Chapter 507: German Grain Reserve Resolution
For these bankers represented by Morgan, Sheffield admired and guarded. There must be some truth in what happened, but it is not necessarily a good thing if it goes too far.
Farmers who cultivate land take the production of crops as a value, and industry creates wealth through workers. Both of the outputs are real labor results. As for these people in the financial industry? What are they producing?
Therefore, the Soviets later recorded only industrial and agricultural statistics in the national statistics. As for the tertiary industry, it was only meaningless to move the products produced by the former.
The Soviet Union did not take the tertiary industry seriously, and it was considered an excessive move. But like bankers like the United States, printing money and harvesting the world is not necessarily good for the United States. It can also be regarded as an extreme expansion of the financial industry.
Now bankers can only harvest the country, and have not yet evolved to a full body a hundred years later, nor have the power to cover the sky with future generations, and naturally have no good reputation.
Sheffield had a similarly negative impression of bankers like Morgan, which was not completely influenced by previous life. In fact, in this era, citizens of the United States do not think that greedy bankers are good people, and they are completely different from citizens who have lost their normal judgment in a hundred years. After all, happiness education has not been fully implemented in this era, so this year ’s citizens did not .
The vigilance against bankers has been around for a long time in the United States. President Jackson, who opened the Jacksonian democracy seventy years ago, was re-elected. One of Jackson ’s main events during his second term was the fight against the banks of the United States. Jackson felt that the power of the bank was too strong, and he urged Congress not to extend the franchise of Bank of America. He also ceased the privilege of banks to use federal funds and transferred federal funds to state banks.
Banker Biddle, at the time, did everything possible to keep Bank of America going. In order to achieve his goal, Biddle spared no effort to create financial chaos, and then blamed Jackson. Biddle's approach is to announce the immediate recovery of the loan. Many companies were forced to close because they had no bank loans, and many people lost their jobs.
The lawmakers who supported President Jackson at the time said that the banks cultivated power and became powerful and irresponsible opponents competing with the federal government for power. If Bank of America has the upper hand, anyone who is elected president will have to submit to bankers in the future. The question now is whether we choose the United States without banks or the banks without the United States.
At the beginning, Bank of America could be regarded as Morgan's predecessor, and it was not the first time in the history of the United States that the financial crisis was dumped to the federal government, and Morgan was just an example of emulation.
There are two paths ahead of Sheffield, continue to keep a distance from financial capital, and just join them if they can't fight. But the first way has been proved to be a failure by history. The second way, the slave owners are somewhat unacceptable, so they can't change their minds and beat them to join. Who is the leader?
Morgan may think he is doing his own thing, but Sheffield doesn't think so. Now if I talk to Morgan about the role of banker, it may not be so smooth. However, Sheffield believes that after a few terms of the Democratic Party, the future will be as if he had expelled Robert Lincoln from Morgan Jr. today, and his request will be more and more recognized.
The time of the inauguration of the president in the early twentieth century has not been changed. In March of the following year, the northern states of the United States have already experienced the power of cold air from the Arctic Circle. Sun, sand, and hormones only exist on the southern coastline.
Sheffield has left New York, where the air is sour. The reason for saying so is because many Republican supporters in New York are sour. It seems that in any era, there is a basis for public opinion after the failure.
New Yorkers are very unhappy now, so Sheffield is even more happy now. The invitation letter for the presidential inauguration ceremony on March 4th has been handed in. The respect of Alton Parker is still very happy for the gold master.
Sheffield ’s trip to Europe began after the New Year. This time he did not go to Europe alone, but went with Annie. After many years, Anne returned to the land of the European continent, but his identity was completely different.
Although in the eyes of some Parisian high society, Anne married a US upstart is not a bragging capital. But after really seeing the advantages of this woman's wealth and billions, many noble ladies are also rushing to make Anne feel the effect of being surrounded.
"They are so enthusiastic. Although some people look down on the United States in their hearts, they don't show it." Anne, who had finished washing at night, actually complained in front of the mirror, but the corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc. , "Don't be angry, William, the French are kind."
