Chapter 610 Enver's request

There is no doubt that this is a demonstration. Sheffield has no overall view, but is a bit petty. He agrees with what Overlord Xiang Yu said about walking at night in brocade clothes. When he has the upper hand, he likes to show his strength appropriately.

"Thank you Mr. Roosevelt for your testimony. From today on, we don't need endless competition. We are all the most well-known companies in the United States. Everything can be discussed." Sheffield smiled at Roosevelt.

He opened his mouth and said that this was a preliminary convergence. Although it was just the beginning, the slave owner believed that no one could stop this trend.

For Theodore Roosevelt, this election ended his political career. Shortly after the election, a friend went to visit him to discuss the possibility of him being elected president four years later. Roosevelt said: "You are such a good person.

Can politicians still not see through this? The struggle is over and we have failed. The only thing to do now is to return to the Republican Party. A party like the Progressive Party cannot survive. We are out of ammunition and have no source of funds."

This is a very clear truth. You can’t use your prestige to survive one election. The electoral system of the United States requires massive financial support. No big company will put its weight on a company that is dedicated to causing trouble for big companies.

As for the candidates, this election can be said to be a surprise attack by Roosevelt. There will be no next time and there will never be another.

Future elections are a matter for the Democratic and Republican parties, not for deviant spoilers like Roosevelt.

For Sheffield, it is certainly a good thing that Roosevelt has returned to the citizenry. Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. naturally think so. Nothing is more important than the establishment of United General Company. For some people, United General

The significance of GM's restructuring even exceeds this election.

"My dear, you can only say that you didn't suffer. The two of them did take advantage." Anne held her husband's arm and gave her own opinion on this reorganization.

"Like this kind of reorganization, who suffers and who takes advantage cannot be measured by simple numbers. If I can use the money to do more things, then I will not suffer. I personally think that time is on my side.

Sheffield stopped and said, "The situation may change in four years, and it may be the same in eight years. All predictions made now are inaccurate."

The most urgent thing before the slave owners is to repay the money. The United Company has hundreds of millions of foreign debts. This is a fact that Anne also knows. You can only pay back the interest first, but you must not intend to default on the debt.

At the same time, there is also the business adjustment of the United Company, and preparations for war can actually start from now on. The name is also ready, and conflicts in Mexico are still endless, which is a very good excuse.

Of course, arms business adjustments must be made as soon as possible. A basic fact is that by the time something happens, it will be too late to prepare. If a world war breaks out, it will definitely cost a lot of extra money to acquire the raw materials needed by the military industry.

, Slave owners are very smart, and they are not stupid. So many countries have become one pot of porridge, and they still supply raw materials at peacetime prices?

Opening up the entire industrial chain may seem a bit greedy, but it is something that must be done.

Of course, while doing all this, Sheffield did not forget to express congratulations to the new President Wilson. In fact, Wilson himself did not have high prestige in the Democratic Party, but this is all in the past. From this time on becoming president, there will be no change within the Democratic Party.

There are doubts about Wilson's prestige, and most people judge heroes based on success or failure.

When a good result occurs, everything this person does can be understood as having profound meaning, and in turn, he is the culprit of destroying the environment. Sheffield believes that Chen Youliang, the king of Han in the late Yuan Dynasty, can best prove this.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, before the Yuan Dynasty army in the north started fighting among themselves, they wiped out the Yuan army of the northern uprising army. Many people were so frightened that even Emperor Hongwu lowered his head. Only one person carried the Yuan army's siege and suppressed the rebellion to the end.

, this person is Chen Youliang.

But so what in the end? Sometimes the results are really important. Most people just applaud the focus of history and do not have the ability to influence history.

No matter how Wilson won, he is now the next president and a good friend of all citizens of the United States, including big business.

Including Sheffield, together with the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, never expected to be completely exempt from the control of antitrust laws. It was not the law that they opposed, and they did not expect the right to stay out of the matter. I just hope that the federal government will not cause trouble for our core business.

.

Sue Standard Oil, but don’t sue the oil business. Blame the Morgan family, but don’t blame Wall Street. These are all acceptable accusations. If public opinion insists on this, everyone is willing to divest some businesses and give an explanation to the citizenry.

