Chapter 216: Pit an expeditionary force

After arriving in Manila, Sheffield can be said to be busy and non-stop, continuously contacting the military, the Spanish, the Chinese and the Philippine army loyal to Spain. It can be said that it was for the colonial cause of the United States, and it was dead. The degree of conscientiousness can be seen from the employees of the United Company, such as Manila Port and other shores.
Now Sheffield has a sketch of the municipal plan and general comments on the construction of Manila, of which, of course, the expansion of the Manila prison, railway transportation and exploration team, etc ...
Anyway, the boss of the contemporary East India Company now feels that he is not doing well now in front of several generals. He was not ashamed of the joint company at all, and the generals of the military were very satisfied, especially General MacArthur, and thanked directly, "What the joint company did for the country is moving."
"It's all for the United States. In fact, people in the business market know that our joint company's attitude towards the military is the best. This is obvious to both the navy and the army." Sheffield put his hands in his hands, and he was adamant. Gestures are always like this. Which company will the US military follow? No!
Not to mention that Sheffield ’s own business in the United States is a pivotal figure. He can take the lead and help the US military clear obstacles. Is this what ordinary people can do? Even the current domestic public opinion praises what the United Company did during the war.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out. Some so-called conscientious workers are actually the enemies of the United States, attacking the joint company's move to follow the expedition of military law and war money. But this is not about the big picture.
Although in this time in Manila, because they have established good relations with the navy and army. The opinions of many military generals helped the United Company become a war contractor. But no one can deny that Sheffield did it. He is in the Philippines himself. If Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. are here, it is estimated that they can share a piece of the pie. But if they don't, they can't blame themselves.
The ability to benefit from the war depends on how much military spending the United States is prepared to conquer the Philippines. If the entire war of conquest of the Philippines allocates billions of dollars in military expenditure, how much of this share can the joint venture share?
Although this is an unpredictable problem, Sheffield has fulfilled all the requirements of the Expeditionary Force as much as possible. For example, he has repaired a very good building in the city center of Manila to open a casino.
The soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force left home thousands of miles and came to the Philippines with enthusiasm to fight and live a life that has no tomorrow. War is cruel, and it is very important to release psychological pressure. As a well-known young rich in the United States, Sheffield is anxious to establish a place for soldiers to release psychological pressure. This is understandable.
It is important to know that let alone gambling in the United States, even lottery tickets are illegal, and soldiers cannot be allowed to be saints from birth to death. It is the basic morality of a conscience entrepreneur to enable soldiers to live comfortably while they are alive. This is the greatest patriotism.
Sheffield's actions in the Philippines in the Philippines can be said to be doing his best, which won the unanimous appreciation of the generals present, and they all said that if the United States is an enterprise such as a joint company, why not worry about the United States.
The reason why the Philippine Democratic Army planned by Sheffield is called this name is naturally because of its own Democratic Party status. Furthermore, it is always necessary to play a good name to fool people. Without looking at a bunch of African warlords, liberating this, patriotic, or republican or democratic, maybe they do n’t know what they are, and often the cruelest atrocities come from people who claim to be freedom fighters.
The Philippine Democratic Army currently has more than 30,000 members, including employees brought by the United Company from California. At present, the company has recruited more than 70,000 people. The Chinese workers who came later are of course the same as the previous Chinese workers. They only found themselves after arriving in the Philippines. I was scammed, but with their previous Gu Cheng's experience, I immediately appeased, saying that the land in the Philippines is not strained, as long as I can make a profit for the joint company, I can use the land to discount it.
Sheffield is completely generous with others. Anyway, this place of the Philippines, it is almost impossible for the United States to merge into the homeland and become a state. Since it is not its own place, it is naturally not a pain to send it out.
If the Chinese workers also have their own piece of land, and a woman can support herself, Sheffield believes that they will never cross the ocean and will not even come to the Philippines. Facts have proved that this idea is very correct. In the eyes of hiring Chinese workers, the land is hard currency equivalent to the US dollar.
The land embodies the deepest and simplest emotions of people and witnesses the changes of history. It can be said that the land is stable, the people are at ease, and the society is solid. The society has built a family-owned, self-sufficient natural economy. This has also caused land to become the most essential means of production for the Chinese, and "facing the loess and facing the sky" has become a life. The most authentic portrayal, and today, land is still about livelihood, but the bond between the Chinese and the land has long been deeply rooted in the blood.
