The Ottoman Empire fell into the hands of the pro-German faction, which made the slave owners who did not mind the excitement overjoyed. However, they could not show it in front of their wives. They could only unconscionably denounce the shamelessness of the Germans and pretend to be senior German fans.

"Dear, can you help the United Company gain a foothold in Hanoi?" Sheffield carefully squeezed Anne's little feet with a very humble attitude, just like how difficult it is for emerging imperialism to face old imperialism.

"Aren't you doing a good job in Manila?" Annie asked a little puzzled, "Why do you think of Vietnam again?"

"Who would dislike the fact that they are exploiting so few people? Just exploiting domestic citizens alone is a billion-dollar business at best. If we want our industry to develop and grow, some things will happen sooner or later." Sheffield lamented, "

I will never give up any efforts that can lead to internationalization. In fact, the more international you are, the more at ease you will be. In terms of domestic development, it is impossible for you to have an easier time than Edith and Louisa, but internationalization is.

That’s not the case anymore. You are a descendant of French nobles, and you can use this status to do business in the vast French colonies.”

"This is the reason why I have always supported you in establishing connections in French political circles. It will ultimately be good for you."

As a matter of conscience, the slave owner's words definitely come from his heart. Anne is his legal wife, and he also hopes that his wife will live a more comfortable life. Anne can also understand this painstaking effort.

The beneficiaries of the current international situation are Britain and France, and we cannot just show favor to either of them. If anything goes wrong, the joint company may suffer huge losses.

Anne felt that her husband meant to share risks. According to the consistent view of the United States diplomatic community, this is called sharing of interests. Putting part of the internationalization efforts in the French colonies can indeed enhance the status of Lady Anne. With a strong

The mother country is able to deal with women from two extremely wealthy families in the United States with ease.

But this is not simple. At least now, Anne has not discovered the benefits of investing in Vietnam. She asked, "Although sharing the benefits is a good thing, the Philippines is controlled by the federal government. The conditions are not better than those in Vietnam."

"Now the Chinese in the Philippines have accounted for one-third of the local indigenous people, which is a hidden danger. In fact, the Governor of the Philippines has also been vigilant and has begun to restrict the inflow of Chinese. But I think it may not have much effect." Sheffield said solemnly.

"There are still risks, but it is easier for Vietnam, at least culturally, to resist their northern neighbors," he said.

"Of course, we will do our best to cut off the ties between these Southeast Asian Chinese and the motherland. But at the same time, we must also be prepared for the next stop. Vietnam is a good next stop."

As for standing on the opposite side of the vast majority of Chinese people, the slave owner sees no problem. He is a legal citizen of the United States, and of course he has his own national stance. He will not travel thousands of miles to be an internationalist fighter wearing a white coat. With Sheffield's current situation

In terms of position, he already has too many opposites.

However, the Philippines does not necessarily have to have conflicts in the future. As long as the Chinese businessmen supported by the United Company act as compradors honestly, both parties will destroy the country of the Philippines. The United Company will take the big head, and these Chinese businessmen will take the small head. It will be harmonious.

The relationship will always last.

If these Chinese businessmen want to rebel one day, there are many ways. Just the slogan that the Philippines is the Filipino people's own country can solve many problems.

"It's better to say that you are greedy and want any market. You have reached out to the French colonies!" Anne exposed her husband's hypocrisy. However, she was also a beneficiary of the expansion of the joint company, so she nodded and said, "With the help of North Africa,

, plus the contracts between French India and Portuguese India, Paris should give me some face."

"I want to hold the entire earth in my hands like an octopus, forever. Anyone who doesn't let me do this is my enemy. Even if we are a company in the United States, I will bankrupt it."

The wife accused him of greed, but the slave owner did not refute but readily admitted that this was his dream.

There is no need to hide this idea of ​​having to shit on someone else's head. There is nothing to hide. Just do it! It's just that this time United Company is the pioneer.

As for what Anne said, don't have too much hope. Vietnam is a strange place after all, and it may take a long time to establish connections. Sheffield said indifferently, "If you are referring to local Vietnamese,

If so, there would be no problem for companies from the United States to move in. Our country’s reputation is very good, at least better than the reputation of colonial empires. And it can be seen from Haiti and Colombia that when people anywhere face an enemy, they will instinctively choose to make friends at a distance and attack at home.

.”

The United States is far away from the mainland of Vietnam, and although the reputation of the United States as a beacon of mankind has faded slightly due to the Spanish-American War, it is still very shining overall. Another idea that represents the future of mankind is still being nurtured in the huge land of Imperial Russia.

