Before leaving New Orleans, Sheffield witnessed the assembled American Expeditionary Force boarding the ship. They would fulfill the responsibilities of the Army and complete the military occupation of Cuba. This was a necessary step. Later, the United States obviously went astray. It was obvious that they believed

The navy and air force can handle everything. For some countries that only have tents and camels, it will never be possible to make them surrender without investing ground forces.

It's just a problem with the Army, and it can be considered that our country, the United States, has its own national conditions. Since the Spanish-American War, every time the federal government participates in a war, it has faced a country that is much weaker than itself. Even if it participates in a world war, it will only

The enemy was stabbed when he was dying. In World War II, Britain and France joined forces but only wiped out one-fifth of Germany's military strength. The Soviet Union was the country that killed 80% of Germany's military strength. The omissions in World War I were even more obvious. The war ended as soon as they reached the battlefield.

Sheffield admired the federal government's ethics in joining the war. Like himself, he never thought the opponent was as weak as the weaker. He was the king of abuse, and when he encountered a country that was slightly on the table, he would not involve dozens of countries in the battle.

I am embarrassed to say hello to people when I go out to meet. What is the Army of the United States? It only selects the most talented, not the strongest.

I can only show my awesomeness by abusing food. What if my secret is exposed when I encounter a tough opponent? Just like Sheffield said that the cold and wet conditions in Texas are colder and colder than those in Chicago, but he was bragging about Texas.

It's okay to be cool, but I will never live in Chicago for even a day. It's okay to brag, but it's not worth risking your life.

Sheffield returned to Arlington to pack his bags, and then began to prepare for this international enterprise trip. By the way, he told Lafayette about his plan. This was just a notice and not a request for instructions.

"Is it a little more dangerous over there?" After hearing this, Annabell did not express any obvious objection, but said a few things to pay attention to, "The situation is unclear now, and the expeditionary force has not arrived yet."

"When I was in school, I learned a saying, which is called wealth and wealth. The situation in the Philippines is indeed unclear now, but one condition is certain. The United States will definitely occupy the Philippines." Sheffield pondered for a moment and said, "Because

There is a certain degree of risk that other companies in the United States will choose to wait. If the United Company makes a large-scale entry into the Philippines at this time, it will gain the greatest benefits, so this risk is completely acceptable."

Huh? Annabell stroked her forehead, suddenly tilted her head and said, "No, you have other reasons. Is it related to Mexico's debt? The headquarters of the three parties responsible for Mexico's debt, the United Company, is closest to Mexico. If you stay

At home, and with the many benefits gained during the war, it is a bit too eye-catching."

Sheffield didn't know if it was his luck to have such an old Buddha. If Annabelle were like the old Buddha in the East, his life would definitely be very sad. But fortunately, his family did not interfere with the heir's behavior.

"That's part of the reason. If I wasn't here, this would have been a plan led by Rockefeller." Sheffield said concisely, "I was also looking for evidence of alibi for myself."

"I really learned something by letting you run the prison." Annabelle nodded with great relief, quite satisfied with the heir's attempt to divert trouble to the east. Regardless of the effect, it proved that Sheffield had thought carefully.

Although "finding alibi" is just a word used to describe a crime, neither the grandfather nor the grandson cared about it. In the eyes of some proletarians, people like them were committing crimes while they were still alive.

Just setting off with the expeditionary force still exceeded the limit of wealth and danger. Annabel suggested that after arriving in Hawaii, wait and see the progress of the Asian battlefield, stabilize a little, and then intervene with the capital of the United Company.

A few days later, Sheffield had appeared in California. He did not come by himself, but also brought two retired companies of the Alamo Guards. At this time, San Francisco was still busy, and the Eighth Army of the American Expeditionary Force was formed.

Under the leadership of General Merritt, they had just left the mainland, followed by a total of 30,000 Chinese laborers.

As for other Chinese workers, the United Company also signed contracts with them, but until the Philippines is completely conquered, these other contract workers will have to stay here temporarily.

The port is still very busy, and the collected freighters are still transporting military supplies, such as beef jerky left over from the Civil War. Consumables such as the Army should not be treated as compared with the Navy. The Navy is an aristocratic service.

