Panama is very important to the national interest of the United States. Is this still popular with Rosen? Sheffield knows this better than anyone else. If he really doesn't understand it, he won't make this decision. It was precisely because he understood that that was why he pinched this and deliberately embarrassed the federal government.
Not talking about national interests is good, talking about national interests will only encourage the arrogance of slave owners. If the federal government cannot give a satisfactory price, Sheffield will really sell the Panama Canal to the Germans. As for the national interest to manage his farts, this is not the United States of America.
So this time the communication was doomed to be fruitless. No matter what Rosen said, even if she finally asked Sheffield to sell it to other domestic companies, she did not get a positive response, and finally left Rockefeller Estate disappointed.
"Your purpose is to sell the Panama Canal to the federal government?" Rockefeller Jr., who appeared again, seemed to have opened his mind and said Sheffield's purpose.
"Who told you?" Sheffield was very surprised. The last time Rockefeller Jr. hadn't realized this.
Rockefeller Jr. ’s face was slightly red, and who else could be naturally the real master of the Rockefeller family. His father, the old Rockefeller, was the old Rockefeller. The real purpose of the slave owner was to let Roosevelt use Panama ’s name to take Canal bought it and wiped the for the joint company.
But whether it can really become a reality, Rockefeller Jr. is still a little skeptical. After all, the United Company has produced such a large amount of negative news. Now that the country has come forward to wipe the for a private enterprise, it seems that there is no such precedent.
It's just that Rockefeller Jr. didn't know it yet. Later generations of the United States, private enterprises stabbed Lou Zi, and finally forced the United States to come forward to take over. Although there are not many, it is not without. Mainly depends on its industry, is it really very important for the country.
Sheffield ’s industry is not necessarily very important, but he determined that the Panama Canal is very important to the United States, and that President Roosevelt is a president who values sea power very much. The Panama Canal is very important for the east and west coast. Only when the Grand Navy and this canal are added together can the dream of Roosevelt be realized.
"However, can Roosevelt agree?" Rockefeller Jr. felt that Sheffield still thought about things a little bit simple. He still had reservations about whether this matter would succeed.
It ’s okay if he sells it to the Germans without agreeing.
Sheffield is not anxious, saying casually,
Our president should understand one thing, only our big companies have benefited from this country. It will be strong. Big companies are the pillars of the country. Destruction of this pillar is to weaken your own country. John, I think of a good way to kill the public education system. I just remembered it. Let ’s talk about it. "
Little Rockefeller smiled helplessly, but this matter is indeed very important, "Let me hear your good idea."
When did the public system of the United States, especially public education, collapse? In fact, it takes much longer for large companies to complete public education than public hospitals. Public medical services were killed long before public schools.
Although public schools have been the focus of attacks by large companies for a long time, they eventually adopted an unexpected method to destroy the public education system, that is, the Teachers Union of the United States.
Public education in the United States used to be a model of the world ’s education system, and students ranked the bottom in developed countries in terms of both natural science and ability. Behind this collapsed regression is the rise of a huge interest group such as a teachers ’union.
Who makes the United States a country to be elected, and the National Association of Education and the American Teachers ’Union are the two largest sponsors of the United States’ elections, surpassing the National Trucking Union and the Rifle Association. Teacher unions have used this influence in exchange for huge guarantees. The other two respected and beloved professions in the United States, doctors and lawyers, have a probability of being revoked at about one percent.
However, teachers in public schools automatically obtained tenure after two years of teaching, which has nothing to do with the quality of teaching. At the same time, once this qualification is obtained, it can be used for almost a lifetime. The probability of the teacher ’s qualification certificate being revoked is 25%, which is 25 times smaller than that of doctors and lawyers.
"We can promote legislation to protect teachers in public schools, which will definitely be welcomed by teachers across the country, and then set up a teachers' union to protect the basic rights of teachers. In the process, private universities that you and I have come out with, Dig out all the good teachers and give them a much higher salary than those in public universities. This way the remaining teachers in public universities are still huge, but there are no good teachers anymore, and things are easier to manage. "Sheffield said In the end, the mystery is finally revealed. If you want to destroy the public education system, you must first turn the teaching staff into waste. The students taught by waste are naturally waste.
