My America

"Can you help Germany?" Fritz Thyssen was not sure. If it was not a partnership between the two joint companies, he really wanted to ask why? With the powerful 90,000 US Army?

Sheffield clearly accepted Fritz Thyssen's contempt, but it was not worth being angry. There are two countries where arrogance is hidden in the heart, and one of them is Germany. Germans are anti-China, Germans are anti-American, and Germans are anti-Russian. In various investigations, Germans have a much higher negative impression than any positive impression on any country, even on the Germans themselves.

As for another country that everyone despises at heart, it is the Russians, the enemy of the Germans. If you see a conflict in the Russians, do n’t be fussed. They look down on anyone. It has nothing to do with your nationality. You are just one of them. .

Unlike the happy educated citizens who have almost no common sense, like the descendants of the United States, the basic common sense of these two countries is sufficient, that is, they know where your country is worth learning, but should look down or look down on.

"It ’s not about helping, it ’s about helping each other, just like you might not look down on the military power of the United States. Germany is very strong in this respect, but the German ’s weakness is at the crossroads in Europe. Now the relationship between France and Russia is advancing rapidly. Russia The relationship between the empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not very harmonious. ”Sheffield also said in a relaxed manner,“ Austro-Hungarian Empire is a multi-ethnic country, the Austrians and the Hungarians together, less than half of the country ’s population, internal conflicts Not under the imperial Russia, the conflict may indeed require German help. "

"What about that? If anyone is dissatisfied, let the war result speak." Gustav said quietly. "A strong outsider and a middleman, a defeated one, can you win together?"

"I'm confident, but if there is a war time similar to the seven-year war, can a country in Germany stand up?" Sheffield clapped and exclaimed. "I'm also going to copy the English League. Escape, although I rarely go to Europe, I feel that Nicholas II is not that kind of spiritual German. "

In the most difficult period of the Seven Years' War, the Russian empress Elizabeth I, who hated Frederick, died, and the succeeding Peter III was an admirer of Frederick. When Frederick received the news, he immediately ordered all Russian prisoners to be clothed, shoes, and food, and released them. Peter announced the end of the war with Prussia. The Germans retrieved a dog's life, otherwise the predecessor of Germany existed three hundred years ago. That round of getting the Germans to show their strength now?

When I saw Gustav, I still wanted to speak, but Sheffield closed when I was good. "I said that it is to help each other. Naturally, it won't let you Germans lose money. My agricultural products have entered Germany. People are naturally exchanged. "

"Those rural Junkers in East Prussia are not easy to handle!" Gustav did not bother and shook his head. "If this problem is solved well, the relationship with the imperial Russia will not become bad. The productivity of domestic agriculture now It has been improved in the previous big agricultural mechanization, and they will oppose it on this ground. "

"So I hope that the two of you will work harder. With Germany ’s geographic location, if you want to fight, you must have enough confidence, and you have to be prepared for the end of the year ’s war. Preparedness is the real victory. The grain reserve system, so that there are no worries. "Sheffield said that this is not humble." There are not many countries in the world that can help the Germans from agriculture, and I am the most suitable candidate. "

Of course, Sheffield won't let the other person try hard. When the two considered, they officially raised the issue of tariffs in exchange. He said he would find a way for the federal government to adopt a low tariff policy.

In fact, it ’s time for low-tariff policies now. Sooner or later Europe will fight. Sheffield thinks whether low-tariffs are no longer a big problem. It is true that this will make it even more difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises that are already in trouble, but the joint company Such enterprises will not suffer from this kind of trouble.

On the contrary, if the German side can reduce agricultural tariffs, the South and Midwest of the United States will benefit. As for the Yankees of the Great Lakes, their life and death have nothing to do with the slave owners, and the slave owners have red necks.

There is no way to choose Germany. France and Russia are all European agricultural powers. Another British empire that is not very powerful in agriculture is now empirical preferential system. Although it is clear that there is no official appearance when Chamberlain was prime minister, some Regulations have already emerged, and the United States cannot squeeze in until the war really breaks out.

At present, Germany is the most suitable export destination for farmers in the United States, but as Gustav said, this is not an easy task. The village of Junker in East Prussia is very difficult and does not have enough benefits. The capitalists in Seoul are not willing to get entangled with these Junckers.

