Chapter 26: Black water, black gold

Annabell walked out of the church slowly, and said to Sheffield, who was silent behind her, without looking back, "I'm older, I don't have time to slowly change your mind, you have to accept the essence of the world, This is not a negotiation, but a necessity. "
"Ordinary people should think about what they should do for the United States, and we are not ordinary people. What we should think about is what the United States can do for me. If this is not true, then the United States will not make sense to me." Anna Bell got on the carriage with the help of a servant, leaving Sheffield with a position that said indifferently, "Now, some industries will be left to you to take care of, while I still have the energy, I can help you in some places. Do you have any ideas? "
"There are a lot of ideas, and I have been thinking recently." Sheffield naturally knew Lafayette's unspoken words, and what he really wanted was to restore the status of the United States.
Combined with the domestic and foreign situations in this era, Sheffield is not without a little idea. The internal form of the United States is that, according to some terminology of later generations, the current United States mainly depends on domestic demand for development, and does not rely heavily on external factors. This is also because the United States itself is a country of immigrants, and there is a constant flow of blood from outside populations. Another aspect is that it cannot be done.
Because the industry of the United States can now be said to be on the scale, it has already ridden the dust, and the development momentum is far greater than that of the so-called old imperialist countries in Europe, but it is only on the scale, and it is not competitive in terms of product power and quality.
This uncompetitive comparison can even compete with the Soviet Union decades later. The scale is not as powerful as the explosive force of the Republic a hundred years later, but the era is different, and the growth in this era is indeed shocking.
The internal environment is the industry of the United States, and it is still in the stage of extensive development. There is no powerful product in scale. It is not as well-known in the world as European countries, which makes it impossible to sell. The external environment is a country in Europe led by the British Empire, which treats Moneroism as farting and prevents the United States from establishing influence in the Americas.
The industrial products of the United States cannot match Europe and can only rely on cost reduction to find the market, so the poor Latin American countries under the eyes are very important, because at this stage the products of the United States can only rely on the geographical position and scale of the United States, barely cooperating with Europe. Latin American competition, if even Latin America can not win, other markets are not opponents of European industrial products.
If you ca n’t compete with European countries even in poor countries, then do n’t mention the larger market. At present, there are not many companies that can really get out of the United States. Among them, Standard Oil is the best among them.
If the industrial products of the United States have been blocked and digested at home, unable to transfer contradictions to the outside world, economic crises will occur frequently, either inflation or deflation.
Naturally, Latin American countries have become extremely important. When I was weak, I closed the door to develop industry, and it was not appropriate for me to have a basic closed door to build a car. If I want to go further, I must open the door to other markets. At present, the United States has only one choice, such as Latin America. This is the Venezuelan crisis and why the United States has behaved so belligerently. Even being prepared to be beaten to the head and breaking the blood, it should be made clear that Moneroism is not empty talk and it cannot be bankrupted.
But to be fair, the United States at the end of the nineteenth century, although far from being a white lotus. But compared with the old imperialist countries in Europe, it is also worthy of the beacon of mankind. The United States does not need to be perfect, as long as it looks better than Europeans. This is a world that is worse than bad.
"Grandma, if possible, I want to go to Europe to see what kind of environment it is in Europe." When she returned to the manor and got off the carriage, Sheffield asked with a look of anticipation.
"Europe? What are you going to do? Forget it, since you want to go, I need some time to prepare and arrange for you to go." Annabel actually wanted to object, but when she thought of other reasons, she still didn't say anything. , Hesitated and said, "Your father is in Paris. If you have time, it's okay to see each other, but it doesn't matter."
Annabel is already disappointed with the heirs of the previous generation, but she believes that the heirs of this generation will not repeat the same mistakes. What good is Europe? Why are there so many foreigners in the United States now?
"Preparation? What are you going to prepare for?" Sheffield didn't understand. Going to Europe and going to Europe, there is nothing worth preparing for.
"People you, safety is the most important thing!" Annabel glanced at Sheffield. "Even if you have a great ideal, you can live a long time to achieve it. Positive example, look at Rockefeller Rockefeller, this upstart all his life There are only two ideals to make money and live long. The negative example is your grandfather and my husband. "
"Oh, the Texas Militia?" Sheffield had always felt that it was not normal for some visible operations to remain like the existence of his former family. There must be unknown dark forces, but where? He seems to have never seen the person concerned.
"The militia is a thing after the dissolution of the Texas Legion. After all, they are not nominally a private force in the family. They can be used as a demonstration tool. They cannot be expected to do it when they really do things." Naturally, it will not hide, "They are outside the United States, the station on the African side is Liberia, and the station on the American side is in Haiti. This force has nothing to do with your grandfather, it is my family."
Upon hearing these two countries, Sheffield already knew something about them. In the later generations, these two countries are the two major licking dogs of the well-known United States, and I have to say that Galeries Lafayette will really choose a place. But it may have been chosen by the seniors.
These are similar to the predecessors of capitalism. In fact, Annabel was an armed force engaged in international transportation and trade in labor when he was young. Generally speaking, he is a slave hunter. There are more than 2,000 people, Liberia has 500 people, and Haiti has Nearly two thousand, seemingly ocean shipping staff, but the essence has not changed.
It is certainly not enough for more than two thousand people to fight. Some killing and robbery is more than enough.
"Is there no official name? Just called the slave hunter?" Sheffield scratched her scalp, was she too blatant?
"Your grandfather wanted to change their name to Blackwater when they were alive. I don't like this name very much. Africa is the land of gold, and later changed its name to Sheffield Blackgold." Annabel laughed dumbly, "I can't use the telegram. They will be here in a few days, and will send you to Europe when the time comes. "
"Good name!" Sheffield slaps her arrogantly. She really didn't find any difference between the two names.
