Sheffield is not prepared to sign any friendship treaty with the Ottoman Empire government on behalf of the United States. He has always known that the United States advocates equal sharing of interests, which is to follow Britain and France to eat scraps. If there is a matter of great interest, Britain and France will sell out the United States.

There is no psychological burden either.

Furthermore, doing this will be of great benefit to the United States, but it is not necessarily beneficial to his own company. Sheffield's image as a patriotic businessman is limited to being able to fight with the wind and don't even think about taking chestnuts from the fire for the country.

If there is a formal treaty or something, it will definitely have to go through the Ottoman noble class Askari, so there will be more people involved, and it will not be a problem that can be solved by just the Grand Vizier.

In the Ottoman Empire, the central system consisted of the Sultan and his family, the Ottoman royal family. The Ottoman royal family was assisted by the Diwan, who consisted of the Grand Vizier and the ruling class. The ruling class was called the Askari, including the nobility, the court

personnel, military officers and religious figures, namely imams.

Since Murad IV in the 17th century, the Ottoman Sultan no longer managed Diwan. Askari, including Diwan, was all managed by the grand vizier, the prime minister.

Because the sultans in the early Ottoman period traditionally had to kill all their competitors before they could ascend to the throne, the early Ottoman Empire was under the cooperative rule of a wise king and a vizier. There were both wise kings and grand viziers to manage the daily system.

Very advanced, but in the end I still knelt down.

Sheffield prefers to solve problems face to face, such as later generations of real estate businessmen facing Japan alone and South Korea alone, defeating them one by one, rather than facing the entire ASEAN and EU at the same time.

The purchase of land near Kuwait in the name of a private company does not need to be so eye-catching. After all, he is a long-term collaborator of the Ottoman Empire. He has the title of Pasha on his head. If he wants a piece of land, he should buy it with his own money. What do you think?

It’s not an exaggeration, although Kuwait’s strategic position seems to be a little more important.

Today's Kuwait is nominally a county in the Basra Province of the Ottoman Empire. In fact, the British have been interested in this place because of its important geographical location. However, they have not officially taken action. They do not represent the official United States, but purchase local land in private names.

, and also to avoid becoming a vortex between the United States and the British Empire.

Ayobayan understood what Sheffield meant. If it is a private purchase, it is indeed a good way to avoid trouble. In fact, even the Grand Vizier is not willing to offend the British too much. Everyone knows the British Empire.

It is the hegemon of the world. If the land is sold by signing a contract with a private company, the nominal sovereignty will still belong to the Ottomans, which will be much better.

"I heard that the Arabs have feelings for the great Sultan. I can also help the imperial government in this matter. I am worthy of the title of Pasha!" Sheffield added another weight to the scale. The country has national tasks, but

There are private figures just like private persons. Who said that no one would dare to do anything to the British secretly? Is it true that the tens of millions of British citizens cannot touch even one of them? It makes no sense!

As for the various Christians who were dissatisfied with the Ottomans, the reason why they were trafficked was because before the Civil War, the population of the South was too disadvantaged, and Sheffield's troubled grandfather wanted to find some people to close the gap. The Texas

This is how the population comes about.

Sheffield United Company no longer engages in labor transfer transactions, but successive Grand Viziers have always regarded this early cooperation as a routine means of private wealth.

After all, Sheffield United paid for its population. Although due to international tensions, the United States' xenophobia and other factors, the price of a person in the smuggling business has dropped to twenty dollars, which is almost the same as a month's salary of a United States citizen now. But once

With a scale of 30,000 people per year, it can still bring an income of 600,000 US dollars to the Grand Vizier.

For Osman, this always has a stabilizing effect that is better than nothing. Sheffield originally did not want to get involved in this kind of business, because in his opinion, he is no different than an agency that introduces Vietnamese brides to the Republic.

He wanted to refuse, but when he heard that they were Armenians, Sheffield hesitated. The Armenians seemed to have been brutally dealt with by the Ottoman army during World War I, and more than a million people died in mysterious circumstances.

So I proposed that Ayoubayan report to the Grand Vizier and let his company be responsible for the operation of the transit station in Kuwait. In addition to its important geographical location, Kuwait is really a place with only yellow sand and fishermen. However, the local area is indeed

There is a British military establishment there.

"William Pasha, how long will you stay in Athens, and when will I contact you?" Ayoubayan sent Sheffield downstairs, and when he saw a group of people about to leave, he asked quickly.

