Chapter 203: Sugar Trust

When Britain and France competed against Hawaii, a deadlock was formed here, and then there were two latecomers, one is Japan, which is also an island country, and the other is the United States on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean. And Hawaii, which is in the middle of the Pacific, has become the main place for contention between the two. As two important countries in the Pacific, Japan and the United States are all eyeing Hawaii. The United States and Japan have been continuously infiltrating Hawaii.
When the United States is competing for Hawaii, there is an obvious disadvantage. The United States has a huge local area, and the population of the three western states is only more than 2 million. The citizens of the United States do not have the intention to immigrate to Hawaii, while Japan has a small territory, In a small country, Japan has a strong desire to emigrate. Knowing that he was not strong enough, he took a roundabout route to immigrate to Hawaii. Encouraged by the Japanese government, a large number of Japanese moved to Hawaii.
The Kingdom of Hawaii, which existed at the time, had already felt the United States ’attempt on itself. After all, the population was not sent, and the military presence was particularly important. Realizing the seriousness of this problem, the Kingdom of Hawaii cannot grow rapidly in its own indigenous population. Next, in order to offset the impact of American and British immigrants on the country, dilute the proportion of British and American immigrants in the country, and to solve the problem of the domestic labor force, he turned his attention to the west coast of the Pacific. In the previous occasional contacts, East Asian countries, especially Japan, have left a deep impression on the Kingdom of Hawaii, because in the exchanges between countries, China and Japan are not as aggressive as Western countries such as Britain and the United States, but are friendly and friendly.
At that time, a small number of Japanese immigrants who had appeared in the Hawaiian Islands were not as domineering as American immigrants, but instead appeared to be blameless. In this connection, the Kingdom of Hawaii began at that time, and a large number of Chinese and Japanese immigrants were introduced from the country.
Japan is also a maritime country, and naturally attaches great importance to Hawaii. It is believed that Hawaii is the main strategic fulcrum for Japan ’s eastward advance. The Japanese must win Hawaii if they want to dominate the Pacific Ocean and expand eastward. The Kingdom of Hawaii ’s move to balance Britain and the United States is in the midst of its actions. In order to control Hawaii, the Japanese continue to emigrate to Hawaii.
Although the federal government cannot allow its citizens to live in Hawaii, military control has not been relaxed. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party know that once the Japanese occupy the transit point in the center of the Pacific, the United States will have an irreparable disadvantage in the Pacific direction, and at present, the Japanese government does not seem to be a good neighbor.
"There seem to be a lot of Japanese people!" Sheffield walks on the streets of Hawaii, and there are groups of Asian appearances in a hurry. These populations seem to be at ease, but is it really true?
He knew that when the United States overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii a few years ago, Japanese warships appeared near the waters of Hawaii.
"Currently, of the 400,000 people in Hawaii, according to statistics, the Japanese population is close to 40%, the Chinese population is 15%, the Portuguese population is 10%, and citizens of United States nationality account for 5% , The others are indigenous. This is because the Hawaiian Islands used to be a sugar industry and required a lot of labor. "Evelyn followed Sheffield and kept reporting her collected data.
"This is not a good thing for the United States to establish control over Hawaii." Sheffield frowned. The reason why the Pacific War Japan Joint Fleet attacked the US Pacific Fleet was a big victory. In addition to the conspiracy theory, it is the United States that was deliberately attacked by the United States. There is also a Japanese population on the island of Hawaii that is too large. As long as the Japanese are willing to attack, it is impossible to prevent.
The population structure of Hawaii now tells Sheffield that the current ruling structure here is a standard pyramid. Only 5% of Americans operate most of the farms in Hawaii, which are used to make sugar and sell in the United States.
Sheffield fell into deep thinking. Hawaii ’s pillar industry seems to be in conflict with Cuba. Cuba is also known for its sugar manufacturing, and it is now being captured by the military power of the United States.
Of course, the two most annoying places are Colorado. The reason is too simple, because the sugar center in the United States is Colorado. The Colorado MPs strongly opposed the Spanish-American War and voted against it. Prevent Cuba's sugar industry from having an impact on the state's industry.
Sheffield understands this situation. He is a Northeastern and definitely opposes war with Russia. If he were to fight Vietnam, he would definitely not object, but he believed that the people of Guangxi did exactly the opposite.
