In any case, Sheffield really lost the election, because Roosevelt was forced to take over the Panama Canal project, and was reeling from the coal cartel incident, and was reelected again.

"This time for re-election, our president will definitely not be as petty as last time." Seeing Evelyn and Alice Roosevelt come in, the slave owners who have accepted the reality are now planning to prepare for the reception.

In the next round of storm, he concluded that Roosevelt, who had been successfully re-elected, would definitely take big action against monopolies.

"The United Company's model is not a trust model. In fact, you shouldn't worry about it." Evelin glanced at Alice Roosevelt cryptically and asked pretending to be relaxed, "You should be worried about others, right?"

"There is a saying in the East that a big tree attracts the wind. From a model perspective, the United Company is certainly not a trust. But who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Can politicians believe it?" When Sheffield asked this question, he immediately became aware of it.

He replied, "No, no politician can be trusted. The relationship between our companies and politicians has not always been close. President Roosevelt obviously does not want to live in peace with us."

Alice Roosevelt couldn't help but feel a little complicated as she listened to the conversation between the two. Although she didn't have any dissatisfaction with her father, she was still a bit too straightforward when speaking.

Evelin has good intentions, hoping that the first daughter can play some role after returning to the White House. See if she can save United Company from the threat of antitrust laws. If it doesn't work, it will be okay to rank lower.

.

Alice Roosevelt sighed in her heart, regretting why she didn't explain clearly during the day, because Evelin arranged for the two of them to live in the same room again, but Sheffield took advantage of her inexplicably. How could she speak?

"How about I sleep on the ground?" Sheffield showed the appearance of a saint possessed by Jesus again. Although the lower part was like an iron rod, the sanctimonious look on his face was not lost.

"Evelyn said that if the antitrust laws were activated by my father, it would affect Congress and the Supreme Court. Is it true?" Although Alice Roosevelt had heard Evelyn's views, she hoped that Sheffield would become a city of the same size.

The boss of a huge company can give a more truthful answer.

"It's true, especially for big companies, it's not that difficult to decide against the president." Looking at Alice Roosevelt's cheek, Sheffield said truthfully, "Of course, in the end we still hope to live in peace, just like

When President McKinley was president, wasn’t everyone’s relationship very good?”

When President McKinley took office, the U.S. government did not have the habit of intervening in the economy, regardless of whether it was the greatest support. Although there was the Sherman Antitrust Act, he turned a blind eye to the monopolistic enterprises that had actually emerged.

Turn one eye, close one eye. During the more than five years of McKinley's administration, it was the golden age of mergers and acquisitions by large companies in the United States.

Sheffield also took advantage of this golden age to move from one merger to another. Of course, other companies are similar. Morgan Alliance is expanding into various industries. Today's enemies are tomorrow's friends. Everyone is trying to merge as much as possible.

In addition to very important industries that may be stuck and have to fight, most industries may even be partners.

But obviously President Roosevelt did not think so. If his first term had not lasted only three years, his energy was distracted by the collapse of a Panama dam in Sheffield, and he was overwhelmed by the coal strike. As early as his first term, he would have

Go to war in a big way instead of practicing in a few small industries.

"Boss, important call!" Jesra's voice came from outside the door, calling Sheffield out.

Being able to get Jesla to make an important call, Sheffield could only go out with a stick to deal with it. The call was from Alton Parker, telling him that this time the Democratic Party had failed again in the election.

"Judge Parker, you are already very good. This election has solved a doubt for me, and the loss is not ugly." Sheffield expressed his gratitude to Alton Parker. The defeat itself was expected, and now the slave owner's

My mentality has been adjusted and I no longer worry about the election.

After the call ended, Sheffield returned to the room. There was no one in the bedroom, but there was light in the bathroom. The sound of water dripping could be heard clearly, which made it impossible to sleep. Not long after, Alice Roosevelt came out, like a hibiscus.

She is very beautiful, which makes people even more excited.

Sheffield walked directly into the bathroom to complete the change, and seemed to still be able to feel the smell left by Alice Roosevelt.

After washing, the bedroom was already dark. Sheffield opened a corner of the quilt and got in. The two of them had their backs facing each other and were far apart. As time passed by, Sheffield couldn't sleep, but became more and more awake.

