Chapter 202: Annex Hawaii

Before leaving New Orleans, Sheffield witnessed the assembled U.S. Expeditionary Force boarding. They will perform the duties of the Army and complete the military occupation of Cuba. This is a necessary step. The United States in the later generations obviously deviated. It is obvious that the navy and air force can handle everything. For some countries with only tents and camels, it is never possible to succumb to them without investing ground forces.
It ’s just the Army ’s problem. It ’s my country ’s own national conditions. From the beginning of the Spanish-American War, every time the federal government participated in the war, it compared itself with a weaker country. Even if it participated in the world war, it was only in When the enemy was dying, he stabbed with a knife. The joint British and French forces in World War II only wiped out one-fifth of the German military forces. The Soviet Union was the country that wiped out 80% of Germany's military power.
The federal government ’s ethics of joining the war has made Sheffield appreciate it very much. Like himself, he never thinks that his opponent is as weak as possible. The king of vegetable abusers, when he encounters a country with a little bit of countertops, does not pull dozens of countries to participate. I am embarrassed to greet people when I go out to meet. What is the Army of the United States? Just choose the most dishes, not the strongest.
Abuse of vegetables can only show that I am awesome. What should I do if I encounter a hard stubble in case of filling? Just like Sheffield said that Texas is colder and colder than Chicago, but he can boast in Texas. He will never live in Chicago even for a day. Bragging can be. Worth it.
Sheffield returned to Arlington to pack her bags and began to prepare for this international company's itinerary. By the way, he told Galeries Lafayette his plans. This is just a notice, not an invitation.
"Is there a little bit more dangerous there?" After hearing it, Annabel did not express obvious opposition, but said a few points to note, "The situation is unknown now, and the expeditionary force has not yet arrived."
"When I went to school, I learned a sentence called wealth and insurance. Now the situation in the Philippines is really uncertain, but there is a certain condition that the United States will definitely occupy the Philippines." Sheffield said with a deep thought, "Because There is a certain degree of danger, and other companies in the United States will choose to wait. If the joint company marches into the Philippines at this time, it will occupy the greatest interest, so this danger is completely acceptable. "
Ok? Annabel gently stroked her forehead and suddenly tilted her head. "No, you have another reason. Is it related to Mexican debt? The three parties that undertake Mexican debt, the headquarters of the United Company is closest to Mexico, if you stay in the country In addition to gaining a lot of benefits during the war, some are too eye-catching. "
With such a Galeries Lafayette, Sheffield did not know if it was her luck. If Annabel was like the Galeries Lafayette in the East, her life would definitely be sad, but fortunately, her family did not interfere with the behavior of the heir.
"It's also part of the reason. If I'm not here, this is Rockefeller's plan." Sheffield said concisely, "I'm also looking for evidence of my absence."
"It's really something you learned to let you manage the prison." Annabel nodded with great sympathy, and was quite satisfied with the heir's tricks, regardless of the effect. Sheffield's thoughts can be proved by practice.
Although finding evidence is only a vocabulary to describe crime, neither the grandchildren nor the grandchildren care. In the eyes of some proletarians, they are criminals while they are alive.
Just starting with the expeditionary army, it still exceeded the limit of wealth and insurance. Annabel suggested that after arriving in Hawaii, she first waited and watched the progress of the Asian battlefield. It stabilized a little and took the capital of the joint company.
A few days later, Sheffield had appeared in California. He did not come by himself. He also brought two retired companies of the Alamo Guard. At this time, San Francisco was still busy. The Eighth Army of the American Expeditionary Force was formed. Under the leadership of General Merritt, Chinese workers who had just left the country and followed them also left a total of 30,000 people.
As for other Chinese workers, the United Company also signed contracts with them, but these other contract workers will stay here temporarily until they have completely captured the Philippines.
The port is still very busy, and the cargo ships collected are still carrying military supplies, such as beef jerky left over from the Civil War. The consumables of the Army are not treated like those of the Navy. The Navy is a noble service.