The basic protection for teachers is necessary, and the children ca n’t be trapped by the wolf. At first, they must give up a little interest in exchange for long-term gains.
The income of public school teachers is not high, it can even be said to be very low and it is a dead salary. With good and bad work, the difficulty of work and the environment are getting worse with the differentiation of the rich and the poor in society, which has formed the extreme situation of teachers ’passive slack for a long time. Even if there are ideal and capable teachers, they can only wear out their enthusiasm and energy in the environment of inferiority and survival of the fittest, while bad teachers increase the teaching burden of good teachers, so that the school enters a vicious circle. .
The collapse of the public system of the United States actually happened to be caught up by the Republic. But when it actually started, it was at the peak of the Soviet Union. It's just that the consequences will take time to manifest, and the Soviet Union did not see that day. During the Cold War period during the full-scale confrontation, the United States obviously decayed slowly. The situation in the Soviet Union was rather special, and it was directly brain-dead.
Now Sheffield feels that it is entirely possible to enter this stage directly from the source. After all, his slave owner does not want to see his class struck. This is much more important than whether the United States will be stronger and stronger earlier.
First of all, we must consider our own class problem. Your class is stable. If you still have spare energy, it is not too late to care about the country.
If Roosevelt was told that two of the wealthy people in the United States were discussing how to destroy the public education system, he would definitely be very angry. In fact, Mr. President in the White House was indeed angry.
The source of anger is ignorance of the general, ready to sell the Panama Canal to the German slave owners. Sheffield had nothing wrong with his estimation. Roosevelt really valued the status of the Panama Canal. When the United Company obtained the right to dig the canal from the French, Roosevelt once expressed appreciation for Sheffield with his friends in private. But now it seems to be wrong.
If Sheffield changed hands from the French and sold the canal to the Germans who were even more difficult to deal with, it would be very difficult to handle. It is obvious that the Germans did not deal well.
"William refused and sold Canal Company to domestic companies. He meant that domestic companies did not have the strength to eat Canal Company. Each of them was a competitor of the United Company. He could n’t sleep.
Looking at the telegram sent by Rosen, Roosevelt was so angry that he had a new understanding of the selfish Sheffield.
Roosevelt frowned. He didn't want to watch the Panama Canal fall into the hands of the Germans. There was such an idea that he wanted to use the power of the country to confiscate the Panama Canal.
However, the coalition company is not so easy to deal with coal cartel, and the Panama Canal is not a domestic project after all, if this is done, it will have an impact on the country's reputation.
The United Company has a large private armed force abroad. This is what Roosevelt saw in Cuba during the American-Western War. He witnessed this private armed force, replacing the army who first landed on Cuban land. If the Panama Canal was forcibly confiscated, the United Company resisted.
So President Roosevelt is likely to create a record, using the national armed forces and private companies to fight a civil war, let ’s not talk about winning or not, even if he won, once one day he is not president, Lincoln ’s example is first.
"Let Rosen talk to the United Company, if there are any operational difficulties due to the Panama Canal, the federal government is a place to help, you can open your mouth. If you really don't want to continue to operate ..." Roosevelt hesitated at last. Grit his teeth, "Can sell the Canal Management Company to the country, this is all talkable."
At the Rockefeller Estate the next day, Sheffield met Rosen again. Since the other party appeared for the second time, it proved the judgment of the slave owner. President Roosevelt in the White House really did not want the ownership of the Panama Canal to become Germany.
"In fact, President Roosevelt knew clearly that Mr. William's role in the country and the importance of the joint company to the economy." Rosen said carefully. "The President has said many times that Mr. William is a representative of patriotic businessmen."
"Of course, I can talk about it, and I can also be patriotic." Sheffield turned around Erlang and said, "But the premise is that I have patriotic ability, I can't go patriotic on an empty stomach, right? If the joint companies all appear In view of operational difficulties, how about I still have time to patriotic? In this attack, the United Company suffered a lot of losses. I also hope that the federal government can understand that I ca n’t help. The German is also a good buyer. Will make me lose money. "
Rosen frowned secretly, as if the businessman in front of him didn't listen to his words.
