Chapter 122 Divide and eat
The monopoly of fruits and tropical vegetables is inevitable. With the support of a large number of Dixie farms and large plantation owners, the newly born United Fruit Company will only become stronger. Although Keen has become one of the shareholders from the leader, it may not necessarily be the case.
It cannot be more dazzling than history.
Because of the abundant funds, control over Central and South America may become faster. At least for now, in the minds of many shareholders, the small countries in Central and South America have become delicious cakes that can be cut as they wish. In the field of cultivation,
It will not be unfamiliar to anyone who stays in the United States or goes to Brazil.
The shareholders of the United Fruit Company not only exercise indirect control like Keane, but are also prepared to personally manage it. They trust no one as much as themselves. In name, everyone must be united, but internal competition is also inevitable. This kind of competition is natural
It will not be indulged, but controlled within a certain range.
"I don't want to worry about who grows bananas, vegetables, or pineapples. Competition is okay, but I can only accept internal competition. Don't go too far and let outside competitors get an advantage. Among agricultural and animal husbandry products, although fruits and vegetables
It's not the most important, but you can still make huge profits. Everyone has been doing this for decades, don't you need me to teach you how to do it?" In front of a huge long table, Sheffield was lying on the table with his chin on the table.
Previous post: "Save costs as much as possible. Of course, we must also support friends who are good to us and give up a certain amount of profits appropriately so that local friends who serve us can live well. Only then will they do their best to serve us."
.”
"Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Haiti, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, and even more small countries in the future. These small countries have little power, so we demand stability. My personal favorite is the dictator, military government and other models.
, This can ensure long-term stability. As for the relevant talents, I have already sent a telegram to Arlington. The black gold staff in Liberia will be back soon. They can be trusted in this regard."
In Sheffield's eyes, there is no distinction between superior and inferior political models. However, after a hundred years of history, as a senior keyboard warrior, he understands a very simple truth. Growing up under centralized power, he can recover from underestimation.
This is true for all countries at their peak. The Western European countries of Britain, France, and Germany a hundred years later are not as important as the Three Kingdoms in 1895 in terms of national status.
The republics and Soviets that broke out have nothing to do with democracy and freedom. Even Japan and South Korea are also fake democracies. They are essentially variants of the United States Consortium and have become their own plutocrats. The Liberal Democratic Party has been in power for decades, and South Korea has
During the long military government period, Park Chung-hee led the miracle of the Han River.
Thinking of South Korea, Sheffield had to sigh. The greatest opportunity for South Korea to get rid of plutocratic rule was actually the time of Park Chung-hee's rule. Although this man was a Korean traitor in his early years, he did lead his country to take off after becoming president. In his later years,
Park Chung-hee has begun to deal with the expansion of the chaebol. This is because he has been dictatorial in South Korea for a long time and has established an intelligence department specifically to obey him. In a sense, he has got rid of the interference of the US military stationed in South Korea.
Park Chung-hee is considered the most powerful figure among all the previous South Korean presidents. He was so powerful that the chaebols represented by Samsung had already surrendered and handed over most of their shares to the government. However, at this time he was assassinated. His assassin, Kim Jae-gyu, once said personally, "I
There is support from the Americans behind him.
Judging from what happened later, Park Chung-hee has a tendency to lead South Korea to independence. However, as a member of the United States, Sheffield naturally does not want to see this happen. But fortunately, there should be no powerful figures in these Central American countries.
Even if it happens, it won't be difficult to deal with it.
"The good thing about Central America is that there are many small countries there. We need to control both indirectly and directly to establish plantations to prevent stupid bastards from destabilizing these countries and to control the exports of these countries in our hands. You are in different countries
When establishing a plantation, once a problem arises in a certain country, we must immediately prevent the situation from spreading and provide as much help as possible to the country in question. This way we can jointly guarantee it, isn’t it strange?”
"Don't worry, it's just like when we jointly established a patrol team to deal with the underground railway." Gale nodded slightly, indicating that he was familiar with this field, "We have enough manpower and weapons in our hands to maintain the stability of these countries.
"
"Yes, it is the method our fathers used to deal with the Underground Railroad. All companies jointly acted to prevent the Yankees from coming over to steal. But this time the enemy is far from powerful. For some of our friends here, it was a defeat in the United States.
"We lost once in Brazil. If we can't even deal with these countries with big noses, we can't find any excuses." Sheffield sat up straight and clapped his hands and said, "We can be friends with the powerful people of these small countries, but
The powerful people in big countries are our enemies from beginning to end, because we cannot control them. If the powerful people in big countries sit for a long time, they will definitely find ways to become independent as time goes by. We cannot allow ourselves to be independent, and everything will be subject to our orders."
Keane later relied on the United Fruit Company and served as the king of banana republics for decades. Sheffield felt that he could do better. He had a lot of historical experience to draw on. Countries smaller than this size can do things with powerful people.
Friends, if you exceed this size, you must have democratic elections, and you cannot let any strong figure secure his seat.
"Gentlemen and ladies, look what is this?" John Connor, who had been away for a while, appeared pushing a huge cake. This cake was made according to the map of Central America. He put the big cake up and John Connor smiled.
He nodded and said, "Please use it slowly."
The huge cake looked very appetizing and made people salivate. Every shareholder present knew that this was not just a cake, but represented their foothold. Several good-looking maids appeared and distributed the tableware.
.
"My dearest friends, you all know that we are adjacent to a group of poor countries in the south. The bastards from these countries always want to sneak over. Don't be polite. Controlling these countries is also to protect our own homeland and protect our own homeland.
Hold it in your hand so you don't lose control. Don't be polite, please use it!" Sheffield was not polite at all. He directly cut out Cuba from the cake and said sympathetically, "It's the 20th century soon, America.
There are still Spanish colonies, which is simply a shame of the Monroe Doctrine."