Sheffield fully understands this plot, and this is an absolutely correct understanding, because the biggest asset of the joint company is land. He blended in the American-Western War, and also used the dip manor as the first purpose. This is the case with the United Allies in Cuba, but he himself went to the Philippines to copy the bottom.
Even if there is no land, there is nothing. Land is the most important resource. A country like Britain, France and Germany can only be strong for a while. A country that dares to speak aloud 100 years later, no territory is small.
Using the temptation of the land, Sheffield organized an armed force of more than 30,000 people. The weapons were naturally received from the Spanish colonial army. As for supplies, many Chinese workers are now using the land he has copied to produce, hoping to achieve self-sufficiency in malicious ways. The Philippine Democratic Army is already a bit of a production and construction corps.
While preparing for the war, Chinese laborers are still building Manila, so that Sheffield has formed a cycle, arming the Chinese laborers with Spanish weapons and using the land to make promises. At the same time, the work of these workers is bound, and the investment is small and the return is large.
Even he has prepared a railway now. When the situation is a little safer, other domestic companies are coming to the Philippines, and they can't change the fact that the company is dominated by the joint company.
"It really solves a lot of the difficulties of our military. I thought William might be inexperienced. Now it seems that choosing Sheffield United as a contractor is the most correct decision we made. You must know that many members of Congress This is quite a bit of criticism, or it was our repeated suggestions, and it was settled out of the joint company's input and help. "General Merritt, commander of the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Army, exclaimed.
After another round, several generals inspected were very satisfied and completed this inspection. Sheffield also returned to her residence, waiting for the people coming from the country. Since Evelyn returned to the country for physical reasons, although there are other female secretaries walking on her behalf, she finally feels that there is something missing.
Fortunately, these days are coming to an end, Sheffield keeps putting out his pocket watch to watch the time, it should be almost falling!
Not long after Jesra pushed in, Sheffield looked suspiciously and said, "It seems to be late, which is normal. After all, the Pacific Ocean is so big, and it is very normal to have a little time error."
"No, boss, Miss Anne has arrived, but we are a little delayed at the pier. Several soldiers were drunk and blocked the path of Miss Anne's party, but there was no problem. The people of the Alamo Guard at the pier immediately found out Now, drive away a few soldiers! "Jesra saw Sheffield's face clear and cloudy, and her voice was getting smaller and smaller.
"Ah! You mean? There are a few drunk soldiers who saw my woman want to tease me?" Sheffield opened his mouth with a weird look while rubbing his chin with his hand, asking rhetorically, "Do you think this Is something trivial? "
"Boss!" Jessie opened his mouth, and heard Sheffield shouting at the table, "Bring me over, the gangsters, scumbags, and social scum of the expeditionary army. A group of fart people at the bottom of the society, The cannon fodder on the battlefield, and dare to tease my women with wine, what are they. "
When Annie came in, Sheffield took the girl into her arms and mumbled, "It's scared to death when I hear Jesra's situation."
Anne raised a pair of prime hands and stroked Sheffield's back, feeling a sense of happiness surrounding herself, sweetly saying, "I worry you, I blame me for coming to see you, and I miss you for a long time. It was a false alarm. "
"I don't think this is a false alarm. My perception of the Expeditionary Force has dropped a lot now. If you really have something, I don't know what to do." Sheffield didn't let go of her arms, but made Anne Sweating, the weather in Manila is so constant, every day is summer.
For a long time, I asked if I passed through Sheffield carefully, and it was considered to be relieved and stretched my face, "You'd better be like me, with enough bodyguards wherever you go, there are always some who don't know awe, and don't know themselves, Idiots think that there is no price to pay for doing things. It ’s not that I say there are so many people like this in the United States. "
"Got it, I listen to you!" Annie didn't know where to put her hands, and rubbed her clothes corner embarrassedly.
This look seemed to make Sheffield smell of a house essay. Let's not talk about this issue for the first time. This matter will never be so forgotten. Originally he wanted to wait for the federal government's decision, but in view of the expeditionary army drunk soldiers. Performance, he felt that he could change the way of thinking, for example, copying a Maine thief shouting to catch a thief, anyway, so many soldiers in the expeditionary army, a few people died for the country, that all died well.
For the sake of the country, it seems nothing to pit a expeditionary force.
