When it comes to building connections, it's either never happened or there have been countless times. Now that Sanford Dole accepted Sheffield's solicitation for pineapple sales and helped United build the sugar trust, he had become

Become part of the United Company's network.

At this time, Sheffield was making other requests, and Sanford Dole, who was already in the circle, had no choice but to comply. Because he had already helped the United Company once and was no longer the public figure expected by Hawaiian citizens.

At this time, Hawaii was in a window period. The issue of Hawaii's status was still very vague. The federal government had not come up with a definite opinion. Should it become a state or an overseas territory? This vague state has many problems.

It was highly maneuverable, so Sheffield was not polite at all and directly asked for the land rights near Pearl Harbor.

Although Pearl Harbor has been built for nearly 20 years, it is already too late for Sheffield to start at this point, but it is not irreparable. Even if he does not know much about the navy, Sheffield knows a basic issue. The main strength of the US Navy is

Concentrated on the east coast, facing the European naval powers on the other side of the Atlantic, the Pacific coast is in a secondary position.

Therefore, even if he had never seen the size of Pearl Harbor in later generations, Sheffield could tell that if he wanted to support the future Pacific Fleet, Pearl Harbor must be expanded.

Sanford Dole was a judge of the Supreme Court of Hawaii for ten years. He deposed the Queen of Hawaii five years ago and became the president of the interim government. The following year the Republic of Hawaii was established and he became the president. It can be said that if there is no accident, the position of this would-be governor will also fall.

In his body, so Sanford Dole has the ability to help Sheffield accomplish anything in Hawaii.

It now appears that compared with other military ports, Pearl Harbor lacks many necessary naval facilities, such as ship repair yards, dry docks, fuel supply stations, docks and necessary naval facilities.

These facilities require land for urban construction, and they cannot be built in the sea. As for whether this will affect the expansion of Pearl Harbor, that is irrelevant to Sheffield. The federal government can completely spend money to purchase it.

With the assistance of Sanford Dole, Sheffield successfully obtained the authorization for the land near Pearl Harbor. It must be noted that the first thought that flashed through his mind at this time was to develop a prostitution industry...

Considering that American soldiers can't control their crotch wherever they go, this will be an industry that can be easily monetized. But then Sheffield gave up the idea. With his current status and industry, if he did this

It's not that the price has dropped a bit, it's simply an embarrassment to the United Company.

If Lafayette had known in Arlington that the heir had gone out for a walk and the report card turned out to be the development of prostitution, and if there was a second male heir, he would have considered deposing the crown prince.

After some effortless weighing, Sheffield also felt that this industry was a bit too low-end and not actually profitable. Of course, considering the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar in this era, the prostitution industry is still very attractive to many households worth tens of thousands of dollars. Yes.

My reputation is still a bit negative in the industry.

"Is the casino industry in Hawaii legal?" For a place with such a small land and population, even though he is the heir to the United Company, Sheffield couldn't think of any clever ways to pay attention to it, and all the questions he asked were rushed to the next level.

Sanford Dole shook his head. At this time, he felt like he was on a pirate ship. His evaluation of the boss of the United Company was continuing to decline, but it was already too late. Although Sheffield's true nature was exposed very quickly, he surrendered.

Even faster than that, the two were already tied together through the acquisition of farms and the purchase of land at Pearl Harbor.

"That's such a pity!" Sheffield shook his head helplessly. He didn't dare to say that he knew the Japanese, but he still knew the Chinese. The Chinese are definitely good at gambling. This is definitely not a slander against the Chinese community, at least in the United States.

The Chinese gathering area, the small casino and the pawn shop are both standard features.

Sanford Dole also gave his own opinion, "The largest group on Hawaii Island is Japanese. The Japanese population is not very good at gambling. They seem to follow the rules, but they are actually more docile than the Chinese."

"Based on my experience in running private prisons, there are many prisoners who are like this at ordinary times, and once they break out, they will cause a lot of crime." Sheffield nodded. He agreed with Sanford Dole's evaluation of the Japanese community. In fact,

From the observation of the West Coast community, the Japanese community is indeed cleaner than the Chinese community, but in his eyes, this is just pretending to be presentable.

