It has been initially decided to transform container terminals at the ports of the three coastal cities of New York, Houston and New Orleans. As for the steel and cement required, the joint company can produce them, so it is not a technical problem.

No matter how we go around it, as long as it is shipping, New York's status as a metropolis cannot be bypassed. This is not a question of whether the slave owners like it or not. They have to do it even if they don't like it. As for New Orleans, as the largest city in the South, it can still be integrated.

The river transportation of the Mississippi River is connected with inland water transportation to form a domestic transportation network.

Houston joined in because the resources are nearby, and Houston is the best port for exporting oil. This requires a large amount of investment and construction. Fortunately, as a billionaire, Sheffield still owes 100 million, otherwise there will be consequences.

Unimaginable.

Now the United Company not only got back all the upfront investment, but also made a huge profit. In fact, it can pay back the money. However, things must be prioritized. If these creditors get the money back, if the investment fails, that is

The danger of losing all your money can be avoided by placing it with the slave owner.

Unless Arlington is approached in person to speak, it proves that these creditors are still in no hurry to pay back their money.

There are many advantages in ocean transportation: First, the transportation volume is large. Packing the scattered goods to be transported in boxes in advance facilitates mechanized loading and unloading, which greatly shortens the time for the ship to berth in the port and the time for the goods to be stored in the warehouse, speeding up

The speed of cargo transportation reduces transportation costs; the unified box specifications can load more goods on ships of the same volume, which increases the transportation volume. The second is to reduce the damage of items. Container loading and unloading can ensure that the freight is intact and can almost completely eliminate items.

consumption, greatly reducing damage and compensation.

Containers can be used multiple times, and can reduce packing and unpacking costs and freight costs, which is beneficial to customers. Fourth, reduce operating expenses and transportation costs. Since the loading and unloading of containers is basically not affected by harsh weather, the ship is unproductive

The berthing time is shortened, and due to the high loading and unloading efficiency, the loading and unloading time is shortened. For the shipping company, it can increase the navigation rate and reduce the ship transportation cost. For the port, it can increase the berth throughput capacity, thereby increasing throughput.

If there are any difficulties, it is doubtful whether the current transportation tools can withstand the emergence of containers, but there is no problem at the port alone, and there is no problem at all when large-scale loading and unloading machinery operates containers.

The times have limited the scope of Sheffield's activities. Contacts with Europe cannot be like at home. Sheffield can go there at any time to see with his own eyes, and can only communicate through telegraphs.

Is Europe's largest port now Hamburg or Kiel? Sheffield can't help but be ashamed of his status as a senior German fan, and he has forgotten this basic knowledge, but if he remembers correctly, Europe's largest port should already be in the hands of the Germans

. In Europe, Germany's tendency to catch up has become more and more obvious. This is not wrong.

"I still prefer the pure life of a manor owner!" Seeing Sheffield's unkind gaze, Gale, who knew he was in the wrong, smiled awkwardly as soon as he appeared, making excuses for his attitude towards life.

"Puerto Rico is good for you." Sheffield said angrily, "Everything must be done in moderation. Let's talk about the Republican Party's criticism of the tariff reduction bill. I wonder if you have any ideas."

Sheffield had no choice but to explain the current situation directly and let Gale, who claimed to be able to deal with ten or eight congressmen at any time, personally take action.

.

"That's it, there's no problem, it's all for the benefit of all of us." Gale yawned, "I'm their important friend, and communication between friends is always very smooth. If you don't agree to my conditions, let's

They can’t even cry. Let me tell you, look at Paul’s serious appearance in Congress, but he actually likes black people. He said that black women have tight skin. This pervert specifically picks out little girls.”

Gale shook his head and spoke. When he looked up, Sheffield was already far away. He sighed, "What a boring person. Your life is not as good as before. At that time, you could at least kidnap French nobles back to your country."

There are two major parties in the country, which is a good thing in a sense. It saves Gale a lot of time. In front of Congressman Paul's house, Gale sat in the car and felt sorry for himself. As a member of the community where the Congressman lives, he still spent a lot of time.

He came in as a young man, and the money he spent bribing the community should be reimbursed by the slave owner.

After waiting for a long time, he saw Paul's car slowly approaching. Gale got out of the car. Just a glance made the distinguished congressman who had just got off work change his color. How could he not help but wonder who the other party was.

