Once a world war breaks out, the two planned routes are nothing more than the Atlantic route. This route is easily blocked by the British Navy. However, because the United States is a country that may change the trend of the world war, the British Navy does not come to force it.

The other option is to enter the Persian Gulf via the Pacific route and deliver supplies to the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The problem is still the British Navy. The existence of the British Navy is the reason why slave owners are jumping up and down to make sure that the Kingdom of Italy stays with the Allies.

I hope that a domino effect will occur. The French Navy is not enough to suppress the Italian Navy and the Austro-Hungarian Navy. It will inevitably need the British Royal Navy to assist in defense. The British Navy must maintain the advantage of the most powerful German High Seas Fleet in the Allies, so it can only

Deploy warships deployed at other bases around the world.

In this way, the British Navy's control over the world will be weakened, and the business life between the two sides of the United States will be smoother. The strength of the two camps will be balanced. Maybe a world war will be enough to make the United States a global power.

Good news always comes one after another. The two Guba-class battleships ordered by the United Company in France have been launched. After learning the good news, the slave owner hugged Anne and kissed her red lips hard.

At this time, especially regarding naval issues, any measure to bring the balance between the two camps closer is precious. Although the index data of the Guba-class battleship is difficult to describe, it is still a battleship after all.

"It would be better if after the war broke out, two more battleships from the Beiyang government could be leased for use. It's not out of the question. They will rust even if they are left in the port. Why not let me keep the ocean routes open?" Sheffield asked himself,

As long as the price can be set, this is not out of the question. The two battleships were built by their own shipyard. What's wrong with borrowing them back for use? It doesn't mean that they won't pay the rent.

"Dear John, how is your hospital construction going? Do you have any contacts in the current Chinese government that can be used?" Sheffield, who was temporarily confused, once again discovered the value of little Rockefeller and dialed the phone without hesitation.

Got the phone call.

"It's not good for you to call. Just tell me what your purpose is." Little Rockefeller said angrily, "Now you have an easy life. I heard that you can shoot a movie in your own manor?"

"I can't take a rest yet. Today's rest is for the busy work tomorrow, and I don't have much rest time." Sheffield was not happy when he heard this. He worked hard every day to reduce the number of parasites on Mother Earth.

Why is there nothing to do? Who dares to say that killing someone is not a big deal.

But for Edith Rockefeller's sake, he doesn't have to worry about the oil king. We are all a family, not only have relatives, but also have the attribute of class unity. Talking about something is much more useful than hypocritical politeness.

After getting the list of contacts from Rockefeller Jr., he hung up the phone unceremoniously. In matters within the United States, he could share interests with other large companies, and even give up shares in United Automobile Company in exchange for monopoly capitalists.

unity among countries, but on the issue of internationalization, there is no need to be so sentimental.

When developing overseas markets, everyone relies on their own abilities, and it is normal for them to stumble upon each other. Don't mention cooperation. That is all outsiders. It took three days for Sheffield to organize a group of sailors who could handle it and headed to Beiyang.

The follow-up to the government's performance of the contract is to help the Beiyang Navy maximize the combat effectiveness of its warships. Among them, Mr. Rand is responsible for borrowing warships at specific times.

"You actually have to pay rent for the warships you built? I have always admired your business skills, but this time I don't understand." When Rand contacted Sheffield, his tone was as if he had seen something foreign.

Starman.

"I'm a person who follows business rules. It's okay to use money to do things. And I won't offend other countries for no reason." Sheffield gave his own explanation and urged Rand to get on his way quickly and stop asking so many nonsense questions.

Hearing his partner's tone, the slave owner couldn't help but think of Churchill, the British traitor. Although the pro-German faction was in power in the Ottoman Empire before the war, the overall strength of the Allied Powers was stronger. The Ottoman Empire did not necessarily have to oppose the Allied Powers, at least

It is also possible to secretly regain strength by collecting money from both ends.

However, the unworldly Churchill believed that the Ottoman Empire was not worth two battleships. Not to mention not giving battleships, he was not even willing to return the advance payment. This caused the Ottoman Empire to join the Allies in anger and blockade Russia, which was extremely important on the Eastern Front, in the siege of the Allies.

Facing the siege of the Allies alone, Imperial Russia was the first to collapse in the world war.

If the treacherous son of the United States hadn't supported his own father, the three hundred years of empire on which the sun never sets would have been over.

