Chapter 112 Personal Threats
William Bryan is a very famous figure. He ran for president three times without success. He was as miserable as the descendant of the Rockefeller family. He finally pushed the United States to adopt universal suffrage for senators, collect income taxes, establish the Department of Labor, prohibit alcohol and women's suffrage.
and played a role in other reforms. Throughout his experience, his Midwestern origins made him obviously support the interests of farmers and oppose the interests of the eastern part of the city.
"What do I care about? You should know the relationship between your family and the Democratic Party, and don't sow discord between us." Sheffield leaned back with a smile, then straightened his back and said seriously, "What does he stand for?"
"He annoys us every day by blaming the giants of oil, steel, and railways. He also said that labor rights should be guaranteed!" Edith Rockefeller gritted her teeth and cursed fiercely. She glanced at Sheffield and found that they were doing nothing at all.
Impressed, he stamped his feet angrily and said, "What do you care about...0"
Hiss... Sheffield trembled as if having a convulsion, and said unbearably, "What does this have to do with me? My family is farming, and they want to protect the interests of farmers. Am I not a farmer? Even if I want to build a business now
There are several factories, but most of the family still relies on farming. There are also tariff issues and a series of measures. What should I control and how should I control them?"
"Are you considered a farmer? Even if you are farming, this person will not harm your interests?" Edith Rockefeller was about to take action, but Sheffield dodged her and continued reluctantly, "What about the labor law? He
If we come to power to implement labor laws, of course we will suffer losses, but won’t you lose nothing?”
It sounds like this is the case. It seems that Sheffield should do something about William Bryan for the sake of class unity. What Edith Rockefeller said makes sense.
But after some consideration, Sheffield felt that William Bryan's ideas had limited impact on his own family. At this time, he could see the benefits of running a prison. In this era, Texas was the only private prison in the entire United States.
.Sheffield is not in a hurry at all and is planning to use this labor force to build homes.
In addition, if it develops on the West Coast in the future, Sheffield will definitely use illegal immigrants, which have nothing to do with citizens of the United States, to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Even if the labor law is passed, it will not cover illegal immigrants. As for the North
The factory is completely a plantation model where black people work and white people hold guns.
So after thinking about it, Sheffield didn't think of why he wanted to do anything to William Bryan. If this man came to power, he would have limited impact on his own family, but on the contrary, he could impact many industrial giants. Wouldn't that be great?
Unknowingly, Sheffield had a cigar in his mouth. This move made Edith Rockefeller frown and say, "Hey!"
"Sorry, I didn't know you had this hobby!" He took out another cigarette and put it on Edith Rockefeller's red lips, not forgetting to mutter, "Why does a woman smoke? It's not good for the body.
good!"
"That's not what I meant!" Edith Rockefeller shook her head like a rattle, "It's the Democratic Party's business."
"This thing doesn't seem difficult, right? The primaries haven't even started yet. How do you know he will definitely be able to compete for the president? Besides, you can fund Republican candidates. It's not like you have done it before. Spend more money to control public opinion.
." Sheffield said indifferently, "It really doesn't work. Look at how Lincoln died. There are many people who risk their lives for money. When the time comes, we will kill the donkey and kill the murderer directly in the police station. Who knows what ordinary people are doing?
Come on, please taste what I said."
It seems like this is the truth? Edith Rockefeller frowned slightly and fell into thinking. Did everyone else make a fuss about it? After thinking for a long time, she suddenly said, "You are such a bad guy. By then it will be too late.
Even if he becomes president, you can still kill him. The successor as vice president is still a Democrat. No matter what, your family will not lose. The risk must be borne by others. Today you must give me an answer. It is best to prevent him from passing the primary election.
.”
It’s so hard for me. I can’t even deceive a woman now. Sheffield sighed heavily. How come women in this era are so smart? Can they actually see the plans that their own genius brains have come up with? That’s right, he still just
This is really what it means. After the vice president takes over, he will still be a Democrat. As the main donor, he can live a free and easy life.
Edith Rockefeller and the giants behind her hoped that Sheffield would help prevent this troublemaker from passing the Democratic primary. Sheffield thought exactly the opposite. He believed that there was no way to do it except to find a killer. Now the giants of the United States
The competition is fierce, and citizens are not stupid. Of course they hope to change the status quo.
Putting aside the problems on the Republican side, the Democratic Party was originally supposed to focus on agriculture, just like the Republican base in later generations. Sheffield hoped that the Yankees in the north would help him solve the problem. These Yankees were so bad that they
I hope I can take risks and help them solve their problems. Why?
Just because Edith Rockefeller came to visit in person? Did anything happen between the two of them? Even if it happened, they couldn't agree on this matter.
"You dollar-minded Yankees always take advantage of us simple farmers. What good does this do to me?" Sheffield curled his lips and babbled. "It really hurts to stand and talk."
"Are you considered honest? You touched me the first time we met! What benefits do you want? Tell me and I'll listen!" Edith Rockefeller retorted, but she also knew that Sheffield would definitely not do it in vain.
"Can you please stop mentioning me touching you? I didn't know who you were at the time. If your brother hadn't led me the wrong way, I would have gone to the women's bathroom? This is all John's fault. Don't worry about me.
What's the matter?" Sheffield said confidently and with the arrogance of who are you to pull up your pants?
"I'll beat you to death!" Almost at the same time as Edith Rockefeller threatened, McHale had already walked in halfway, still maintaining the posture of pushing the door in. He was stunned for two seconds, cleared his throat and said
, "You guys are busy, I don't have anything important to do, it's just that my friend over there in the United States has something to do."
After speaking, McHale nodded politely and closed the door carefully, leaving the two of them looking at each other.
"The United States?" Edith Rockefeller listened to these meaningless words and said with a slight curl of the corner of her mouth, "He talks so strangely."
"Brazil...United States of Brazil!" Sheffield stared straight at Edith Rockefeller and said word by word. In this era, Brazil had not changed its name, and the United States of Brazil was the official name of Brazil. But looking at Edith Rockefeller,
