Chapter 420: I want you to withdraw

"Since I'm talking about business with the federal government, I can't be eager." Sheffield held the microphone and recalled the price of the land he bought in Hawaii. How much was it? I can't remember it, which means that the cost is not very large, and it must not reach the level of one million dollars, otherwise he will remember it.
If the price is increased tenfold, if the federal government can show sincerity, the slave owner is not unacceptable. Everyone knows that he is a famous patriotic benchmark, and he can even sell the Panama Canal for national benefit and swallow all the losses.
"Our Land Administration and the Admiralty are not in a hurry. I heard that the Supreme Court ’s trial was two months later, so I went to Washington a month later to talk to the federal government and watch the Northern Securities Company. I believe that Morgan should be very willing to attend me. In a sense, it is equivalent to the platform of the Northern Securities Company. "Sheffield finger disturbed the telephone line and said his own thoughts," What does Madam think? "
"I listen to you, and you know that I am the most obedient." Anne touched her still flat belly, and said zizizi, "When I'm settled, maybe there will be good news for you."
"Hey !? Hey ..." Sheffield stared at the microphone stunned, complaining, "What good news has to be confirmed, can't it be said directly?"
"A good thing?" Evelyn brought a plate of watermelon and placed it in front of the slave owner. I heard that neither the Dixie nor the black people in the south liked eating watermelon, but the man in front of him was an exception.
"Annie said that if the federal government wants to talk to me about Hawaii's land acquisition, it should be a good thing." Sheffield spit spit watermelon seeds. The taste of watermelons in this era can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
After being cut, it is similar to the inside of the pomegranate. If you want to become a posterity, it seems that it needs a long time to cultivate. No wonder the black brothers are reluctant to eat, but Sheffield can accept it, but it is not inedible.
As a person who even eats grass, the merits of hard work and hard work are most vividly reflected in him.
"From this point of view, you can set conditions with the federal government and let the Justice Department withdraw the case." Evelyn clapped her hands, not expecting an unintentional move a few years ago, which became the key to unraveling today. When she went to the Philippines, Evelyn was there with her, knowing about building sugar trusts and buying land.
There is nothing unintentional, just that the slave owner buried his nails in advance, waiting for the federal government at this node.
"Withdrawing the complaint is just a necessary condition. If you fight, I will delay time in every link. It is difficult for him to win. Moreover, I feel that my era is just beginning." Finally, the watermelon brought up was wiped out, slaves The Lord has the feeling of keeping the clouds and seeing the moon.
It is a pity that last year's election did not overturn the Republican Party's advantages. But now, he feels that the favorable conditions have become more. Last year, what was the difference is the economic prosperity period. In addition, the situation of the Japanese-Russian war is unclear, and the Russian army has not lost the underpants. This puts whites first. Public opinion always feels bad.
But the loss is definitely not shameful, and when the next election, Sheffield concluded that there will definitely be an economic crisis in the past few years, and that he will definitely not let Morgan cover the cover after a round of harvest. It will definitely make the economic crisis deeper and serve as the driving force for the Democratic Party elections.
As long as he can defeat the Republican Party head-on once, there will be a second and third time. A breakthrough from zero to one is the most difficult. Once a breakthrough is made, it will not be a big problem in the future.
It has been more than two months since the Northern Securities Company appealed to the Supreme Court. During this time, both sides are building public opinion, reflecting their determination to win and the indestructible side.
Sheffield did not appreciate this. He never let the newspaper report that he was facing a lawsuit by the Justice Department. This kind of thing is best solved secretly, otherwise it is really defeated and a little embarrassing. No one knows that losing is not shameful.
In Los Angeles, the shipyard and the Union Bank were sorted out. After having a rough plan, Sheffield went to Washington to meet with Edith Rockefeller halfway. In order to use pressure to suppress people, slave owners dare not have A trace of slack, absolutely unambiguous when it comes time to carry the weight.
Whenever you encounter major events, you must always show my special relationship with the Rockefeller family. Don't act rashly.
At present, the dominant naval strategy of the United States is President Roosevelt. Roosevelt is also a man with a strong desire to control. When he was a deputy navy, he replaced the minister to make decisions. Now he is the president, and the navy minister has become a transparent person.
