Chapter 258: Private gunboat diplomacy

In the era of technology explosion, when she thought of the cost of two warships, Sheffield also felt very angry. Obviously, she would face the fate of elimination without using it for a long time. For cost reasons, this era was very unfriendly to him.
Buy shipyard to make it yourself? Not to mention the tightness of his life now, it is not suitable for expanding the industry in a short time. Furthermore, even in the environment of the United States, a private enterprise cannot be allowed to establish such an enterprise. At least it cannot be so blatant, so if you want to update the warship, you can only order it from Europe. This expenditure is destined to come and go. of.
When she thinks of a battleship worth millions of dollars, Sheffield must be frugal and manage her family for a while, but it is not unusable.
"This society is so unfriendly to me, I'm too difficult!" Standing on the beach, Sheffield could not help sighing with her arms around Natalia. She clearly worked so hard and the wealth she earned was still not enough.
A small white hand accurately grasped Sheffield's earlobe, Natalia pulled the man's ear and said, "My dear William, can you tell me why you are so shameless? Obviously already so rich, It ’s still the same, do n’t you know what kind of harm you do to most citizens of this country?

"What did I hurt them? It makes sense for them to be poor?" Sheffield smiled and took Natalya's hand away. It hadn't happened to such a brazen act, "You are beautiful, is it your fault?" What? Someone is jealous of you, are you going to make yourself ugly? You ca n’t do it either. "
Women, especially beautiful women, are always good, and people also have their own value. Otherwise, why do women who look live and sit and collect money look beautiful?
"If we have children in the future, if they are daughters, they must be very beautiful. Even if you have such a beautiful mother, even a boy, you can get it." Sheffield bowed her head slightly, he thought it was a good idea.
"Who is going to give you a baby, shameless!" Natalia shrugged her face, shyly and timidly. "Every day I want to do something to me, it won't make you succeed so easily."
"If I don't want to do something to you, am I still a normal person?" Sheffield sneered, "I'm wronged!"
Sheffield has been thinking recently about letting Natalya do something. After Evelyn ’s production, she is no longer suitable for showing her head. Of course, this is only a small problem. The main problem is that her sense of justice is too strong, and she always does something contrary. Conscience matters are inappropriate. It is appropriate to establish sports facilities and promote happy education.
Considering that as a descendant of the Slavs, there should be a strong woman style, and it should not be a problem to take over some industries.
This question can be said later, but I do n’t know if the recruitment of New Orleans has progressed.
"So, my dear two partners, I obviously have something else. You have to ask me to come in. Now I want to ask, how is the recruitment situation?" Sheffield sat in his villa He just took Xiao Maomei to travel and came back to ask about the recruitment situation. The average person is not as tired as he is.
"It's still going on, hasn't it been officially started yet?" Gael was not in a hurry, he said with a smile, "How to treat these black people and make them obedient, I believe that there is no expert like us in this world. Understand better! "
"Yeah, you know blacks best!" Sheffield said, covering her forehead. "So I'll change the way. How do you understand?"
Out of consideration for the local construction environment, no one is more suitable for the local working environment than black people. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by industriousness and industriousness. Black people are more adapted to the tropical climate. So Sheffield didn't mean to let Huagong take charge of the main project.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of deaths and illnesses, without first mentioning the past costs, delaying the progress of the project is also a troublesome thing.
"As long as these black people get on the boat, they have nothing to do with them. We have called a lot of old ministries from Brazil to let these black people keep their lives overseas. Furthermore, their lives are not worth much, nor are they now thirty years ago. At that time, a black man who died at the time was our own loss, and now one who died is still saving money. "Gael chuckled," Sometimes think about it, we do n’t have to be responsible for a black man like it was back then. He is still sick and old, and he even has to find a partner for them. Now they are responsible for everything. Thanks to the progress of the times. "
Gael's meaning is very simple. Since the two sides are no longer the relationship between the master and the servant, then everything is based on the relationship between the employer and the employee, how many people die, and how these people died. They are responsible for all of this, and for the early realization of the American century, they should die.
