Chapter 16 I'm Patriotic Too

From Annabel's point of view, the economic depression is definitely a good time. The reason why the economic depression is difficult for ordinary people is that for ordinary people, if you cannot benefit from the economic depression, that means you are not rich enough.

Under the economic depression, bonds collapsed, gold was lost, factories closed down, and a large number of workers lost their jobs. Therefore, the vast majority of people will not benefit. But no matter what, whether the economy is good or not, people have to eat, and agricultural and animal husbandry products,

When an economic crisis comes, and another crisis occurs, people will always need agricultural products every day. Therefore, industrial products will have a deflationary environment, but agricultural products will not be affected in any way.

Even if it has an impact, they can raise prices through control measures and pass their losses on to others. Of course, ordinary farmers cannot do this because their land and resources do not have the ability. But Annabel feels that she can do it.

There are very few people who dare to carry out reverse operations at this time, and not many people can do it, because this requires a large amount of funds and the ability to judge the bottom of the crisis in advance. In fact, only when there is danger is there an opportunity.

Without great danger, you will never get your chance in life.

"I believe that the federal government has the ability to solve this problem. If it doesn't work, can we ask for a loan from London? However, if the channels of Morgan and DuPont are not easy to use, I also have some friends in London and Paris." Annabelle's face remained unchanged, and she was not interested in the so-called economy.

The depression didn't care at all, and his condescending attitude made the other congressmen very envious...

"Compared to the domestic economic fluctuations, it seems that the two parties have been quarreling recently. I don't believe those bastards in the Republican Party dare to go to war with Britain. They know that Cleveland strictly adheres to isolationism, and it is just a fuss." Annabell just mentioned it.

Due to the economic depression, I began to ask Washington what it thought of the situation in the Caribbean.

"Can the Republican Party also fight wars? From the history of the United States to the present, which war has been led by them? It is not the struggle of us Democrats that makes the United States what it is today." The man sitting next to Anderson stroked his thick beard with his hand.

He said dismissively, "Before the Civil War, the Republican Party was just a local party, so they had no right to speak."

"The Whig Party has been disbanded a long time ago. Don't always push it forward." Anderson frowned slightly and said to stop, then looked at Annabel and explained softly, "There are indeed many people in Congress who think that it should be like the British

Show our attitude."

"Why? With the 30,000 troops of the United States?" Annabel chuckled and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you bringing up the armaments first and then thinking about demonstrations? In the past few decades, when has Gay Yang been like this?

Be brave, why is it so difficult for the Rifle Association to work on Yankee territory? What does the territory of the United States today have to do with them? They voted for it?"

After making her usual mockery of gay Yang and the Republican Party, Annabell thought silently for a moment, shook her head slightly and said, "But those British hypocrites have indeed gone too far. They must give the United States some space and interfere in everything. It's really embarrassing.

People can’t stand it.”

The relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom has always been on a smile, especially in recent years. However, this is not because the United States is actively causing trouble, but because the British Empire's presence in Latin America is getting stronger and stronger.

The UK's previous main forces were in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile and other countries, as well as Venezuela, Colombia and other northernmost countries in South America. Although they had important influence, they could not be said to have a leading role. Therefore, starting from the 1980s, the UK has increased its influence

Penetration efforts into this region. At the same time, in the 1980s, efforts began to be made in the Caribbean and Mexico, especially in the Caribbean countries.

Two years ago, Britain established a military base on Antigua as a basis for gradually occupying the Caribbean. This is the British Northbound Plan.

To put it bluntly, although President Monroe declared that America is the America of America as early as 70 years ago, until now, the Monroe Doctrine has almost no sense of existence in the eyes of European countries, and his declaration is equivalent to

Fart. It’s just something American farts enjoy themselves. Just shout it in your country and no one will really take it seriously.

The most important means for countries to safeguard national interests and strive for international status is war, and the most important tool is the army. In the era of the Monroe Doctrine, the United States had less than 10,000 troops. Now the situation is a little better, but there are only 30,000 troops.

On paper, the United States' army is not as threatening as Italy's. The navy and army combined are only one-tenth of the British army.

The problem is that this time Britain's northward plan has aroused the alarm of Venezuela. This is how small countries face this situation. There is no good choice for Venezuela, only a very bad one and a not-so-bad one. Hasn't the United States always advocated that the Americas are

If America belongs to Americans, then drive the British out.

"The attitude of the United States must be made clear!" Anderson is also a force in the Democratic Party that advocates demonstrations against the British. "Venezuela has given us benefits, and if we do not express it, the consequences will be extremely serious."

"What interests? Tell me something specific!" Annabel nodded slightly and continued. As for what America is for Americans, she didn't care. It had nothing to do with her family. But for interests, let's listen first.

"Madam, it's the land in the lower delta of the Orinoco River. Venezuela is going to lease it to us." Anderson lowered his voice, "This is the news I learned from the Venezuelan Embassy."

"Well!" Annabel's eyelids rolled slightly, a look of thinking flashed on her face, she turned around and shouted outside, "Bring the map here!"

Not long after, Annabel, who was wearing glasses, said to several guests, "President Monroe is right, America is the America of Americans!" The Orinoco River plain seems to be a good land for agriculture and animal husbandry.

It is also very close to Guyana and can also be used as a place to build a factory. Now is the time when the Democratic Party is in power. If they can frighten the British, the Sheffield family will definitely gain a lot from it.

If the British were not frightened and were humiliated, it would have nothing to do with the Sheffield family. Anyway, the domestic economy is not good now, and the chances of the Democratic Party wanting to be re-elected are very small, so it is better to take advantage of it before stepping down.

"I knew Madam must be on our side. I will contact other congressmen when I get back and raise a protest against the British with the President." Anderson said overjoyed as soon as he heard Annabelle's statement.

"The Sheffield family has always been patriotic!" Annabelle stood up calmly, walked to the window and looked at the flagpole not far away, where the Southern Cross flag was still fluttering in the wind.

After a few people left, Annabell picked up the phone and said, "In the name of the Texas Farmers and Cattlemen's Association, notify the Southern States Associations of New Mexico, Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana by telegram
