This matter should be settled before the election. When it comes to another country, things are always more complicated. But Sheffield feels that the future is still very optimistic. Ordinary citizens often have simple patriotism when dealing with foreigners.

, they hope that the country will be as strict with foreigners as possible, but the opposite will be true for its own citizens.

But the country, as an entity of a governing body, is almost completely opposite to the expectations of the citizen class. Diplomacy is no small matter. This is the real national situation. When the country bombards other countries indiscriminately, the benefits are not reflected back to the citizens.

The citizens will have to bear all the negative consequences it brings.

Sheffield almost immediately invited Thyssen Associates and important members of the Krupp family to come to the United States for a trip. Of course, in the telegram, they still stated their willingness to deepen cooperation. In the midst of an economic crisis, the bosses of major companies

They are quite busy. Simply traveling is not enough to make them visit their humble home despite their busy schedule.

The United Company is in the stage of absorbing nutrients from other people's corpses. Although the overall situation of the country's economy is declining, the Concern Group, the second largest in the world, is bucking the trend and rushing to the top.

Anne is taking care of everything in Arlington. The family has traditionally been very friendly to women, allowing the hostess to be happy and busy. This is actually quite good. At least Sheffield doesn't have to worry about his son becoming a mother's baby for the time being.

"Where's my son? Don't be too busy. Pay more attention to him when you have time." Sheffield was not in Arlington either. He thought to himself that Anne should not just dote on the child for three minutes, so he said this on the phone.

"Alexander is very obedient. He doesn't cry or make trouble. He is a man. He is much better than you." Anne couldn't hide her excitement when she mentioned her son, which extended the call by half the time.

Sheffield and Anne's son, whose full name is William Alexander, Sheffield. He didn't like that his son, like many people of this era, grew up to be called Sheffield II or Little Sheffield. When he first came up with the name, Sheffield

Field suggested a domineering name, and the name Anne gave was indeed very domineering: Caesar Sheffield.

This name was too unlucky in Sheffield's eyes, so she might as well call her Augustus, which would at least be a first step. Anne said that it would be fine to call her Augustus, and she thought there was no problem. After discussion, she decided on a common name.

Only then did the competition for naming rights end.

"Okay, there's nothing going on. You should also pay attention to rest." Sheffield hung up the phone, and Natalia, who had been hugging the man like a koala, pouted, "They can all help you.

I am the only one with nothing to do but hope that you will come back soon."

"That's right!" Sheffield raised his head slightly, letting Natalia's hair rub against his face, and said softly, "Let me see what is suitable for you to do, why don't you get down to business first?"

"Okay, I want to have a baby too." Natalia twisted her waist, full of eagerness to give birth, which meant from the inside out that I was ready.

New Orleans, the largest city in the South, has been fully rejuvenated and seems to have not been affected by the overall international economic downturn. This raises the question of who the coast faces. The South faces a group of banana republics, which is stronger.

That is, Venezuela and Colombia.

Normally this is not an advantage, but in terms of dominance there is no doubt. Sheffield understands the truth that you have to pick the weakest persimmons. The domestic market is difficult, and they are intensifying their efforts to squeeze out the oil and water from these banana republics. It is not facing them.

European countries, small countries on our doorstep, can still make a huge difference.

In fact, Sheffield has been paying attention to whether the crackdown on miners in Arizona will eventually lead to thunderstorms. It seems that there are no signs of it at present. This is because the judicial review process in the United States is based on the "presumption of innocence". Therefore, every criminal suspect

People are considered innocent after being arrested. No matter whether the police or agents, they cannot torture them. They can only collect evidence bit by bit to convict them. There is no doubt that in this seemingly democratic situation,

Under the judicial review process, the truly powerful gangs have room to survive. No matter how big the case is, even if the president is assassinated, as long as the case is done cleanly and the police are not allowed to obtain real evidence, then

The villains never have to worry about anything.

Gangsters can live well under this legal system, and well-known entrepreneurs like Sheffield will certainly have no problems. Precisely because of legal problems, assassination and suicide are popular in the United States as the last resort.

It's very logical. Our country, the United States, has its own national conditions.

A paradise for the rich, the United States is not a beacon of humanity? Who is a beacon of humanity? As for the filth hidden under the prosperity, who cares? Anyway, Sheffield doesn't care, he still has to have a good talk with the distinguished German guests, so he has no time

Pay attention to such small things.

