That layer of window paper has been pierced long ago. Alice Roosevelt didn't care about other people's opinions, and others didn't know. Since they don't know, they don't have it. In a legal society, evidence must be used to speak.

"My father wants me to get married, saying he is interested in several Republican politicians!" Alice Roosevelt hugged the man's body. Everything just happened made her feel happy, and she said blankly, "I don't know what to do now?"

Sheffield was stunned. Given the current state of the two of them being unrelated, is it inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing? For a bastard like a slave owner, hearing such words, it would be easy for him to be linked to Japan's mainstay film industry.

"Well!" Sheffield reached out and pinched Alice Roosevelt's cherry, and asked with a wicked smile, "What do you think?"

"It hurts!" Alice Roosevelt knocked off Sheffield's offending hand and said in a reproachful tone, "You are doing this to me, so I will listen to my father and find a decent Republican politician to marry."

"Isn't that bad?" Sheffield pretended to count, shook his head and said, "I don't think most people are not afraid of death. Aren't you wasting his life by marrying me? Please be a good person."

The meaning of this statement is obvious. If Alice Roosevelt chooses to get married, her husband will probably die of a cold. The advanced medical system of the United States will never be able to detect it. As long as there is no test, it is equivalent to an accident.

"Can I never get married?" Seeing Sheffield's harsh words, Alice Roosevelt felt a sweetness in her heart, and her attitude softened, and she whispered, "I'm not too young anymore."

"Twenty-four years old. Indeed, when your father's term ends, we will think of a solution." Seeing that the first daughter was already a little anxious, Sheffield had to use the word "drag" in Xie's eight-character mantra.

tactic.

Sheffield knew that after this term, Roosevelt would probably not run for office. It would be useless to spare four years to reduce the hatred of big companies against him. When Roosevelt came out to run for office again, he was also attacked.

Assassination, I just don’t know if it was self-directed or staged.

As long as Roosevelt is no longer president, this goal will not be so big. The halo of Alice Roosevelt fades, and many things will be much easier to handle. Sheffield knows that public multiple marriages are not in line with the Western tradition of monogamy, and maintaining mistresses is the only way.

It is a Western tradition, but there are exceptions to everything.

On this issue, Sheffield, like Knickerbocker Trust and Investment Company, has a can-do feeling.

Sheffield personally sent Alice Roosevelt and the ten female bodyguards behind her to the warship of the Great White Fleet. The slave owner was not a curious person. The so-called shocking Grand Fleet only had to be seen once, and it was not his own.

However, we can still work hard on the United States' dreadnoughts. We have discussed with the Frege Brothers, the former owners of the San Francisco Shipyard and now important shareholders, that a battleship should be produced as soon as possible to allow the shipyard that was affected by the earthquake to recover.

Both the Frege brothers agreed. The San Francisco Shipyard had expended a lot of effort by both of them. Neither of them wanted to see their shipyard decline, so they asked Sheffield what he thought.

What kind of thoughts can a slave owner have? The only one who would scare you when I say my name. Of course, his real thoughts are to punch Yamato and kick Musashi. It doesn't matter even if the country doesn't want it. He can just sit and go out to participate in the speedboat race in the super battleship.

However, times have limitations. Even the Houston Shipyard does not have the ability to manufacture 10,000-ton ships. This capability is only given by the San Francisco Shipyard. In this case, of course, slave owners cannot place satellites randomly.

"The overlord of the world's oceans today is the British Empire. In terms of navy, the British Empire fleet is undoubtedly the number one in terms of experience and creativity. With ready-made experience in front of you, there is no shame in learning from the strong." Xie

Field pondered for a moment and started talking in front of the Frege brothers.

"In other words, just copy the new Dreadnought-class from Britain." Alfred suddenly realized.

"Ah, that's right!" Sheffield looked at the partner deeply. If he was not a man of his word, he should fire the partner immediately and let him go. "He is good at learning advanced experience, so

It can save costs and avoid detours, and ultimately achieve overtaking in corners.”

In fact, in terms of tonnage, it is not difficult for the United States to manufacture the Dreadnought class. Among the Great White Fleet that just left, some battleships are no worse than the British Dreadnought class in terms of tonnage. The Dreadnought class just uses a new layout.

Sheffield remembered that it seemed that the United States' Dreadnought class was quite conservative at the beginning. It wanted to show off its muscles to the European powers while also taking into account the characteristics of the United States. The Europeans in the province said that the United States was a copycat and wanted to find a father for the same type of warships of the United States.

So time was wasted on the plan.

