It is better to gather all the women together than in the past when the slave owner came one by one to comfort them personally. You must know that he is now a completely middle-aged man and should choose centralized management with higher security.

A group of women chirping together is not a big deal, nor is being in public all the time.

"Are you going to attend the reception for the Minister of War taking office?" Louisa Morgan asked after the airship took off.

"Yes and no. In fact, there is also the previous Secretary of War who suggested purchasing airships." Sheffield changed into a comfortable position and replied calmly, "The former Secretary of War Lindley is also there."

"This is a rare thing. The two secretaries of war have a good personal relationship?" A look of surprise flashed across Edith Rockefeller's face, and she was very interested in this question.

"I can't say they are good, but the two war secretaries are from us." Sheffield pointed to himself and added, "They are all from the Democratic Party. At least in public, they are absolutely passable."

"What does the new Secretary of War do?" The question asked by Alice Roosevelt was very political. As expected of the former president's daughter, she had seen a lot of things in the White House.

"A lawyer, a pretty good lawyer." Sheffield replied simply, "A staunch Democrat."

"A lawyer again? It seems that it is very easy for lawyers to enter politics. A lawyer becomes the Secretary of War!" Alice Roosevelt said helplessly. Anyway, she had no idea of ​​connecting lawyers with the Secretary of War.

"Otherwise? Find someone who has served to lead the War Department? Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will do that. There are only a few elected people, and the country is controlled by the civil service system. The Secretary of War should be a lawyer, who has studied

Business administration is not enough, of course it would be better if you are an economist. It is well known that representatives who study economics know nothing." Sheffield gestured for a while, "I believe that the new Secretary of War will be very suitable for this department."

"Yes, even when my father was here, the federal government had many ministers who had no idea what they were doing." Alice Roosevelt smiled bitterly, "This is the politics of our country."

"The benefits of this are obvious. Whether they are Democrats or Republicans, the huge civil service system of the United States can correct their whims. The two are essentially the same kind of people. Of course, nothing in this world is 100% perfect." Xie

Field thought of the real estate businessman, but it was better not to speak too harshly.

Sheffield's airship landed in the golf course outside Washington. A group of people got off the top. Louisa Morgan looked at the distance curiously, "This is the property you came to take and the company. Didn't you say that this kind of entertainment place is not

What is your favorite way to make money?"

"Oh, dear, what kind of place is it? This is Washington. Think about the politicians and civil servants in Washington. They need to find such a relaxing place after making selfless contributions to the country. As a person,

A good citizen of this country will naturally not be able to meet people who are thinking about the future of the United States, not even in such a place." Sheffield put on his top hat and replied, "The most important thing is that it can bring citizens closer to each other.

For example, the distance between me and Washington."

Even if this kind of cocktail party is not as luxurious as the Vanderbilt family's cocktail party, the level of hypocrisy is even greater. The attendees are all political people. Sheffield can't handle it by himself, so Edith Rockefeller must intervene.

Since Edith Rockefeller was brought here, there was no need for others. For Mary Pickford, it was the first time for her to see so many heads of departments. It seemed like a new world had opened up, so she was always very excited.

"Hey, William, this is the newly appointed Secretary of War. In the future, in this dangerous world, it will depend on how our little Mr. Newton serves the country and protects the citizens." Lindley saw Sheffield arriving,

He immediately extended his hand to say hello and introduced the new Secretary of War, Newton Dill Baker Jr.

"A rare name! It reminds me of a great scientist." Sheffield took two wine glasses from the waiter's tray and handed the other glass to Edith Rockefeller who was beside him. Sheffield smiled and said hello to the new Secretary of War.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. William. You are a model citizen of our country, and you are also of great help to the construction of the army. This has been seen by the two former war ministers. I believe their vision is not wrong.

"Little Newton, the Secretary of War, opened his mouth with a tone of regret, as if he had seen a... golden mountain.

"Little Newton, our friend is an amazing person." Lindley said to his successor, his tone was equally touching, "It is unimaginable if our country is full of people like William."

