Chapter one hundred and forty-eight moving forward
If, as a benchmark for Dixie, his family gave the Democratic Party a blow at a critical moment, if this spread, it would definitely be a stain in the eyes of the citizens of the southern states, and it would simply disgrace the leader of the old regiment.
If he really does this, Sheffield should consider following his grandfather's example and looking for a place to move. But currently, looking at the entire United States, there seems to be no more suitable place than Texas.
Although California in later generations was the most economically powerful state in the United States and Texas was actually the second state in a thousand years, to be fair, the living environment in California was average and it was located in a volcanic and earthquake zone.
Although the populations of California and Texas are both growing in the 21st century, their origins are different. Normally, Texas and Mexico have a wide border, and they should have entered the era of white leftism earlier than California.
.But this is not actually the case. Why is this?
Because the source of the net inflow of population in the South, which originally belonged to the Confederate States, was actually domestic immigration. White people who couldn't stand the diversity of states controlled by the Democratic Party continued to immigrate to the South, especially Texas. This kind of domestic immigration
The net inflow is greater than the illegal immigration from Mexico that Texas faces, which is why Texas has always been a Republican stronghold.
This situation is like that of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. The first generation team in Shenzhen was actually drawn from the Northeast. They had no interest in the British colonial culture opposite. Unlike other places in Guangdong Province, which have similar colonial cultures.
, with a natural closeness, enabled Shenzhen to receive frontline support from the imperial capital and resist the spread of colonial culture throughout Guangdong Province.
This is how Texas will develop in the future, resisting the Latino invasion of the United States. So Sheffield knows this trend and has no idea of moving. Since he is planning to live in Texas for a long time, he must
Stand firm.
No matter what William McKinley said, he would not change his original intention as a Democratic Party donor.
William McKinley was actually laying the groundwork for the tariff issue. He had always known that the tariff dispute between the Democratic and Republican parties could be said to have lasted for several consecutive elections. In the Civil War, the two sides even turned over the table to fight to the death, and tariffs were an important factor in it.
, the United States has long been exporting agricultural and animal husbandry products, which is also the interest of southern plantation owners.
On the contrary, except for a few industrial products of the United States, almost none of them can compete with similar European products. Even now, if tariffs are not raised, citizens of the United States will still choose to buy European products.
It can be said that since William McKinley first entered politics, he faced various candidates from the Democratic Party, debating the tariff issue, from one conspicuous debate to one state. As expected, the tariff issue was discussed again this time.
One of the important purposes of coming to Edith Rockefeller's house in Chicago was the tariff issue. It would be even better to see Sheffield here, as he could explain this issue to both representatives from the North and the South at the same time.
Because the oil exports of Standard Oil are one of the few important export products of the United States among the industrial products that are sold around the world, not to mention agricultural and animal husbandry products. With the heirs of the big Texas landowners here, communication is even better.
William McKinley is still prepared to surrender without a fight and directly dismantle the man behind the Democratic Party. And he is still working hard to do so, explaining his thoughts endlessly.
Hmm... Sheffield let out a long yawn and said tiredly to William McKinley, "Dear Mr. William McKinley, you should first pay attention to the Republican primary issue. If you successfully pass the Republican primary
After the primary election, we can talk about the next issue. Isn’t it a little too anxious now?”
"Mr. William, Miss Edith, in fact, food and oil are necessities. Even if the tariffs are increased, potential buyers still exist, and the economic depression in the United States has passed. We can think of solutions from within." William
·McKinley gave his own opinion.
Perhaps many ordinary people cannot feel the call of "economic crisis", but for social elites like William McKinley, they will definitely have their own judgments. Otherwise, many such companies will not be able to survive economic crises one after another and survive to the greatest extent possible.
Use the economic crisis to replenish your health and make yourself stronger and more invulnerable to face the next economic crisis.
Where there is growth, there will be a decline. Now that the decline has passed, growth will inevitably come. Now is a very good opportunity. Compared with this opportunity, the tariff issue can indeed be said to be a minor problem.
Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller looked at each other and knew in their hearts that William McKinley was right.
"This makes you say, in fact, it is more appropriate to find a country to go to war with. There is no more exciting option than war to provide domestic demand." After listening to William McKinley's long speech, Sheffield felt that William McKinley should also be allowed to go to war.
