Chapter 622 The Union Army with a tidy military appearance
"Honey, look at my new Braj!" Natalia turned around in front of Sheffield, waiting for the slave owner's sweet words.
After looking at it carefully, Sheffield, who was not very good at complimenting, still made a surprised expression and praised, "Dress is very common, but it depends on who wears it. My Natalia can wear it."
You have a different kind of temperament. Ever since David Griffith saw you, he has always had the desire to have you appear on the big screen, but I didn't agree. Acting in movies is essentially for the purpose of becoming famous. What is the purpose of becoming famous?
It’s not just about money, it’s about benefiting society.”
"I have always been obedient." Natalia's face was solemn, saying that she had never had any dreams of becoming a star. She glanced at the telegram in the hands of the slave owner and asked, "It's a telegram to the Russian Empire.
Do you have business over there?"
"The French occupy the majority of the business in Imperial Russia, but do they have it? Yes, there are countries with people who have my industry!" Sheffield gave an ambiguous answer, and at the same time put away the telegram without leaving any trace.
It's not that she doesn't trust Natalia, but there are some things that don't need to be known to others, which will only cause trouble. The essence of the Allies is the German-Austrian alliance, and Italy is just an addition to it. The core of the Allied camp is the French-Russian alliance, and the British
The empire is definitely not an added bonus, but the Franco-Russian alliance is definitely more important.
In other words, the status within the Allied Powers was relatively equal. France and Russia were both land-based countries and were natural allies in dealing with Germany. The collapse of Imperial Russia in World War I probably made the French the saddest apart from the Imperial Russian nobles themselves.
Sad to be sad, it does not delay the fact that after the Cold War, France was in NATO, but it always flirted with the Soviet Union and acted in its own way.
The slave owners did not have a far-sighted vision that could extend beyond a few decades, but they had already made it clear that the Entente was not like the Allied Powers, with one giant and two bench players, but an equal military alliance.
This is very important. If World War II is coming soon, the French will never have the guts to seek their own interests without the British, not to mention the reasons for the Soviet system. France itself is also in decline!
However, the relatively equal relationship within the Allied Powers before World War I could be exploited. The French definitely had the courage to make the British suffer a hidden loss, especially to the east of Germany. Imperial Russia could also respond and cooperate from a distance. The British could treat a member of France
Adopt a tough attitude, but if the emperor is still there, the British will find their own way out.
This is the aura that comes with a country with a large population and a large area. Given that the Allied Powers are relatively equal and France is not in a weak position, the question arises, how can France and Russia cooperate?
Yesterday, Sheffield just received news that a French congressman named Philippe had successfully become the Speaker of the National Assembly. He had become a leading figure in the radical faction. If Sheffield remembers correctly, this was when Anne was in Paris, displaying her money-making ability.
One of my partners has established a pretty good revolutionary friendship through dirty money, and this connection can be activated.
As for Imperial Russia, Sheffield currently only knows that Rasputin is a pervert. If it is not too far away, he even wants to send a few Hollywood female stars to this magician.
"Aren't you the happiest working with the Germans?" Anne received the call from her husband, and after figuring out the whole story, she curled her lips and said, "I met him once. He was a complete pervert, but he was also very greedy in terms of power, my dear.
, you can tell by looking at his behavior after the Italian-Turkish war broke out after he returned to China, there is no need to make a special call to ask."
"Mainly, I have nothing to do with France. If I promote this cooperation in my own name, it may seem very strange. This is not in line with my low-key business style. How can I, a well-established person, expose obvious flaws?
?" Sheffield held the microphone and crossed his legs and said, "As long as you are a capitalist, you will have some weakness in your body. I can strike hard at the domestic assholes and show the style of a monopoly capitalist, but when it comes to other countries,
, I still have to be more cautious, the French don’t know who I am, and if they really want to deal with me, it will make me uncomfortable.”
When meeting different ethnic groups, you need to show different attitudes, and you have to wait and see before you can prescribe the right medicine.
"I understand, the impression that French politicians have of you is just a stupid rich man with a lot of money. They don't know you, so you naturally have no influence. I will contact the politicians in Paris in my name, and you can directly tell the plan
Just send it over. Leave everything to me!" Anne crooked her neck, holding the microphone between her legs, and signed her name on the funding for base construction in Goa.
