Chapter 673 The Most Authentic False Information
"William, the Russian emperor's daughter has been found, which can be regarded as restoring the country's reputation. The United States will not be under such great pressure." Franklin Roosevelt had just returned to New York for vacation and came to see Sheffield. "By the way, what have you been doing recently? I thought you would stay in Arlington."
"The pressure on our country will disappear immediately even if we can't find the Grand Duchess." Sheffield said with a double meaning. As for what he has been doing in New York recently, of course he has been imitating the Vanderbilt family and constantly holding grand cocktail parties. Many members of the Vanderbilt family have come, because they are professional.
With the help of the Vanderbilt family, the relationship between slave owners and foreign companies is rapidly heating up. Whether it is the British, Germans or French, they have all become friends of slave owners.
There was just a slight sequelae, too many cocktail parties, plus Alice Roosevelt's needs. Recently, I have been a little out of energy, but of course there is no need to let my cousin Franklin Roosevelt know about this.
During the chat, we talked about the mid-term elections. As expected, the Republicans were angry again. They believed that racial segregation within the legal scope would damage the international image of the United States, and hoped that the Democratic Party would come up with a method that would not attract so much criticism but would have the same effect.
Sheffield thought that this was just looking for trouble, and the opposition party could not come up with any solution except to criticize. It was easy to blame this and that, but the key point was that it was easy for them to just stand there and talk, but they themselves could not do anything.
Franklin Roosevelt laughed dumbly and shook his head, "William, you are right. The opposition party is more or less like this. They tend to raise some lofty but ineffective questions."
If you knew that the Democratic Party would be like this a hundred years later, would you be pissed off? Sheffield's face flashed with a hint of amusement. The time when a real estate businessman came to power was really dangerous for the white people in the United States. In terms of the total number of votes, the Republican Party has long fallen behind the Democratic Party. Even as time goes by, the gap between the two sides is still widening. The proportion of Republican supporters is decreasing every year.
The Republican Party at that time was almost like the Democratic Party after the Civil War. Without a super candidate, it would have been impossible for it to win. Even so, the Democratic Party continued to grant citizenship to tens of millions of illegal immigrants, hoping to prevent the Republican Party from ever turning over.
What will happen when Republican supporters can no longer guarantee that the Republican Party can win the election? Isn't it simple? A similar situation has already occurred once during the Cold War. The Democratic and Republican bases have shifted, but a hundred years later in the era of real estate businessmen, the situation is even more dangerous.
There will not be a reversal of positions, and those rural whites will probably be completely abandoned. Because the ethnic ratio at that time will be worse than the basic base change during the Cold War. The 40% of right-wing whites may never find a party willing to speak for them again.
"Since my uncle called on progressives to return to the Republican Party, they have high hopes for the midterm elections this time," Franklin Roosevelt lamented. "Some Republicans have used mixed-race people to make a fuss about the pitiful situation of these people, and the effect seems to be quite good."
"Using children to make a fuss? Great! Moral kidnapping, right?" Sheffield praised sincerely. Isn't this the ancestor of the white left group a hundred years later? Whenever they want to promote an issue, they first use children and women to make a fuss, using vulnerable groups to arouse the sympathy of the majority. Most of the so-called touching photos come from this.
Seeing Franklin Roosevelt nod, Sheffield thought for a moment and said, "The Republicans are dissatisfied with the Democratic Party's segregation and equality bills, but there is a way to compromise. I can also propose a supplementary clause. Once a white and a black person get married and have children, the white party in the marriage must live in the black community to show racial equality. Never set foot in the white community again!"
"What's the point of this? It seems to be more of the same!" Franklin Roosevelt frowned, not understanding what this meant.
"The effect of this decree is similar to when the federal government proposed the Greater Liberia Plan, and black public figures all expressed that no one loves the United States more than they do." Sheffield smiled indifferently, "If a white person marries a black person, the KKK will always appear and hang black people on trees, which will also arouse resentment. In this way, we can open a loophole and allow people who are willing to marry black people to live in the black community. Isn't this great? I just remembered that although the South has had segregation laws for a long time, there are loopholes in marriage. Simply prohibiting it cannot solve the problem. The plight of lawbreakers must be exposed to the public."
What is the purpose of this supplementary clause? In fact, it is not very useful. It just gives the white community the right to use the law to evict residents of the community on the grounds of intermarriage with blacks, or even just adultery.
