Walking on the streets of Athens, everyone you see, both men and women, is smiling. There are only a few days until the opening of the Olympic Games. As a new country that has just become independent from the Ottoman Empire, the residents of Greece are very excited about this country.

It was particularly respected in the grand ceremonies of the ancient Greek period.

Moreover, the marathon race originated from the victory of the ancient Greek coalition forces against the Persian army. Considering the relationship between Greece and the Ottoman Empire, it has a different political meaning in the hearts of ordinary people, and has a new level of understanding for the upcoming Olympic Games.

Big expectations.

Sheffield has just arrived in Greece in a hurry. In fact, this Olympic Games is somewhat different from the previous one. As an Olympic director, Sheffield must at least make some contributions to the international event. For example, bring out a little bit of America.

Countries are participating, including Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and other countries that are joining the race.

Red flowers should also be paired with green leaves. Let the athletes from these countries lose a little more to show our wisdom and prowess. Who doesn't want to watch the athletes from their own country soar? As for how embarrassing the competitors from other countries are, they should be like this.

It's embarrassing, and it's only suitable to set off the protagonist.

Perhaps because of the increase in participation from American countries, this Olympic Games has a more international flavor compared to the one in parallel time and space. This also allowed the small Greek Kingdom to experience a little bit of the feeling of having all nations come to visit.

Pretending to be modest and polite.

"If these Greeks want to know about another important purpose of mine? Will they fall out on the spot?" Sheffield, who had just been talking nonsense to a young Greek lady, still had a smile on his face, turned around and boarded the carriage.

, came to a Mediterranean-style loft, where guests were waiting.

Evelin mustered up the energy to move her head away from Sheffield's shoulder. There was still a bit of fatigue on her handsome face. The long-distance life at sea was also a torment for her, a lady who had never been abroad.

"Are you still feeling unwell? How about..." After swallowing the words of drinking some hot water, Sheffield comforted Evelin gently, "Let's take a rest first when we get to the place."

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm not feeling well these days." Evelin said shyly, apologizing for her inability to live up to her salary.

"It's okay!" Sheffield sighed inwardly. It was indeed quite inconvenient. I originally wanted to experience the boss's treatment at sea but thought it was too hasty. I wanted to cook the raw rice after landing ashore, but I happened to catch up with him.

It's inconvenient. You said you could just open your legs early. If you have to think so much, would it be inconvenient to finish things early?

Of course, if you do this, it may bring about another inconvenient consequence, but won’t it show up after a few months? By then, he has returned to China, what else will happen? Looking forward and backward will bring such a bad consequence, thank you

Field made up his mind that he would never fall into the second pit twice again.

Nodding to the welcoming servants and asking his bodyguard and secretary to wait downstairs, Sheffield walked straight up the stairs to the second floor with the windows open.

"Dear William Pasha, it's so nice to see you!" A man who didn't look any different from the Greeks in appearance. When he saw Sheffield arriving, he extended his hand very happily, full of joy.

Shi Yuan Ying's apology, politeness and respect coexist.

"How are you, Grand Vizier?" Sheffield also smiled. Although it was the first time they met, they seemed to have known each other for a long time, and there was no unfamiliarity at all.

"Very well, the Grand Vizier ordered me to convey my respect to William Pasha and express my admiration for Pasha's grandfather's good relationship with the empire until now." Ayoubayan nodded repeatedly and greeted with Ottoman etiquette.

Sheffield was not surprised at all that this Ottoman could hide among the Greek groups. The so-called Ottomans in the Ottoman Empire were only culturally Turks. They were not Turks in Chinese history. Turks were a very broad concept.

There are ethnic groups as large as the Caucasus to the Mongolian Plateau. The place where the Ottomans started is outside the sight of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, there are no rumors that they were suppressed by the Tang Dynasty and moved westward.

And in terms of blood, there is not much difference between the ethnic genes of the Turks of later generations and the local people of the Eastern Mediterranean. The Ottoman population, which originated from the Turks, has long been devoured. As long as a Turk can speak Greek, he can win over anyone as soon as he takes off his clothes.

Can't recognize it.

Just like the Mongols, the Mongolian language is of the same lineage as the Xianbei, but when comparing genes and comparing them with the tombs dug during the Xiongnu period, the chromosomes are not much different. They can be considered to be descendants of the Huns.

"The Grand Vizier also wants to invite Pasha to sit in Istanbul." Ayoubayan smiled cautiously and expressed the greetings of the Ottoman Grand Prime Minister.

"If I have time, I will definitely go." Sheffield nodded and agreed, "United Company has always attached great importance to its friendship with Osman, and this has been verified by time."

