Knowing that her husband regarded reputation as dirt, Anne did not dwell on this issue. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I believe Rodriguez's actions will greatly deter the opposition. The matter in Mexico will be over soon."

Yes, is that so?"

Sheffield closed his eyes and shook his head. "It's not that simple. One-fifth of the land in Mexico is in the hands of seventeen families. The land in Baja California is in the name of four people. There are 9.5 million landless farmers.

How can there not be problems in this situation? To be honest, the current situation in Mexico is actually the result of the development of our Southern Alliance. Using land as wealth and the winner takes all will eventually merge into a small number of large landowners to control the entire country.

country. It’s just that the Democrats have always been keen on expansion, hoping to raise the ceiling by grabbing territory and allowing more people to become estate owners. The conflicts at that time had not yet broken out. Once the expansion stops, sooner or later it will be like what Mexico is now."

Anne covered her red lips. She didn't expect Sheffield to say such words, and said cautiously, "Is it going to be like what Mexico is now? That's really a terrible thing. The result of the civil war doesn't seem to be the same.

Too bad."

"When did I say that the Confederacy's strategy was right?" Sheffield said with some humor. "Many Dixie people were dissatisfied, not because they thought the Confederate's development was correct, but because they were dissatisfied with the results. We won.

Can’t we engage in industry? Can’t we just be like the French Empire and give equal emphasis to industry and agriculture?”

In essence, this has nothing to do with which aspect is more just. The key is who wins! It is not without benefits for the Confederacy to win. Maybe the territory of the United States is larger than it is today. The Democrats have an extraordinary pursuit of territorial expansion and the speed of expansion.

It is so fast that it can be said that it has never happened before in history, and it is even faster than the expansion speed of Imperial Russia.

Comparing the current population and area of ​​Mexico, there should not be such a thing as peasant resistance. But of the total population of 13 million, nearly 10 million are landless farmers. It is strange that this ratio is not a problem. It should be larger than it has always been.

China, which has a lot of people but little land, is even more extreme. How can this be solved by Rodriguez's beautiful battle?

For Sheffield, the biggest gain is that the reactionaries he supports do not currently have the potential to be a transportation captain. They may not have the combat effectiveness of General Franco, but they are not someone like Diem either. This civil war in Mexico is still

Some are very big, and it is possible to fight for ten or eight years, on and off.

The chaos in Mexico will not end in a short time. Sheffield can maintain the necessary attention, prevent the invasion of illegal immigrants, and keep running the military industry.

Some domestic excrement workers say whatever they like, but in Sheffield's eyes, it's just some slaves called citizens chatting and just ignore it. Yes, in Sheffield's eyes, the United States is a standard modern country.

The slave country may not be modern enough, and it will take a hundred years for the United States to be complete.

However, this system is not perfect. The advantages of slaves are that they are cheap, have low human rights, and are easy to dispose of. Therefore, the United States recruits slaves from overseas provinces and allies to engage in low-end labor in the country. At the same time, many bankrupt local free people gradually

Become a slave. But the disadvantage of slavery is that under the fooling and oppression of slave owners, slaves not only belong to the elders personally, but also often become ignorant, weak, resentful and suspicious due to the negative effects of the environment.

Once the total number of slaves under the senators exceeds the total number of free citizens who are the cornerstone of the regime, the host-object dynamic will be reversed, and the ability of the consuls and the government to control the republic at the grassroots level will become extremely low. This makes the president want to balance the local area first

The interests and unified opinions of states, factory owners, farmers, financial industry capital, and hundreds of families then use social resources to persuade freedmen and drive slaves to implement a specific goal. In reality, it becomes a protracted matter.

Something that is even impossible to achieve.

Therefore, the United States has never been able to respond to emergencies. The two wars always came too late. In addition to watching the fire from the other side, there are also national conditions of the United States. It needs to slowly open up relations and form a consensus. As for a hundred years later, the inefficient

The problem has become more serious.

At present, the power of free people in the United States is still very strong, which is different from the slaves and tool owners a hundred years later. It can only be said that the citizens of the United States at the beginning of the century were still suspicious of the slave-owning class, which was not easy to fool. This is also easy to deal with, and we can deal with it with silence.

Just ignore it.

Sheffield took the time to convene a meeting of the United States Olympic Committee. This kind of organization that already has international influence must be treated with caution. Don't think that the other party does not dare to oppose you. Under normal circumstances, it is just that it does not dare to oppose you openly, but

It will definitely come out to disgust you at the right time.