As for overcoming the local environment, it just depends on whether it is necessary. For normal private enterprises, there is no way to overcome the tropical diseases of Panama. Even special effects drugs cannot cure all diseases.
But for slave owners like Gael, the solution is not all. Choose a dry month, set fire to the local tropical rainforest, and then carry out the construction within the clean area. After the completion of this section of the canal project, look for the arson point of the next section and try again.
The power of nature is countered by the means of nature. Since the local climate is problematic, the local climate can be solved and destroyed together with the environment that breeds tropical diseases. There is no need to worry about the threat of tropical diseases.
Whatever Sheffield said, the environment in Afghanistan, that is, the British colonial policy saved them, the colonial policy required population to exploit the market. Switching to the Eastern dynasty war, it has long been clean.
"A kind person like me, who can't listen to these words, is always easily aroused by the pity in his heart." Sheffield sighed, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be somewhat moist and slow, "If international labor trade It ’s not forbidden how good, this is another opportunity to make money. "
The look of Sheffield's thumping feet made the two awe-inspiring, otherwise why can they make their career bigger? With this shameless look now, the joint company should make money.
"The key to this matter is the attitude of the federal government. The joint company can start the first round of gunboat diplomacy, but whether it can scare Colombia depends on the position of the federal government. We are instigating Panama's independence, we are not out of our housekeeping Armed with the Colombian government forces desperately, this is a loss-making business for us, do you understand? "
Sheffield lowered her voice and whispered to her two companions, "The only worry is that the current federal government is looking forward and backward, not worthy of the environment created by our joint company, as long as we get our position from Roosevelt, this So much easier! "
"Should it be a time to create public opinion!" McHale rolled his eyes, remembering the prelude before the outbreak of the Spanish-American War.
"Hey, we don't have to worry about this matter. There are two media giants who are not too busy to help us." Sheffield smiled slightly. "I know the style of the two of them."
In fact, the two diggers did n’t let Sheffield wait too long. The New York World News published an article advocating that if the Colombian government insisted on going its own way and still set up barriers for the United States to acquire the concession of the French Canal Company, the people of Panama would defend Self-interest should be independent from Colombia.
This was a bit like the meaning before the Spanish-American War, and soon another giant dunger also followed up the report, so that the Panama Canal project, which had already been popular at the government level, really fermented among the people. As long as public opinion is formed, the federal government can respond.
The most important statement came from the Governor of New York State Roosevelt. During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt successfully established his own heroic image and participated in the war in his own name, which was widely respected by all parties. Although he later returned non-stop to run for governor of New York, this wave of operations also allowed Roosevelt's position within the Republican Party to rise, and the success of becoming the governor of New York is the best proof.
Now Roosevelt is already an important representative of the Republican Party. His statement has caused widespread attention within the Republican Party to the Panama Canal. Roosevelt then formally proposed to hand over the Panama Canal project to the Senate and the House of Representatives. Recently, Sheffield was contacting partners across the South to unify the Democratic Party ’s opinion on the Panama Canal.
Therefore, under the joint efforts of a group of Republican lawmakers and Democrats endorsed by Roosevelt, the House and Senate of the Federal Government achieved an overwhelming passage at the same time, supporting the joint company to dig the Panama Canal.
Not surprisingly, this standard bullying decision was met with serious protest by the Colombian government and strongly condemned.
"Hey, the weak country has no diplomacy!" Sheffield sighed and said to Jessla, "Telegraph Havana, let John Connor take a trip. Sometimes gunboat diplomacy is a shameful thing, but it still It really works. "
As unseen radio waves communicated between Texas and Cuba, Havana, which had been quiet for a while, became lively again, and the two warships drove away from the port one after the other, cruising on the calm Caribbean Sea, and then Turn directly and head west towards Panama.
The country always thinks too much. At this time, patriotic citizens are required to solve some problems for the country. As a representative of patriotic citizens, Sheffield feels duty-bound.
