stared at Sheffield's face and asked a soul-searching question.
"Of course I like women, isn't that nonsense? Anne, you are French and I am American. I came to Europe just to help my family investigate, and I have no time to develop feelings. Besides, I am going back to my country, and I will definitely not live in Paris with you like my father. My father lived a very comfortable life, but everyone's choices are different, and I don't want to live that kind of life." Sheffield explained dryly, "I can feel that you have no ill feelings towards me, but if I take the opportunity to do something to you, it would be too frivolous. People are different, you should understand this."
Deep down, Sheffield didn't appreciate France's chaotic mistress culture and thriving prostitution industry. Harry Sheffield couldn't like it just because he liked it.
"Does it mean I'm good to you if I sleep with you and then leave?" Sheffield stared at Anne's pretty face, and before she could answer, he continued, "After sleeping with you, I left you in Paris until you got married. I still feel sick when I think about it."
"You are going to find a woman to marry and spend the rest of your life with." It was the first time that Anne had heard of such a man. Such relationships between French men and women were extremely rare, and there were almost no such people in the circle she had come into contact with.
"That's not the case!" Sheffield denied it flatly and shook his head. "Your relationships between men and women are too chaotic. There is no such thing as loyalty between men and women. In my heart, I naturally want many beautiful women to be around me, but they can only do this to me, instead of going out and messing around when I'm not around. It's obvious that your relationships between men and women in France are not like this."
Who doesn't like mistresses? But Sheffield really doesn't like the French mistress culture, it's too chaotic. French marriages are not loyal at all, so what's the point of getting married? To cover up promiscuity?
What Sheffield thinks is, I can mess around, but women must be loyal to him. As for which one is worse, it is difficult to judge. Everyone has their own opinion.
There are many obedient women in the United States, so why would he choose a daughter of an earl who is such a big target? You have to know that there are still so many people who worship foreigners among the wealthy class in the United States. Anne is too big a target.
Since he was born into such a good family in this life, he must have no shortage of women. If he has no shortage of women, why are you in a hurry? Why don't you work hard and be a bootlicker?
"I didn't expect the Colonial Secretary to care so much about trade. Don't take it to heart." Before Sheffield left London, Lord Austin came to see him off, expressed his apologies, and came to maintain the friendship between the two sides.
"My family is also of British descent, so naturally we won't take this matter to heart." Sheffield put on a hypocritical smile and put away his thoughts that robbing people's money was like killing their parents. This account would be settled sooner or later.
If one day you, Great Britain, lose your current momentum, I will see how I will treat you! Like Sheffield, Secretary of State Olney's tough statement also met with a soft nail in London.
His tough statement was nothing more than the dream talk of a weak country in the eyes of most British politicians. It was said that the United States had already concentrated its entire navy to prepare for war, but so what? If the British Empire could just draw a little force from anywhere to form a squadron, the warm Gulf of Mexico would become the burial place of the US Navy.
I am busy ignoring you, a bunch of country bumpkins, and I am still busy. Another group of politicians, led by Chamberlain, said they wanted to give the United States a warning, but it was just a warning. Because there are many things happening under the nose of Britain, and America is just a corner that the British Empire doesn't pay much attention to.
However, even so, Salisbury explained that Britain had no intention of challenging the Monroe Doctrine. It was not for land, but to protect the legitimate rights and interests of British citizens.
"If it is a land issue, then if Mexico proposes that the disputed land with the United States be submitted to international law, then should Americans also accept the arbitration of the British Empire?" Salisbury took a high-profile stance and pushed back the Monroe Doctrine. This understated attitude was unanimously praised by the public and formed a sharp contrast with the Americans' aggressive attitude.
Secretary Olney's demonstration was dismissed as Sheffield's share of agricultural exports. Britain also ordered the navy to deploy in British Guiana, quietly preparing for any eventuality.
This trip to Europe was a bit anticlimactic. Listening to Russell Kant's patriotic anger, Sheffield didn't want to reveal his anti-China nature at this time, but he couldn't help but said solemnly, "Have you heard that weak countries have no diplomacy?"
Looking at Sheffield's solemn expression, Russell Kant could only feel the humiliation in his heart. He did not realize that Sheffield's hatred for Britain was just because his family's agricultural product exports were blocked. He nodded fiercely and said, "That's right. A weak country has no diplomacy."
Please give me some votes for recommendation. This chapter has been closed in the past few days, but I still want to say Happy National Day.
