Chapter 17: Stunned

In the Capitol, the distinguished members of the two parties came out one after another. Judging from their tight faces, most of today ’s proposals did not have a good result, and for President Cleveland, the same thing happened. There was invisible pressure from the British Empire outside, and troubles from the domestic economic depression inside. The second time he entered the White House did not live well.
However, things are not over yet. There are already representatives of a large number of members of the Democratic Party who have been waiting in the White House. Be prepared to put pressure on Mr. President, who is both physically and mentally exhausted. This is not a question of negotiation. They are hoping that the President can agree to his own suggestions, rather than come and talk casually.
"The facts are very clear now. The Republican Party is on the sidelines and wants to put the President on the fire. The domestic economy is in a slump, and the British movement in the Caribbean is worrying." Anderson first surpassed among several lawmakers. Out, he said to Cleveland, who just returned, "Mr. President, the isolationism you stick to seems not to be supported by the people. For many people, they are expecting you to practice the coming of the American century, even if Just a little bit."
"This is the Republican Party's fanaticism, our army has only more than 30,000 people, how to confront the British." Cleveland's face with a haggard expression, the economic depression and the British policy of going north, are indeed a headache, "And now the domestic Prices have skyrocketed, and southern states have reported that this year ’s climate has led to lower-than-expected production of agriculture and animal husbandry, and that grains, grains, and meat have begun to rise.

"But this is our chance, isn't it? Mr. President!" Anderson lowered his head slightly and said with emphasis, "At this time two things happen together, it is the moment to awaken the trust of the people, about the grain and food now. The increase in prices only requires people to understand the suppression of the United Kingdom and we have the opportunity to regulate the domestic economy. In fact, the food panic in the southern states can be solved by the firm Democrat, Mrs. Annabel, who is in the hearts of farmers in the south With wide influence, as long as Mrs. Annabel is willing to help, the situation should not be a problem. "
"Let me think about it. If we are to demonstrate against the British, we now need a fearless person to stand up. On behalf of the federal government, we formally protest against the United Kingdom and preserve Venezuela's independence and stability. We need to find a candidate." President Cleveland fell into After a long period of consideration, several candidates flashed through my mind.
It must be admitted that he has been persuaded. The hardliners in these Democrats have very formal reasons. If we turn a blind eye to Venezuela ’s affairs today and succumb to the actions of the British Empire, the British Empire will do so without any resistance. Then the French can follow suit, and the Germans can do the same. Can later Italy and even Belgium do the same?
The America that President Monroe said was the America of the Americans, it really became a joke. The United States will sweep away in front of the entire American countries, and the image established after the war of independence will also disappear.
In the future, whoever in the Americas will take the words of the United States seriously will pull the European countries for their own purposes. There will definitely be more and more things. If the United States retreats this time, it will affect more than one Venezuela.
Of course, it ’s time for the people of the United States to show patriotism. Forget temporarily about the economic depression, forget about factory layoffs, forget about food prices rising, and forget about the cold winter. Let the people put all their passions on the British, and form a popular heart that hates the enemy.
"All the grains shipped today will be increased by another 10%. This is a list of the prices of various grains. Any dealer who does not obey will be expelled from the Farming and Animal Husbandry Association. You have heard of it!" New Orleans At the dock, a middle-aged man with a cowboy hat tucked in his waist, facing the ship's channel that was about to be sent out.
"The price is going to rise again. It's only a few days before the price changes again?" As soon as he heard the man say this, a man with a northern accent complained a little, "There are always some reasons?"
Starving you guys, Yankee? Love to buy or not to buy! The man in the cowboy hat thought contemptuously, and said indifferently, "This year's climate is somewhat abnormal, and it is a bit colder than in previous years. It may be the cause of the cold currents in the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, grain production may shrink, not just new The price of agricultural and animal husbandry products in Orleans is the same as in Texas and Mississippi. Even many farmers are waiting for prices to be sold, and the prices are higher than the agricultural and animal husbandry associations. This is also impossible. "
This is a truth. In fact, it is also the case. Ordinary farmers are best to be scared, as long as the farming and animal husbandry associations release negative news and make a time difference in unequal information. Ordinary farmers are naturally not afraid to act rashly, and at the same time have the heart to expect a price increase, they will only wait for the price to sell.
As for the weather, this is obviously an excuse to shirk, but it is just to say that the weather will often become a shady cloth, as is the case in Chinese and foreign history. Just push the weather up. It is not that our army is incompetent, but that there are unexpected circumstances.
"The weather in New Orleans is good and the climate is pleasant. I did see it this time, and it is still at the estuary of the Mississippi River. No wonder it was the center of the south. The group of planters who came back to visit this time were quite satisfied, Many local planters in Brazil have a tendency to immigrate, but I did not agree, but instead came back and asked your grandmother about it. "Sheffield, who has just returned to Arlington, did not dare to hide things a little secretly. Talking, waiting for Annabel's judgment.
"Just do whatever you want. You are the only heir of the Sheffield family and have no competitors. Unlike your grandfather, you have to rely on me to help." Annabel said indifferently, "You're a failure It ’s a good thing a few times, it ’s more useful than what I ’ve taught you. So do n’t worry, you ’ll do it right.

"Who hasn't come from scratch? When my parents organized the slave hunting team to go to Africa, the conditions were very difficult." Annabel mentioned his life as a child. "Your grandfather was holding the Yankee to catch the underground railway. The gun sleeps. "
"That's really hard!" Sheffield opened her mouth openly, and the underground railway seemed to be the name of the Yankees in the north who came to steal the blacks and brought them to the north to liberate the blacks. Of course, in the eyes of the southern Dixie, this is a very simple thief, and he changed the topic stiffly, "It seems that the train station is busy, and many trucks are waiting."
"They have money!" Annabel's words were ambiguous. If nothing unexpected, after the agricultural and animal husbandry products were shipped out of the South, she would still have a lot of increase in her pricing. Westerners. The Yankee hoarding the goods will increase the price to the point where the locals can afford it.