"It is this group that seems to be more disciplined and less dangerous than the Chinese. When the Republic of Hawaii was established five years ago, warships were dispatched. As the president of the Republic, Sanford Dole should not have forgotten it, right? I hope

You didn’t really forget it, you didn’t just remember it after I reminded you.” Sheffield reminded her, “At that time, the Japanese community fiercely opposed the establishment of the Republic of Hawaii. Now that there are so many Japanese people in Hawaii,

What should we do? Only one out of twenty people is a citizen of the United States, and almost every two people have a Japanese. Now that Hawaii has been officially incorporated into the United States, although it has not yet been determined whether it is officially a state or an overseas territory, there are some things.

As public figures who are well-respected, you shouldn’t need to remind me. If you take the initiative, the federal government should be grateful to you.”

After getting the assistance of Sanford Dole, Sheffield also got the land and farm he wanted. Although the local people were still coming from the sea, it was not a foregone conclusion. But it did not delay him to give Sanford

· Some feedback from Dole: Although Sheffield is not a politician, he knows a little about politics because of his close relationship with the Democratic Party.

The United States is not yet the world's hegemon. Even if it goes to war, it has to make a coy gesture and act as if it is a last resort. Rather than issuing decrees directly, it is more willing to let Hawaii take the initiative to propose some bills to solve hidden dangers.

"What does Mr. William mean? I took the initiative to ban Japanese immigration?" Sanford Dole understood what Sheffield meant. "This will help the federal government a big favor?"

"Although you have proposed it, the federal government may not necessarily pass it immediately, but you have proposed it as an excuse. The federal government will agree to this clause at an appropriate time in the future." Sheffield knows that everything in the United States is not that simple. The Chinese Exclusion Act

It had been brewing for many years in California, but it took more than ten years before it was officially adopted.

This is the model of the government of the United States, and Sheffield is not satisfied with it, but it is this model that allows him to have a safe space for development. If it were a country with the Soviet system, with such a large property, even if his house was not confiscated today, his house would be confiscated.

The risk will always exist, it just depends on when people feel it is appropriate to kill.

Considering that the United States Navy is still in the war with Spain, it is estimated that it will not take strong measures against Japan immediately. Therefore, Sheffield suggested that Sanford Dole only propose a framework to raise the threshold for Hawaiian immigrants. This alone has already

Enough.

Sanford Dole only needs to make a suggestion to the federal government, which is enough to secure its position as the governor of Hawaii. On the other side, Sheffield United Company is consciously using the sugar trust in the process.

The Chinese in Hawaii are trying to check and balance the largest group in Hawaii through both overt and covert means. However, it is a private company after all, and Sheffield has no right to go too far.

A few days later, fresh opinions on raising the threshold for immigration were released. And this matter was quickly leaked and spread to the ears of the Japanese community.

After all, as an archipelago that is not completely controlled by the federal government, it is still too difficult to hide everything from the largest local population. In a Japanese-style building, a middle-aged man was sitting with a solemn expression.

Looking at the guests on both sides, he took a deep breath and said, "I understand what you mean very well, but for now, because the US military in the Hawaiian Islands is too powerful, we can only accept the facts. This matter still needs to be

The Imperial Government negotiates with the Americans.”

"Sato-kun, these white people are bullying us too much. Americans and Europeans just look down on us." A man with a mustache under his nose gritted his teeth and said, "They ignored our protests and used military force to seize the land.

We are here, and the imperial government is powerless."

"We have to give the imperial government time to develop. Now we can only be patient." Sato Sukeo took a long breath, and his heart was full of depression. "I personally want to talk to the boss of this big company recently. I believe him."

I will give you such a chance."

"Okay, hey!" This sigh that came out almost simultaneously reflected the resentment and helplessness of this group of people.

"Let's talk?" He looked away from the Chinese workers working near Pearl Harbor. Sheffield took off the straw hat on his head, slapped him twice, and said with a smile, "We can talk, we have the initiative.

There is nothing we can't talk about in our hands. I just like to watch others bear the humiliation. The Japanese feel that they relied on immigrants to get the territory of Hawaii without bloodshed, and were directly hit by the federal government's decision to annex Hawaii, and they will definitely be very angry.

, but so what?"

"Aren't you too timid to confront us, the United States? Now Hawaii is part of the United States. Come and rob it if you have the guts!" Sheffield put his hand in his pocket and pointed in the direction of Pearl Harbor and said, "How wonderful.

A military port.”

"Sukeo Sato is a leader of Japanese businessmen. He also runs a farm and is a representative of Japanese immigrants." Evelin opened her red lips lightly and introduced the general profile of this Japanese business leader, "Don't make trouble, someone is there.