As soon as he heard Harbin say such words, the slave owner immediately thought of Churchill's magical operation. He respected this partner by not scolding him on the spot. But after calming down, he called Rand again and asked him to

After he arrived in the East, he must have a good talk, everything should be based on business rules, and finally said, "I'm not so poor that I can't afford the rent. The reputation of United Company is everything."

Even a broken ship has its flaws. Just looking at the performance of the Ottoman Empire in the Italian-Turkish War, it is not impossible for Churchill not to take the Ottoman Empire seriously, but the counterattack force of a dying empire is quite sufficient.

Therefore, smart people should stay away from such a dying empire. European countries in the East are quite restrained on this point. Otherwise, they would give up the short and quick war and really force the Qing Dynasty to fight in the name of establishing colonies. If the British hold on

With this goal in mind, the French became the world's hegemon after the war.

"What kind of partners have I found?" the slave owner couldn't help complaining to his wife, "At this level, Rand Corporation deserves to be merged by me, not the other way around."

"You seem to be afraid of pushing any country to the point of despair." Anne said in a teasing tone, "This is the national condition of this country. Wilson has just expressed his apology to Colombia and is preparing to allocate funds for compensation."

"For large countries that are still in the agricultural field, we cannot force them to go all out." Sheffield whispered, "Of course, what happened in Colombia is that the federal government is forcing such countries to go all out in order to look better in name. Maybe in the future,

You can see it.”

In the face of the Italian-Turkish war, the British Royal Navy's warships were even more insufficient. Maybe Churchill would be more justified in seizing the Ottoman Empire's battleships.

The United Company's industries have been adjusted to cope with the war, and the slave owners have completely entered a state of doomsday carnival. Over in London, the European powers and the Balkan Alliance are still blushing, and he is watching the movie box office rising steadily.

As expected, due to the black riots, the second part of The Birth of a Nation exploded at the box office and has already sold over 20 million US dollars. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it was equivalent to the emergence of

This sparked a national movie-going craze. In the White House, President Wilson invited directors and movie actors as guests, and Sheffield also brought Annie to join the ranks in the name of an investor.

During the White House banquet, Sheffield and David Griffiths talked about the development of future movies. At the same time, the set of the movie Time Machine has been completed and has even started shooting.

President Wilson was very interested and expressed his willingness to contribute to the box office once it was released. With President Wilson's support, the box office was almost guaranteed. Together with the White House staff and the movie actors, they enjoyed the three-and-a-half-year-long movie at the White House.

hours of movies.

"Look, this doesn't look like the first time filming a movie." Anne held her husband's hand and whispered softly, "But don't tell me, you are wearing a military uniform and it looks like this. It's like what really happened."

"If I can't even act my own life well, then how can I be good at it?" Sheffield said proudly, "This is life."

Halfway through the movie, Sheffield left the theater and walked out of the screening room. A figure followed him directly out, but Anne did not notice it.

It was not the first time for the slave owner to come to the White House. Of course he knew where the bathroom was. When he turned around, he saw Mary Pickford following him in. He was so frightened that he trembled and said in a low voice, "Why did you follow me here?"

"I just want to meet you. Anne is very beautiful." Mary Pickford started talking without any end. Suddenly she turned around and lifted up her long skirt. She turned around and said, "Father, this is the White House."

One hand quickly covered America's sweetheart's mouth, and Sheffield lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I tell you not to scream like that? This makes me angry!" He straightened his waist to show that he was really angry.

The Americas were full of entertainment, and the long London Conference also came to an end, but soon the war started again. After the signing of the London Peace Treaty, due to the failure of the Ottoman Empire, the positions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany in the Balkans were greatly weakened.

They originally hoped to get help from the Ottoman Empire when they went to war with Imperial Russia, but once they went to war with Russia, the Balkan League would seriously threaten Austria-Hungary's rear. Therefore, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire used the Balkan League to carve up the uneven occupied territories of the Ottoman Empire.

The resulting contradictions strongly instigated Bulgaria against other allies.

Instigated by Germany and Austria, Bulgaria, which relied on its strength, took the initiative and launched a sudden attack on Serbia and Greece. Soon, Romania and Montenegro entered the war one after another and joined the Serbian side. The Ottoman Empire also wanted to take the opportunity to regain its lost territory.

The First Balkan War broke out.

War clouds are gathering in Europe, and the United States is still singing and dancing. The first movie starring Sheffield, The Time Machine, in the name of a hard-core science fiction movie, is officially released. The trend follows the release of The Birth of a Nation a few months ago.
