Chapter 731 The Next Generation's Wedding (Repair)
"I really didn't expect that you would notify Anne and that she would actually come over." Edith Rockefeller said with a sigh, "She is an impeccable wife and will hardly refute your ideas. No one can.
Take her place."
Sheffield sounded very happy at first. After tasting it carefully, he asked unhappily, "Do you want to replace her?"
"I have thought about it, but I can't do it. You are not in Arlington. Not only does she often talk to you on the phone, but the maid next to her also reports her schedule to you every day. She is too careful." Edith Rockefeller told the truth.
Sighing, "It's like living inside a glass dome, open only to your eyes."
"I am quite suspicious, but one thing is not what you think. The maid next to her is not mine. Instead, she reports her schedule and who she meets every day according to her wishes." Sheffield shrugged.
She shrugged and said, "If you think about it, she has sacrificed a lot for me. She really achieved one-sided trust! It's also a credit to my good judgment."
Edith Rockefeller did not see everything. The mistress of Arlington also shouldered an important mission, which was to monitor his two sisters who had returned from France and prevent unnecessary losses of property within the family.
So far, the two sisters, whose names he has forgotten, have not done anything inappropriate. This is good, maybe both parties can live in peace.
In the current public sphere, many people intuitively feel that the situation faced by slave owners is not good. The League of Nations' firm anti-war remarks have finally been maliciously retaliated by the evil federal government. Several senior reporters and media people have been accused by Kang
Stantinovich was taken away by the FBI and, with Sheffield's proceeds, brought a case to the Supreme Court on free speech grounds.
Anne, who came out with her son, also asked after arriving in New York whether the matter was as serious as the rumors said.
"The new bill needs to establish its authority, and the best sacrifice is of course the League of Nations, which defends freedom of speech and is firmly anti-war." Sheffield said nonchalantly in front of his wife, "I am willing to be dealt with, and citizens will know that it is not allowed to participate in the war.
It can be avoided, and from another perspective, we can also gain understanding from the Allies. I still have to do business after the war."
"I'm afraid that some people who have suffered losses at your hands will see your jokes at this time." Anne, who was holding her youngest son, was not as relaxed as her husband. "In terms of the overall public opinion environment, the country is suppressing pro-Allied speech.
What if someone takes advantage of the situation? Although many people know that your pro-Allied attitude is fake, they are afraid that when they want to cause trouble for you, they will simply ignore the facts."
"Then kill those who are causing trouble!" The little son in the woman's arms waved his little fist and shouted in a childish voice.
"Look at my Douglas!" Upon hearing this, Sheffield immediately picked up his youngest son Douglas Sheffield and held it up high, saying proudly, "The spirit of slave owners is passed down from generation to generation. Our family is a cancer growing in the heart of the United States.
Anyone who wants to touch us must commit suicide. Look at your two sons, Alexander and Douglas, they will definitely become stronger with each generation."
"You just know how to say nice things and I can learn a little more from you." Anne covered her mouth and chuckled. She was quite satisfied with her husband's attitude. She knew that it was better to be the orthodox heir.
"It's normal for each generation to become stronger than the previous generation. There's nothing special about me." Sheffield shook his head and said, "Don't have the idea of valuing the past over the present. People who come later will definitely learn from experience more easily than those who came before.
Far."
Slave owners do not think much of the ancient and the present. Even from the perspective of life evolution, it is impossible. Dunkleosteus, pliosaurs, mosasaurs, and individual combat capabilities are not on the same level as the megalodon and plum whales that are very close to each other.
.And the largest individual creature is also the blue whale living in modern society.
Although today's ocean hegemons, killer whales, are not as physically strong as their predecessors, they are social. The killer whale group also communicates through language. What's even more damning is that except for humans, killer whales are one of the few creatures with racial thinking. Their habitats are all over the world.
Apart from humans, it is the most widely distributed mammal in all oceans. All it needs is a pair of hands!
"By the way, Jessla said that Arlington ordered the fleet to transport many Vietnamese in Hanoi to France." Sheffield, who was holding his youngest son, asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"France needs a fleet to help transport colonial soldiers. We have spare shipping capacity in the Philippines." Anne replied nervously, "We have paid for it."
"Just give me money!" Sheffield immediately stopped the topic and said casually, "You are the mistress of Arlington and you have the final say. Use the manpower of those colonies as they should be used. Don't be polite. To be honest, the French are not good at this.
