Chapter 39: Ruhr

Sheffield ’s route is actually very similar to that of the First World War, when the Germans mainly entered Belgium to attack France. It's just that he is the other way around. Sheffield seemed to feel in a trance along the way. The millions of troops on both sides were fighting and fighting, and blood invaded every inch of the land.
As for whether the world war will break out, this is almost certain. No matter how big Sheffield has done in the business field, that is nothing more than personal will, but state will exists between states.
This kind of state will all exist in Europe, but the United States is just in its infancy. At present, the federal government of the United States at most thinks about whether or not to let European powers always treat Moneroism as fart and take care of the United States' face.
And these old European imperialist countries are not thinking about face, and they are not prepared to just like the United States, just to speak out against the oppressive enemy.
It can be seen from the election of the French Republic that even the romantic French are turning right collectively. Should the imperial governments of Germany and Russia say anything? This mood has been brewing for ten or twenty years, and war is almost inevitable. These imperial governments want to unite the will of the country, which is much simpler than the federal government of the United States.
This is really a matter of system. It is not easy for the United States to form a unified national will against the enemy. Afterwards, the United States was firmly ranked first in the world before it became simple. This year, the United States of America is nothing more than a mess. If the elections are approaching, the Republican Party will always come out to perform. If we come to power, President Cleveland will not give up the isolationism that has stood for many years and become tough. After all, the Democratic Party is responsible for the election. What if it continues to be in power?
On the fourth day of leaving Paris, John Connor came to tell Sheffield that he had successfully traced the footsteps of the Secretary of State and entered the territory of the German Empire.
"Oh?" Sheffield looked out of the window. The scenery was no different. She looked at Annie. "I heard that the relationship between France and the Germans is not very good. You can try to pretend to be British when you arrive.",
The destination of Sheffield is the Ruhr area, the heart of German industry. The Ruhr area is Germany and one of the most important industrial areas in Europe. It can be said that the importance of the industry in the Ruhr area is that Germany launched two world wars. Material basis.
The Ruhr area supplies the German army that swept across Europe, the world-renowned companies Krupp, Rheinmetall, Fabien Chemical, etc. As a senior German fan, Sheffield is very familiar with the Ruhr area.
He has long been a junior German fan, and will not make mistakes in the illiteracy appraisal of the Second Empire and the Third Empire. William II ’s Second Empire broke out in the second year of the domestic food crisis. Under the circumstances, the two-line battle hardened against the Allied Powers Group for several years, and the gold content was higher than that of the Third Reich to integrate the entire Europe, but it was more convincing than the Soviet Union.
In the Ruhr area, the sky here clearly has nothing to do with birds and flowers. At a glance, there are towering chimneys everywhere, and the soaring dust reflects the general characteristics of this era.
Sheffield, who got off the train, put on a black mask and played a better role than nothing.
"What about me?" Annie dragged Sheffield's sleeve and pointed to her face. "Did you not prepare me?"
Before turning into the carriage, it became the scene that Anne was wearing a black mask and Sheffield reached over her nose to cover her nose. "Go to Bayer Company!" Sheffield commanded with a strong nasal voice.
"The environment here is bad, how come here?" Anne Wong with a mask grumbled, apparently extremely dissatisfied with the environment in the Ruhr area, which is almost heaven and earth compared to Paris.
"I naturally have my reason!" Sheffield leaned on the back and closed his eyes to refresh himself. Few cities have been able to compare with Paris this year. He is saying that Paris is a key planned city. In this era, there are few cities and cities. Even the cities in the United States of America have not undergone major planning and layout.
The environment of the industrial zone is different from that of the garden city. Take a deep breath. The nose is full of the choking smell of imperialism. This is the normal state of the city in this era. The industrial zone around Wudalian Lake in the United States, and Ruhr The environment of the district is also half a catty.
Sheffield must come here, although in terms of scale, many people think that the United States has long been worthwhile in Britain, and it is deeply believed in the German and French, especially the northern Yangji fart people in the United States. But he doesn't think so.
The current situation in the United States is actually very similar to the situation in the first decade of the Republic in the 21st century. To say that on the scale, it is naturally faint that it has some meaning in the world. It is like the first steel production in the first republic, the second Hebei and the third Tangshan.
It can be said that in terms of technological content, the gap between the United States and European countries can still be seen. The large scale can only indicate that the internal needs are large. The population of 70 or 80 million in the United States needs housing. Such a large country requires railway communication, and the scale cannot be increased. How did you get it?
To really say that the local industry is strong, the United States does not necessarily take advantage of the European countries, especially in the German Empire, the strongest industrial country in Europe. Who said that the United States of America is stronger than the German Empire, Sheffield thinks he is crazy.
The gold content of companies such as KGB, Siemens, and Bayer is much higher than that of those railway kings and oil kings in the United States. Technically, companies like DuPont are already highly sought after high-end companies in the United States in this era.
"You are the wheat king of the United States?" In the Bayer company, the company's founder Friedrich Bayer looked at the visiting children with interest, and did not understand the purpose of the other party.
"Huh?" Sheffield looked at John Conner with a tentative look. The latter replied in a low voice. "It seems that some small newspapers have called the house like this. But some newspapers are called King Beef."
Oh! Sheffield nodded clearly. "That's some exaggerated claims. Our family is a farmer who used to grow cotton."
"That's right, the original Southern Cotton King of the United States had a very good relationship with London." Friedrich Bayer nodded, affirming Sheffield's statement, and apparently had detailed control of the roadside agency's news.
I remember it seemed that some people said that Germans are rigorous? Sheffield's eyelids did not want to be entangled in the issue of the king and the king, and humbly said, "The farming is based on heaven. There is nothing that the king said. When he came to Germany, he also came to Germany to discuss cooperation with respect for German technology. "
"It's weird. Isn't the US industrial scale very large, why did you come to Germany?" Friedrich Bayer thought for a moment, and didn't understand Sheffield's approach.
"I'm not an arrogant person. I'm very clear about the gap between the United States and Europe." Of course Sheffield can't tell the truth. My home is the leader of the Dixie, and there is a limit to cooperating with the Yankees. Otherwise, did the prestige of the southern states disappear?