Gale stood stiffly in front of the yard door, nodding with a smile. Although his health was not as good as in previous years, his eyesight was not damaged. He saw the congressman's car slowly stopping. Under the driver's doubtful eyes, Gale looked at

The congressman who got off the car gave a long-awaited hug, "Oh my friend, it's been a long time, almost half a year, how are you?"

"This is my friend, you go back first." Paul ordered the driver without changing his expression. He waited until the car left before asking, "Why are you here? Aren't you always in Puerto Rico?"

"It's a long story, and we need to find a place to talk about it." Gale looked embarrassed, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, indicating that he gave up his career and came to Washington, so naturally he had something important to do.

.

To be honest, who in this country can make him go out to do things with just one sentence? Except for the slave owner who welcomed him back to the country, there is no such person. On the one hand, Sheffield was very concerned about his return.

The country expressed its welcome and at the same time helped to gain a foothold, which made many people who fell into the trap again in Brazil grateful.

Another point is the strong strength shown by Sheffield himself. Unlike McHale who was dissatisfied and always wanted to prove something, Gale was very open-minded. After most people moved to Brazil after the Civil War, others stayed at the beginning.

There is no such thing as catching up anymore. They are just giant companies in the southern states, so why are you dissatisfied?

McHale can't catch up even if he studies behind him. Why should he be so tired and find some easy way of life to make money? It can't be said that it is wrong. McHale is high-spirited and Gale can't say it is wrong of course, but setting up a person who can't catch up can't be said.

He will not agree with the goal.

Take the industries under the United Company as an example. They have formed a self-sufficient closed loop, and they are also colluding with other giant companies such as Standard Oil. There is no way to do it domestically alone. The black gold companies stationed in overseas strongholds

Transportation companies are like a cancer growing in the heart of this country.

The Black Gold Transport Company alone is similar to the development trajectory of the East India Company. With the United Company's domestic support, how can it compete?

Gale kept a poker face and said nothing, which made Paul feel anxious. As a member of parliament, he felt that it was a bit hasty for him to follow him. What if someone wanted to harm him? These people with obvious black backgrounds should not be messed with.

He even regretted his mistake and begged God for forgiveness.

The desperate look in the black girl's eyes has now turned into regret medicine and impacted her soul. At this moment, the car heard the news, and Paul came to the land where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. The sun was about to set and cast its afterglow. It was not dazzling but was very comfortable.

Paul walked down tremblingly, and Gale couldn't help but laugh and said, "My friend, I just came here to see the scenery, but you seem a little nervous?"

"Gail, if something happens, we can talk about it very honestly." Paul said with a solemn expression.

Look at this sanctimonious scene? Gale lit a cigarette and took a puff, "It's not a big deal in the first place. Just find a casual occasion to chat. It's too formal, right? This is not Puerto Rico, and I didn't do anything for it."

You prepare."

After tapping the other party with words, Gale went straight to the topic and said, "Actually, Washington has been quarreling over the issue of tariffs recently, right? In fact, why are you Republicans so stubborn? Judging from the number of seats in Congress now,

If Mr. President wants to implement a new tariff policy, what can you do? Now we are just talking about some superficial unity. What qualifications do you have to oppose?"

Gale's words were somewhat rude, especially to Republican congressmen, but they are true.

"So you are from the Democratic Party?" After hearing this, Paul first felt that he had been trapped.

Gale flicked the cigarette butt and shook his finger and said, "You can't say that. We are serious businessmen and have the same respect for both parties. It's just that I have a very important friend who is very concerned about the new tariff bill. So.

I just came to Washington this time to talk to some friends in the network. You are just the first one, and there are some other gentlemen I will talk to in the next few years. To be honest, with our friendship, this matter should not be difficult.

Bar?"

Looking at Gale's burning gaze, Paul coughed softly and said in deep thought, "It's actually not difficult. As you said, the Democratic Party can actually pass this resolution and make it easier for everyone to step down."

"Why don't you tell me, Mr. Paul, why you have become a widely respected member of parliament?" A trace of contempt flashed in Gale's eyes, and he said flatly, "This kind of precise judgment alone is surprising enough. We can

We have become long-term friends. The prosperity and beaches of Puerto Rico are still waiting for you, Congressman Paul. In fact, the local prosperity is inseparable from you Congressmen. Without funding from Congress, what do the locals eat? You have some special requirements, which are completely reasonable.