In order to internationalize the joint company, the heirs came out to investigate in person, so naturally they had to find out where they could profit. Soon Sheffield formulated several key points and ordered, "Union Bank will open here immediately. Although Hawaii is far away from the mainland, this is a key control place in the United States. The citizens who come here represent a certain economy. The strength, and the military strength of the island is extremely important, indicating that it is very safe and can be used as a key operation of the bank. "
And Hawaii in the later generations takes tourism as the pillar, and the tourism industry itself represents consumption. If Sheffield Union Bank can grow and develop here, or even achieve a dominant position. The benefits are not just such a small point of Hawaiian land displayed on the map.
Then Sheffield took the Alamo Guards around to investigate suitable locations for investment. An idea gradually appeared in his mind, but first he did not take action, but came to Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor spreads inland like a bird's foot. Located at the southern tip of the Waipio Peninsula between West Bay and Middle Bay, Pearl Harbor is located on the island of Oahu, a family of Hawaiian archipelago and the seat of the Hawaiian state capital.
Unfortunately, Pearl Harbor has been in the hands of the United States Navy as a military port for almost two decades. This prevented the idea of ​​patriotic entrepreneurs, Sheffield preempting the land and selling it to the federal government at a high price. This is really a very sad story.
If it is in a later republic, a private company cuts off the fancy business of the country, and then changes hands to make the difference, I believe it must be sad. However, in the United States, it is not impossible to do so. First, the first, born in a family like Sheffield, there is no second.
"The federal government does not do anything every day!" Looking at Pearl Harbor, which has been in operation for many years, Sheffield cursed at the decision makers in Washington. Every major company provides you with campaign funds, it is for you, a citizen, to serve ?
This curse made Evelyn and several secretaries look sideways, and Sheffield's personal bodyguard and members of the Alamo Guard seemed to have nothing to do with them. Scolding the federal government, it is well-known that they are Texans, gone ...
"Go and ask if there is no land or ownership, and buy me all the nearby land around Pearl Harbor." After the curse, Sheffield still did not give up. The current US Navy is definitely not comparable to decades later. Even the annexation of Hawaii has just happened. The expansion of Pearl Harbor is definitely inevitable, so there is still room for appreciation in the nearby land.
"I'm afraid it's not going so smoothly!" A secret secretary with eyes said weakly. "Do you want to get the military's consent near the military port?"
"What's wrong with the military? Do they know how much the United Company has contributed to the United States?" Sheffield glanced at the secret secretary, and said nonchalantly, "You don't ask how do you know that it is not going well?"
"It's nothing to ask!" Evelyn said to the girl and Yan Yue who entered the joint company.
Hawaii has a beautiful scenery, attractive beaches, and the sun and moon nebula change into a colorful landscape: under the clear sky, the beautiful Welki beach, parasols are like flowers; in the morning glow, the coconut trees on the shore of the banana trees whisper for the couples; under the moonlight, Polynesia People danced on the straw mat.
None of this has anything to do with Sheffield. He is naturally not interested in any beautiful things. After looking at Pearl Harbor, Sheffield left directly and went to the seat of the Hawaiian government. The person he met was the former President of the Republic of Hawaii. Sanford Dole.
Sanford Dole was born in Honolulu to a white Protestant missionary family from New England. Later he became the king of pineapples and established the famous Dole Company. Dole is a member of the wealthy and outstanding immigrant group on the Hawaiian Islands and plays a decisive role in the local political environment.
Sheffield was first deterred by Sanford Dole's big beard on his chest. It would be a pity if such a special beard was not to play an outsider in the movie. The first time I met, this king of pineapples left a deep impression on Sheffield. He was very interested in this king and that king.
There is an endless common language among businessmen, as parties that dominate Hawaii's merger into the United States. Sheffield didn't have to do the deep pretence in front of him anymore. This move by Sanford Dole was similar to the DuPont family's birth in France, but sold France to help the government of the United States and discussed the move of Louisana to merge into the United States.
However, it is clear that Hawaii ’s nomination is still a bit smaller than that of the whole of Louisiana, and it is not enough for Sanford Dole to become a DuPont company. Out of sympathy for the state ’s emperor, Sheffield decided to give him a hand, and said unhurriedly,
Hawaiian ’s local industry is single, and it must invest heavily in development, and to solve this problem, let local citizens live A good day is not easy. "
"I don't know what Mr. William has in mind?" Sanford Dole deserves to be a presidential figure, knowing that Sheffield must not have come to experience the scenery of Hawaii, and now there is a purpose to find a door.
"The pillar industries should be integrated in an orderly manner in order to improve the industry's right to speak!" Sheffield raised his head slightly. "This is very important for Hawaii!" Although it is not so straightforward, the meaning is already in place and Sheffield wants to get it Come out a sugar trust.