They are really not as flexible as the British, and they have the right not to invalidate it after it expires. This is such a simple truth."
"Well, Paris is not as skillful as London in this regard, and it still doesn't trust the colonies. But it can't be used now. Our French manpower is far worse than Germany's, and the battlefields are all within our own country." Anne said with some worry, "
This war has caused great harm to both sides. Fortunately, Vietnam is still supportive and has provided some manpower to help."
"The Vietnamese can use it. It's best to recruit more troops and use this recruitment to consume Vietnam's manpower." Sheffield did not pursue Anne's personal order, but felt that it was not enough, "-If it doesn't work, you can capture strong men, and you can still get on the ship.
Run away? In fact, you can give some more direct orders to restart the triangular trade, and the crew of Black Gold Company will definitely understand."
"Isn't that a little too direct?" Anne was startled and whispered. How could she not know that her husband was talking about the black slave trade in a relatively neutral way.
"A world war can cover up some less important things." Sheffield's old god said, "Anyway, just leave it to the Black Gold Company and no one will care. As long as the Paris government has no problems, then there will be no problem."
Initially, Sheffield didn't think there was any room for maneuver in the Vietnam matter. Later, when he thought about the Persian Gulf cross incident, he thought it would be better to let an important member of the Allied Powers do similar things. In this way, everyone would do bad things.
After the war, we will not rely on our actions on the battlefield.
What was sacrificed was only the lives of some Vietnamese people. Anyway, the colonies will become independent sooner or later.
While Anne was thinking, Sheffield still felt unsafe and said, "Let the Chinese organizers from the Philippines go catch the young men."
"Huh? Why?" Anne asked in confusion, "That's a French colony."
"What the Vietnamese fear most is not the French, just listen to me." Sheffield said in an unquestionable tone, "Triangular trade has always been risky, and we have to share this risk. At the same time, the Philippines
Chinese Americans have joined it, and the joint company can better control them. I am not not letting them make money, but this money must be made with blood."
Provoking conflicts and dividing and conquering is not a monopoly of any nation. The British are experts in this. Even the Belgians can separate Rwanda's Tutsi and Hutus. What's the difficulty?
After the military occupation of Haiti ended, Sheffield was considering lobbying the federal government to annex Haiti to Cuba. But before that, Haiti must be ethnically cleansed with an army dominated by Cubans. After the feud was settled, the annexation
The effect is better if you go in.
All this has nothing to do with the United Company. As we all know, Sheffield is a famous representative of the United States' anti-war, and the order was given by Anne. If future generations recall the events during this period, they will find that he, the boss of the United Company, was
He filed a lawsuit with the federal government in the name of freedom of speech. In the end, he, an anti-war representative, was brutally suppressed, and the United States entered the war in the name of stopping the war from continuing.
Another thing is that he is currently busy organizing the wedding of his child with Edith Rockefeller, and it is impossible to get involved in this triangular trade.
The Vanderbilt Family Marble Palace in New York is the place where Sheffield held a wedding for his son William Rockefeller and the daughter of the steel king Margaret Carnegie. Guests who received the invitation include but are not limited to the Mellon family and the DuPont family
, Lowell, Adams. As well as McHale who came from Arizona, Gale who came from Puerto Rico, and tobacco king James Duke, etc.
This wedding at the Marble Palace has become a benchmark for the wealthy upper class in the country. This made the members of the Vanderbilt family, the owners of this place, very grateful. While grateful, they were busy greeting the guests who were present.
"As a descendant of the railway king, seeing you now is like seeing God." Little Morgan said with a teasing look on his face, "If you hadn't forced their family to do something, who would have taken them seriously now?"
"You can't say that. When I had no money, they gave me the much-needed funds to plug the gap." Sheffield held the wine glass, "Everything now is just a reward."
"William!" Konstantinovich saw this group of glittering rich people from a distance, and walked over directly to say hello, "So you are here, and I also want to talk to you about your reporters from the League of Nations
Well, he was as quiet as a kitten when he entered the FBI, and when he came out he shouted about freedom of speech."
"Haha, isn't that how they live?" Little Rockefeller chuckled and said to the FBI director, "According to William, kneeling and punching at the same time, this is professionalism."
"I suspect you are mocking me, but I have no proof." Sheffield drank the wine in his glass. "This wedding costs US$750,000. As my uncle, don't you reimburse me for it?"
Chapter completed!