The literal meaning of the supplementary clause does not make people feel wrong, but the core is very evil. This is because the slave owners got inspiration from the honor killings in India. In India, if different castes marry each other, relatives of higher castes can kill their relatives without being held accountable by law if they think it is a shame to marry someone of lower caste.
You have to know that the laws of the United States are based on the Anglo-American legal system, and case law plays a very important role. After the supplementary clauses are promulgated, Sheffield only needs to find an unlucky person as a sacrifice to guide the emergence of case law, and then this supplementary clause will become more powerful than any other law.
After chatting for a while, Franklin Roosevelt said that he had something else to do. Sheffield nodded and took out his pocket watch. He actually had other things to do. Then Jesla came over and asked, "Boss, the time is almost up. I didn't come over to remind you because I saw my wife's cousin was here."
"We are discussing the important issue of racial relations. I believe Robert won't blame me." Jessla didn't know if he had seen it wrong. The smile that flashed across his boss's face just now seemed to be able to be described only as hideous.
Can a black man expect to cheat a white woman's body and be done with it? Slave owners would not even let go of women of their own race, so this loophole must be closed. Even if there is no honor killing, the white community will not tolerate such couples. If they want to be with a black person for love, why don't they move to the black community? Isn't this racial discrimination?
"Boss, the Republicans shouldn't be able to see what you're thinking! But didn't you say it too? The Republicans oppose just for the sake of opposing. They will oppose even if they can't see it." After listening to his boss' explanation, Jesla realized that this seemingly insignificant supplementary clause was so vicious at its core.
"So the Republicans are the black party! We Democrats are different. Our policy is separation and equality." The slave owner shook his finger, reminding the head bodyguard that it is the Republicans, not the Democrats, who discriminate against race. "Communicate with the Democratic National Committee in my name and make a plan in this name, saying that the Democratic Party has noticed the miserable situation of mixed-race children and is formulating additional clauses to solve this problem. I dare say that in the current environment, if the mother of a mixed-race child is white, these white women will not dare to come out and admit it. Then these mixed-race children are the result of black people raping white women. The Republicans want to make a big fuss, right? Then make a big fuss. I'm not afraid of anything."
Sheffield said he was not afraid of making things worse, and Jesla believed this very much. He knew that his boss didn't even care about another civil war in the United States. The worse the economy, the more extreme the citizens will be. What's so scary about that?
"Dear Robert, it's been a long time since we last met. How is your lobbying company going?" Although he was still some distance away from Robert Parker, the slave owner had already opened his arms and greeted the former president's son as if he were meeting an old friend.
"That's how it is. Thanks to the connections at the United Company, we have been able to keep operating." Robert Parker was also very happy. He hugged Sheffield before they sat down.
"Mr. President, how is your recent situation? My friends and I all know that the President has given us a lot of convenience. It is a great decision. If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate." Sheffield flipped through the menu and said multitasking.
"Father's illness has indeed become more serious, and he has a big problem with his language, but he has been well taken care of." Robert Parker paused and said, "William, let's put this issue aside for now and talk about the real reason why you came to me. I will definitely help."
Pah! Sheffield closed the menu and said, "It's a pleasure to talk to smart people. I need your help with something. This is not something that ordinary lobbying companies can do. The key reason is your identity. You are the son of the former president. Only your company can be taken seriously."
"It seems to be no small matter!" Robert Parker nodded solemnly, pretending to be listening attentively.
"Let's eat first. Today I will only tell you about the benefits of success." Sheffield suddenly kept silent and stopped talking about this matter.
In fact, before Germany officially supported Austria-Hungary in taking tough actions, Germany was fooled by the British rhetoric. Sheffield had such a strong sense of justice that he certainly didn't want to see this happen.
But he couldn't explain where he got the news from, so that the Germans and even William II would believe him. So he had to find a heavyweight politician to add credibility to his words.
He once thought that he supported Alton Parker to change history but gained no benefits. Now he doesn't think so. The benefits will be realized soon. It is impossible for the current president to cooperate with the slave owners to frame the British. It doesn't matter, there is still the former president.
Sheffield also planned to add to this false intelligence that was more real than the real intelligence, the paragraphs that Britain secretly encouraged Belgium to fight against the Germans and that the Liege Fortress had already prepared for war. When the countries officially declared war a few days later, he would help Germany get a feel for the war as soon as possible.
