Sheffield admired and was wary of these bankers represented by Morgan. Whatever happened, there must be a reason for it, but if it went too far, it was not necessarily a good thing.

Farmers on the land produce crops for value, and industry relies on workers to create wealth through labor. The output of both is the real fruits of labor. As for these people in the financial industry? What do they produce?

Therefore, the later Soviets only recorded industry and agriculture in national statistics. As for the tertiary industry, they just moved the products produced by the former, which is actually meaningless.

The Soviet Union did not take the tertiary industry seriously at all, which can be regarded as an excessive move. However, bankers like the United States, printing money to harvest the world, may not necessarily be good for the United States internally, and it can be regarded as an over-expansion of the financial industry.

extreme.

Today's bankers can only reap domestic benefits and have not yet evolved to the full form that they will be a hundred years from now. They also do not have the power of future generations to cover the sky with one hand, so naturally they do not have a good reputation.

Sheffield also has a more negative impression of bankers like Morgan, but this is not entirely influenced by his previous life. In fact, in this era, citizens of the United States do not think greedy bankers are good people, and they have lost their normal judgment a hundred years later.

The citizens of this generation are completely different. After all, happiness education has not yet been fully implemented in this era, so this generation of citizens is not good enough.

The United States has been wary of bankers for a long time. President Jackson, who ushered in Jacksonian democracy seventy years ago, was re-elected in the presidential election. One of the main events during Jackson's second term was the struggle with the banks of the United States. Jackson felt that,

The banks were too powerful, and he urged Congress not to extend the Bank of the United States' charter. He also stopped the banks' privileges to use federal funds and transferred federal funds to state banks.

Biddle, the bank president at the time, tried every means possible to keep Bank of America in business. In order to achieve his goal, Biddle did not hesitate to create financial chaos and then shifted the responsibility to Jackson. Biddle's approach was to announce the immediate callback of loans. Many companies had no

Bank loans were forced to close down, and many people lost their jobs as a result.

Congressmen who supported President Jackson at the time said that banks cultivated power and became powerful, irresponsible opponents of the federal government. If the Bank of the United States gained the upper hand, anyone elected as president in the future would have to submit to the bankers.

That works. The question now is whether we choose a United States without banks or a United States without banks.

The original Bank of the United States can be regarded as Morgan's predecessor. It was not the first time in the history of the United States that it also blamed the federal government for creating a financial crisis. Morgan was just imitating its predecessors.

There are two ways in front of Sheffield: continue to keep a distance from financial capital, or join them if you can't beat them. But the first way has been proven to be a failure by history, and the second way is unacceptable to slave owners.

, you can’t change your mind and beat them before joining, who is in the driver’s seat?

Morgan may think that he is doing his part, but Sheffield does not think so. If you talk to Morgan about the role of bankers now, it may not go so well. But Sheffield believes that after a few terms of the Democratic Party, the future will be like what he is today.

Asking Morgan Jr. to fire Robert Lincoln would make demands more and more accepted.

The presidential inauguration date at the beginning of the 20th century had not yet been changed. It was in March of the following year. The northern states of the United States had already experienced a little bit of the power of the cold air from the Arctic Circle. Sunshine, sandy beaches, and hormones only existed on the southern coastline.

superior.

Sheffield has left New York, where the air is sour. The reason why I say this is because many Republican supporters in New York are making slanderous remarks. It seems that in any era, there is a basis for public opinion to blame others after a failure.

New Yorkers are very unhappy now, so Sheffield is even happier now. The invitation to the presidential inauguration on March 4th has been received. Alton Parker's tribute is still very happy for the donor.

Sheffield's European trip started after the New Year. This time he did not go to Europe alone, but took Annie with him. Annie returned to the European continent after many years, but her identity was completely different.

Although in the eyes of some upper-class people in Paris, Anne's marriage to an American upstart was not something to brag about. However, after truly seeing the advantages of this woman's wealth and billions, many ladies also flocked to it, which made Anne feel that she was being married.

Crowding effect.

"They are so enthusiastic. Although some people look down on the United States in their hearts, they don't show it." After washing in the evening, Anne actually complained in front of the mirror, but the corners of her mouth turned up in a nice curve, and she complained duplicitously in front of the slave owner.

