"Okay, be careful. There might be gangsters with guns who will take the opportunity to do something. Los Angeles is the headquarters of United Bank. I believe it shouldn't be a problem to deal with some mobs." After giving the instructions, Sheffield put down the phone and thought a lot.

Anyway, the current situation in San Francisco, according to our national conditions in the United States, is either in riots or on the road to riots. It is very normal to set fires in the city. Due to insurance reasons, there have been many fires in the city, some of which were caused by natural gas caused by earthquakes.

Some pipe ruptures are caused by arson or bonfires in temporary tents. Because insurance companies only compensate for fire losses and not earthquake losses, some homeowners set fire to their houses that have been damaged by the earthquake in order to obtain compensation.

compensation.

Later generations believed that this kind of arson caused greater casualties and losses than the earthquake. Sheffield immediately returned to Arlington. Before returning, he had asked Anne to contact the managers of various industries.

"How's it going over there in California?" Annie asked anxiously when she saw Sheffield coming back.

"We can only contact you by phone and radio, but you can guess. Of course, we are covering the lid. I think things are definitely out of control. Our industries will immediately prepare disaster relief materials and take out all the backlog of products. What kind of moldy food?

Expired cans, the army eats them, and they are almost out of food. It would be good to have them. Contact Albert immediately." Sheffield finished speaking with his mouth like a machine gun, then turned around and said, "Come Aunt Padra, I

We need to organize a disaster relief team and get on the road to California before the federal government reacts."

It is not uncommon for such catastrophes to be covered up. The United States has not yet transformed into an old beacon that has experienced hundreds of battles, but it is already very proficient in this technology that bureaucrats all over the world are proficient in. San Francisco is the third largest city on the West Coast.

In a big city with a population higher than that of Los Angeles, how could anyone believe that such a huge earthquake killed hundreds of people in later generations?

It is well known that everyone from the local state government to the federal government is covering up the San Francisco earthquake. When it comes to matters that the country pays special attention to, there are no conscientious journalists in the United States. No ordinary person dares to cover up.

The federal government really insists on freedom of speech. It is not a big deal to work as a excrement collector, but this kind of thing is different.

However, this is not in Sheffield's interests. He is now firmly opposed to covering the lid, which will affect the United Company's acquisition of the San Francisco Shipyard.

"The current situation is like this. The San Francisco Examiner will tell you the detailed story later. As the conscience of the United States and a newspaper that is not afraid of power, Albert's reputation is not in vain." Sheffield said coldly.

He told the microphone with a straight face, "The local state government will definitely downplay this matter. You must unite with newspapers that support the Republican Party to attack this matter, provoke partisan conflicts, and block funding for California. Even if you cannot do it, you will still create it."

Regarding public opinion, I don’t care if it’s a regional conflict or a partisan conflict. Regional conflicts make Northeastern citizens oppose appropriation, while partisan conflicts let Republicans speak. We are a country with freedom of speech.”

The slave owner is also an old keyboard warrior. He has participated in the war on regional conflicts, ethnic conflicts, and even the question of who has more history in Xi'an and Luoyang. He knows that people are inherently selfish and adding insult to injury does not distinguish between any ethnic group or country. There will definitely be a market.

.

This is what the so-called citizens of the American century are like. No amount of education can compete with nature. Brainwashing is useful in normal times, but when life is really threatened, the effect is better than nothing.

In a country like the United States, the reason for covering up the situation is actually very simple. The local governments affected by the disaster do not dare to reveal the true disaster situation if they want the federal government to provide help. As a beacon of capitalism like the United States, the issue of appropriation must be

Considering the gains and losses, from this point of view, let alone the Republic, it is not even as good as the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty knew that it was suffering from disaster, so it would really provide disaster relief. The United States should consider whether disaster relief is worthwhile or not.

Not worth it.

The San Francisco city government will choose to cover up the earthquake in San Francisco. In addition to fearing that the federal government will not allocate funds for disaster relief, government officials are also worried that if the true death toll is announced, land prices may fall.

"The states that the Pacific Railroad and Northwestern Railroad passed through have been contacted, and local trust members will fill the trains with grain and beef to make the two railroads busy and prevent the railroads from being used by the government. Now the Northern Securities Company has just been dismantled

, Hartman and Hill must have had great reasons to help." Anne moved lightly, pitiful for this beautiful pregnant woman, who now has to do the work of two people with a surplus of labor.

"I must get all the fame and wealth before the federal government does." Sheffield was a little tired after Xia Bo's operation.

