The New York Times has set an example for newspapers in the United States, and Sheffield has certainly followed suit. Others are calling for peace, and it is inappropriate for us to advocate war like a convulsion.

Sheffield believes that European diplomats are now running for peace, and this is absolutely sincere. Likewise, not all emperors are eager for war. Take Germany, the core of the Allied Powers, for example. Maybe William II thought this was a

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but today you will think that peace is more valuable. This is very normal.

Neither the personal relationships between European royal families nor the efforts of diplomats can change a basic fact. That is, both camps have been preparing for war for a long time. From the two crises in Morocco to the two Balkan wars, time and time again

The conflicts have not evolved into a full-scale war, but we cannot expect that all conflicts will be controllable. Nationalism will only get higher and higher. The more crises arise later, the more difficult it will be to get off the tiger.

This is like green algae in a pond. It would take a month for the green algae in a pond to be filled, but in fact on the 29th day, the green algae in the pond only occupied half of the water surface.

, the remaining half of the water surface was covered on the thirtieth day.

"My dear, if you are worried, you can send a telegram to ask your mother to come and live in the country." Sheffield brushed his teeth with dull eyes, and said vaguely with his peripheral vision scanning Anne's absent-minded expression.

"Really? William, I am a little afraid of my grandmother." Anne said timidly, "Actually, I am also afraid of one thing. You seem to have two sisters in Paris. It seems that my grandmother has a bad opinion of these two women."

"It's been many years. At that time, our family had no heir, and the old man made grandma very angry. Now it's different!" Sheffield spat out the mouthwash and said nonchalantly, "Now the problem of heir has disappeared.

Even if something happens to me, our children are still here, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Will war really break out?" Anne murmured to herself, "What issues can't be discussed?"

"With the British watching, anything is possible." Sheffield said helplessly as he took a comb to comb his wife's hair.

The slave owners were not slandering the British. The British's role in the First World War was definitely not to protect Belgium's neutrality or anything like what they claimed.

The real core of the Entente was the Franco-Russian alliance, and the British role in the Three Kingdoms was to fan the flames. At the same time, there was a pro-German faction in the British Parliament and cabinet. In the British cabinet, twelve cabinet members did not agree to participate in the war. The entire working class

and most Liberals opposed entering the war.

Among the pro-German faction in the UK, former Imperial Colonial Secretary Chamberlain was one of them. Although Chamberlain had retired from politics, the pro-German faction was still very powerful. Moreover, this generation of British citizens was not good enough and opposed Britain's participation in the war.

Therefore, when the two camps were preparing for war and pursuing diplomacy for peace at the same time, the British's action was to declare to the German ambassador to the United Kingdom that Britain was not an ally of the Franco-Russian alliance, and there was no such thing as the Allied Powers group. In addition, they secretly encouraged the Allied Powers.

The real core Franco-Russian alliance took a tough stance against the Central Powers.

In this matter, the British forces who wanted to join the war deceived the Germans and avoided the pro-German forces in the country. This is like the United States in later generations provoking a war while holding anti-war demonstrations in the country. There is no contradiction at all.

I learned it from my own father, the British Empire.

How could the British country be so despicable and shameless that it could be hidden from the Sheffield family, an outstanding representative of British immigrants. You must know that most slave owners in the Confederate States once counted on Britain to help the Confederacy, but ultimately returned disappointed.

Anne went to send a telegram to Paris. At the same time, Sheffield boarded the airship under the guise of inspecting the factory and went directly to New York. He did not come to see Rockefeller and Morgan, but went directly to the headquarters of Thyssen Associates in America.

John Tison Associates' manager in the United States plays golf at the Rockefeller Estate golf course.

Except for the slave owner who was more familiar with shooting, he naturally lost to Gretel Thiessen. He was willing to admit defeat and handed the other party five hundred dollars. He held a golf club and asked casually, "It seems that these two days

If Europe is not peaceful, a war will not really break out, right?"

"If war broke out so easily, it would have broken out many times. Although His Majesty the Emperor is sometimes very impulsive, this was amplified by some newspapers." Gretel Thyssen smiled nonchalantly and took the five hundred from Sheffield.

US dollars, which is also a huge sum of money for him as a family manager.

"Oh!" Sheffield didn't know whether what the German said was true, but it should be more credible than himself, who read the newspaper across the Atlantic Ocean.

