Chapter 251: The Boer War broke out

Sheffield's attitude came with a 180-degree turn, which was quite different from the previous statement. This made the two a bit surprised. McHale scratched his hair and said, "It is so agreed. It seems that William also sees the huge benefits."
"Of course, interest is important, but I value other things more. If it's just making money, it won't impress me." Sheffield smiled indifferently. There are so many things to make money. Is it used to get rid of the fire?
Isn't it good to develop cars and planes? Why go to Panama? Organizing construction, is it to name Qingshi? Now stepping into an industry, Sheffield is not thinking about how much money to make.
Instead, consider whether this matter is important or not, and whether you will be threatened by antitrust laws. If you are in danger of being split, you will certainly not be so laborious even if you intervene. Otherwise, what he does to promote internationalization, the proportion of overseas assets must reach a certain share, so as to be invincible.
In a sense, while the United Company is rising, the boss is doing one thing at the same time, that is, transferring assets, while holding high the banner of patriotic businessmen, and also doing things where the capitalist has no homeland.
The two kinds of thinking are intertwined in Sheffield's mind, which made him decide to blend the Panama Canal, because once the canal is opened, and the management of the canal area is in the hands of his own company. There will be several benefits, the Panama Canal will become the focus of the world's attention, this exposure is a benefit and a burden.
The advantage is that your company has done something on behalf of the federal government as a company rooted in this place in Panama. The United Company has a stable base, and it will be more confident against antitrust laws. At the same time, it can also establish certain contacts with the military.
Light arms manufacturing is also an important profitable project of the United Company. In the future, if Latin America is the backyard of the United States, then Panama is the door. The United States has permanent troops stationed in the Canal Zone, has established fourteen military bases or fortresses, and established the Caribbean Command, which was later expanded to the "Southern Command", responsible for the operations of the armed forces in the Western Hemisphere outside the United States.
Panama is an important key for the later United States to control the Americas. If this key is within the scope of its own company ’s business, at least it is certain that the local joint company ’s business scope is definitely not within the scope of the antitrust law offensive.
Not only must there be trusts in hand, but also trusts that are supported by the Democratic Republican Party, otherwise it will be meaningless. Sheffield is not simply thinking about making quick money, but passing on wealth from generation to generation.
Although private property itself is inviolable, this kind of wealth has always required the protection of armed forces. The military has always been Sheffield ’s best friend, and the United Corporation has always been a model of the United States.
"Boss, Miss Natalya is looking for you!" Jesra walked in, hesitating to see the friends of the two bosses were there.
"Oh, this matter is so settled!" Sheffield said to Gael and McHale, and got up and left the living room, which surprised the two. In any way, this matter is better than What is more important to the children ’s personal affair, they still saw Sheffield for the first time because a woman gave up the job at hand, so simple.
"Don't bother you?" Nataliya said with a sweet smile as she saw Sheffield rush out.
"It's busy with little things, but it doesn't matter, those things are not important." Sheffield shrugged indifferently, "It's the right thing to be with you."
Didn't Gael and McHale come to let themselves express their attitudes? They already expressed their attitudes. Whoever decides whether or not to do things, but Natalia's affairs should be handled by him personally. Anyone does it.
Natalia is now working part-time and part-time from the Austin branch. She has already stepped into the society. At this stage, she needs people to protect her from being polluted by the complexity of the society. This is not a mental effort. Sheffield believes that the person who protects this beautiful girl is best to herself, not to others.
"Now William, does it look like when you were in love with a bakery girl at that time?" Behind the window, two sneaky business bosses secretly looked at this scene, and McHale suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar to everyone. Has it happened to Gail once?
"Probably!" Gail nodded, then suddenly looked at McHale and asked, "What do you mean? William will deal with this problem. You and I can't talk, it's a private matter for others, Pay attention to protecting privacy. "
McHale nodded solemnly and continued to secretly observe with Gail how to protect privacy.
"No, we have to call William back. We plan from here for a long time, and there is still a basic problem that has not been solved. Once the canal is dug, where do the workers come from?" Gail would go out as soon as he tapped his head. McHale stopped him. We still have to wait until he is free to discuss this issue, and now he is not free. "
"Worker's question?" When Sheffield came back, when he saw the two partners waiting until dark, I was embarrassed to ask them why they hadn't left yet? You still have to take care of yourself?