"Don't come over!" "Please!" Two voices sounded one after another. The two people who couldn't sleep finally filled in the blank memories of yesterday when they were awake.

The slave owner was quite courageous and wanted to bombard the White House, allowing the president's daughter to fly into the clouds and experience a feeling she had never experienced before.

Roosevelt, who believed that the reason for the close vote was due to his poor political performance, after experiencing the joy of being re-elected, began to think about how to be more loved by voters. As the president, he felt that the issue of black people should not be too manipulative. Because he could

None of the ideas he puts forward are more extreme than those of the Democratic Party.

The slave owners on the West Coast hope that the president will focus on ethnic issues, because this issue does no harm to him. It does not affect their own interests, but antitrust law is already an issue with a bit of class attribute. This issue is really for Sheffield

Important questions.

Unfortunately, for real big shots, ethnic issues have always been small issues. As the president of a country, Roosevelt believed that the issue of wealth and poverty was much more important than ethnic issues. He would not dwell on this small issue, but would let all people

Voters can see his ability as a president, not the Yankees or Dixies.

The slave owner holding Alice Roosevelt in his arms on the West Coast was still asleep. Roosevelt in the White House had already begun his day's work. Attorney General Knox came as agreed. Originally, he wanted to congratulate Roosevelt on his re-election, but he heard Roosevelt's words before he opened his mouth.

He said please take a seat, and then said, "We must make up our minds when it comes to dealing with the big companies we call trusts."

In fact, Roosevelt had already expressed his dissatisfaction with the trusts during his previous term. Knox did not expect that President Roosevelt, who had just completed his re-election, would be in such an urgent mood.

Knox said with a solemn expression, "Theodore, which company do you want to attack?"

"Public transportation is an area that citizens can clearly feel. Although the automobile industry is developing, it is still very expensive for a person to travel by car, and cars cannot currently carry the transportation capacity. Whether it is for citizens to travel

Railways are the most common way of transporting goods." Roosevelt said calmly, "To achieve immediate results and allow all citizens to feel the benefits quickly, the railway system must be modified."

"Railway system? Northern Securities Company in the hands of Morgan?" Knox was shocked. He did not expect that Roosevelt would directly pick a hard nut to crack when he came up, but it was also like what Roosevelt said. The railroad system made citizens feel the strongest.

Every place, whether it is personal travel or transporting goods, relies on the railway system.

"That's it. A large number of immigrants are pouring into the United States, a large number of farmers are pouring into the cities, the domestic railway mileage is increasing rapidly, and the railway has formed the country into a unified market in the true sense. The railway is so important, and it can affect so many things.

." Roosevelt said that Knox's guess was correct, it was the Northern Securities Company, which controlled the railroad system in Morgan's hands.

Before the establishment of Northern Securities Company, Harriman and Hill respectively controlled two railroads from the West Coast to the central and eastern United States. The competition between the two parallel railroads allowed people in the Midwest of the United States to enjoy the low prices brought by competition.

price transportation.

Later, Morgan reorganized the order and took the lead in making peace between the two railroad giants and forming the Northern Securities Company. The emergence of the Northern Securities Company meant that since it could monopolize all the railroads in the northwest United States, it had the ability to completely control all the railroads in the United States.

Railways, plus the railways originally in Morgan's hands, the entire country's railway system has been completely decided by this company.

"Do you really want to take action against this company?" Knox looked up, saw Roosevelt's serious look, and said, "Okay. But this is a difficult battle. Morgan is not a person who will remain silent after being beaten. We have to do something

Be prepared."

The slave owners on the West Coast woke up slowly, not knowing that this morning, the owner of the White House had already decided on the first target to be operated on so quickly. After getting up, Sheffield had someone prepare Alice Roosevelt's favorite French bread and

Milk Tea, watching Alice Roosevelt combing her hair in the mirror, I couldn't help but step forward and hug her from behind.

"What are you doing?" Alice Roosevelt was still resisting and said angrily, "I won't pretend that nothing happened."

Do you want to pretend that nothing happened? Sheffield wished he could remember it better, so he kissed Alice Roosevelt on the cheek and said flatteringly, "Actually, I have a way to straighten my hair, but I just didn't think of it before.

.And I don’t know if it will be welcomed by women.”
