Chapter 21: William the Octopus

Sheffield has been asking himself, what on earth is he going to do? First of all, he must admit that he has no interest in shaping the human beacon. Moreover, this does not need to be shaped. It can be packaged through brainwashing. The evidence is the development of the United States.

history.

And in terms of his origin, he is a vested interest in the United States, not an ordinary vested interest. Thirty years ago, his family was well-known in the entire southern slave states. His grandmother’s family was even more prominent.

A man with great reputations on both sides of the Atlantic would only betray his class unless he was crazy.

He admired people who could betray their own class, but he would never do so. Because Sheffield was a common man. In fact, even his unmasked grandfather, Sheffield, did not think that this senior was necessarily hostile to the United States.

, but it involves a very basic question: who has the final say in the United States.

In other words, who should really stand at the top of the pyramid and watch all living beings busy? The industrial capitalists think it is them, and the plantation owners think it should be us. It is such a simple difference.

"Have you ever had any contact with the Yankees? What do they think of my family?" As graduation approaches, setting goals has become a problem that Sheffield has to face squarely, but he is still a little vague and has to listen to other people's opinions.

"I have contacted a few, and they said that the Sheffield family is the DuPont of the South, even more pervasive than DuPont. It is like an octopus, extending its tentacles to everything it can see." Carter said with a smile.

He gestured like an octopus until Sheffield looked directly at him and stopped laughing.

"Why are you laughing? Are you remembering something happy?" Sheffield asked coldly and jokingly.

"Octopus?" Until the other party stopped, Sheffield was not bothered by the cold place at all. Suddenly he smiled elegantly and said to himself, "This is a good metaphor, but my family seems to have made achievements in agriculture, animal husbandry and industry.

It’s a bit broader than what the Dupont family covers.”

If you want to stick the earth firmly in its tentacles like an octopus, it seems to be a very touching setting. Sheffield is thinking about this issue very seriously, and I have to say that this idea has taken root in his heart.

Seeing the uncertainty on Sheffield's face, the remaining twelve people looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Just as they were about to ask questions, Sheffield had already asked first, "I've been away recently, have you not bullied others?

"

Sheffield's words were as if Annabell was admonishing himself, but with a different object. Now he was admonishing others, and after getting all the answers, he said again, "Choose some whose family conditions are not good, but who have good academic performance."

Great potential stocks, if you help each other in life, you can also build a good reputation. Isn't it just money? Even the upstart Rockefeller understands this truth."

"This is also the purpose of our club. Don't worry William, we will never forget this." Carter spoke first, and then he was greeted with approvals one after another.

"You are looking for assistants for your future, and you can also gain a good reputation. Why not do it to be praised." Sheffield said, "Forgive me, I am so honest." "In the ancient Roman era, freedom was not allowed.

Do the people and the manor owners stand together, otherwise if the slaves rebel, there will be no suppression?"

Later generations in Sheffield read Bush's autobiography, which did not mention Bush's outstanding and commendable talents. It only said that he was an honest and sincere person. Regardless of whether this is true or not, sincerity will suffice.

Be the president? What’s more, what does the laundry detergent incident have to do with sincerity?

But he is the president of the United States. Bush's growth trajectory illustrates the importance of family and blood relationship networks. Just like everyone here now, these people cannot do everything by themselves and must need assistants to help them. This is

The significance of the existence of the freedmen class.

However, in modern society, the division between slave owners and free people is a bit too straightforward. In fact, it can also be called the middle class. We can create an illusion for the middle class and pretend that they are the masters of the country. This is the top priority now.

Stalin once said that voters cannot decide anything, only vote counters decide everything. In previous lives, many immature thinkers liked to equate democracy with votes, thinking that one person, one vote would lead to democracy. In fact,

They do not understand that in so-called democratic elections, pre-screening is much more important than the final referendum. As long as a pre-selection plan is carefully designed to take effect before the election begins, it can be guaranteed that no matter how the people vote,

, whoever comes to power will not represent their interests. They will only represent the interests of people like Sheffield.

It doesn't matter if there are really people who come out to disrupt the situation. You can still operate it just like escorting Hillary. In the end, there is no other way. Isn't there a mental patient who happens to appear?

Just thinking about it, Sheffield felt as if the most leisurely time in his life was about to pass. There were still many things he had to do in the future. The short-term goal was to realize Lafayette's expectations and reverse the power imbalance after the Civil War.

Restoring the South's position as the dominant force it held at the founding of the United States.

As for long-term status, Sheffield hopes that the Sheffield family's nickname of the Octopus will become worthy of its name. The all-pervasive tentacles will truly become claws reaching out to the world.

"Don't come to me recently. I'm busy writing my graduation thesis. You can go and listen to me then." Sheffield had already stood up. He seemed to be a little tired from the long journey. Although it was just a formality, at least he had to be decent.

.

"William, isn't it natural for you to graduate? You seem to be the only student in the Department of Oriental History. You can say whatever you want, who dares to stop you?"

"My thesis has nothing to do with history!" came Sheffield's lazily voice as he walked to the door. "That's just my personal hobby. The reason why I have such a subject is purely for leisure."

The door slowly closed, and the others regained their relaxed expressions, but there was a tacit agreement not to mention anything about what happened in Sheffield just now, as if this person had never been here.

"Guess what he will write about? Social welfare? Or civic duty? Or their family's old business? Economic discussion!"

"Who can guess this? He is an unpredictable person. He may have written an article about the environment. Who can guess it accurately?"