"Yeah, the worker problem, we can't let our private armed forces? There are definitely no dead people in that place." Gail was very distressed, where to find so many workers. If it was thirty years ago, the problem would be simple. Just go to Africa and let the slave hunters catch it, but it is no longer possible to do so now.
Sheffield nodded and signaled that he knew that the terrible infectious diseases are prevalent in Panama, especially in the rainforest. The construction of canals in the rainforest has extremely poor medical conditions, infectious diseases are raging, and there are many dead people.
He remembered that it seemed that the Panama Canal and a part of Chinese workers participated in it, accounting for 10% of the canal workers. Of course, Sheffield didn't consider this matter now. Only one sentence appeared in his mind repeatedly. If you can solve some of the problems in the South at the same time, it is the best of both worlds.
"Workers or problems? There are so many black people in the South!" Sheffield said with a white tooth. "They were transported to Panama, and the province added chaos to our land."
"Okay, but I'm afraid ..." McHale was happy first, and then hesitated again.
"What are you afraid of? They're afraid of trouble? As long as people arrive in Panama, they can't make it to heaven?" As soon as Gael heard that, he could find a way to work with black people and support it without thinking. Well, we are also doing things for the collective benefit of white people. We just do n’t know who will accomplish the goal faster. "
"Martin Luther King has gone there. As for who knows the blacks best, this is a good thing to do." Sheffield greeted Jesla and called, "Give Conley to the 3K Party Louisiana Louisiana Convenor. Send a telegram, all the distribution of black people in Louisiana is clear at a glance. When you are recruiting, you can go from door to door to find the door. As long as you get on the boat, can they still escape our palms? The ground is not working, it is not at our disposal. "
This matter is really not difficult in Sheffield's eyes. The only difficulty is that a company as large as United is not suitable for doing so, so although he can make an idea, he can't hire in the name of his company, thanks Field is ready to let McHale sacrifice and say, "McHale Mining is best suited to the name of recruiting workers, because industrial and mining industries require a strong body, and recruiting black people will not cause suspicion, and your company's goals are also smaller."
Although I thought that I had to settle down first, Sheffield knew exactly what kind of consequences this kind of deception would cause. From the beginning, this was a fraud. As long as these black workers got on board, their lives would be I don't belong to myself anymore. What if they come back one day? Who is the scapegoat?
Although it is not easy for these black people to get their rights back, they will pull up a wide alliance to prevent these black workers from defending their rights. But in case of trouble, there must always be a scapegoat. The United Company can't be allowed to backfire, this stain is too big.
In the end, McHale gritted his teeth and agreed to hire people in the name of his company to take risks for Sheffield United.
"Do n’t think I ’m taking the big advantage. To be honest, the United Company has more things to do now, and money is needed in many places. If you did n’t listen to your advice to intervene in the canal, according to my original idea, it was supposed to be The price war between the domestic and DuPont consortium can only be postponed. "Sheffield leaned back on the sofa and sighed." The DuPont family is lucky, and many things have dispersed the power of the joint venture. "
Now Sheffield understands the original helplessness of Standard Oil. Many things are not decided by themselves, but also have to consider whether the environment is allowed. At that time, the standard oil sharpening was horrified, but the result was scorched by antitrust law.
I have steel, cars and airplanes on my side. Now I am planning a canal, and I can only temporarily pass the Dupont Union.
"Healthy male citizens aged 16 to 50 on farms in this region who have received this notice, please bring horses, firearms, ammunition, and five days of rations to the town of Freyhead to Commander Kus van Reimer The official reports ... "
Following a similar order, the Boer coalition composed of the Transvaal Army and the Orange Armed Forces advanced eastward. The General Commander of the Armed Forces, General Piet Joubert, led the main force, over the Drakensberg from East Orange, entered the Natal colony, and rushed to Lady Smith, where Natal ’s British main force was. The more British troops attacked, the Boer War officially broke out, and the Boer coalition decided to pre-emptively attack the British troops.
The news of the official outbreak of the Boer War spread to all parts of the world, and also to the United States across the Atlantic. Major companies followed the trend closely, paying close attention to the trend of the war.