The slave owners believed the German's words. No one could realize how destructive the coming war was. They thought it would be like the previous wars on the European continent, where the two battles and peace treaties were signed. So while the Sarajevo incident attracted attention, the British were

Because the Irish issue was very busy, the whole country in France was paying attention to the murder of a minister's wife, and Nicholas II was worried about his son who had another attack of hemophilia.

But as Sheffield knows, every time the sparks of a war crisis are extinguished by diplomats, it only makes the next war crisis more difficult to deal with. No matter how good the mechanism is, there will always be a day when it becomes dysfunctional. The participating forces of many warring countries

One thing is correct. The sooner the war breaks out, the more likely it will be smaller in scale.

"Why do you remember that you asked a German to come to my manor to play golf?" It was only after Gretel Thyssen left that little Rockefeller appeared, helpless against Sheffield's decision.

"Dear John, don't always be so sullen. Aren't you also a descendant of German immigrants?" Sheffield joked, thinking he was humorous, "I will stay in New York this month. You also know that Texas is now

The atmosphere is very depressing, and we are still looking for His Majesty the Emperor's daughter."

The real situation is of course not. When the countries declare war on each other, Sheffield will announce that the two female Grand Duchess have been found. Anyway, they will not be able to go back by then. They edited the touching stories in the newspaper and added some stories about the daughters of the Emperor of Russia.

Legendary, how to escape from death with alertness and sharpness, so as to become a good card in your hand.

The purpose of being in New York is actually to contact the Germans nearby and remind the Germans not to fall for the despicable and shameless British's rhetoric.

At the same time, at the tactical level, some shameless tricks of the British were unintentionally revealed. After all, the slave owners were senior German fans! Sheffield was ready to take on the responsibility of the Cambridge Five and organize an intelligence network for the Germans in the United States. For Germany in the early stage

The offensive provided some powerful intelligence. For example, Belgium would resist Germany's powerful army, which many people did not expect.

Many people did not expect that Sheffield knew that he could create a false information and leak it to the Germans based on secret contacts between the federal government and British diplomats. He could even come up with ideas to quickly remove hundreds of people in Germany itself.

An airship mounted a bomb and razed the Liege fortress to the ground.

This definitely cannot be done in Arlington. Anne is French, and what he wants to do will cause great harm to France. Once discovered, it will be very easy to expose the relationship between the couple.

"But then again, Europe won't go to war, right?" Rockefeller Jr. is a little worried. In the oil business, the United States is currently dominated by one company, and this one company is Standard Oil. Such a strong industry is in the hands of the Rockefeller family, and Rockefeller Jr.

Naturally, it is different from entrepreneurs in other industries.

Neither war nor peace has any impact on Standard Oil, and he naturally hopes that peace can remain.

If Sheffield's industries were like the oil industry, all of which could ignore trade barriers, he would not want a war to break out. However, many of his industries are manufacturing industries. Without a world war, it would be too difficult to break through trade barriers.

"Probably not. Europeans are the origin of modern civilization, and they are smart enough to resolve disputes." Sheffield picked up the words of the New York Times and said not believing a word of it.

Sheffield did not disturb young Rockefeller, but went to live in the love nest with Alice Roosevelt. At the same time, he was planning how to become an ace spy and how to make the Germans trust him.

Thanks to its years of career as a monopoly capitalist, ruthlessly squeezing surplus value internally and serving as a licker for imperialist powers externally, Sheffield has a good reputation in many countries.

Having a harmonious relationship with Thyssen Associates and the Krupp military-industrial complex is a very good foundation. Sheffield has been socializing with Gretel Thyssen for several days in a row, expressing his concerns about the situation in Europe.

Although the slave owners were worried that the war would not be fought, they were indeed worried. At the same time, they intentionally or unintentionally let it slip that they had connections in the federal government. It seemed that the British were holding lobbying activities in the past few days.

"Mr. William is saying that the British are deliberately provoking a war?" Gretel Thiessen said in disbelief, "No way?"

"I have also heard some things. The news is too confusing now and no one can guarantee the authenticity. However, the British have always instigated discord among the European powers, pulling the weaker ones to fight the stronger ones. Isn't this universally recognized?

Is that true?" Sheffield shrugged, "If there were no British, the world would be a lot more peaceful."

"Mr. William, the bosses of many companies say that you are a friend of our German people." Gretel Thyssen thought about it and had a certain idea.

"Of course, I always have been!" Sheffield seemed not to hear the underlying meaning and replied without thinking.
