On the issue of network building, there is either no one time, or there are countless times. Since Sanford Dole accepted Sheffield's enthusiasm for pineapple sales and helped the joint company establish a sugar trust, he has become part of the joint company's network.
At this time, Sheffield was making other demands, and Sanford Dole, who was already in the circle, could only do so. Because he has helped the United Company once, and he is no longer the public figure with the expectations of Hawaiian citizens.
At this time, Hawaii is an empty window, and the status of Hawaii is still very vague. The federal government has not come up with a firm opinion. Will it become a state or overseas territory? This vague state has great maneuverability, so Sheffield is not at all polite and directly asks for land rights near Pearl Harbor.
Although Pearl Harbor has been established for nearly 20 years, Sheffield has been late to start from this point, but it is not irreparable. Even if you do n’t know much about the Navy, Sheffield knows a basic problem. The main force of the US Navy is Concentrated on the east coast, facing the European naval power across the Atlantic, the Pacific coast is in a secondary position.
Therefore, even if she had never seen the size of Pearl Harbor in later generations, Sheffield could judge that if she wanted to bear the Pacific Fleet in the future, Pearl Harbor must be expanded.
Sanford Dole was a judge of the Supreme Court of Hawaii ten years ago. Deposed the Queen of Hawaii five years ago as President of the interim government. The Republic of Hawaii was established the following year, and he became president. It can be said that there is no accident, the seat of the quasi-governor will also fall on him, so Sanford Dole is fully capable of helping Sheffield do anything in Hawaii.
It now appears that Pearl Harbor ’s status, compared to other military ports, lacks many necessary naval facilities, such as ship repair plants, dry docks, fuel supply stations, docks, and necessary naval facilities.
These facilities all require land for urban construction, but it cannot be built in the sea. As for whether this will affect the expansion of Pearl Harbor, regardless of Sheffield, the federal government can pay for it.
With the assistance of Sanford Dole, Sheffield successfully obtained authorization for the land near Pearl Harbor. It must be explained that the first idea that flashed in his mind at this time turned out to be the development of prostitutes ...
Considering that American soldiers can't control the style of their crotch wherever they go, this will be an industry that is very easy to realize. But then Sheffield dismissed this idea. With his current identity and industry, if he did this, it was no longer a bit cheap, and it was a disgrace to the United Company.
If Galeries Lafayette knew it in Arlington, the heir went out and walked around, and the transcripts he turned out turned out to be prostitutes. If there is a second male heir, he should consider abandoning the prince.
After some strenuous trade-offs, Sheffield also feels that this industry is a bit too low-end, and actually does not make money. Of course, considering the dollar purchasing power of this era, the prostitute industry is still very tempting for many ten thousand households. The reputation for yourself is still greater in the negative industry.
"Is Hawaii's casino industry legal?" For such a small land and population, although it is the heir of the joint company, Sheffield couldn't think of how smart it was, and the questions raised were all vigorously pursued.
Sanford Dole shook his head. At this time, he felt like he was on a thief ship. For the boss of this joint company, the evaluation was continuing to decline, but it was too late. Although Sheffield's nature was extremely exposed, he surrendered. The speed is faster than this speed, the two have been bound together through the acquisition of the farm and the purchase of the land of Pearl Harbor.
"That's a pity!" Sheffield shook his head helplessly. He didn't dare to know the Japanese, but he still knew the Chinese. The Chinese are definitely good bets. This is definitely not his slander of the Chinese community, at least in the United States. The Chinese gathering area, the small casino and the pawnshop are standard.
Sanford Dole also gave his own opinion, "The largest group on the island of Hawaii is Japanese, and the Japanese population is not very good at gambling. It seems to follow the rules, but it is actually more tamed than the Chinese."
"According to my experience in operating private prisons, many prisoners are usually like this. Once they break out, they will cause a lot of crimes." Sheffield nodded. He agreed with Sanford Dole's evaluation of the Japanese group. Actually From the observation of the West Coast community, the Japanese community really surpasses the Chinese community in neatness, but in his eyes, this is completely decent.
"It is this group that looks more conventional and less dangerous than the Chinese. When the Republic of Hawaii was founded five years ago, it had dispatched warships. As the President of the Republic, Sanford Dole should not have forgotten yet? Hope You did n’t really forget it, and it was n’t me that reminded me.