"Me too!" Sheffield said with a smile. It wasn't that he thought the other party's promise was in place. The point was that he couldn't imagine that in a country where everyone was a slave owner, who would be a slave? This is a very important question!

It did not take too long to discuss the current world war with the two war ministers. It was not a big deal in the first place. Sheffield wanted to know more that the change of the war minister would not lead to policy deviations in this department.

Obviously, not! Little Newton said that in this turbulent world, stability is more important than anything else.

This attitude is very reassuring. Sheffield is essentially a person who hates all changes. Vested interests in the United States should always have a share of their own family.

Slave owners even hope that technology will stagnate forever, so that no more disruptive technology will appear to impact the existing, seemingly good order.

Chatting and laughing with the two war ministers, walking along the neat lawn, the three of them gradually moved away from the crowd, chatting together.

"As for Mr. Lindley, he wants to enjoy a relaxed life, which is very enviable. Now is the war period, and the War Department still has many things to be busy with." Young Newton expressed congratulations to Lindley.

"My friend, eternal power is power, and everything we have has a time limit." When Lindley spoke, he glanced at Sheffield, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Speaking of which, I actually have a lot of plans for my easy life." Lindley nodded sheepishly, "Maybe it's not as easy as I imagined."

"That's right!" Sheffield nodded with a smile, "Sheffield Rand Corporation lacks a very experienced, highly respected person who has seen great storms as the company's legal advisor."

"Mr. William, if anyone takes that position, it will be a very happy job." Lindley said understandingly, "Now many companies have extended a hand of friendship to me, such as All American Cable Company , they also need a legal adviser, Westinghouse Electric Company wants me to be a vice president, Mellon Bank said they lack a vice president, and even United Motors Corporation wants me to preside over the communication issues of the workers' association."

"Mr. Lindley, you also know that an outstanding person will always cause competition from all parties, and citizens have sharp eyes!" A group of brains in Sheffield said in annoyance, "But I believe that with Mr. Lindley's ability, these You can accept all the invitations. Many positions are quite challenging and can be regarded as a new starting point in life. It would be a pity not to accept. I even think that the marketing manager of United Tobacco Company can also take care of both. Excellent people always do that. Very busy.”

"Oh, generous Mr. William." Lindley said overjoyed, "I don't even know what to say, but I agree with what you just said. I am a person with an adventurous spirit and like challenging work. "

The two of them talked to each other and had a great time enjoying the life of the Secretary of War after leaving the federal government. Of course, in the eyes of some shameless dung diggers, this must be a complete power-for-money transaction. So. There are only a few good people in the group who speak out.

As for Mr. Newton, the trusted Secretary of War, he was a witness to the unbreakable friendship between Lindley and Sheffield.

"Speaking of those pesky media people's questions, what stage is the new bill about?" Sheffield threw away the cigarette butt and asked with a relaxed look.

"It will be implemented within half a year. I heard that Mr. William has a huge impact on the international public opinion of the United States. I believe this bill will not have any impact on you." Little Newton said very solemnly, "Any department wants to protect Well, you are an outstanding entrepreneur."

"No, no, no, the League of Nations will definitely respect any bill. Because we are all good citizens of the United States." Sheffield shook his head vigorously and said, "There must be no exception, although we will never bow to the federal government for the sake of freedom of speech. , but we will also ensure the accuracy of the news, while taking into account safeguarding national interests and preventing the spread of speech that is harmful to national authority."

"The League of Nations newspaper is really a model of freedom of speech in our country." Little Newton praised without hesitation, "The League of Nations has done a lot for the freedom of speech in our country. I also believe that the League of Nations will never bow to the federal government. .”

"Of course, in order to protect freedom of speech, we will not succumb to any invisible pressure." Sheffield looked proud and added, "But at the same time, we respect sacred laws and defend the interests of the country."

"If the domestic media were like the League of Nations, I believe the citizens would be very happy." Little Newton praised it, looked around and said, "This is a beautiful golf course."
