Chapter 331: Against the president

"William, my admiration for you is really wider than the Pacific!" Gale just sat down at Oak Manor and expressed his respect for Sheffield. There was an endless trend. Because he had just met Anne and was talking and laughing with Natalia outside.
No matter what method Sheffield used, anyway, this scene shocked Gael. If a man can achieve this degree, it would be worth his life.
"Annie knows that I have been irritable recently, so forgive my little mistake. She wouldn't mind too much about this kind of thing." Sheffield took a cigar and took a deep breath, lamenting, "The mistress culture among French noble It can be said that it is very rampant, and Anne also heard about it, so I do n’t care. However, if you want to talk about men, you still have to go to Asia to achieve the enviable life you say, preferably West Asia, Ottomans, and Arabs. The place."
Although East Asia can also embody the authority of men, it is still a bit worse than West Asia. If this were South Asia, the of a woman in heaven that was called a man is no longer a matter of patriarchy. The system of burial of widows in India has been overthrown by the British for less than a hundred years.
Indian widows are obeyed from the royal princes to the civilian slaves. Because the woman did not want to be buried, there have been cases where the Indian king died, and the queen took the initiative to allow the British to annex it in order to avoid burial.
That year, the King of Sharma died and his concubine Lisa must be buried. Princess Lisa and King Sharma were originally political marriages, and there was no love between the two parties, which put Princess Lisa in despair.
In order to protect herself, Princess Lisa started a self-help. Princess Lisa was well-educated by the British colonists and she had a clear understanding of feminism. In order to survive, she found her old friend Captain Burch. Captain Burch is an official of the East India Company and has a first love with Lisa. Lisa said that if Birch came to rescue her, he would not only allow the East India Company to enter the Kingdom of Sharm, but also get her.
After careful consideration, East India sent 400 British soldiers and 3,000 Indian soldiers to rescue Princess Lisa. Eventually successfully annexed this small country.
But Sheffield was not talking about family status, but about the attitude of President Roosevelt to Trust with two other slave owners. When he was still in Houston, he got in touch with McHale and Gail. It is a common threat encountered by the entire trust company, so it is natural to cope with it.
"We don't have many big trust companies in the south. This problem is more urgent for Yankee than us." Gael said quite easily. "We can look at it first to see if Yankee can resist Roosevelt's attack. . "
"If you can't say that, there is no, there is no, there is not Yang Ji. There are many people. We have few problems. The threat is common!" McHale shook his head, expressing his disagreement with Gail's opinion, and asked instead. What do you think of Texas? "
"Carter said that now the state government is still very calm. You also know that Texas has a special status and rarely responds to the coalition government's decision." Sheffield said, "Even if the Texas government is really It ’s impossible to follow suit in other states. "
The two nodded, and they all knew that Texas had a special status in the United States, a status that no other state had.
"The two of us have already discussed this matter with the governor, at least the state of Louisiana fully supports the joint company." McHale mentioned Lange Hunt's attitude, saying that there is no problem with the state government.
Sheffield nodded. This is the kind of support he hopes to get, and that is the support of state power. In the history of constitutional government, the struggle between state power and federal power occupies a very important part of the national political life. State power continues to challenge and threaten the authority of the Federation. Once the interests of the two conflict, and the contradiction cannot be reconciled, state powerism will quickly counterattack, questioning the power of the Federation, with "sovereignty in the state" at least as "people or state" "Will" to fight against the Federal Chamber, especially in the southern states.
Alan Burr, who failed to run for president seventy years ago, wanted to secretly form the New England Commonwealth in an attempt to become independent. This incident is enough to illustrate the seriousness of state power at that time. The pinnacle of state power development is the American Civil War. The end of the Civil War declared the total failure of state power, and state power became history.
But in Sheffield's view, state power has not become history, at least for now, otherwise there is no way to explain the similarity of state laws in the southern states, excluding black people.
Compared with other companies, the biggest advantage of the joint company is that the main force is in the south, and the business development is also mainly in the great west. Anyway, I did not look at the north. The authority of the federal government is strengthened. The Theodore Roosevelt era is a very important period of time. Sheffield has made up his mind to work with this president who increases the authority of the federal government.