"Bring your guns to me. When you enter San Francisco, if you see robbers, especially black people, shoot them without asking for any reason. No one cares about them now." Jesla pinched her waist and shouted at the person who was summoned.

The armed men at Clinton Manor loudly said, "Restore order in the shortest time. This is also helping the San Francisco government. If anything happens, the United Company will not ignore it."

"Yes, kill those niggas!" Thousands of Black Gold Company employees responded loudly. Everyone had put on the uniform representing Black Gold Company, and the black and gold armbands were particularly conspicuous.

"Jessla!" Sheffield took a car from the villa. After getting off the car, he nodded towards the team of Black Gold Company and said, "Don't say that after leaving Arlington Manor. It's just because black people have no rules.

There has been a friendly fire. Normal citizens will not riot, and some things can be understood in private. You take them first, Aunt Padra is still summoning the Alamo Guards, I will be there soon. Don't delay! There are people in Los Angeles

There must be a chain supermarket not far away where the United Firearms Factory sells guns. Go there to pick up weapons."

"Friends of Black Gold, come with me to the train station now." Jesra nodded and greeted the team in front of him that was no less than a regular army. When Texas reaches California, it has to pass through the inaccessible New Mexico region. This railway will not be used.

Occupied, and the relationship between the railroad owners and the Union Company was very good.

Regardless of whether it's a natural disaster or a riot, the United Company's purpose is, if anyone hits me, I'll hit a black person.

For the federal government, which has been going smoothly for several months, the news of the California earthquake caught both the federal government and the White House off guard. Before the White House could make any statement, Albert, the editor-in-chief of the Chicago Daily Times, had already written in the newspaper

Let San Francisco's lid-covering behavior end early.

The Chicago Daily Times used a lot of space and forecast figures to believe that the city of San Francisco has been destroyed, and that San Francisco's geographical location is too dangerous for human habitation, and there is no need to save an abandoned city. This conclusion has aroused

Pro-Republican newspapers were in favor. Under the power of the U.S. dollar, some newspapers believed that California was one of the bases of the Democratic Party and that the locals were very xenophobic.

"Maybe this is God's will!" A newspaper with a strong religious atmosphere proved with practical actions that although God is very important, they will definitely pray for God's forgiveness after receiving US dollars.

The sudden map cannon quickly dropped a bombshell on the already calm public opinion world. Before the catastrophe, there was no unity and calmness. It just didn't happen to me. Some

The government can suppress disunity and unite citizens, but some governments cannot.

The slave owners who were well prepared, got ahead of the federal government and benefited directly. The Chicago Daily Times provoked regional and partisan conflicts. Before the people from the Black Gold Company arrived, the people in the disaster area were the first to experience the greetings and warmth from the Yankees in the east.

.

At the same time, the city of San Francisco was in flames and gunshots were heard. San Francisco Mayor Eugene Smith just wanted to issue an order allowing the police to open fire. He was directly stopped by the secretary who had already communicated with the United Company. "The United Company has gathered people and transported people," he said.

Materials are being sent to San Francisco to assist. Now that the city is in such danger, the fire department says that the fire is no longer under control. Now we should focus on protecting areas where the damage is not serious. This is the only way to do it."

"Okay, I'll contact the nearby garrison." Eugene Smith thought for a moment and said. After all, martial law is a very difficult order to issue. Now we can only put limited police forces into urban areas that are not seriously damaged. As for other areas that have lost control,

We can only wait for outside help.

"Tell our Mr. Mayor that United Company, as a company that has always been optimistic about San Francisco, will definitely do its best to rescue this time. I will also join forces with other southern companies to launch a fundraiser for California." Sheffield promised with a cold smile.

, "I believe that our citizens also sympathize with California. What a great West Coast shipbuilding center, it will never sink because of this."

At the press conference of Turning the Head United Company, a spokesperson announced to a reporter from the New Orleans Morning News that it would join forces with other companies to raise funds for California.

At the same time, Sheffield kept calling, "You can't find a more suitable opportunity than now to enter California openly. The local residents will not resent our southern enterprises at all. Although we are not good things, we can

The Yangki people are even more bastards now, they will always be sucked by blood, why not let us suck blood, right?"

Compared with the debates in cities in Northeastern states, southern newspapers, led by the New Orleans Morning News, focused on reporting on the strength and optimism of California citizens. After private contacts with slave owners, many companies expressed their willingness to lend a helping hand to the disaster area.
