Chapter 175 The victory of the giants

Of course, Sheffield is mainly concerned about California's stance. Today's California is not a hundred years later. A state with more than 50 electoral votes plays a decisive role. Because of population, California's current electoral votes are eight.

Zhang, Texas still has fifteen more.

The two states that play an important role in this election are Pennsylvania and New York. The two states together have nearly 70 votes. Pennsylvania and New York are home to giants from various industries in the United States. The two states, together with the Great Lakes region, have a large population.

The state is the center of steel, railways, oil, industry, mining, and finance in the United States.

Even if Sheffield helped William Bryan win the state of California, it would actually be difficult to win, as he faced Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, and Carnegie.

Sitting on the carriage, because the Olympic Games have long ended, the focus now returns to the election. I casually browsed through a few newspapers, covering various industries, "The stability of the financial industry has a very important relationship with gold, and silver is mined in large quantities.

It will only cause financial chaos and destroy the development of the financial industry."

"Morgan, maybe there is a shadow of Boston." Sheffield pursed his lips and saw at a glance who this report was speaking for.

"The factory has created employment for many workers, and the factory cannot be demolished just because of a safety accident, but obviously that's what William Bryan thought!"

Sweeping it from another newspaper, industrial accidents? In this era, the most prone to industrial accidents are of course steel plants. Every eleven workers working in a steel plant will encounter an industrial accident. Sheffield secretly

He muttered, "Carnegie, and maybe DuPont's industrial and mining industry."

"We appreciate the candidates' agitation, but it is impossible to do anything to the giant domestic companies. You cannot say everything for the sake of the election."

"Monopoly? Rockefeller!" Sheffield quickly found another target to compare with. It was an unprecedented unity. To be honest, when these people united, it was really difficult for William Bryan to win.

I believe that the major newspapers and media have been making a lot of money recently, and maybe their newspapers have also made considerable profits in recent months. The newspapers are afraid that nothing will happen, and it is best for something big to happen.

After a year, the Rockefeller Manor has seen some new changes, but this kind of efficiency makes Sheffield a little impatient. He has long been accustomed to quickly landing on the beach. It does not necessarily require more excellent quality, the main thing is speed.

Little Rockefeller happened to be at home, and when he knew a guest was coming, he came out to greet him very happily. He was already used to other accessories on Sheffield, such as bodyguards, but when his eyes fell on Evelin, he raised his eyebrows,

But I breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved for no reason.

"Dear John, you seem to be very interested in my assistant?" Sheffield knew that the young Rockefellers seemed to be loving husband and wife on the surface, but who knew what this kind of thing was like behind the scenes, and the murderer could not be seen at a glance.

"It's just that I'm a little curious after seeing you for the first time." Little Rockefeller pointed at Sheffield. The expression on his face was full of helplessness. He couldn't say anything. According to the news from the roadside news agency, you and my sister are a little unclear.

Relationship, have you ever pressed my sister Edith on the bed and rubbed her?

Considering the age gap between Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller, he really didn't want this to be true. Otherwise, it would be the Rockefeller family whose reputation would be damaged, and Sheffield was underage. This would be a scandal.

Once the objective condition of being underage is exposed, it will have a protective effect on Sheffield, a scumbag. On the contrary, Edith Rockefeller's reputation is probably worse than any prostitute.

The United States at the end of the 19th century is not a hundred years later, let alone a hundred years later, this matter cannot be exposed. Don't think of some white trash running to the third world to find minors. Most people in the country dare not do this. The United States is legally

I am very concerned about this, and there is still the idea of ​​​​killing chickens to scare monkeys, but you can avoid this when going abroad.

"This trip to Europe lasted for several months." Sheffield was allowed to enter the villa, and the young Rockefeller chatted with each other, using the usual polite words, but the meaning behind his words was also obvious.

"Participated in the Olympics, inspected some markets, and did a little business!" Sheffield blinked, including 30,000 stowaways and a private land transfer contract. Another group of people went to Spain for inspection. He did not know these little things.

Necessary to mention Rockefeller Jr.

After a brief courtesy, there was a very long silence. After a long time, little Rockefeller asked, "I don't know what my plans are after I come back. I heard that the electrification of the southern states is progressing rapidly, and your family has recruited a large number of Chinese workers. It should be okay.

Complete it before the change of office, so Morgan will have nothing to do with you."

"I heard that someone went to Westinghouse Electric. If we don't get it done quickly, we may be in danger of cutting off the supply." Sheffield chuckled and said that he didn't know anything about it in China. That's why he didn't show up now.