Therefore, the first-generation Dreadnought-class of the United States is a defective product, and the second-generation Delaware-class battleship is the real Dreadnought-class. The Delaware-class battleship has strengthened its firepower and added a main gun turret at the stern of the hull.

The ship is equipped with ten main guns, and the structure of the superstructure is cut to lower the center of gravity. The secondary guns are installed in the hull. The power system is improved. Among them, the North Dakota is modified to experimentally carry a steam turbine. The Federal Navy has upgraded the North Dakota and Florida class.

After studying the trial results of the battleship, it was believed that the endurance was insufficient, so he was hesitant to equip steam turbines and did not continue to use them on subsequent ships built.

As for how to actually build a ship, with Sheffield's basic shipbuilding knowledge, of course, we can only put forward the basic opinions of increasing the tonnage and thickening the artillery. The real parameters still need to be studied by the Frege brothers.

What can slave owners be responsible for? They can only be responsible for putting pressure on the federal government. "Our San Francisco was hit hard by a major earthquake. The federal government must provide appropriate support. Otherwise, the number of unemployed people in San Francisco will increase. It will cause social instability and require reconstruction."

It will definitely be a long time coming.”

The bulk of the reconstruction project is being carried out by umbrella companies. If the federal government does not provide certain policy support to California at this time, and something like an unfinished building really develops, then it must be that the federal government has not done its part.

This is equivalent to crying for you without giving me candy, but as the old saying goes, it's all about making money, don't shiver. Now the federal government attaches so much importance to the Pacific, if it doesn't take the opportunity to reach out, there will be no one after this village.

This is the store.

The midterm elections did not have a political impact on California. This center on the Pacific coast is increasingly in line with the definition of a deep blue state. Sheffield modestly said that this is all his own fault.

In the slave owner's plan, he only has two things to do this year: keep an eye on the signs of the financial crisis, sort out the current base of the Democratic Party, and fight for the national election to overthrow the Republican Party in the metropolitan area, so that he can taste the sweetness of collusion between government and businessmen.

.

That was part of the plan, and soon Sheffield received a phone call. This phone call showed that he was thinking a little simpler. The federal government once again mentioned the antitrust law investigation against Standard Oil. Sheffield had promised that if faced with antitrust laws,

Litigation, he must stand with the Rockefeller family.

"Are Edith Rockefeller's family and Alice Roosevelt's family fighting?" Sheffield hung up the phone and licked his lips and said to himself. He felt that this summary should be very appropriate.

Why does the government not interfere with the development of the private economy? Just to put it casually, is the Rockefeller Company a monopoly under the government plan? No, Rockefeller earned it through his own hard work. Are the products of the Rockefeller Company inferior in quality and high in price? No, Rockefeller

The company's products were of high quality at the time and were cheaper than their competitors, bringing many conveniences to consumers. However, the Rockefeller Company was eventually broken up by the Supreme Court.

The reason for the final split was also very simple. The Supreme Court believed that Rockefeller’s various behaviors of burning money and engaging in price wars would hinder the development of emerging companies. Although in the short term, low prices have brought benefits to consumers, in the long term, there is no competition.

The market will inevitably damage the overall welfare of the people.

In fact, United Company is also cutting costs and using low prices to prevent the birth of competitors. In fact, United Company is just fine for the time being. If the federal government wants to punish you, selling too cheap will also be the reason to punish you.

Don't look at the fact that the federal government is already a government that prefers big companies in this world. The common problems of other governments also exist in the federal government, but the symptoms are milder.

After being notified by Edith Rockefeller, Sheffield immediately rushed to Chicago, and then the two went to the Rockefeller Estate together. Edith Rockefeller said with some emotion, "My man is true to his word. He said he would stand with the Rockefeller family.

, came today.”

"Of course!" Sheffield said with a look of no hesitation. In fact, it seems that there are still a few years before Standard Oil is split up. According to history, the Rockefeller family once again withstood this antitrust law investigation, so they showed themselves

What does the position matter?

Having just arrived in New York, Sheffield went directly into the Rockefeller estate. After a day of in-depth talks, he finally understood the cause and effect of this time. Rockefeller Jr. said, "Because of the relationship between Northern Securities Company, it absolutely cannot be resolved through law. I have summoned the shareholders

We discussed and tried to set up obstacles to the investigation and at the same time win public opinion."

"No problem!" Sheffield said that he had received it. The next day, an article defending the Rockefeller family appeared in the New York Daily News. The content was that maintaining the stability of domestic energy prices at low prices would also become a problem for the Department of Justice.

What is the goal? Has the abuse of public power reached such an extent?