This is all based on the willingness of large companies to cooperate, but the real core business of the federal government must not be touched.

This is Roosevelt's current situation. Slave owners do not appreciate Roosevelt's mantis-like behavior. Sooner or later, the United States will become a playground for big companies. Always using antitrust laws to cause trouble for big companies is tantamount to

Going against the trend of history, forcing Roosevelt to withdraw from politics was already a good deal, but it did not make him follow in the footsteps of Lincoln and Kennedy.

Not only should Roosevelt not be resentful, but should be grateful. Don't think that Sheffield is bullying others. Judging from the news feedback in recent days, Roosevelt has already figured it out.

The nominal richest man in the United States has changed again. After the news of the reorganization of United General Motors was made public, Sheffield finally became the current richest man, not quite as expected.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Although they are not very willing in their hearts, this is a fact that all citizens of the United States know. So Sheffield’s solution is to pay back the money quickly and use the cash received from the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family to repay the previous

To borrow money, this task was left to Anne to complete.

Deep down in their hearts, slave owners would leave it to their wives to do things that would earn them gratitude. As well as Evelyn and Natalia, the backgrounds of these women cannot be compared with the families of Edith Rockefeller and Louisa Morgan.

.Contacts are what they lack most, so it is more appropriate to be thanked by many southern families for this matter.

Anne also knew her husband's intentions and tried her best to take advantage of this opportunity to establish the prestige of the Mistress of Arlington.

In Oak Manor, Sheffield welcomed a guest, an envoy from Enver Pasha. The envoy, wearing an Ottoman-style hat, came to Oak Manor to express his intention, hoping to get help from the United Company.

"Enver Pasha is now commanding the battle in North Africa. Facing the attack of the Italian army, he hopes to get help from William Pasha. The great Sultan also urgently needs some support."

"My friend, essentially as the Pasha of the Kewell Territory, I should naturally help." Sheffield said with some embarrassment, "But although the United Company is a large-scale enterprise, it is still a

Enterprise, the situation is different now. The Italian navy has blocked the Mediterranean, and British-controlled Egypt does not allow the Ottoman army to transit. What should I do? There is nothing I can do about this situation."

According to the news Sheffield received from the Rome branch, the current situation is not bad at all. Except for the last ambush battle between the Ottoman army and the Italian army, there has been no movement for another month.

Of course, the situation is indeed unfavorable to the Ottomans. The war broke out in an enclave and the Ottoman army could not support it. Now many Ottoman ministers hope that Sheffield can solve this problem.

I have to say that I overestimated William Pasha. The slave owners had a large number of transport ships, which could be said to be extremely professional in transporting manpower, but the transport ships could not be used by the navy. Could it be that the Black Gold Company was allowed to withstand the blockade of the Italian Navy and help

Did the Ottoman Empire use soldiers to reach North Africa? This is simply unrealistic.

"I fully understand Enver Pasha's difficulties, but there is nothing I can do about it." Sheffield said thoughtfully, but did not refuse forcefully. Enver Pasha was the leader of the Ottoman pro-German faction.

After serving as the military attaché in Germany for three years, Enver was deeply impressed by the efficiency and organization of the Germans, and he became pro-Germany from then on. He said: Turkey belongs to the Turks, but it needs German help. Enver put Turkey's fate in line with Germany's

Tie together.

At the same time, he was also anti-Russian. Anti-Russian is of course one of the many stories of bullying in this era. Rostkovsky, the Russian consul in Monastir, met a Turkish gendarme on the street because the gendarme did not salute him well.

, so he whipped the gendarme. The gendarme couldn't bear it and shot the consul to death on the spot. Enver was responsible for handling the matter. The arrogant attitude of the Russian diplomat made Enver feel humiliated. Under the coercion of the Russian Empire, the court ignored Enver

Despite his objections, the gendarme was sentenced to death. Enver was also ordered to accompany imperial Russian diplomats to attend the execution.

The pro-German and anti-Russian Enver Pasha was an important factor in the Ottoman Empire finally joining the Allies. Although there are rumors that the Germans adopted a tacitly conniving attitude towards Italy's invasion of North Africa, there is no evidence in public after all. If conditions permit,

If so, Sheffield really wants to help this pro-German leader.
