After a friendly hug, the two of them walked together as if they had been old friends for many years. Behind Sheffield, there was a team of bodyguards disembarking one after another, arm in arm, chatting and laughing. Sheffield followed Rodriguez, and Tagore

The family's estate, as a local leader in Coahuila, Rodriguez's home naturally has a unique atmosphere.

The two also watched a Latin dance, which surprised Sheffield. Latin dance didn't seem to have been around for a long time, right? Is it already so popular?

"I am very happy that William came to Coahuila as a guest, but having said that, I heard something recently." Rodriguez said with a smile, "I don't know if it is true."

"With our cross-border friendship, of course I won't hide it as long as I know about it." Sheffield was not nervous at all and responded with the same smile.

"I heard that the Texas government has enacted a bill to build a wall along the border and make Mexico pay for it?" Rodriguez spread his hands and said, "Let me make it clear.

, is this kind of bill too stupid?”

Not only Texas, but also the upcoming states of Arizona and New Mexico will pass the bill in the future. But what Rodriguez said is true, it does seem a bit stupid for Mexico to pay for it.

"Oh, it's like this. Some Mexicans crossed the border, causing protests from Texans. You also know that the gun ownership rate on our side is a little higher, and there are always bloodsheds on the border that are easily noticed by the federal government."

Sheffield said lightly, "As for asking the Mexicans to pay, don't you know that some of what those politicians say can become reality, but they are just for those idiots who like to hear it. Besides, I'm sorry to you.

There are benefits too!”

The slave owners mocked Texas unscrupulously, as if they had changed their nationality after crossing the border, speaking completely from the perspective of Mexico.

"Is it also good for me?" Rodriguez asked after hearing this, "What's the truth in this?"

"Economic development is inseparable from the labor force. A lot of people coming to our country is also detrimental to a big family like yours. Because the population you control will be less, and no one will work for you, you will fall behind. If your competitors

If there are many people but you have few, you will increase working hours, and your workers may resist. Stability comes first!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said, "The more people you control, Porfirio

President Díaz will also value you more, right?"

Holding the wine glass, Rodriguez thought for a moment and nodded involuntarily. What Sheffield said did make sense. He drank the red wine in the glass and said, "The Tagore family cannot do without the friendship of the United Company. We

We have always helped each other, but to be honest, asking those so-called politicians to help us when we have everything is completely unnecessary."

"No, my friend, you are wrong about this. We need those well-dressed politicians, watching them go back and forth to study trivial matters. We have a symbiotic relationship with them, and they can help us do a lot of things." Sheffield.

He chuckled and felt that Rodriguez still had some tricks up his sleeve, "Small intellectuals are wary of the government, and big intellectuals are wary of the people. When they reach a certain position, they will only serve us. Therefore, democracy is the best system. This is indisputable."

In fact, Sheffield is very disgusted with the current dictator in Mexico. Fortunately, he has a fair-minded president. If there is really an electoral system like the United States, we should pay attention to this neighbor.

Although he is destined to live in the United States in this life, Sheffield clearly sees the weaknesses of this election. Democratic elections are a system that no one dares to offend! Take religion as an example, democracy will never dare to touch religion, even if it is recognized

Cult! The trial of Japan’s Aum Shinrikyo is dragging on and has not yet completely ended. In the future, drug consumption in the United States accounts for 60% of the world, and there are hundreds of millions of private guns. The handling of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear accident has also given people an insight into what is going on.

Ask everyone to take some responsibility, and in the end no one will be responsible.

Dare not touch religion, dare not touch arms dealers, dare not touch drugs, dare not touch anything involving votes. Theoretically, the Qing Dynasty in this era cannot be reformed, but if compared with the development of democratic elections to the end, the Qing Dynasty

The city seemed to be full of possibilities for reform. At least it knew that before the collapse, it knew how to strengthen the army to provide disaster relief, and could not do the ridiculous thing of turning a blind eye to the plague.

If the cost of three thousand US dollars for testing appeared in the Qing Dynasty, at least if the Qing court knew that the situation was really serious, they would chop off the heads of the medical insurance giants. Anyone who dares to shout Hallelujah will really make you see Hallelujah.

After staying in Tagore for a day, Sheffield went to the mining area of ​​Coahuila. Coahuila is a resource-rich place in Mexico. It is famous for its coal mines and iron ores and has the potential to be a manufacturing base. This is also the joint company.