, "William, don't be angry, the French are quite friendly."

"You're not angry, you're French. You're not surprised!" Sheffield snorted. There's nothing to be angry about.

"Are you mocking my original country?" Anne asked angrily.

"Absolutely not, I dare not underestimate France." Sheffield responded to his wife's question very seriously.

Germany's xenophobia is reflected in the heart, the Russians take it into action, and the French show it on the surface. Not to mention now, even a hundred years later, the French are still like this, the first to challenge the United States' Braston Woods system

Who performed the surgery? Charles de Gaulle, President of the Fifth French Republic.

Who is not joining NATO? Who is the first Western power to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic? Who is it that says NATO is brain-dead? Yes, they are all French. Unlike Germany and Russia, who have fallen into the trap one after another, the French have been around since the colonial era.

He is the second best person in the world and feels that he cannot bow his head like others.

Just listen to today’s jokes about insulting the law. The French, who are going to have a head-to-head confrontation with the German army in the upcoming World War I, are not soft persimmons. They are the real allies of the Allied Powers. Excluding France, which seems to be weak in national strength, the Allied Powers are just giving away to the Germans.

Food, how can Sheffield, a country like this, comprehend it.

If the United States did not exist now, France would be the world's number one aircraft manufacturer, the country with the world's number one submarine technology, and the country with the most developed movies. Although French industry is not as strong as Germany, it is very advanced in the application of new technologies.

.

Sheffield also once took it for granted that it would introduce technology to Germany and then be slapped in the face on submarines, so he investigated France carefully. After an investigation, he found that France was ahead of the Germans in many technological applications. It was just these technologies.

At the beginning, I couldn't close the gap.

Leaving Anne in Paris, Sheffield went to the Ruhr area to talk to the heads of Thyssen Associates and Krupp about grain reserves. Now that the results of the United States election have come out, the conditions originally envisaged are in place. , it depends on what the Germans think, whether they can provide a market for the agricultural products of the United States.

Sheffield stayed in Germany for ten days. He knew that his opponent was the country Junckers who were known for their stubbornness. In the eyes of many netizens in later generations of the Republic, the German Junkers were polite, martial and powerful natural soldiers who fought for the country. The Optimus Prime Stone, of course the slave master knows that this is all bullshit.

All bad things are done by the SS. The Wehrmacht has strict discipline. This kind of nonsense can only fool a middle-school boy. The Junkers in Germany have all the characteristics of a reactionary. They are short-sighted, stubborn in thinking, hesitant to look forward and backward, and blame others after the fact.

Because of the opposition of these people, Imperial Russia eventually led to the Allied camp. Since the unification of Germany, the Alliance of Three Emperors said goodbye in the hands of these people who strictly prohibited Russian farm products.

Therefore, after entering the Ruhr area, Sheffield ridiculed these country bumpkins unscrupulously, although in the United States, in terms of the distribution of industry and agriculture, Sheffield is the role of the rural Junkers, and the Yankees are the industrial force representing progress.

As an old double-standard slave owner, this was just a matter of unimportant details. Using tariffs as bait, Sheffield made the industrial capitalists of the Ruhr area and the Concerns of various sizes stand on his side.

"Actually, you Germans have taken advantage. When it comes to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, no one understands the development trend better than me." Sheffield said eloquently, "We complement each other's shortcomings, which is beneficial to both parties. Of course, our common position now is to let those Junkers, whose heads are full of granite, know that sometimes they have to sacrifice when it is time to sacrifice for the overall interests of the country."

It is more real to talk about interests than just friendship. Fritz, Gustav and others believed this deeply. In fact, before Sheffield arrived, they had already made relevant preparations, using the Moroccan crisis as an example to persuade The Kaiser took the issue of the Anglo-French alliance seriously and was prepared for a long-term confrontation.

When Sheffield was staying in France, Berlin had already had several discussions on this matter. Should East Prussia give way to the Ruhr area, or should the Ruhr area continue to take care of East Prussia? Today, there must be an explanation. It is approaching 100 million. The populous United States is a good place for the export of German industrial capital, and the return rate is expected to be huge. As the leader of the Americas, the economy of the United States and the Empire are closer, which also helps to expand the influence of the Empire.
