Chapter 23 Love Nature No One
The United States is not a rival to the British Empire. How can I say that? The elites have a clear understanding of this. They are not ignorant people who are driven to the streets by the rhythm of public opinion, or they directly become
Many people are willing to become cannon fodder. For the sake of the Manifest Destiny of the United States, what does it matter if some people die?
Annabel can't actually do anything about this matter, and she can't even exert influence on the Democratic Party. Because the Democratic Party has never had anything to do with peace. This is the nineteenth century, and until around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Democratic Party was a standard war
The partisan expansionist theory of Manifest Destiny was proposed by the Democrats and their supporters to build an agricultural empire. The more land, the better, and never too little.
Contrary to many countries, the supporters of the expansion of the United States were farmers and the Dixie people of the South. Even before the Civil War officially started, many planters believed that if they were destined to part ways with the United States, the Confederate States must eliminate Mexico and close the border.
Push towards the equator and build an agricultural empire.
Now that thirty years have passed, Annabell naturally knows the absolute advantage of industry over agriculture, and naturally does not think about it. But she is also very interested in the expansion of the influence of the United States to the entire America.
Because this is beneficial to the southern states. Latin America is in the south of the United States, and the southern states will benefit from this. The geographical factors have a great advantage in this. What she really wants to do is to regain the Dixie people's power in the United States before the Civil War.
status.
At this time, the friendship between the Sheffield family and the British Empire is not important. Just as her precious heir said, today the economy of the United States is on par with the British Empire in terms of scale, not to mention the cutting-edge.
With a population of 70 million as a backing, if compared to the mainland, it is no less worthy of the British mainland. Relations with the UK are destined to not improve for a long time.
In addition to considering the geographical advantages of the southern states to Latin America, and the Sheffield family themselves can also benefit, there is another factor. The planters who immigrated to Brazil after the war are now looking at the Venezuelan crisis. If
The United States can achieve its goals, and their determination to come back will be stronger.
The ideals of the Democratic Party, the interests of the southern states and their own families, and the plantation owners returning to Brazil, none of these is more important than the traditional friendship with the British Empire.
Bogood didn't get the results he wanted from Annabel, and he wasn't actually that disappointed. This was just an inevitable move. He believed that even if it came to the end, the British Empire would be able to deal with this unfortunate situation.
Obedient former colonies are still no problem.
With a weak navy and an even weaker army, no matter how much the British Empire dispatches a squadron from anywhere in the world, it can make this country that does not know the heights of the sky understand who is the master of the world today.
"For the sake of God, I hope Americans can wake up." After leaving Sheffield Manor, Bogood randomly selected some newspapers at the newsstand. As long as Venezuela was mentioned, they were full of criticism.
British hostility.
This made Bogud full of doubts, why is this country so hostile to Britain? It doesn't even look at how weak its own military is.
"Madam, the police just called, saying that our guest just got on the train and left Arlington." The servant opened the door, lowered his head slightly, and reported to Annabelle who was sitting on the sofa.
"Let's go!" Annabel adjusted her glasses and said nonchalantly, "Our family is just a businessman, and the distinguished British guests still think highly of me."
This perfunctory tone is on par with Grandma Wolf. How could a businessman like her not be connected to politics? Otherwise, how did the Democratic Party get its campaign funds? It is because it is too deeply involved in politics that it is possible to know which side is more profitable.
.
"I'm in a bad mood. Tell the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Association that if the amount purchased by the North does not decrease, the price of meat and grain shipped to the North will increase." Annabell rubbed her dry eyes and emphasized, "
After planting in the northern states, they will follow the policies of the Congress and wait until after the harvest season to sell them. Taking advantage of this economic depression, we will give farmers in the north a chance to learn."
"Girls Yang always think that the products they make are their greatest wealth. This year they should understand that having enough to eat is their greatest wealth. Keep an eye on Latin American countries and send telegrams to our customers immediately. Don't give them at this time.
I'm causing trouble. Otherwise, you can wait until the slave hunting team comes to visit you." Annabel raised her head and said, "Don't forget what I did before I got married."
Sheffield is a plantation owner, but Annabel is not, at least not entirely. Her family was originally engaged in transportation, transporting African labor to the Americas. This business did not end after the Civil War. Isn’t Brazil still there?
At that time, it also had some smuggling properties.
Annabel's slave-hunting team has a customer relationship with many planters in Latin America. Once the price of agricultural products in the United States rises, the North will inevitably not import because the Democratic government has lowered tariffs. Once the price of southern agricultural and animal husbandry products is higher than that of imports, it will
There may be things that suppress prices.
She now wants to avoid this situation in advance and let the servant convey this idea.
"Now the British are bullying the United States. The international situation is so dangerous and the domestic climate is abnormal. It is not surprising that some unscrupulous traders are hoarding." Annabell greeted the servant who was about to leave and said slowly, "
It is undeniable that some people may be disobedient. Write down the list of those who do not follow the advice of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Association and give it to me when the time comes.”
Now, in her eyes, those who do not cooperate with the price increase and do not take a consistent position with the Texas Agricultural and Livestock Association are unscrupulous traders. The reason for the increase in domestic agricultural and animal husbandry product prices is the existence of these unscrupulous traders, and they should be severely cracked down on.
"That's it!" Sheffield put down the pen and looked at his graduation thesis with satisfaction. His teeth were sore after reading a paragraph. It was simply a masterpiece of environmentalism, with the addition of white and left-wing articles from later generations.
Several elements that advocate refining firmly occupy the moral high ground.
The article starts with the plight of the bison in North America and accuses humans of cruelty in exterminating wild animals. It also makes a call to protect the bison, a native species in North America, that may become extinct at any time.
"William, why are you paying attention to this problem, but it seems to be really serious. It would be a pity if the original species of bison became extinct." Carter took Sheffield's article and gave it to several clubs around him.
The members circulated it, and several people couldn't believe it. Sheffield is a person who loves nature? It's not like that!
"My grandmother always taught me to be in awe of nature! She loved nature very much." Sheffield lied without blushing. He was a lover of nature, not a person who loves nature. These are two different meanings. Carter misinterpreted this.
