Chapter 511: April Fool's Day State of the Union Address
Sheffield suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have taken the Anne to the White House. He thought that there was a sense of guilt in this dim sum. This woman knows the truth and is a model for everyone's boudoirs. After marrying, she also managed everything. According to the traditional concept, it is simply the right wife who can not pick out the fault.
While walking, Annie's hand could not help pulling slightly, causing the woman's dissatisfaction to exclaim, "What's wrong?"
"Just to think of it, it seems that this is the first time to bring you to the White House. I feel a little bit uncomfortable!" Sheffield showed an honest side again. "This stage is actually very suitable for you. You must be very happy when you are in France. "
"I have forgotten that time, now I am just your wife, with wealth that people can't think of, and the choice of countless people's fate. As long as I want to, I can press the pause of other people's lives, I have nothing It's dissatisfying. "Anne seemed to be touched in her heart, and her husband's conscience would find it rare?
Even if it was just a short moment, it was enough for her to be excited, and her husband still cared about how he felt.
The celebration outside was nearing its end. When it was night, the White House ball had just begun. The well-dressed VIPs were no better than citizens who marched outside.
The slave owner does not know what high society is, but fortunately his women know it, and it can be said that in the entire United States, few women know what high society is like Anne. To know that French used to be the standard of European high society, how to show their bright side, no one is more professional than the French.
Compared with his wife, Sheffield is like a wooden pile, and the slave owner has long been accustomed to talking straight. In this hypocritical situation, he still tries to speak less and let his wife do the work.
Annie is very busy. The Sheffield family has this tradition. The hostess ’s speaking ability is not worse than that of men. With the influence of this reputation, Anne is naturally surrounded by stars and bears the praise of some vulgar and popular fans. .
"Not bad!" Sheffield blinked, watching this scene was not unacceptable. It was better to be surrounded by a group of women than to be surrounded by a group of men.
Sheffield's idle wandering, if it did not meet the tobacco king James Duke, it really is not interesting.
"It's rare for Mrs. Anne to come to this occasion!" James Duke said first with surprise. "William, you seem to hide your partner very tightly, I think this is not good."
"Beauty is open for yourself alone. It's called beauty. Communicating flowers is not a good word." Sheffield gave James Duke a glance and didn't think he was doing something wrong. Instead, this tobacco king, a big old man, had nothing to do every day. Not even married, Sheffield really wanted to ask him, when was your daughter born? I'm still waiting for my son to swallow your property.
But having said that, what's wrong with the rich in the United States at the beginning of the century? One by one seems to have no interest in marriage, Carnegie is like this, so is James Duke.
The two did not say a few words, and Alton Parker appeared with his wife. As the protagonist of today, the Alton Parker couple undoubtedly became the focus of everyone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sheffield returned to ten thousand people. Central wife's side.
The guests congratulated the Alton Parker couple and the William Bryan couple, and the other party in turn chatted with friends they knew well. The essence of the Victory Conference at this time showed the most vivid aspect.
This kind of feeling is hard to describe, but it should be almost the way to the pinnacle of life. The uncomfortable group has left the White House. What is left is all the high-level voters of the Democratic Party. Everyone is happy and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Although the current economy is not good, it is not so bad. The economic crisis is divided into two types. One is the chronic economic depression. It occurs in a subtle manner. The ordinary people feel that life can still go on. This kind of example often appears in China during the agricultural era. A dynasty reached its zenith and began to go down. The Ming and Qing dynasties are typical. In the industrial era, Japan fell into a stagnation and was an example of the emergence of industrial society.
The current economic depression in the United States is also considered chronic and still within control. The other type of economic depression is the flash crash. The Great Depression of the 1930s is impressive because it is a typical flash crash.
After a while, two couples, Alton Parker and William Bryan, came to Sheffield and James Duke and chatted about some policy changes. Everyone knows that with the Democratic Party coming to power, there will definitely be changes. Is just a matter of strength.