"A successful international company cannot just focus on the domestic market." Sheffield, an international entrepreneur, gave the accompanying company employees a routine of chicken soup. "Of course there are risks, but as the first large-scale company to enter the Philippines

Enterprises, this will also bring huge benefits. You must know that the Philippines is a place with a population and area several times that of Cuba. The population is more than three times that of Cuba, and the area is more than three times. Of course, our company has a very big advantage

, that is, we have established a good relationship with the Chinese, so that we can understand the situation in the Philippines through the Chinese, which will definitely establish an industry in the Philippines faster than other companies."

In front of Evelin, Sheffield habitually boasted about his foresight, as if he was planning this and was waiting for it to come to fruition.

"Okay, this is the basic information prepared by the boss." Evelin flipped the hair beside her ear and distributed general information about the Philippines to other secretaries in the secretariat, emphasizing, "Although the development rate of the Philippines

It is relatively low, but it has great potential for development and can serve as a huge development driving force for the joint company."

There are many higher plants in the Philippines. They mainly include conifers, bamboos, dipterocarps, mangroves, pine trees, etc. And as an archipelago, although it is highly developed, it is similar to the geographical environment near San Francisco, and there may be many rare metal resources.

For comparison, California, which is also close to the sea and has frequent earthquakes, should not have any problems with resources such as copper, gold, silver, and iron.

"The Philippines will be the key overseas business location of the joint company. After the boss's inspection, he will also cooperate with domestic mining companies to conduct exploration." Evelin nodded, "Of course, this is far from all, the bank will also work on it.

We will enter Manila later, depending on the progress of the expeditionary force."

Evelin wanted to continue talking, but was directly interrupted by Sheffield, who couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "So, an unprecedented opportunity is in front of us. Compared with other companies, we are not only one step ahead, but also have

A very good foundation. It can be said that this foundation is based on the good relationship between the Chinese community. Of course, I also know that some newspapers in San Francisco have recently objected to this. If those Irish people are willing to fart, they will smoke themselves.

Well, all we can do is close the door and let them produce and sell on their own. As a large company, there is no objection to this level of objection."

Sheffield gave some encouragement to the entourage who was about to leave, telling these employees that as long as you follow me well, blessings will surely come to you, "I am not interested in money."

When boarding the cruise ship, Evelin and others each carried a suitcase, which contained works by Hugo and Tolstoy. As a cultural desert, the United States has no accumulation of literature at all. In terms of local literature,

Don't compare it with France and Russia, where there is controversy over who is first. As for popularity, Sheffield is a person who has been influenced by Internet literature, and he has read all the popular ones.

When boarding the ship, both hands were empty, and the young woman behind him was carrying a suitcase. This scene made some gentlemanly men want to show their self-explosive hormones, but after seeing the Alamo Company behind them, they returned to

Self-restraint.

"Look at those men who are secretly looking at you, do they look like dogs?" Sheffield put his arm around Evelin's shoulders and pointed at the men who had just peeked at his group with his other hand.

Pointed.

"Can't you be friendly to ordinary people? Don't trample on their dignity." Evelin glanced at the few onlookers who were looking away, and said softly, "Yes, that's it!"

"I think the most caring behavior for ordinary people is to tell them the real world. Of course I can also care for them, just like I care for my black back." Sheffield said with a playful smile, "Personally, I am too lazy to lie.

If they want to deceive, they can deceive the entire citizen class, telling them not to think too much and just live one day at a time. Naturally, they have a boss like me to plan their lives, and what they have to do is to live their lives within my plan.

Create value for me.”

Hawaii is located at the "crossroads" of the Pacific Ocean. It is a sea and air transportation hub between Asia, America and Oceania. It has an important strategic position. With this status, it has naturally attracted the covetousness of the imperialist powers. As early as fifty years ago, Hawaii

, the two most powerful colonial empires, England and France, successively claimed their sovereignty over Hawaii.

Just before Sheffield arrived in Hawaii, U.S. President William McKinley made a difficult decision. In view of Hawaii's offer to exchange sovereignty for exemption from tariffs, the federal government decided to annex Hawaii and make Hawaii an overseas territory of the United States of America.

Sheffield only listens to this kind of thing. Before the war with Spain actually started, William McKinley's peace initiative may have worried about the risk of defeat. But now the difficult decision to annex Hawaii must be staged, and it remains

The last bit is not too ugly to eat.