The reason for operating here is that the population of Coahuila was not large at the beginning of the twentieth century, far less than that of Texas, and was not what it was a hundred years later when the Mexican population began to penetrate the border.

The United Company's factory is located among the mountains, but the slave owners did not really come to visit the factory, but entered a more inaccessible place, and John Connor had already come to greet him.

"I hope to see what I hope to appear!" Sheffield greeted the savior who came to greet him.

"After assembly and multiple rounds of testing, the situation is not bad." John Connor led the way and led his boss into the factory. There were not many people inside, but they were all the absolute confidants of the United Company.

John Connor was the first to lift the canvas, and a not-so-exaggerated water tank appeared in front of Sheffield. Seeing this thing, the slave owner smiled knowingly. The Sheffield Tractor Testing Base announced this new agricultural tractor.

The thing is a tank through and through.

And it has a basic tank appearance. It is definitely not the first time the British have entered actual combat. It looks like a full-scale off-road vehicle. The tank in front of you is equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns on both sides, and there is a 25mm tank gun on the turret. Five

As for the road wheels, the total weight is 7.5 tons, which is very small compared with the nearly 30 tons of the first tank invested by the British.

It doesn't matter if it's small, it's very good if there are no mistakes in the general direction. As long as a weapon has basic characteristics, the simpler it is, the better. The failure rate of complex weapons is extremely high.

"Drive it out and give it a try! I hope it is easy to maintain. The main thing is speed. Ignore things like firepower! Let's take a look at the suspension system." Sheffield pointed at John Connor's forehead and expressed that he wanted to take a look at this experimental tank.

Failure rate.

Torsion bar suspension is a form of suspension that relies on the elasticity of torsion springs to support the car body and absorb shock and vibration. Simply put, it is a torsible rod, horizontally at the bottom of the tank, with one end fixed to the car body, and the other end connected to the swing arm

The fixed end of the swing arm is connected to the car body, and the movable end of the swing arm is connected to the road wheel.

When the road wheel is forced upward, it will drive the swing arm to rotate around the fixed end and tighten the torsion bar. The elastic force generated when the torsion bar is tightened reacts on the swing arm and is transmitted to the road wheel to generate support force. This is the most space-saving

, and it is also the most effective suspension form. In later generations, almost all tanks are in this way. It has a good balance in terms of weight, volume, travel range, reliability, cost, etc.

In theory, this is the case. As for practice, at least there is still enough time to slowly test it. Looking at a dust storm with a telescope, Sheffield observes the reliability of the new agricultural water tank tractor.

The emergence of every new thing is always accompanied by failure. Sheffield is already prepared for failure. It is hoped that all failures will occur during testing, and it must be more reliable when it is actually used.

"Boss, if we had this thing thirty years ago, we would not have lost. At least the legion commander would not have died, and bullets could not penetrate this water tank!" John Connor was watching on the side. There were only two of them halfway up the mountain. As for the

The other bodyguards stayed in the factory. Even in the factory, they did not see the tank.

"This is a very novel angle, but we didn't have this technology thirty years ago. If the automobile and trust industries hadn't developed so well, and sufficient technology had been accumulated in engines, how could tanks have appeared?" Sheffield put it down.

Telescope said, "I want the detailed failure rate of Baili. At present, it seems that the basic obstacle surmounting and maneuverability are good. It is very suitable for the great plains in China."

"Boss?" John Connor looked surprised. What did he just hear? The Great Plains of China?

"It is essential to be on guard against others. Isn't the civil war the result of the conflict between our plantation economy and those Yankee factories? In essence, we were looted by them. I don't want to do it again, just in case it happens again one day.

When financial conflicts arise, Mr. Yang suddenly thinks of the glorious deeds of his father's generation, and he might not be able to bear it any longer, right?"

Sheffield smiled coldly. Is it okay if they are all white? The civil war is the most cruel and the least merciful. This is a basic common sense. Although in peacetime, the propaganda of various countries always say that our country has some unity and collective

national character.

Those who say it say it as they please, and those who listen hear it as they please, but they cannot be taken seriously.

"If there are no major problems in the test, we can directly dismantle them into parts and ship them back to China." Sheffield walked down the mountainside while talking. "The testers are all confidants. Their whole family is in Arlington, and they also returned to Arlington to work.

"You don't have to worry about the parts. The United Company has already standardized them. When something happens, each department will manufacture them separately and assemble and weld them."