"I absolutely believe that voters will not have hope for Mr. President in vain." Sheffield said with a pinch of wine glass. "In fact, for the economic aspect, it is nothing more than a problem of supply and demand, something that our country cannot solve. It can be solved together with other countries, and all diplomatic interests can be used. It can also be used in the economy. Even if it is unsolvable, I believe that the country ’s huge land and population will definitely recover faster than those in Europe. . "
In fact, most of what Sheffield said is nonsense, and only one voter will not hope in vain. He really wants to say to Alton Parker. Since coming to power, he will come up with a completely different solution from the Republican Party. Because of the different distribution of supporters, we must definitely focus on policies and give priority to taking care of our basic plate.
Obviously, Alton Parker understands this. As a former judge, he knows all kinds of words and can clearly distinguish the true meaning of the official statement. At the same time, he also unabashedly stated that he will respect the important opinions of the citizen class and lead the country to complete the economic crisis.
"This is a worse world after all. In fact, as long as we let the citizens of our country know that people in other countries are more unhappy, it seems that we are better off." Sheffield chuckled, wanting to see the world, his own opinion The media must shoulder this responsibility and **** Alton Parker's presidential journey.
In the eyes of citizens of the United States, the image of other countries must be negative. If people live well and domestic citizens know the real situation, this will increase the cost of governance. Even if it is a rumor, it does not matter. Anyway, the syphilis British said that it is French disease The French say that it is a British disease, and the Ottomans do not need to distinguish so finely, the European disease! Haven't you been here for so many years?
For William Bryan as vice president, Sheffield also did not neglect and chatted for a long time. The two men also counterattacked with a stunt twelve years ago, but William Bryan ’s enemies were too powerful, and the two sides also had friendship. of.
A few days later, Sheffield went south with his wife, of course, to prepare for the expansion of the port. Now that the export is on the agenda again, the original pier can no longer shoulder this responsibility, and the port needs to become more modern. The container terminal is something that meets the standards of the slave owners, not the dockers carrying big bags.
Jobs are certainly worthy of cherish, but some jobs will also be eliminated with the times. The old job opportunities are gone, and new job opportunities will naturally be created. Sheffield publicly announced that there will be a terminal revolution, and is already in During the process, as for the dissatisfaction and complaints of some dock workers, the guardian police of the United States Order will naturally deal with it.
Slave owners will not give in to the appeals of dockers. They said to outsiders that social change will not stop because of this obstruction. Dockers can learn how to drive, how to operate machinery, how to perform maintenance, and promote machinery to let people from Freed from the original heavy labor, it is also creating new jobs.
When Sheffield adjusted the smuggling to give way to the exit, Alton Parker was also formulating his own policy platform, and also asked William Bryan ’s opinion that the two people agreed on the protection of farmers ’interests. Among the supporters of the Democratic Party, the agricultural population occupies a large proportion and should be given priority attention to fulfill the promises of voters.
After preparing for nearly a month, on April 1st, April Fool ’s Day, Alton Parker carried out the first outline of the State of the Union Address with the organized outline. The State of the Union Address is mainly composed of three parts. The first point For the fairness of domestic competition, I promised to continue President Roosevelt's antitrust law, and at the same time be in respect of the law. When the antitrust law is implemented, we will more respect the opinions of the judges.
This can be regarded as a kind of amendment to Roosevelt's always pressure through public opinion, letting more professional judges dominate all this. This article was undoubtedly recognized, and then Alton Parker proceeded to the second part, under the guise of paying attention to the disadvantaged groups, operating on racial issues, "We cannot ignore the survival of a group, that is, white and black Generations of mixed races, these groups are rejected by some white and black extremists, unable to make their voices, out of this objective fact, we introduce the concept of Latin people to call this mixed race group. The new racial division bill, will This group differentiates. "
This division bill is a bill that Sheffield and some southern farmers have discussed. To revise the principle of a drop of blood in some southern states, in his view, the principle of a drop of blood is too bad for white people. Even black people with black blood will only make more black people and less white people.
A mixed-race group may not be white, but it is not black. What is it? Isn't Latin America all mixed races, even Latin people, so the separation of mixed races is different from the Spanish-speaking Latin people a hundred years later. And near the border with Mexico, Sheffield crammed many immigrants from Eastern sects, preventing the Latins from crossing the border.
Regarding the race segmentation bill, there was a debate in Congress, but in the end most of the members also approved this amendment. Alton Parker played a sign that focused on the vulnerable groups, so that people could not object.
As for the final part of the State of the Union address, it revolves around an issue that does not know how long it will be, tariffs.
