Sheffield's route is actually very similar to that of the First World War, when the main force of the German army entered Belgium and attacked France. It's just that it was the other way around. Sheffield seemed to have a vague feeling along the way that there were millions of people on both sides.

The army fought against each other, and blood invaded every inch of the land.

As for whether a world war will break out, this is almost certain. No matter how big Sheffield is in the business field, it is just personal will, but there is national will between countries.

This kind of national will exists in all European powers, but the United States is only in its infancy. The current federal government of the United States can only think about whether it can prevent the European powers from always treating the Monroe Doctrine as a fart and take care of the face of the United States.

However, these old imperialist countries in Europe are not thinking about the issue of face, nor are they prepared to just talk and protest against the enemy countries that oppress them like the United States.

It can be seen from the election situation in the French Republic that even the romantic French are turning to the right collectively. Who needs to talk about the imperial governments of Germany and Russia? This sentiment has been brewing for ten or twenty years, and war is almost inevitable. These

It is much easier for the imperial government to unite the will of the country than it is for the federal government of the United States.

This is really a problem of the system. It is not easy for the United States to form a unified national will to fight against the enemy. In later generations, the United States became the number one in the world, and it became easier. The United States of America these days is just a trash fish.

If the election were not approaching and the Republican Party would always come out to show what if we came to power, President Cleveland would not give up the isolationism he had adhered to for many years and become hardline. After all, the Democratic Party has to be responsible for the election. What if it continues to be in power?

On the fourth day after leaving Paris, John Connor came over and told Sheffield that he had successfully traced the Secretary of State's footsteps and entered the German Empire.

"Oh?" Sheffield looked out the window. The scenery looked the same. He looked at Anne and said, "I heard that the relationship between France and the Germans is not very good. You can try to pretend to be British when you go somewhere."

The destination of Sheffield is the Ruhr area, the heart of German industry. The Ruhr industrial area is one of the most important industrial areas in Germany and Europe. It can be said that the importance of the Ruhr area is that Germany launched two world wars.

material basis.

The Ruhr area supplied the German army that swept across Europe, as well as world-famous companies such as Krupp, Rheinmetall, Farben Chemical, etc. As a senior German fan, Sheffield knew the Ruhr area very well.

He is no longer a junior German fan. He will not make mistakes on the question of whether the Second Reich or the Third Reich is stronger. The food crisis broke out in the country in the second year of Wilhelm II's Second Reich.

Under such circumstances, fighting on two fronts and resisting the Allied Powers for several years is more convincing than the Third Reich integrating all of Europe but failing to defeat the Soviet Union.

When we arrived in the Ruhr area, the sky here obviously had nothing to do with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. At a glance, there were towering chimneys everywhere, and the blanket of smoke reflected the common characteristics of this era.

After getting off the train, Sheffield put on a black mask, which was better than nothing.

"What about me?" Annie tugged on Sheffield's sleeve and pointed at her face, "Aren't you prepared for me?"

Before turning into the carriage, it was a scene of Anne wearing a black mask and Sheffield covering his nose with his hand, "Go to Bayer!" Sheffield ordered with a thick nasal voice.

"The environment here is so bad, why are you here?" Anne, who was wearing a mask, complained angrily. She was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the environment in the Ruhr area. Compared with Paris, it was like heaven and earth.

"Of course I have my own reasons!" Sheffield leaned on the backrest and closed his eyes to rest. There are few cities that can compare with Paris these days. Paris is a city that has undergone key planning. In this era, it is rare, even in the United States.

Few cities in the United States have undergone key planning and layout.

The environment of the industrial area cannot be compared with that of the garden city. Take a deep breath, and your nose will be filled with the choking smell of imperialism. This is the normal state of cities in this era. The industrial areas around the Wudalian Lake in the United States, and the Ruhr

The environment in the district is also about the same.

Sheffield must come here. Although in terms of scale, many people believe that the United States has already lived up to its greatness and has its feet firmly on morality and law. Especially the Yankees in the north of the United States have no doubt about this. However, he does not believe it.

Don't think so.

The current situation in the United States is actually very similar to the situation in the first ten years of the Republic in the 21st century. In terms of scale, it naturally has the meaning of being the first in the world. Just like the Republic is the first in steel production, Hebei is the second, and Hebei is the second.

Santang Mountain.

However, in terms of technological content, the gap between the United States and European countries can still be seen. The large scale can only indicate the large internal needs. The United States has a population of 70 to 80 million people who need housing. Such a large land requires railway communication. The scale cannot be increased.

What happened?

If we really want to say that the local industry is strong, the United States may not necessarily have an advantage when facing European countries, especially when facing the German Empire, the strongest industrial country in Europe. Whoever said that the United States of America was stronger than the German Empire, even Sheffield thought he was crazy.

The gold content of companies such as the KGB, Siemens, and Bayer is much higher than that of the railroad kings and oil kings of the United States. Technically speaking, companies like DuPont are already highly aspirational high-end enterprises in the United States of this era.

"Are you the wheat king of the United States?" In the Bayer company, company founder Friedrich Bayer looked at the visiting children with interest and did not understand what the other party's purpose was, so he asked this question.

"Huh?" Sheffield looked at John Connor with a searching look, and the latter replied in a low voice, "It seems that some small newspapers have called my family that. But some newspapers call it Beef King."

Oh! Sheffield nodded clearly and said, "Those are all exaggerations. Our family is a farmer, originally growing cotton."

"That's right. The original cotton king of the American South had a very good relationship with London." Friedrich Bayer nodded and confirmed Sheffield's statement. He obviously had a very detailed grasp of the news from the Roadside News.

I remember someone said that Germans are rigorous. Sheffield raised his eyebrows and did not want to dwell on the issue of being a king or not. He said modestly, "Farming depends on the sky. There is no such thing as a king. When I came to Germany, I also came to Germany with the right to be a king."

We respect German technology and come to discuss cooperation."

"This is strange. The industrial scale of the United States is not very large, so why come to Germany?" Friedrich Bayer thought for a moment and did not understand why Sheffield chose to be far away.

"I am not an arrogant person. I am very clear about the gap between the United States and Europe." Of course Sheffield cannot tell the truth. He is the leader of the Dixie people, and there must be a limit to cooperation with the Yankees. Otherwise, right?