Among those who crossed the Atlantic and came to the United States, there was another name that Sheffield could remember, Gustav Krupp.

Friedrich Alfred Krupp, the second-generation president of the Krupp Company, committed suicide after his homosexuality scandal was exposed in the press, leaving only one daughter, Berta Krupp. Because people believed that Krupp

It was unbelievable that the weapons empire was controlled by a young woman. In the end, Kaiser Wilhelm II personally selected a husband for the young Beta, and finally chose the Prussian diplomat Gustav von Bohlen Onder Halbach. They had a close relationship with each other.

After getting married two years ago, the emperor approved Gustav to take the Krupp surname.

This is a standard political marriage. Of course, political marriage does not necessarily have an emotional basis. Since there is such a term as long-term love, it must be reasonable for this term to appear. Otherwise, why are there so many adulterers in the world?

Due to their common experiences, such as abandoning dignity to a certain extent and carrying forward with heavy burdens, Sheffield felt that he and Gustave should have a common language, and they could communicate in private on how to make the best of themselves in the face of adversity.

A strong woman becomes as gentle as water.

"Hello, Fritz, Gustav, it's such a surprise to come to New Orleans." Sheffield greeted the two important people among the guests, making them look very familiar at first sight.

In addition to Gustav, the other person in charge of the Thyssen family was Fritz Thyssen. When Fritz was practicing basic operations as an apprentice, the old Thyssen had the lowest requirements for him than anyone with the lowest status in the company.

All the apprentices were demanding, and he tried his best to obstruct his son's marriage. However, the son's wedding was held as scheduled, and the couple eventually grew old together. The father and son often quarreled over the company's development direction.

Originally, Fritz Thyssen had a younger brother who could be a competitor, but like many German father-son relationships in this era, Fritz Thyssen's younger brother eventually ended up having an affair with his father because he wanted to live a European aristocratic life.

The court, as expected, showed that old age is better than old age, and Thyssen Associates was directly handed over to Fritz Thyssen.

If there is anything we can learn from Thyssen Associates, it is that when you have many sons, you must be careful about the struggle for power and profit caused by the excellence of several sons. However, this problem has been solved by the Rockefeller family of the United States. In the future, we will follow the example of the Rockefeller family.

Just study.

Sheffield was very enthusiastic about Gustav and joked, "The Queen of Artillery finally fell into your hands. I believe Gustav must have extraordinary strengths. United Company has cooperated with many German companies for a long time.

When you come to my place, you can treat it as your own home.”

"Mr. William is definitely looking for something when he comes to us. Although a relaxed life is very desirable, every country has its own problems now. If there is really something serious, we should talk about business first." Gustaf Ke

Lupp was very calm and went straight to the topic before Sheffield could speak.

"Well, they are indeed Germans." Sheffield didn't actually want to say the word rigorous. Ordinary citizens can label other ethnic groups, but as a high-ranking voter, he knew that it was just a means of domination.

Any label serves a certain purpose. Comparison means comparing one's own strengths with the weaknesses of others, and never the other way around. Who would compare the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Achaemenid Dynasty of Persia? It is acceptable to compare Qin to Macedonia.

In Sheffield's eyes, there is no difference between ordinary citizens and those colonial ethnic groups. If there is any difference, some methods that are afraid of international influence cannot be used on colonial ethnic groups, and they have no concern for domestic citizens.

"During this economic crisis, many of my friends and I were worried about the sales of agricultural and animal husbandry products." Sheffield finally stated his purpose, which was to hope that the German Empire could establish a grain reserve system and provide such

Of course, it’s best to reserve it for yourself. If you don’t give it to yourself, it’s best not to build it.

Fritz Thyssen and Gustav Krupp looked at each other and fell into thinking. Fritz Thyssen asked directly, "Mr. William, is this a unilateral request?"

"Of course not, it's just an exchange of interests." How dare Sheffield make unilateral demands on the German Empire? America's biological father, the British Empire, would not make such demands. He said, "What is international trade? A country cannot

It is possible to do everything well. The United States has shortcomings, and the German Empire also has shortcomings. We make up for each other's weaknesses, and this is win-win cooperation."