This is where the benefits and hates of vested interests are on the one hand. On the one hand, they want to protect their country from external shocks. On the other hand, in the case of raising tariffs, they are completely unable to support the wall. This matter is not just for Germany, it is the case of many companies in the Republic a hundred years later. The domestic production under the protection of the state, one chip can kill them.

Both the protection of the domestic light and the fact that we are international companies let it say that it is truly invincible forever.

Sheffield wanted to reduce tariffs because he felt that large companies in the United States were already worthwhile in the face of German companies. The lack of competition among SMEs is not a matter of joint companies. Since the United States is a free country, of course, it can also freely reduce tariffs. If they die and leave the market, the joint company will grow stronger.

When the European continent fought, these foreign companies shrank, and the joint company would benefit from it. Sheffield did n’t feel that the joint company would suffer. From the beginning to the end, the United States might suffer. The slave owner was not the president. It was his turn to take charge.

Fritz and Gustav have already moved on Sheffield ’s tariffs, but when they think of the domestic situation, they can only say that they do their best. Since their families know their own affairs, the Prussian nobles within the German Empire are due to the decline of the estate ’s economy. It is increasingly dependent on the income of the bureaucrats and military officers, and the demand for controlling the civilian army has become more urgent. The development of industry has made the bourgeoisie as a political force. The decline of the liberal economy and the German bourgeoisie against the country The reliance on trade protection began to decline traditional liberalism.

A large number of Prussian nobles need positions, especially military positions. Germany is the most efficient war tool in Europe to support its imperial army. This time it is necessary to sacrifice the Prussian aristocracy, which is good for the entire German Empire, but it is good for Prussia. As far as nobles are concerned, this is not the case at all.

"The two, I implemented a large-scale agricultural plan and raised the living standards of the Junker class. Is it true that Junker in your country can only benefit, and will you not suffer at all? To be honest, those Junker nobles do not colonize What a pity. What's even more pitiful is that the land under the sun belongs to the British Empire. "Sheffield seized the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule the Germans. There are not many opportunities to ridicule the Germans. You must not let go of the opportunity.

"It takes time, and based on our understanding of the United States, Mr. William must reduce the tariffs and the Democratic Party must come to power. If the Democratic Party comes to power, we will definitely do our best to cooperate." Fritz still does not want to give up this time to enter the US market. Opportunity, under the issue of tariffs, prepare to return to China and talk with Juncker.

"Similarly, we also need time, and we need to let the companions of the Ruhr area widely agree to jointly deal with this problem." Gustav Krupp said, "In short, we now have time for both parties to plan this matter, don't we? Mr. William needs the Democratic Party to come to power to implement the policy, and we also need to let the empire government know the benefits of this matter. It all takes time. The Empire ’s grain reserve plan is actually decisive for our emperor. The one who commented. "

William II? Sheffield is actually looking forward to a good result. Emperors like William II, whose advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, are actually not too much.

In a country like the imperial government, the emperor's tendency is very important, not like the United States, which obviously has many things that seem to be passed at once, but also has to study and study.

That matter was settled in the communication between the three people. Sheffield will aim at low tariffs and make the Democratic Party come to power as much as possible. Fritz and Gustav represent Ruhr Industry. The opinion of the district made William II take more care of the interests of the Ruhr area, and let village Junker make a small sacrifice and agree to the grain reserve system.

In fact, they both agreed, and both sides realized that many of the embarrassments that were just considered were not insurmountable. For example, the Imperial Reserve Grain System, whoever said it must be imported from the United States, and Village Junker also made efforts to this end.

The Germans are very sincere in being able to come to the United States, but most people expressed their rejection of Sheffield ’s move to be a little bit of landlord ’s friendship. They did not come to travel, they just came to talk about business and talk about business. Just talk about business. In particular, Fritz and Gustav, after a short communication, booked a return ticket, indicating that both parties can be contacted by telegram, and the communication of the vested interests is so smooth.

"The key is to win this year, and I should also win once." Sheffield sent two people to the boat, hands in their pockets, facing the sea, and the spring blossomed. The Democratic Party really should win once.