The problem is that you have to be prepared in advance.

Young Rockefeller must have wanted to ask Sheffield what he thought of the election results. There were still a few days until the voting. Sheffield quickly fulfilled Young Rockefeller's wish and said calmly, "I have chosen to go abroad at this time. I have already

I have maintained the greatest goodwill towards major family companies. It is now less than a week before the voting time. It can be said that after several months of warm-up, voters have already made their own judgments. At this time, I want to fulfill my obligations as a Democratic Party supporter.

It’s my duty, as a friend I have to tell you in advance.”

"But there is no final result yet. William, since you are not in the country, everyone can understand." Young Rockefeller organized his words, hoping to make Sheffield pretend to be dead to the end.

"It's okay, don't make it difficult for me. Now I have returned to China." Sheffield chuckled. To be honest, as long as the states in the Northeastern Great Lakes region are stable, there is no reason to be afraid of this.

Since the Civil War, the Republican alliance has been composed of Northeastern financial, industrial and commercial interest groups and Western agricultural and animal husbandry interest groups. It advocates federal integration, high tariffs and laissez-faire economic policies to protect domestic industries and accelerate industrialization and overseas expansion.

.However, this alliance is unequal. The Northeast is obviously much stronger than the Midwest. Otherwise, William Bryan would not be popular in the Midwestern states.

The interests of the two interest groups are becoming more and more divergent. This is the opportunity for the Democratic Party, which was hit hard by the Civil War, to start a comeback. And now Sheffield has led the southern farmers to start the westward movement. I am ready to show you how.

As a result of farming operations, the Republican Party's fundamentals have become unstable.

Sheffield left the Rockefeller Estate the next day, preparing to fulfill his obligation to support the Democratic Party. On this day, public opinion reports began to spread. Before boarding the train, Sheffield ordered that his newspapers must publish the image of William Bryan.

be repaired.

Even if the chance of winning the election is slim, it must be shown that the Sheffield family has not surrendered to the enemy. At least in the field of newspaper media, the newspapers that voters see are not just one-sided reports, and this is how elections look like.

This change was quickly discovered by William Bryan's team. They did not understand the change, but they were delighted with the change, and it seemed that extra help suddenly appeared.

However, this extra help is also very entangled in his heart. He does not want the entire candidate to come to power, because his current dream is the same as that of other giants, which is to develop wildly and pursue monopoly. Emotionally, he should support the Democratic Party, and he still has to support it.

Class reason tells itself that it is best not for this person to be elected.

We stopped in Chicago again and bought a few newspapers. Seeing the obvious reversal of public opinion above, Sheffield, who hid in the Farmers and Animal Husbandry Association, was no longer ready to continue on the road, so he waited in Chicago for the final results of the election.

The night was dark that day, and Sheffield from the Farming and Animal Husbandry Association had not yet slept. He very solemnly took out a psychiatric evaluation sheet, handed it to Jesla, and said slowly, "Run to William Bryan's house immediately.

City, if, I mean if, if he declares victory, there will definitely be a celebration. You will have people kill him, and then he will naturally run away. It doesn't matter if you can't escape. I will naturally take action later.

In the rescue operation, manpower is not a problem, right?"

"It's not a problem. There are plenty of manpower we can find. We were raised by the United Company and will never betray our boss." Jesra nodded solemnly, "I will personally lead the team and kill him once he declares victory.

"

"If you lose the election, you don't have to do anything. Just go to Los Angeles." Sheffield nodded. "Don't be nervous. Many people are standing with us. Anyone who jumps out is an industry giant."

On the surface, William Bryan's team received long-awaited support, and the entire campaign team was in a state of joy.

Voters across the United States are waiting for the final moment. In fact, this is still a battle between the alliance of giants and the bottom line. Even many Democrats who have been supporting him do not want him to win.

On the first Sunday of November, the time for voting came, and even industry giants such as Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and DuPont were waiting for the final results.

As news from each state continued to arrive at their desks, and as information from each state was continuously conveyed, the industry giants who had been nervous all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Republican William McClay won 6.9 million votes and 260 electoral votes, defeating William Bryan who received 6.8 million votes and 187 electoral votes.

Lane's approval rating was very close to that of William McClay, whom they supported, and it was a narrow victory.

"You also won Oregon? What an unexpected bonus!" Sheffield, who also paid attention to the results of the election, was very happy. Two of the three states on the Pacific coast were won. Maybe it would be very effective for him to lead his friends to the west.
