Chapter 16: I am also patriotic

From Annabel's point of view, the economic depression is definitely a good time. The sad days of depression are that for the average person, they simply cannot benefit from the depression, that is, you are not rich enough.
During the economic depression, bonds collapsed, gold was lost, and factories closed, and a large number of workers lost their jobs. Therefore, most people will not benefit. But in any case, people have to eat if the economy is good or not. For agricultural and animal husbandry products, when the economic crisis comes, when the crisis occurs again, people always need agricultural products every day. Therefore, industrial products will have a deflationary environment, while agricultural products will not be affected in any way.
Even if it is influential, it is possible to raise prices through control and pass on your losses to others. Of course, ordinary farmers cannot do this, their land and resources do not have this ability. But Annabel felt that she could do it.
There are very few people who dare to perform reverse operations at this time. There are not many people who can do this because it requires a lot of capital and the ability to judge the bottom of the crisis in advance. In fact, there are dangers, and if there is no danger, you will never have a chance in life.
"I believe that the federal government has the ability to solve this problem, can it really be possible to lend to London, but if the channels of Morgan and Dupont are not easy to use, I also have friends in London and Paris." Annabel's face remained unchanged. The depression didn't care, the high attitude, and several other lawmakers were very envious ...
"Compared with the domestic economic fluctuations, it seems that the two parties have been quarreling recently. I don't believe that the Republican jerks dare to go to war with Britain. They know that Cleveland strictly adheres to isolationism, but it is just a mess." Annabel just raised a mouthful In the face of economic depression, he began to ask Washington what he thought of the situation in the Caribbean.
"The Republican Party can also fight? From the history of the United States to the present, which war is their leading? It is not the struggle of our Democrats to have today's United States." The man sitting next to Anderson stretched out his bushy beard. Dismissively said, "Before the Civil War, the Republican Party was just a local political party, how can they have a say."
"The Whig party has long been disintegrated, don't always mention it before." Anderson frowned slightly and stopped, and then looked at Annabel again, explaining softly, "There are indeed many people in Parliament who feel that they should be like Britain. Show our attitude. "
"Why? With the 30,000 Army of the United States?" Annabel chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you raising arms first, thinking about demonstrations? For decades, when did Yankee do this? Be brave, why is it so difficult for the Rifle Association to work on Yankee ’s site? What does the territory of the United States have to do with them today? They voted? "
I used to ridicule Yankee and the Republican Party as usual, and Annabel thought about it silently and shook his head slightly, "But those hypocrites in Britain are indeed a bit excessive. They always have to give the United States a little space, and they must intervene everywhere. People can't stand it. "
The relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom has always been grinning, especially in recent years. But this is not the initiative of the United States, but the British Empire ’s sense of presence in Latin America is becoming stronger.
The main forces before the United Kingdom were in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile and other countries, such as Venezuela, Colombia and other northernmost countries in South America. Although they had important influence, they could not be said to be dominant. Therefore, since the 1980s, the United Kingdom has increased its penetration into this region. At the same time, in the 1980s, it began to exert force on the Caribbean and Mexico. Especially for the Caribbean countries.
Two years ago, the British established the Antigua military base and gradually occupied the Caribbean based on this. This is the British northbound plan.
To put it bluntly, although President Monroe called out the Americas as the Americas as early as seventy years ago, until now, Moneroism has almost no sense of existence in the eyes of European countries, and his declaration is equivalent to fart. But it ’s just something that American fart people hailed. Just yell in your country. No one really takes it seriously.
The main means by which countries safeguard national interests and fight for international status is war, and the most important tool is the army. In the era of Moneroism, the United States had only fewer than 10,000 troops, and the situation is now a little better, but only 30,000. On paper, the army of the United States is not as threatening as Italy. The sum of the navy and army is only one tenth of the British army.
The problem is that this British Northbound plan has already caused Venezuela's alert. This is the case for small countries. There is no good choice for Venezuela. There is only one very bad and not so bad. Has n’t the United States always advocated that America is the America of the Americans?
"We must show the attitude of the United States!" Anderson is also a force in the Democratic Party that advocates demonstrations to the British. "Venezuela has given us benefits. If we do not express it, the consequences will be extremely serious."
"What interests? Say something specific!" Annabel said with a slight forehead. As for what America is the America of the Americans, she didn't care, it had nothing to do with her family. But what about benefits, listen first and then talk.
"Madam, this is the land in the delta of the Orinoco River. Venezuela is ready to lease it to us." Anderson lowered his voice. "This is the news I asked from the Venezuelan embassy."
"Hmm!" Annabel's eyelids rolled slightly, her thoughts flashed on her face, and she turned around and shouted, "Bring the map!"
Annabel, who wore glasses for a short time, said to several guests, "President Monroe is right, America is America of America!" Orinoco Plains seems to be a good land for agriculture and animal husbandry. It is also close to Guyana and can also be used as a place to build factories. Now is the time when the Democratic Party is in power. If the British can be bluffed, the Sheffield family will definitely gain a lot in it.
If the British were humiliated without bluffing, it would have nothing to do with the Sheffield family. Anyway, the current domestic economy is not good, and the chance of the Democratic Party wanting to be re-elected is very small. It is better to take advantage of it before taking office.
"I knew that my wife must be on our side. When I went back, I contacted other members of the parliament to protest against the British." Anderson was overjoyed when he heard Annabel's statement.
"The Sheffield family has always been patriotic!" Annabel stood up indifferently, walking towards the flagpole not far from the window, and the Southern Cross flag still fluttering in the wind.
After a few people left, Annabel picked up the phone and said,
In the name of the Texas Agro-Pastoral Association, we notified by telegram, the associations of New Mexico, Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Southern Louisiana Association Farm ranch, five days later, all the agricultural and animal husbandry products of the railway and waterway bound for the north will all increase in price by 5% to 10%, and each family can make appropriate adjustments. That's it. "