, will not compete with the United States for the position of human beacon for the time being.

The country has a good reputation and is far away, so at least this matter will not arouse the resentment of the local Vietnamese, which is 100%. Sheffield even knew that Vietnam historically resisted French aggression and even took the initiative to contact the federal government.

Japan had just surrendered after World War II, and on the day of Vietnam’s declaration of independence, there were several details worth noting: First, Ho Chi Minh specifically chose to arrive at the venue in an American car. Second, he invited as many people as he could.

American guests attended the ceremony. Third, the speech began with memorizing a large section of the American Declaration of Independence. Fourth, the core theme throughout the entire article, "Give me liberty or give me death", came from Henry's famous speech on the eve of the American War of Independence.

.

The Viet Minh's performance impressed all the Americans present. On the contrary, the Viet Minh kept a distance from its partners in the same camp. This led Moscow to long-term belief that Vietnam had the potential of Yugoslavia. It was not until they were bewitched by Eastern comrades that they began to treat Vietnam after the start of the Vietnam War.

Before the United States took over from France, North Vietnam had long wanted the United States to help them unify their country, and the idea of ​​leasing Cam Ranh Bay predates the establishment of the North Vietnamese government.

As for why the United States gave up the Viet Minh's overtures, the countries involved in Vietnam include France and Chang Gong's Republic of China government, both of which are more valuable than Vietnam.

The entire Soviet camp is a camp composed of poor countries that the United States does not want. A real estate businessman once said that all countries in the world love the United States. This sentence will be true a hundred years later. Except for the two main enemies, the remaining

All countries are like this.

It is a pity that slave owners did not catch up with that era. At the beginning of the 20th century, all countries loved Britain and France, and the United States should always beware of Britain and France feeding the United States shit in America, a place that the United States regarded as its own backyard.

Later, Annie received another check of US$100,000 and started the joint company's business in Hanoi. "You said Vietnam was so important, but you gave it US$100,000?"

"One hundred thousand dollars is too much for me. A colony is worth this price." Sheffield said dismissively, "I won't take even one dollar. Sooner or later, Vietnam will ask me to do business, and it depends on my ability."

Feeling."

Anne rolled her eyes at her husband's arrogant look, but the richest man in the United States is also the richest man in the world, so it must make sense.

It makes sense. If a satisfactory result cannot be obtained, the United Company may bring Agent Orange with it next time. Due to the current industrial layout of the United Company, if the Vietnam War breaks out again one day, it will only be good for the Sheffield family.

.

Anne wanted to ask again, but she saw her husband picking up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and muttering to himself, "Such a small country, in fact, the population is not very large. If you French people are not determined to change, Vietnam will continue to make trouble."

.”

Right now, Sheffield has begun to think about a plan to change species. Basra Province, including Kuwait, has less than 30,000 square kilometers of land. The most powerful monopoly capitalist in the world today is thinking about how to make the local people

The Peace Cultist disappeared, trying not to get his hands dirty as much as possible.

When Brown returned to Kuwait, he had already begun to send people to contact the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Once the world war broke out, sectarian conflicts broke out in the Middle East, which could be covered up by the world war.

In essence, slave owners have never been interested in colonial policies. What they admire very much is the strategy of a centralized state. Religious control, if they are not satisfied, they will change. The nearest non-Peace Cult gathering area in the Middle East is the Armenians.

In the future, Kuwait will be a Middle Eastern country dominated by Eastern sects and will forever be in the hands of the Sheffield family.

"Can I seize Saudi Arabia's fortune and build my own oil kingdom?" Looking at the map of the Middle East, Sheffield asked himself, after helping the Ottoman Empire so much, is he not more loyal to the Sudan than that young Saudi boy?

Out of legal principles and strength, it should be natural to establish an oil kingdom that is better than Saudi Arabia.

Although the Middle East is very large, oil is actually very concentrated in the 100,000 square kilometers around the Persian Gulf. As long as there is some progress based on the current situation, the oil and gas area in southern Kuwait can be occupied and the territory can be doubled. Establish a

A country with a total area of ​​only 50,000 square kilometers but accounting for one-third of the world's crude oil production.

Looking at the map of the Persian Gulf, the dream of establishing an oil kingdom becomes clearer and clearer, and it cannot be shaken off in my mind.

If conditions permit, who wouldn't want to make money while lying in bed? If not, establishing a Saudi Aramco company is also acceptable. If the Ottoman Empire was not currently at war, Sheffield would want to go abroad and the current pro-German government