Don't think that just because a country is powerful, it means you look down on these international organizations. Sheffield still remembers that FIFA insisted on handing over the hosting rights to Qatar when the United States enthusiastically requested to host the World Cup. This caused the United States to become angry and the FBI sent intelligence agents to investigate FIFA.

The corruption led to the removal of FIFA President Blatter.

Not long after, the U.S. soccer team was defeated by five South American soccer teams in the World Cup qualifiers. Even the world police cannot ignore the rules and owe so much dues to the World Health Organization, and still accuse them of owing money.

Naturally, the World Health Organization will not look down upon it either. This is a very simple reason.

The President just said that there is a specific drug, but the WHO accidentally released a draft document showing that the trial results of Remdesivir, hailed as the "American miracle drug" by some people, were negative, but the news was subsequently deleted. Reid

The stock price of Gilead Sciences, the R&D company of Xiwei, plummeted during the session, and its market value was reduced by one-tenth.

Even a lazy person like Sheffield took the time to convene a meeting of the United States Olympic Committee to express support for next year's Stockholm Olympics and at the same time discuss sponsorship matters. It is impossible not to make money. As the chairman of the United States Olympic Committee, Sheffield

There is a lot in common with Blatter a hundred years later, that is, if he is not in his position, he will not seek to govern.

Being cruel at home and forbearing at the outside is not the patent of slave owners. The Rockefeller family is very friendly to customers all over the world, and they give profits and donations, but they never have any good benefits for the citizens of the country. It is nothing more than having occupied the market and feeling confident.

This time, Rockefeller Jr. plans to spend another 10 million US dollars to express the kindness of the Rockefeller family around the world. The intensity far exceeds the amount of charity at home. How can this be justified?

Even if it reaches the status of monopoly capitalism, Sheffield believes that as long as he is a businessman, he has the original intention of being a comprador. It can be shown to the whole world that slave owners contribute money and effort without any ambiguity. As for domestically, he vowed never to do so.

True charity, this sentence has always been valid within the scope of the United States.

But nominal charity can still be done. For example, Coca-Cola is the designated drink of the United States Olympic Committee. It has the effect of enhancing immunity. Athletes with strong physiques say it is good, and this is recognized.

In a leisurely afternoon, Sheffield rested in a high-end cafe and chatted with Konstantinovich. The topic inevitably turned to the internal unrest in Mexico.

"William, there is news that your black gold armed forces have entered Mexico." Konstantinovich asked in a low voice.

"I have properties in many places in Mexico. Oh, and some of them belong to Standard Oil. What's the problem with the Black Gold Company moving in?" Stirring the coffee bit by bit with a spoon, Sheffield replied flatly, "Me too.

In order to protect your own industry from losses, isn't this okay? With your tone, people who don't know would think you are a Republican. You didn't consider stabbing you in the back before the election and quickly joining the Republican Party? Haha..."

As he spoke, Sheffield laughed, as if he thought his idea would be very interesting if it came true.

"William, be serious. I have something to tell you, but please don't spread it out." Konstantinovich's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he lowered his voice as if something big had happened.

Sheffield looked at the serious Konstantinovich and nodded solemnly. In this era without the CIA or the FBI, the Ministry of Justice is the most powerful department in the country. It is frightening.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice are the superiors that manage the IRS.

When Kennedy became president, he immediately appointed his brother as attorney general, which shows how much he attaches importance to the Ministry of Justice.

After looking at the surrounding situation with cryptic eyes, Konstantinovich said in an almost inaudible voice, "The president seems to have a disease in his head. It took him a long time to recover. Now he has some language difficulties."

He's having a stroke! Sheffield's face changed drastically. Isn't this a sign of a stroke? No wonder when he was in Texas recently, he felt that the federal government should express its attitude towards the unrest in Mexico, but he never heard an official statement. Even if

I'm used to the inefficiency of the United States, and this time is too unusual.

He had always been very proud of himself for promoting an unknown president. He had witnessed the changes in history that were beneficial to him, but he encountered this kind of thing.

A stroke is equivalent to a time bomb appearing in the head. No one knows when the next countdown will be. Sheffield unconsciously grinded his teeth, frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"

"It's been more than a month!" Konstantinovich said softly, "It has only been circulated in a small area in the White House, because the president's language skills are much worse than before."