Listen to your own thoughts.
Naturally, he also explained the Democratic Party's Manifest Destiny and the theory of promoting expansionism, which made Edith Rockefeller secretly roll her eyes and William McKinley frown. Democrats will never forget the war. In fact,
The current President Cleveland is already considered a very rare peace president, but he still adopts a resolution to expand the military. Isn't the current situation still satisfactory?
Of course he is not satisfied? Sheffield is now looking for high-quality land overseas, and Spain is right in front of his eyes. How can he be satisfied? Even if it is because of the geographical location, he has an advantage over the Yankees, he has not directly acquired the land.
It is more profitable to treat it as your own overseas estate.
"If you can start a war, I will fully support you and not give any support to the Democratic candidates." Sheffield's face was full of a kind smile. In the eyes of William McKinley, this kind smile was full of ferocity.
Terrible.
It wasn't until William McKinley left that Edith Rockefeller said softly, "You must have scared William McKinley just now. He looked at you as if he saw the devil. You were deliberately making excuses."
"That's not true. We should really find an excuse to start a war, otherwise things like the Venezuelan crisis will happen again." Sheffield shrugged, saying that's what he thought, "Just think that we Dixie people like war."
"You like war, are you a coward?" Edith Rockefeller glanced at Sheffield contemptuously, "I have a good way to test your courage."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Sheffield stood up and staggered back to the room. He had no time to make this woman happy.
Last year's crisis in Venezuela has actually ended. The British Empire accepted the proposal of the United States and will not infiltrate Venezuela. However, this is definitely not a face to the United States. Basically, the Boer problem in South Africa has intensified again. In the face of gold mines and Latin America,
The British chose a gold mine and were making secret preparations for it.
Just like the United States was eventually entangled in the Middle East and did not cause trouble with the Republic in a certain year. As a firm supporter of the Democrats, the Sheffield family naturally obtained their own interests through firm encouragement and support for the Democratic Party, but this
It has nothing to do with Sheffield.
It's very simple. At present, the business of agricultural and animal husbandry products and land sales is still in the hands of Lafayette. As his heir, he only does two things, take money from Lafayette, and then develop two important industries, agriculture, animal husbandry, and military industry.
Derivative industry. As the heir, he can decide how to build the house, but the land used is still in the hands of Lafayette.
As for Venezuela's interests, Lafayette naturally sent people to lay the foundation. Sheffield didn't have any opinions on this. He didn't understand it at home, so how could he have time to go abroad?
Sheffield took a bath hummingly and recited poems happily. If anyone were here, they would definitely be attracted by his rhythmic recitation. Two of the sentences are like this. Suka Bulie talks about it every day, in front of the White House.
Nuclear bombs went off, the Iron Curtain was hung, and nuclear attacks arrived in England in one night...
He came out of the bathroom so pleased with himself that he almost jumped up. Isn't the person sitting on the bed looking at him Edith Rockefeller? "How did you get in?" Sheffield's voice changed...
"It's so funny. This is my house, and I can't get into my room?" Edith Rockefeller hooked her finger around the key and shook it twice. She stared at Sheffield's body and said inexplicably, "Capital"
That’s right, you can’t tell if he is so big at such a young age, he will definitely cause trouble to little girls in the future!”
Sheffield looked around and blurted out, "Where are my clothes!"
"I've asked someone to wash it. You are also a guest after all, so I should do this for you!" Edith Rockefeller stood up slowly, her clothes falling to the ground one by one, and approaching Sheffield,
A pair of eyes flashed with a strange color, and he gritted his silver teeth and said, "She pretends to be quite similar, but she is still a man."
"Wait, where is my bodyguard! I am underage, Edith, you are a married woman!" Sheffield swallowed, seeing the young woman's clothes reduced, he had to remind her, but he did not dare to shout.
"You become an adult today!" Edith grabbed Sheffield, pushed him onto the bed, and pressed him on top of her. "Also, I just got divorced, so throw away the morals in your mind. I will let you
Pretending to be an ascetic in front of me..."
The next morning, a tired Edith Rockefeller woke up leisurely, looked at Sheffield who was smoking a cigar and said, "What's wrong?"