So it ’s useless to find the Secretary of the Navy, because this meaning was conveyed by Roosevelt. It ’s more useful to directly find the right one. Sheffield understands this and goes directly to the White House. Come to the White House.
Almost everyone believes that this time Sheffield came to the White House because of a trust lawsuit, begging President Roosevelt to let him go, at least in the eyes of others.
No one would think that Sheffield came to the White House as if he were nothing. He knew that it was almost impossible to live here in his life. Naturally, he had to seize few opportunities to leave his own mark. People noticed that he also urine in the corner.
At the strong request of Sheffield, Attorney General Knox still came, which became the situation where President Roosevelt directly represented the Navy Department and Knox represented the Department of Justice.
"I heard that the land near the port of Hawaii is in your name?" President Roosevelt asked immediately.
"This is it, Mr. President." Sheffield was still representing himself when he last came, but this time was different. The opposite was still his father-in-law, so his attitude was much more serious, but there was no way to take advantage. These are two different things.
"The Japanese joint fleet has grown into a threatening force." Roosevelt organizer language, thinking about how to speak softer.
"The Japanese combined fleet has an overwhelming advantage in the face of the naval power of the West Coast." Sheffield said nonchalantly. "If you want to suppress the Japanese combined fleet, you must do two things. The first is the Panama Canal. It must be opened as soon as possible to end the lack of communication between the East and West Coast Fleet of the United States. Another point is that Hawaii ’s position will become extremely important. Expansion of the military port is already imperative, is n’t it? "
"During the Spanish-American War, I went to the Philippines to expand my overseas business. Passing through Hawaii, I saw that the Japanese group accounted for half of the island's population. Once the Japanese joint fleet attacked Hawaii, where would these Japanese diaspora stand? "
Sheffield spoke out Roosevelt's worries very methodically, and even President Roosevelt himself believed that the boss of this joint company knew the current situation almost better than himself.
There ’s no need to talk nonsense. President Roosevelt said directly,
I must admit that you are amazingly forward-looking in terms of doing business. Now the suitable port and the surrounding land are in your hands. How? Being able to cooperate with the expansion of the Federal Navy depends on our communication. Now, our communication is very smooth. "
"It's not particularly smooth, is it? Mr. Knox!" Sheffield smiled and turned to the current Federal Attorney General Knox, embarrassed, "I have really added to the Justice Department recently. Trouble, some of my partners have to prove the justice of the Ministry of Justice to me. You ca n’t control me. Who makes us a free country, and every member has the right to express their views, right? "
"Trust's case is still in the trial stage." Knox saw Sheffield look fearless and said, "This matter will definitely be investigated."
"What's the use of the investigation? But another trust came out. You dismantled the sugar trust, but it was destroyed by me." Sheffield said teasingly, "The Knight company case has proved the teardown. The solution does not solve all the problems. The sugar trust is now in my hand. It is clear that you can check him more than the farmer ’s cattle and canned food, but why do n’t you check it? Because the sugar trust It is related to the pillar industries of Hawaii and Cuba. You can check it and dismantle the sugar trust. If there is an unstable situation in the two places, can the Ministry of Justice be responsible? "
Knight is the official name of the last sugar trust, headquartered in Philadelphia, through continuous mergers to control 98% of the country's sugar industry. Ten years ago, in 1895, Knight was sued by the Ministry of Justice. The Supreme Court ruled that Knight was suspected of being illegal and dismantled the sugar trust.
If it weren't for the sugar trust that had been dismantled before, how could Sheffield be so easy, that a trust was built on the way to the Philippines by boat? It is entirely because the previous competitor was killed by the federal government.
As Sheffield said, the Ministry of Justice just gave Knight a blow. It was themselves who really killed them. Without the Department of Justice's blow, it was not so easy for him to defeat Knight.
"The Justice Department should all express its gratitude to the United Company." This sentence completely angered Knox, because he could understand that this was Sheffield's gratitude to the Justice Department for killing the United Company's competitors and deliberately teased himself.
"Don't you big companies really ignore the country," Knox asked angrily.
"The country must also be reasonable!" Sheffield looked at the Attorney General plainly. "Unreasonable prosecution should not appear. I personally think that the Justice Department should withdraw the complaint and give up the allegations of beef and canned trust."
