Chapter 18 The Consequences of Failed Entrepreneurship

"Compared with the situation in the Caribbean, the current situation in the country is just a small problem." Annabel is not turning a blind eye to the economic depression, but she has a larger goal, and naturally hopes that the heirs of her family will also have a broader vision, "William

, you should think about the current situation in the Caribbean. Only if you can benefit from it will it be worthy of your family foundation. Do you think this time? Will the demonstration against the UK be effective? "

"Yes!" Sheffield replied directly without thinking. He did not remember that the United States was at war with the United Kingdom because of the Venezuelan incident. He had no impression in his mind. This matter must have been resolved peacefully in the end.

"Reason!" Annabel asked noncommittally. This was not a simple judgment question, only right and wrong. Although she felt a kind of estranged relationship with Sheffield, major issues still needed to be tested.

Sheffield hesitated for a moment. He certainly couldn't say that it was because of the final peaceful settlement in history. Besides, some people had interfered with history before him. He thought about the international situation and said slowly, "Gentlemen of the British Empire, it's not yet...

As for those of us in the United States, the reason why many people in the country clamor is just because they have a mentality of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. On the contrary, for the British, there are too many things in the world that need to pay attention.

, the situation in the Far East is far more important than the current affairs in the Caribbean." -

As a world hegemon, there are many things in the British Empire. For a country to take care of the affairs of so many places, it must be light or heavy. For the current British Empire, the most important place is naturally Europe opposite the English Seafood, Germany

France and Russia did not have a fuel-efficient lamp. After the reunification of Germany, the national power surged, and William II, who had just ascended the throne, was ambitious and wanted to lead Germany to the top of the world. Needless to say, France, at that time, the British had a traditional feud, starting from the Hundred Years War between Britain and France.

In the beginning, after the Seven Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars, although we are now at peace with Britain for the time being, who knows what will happen in the future.

As for the Russian Empire, the leader of the Holy Alliance, the backing of the monarchy, and the name of the European steamroller are worrying enough. In addition to Europe, there are many important areas for Britain, such as the Suez Canal in the Middle East, the Suez Canal in South Asia,

India, the pearl of the empire, and even matters in the Far East are far ahead of American affairs.

Today's Britain has to care about everything and consider its own interests. The problem is that the opponents of the British Empire are not so weak compared with Britain. This is completely different from the opponents of the United States more than a hundred years later. Of course, the opponents of the United States in later generations are also

They are very powerful, but they all appeared one by one, whether it was the Soviet Union or the Republic, opponents that appeared at different times at that time. But now Britain, Germany, France and Russia are all worthy of Britain's full response. Any two countries that get closer will

All made Britain very nervous.

When it comes to the Caribbean specifically, the United States and the United Kingdom attach completely different importance to it. For the United States, America is the America of Americans. Whether President Monroe's words are empty words is a very important matter.

As far as the British are concerned, no one knows what level Venezuela is in the diplomatic rankings and its level of ambition. Even if the goal is not achieved, the British will not lose anything.

'The British military is much stronger than that of the United States. I hope it will not cause conflicts. In fact, I understand that in terms of military strength, the current demonstrations in the United States are like an egg hitting a stone. But look at the recent newspapers involved.

What does it say?' Annabel took out a recent newspaper. The headline was, Venezuela is a poor friend of the Western Hemisphere. The compassionate attitude in it was in sharp contrast to the condescending wording of the British, which made people see

There is a mentality of sympathy for the weak.

"Are American newspapers these days so good at cleaning the floor?" Sheffield took the newspaper and glanced at it casually, and caught a few key points. If he hadn't known that he was in the United States, he would have thought he had seen it.

What about an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal newspaper? Sure enough, in this regard, the whole world is the same. When it reflects the will of the country, it puts away its neutral and objective attitude.

However, it can also be seen that this is the federal government building momentum. The government at this time needs the support of the people. However, Sheffield still feels that the British Empire should not conflict with the United States because of the Caribbean. After thinking about it,

Sheffield knew that Lafayette must have thought this was profitable. After all, the Sheffield family had a very international outlook, and Annabel's family even relied on African labor to carry out international trade on both sides of the Atlantic. With this

This perspective is not surprising at all.

"Grandma, in fact, compared to how to deal with Britain, you should know that the United States does not have the strength yet, but no matter what the outcome is in Venezuela this time, if the domestic warlike sentiments are mobilized, they will definitely find an opponent in recent years. I

Personally, I think that the United States will definitely launch a war in the next few years and find an opponent to practice against." Sheffield lowered his head slightly and expressed his thoughts in front of the powerful people at home. "This opponent will definitely not be too strong and can defeat the domestic people.

Militant emotions were given an outlet."

Even if the United States wants to swear that it is not a soft persimmon, there is no delay. It must first find a soft persimmon.

"This is quite novel. Who do you think the United States will choose as its opponent?" Annabelle was actually not interested in Sheffield's judgment, but this judgment was quite novel at the time.

"It's a very prestigious country but it's not very powerful now. The only one left is Spain? If there can be a peaceful settlement with the United Kingdom this time, I believe the United States will choose to take action against Spain." Sheffield said in conjunction with the current international situation, various propaganda

The machine created public opinion about foreign expansion. But just as the United States was preparing to expand overseas, the entire world had been carved up by the old colonial powers. Britain, France, Germany, and Russia could not afford to offend each other, and the United States would not do anything to these countries.

"Cuba has indeed been unstable in the past few years!" Sheffield said it casually, and Annabelle listened casually. But after the heir mentioned such a fresh conclusion, Annabelle felt that things might develop like this.

Benefits can be obtained from the bottom, and the opponent is not a very strong country. It seems that Spain is the only one left. And just now, the Cuban protests were once again suppressed by Spain, just half a month ago.

In fact, three years later, after the United States had made all preparations, it launched the Maine incident. The level of justice it brought was even more upright than the excuse of the Third Reich to attack Poland. Naturally, the United States dared to take the initiative to frame it, which naturally shows that in

It had been planned for a long time before, and it was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Annabell already felt in her heart that she should inquire about what was going on in Cuba. Sheffield bowed slightly and said politely, "Grandma, I should go back to university to complete my studies now. Although it is my own place, it will not last long."

It’s not good to leave, I will graduate this year.”

"Okay, your college life is over. There are no surprises. You will definitely graduate in May. I will say hello to the board of directors." Annabel nodded in approval, "Take care of all your things and prepare to go home.