"It's my wife, and I'm so proud to be married to a French nobleman." Sheffield quickly used his sharp tongue and was about to start licking, but a sentence came from the microphone, "I'm busy, my dear!"
Just the hang up sound...
Sheffield held the phone and was stunned for a moment. He sighed and went out for a walk. Women all over the United States loved him, but his wife was so blessed that she didn't know how to be blessed. This happened.
In his spare time, the slave owner could only talk to David Griffith to discuss how to whitewash the Confederate position in propaganda. In his view, this was a very important matter, because the rise of the Republican Party was related to Lincoln.
"We must find a way to downplay the issue of black slaves in the Civil War. We should find a way to imply that at that time, the southern states were not seeking independence, but defending the Constitution. This is very important!" Sheffield whispered to David.
Griffith said, "The Republican Party cannot be allowed to take Lincoln's words that put him on the altar deeply into the hearts of the people, especially on the slave issue. Now think about it during President Wilson's term, it is very appropriate to do this. It has not been like this in recent decades.
A good opportunity will be difficult to find in the future.”
Regarding Lincoln's contribution, Sheffield felt that there must be an official definition. Just relying on self-talk and packaging is not enough, because once the economy stabilizes, white left thought will emerge, which is inevitable.
The harmonious system of the United States has basically zero effect in preventing micro-circulation. Lincoln must have an official statement to clarify what exactly he did and in what areas he made basically no achievements.
"If it causes a heated debate, given the current political environment, it will actually be beneficial to us Dixie people." Sheffield lowered his voice, "Just shoot boldly, and I will be responsible for anything that happens."
Slave owners believed that the most important thing was not to conceal the purpose of the southern states and to emphasize that private property could not be infringed. The entire property of countless citizens was just a few black people who helped farm the land.
"Boss, these can all be expressed in a secret way. The next part of your filming is the part where the Texas Legion is established. I currently lack extras." David Griffith said with some embarrassment.
He said, "The investment in this shooting was huge, which made me unable to support it."
"This is also a problem!" Sheffield took out a cigar, knocked it and put it back. There was no embarrassment on his face at all. He just forgot to bring the cigar cutter again and said, "This was the league back then.
National University Headquarters, tomorrow I will ask someone to appeal in the newspaper, and then you can just take a look, I'm afraid you don't have enough space."
Sheffield doesn't know much about big scenes. He has watched the Liberation of the Soviets series and the Armageddon series of the Republic. The standard is lower and it doesn't need to be so grand, but it is still not a problem to get enough people.
Now Sheffield is preparing to teach David Griffith and these actors who came here from Hollywood a good lesson. Can you be a slave master without two brushes?
"I'm going to prepare a prop gun!" David Griffiths said as he was about to stand up, but Sheffield reached out to stop him, "No, it's quite expensive. I have a lot of real guns in my manor. I can send them to you when the time comes.
It’s just that I can’t fire bullets. As for the military uniforms, it might be a big problem to find someone else, but I also have them, so it won’t take much time.”
The news that a large number of extras were needed for a movie set during the Civil War was known to the citizens of New Orleans the next day, and soon became the focus of heated discussions on the streets.
For many citizens, the movie is not actually very important, but the background of the Civil War is very important, enough to arouse heated discussions in the city. More news is revealed. The movie requires the appearance of a large number of Union soldiers, and it requires the appearance of a large number of Union soldiers of similar age.
The men went to the northern suburbs to gather.
After hearing this news, even many elderly people could not sit still. Even if they could not be actors, it would be good even if they wanted to see the military appearance of the Southern Army. Many elderly people were refreshed with memories deep in their hearts.
New Orleans was very crowded on this day. Many citizens walked out of their homes and headed to the northern suburbs. The citizens of New Orleans actually had complaints in their hearts. Before the Civil War, this was the largest city in the South. From a national perspective, it was as good as anyone except New York.
The bridge over the Mississippi River, crowded people heading north, in addition to many citizens who have been in this city for many years, there are also new citizens who have just settled again. People like to watch the excitement, and they also want to see the spectacular war scenes
.
The weather was good that day. The airship took off and the photographers on it were already in place. Countless private armed forces from various estates gathered here. They put on military uniforms and transformed into soldiers of the Confederate States of America decades ago.
"I have strictly inspected every gun. There are absolutely no bullets. The bayonets have been loaded and are shining brightly." Jesla said while looking at the boss who was changing clothes.
