Chapter 423: Dissolution of Northern Securities

The great United States naturally breeds such great slave owners as Sheffield, which is determined by the national system. In the eyes of slave owners, there is no system or civilization that is special, and there are two types of state power, one is money management and the other is power management.
Fortunately, the great human lighthouse is like this. Knox, the attorney general, has to be screened every four years. Shepherd, the slave owner, will not use it. Although private property is inviolable, it is only to some extent That's right, but this risk of inheritance is much smaller than that of politicians.
As long as Sheffield is alive, he will always be a slave owner, and even if Knox is alive, he cannot always be the Minister of Justice. The basis of the two is completely different. With this understanding, Sheffield feels that the Attorney General ’s anger is also understandable. It ’s okay to look at monkeys as a remedy for boring life.
This court debate can be said to be splendid, especially the Attorney General Knox, worthy of the status of antitrust fighter, almost exerted 200% of his fighting power. As an attorney general, he can not compete with James in the debate. To win or lose, you must know that James is a famous barrister in the United States.
Even following this trend, Sheffield felt that Northern Securities did not have an advantage. As a member of a businessman, he was prejudiced against the federal government. Sheffield strictly said that she hates all governments. As long as the government restricts itself, it must be hated.
"If the Northern Securities Company is dismantled in this trial, it is estimated that the following series of tobacco trusts and the like will not end well." Sheffield sighed with sympathy for these companies.
"That's really bad news, I hope it doesn't happen." Edith Rockefeller was also serious and deeply felt the necessity of bourgeois unity.
Although so far, there is no trend that the federal government has a motive for standard oil, but if there are too many antitrust laws, it may be easier when it comes to standard oil.
The lips of the prosecution and the defense echoed in the tense trial hall. The repeated arguments in the lower courts ultimately came down to two focuses: first, whether the Northern Securities Company restricted or conspired to restrict interstate commerce or competition; and second, whether the huge monopoly of power destroyed the rights of others.
These two electricity became the most intense place where James and Knox confronted each other. In the empty trial hall, their voices echoed with waves, and seemed to echo in everyone's hearts.
After the court debate ended, the nine judges of the Supreme Court disagreed and were unable to go to trial in court. They announced the adjournment of the trial and announced the results of the sentencing, which is now irrelevant to the Ministry of Justice and Northern Securities Co. At the stage of the debate, no one knows what will happen.
In a stormy environment, Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller invited Hartman and Hill, two railway giants, to a party to talk about their prospects for the final trial.
The slave owner certainly hopes that the North Securities Company will be demolished, but he will not speak out, but will express his support for the resistance of the railway system, showing the unity of the monopoly bourgeoisie, "Who makes us not make money, we will take his life, If my company is dismantled, I will definitely make the Ministry of Justice pay the price. "
The slave-owner who stood and spoke without backache, slammed at the two railway giants, hoping that the two would give Knox a powerful look, and it would be better to let the attorney general disappear.
Edith Rockefeller was quiet, but with her knowledge of the slave owner, it can be concluded that now is the time for the bad water to rise. It is clear that I want to kill Knox and then quickly, but encourage others to start.
But the two sides were not familiar with this situation. Edith Rockefeller felt that the slave owner's so straightforward proposal was a bit overdone, and said in a round field, "William is not very old, considering the matter is not very comprehensive, the two gentlemen laughed. "
"Ah, yeah, I just said it casually." Under the severe eye warning of Edith Rockefeller, Sheffield counseled decisively and admitted his mistake very sincerely, "I am young and incomprehensible. Edith Rockefeller took good care of me. I would n’t want to work hard unless Edith helped me.

Hartman and Hill do n’t know what I really do n’t want to work hard on, and it sounds a bit confused. However, the relationship between Sheffield and the Princess of the Oil Kingdom is simply something that the high society is unspoken. There is also no discussion about Edith Rockefeller's behavior of eating tender grass.