"Jesra, give him our address." Sheffield took the top hat and ordered to the bodyguard on the side. John Connor took another team to Spain, so he was not with him.

This Olympic Games has already started four months later than in history, starting in August. This is because of the participation of ten American countries. As a director of the International Olympic Committee, Sheffield has also made its own contribution.

Although in addition to the United States of America, there are some Honduras, Panama, and Venezuela, which has just been humiliated by the British and got rid of the embarrassment. This is already a big guy.

In the peaceful parallel time and space, American college students raised their own funds and participated in their own names. Because of Sheffield's participation, the American team this time still did not receive a dollar from the federal government, but at any rate they were able to live without worries. Sheffield was expelled and entered.

The prize money from the medal table motivates these athletes who did not finish the competition all year round.

He even just helped an athlete solve a problem with the Greek police. I don’t know if this athlete had a sudden brain attack, but he actually learned from the US military a hundred years later and contributed to the prostitution industry in Greece. If he hadn’t looked at him

The results are not bad, and it is easier to get hold of them if they have the leverage. Sheffield will definitely eradicate the scum for the country.

The extra four months certainly allowed Greece to be more prepared, and because the ten American countries traveled thousands of miles to come, it seemed to have an even greater sense of honor. On the day of the opening ceremony on August 6, the entire stadium was packed

It was full, with nearly 100,000 people pouring into the stadium.

After a solemn classical string music, King George I of Greece came to the scene in person. As the host, he expressed a warm welcome to the guests and players from all over the world. At the opening ceremony, he praised Coubertin for his efforts in creating the modern Olympic Games and expressed his sincere gratitude to the Olympic Games.

Coubertin, the founder, expressed his deep respect. He also said: "May the revival of the Olympic Games enhance the fraternity between the Greek people and people of all countries; may sports and its moral concepts help create a new generation of Greeks,

So as to be worthy of their ancestors.”

Then George I solemnly announced the opening of the Olympic Games to nearly 100,000 people.

Vikelas, Coubertin and other International Olympic Committee officials attended the opening ceremony, and Sheffield was no exception. In the area belonging to the American audience, Sheffield visually estimated that there were about two hundred people, throwing out his own bodyguard secretary, and

More than a hundred American citizens witnessed this historic day.

With the entry of teams from various countries, the atmosphere of the entire stadium has gradually reached its climax. Sheffield is holding the full version of the world's first batch of Olympic stamps in his hand, secretly thinking, "This thing can be sold for a lot of money in the future, right?"

"

But as the U.S. team entered, many officials present and King George I of Greece frowned slightly, but their doubts were interrupted by the cheers of the entire stadium. And a small group of American spectators

The audience was completely silent. Only then did Sheffield raise his head, put the stamp in his arms, and waved his right hand. The bodyguard beside him had already waved the prepared Southern Cross flag.

It coincided with the Southern Cross flag held by the flag bearer of the American team entering below. The bodyguards shouted loudly and joined in the cheers for the American players, which formed a sharp contrast with the other half of the stunned audience.

Sheffield looked at the American audience on his left and nodded with a reserved smile. He didn't seem to think anything was wrong. The federal government didn't take any money and still wanted to enjoy the glory? This is simply crazy.

Is there any law that prohibits the raising of the Southern Cross flag? Especially on international occasions, there is no such thing. This is the spontaneous will of the representatives of the people. They are willing to hold the flag, and no one can control it.

This episode did not cause any commotion, and it is unrealistic to expect Greek citizens to know what the flag of a country on the other side of the Atlantic looks like. Sheffield cannot now remember what the flag of Kuwait looks like.

The competition includes nine major events: track and field, swimming, weightlifting, shooting, cycling, Greco-Roman wrestling, gymnastics, fencing and tennis. Among them, the Greeks are most concerned about the marathon event that is associated with historical glory. Sheffield is so considerate.

People have never trained for this kind of event. Only one American citizen participated in the marathon. He signed up and waited to get on the ship in New York.

At this point, the landmark Olympic Games officially opened. From this day on, the media newspapers in Sheffield's hands, except for the Los Angeles Times in California, no longer paid attention to the election that had begun to heat up, which brought a sense of mutual attack on previous US elections.

Clear stock flow.

"Boss!" Evelin avoided Sheffield's arm, her eyes filled with helplessness, "I'm not ready."

"It's okay, leave it all to me, I'm ready." Sheffield hugged Evelin's body tightly, and after a period of offense and defense, with a sweet cry, he finally successfully implemented the workplace rules.
Chapter completed!
