Hearing what the two friends said, Sheffield really thought of some rumors. There is no doubt that a paradise for the rich is a hell for the poor. Once Puerto Rico is really built according to this idea, it will easily make Sheffield think,

Some people committed suicide in prison.

Although they are undoubtedly the beacon of capitalism, there are still a lot of bad things under the gilded United States. From this point of view, the dung diggers of this era are still somewhat useful, at least they are bolder than the so-called uncrowned king a hundred years later.

Much more.

There is no doubt that if such an industry is established in Puerto Rico now, it will take away the business of Las Vegas. For the truly rich, no matter how cool Las Vegas is, there will be no real lawlessness.

Freedom comes from the land, and there is no doubt that Puerto Rico is a truly lawless place.

As for what the native Puerto Ricans think, it is not a very important thing. This world is so real, and no one lives in imagination. It is necessary to admit that you can stand firm after being beaten. How full of truth.

The three people became more and more excited as they talked. Think about it, if various small Central American countries, their commanders, presidents and judges all left criminal evidence here in Sheffield, wouldn't they become puppets of the United Company in the future?

United Fruit Company's status as the emperor in Central and South America will be more stable.

"As long as one person falls into our hands, everything will be implicated immediately. If a person wants to be a good person, he has to spend his whole life, and becoming a bad person can happen in an instant." A coldness flashed in Gale's eyes.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "One person who falls into the water can be implicated. As long as he dares to come, there is nothing we can't do. Even if our guests like to kill people, we must provide them with adequate services."

"Some words should not be so straightforward. I am just running a casino. What kind of industry you want to run is your own business!" Although as a slave owner, Sheffield did not have anything like a conscience, but after hearing this

When Gale said things too bluntly, he still felt dissatisfied.

But in fact, the industry he is involved in is the nastiest industry. Among the three industries, pornography, gambling and drugs, at least two of them can be calculated. But for things like gambling, you can never calculate how much money is enough.

Fill in. The most important thing is that gambling is a decision made in a sober state. Since it is a decision made by oneself when the head is clear, once you lose, you cannot blame anyone but yourself.

Therefore, gambling on dogs does not deserve sympathy. This is the reason. Gambling is an industry that accurately targets the weak points of the soul. Sheffield is still brazenly saying that others put things too bluntly.

Both McHale and Gale showed "I understand" expressions, and immediately fell silent. They no longer talked about specific matters, but talked about where to build industries. Puerto Rico does not look big, but in fact it covers an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers.

, it is not small at all for enterprises, and there are many choices.

The specific industry will naturally be close to the port, because it is convenient to allocate various resources, and sun and beach are the basic conditions that many people pursue. "I heard that Edith Rockefeller's fashion company has a kind of underwear called bikini. If it is placed here

If so, it will definitely attract a lot of people.”

"That's a good idea!" After hearing Gale's prompt, McHale clapped his hands and said in full agreement, "The domestic environment is too conservative. If it were someone from here, there wouldn't be any problem. Who doesn't like a man who doesn't like to experience something exotic?

It’s charming, even William raised a Japanese girl in Austin.”

"Well! We are talking about business!" Gale gave McHale a wink, saying that the Japanese girl was being watched by Annie, so William, who didn't even look at us, couldn't find a chance to make a move.

What.

"This is just a matter of discussion between the two of you. It's just a matter of details. I've been wandering around these few days to see if there is any land that I like! With Governor Allen's help, there won't be any big problems, but be careful.

Local." Sheffield waved his hand, seeming to be touched by the conversation between the two.

The fact is just like what these two bastards said, he doesn't have it yet. What about Sato Sukeo's daughter? After all, it is too close and it is difficult to operate. He should have rejected Annie in the first place and not let the two of them be in the same school. But okay

When Annie is about to graduate, Austin Girls' School will soon become his backyard again, and he can enter it at will.

Now Sheffield needs to adjust his mentality and let his noble heart be exposed to the sun. Evelin can solve this matter. In this indifferent world, only Evelin's broad mind can give slave owners a comfort.

.

"Actually, sometimes, I don't know what I am doing. Do I do a lot of things I don't want to do just to make money!" Touching Evelin's lotus-like arm, Sheffield shook his head and said, "What on earth am I doing? Why?

