Chapter 166 The New Storm

In later generations, the public land of the United States occupied one-third. Even if the land owned by the state government is included, it would not be too much. However, private land is mainly concentrated in the eastern region of the United States, while public land of the United States is mainly concentrated in the Great West. In

In this era, considering the current population density, there will only be more public land in California. It can even be said that most of the land is public land.

That’s why Sheffield dared to speak up and asked Harvey to help him plan the purchase of land. Mainly because there are more public lands in the western states than private lands. You must know that the three states on the Pacific coast together have a population of only about two million.

, and it doesn’t occupy much land, so the maneuverability of this matter is still very high.

However, Sheffield is not prepared to take up all the land by himself, and he cannot do this. Previously, the land acquired by Ellie was mainly concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area and around Los Angeles. Now Sheffield also wants to add the Gulf of California to the

The land of the United States, as far as he knew, seemed to be an important oil producing area in California.

Out of multiple considerations, Sheffield decided to rope in people like McHale and Gale to share the risks. After these partners returned from Brazil, they naturally started their own businesses. United Fruit Company was one of the results.

However, after leaving for so many years, the domestic environment in the United States is different from before. Not everyone has chosen to hand over the plantation to the Sheffield family, leaving a way out. Many families have sold their original plantation groups.

, the population in the south has also increased in the past few decades, and a lot of land cannot be recovered.

If the land along the Mexican border is taken, the most trustworthy people are naturally the brothers who were in the trenches. So on the one hand, the heirs asked the shameless official Lafayette for money, and on the other hand, they sent a telegram to keep these things near New Orleans.

My friends, hurry up and come to the west to join the great development of the west.

At this time, Sheffield was basking in the sun on a lounge chair. He had to admit that the climate in California seemed to be so much better than that in Texas. It was just right for this season. He put down his copy of the Los Angeles Times. The latest article from the Los Angeles Times

The main topic is, of course, the issue of illegal immigration.

However, the main focus is on the neighboring Mexicans, which is to prepare for greater xenophobia in public opinion. Although I don’t know the final result, Sheffield is indeed working hard to shape California into the second Texas.

Si. What's wrong with red necks? A country needs more red necks, not idiots who can't tell the difference between friends and foes.

The Los Angeles Times aside, it prominently mentioned the threat of illegal immigrants from Mexico and expressed concerns about these illegal immigrants. It made alarmist speculation that if the number of immigrants increased, would the territory of the United States be once again occupied?

Mexico takes it back?

Another report, through the drowning death of a San Francisco citizen named Coney, reminded citizens to pay attention to safety when traveling. This piece of news reflects the Los Angeles Times' concern for citizens, but it fell into the eyes of some caring people.

, is a very explosive warning.

Kony was an anti-foreign worker leader at the time, but after a few years of popularity, he eventually fell into obscurity. However, the general public can forget about this person, and I believe that the California Workers Party will not forget about this person. In addition to excluding Chinese workers,

This labor leader was still very unfriendly to capitalists. Sheffield believed that in the end, this person did not make any political achievements. It must be because of some early remarks against elite capitalists that prevented him from playing a greater role.

Although it is a little late to settle accounts after the fall, Sheffield can also use this man's life to warn some latecomers not to talk nonsense. It is your freedom to insult the federal government, but you cannot point your nose at the ruler of the country.

I believe that more working class leaders now should know about the drowning of Kony and make the right choice. Compared with the hasty ending at the police station, it is said that this is a normal accident. Some workers' representatives who have met should

Understand how to get along with capitalists in the future. After all, Arkham Asylum has almost been built. If Sheffield hadn't treated these marginalized groups of society in the first place, anything unexpected could have happened.

"Ah..." With a long yawn, Sheffield stretched, slowly stood up and looked at the Chinese workers who were leveling the land in the distance. He was quite satisfied with the current progress.

Although the Chinese workers are illegal immigrants, Sheffield, as an elite in the United States, is indeed breaking the law, but breaking the law requires the ability to break the law. Is it possible for ordinary people to trample on the law? He just did it a hundred years in advance.

After getting rid of his fatigue, Sheffield put his hands in his trouser pockets and praised John Connor, "Well done, sometimes I just hate these bastards. Obviously, we decent citizens haven't said anything yet, these illegal immigrants who have just been cleared

, always make decisions on our behalf, but this way I can also do the opposite. Mexican illegal immigrants accuse Chinese workers of diverting conflicts, and this time I can also use Chinese workers to block their cross-border route."