When the Sheffield family interacted with the Ottoman Grand Vizier, they adhered to the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. In fact, they did not have this strength. If a company wanted to interfere with the prime minister of another country, it was beyond the capabilities of the joint company. What's more, now

The United States of America is a younger brother among the imperialist powers, and it has just been humiliated by the British Empire.

If Great Britain hadn't set its sights on South Africa, the United States would still be hanging in mid-air by Great Britain, and it would be quite uncomfortable to be dissatisfied with its desires. It would be better to have Great Britain press it to the ground and rub it hard to feel more comfortable.

The status of the United States of America in the eyes of Britain, France, and Germany may not be as good as the current Ottoman Empire. After all, its ancestors were richer. At its peak, it defeated Europe, Asia, and Africa, and almost forced European countries to death. It has formed a semi-encirclement. If Portugal and Spain hadn't opened up new territories.

route, found the New World and absorbed energy to turn defeat into victory. Maybe the outcome of the two religions has already been decided.

It is basically impossible for the United States to do anything against the Ottomans. Moreover, the Grand Vizier is replaced too frequently. The old imperialists are all very close to the Ottomans, and the United States cannot squeeze in.

While the entire Greek population was preparing for the Olympic Games, a guest who had traveled all the way across the Atlantic was chatting and laughing with their feud, bursting into bursts of laughter from time to time.

Persian carpets, Iraqi handmade products, there are many other things that can be talked about. The Balkan War is still far away, and the current Ottoman Empire’s legacy is still quite rich. Many territories, whether nominally or actually controlled, are under the Ottoman control

in hand.

There are still many things that Sheffield can talk about with each other. Just like compared with Britain, France and Germany, the United States is a younger brother, but when facing Spain, Italy, etc., it is not impossible to go up and make comparisons.

This is also to find a way out for the company's operations. If the Republican Party comes to power in the general election, high tariffs will inevitably come, because the United States is rich in resources and has the conditions to do things behind closed doors. It is not a small country with territory that wants to use high tariffs because the resources are not enough to support development.

, almost tantamount to suicide.

But this is not necessarily good for the Sheffield family. When the cage is closed, everyone will fight with each other and it will be bloody. He must find a gap to breathe. Osman, a thing that has become a thing of the past, has value now. In fact, the family

For the smuggling industry, an important transit point in Europe was the Ottoman Empire.

At present, the Ottoman Empire is in an obvious decline, and its relations with Europe are definitely unfavorable. It is impossible to protect national industries with high tariffs. We can borrow from the Ottomans and reduce similar tariffs.

Sheffield knew that this move was similar to the later Republic's operation of dumping steel into the United States through Vietnam. Therefore, contacting the Ottoman Grand Vizier's confidants was an early preparation for the upcoming unknown, just in case it came into use.

He did not come out to do nothing. He was also preparing to talk to Osman, who was also oppressed by imperialism, for the development of the company. The result of this negotiation was satisfactory.

"I don't know, do you still need Pasha? Labor to enrich the construction of the farm?" Ayobayan mentioned another question and looked at Sheffield with expectant eyes.

Sheffield looked solemn. He didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to mention this issue, so he calmly asked, "What is the origin of your clan?"

"Armenians? This is a good thing for us. These Armenians are not subject to the rule of the empire, and they are more in line with the environment of the United States. If we don't want Armenians, just like before, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania will do." Ayobayan

He lowered his voice and said, "Greek people are also good. The men can be used for work, and the women are also very beautiful."

"Well, you can't say that? Immigration has driven the development of the United States. If people immigrate voluntarily, we in the United States cannot exclude them!" Sheffield said dryly and cryptically. He turned around and forgot about the anti-foreign wave he led. "

Well, for the sake of friendship with the Grand Vizier, I reluctantly accepted it. The number of people should not exceed 30,000 within a year, and they must be twenty to thirty years old, and there are slightly more women than men."

"The Pasha has helped the Grand Vizier again this time. Don't worry, we will definitely make a good transit point. The tariffs between the Ottomans and the United States have never been high!" Ayoubayan breathed a sigh of relief. He finally completed the mission of the big shot.

of entrustment.

"What kind of pasha am I? I don't even have a piece of land. Even a county is all yellow sand." Sheffield sighed and said, "Speaking of which, our family has a good relationship with all the great viziers of the past.

Since the Grand Vizier never refuses his request, why can’t he be more practical? Wouldn’t it be great if our transit station in the Persian Gulf is run by my family?”

"Kuwait? I am willing to propose to the grand vizier for the pasha." Ayoubayan immediately promised.
Chapter completed!