I always do bad things, and I have a group of friends who do bad things, but fortunately, when you are here, you can stop me from getting into trouble."

Evelin just listened to Sheffield's confession, raised her head, wiped a handful of messy hair, and kissed the man on the cheek, "Actually, you have also done a lot of good things. You promoted large-scale agriculture and at least allowed fewer people to produce

If you have produced more food, many farmers will thank you. You have built more affordable cars and allowed more people to enjoy technological progress. You are not as bad as you said. There is no pure person in the world.

Good people and bad people, like me, should not lie in your bed."

"You are different, you were forced!" Sheffield grabbed Evelin's little hand and corrected him, "I have already said this once. I forced you. Honesty is one of my few advantages.

.I promise you, after I am sure that I have no opponent, if I still have the energy at that time, I will try to do something good. But this is also very difficult. The British and the Boers are both white people, and they are still fighting to the death in Africa, so even

Peace is something that is out of reach, how can I strangle all competitors? If I hadn't agreed to the Rockefeller family's help, maybe the United Company and the DuPont Consortium would be fighting vigorously now, right?"

In fact, after returning from the Philippines, Sheffield wanted to cause trouble with the DuPont Consortium. Especially after merging with the Rand Corporation, he was prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to square this competitor and kick it out of the gunpowder field.

However, God is not as good as man. There are not only two companies in the country. Morgan exerted influence on the DuPont family, and United Company sided with Standard Oil. This opportunity was missed.

Now that the Dupont Consortium has received some late dividends from the Boer War, it has reversed its decline. The war between the British and the Boers has also entered the next stage. Roberts turned the main attack force back to Orange and steadily advanced northward. Due to the absorption of the first

Learning from the failure in the first stage, the British army changed its tactics.

When being ambushed by the Cloth Army, the infantry troops no longer maintained their formation. Instead, they dug nearby trenches to cover the cavalry charge against the Cloth Army positions. Under this tactic, the Cloth Army's blockades continued in the poplar forest, Abraham's Cattle Pen, and other places.

Failure. The British 6th and 7th Divisions defeated the best-equipped Johannesburg police force of the Burundi Army at Abraham's Bullpen. Mathews Stein, President of the Orange Free State, led government and parliamentary officials to escape from the capital Burundi.

Longfontein, fled north to Kronstadt.

Then the British army entered Bloemfontein. Typhoid fever was prevalent among the British troops. Roberts had to order a rest on the spot, and the British offensive was interrupted. The commander-in-chief of the Bloemfontein army, Joubert, fell off his horse again and was seriously injured during the battle at Willow Farm. According to

His last wish was that Louis Botha, who was good at guerrilla warfare, would succeed him as commander-in-chief of the Boer field forces.

Entering the middle of the year, when the election campaign for the United States is getting more and more heated, the fighting on the African continent is still unprecedentedly fierce. The British Empire mobilized troops from various colonies and rushed to Africa. The number of troops directly participating in the war has exceeded 300,000. Facing the fierceness of the war,

, the Morgan Alliance even tried its best to help the British government issue public bonds to support the Boer War.

From this point of view, we know that the relationship between Britain and the United States is actually very complicated. Deep down, many people feel that Britain is a stumbling block in front of the United States, and they always want to see their country become a world hegemon and kill Britain.

But when someone goes against the British, the United States will still choose to stand by the British. For example, the Boer War aroused opposition from almost all powerful countries. The federal government still adopted a neutral stance, but it did not prohibit domestic companies from supporting the British.

acts of war.

During most of 1900, Sheffield United Company spent a lot of time carrying out construction work. At the same time, although Sheffield himself was hiding in Puerto Rico and pretending to be busy, he was also paying attention to the movements of all parties. Roosevelt replaced him.

William McKinley gave a national address and debated like William Bryan. On the surface, people who didn't know thought it was Roosevelt running against William Bryan.

In fact, this perfectly reflected the strong position of the Republican Party in this era. Through such actions, William McKinley showed that he was sure to win this election.

"Pay more attention to the situation in the Midwest. We need to clearly understand where we lost so that we can win back in the future." Taking the telegram from China, Sheffield knew that the Democratic Party's election was going to be unlucky again, and he paused.

Dun continued to order Jesla, "Look for someone and ask if there is a person named Wilson in the Democratic Party."