"Boss, these Chinese workers are really hard-working!" John Connor was not from California, so naturally he had no obvious objection to these Chinese workers. Or, to be more precise, there were too many groups that were disgusted, and the Chinese workers were just one of them.

"Indeed, how else can we use them?" A hint of complexity flashed in Sheffield's eyes, and he said, "There are also Japan, North Korea, and Vietnam. People in these countries have a kind of willpower, which is far more powerful than other countries.

Ethnic group. Aren’t they as easy to deal with as black people?”

During lunch time, all the employees were eating, and Sheffield was no exception. As a boss who could show his tolerance, he even chatted with Zhang Deqing, knowing that this restaurant owner who could read and write was an old cousin from Jiangxi. He also once

I tried to get the honors, but I didn't even pass the exam.

In fact, Sheffield doesn't have a very good impression of Jiangxi Laobiao, because it is an old revolutionary area, but it seems to have no effect. The mentality of favoring boys over girls is serious, and the bride price is also the target of complaints from netizens in later generations of the Republic. I don't know how it turned out to be like this.

"Boss, actually we just want a stable life, why are we being excluded?" Zhang Deqing felt that Sheffield didn't seem as exclusive as ordinary white people, so he said a few more words.

"Would you be happy if one-tenth or more of the population in your hometown is from an ethnic group you have never seen before?" Sheffield asked calmly, "According to your words, people who are not my ethnic group,

Their hearts must be different. This country will never treat you as one of its own. Even if it does not use laws to restrict you in the future, there are many other ways. In the end, you people in the United States will not be able to please both sides, so I suggest that you

After working here for a few years, I still have to find a way to return to my own country, which is good for you and me."

"But don't black people come from other places?" Zhang Deqing looked a little embarrassed, and seemed to feel that he talked too much and should work honestly.

"Black people have been slaves to us for nearly a hundred years. Can you represent your ethnic group and become slaves to me? You'd better not represent it. The hometown of black people has been invaded by various countries." Sheffield looked at Zhang Deqing deeply.

He said with one glance.

The conversation between the two was overheard by other Chinese workers, and all of them remained silent. One person couldn't help but ask, "Are the freedoms and equality in the United States fake? I don't think the United States is like our bad neighbor in the north.

.”

"Haha! Are you talking about Russia?" Sheffield looked at the young Chinese worker who spoke, and said with restrained smile, "If you were Mexican, you wouldn't think so. If your country's neighbor is the United States, now the Great Wall is

The northern capital has been annexed, because that's how Mexico is treated."

The United States' attack on Mexico was to open the way for illegal immigrants. At that time, it was at the cusp of the Industrial Revolution. The country was desperately engaged in industrial construction and there was an urgent shortage of land resources. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Mexico, it launched a large-scale westward movement.

Texas is a vast and sparsely populated state, and the Mexican government has also relaxed its immigration policy.

As a large number of American citizens opened up the wilderness and built factories in the West, the relationship between the United States and the Mexican government became tense and conflicts continued. Later, it successfully encouraged a local slave owner to establish the Lone Star Republic and secede from Mexico. Mexico quickly suppressed it, and the United States intervened

, watched Texas become independent. As Texas was annexed by the United States, the second round of war began.

After speaking, Sheffield shook his head and left. These people are too naive. What are they thinking? According to the ratio of the territory cut off by Mexico, it is equivalent to more than half of the territory. The Russian Empire cannot compare to the United States in terms of ruthlessness.

You actually want to be a neighbor of the United States? The United States has a much better appetite than Russia. It swallowed up more than half of Mexico in one war, which is equivalent to losing all north of the Great Wall in one war.

With the farm land cleared, Sheffield began to officially dominate the mountain in California. He continued to send telegrams to report on the progress, while waiting for approval from the California government. The Coca-Cola factory and glass factory were also being built, and everything seemed to be going well.

It's developing in a good direction.

While everything seems to be going well, a new wave of xenophobia is brewing in California. The Los Angeles Times is reporting on the increasing number of illegal Mexican immigrants at the border, and the California Workers Party, which has been reduced to the role of the Ku Klux Klan, is also using its own energy

, prepare to hold back your ultimate move and brew a new storm.