"A successful international company can't just focus on the domestic market." International entrepreneur Sheffield conducted a wave of regular chicken soup with the accompanying company employees. "Of course, the risk exists, but as the first large-scale entry into the Philippines Companies, this will also bring huge benefits, to know that the Philippines is a place with a population and area several times Cuba. The population is more than three times that of Cuba, and the area is more than three times. Of course our company has a very big advantage It means that they have established a good relationship with the Chinese, so that they can understand the situation of the Philippines through the Chinese. This is definitely a faster establishment of industry in the Philippines than other companies. "
In front of Evelyn, Sheffield's habitual self touted his vision, and I was planning on it, just waiting for all this to happen.
"Okay, this is the basic information prepared by the boss." Evelyn flicked the tip of her ear and issued general information about the Philippines to the secretaries of other secretariats, emphasizing, "Although the development rate of the Philippines It is relatively low, but it has great potential for development and can be used as a huge development engine for the joint company. "
There are many higher plants in the Philippines. There are mainly cypress, bamboo, borneol, mangrove, pine and so on. And as an archipelago, although it is developed to a degree, it is similar to the geographical environment near San Francisco, and there may be many rare metal resources. Compare with California, which is also frequent by sea earthquakes, copper, gold, silver, iron, such resources There should be no problems.
"Philippines will be the key operating location of the United Company overseas. After this visit, the boss will also explore mining companies in the United Nations." Evelyn nodded. "Of course, this is far from all, and the bank will also be in The stationing in Manila later depends on the progress of the expeditionary force. "
Evelyn also wanted to continue to say that she was interrupted directly by Sheffield and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "So, an unprecedented opportunity is in front of us. Compared with other companies, we are not only one step ahead, but also have Very good foundation. It can be said that this foundation is based on the good relationship of the Chinese community. Of course, I also know that some newspapers in San Francisco have disputed this recently. If the group of Irish people are willing to fart, they smoke themselves. Well, all we can do is close the door and let them produce and sell themselves. As a large company, there is no objection to this degree. "
Sheffield gave some encouragement to the entourage who was about to leave, and told these employees that as long as they followed me well, the good news would come to you, "I am not interested in money."
When boarding the cruise ship, Evelyn and everyone carried a suitcase with Hugo and Tolstoy in them. As a cultural desert in the United States, there is no place for literary accumulation at all. Don't compare it with France and Russia, who are the first to have controversy. As for popularity, Sheffield is a person who has been influenced by the Internet. He has read many vulgar things.
When I got on the boat, my hands were empty, and the young women behind were carrying suitcases. This scene made some gentleman-like men want to show their eruptive hormones, but after seeing the Alamo Company behind them, they returned. Self-restraint.
"Do you see the men who are secretly looking at you, are they particularly like a dog?" Sheffield hugged Evelyn's fragrant shoulders, and pointed the other hand at the men who had just peeked at her group. Pointing.
"Can't you be more friendly to ordinary people? Don't trample on their dignity." Evelyn glanced at the few dodgers, and said softly, "Yes, all right!"
"I think the act of taking care of ordinary people the most is to tell them the real world, and of course I can love them as much as I love my black back." Sheffield said with a hippy smile, "I'm too lazy to deceive myself If they want to cheat, they will cheat the entire civic class, so that they do n’t think about it, and one day is counted as a day. Naturally, a boss like me plans life for them, and all they have to do is to live through this life within my planning, Create value for me. "
Hawaii is located at the "crossroads" in the Pacific Ocean. It is a sea and air transportation hub between Asia, America and Oceania, and has an important strategic position. This status naturally attracted the covetment of imperialist powers. As early as fifty years ago, the two most powerful colonial empires, English and France, successively declared their sovereignty over Hawaii.
Just before Sheffield arrived in Hawaii, US President William McKinley made a difficult decision. In view of Hawaii ’s initiative to offer sovereignty in exchange for tariff exemption, the federal government decided to merge Hawaii and make Hawaii the overseas territory of the United States of America.
This kind of thing, Sheffield, is to listen to it. To say that before the war with Spain was actually fought, William McKinley ’s peace initiative may worry about the risk of defeat. But the difficult decision to annex Hawaii now must have come from the show, keeping the last point not too ugly.
The annexation of Hawaii is more like a problem left over from history by the US Expeditionary Force. However, Sheffield after landing the island clearly felt a deep hostility that belonged to the Japanese, the largest ethnic group on the island.