"Not angry, French. Not surprised!" Sheffield snorted with anger.
"Are you taunting my original motherland." Annie asked angrily.
"Absolutely not. I don't dare to underestimate France." Sheffield responded very seriously to his wife's doubts.
German xenophobia manifests in the heart, the Russians act on it, the French act on the surface. Not to mention that it is now, even after a hundred years, the French are still like this. Who was the first to attack the United States Breston Forest System, President Charles de Gaulle of the Fifth Republic of France.
Who is not to join NATO, who is the first western power to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic, who is the brain death of NATO. That's right, all are French. Unlike Germany and Russia, they have fallen into the pit one after another. The French have been the second best in the world since colonial times. They feel that they cannot bow their heads like others.
It ’s enough to listen to the insults of the law today. The French who faced the German army in the upcoming World War I were not soft persimmons. The thighs of the Allied nations were eliminated. The French that seemed to have weak national strength were removed. Vegetable, how can this country Sheffield connotate it.
If there is no United States, France will be the world ’s first aircraft producer, the world ’s first submarine technology country, and the most developed country in the film. 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 the introduction of technology to find Germany, and then be hit on the submarine, only to investigate France, a survey found that France is in front of the Germans in many technical applications. It's just that these technologies cannot close the gap at the beginning.
Leaving Anne in Paris, Sheffield went to the Ruhr area to talk to Thyssen and Krupp helms about food reserves. Now the elections in the United States have come to fruition. The conditions envisaged at that time were already complete, depending on how the Germans thought it would be possible to provide a market for agricultural products in the United States.
Sheffield stayed in Germany for ten days. He knew that his opponent was a stubborn country Juncker. In the eyes of many netizens in the republics of later generations, the Juncker class in Germany is a polite and powerful natural soldier. The Optimus Prime who fought for the country, the slave owner of course knew that it was all shit.
Bad things are all done by the SS, and the National Defense Forces have strict discipline. This kind of fart also fools the second-year youngsters. The Junker class in Germany has all the characteristics of reactionaries, short-sightedness, stubborn thinking, looking forward and backward, and throwing the pot afterwards.
Because of the opposition of these people, the Emperor Russia eventually led to the Allied camp. Since the reunification of Germany, the League of Three Emperors said goodbye to those who strictly prohibited Russian farm products.
So after entering the Ruhr area, Sheffield ridiculed these country gangsters unscrupulously. Although in the United States, in terms of industrial and agricultural distribution, Sheffield is the role of rural Junkers, and Yangji talents represent progressive industrial forces.
As an old dual-standard slave owner, this is just some unimportant details. With the bait of tariffs, Sheffield let the industrial capitalists in the Ruhr area, Konzern of different sizes, stand on their side.
"Actually, you Germans have taken advantage of it. No one knows the development trend better than me in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry." 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 all granite know that sometimes for the overall benefit of the country, they will sacrifice when they should sacrifice. "
Not only do friendships only talk about interests, this is more true. Fritz and Gustav and others thought so. In fact, before Sheffield arrived, they had already made relevant preparations. Taking the Moroccan crisis as an example, they persuaded the Kaiser to take the Anglo-French alliance seriously and prepare for a long-term confrontation.
While Sheffield was staying in France, Berlin had already had several discussions about this. Whether East Prussia gave way to the Ruhr area, or whether the Ruhr area continued to take care of East Prussia, it must be said today. The United States, which has already approached 100 million people, is a good place for German industrial capital to export, and the expected rate of return is huge. As a land snake in the Americas, the economy of the United States and the Empire is closer, and it also helps to expand the influence of the Empire.
The Konzern Group in the Ruhr area already had a common understanding of this, and for the empire and for themselves, let those rural Junkers give up a little interest. Every day in Berlin came the message of confrontation between the two factions, and finally on the twenty-fifth day of Sheffield ’s arrival in Europe, Berlin ’s resolution finally came down, establishing an imperial reserve grain system, and Sheffield finally got what he wanted.