"This is no less than fighting another civil war!" McHale said dignifiedly, very worried, and the last confrontation between state power and the federal government turned out to be well-known. Their slaves mainly said what was left, With only this life left, the family was almost killed.
"Not the same, this time is the confrontation between the federal government and the entire trust." Sheffield comforted the two. Don't do anything else, scare yourself first, "We have many allies, this time the confrontation is indistinguishable. The Yankees and Dixies, but the rich and the poor, of course, we can be better for the poor, but we cannot let the president force us to do this. I will not accept this negative role. "
It seems that the Civil War has really left a lot of sequelae. When I heard that I was going to deal with the President, these two people who were usually mad, looked forward and looked back one by one.
Isn't there still standard oil in it? The allies are still very strong, and even with the worst results, Sheffield made up his mind that he will never surrender until Standard Oil is split.
"End of talk?" Anne walked in with a smile, followed by Natalia's figure, and mentioned two men who had just left when she entered.
Sheffield rubbed his forehead and ignored the anomalous scene in front of him, and said tiredly, "When I heard that I was going to fight against the president, neither of them had any confidence. The Civil War scared them both. This matter You should also look for powerful allies. Many companies in the South are really lacking in confidence when encountering this kind of thing. "
"I'm afraid, the president can't use the army to dismantle the trust. He is just a person." Anne grumbled dissatisfiedly. "After McHale and Gail returned to the country, how much did you help them? Not at the critical moment. what."
"Annie is right. Isn't it true that you still have a mental hospital in your hand. Finding two mental illnesses collapsed him." Natalia waved fiercely with her small fist, her teeth clawed.
"Good idea!" Sheffield grinned. He remembered that Roosevelt had actually been assassinated. He didn't know whether it had anything to do with the dismantling of the trust business. Anyway, such a dark man in the slave owner's heart just thought it was relevant.
Mental illness is too powerful. Ordinary people dare not provoke mental illness. A very important reason is that the psychotic killer in the movie is really not uncommon in reality.
Now the slave owner felt that the two women she was looking for were more courageous than the two friends she had just left.
"Don't be so extreme. Hasn't a president stepped down after four years? Delay the time and stop him from staying in the president's seat during the next election. The matter is over." Anne expressed different opinions. The problem must be solved by violence. "
"Hmm!" Sheffield opened her mouth and said nothing in the end. Things are not as simple as Anne said. In a country as large as the United States, major companies also have a limit to cover the sky in one hand. There can be no such thing as a tycoon like a Korean chaebol, so that the presidential decree will not go out of the blue house.
Public opinion is really important for the United States. Of course, using elections to prevent Roosevelt from being re-elected will certainly do, but the chance of failure is also very large, which is different from William Bryan who pulls hatred without taking office. Roosevelt is now the president. When the two trusts are really demolished, so that citizens of the whole country can see it, it is too late for the major companies to join forces to stop it.
"The thing that disappointed me most was that the two of them had too little courage. Obviously, the trust in the north was facing more pressure than us, but the two of them were timid." Sheffield grinned. "It's not as good as the two of you. If you ca n’t stand it, the joint company will be split and I will give you the property. "
Sheffield stood up and said, "Annie, Natalia, you are concerned about organizing the Expo. I am going to St. Louis to talk to Rockefeller Jr. about this issue."
When he met in St. Louis, Rockefeller Jr. directly criticized Roosevelt inhumanely, "Guess what he said. He said that monopoly is not illegal. What is illegal is that you cannot use monopoly status to organize competition. This is illegal. It is necessary to protect the competitive rights and legitimate interests of others. "
"Yes, dismantling your standard oil is actually good for you, so your company will become more." Sheffield translated Roosevelt's words along this line of thought, which probably means that.
Rockefeller Jr. clearly understood this kind of ridicule, without a good air, "I will ask you a word, what is your attitude?"
"I must be on the side of Standard Oil. This is simply a matter of no choice, but it also depends on who he is operating on first, and if he is operating on the railroad system controlled by the Morgan Alliance, at first I was not unable to watch the excitement. "Sheffield patted her thigh to ensure that she would never stay out of the matter."
"Then we will fight against the president once!" Rockefeller Jr. said with a fist.
