Whether it is the United States or the German Empire, if you want to go further, you must first face the shadow of the British Empire. The world at the end of the 19th century is different from more than a hundred years later. There are several challengers these days. The United States is just

It is an inconspicuous one among them, and the German Empire is the most conspicuous one.

Who says that the United States cannot show favor to the German Empire? Anyway, with the current strength of the United States, no matter how it performs, it will not make its presence more significant in the eyes of the British than the Germans. With such a natural shield, it would be stupid not to use it.

"The land under the sun is so beautiful, but it all belongs to the British Empire. It does not belong to the United States, and naturally it does not belong to the German Empire. Although the United States is very weak, the German Empire is not that strong in the eyes of the British

Go!" Sheffield's tone was very frivolous, as if he really thought that the United States could be compared with the German Empire.

However, in the eyes of the British, this might actually be the case. Friedrich Bayer did not speak for a long time, and finally said insincerely, "I am just a businessman, and I only think about my business."

"A businessman who doesn't cooperate with the government is definitely not a big businessman." Sheffield chuckled, revealing the insincerity of the other party's words.

The so-called territory under the sun comes from the world policy of Wilhelm II. During the Berlin Conference ten years ago, Africa, the last vast unclaimed land, has been divided by various countries. The so-called territory under the sun in today's world is actually all

It is a land with owners, the largest piece belongs to the United Kingdom, and the second largest piece belongs to France.

At this time, William II was pursuing a global policy, and the biggest victims were naturally these two countries. I don’t know whether the United States had come to Germany specifically to demonstrate against the United Kingdom during the Venezuelan crisis in history, but this time it did come.

Sheffield fully agreed with this and even expressed appreciation for President Cleveland's bold behavior. Originally, the German Empire was such a good country that promoted hatred, so it would be a pity not to use it.

To put it more selfishly, it doesn't matter even if it causes the British to suddenly lose their minds and beat up the United States. Anyway, Britain is only stronger in the navy, and can only beat up the navy of the United States of America. As we all know, the current

The United States Navy has nothing to lose. If it is annihilated, it will be annihilated. At worst, it will be rebuilt.

If he is killed, Sheffield might be able to eat some flesh and blood buns. The Rifle Association needs this shot in the arm. The Sheffield family's shipyard in Houston might be able to use this to complete the upgrade and open up another industry.

"Mr. Bayer, I have to go to other companies to inspect, you can think about it slowly." Sheffield bowed slightly and nodded. This was not to put pressure, everything had been planned in advance.

"I... need to think about it." Friedrich Bayer opened his mouth, not wanting to let such an attractive offer slip away from him. He had long been influenced by Roadside Society about the rumors of amazing wealth in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

It's not that he doesn't understand it at all.

Who would dislike having a lot of money? In fact, this is not without benefit to him. Sheffield can find partners from the entire Ruhr area at will and help them for the sake of the party-state. This is what Bayer created.

Competitors, you must know that Bayer is not yet a later generation, and its acquisition of Monsanto has been in the limelight for a while.

"Well, this is my temporary residence. You can send someone to find me, and I will come to your door." Sheffield turned around and left, holding a plain hand over her, almost forgetting that there was a French girl beside him.

Leaving without looking back, Sheffield has to look for other companies. Siemens, Krupp, and Mauser are all within the scope. Is the richest man in Germany in this era Krupp? But at the beginning of the new century, it must be.

, the richest man in a country turned out to be the boss of a military-industrial enterprise. One can imagine how crazy Germany was at that time. Cannons were more important than butter. The Germans had personally practiced this.

The Krupp family was in Essen, which was also part of the Ruhr area. Krupp and Mauser, one relying on cannons and the other relying on rifles, built the German Imperial Army of this era.

"Actually, I am going to talk to the Germans about agricultural cooperation. The Germans may not know that their country's shortcomings are not in the industrial field. Industry is of course very important, but if the shortcomings in agriculture are exposed, it will be a big blow.

It's fatal." Sheffield said to John Connor who had just returned while boiling water.

During World War I, a food crisis broke out in Germany in the second year. The German army resisted for more than three years despite insufficient domestic food production. This is certainly admirable, but it is also

Quite miserable.

The bright people don't talk secretly, and the German fans in Sheffield's heart broke out, hoping to help the Germans make up for their shortcomings. Naturally, the German territory is not as fertile as the French land, but it is not too far behind. As long as the potential is tapped,

It’s not that it cannot support a two-front battle.

Who is the world's number one agricultural exporter? Naturally, it is the United States of America. Sheffield's family is destined to have a say in this field, because of the 50 million cattle in Texas and the world's wheat.

A quarter of the yield. In the agricultural field, Sheffield can talk loudly to anyone.

"When are we leaving for Berlin!" John Connor counted the time and asked Sheffield how to meet the Secretary of State.

"Let's wait until Anne recovers!" Sheffield entered the room with a kettle in hand and a stinky face. The room layout was considered good in Sheffield's eyes, but Anne was a Parisian and naturally did not appreciate German tastes.

"I fell ill when I came to Germany, which delayed my trip!" Sheffield grinned and called Anne up. He came so many years earlier, and Bayer's aspirin has not yet come out. As for the efficacy of other drugs? I'll tell you after taking them.

, it is definitely stronger than American drugs.

Speaking of this issue, the medicines of the United States have been imported from Europe for a long time. In this matter, the European imperialist countries are really evil-minded and often adulterate the imported medicines. They almost regard the United States as the India of later generations.

They were expensive and adulterated. In this case, the patriotic capitalists of the United States naturally could not allow it, so they copied European drugs in large quantities and were ready to overtake them at any time.

But now that Sheffield, who abides by the rules and respects intellectual property rights, will definitely be greeted by the patent stick after returning to China, "It's because the air in Germany is bad!" Anne leans pitifully in Sheffield's arms and weakly takes it.

After getting water and medicine, I didn't forget to complain.

In fact, I suspect that you are pretending to be sick, but there is no evidence! Sheffield groaned and patted the girl's back to comfort her, "You shouldn't have come here. You are sick and making trouble now."

"I am the daughter of an earl, you have to take care of me..." Anne dragged Sheffield reluctantly and said, "Stay with me for a while."

"What's wrong with the count's daughter? Do you know that my family also has titles in some countries?" Sheffield said helplessly, "If I go to Istanbul, all Askari will be honored as William Pasha.