Sheffield reminded me when it stopped,
At that time, the Japanese group strongly opposed the establishment of the Republic of Hawaii, and now there are so many Japanese people in Hawaii What should I do? Only 20 citizens have a citizen of the United States. Almost two people have a Japanese. Since Hawaii has been officially merged into the United States, although it has officially become a state, it is still an overseas territory. There are some things, as Public figures who are themselves worthy of prestige should not need me to remind you. The Federal Government should thank you for your initiative. "
After being assisted by Sanford Dole, Sheffield also got the land and farms he wanted. Although the local people were still coming at sea, they did not become a foregone conclusion. But it does not delay that he now gives Sanford Dole some feedback. Although Sheffield is not a politician, but because of his close relationship with the Democratic Party, he also knows a little about politics.
The United States is not the world's hegemon, even in warfare, it must be a stubborn gesture, a last resort. Rather than issuing a decree directly, it is more willing to let Hawaii take the initiative to propose some bills to solve hidden dangers.
"Mr. William means? I offered to ban immigration from Japan?" Sanford Dole understood what Sheffield meant. "So it helped the federal government a lot?"
"Although you put forward the federal government, it may not be passed immediately, but when you propose it, it is an excuse. In the future, the federal government will agree to this clause at an appropriate time." Sheffield knows that everything in the United States is not so simple. The Chinese Exclusion Act It has been brewing in California for many years, but it has been officially adopted for more than ten years.
This is the model of the United States government, and Sheffield is not satisfied with this, but this model has a safe development space. If it is replaced by a Soviet system country, such a large family property, even if it is not copied today, copy the house The risk will always exist, only depends on when people feel the right to slaughter.
Considering that the Navy of the United States is still at war with Spain, it is estimated that tough measures will not be taken against Japan immediately. So Sheffield suggested that Sanford Dole only propose a framework to raise the threshold for Hawaiian immigrants. This alone is enough.
Sanford Dole only needs to make a proposal to the federal government, which is enough to make it sit in the position of the Hawaiian governor, and on the other side, Sheffield United Company consciously uses it in the process of sugar trust. The Chinese who exist in Hawaii try to check and balance Hawaii's largest group by means of both directions. But after all, it is a private company, and Sheffield has no right to do too much.
A few days later, fresh opinions on immigration raising the threshold have been freshly released. This incident quickly leaked out and spread to the ears of the Japanese group.
After all, as an archipelago that cannot be fully controlled by the federal government, it is too difficult to hide everything from the largest local population. Inside a Japanese-style building, a middle-aged man sitting, looking dignifiedly at the guests on both sides, took a deep breath, "I understand the meaning of the princes, but for now, because of The strength of the U.S. military in the Hawaiian Islands is too strong. We can only accept the facts. This matter also requires the imperial government to negotiate with the Americans. "
"Satoshi Sato, these whites are so deceiving. Americans, like Europeans, look down on us in their bones." A man with a mustache under his nose gritted his teeth, "They ignored our protests and seized with military force. Here, the imperial government is powerless. "
"We have to give the imperial government time to develop, and now we can only bear with it first." Sato Sato took a long breath, and his heart was full of depression, "I myself want to talk to the boss of this big company recently, trust each other Will give such a chance. "
"Well, hey!" This sigh almost simultaneously reflects the resentment and helplessness of this group of people.
"Talk?" She took back her eyes from the working Chinese workers near Pearl Harbor. Sheffield took off her straw hat and slapped twice. She smiled. "Talks can be talked about, initiative. There is nothing in our hands that I cannot talk about. I like to watch other people bear the burden of humiliation. The Japanese feel that relying on immigrant soldiers to get Hawaii as a territory is directly taken by the federal government ’s decision to merge Hawaii. , But what about this? "
"I'm not timid yet, so I don't dare to fight against the United States? Now Hawaii is part of the United States. If you have the courage, come and grab it!" Sheffield put her hand in her pocket and pointed in the direction of Pearl Harbor. A military port. "
"Saito Yukio is a leader of Japanese businessmen, he also runs a farm, and is also a representative of Japanese immigrants." Evelyn lightly opened her lips and introduced the profile of this Japanese businessman leader. Here! "Boo, Sheffield licked his lips," Who is he doesn't matter, it doesn't change anything anyway. "