Hartman made a haha, "William's age is so successful, when it is inevitable to think about things, they are all considered according to the smoothest assumptions, but also thanks to Edith's constant help. The matter of Northern Securities Company, but also There will be results after a while. We will not talk about the Ministry of Justice. "
"Hartman was right, thank you for inviting us to be a guest. It was really moving to stand with us at this time." Hill didn't know what he was thinking, his face was a bit gloomy, but he recovered immediately As is.
"Hill, don't be like this, aren't we trying our best to get a result that is beneficial to us." Hartman said, and then said to the Sheffields, "I hope we can finally sit back like today, relaxed together."
After the two had left, Sheffield said to Edith Rockefeller, "It seems that it will take a while for the results to come out. Listening to what they mean, it should be fighting for something in secret."
"It's stupid not to fight, nine officials, and five to win." Edith Rockefeller said angrily, "So what you just said is everything, even hinting that the two of you killed."
"I don't have it!" Sheffield denied, suggesting that this thing was not stated, and since it was not stated, it was not.
Since the results could not be produced in a short time, Sheffield did not need to lean dryly in Washington, and he was ready to return to New Orleans in this pack. This time, he went back together with Edith Rockefeller. The north has entered the winter. According to the agreement between Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller, the slave owner ca n’t stand the life that is always on the road. In order to save time, Edith Rockefeller leads the children every winter and spring. Live in New Orleans and avoid Chicago ’s not very friendly climate.
So this time, Edith Rockefeller took the children and moved into the New Orleans manor, bought the manor next to Oak Manor, and renamed Edith Manor to live.
Near the end of the year, Evelyn also went south from Los Angeles to save the slave owner's distance, and the province came to comfort one by one. The women's general behavior made the slave owners very touched. Even if they were carrying weight, all of this was worth it.
"What is happiness, I'm very happy to see you." Sheffield cheeked and said to Evelyn, Natalia, Edith Rockefeller, "After Christmas, I'm going back to Arlington A trip. "
Of course, in this process, I have to find time to comfort Sato Kiko, a girl wandering alone, and press the watch first.
"You're hiding it!" Sheffield returned to Arlington Manor and reached out to touch Annie's already swollen belly. Ha waist listened to Annie's belly and kissed the belly heavily. "I feel like I The goal for which I am working is getting closer and closer. You said that I was forced to inherit such a large family property. None of this was in vain. My grandmother wanted me to defeat all my opponents and become the only one, because in her eyes, if the civil war won This goal has long been achieved. "
"There is only one Sheffield family above everyone else?" Anne lowered her head in the man's ear and whispered, "Do you think you are close to this goal now?"
"It's almost the same, but the Democrats have come to power." Sheffield took a deep breath, "I will let Yankee know what real collusion between officials and businessmen is."
Facts have proved that this feeling of exhaustion is true. From the end of the year, the slave owners have been receiving good news constantly. At the Portsmouth Naval Base in New Hampshire in the United States, the peace agreement signed by the representatives of Japan and Russia announced the date. The end of the Russian War. President Roosevelt of the United States was pleased to mediate. After ten meetings, with the coordination of Europe and the United States, Russia was forced to sign a peace treaty with Japan in Portsmouth.
For the first time, the United States used the main power to let the two powers shake hands in their own land. This scene successfully inspired the pride of citizens. However, for Sheffield, after reversing the entire clause, he did not see any word of compensation from DiRussian. This shows that Morgan wanted to expect DiRussian to make repayments, and then Japan could not repay the loan.
In the headquarters of the United Company, Sheffield does n’t need to conscientiously maintain the unity of the monopoly bourgeoisie as he did in Washington, and exposes his nature. In the face of Anne, he is gloating, "Morgan also has today, I heard that the loan exceeds 8,000 Ten thousand dollars, waiting for the Japanese to return? He can wait. "
"Look at you like that!" Anne was holding some baby clothes in her hand and looked at Sheffield with a smile.
As the spring approached, the Supreme Court debated for several weeks and finally came up with the Supreme Court's trial results. The five people of the Supreme Court stood on the side of the federal government and made a final ruling. The Northern Securities Company must be dissolved.
In just three months, Morgan suffered two bad news one after another.
