My America

Chapter 62: United Fruit Company

Although there was pressure from the outside of Britain and the impact of the economic depression inside, the only thing people could feel in this oak manor was ease and tranquility. Under the huge canopy, Sheffield and Annie lay on the lounge chairs, and it was not long before dozens of guests arrived one by one, making a gesture of asking to sit.

Among the people who came last time, Gale was among them. When he saw Annie next to Sheffield, she politely greeted, "Before you came to New Orleans, I heard you went to Europe When I came back to a count ’s daughter, I did n’t expect it to be so beautiful, enough for any man to envy. ”

"The word abduction is not used well. My family no longer does labor sales. Anne is coming to school in the United States and will go to school in Austin after a while!" Sheffield reached out and shook her finger, correcting the other party's description. Mistakes, and then the eyes fell on other people, not everyone knows, there are some strangers, but they should be all like Gael, they are all planters in Brazil.

But on a man, Sheffield's eyes stayed for a moment, shook his head secretly, the other's skin color? There is no problem with the dress of this young man, that is, there are some characteristics of people of color. To put it bluntly, mixed blood! But no black people are as serious as this, and in the southern United States today, it is a matter of saying big or small.

The discrimination in the southern states has always been more serious than that in the north. Although it is actually the same, the Dixie people do not cover up, and the Yangji people do n’t say anything. If this man's appearance is explained by the principle of a drop of blood, he is a black man.

The mixed blood in Latin American countries is very serious, and the people who can maintain the appearance of whites are the minority. The white people defined by later Latin Americans are actually the appearance of the alien Ronaldo. As for the people of other ethnic groups around the world besides the Latin Americans, do they also think they are also white?

"What's going on?" Under the guise of taking the wine himself, Sheffield asked about the person. "Although it's not serious, it's still a bit obvious."

"He is the son of a maid, and unfortunately his father's other unmixed children are all women, can't the plantation be passed on to women?" Gael explained helplessly, "You also know that Brazil defines the ethnic The United States is much looser, and no one expected that it would eventually fight, but his position is definitely on our side. McHale ’s manor recruited many soldiers to fight against the Paris government forces. "

"Fortunately, he came to Louisiana, and if he went to a state that was greatly influenced by Virginia, he would be defined as a black man at first sight." Sheffield said weakly, "But it is not impossible. The New Orleans family is still a bit of a network. Furthermore, the law governs those civilians. We are heroes of the United States. We used to bleed and sweat for the United States. It ’s not impossible. "

The two chatted while walking, and Sheffield said slowly, "The nature we are most good at is still plantations, I believe you will not deny that you have lived in Brazil for a long time, and everything has two sides. The climate should be well-known. In addition to a few limited land in Louisiana, the climate in the entire United States is actually relatively cold. For tropical fruits and crops, it depends on imports for a long time. "

The climate of North America is really unpredictable. Although it is broadly from North America to South America, all ethnic groups are called Indians, but the Indians in it are completely different. The environment in the United States is actually similar to the prairie north of the Great Wall. It is a standard nomadic area. The Indian ethnic groups in the United States are also mainly nomadic.

The center of civilization in the Americas is definitely impossible to see if the Arctic cold current wants to blow south in the United States every few years. In fact, it is precisely because the Arctic cold current has no obstruction to the south. The Indians of North America are harvested every few years Therefore, it is impossible to develop into a civilization, even a stable agricultural country.

The centers of civilization of the Indians were all in southern Mexico, Honduras, and Panama. The climate there will not be harvested by the Arctic cold current.

In the industrial age, the United States' favorable characteristics for industry came into play, and in the agricultural era, North America was really not a good place. For Latin America, it is equivalent to the Huns and Turks of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Now the territory of the United States, the land of subtropical climate is really not much, just a little more than the Republic of Hainan. But with a population of nearly 80 million, there is no demand for sweet tropical fruits, and no one believes it.

Many needs, don't look at the United States on the edge of Latin America, but people mainly first meet the needs of Europe's old imperialist countries, and dismiss the United States as a weak part of imperialism.

"Actually slaves and hired workers, that's just a form. Even without this form, we can open the plantation where we want, right?" Sheffield said his own while chatting The purpose said, "We have a deeper understanding of the tropical climate than Yankee, what land is suitable for planting, and can get the most benefit. No one knows better than us. We are citizens of the United States, and we are obliged to make tropical nutrition high. Fruits and crops enter the United States. The wealth you bring from Brazil can be reinvested. "

"It seems that you have a good investment in William, and even have an idea." Gael knew that Sheffield had a plan, and immediately made a deaf eared inquiry.

"Just with a little immature idea, after all, our foundation is there! The Port of New Orleans is a great place to face Latin America. Another important port, Houston, also has my own industry. The previous shipping company used to sell people. Now you can switch to tropical fruit, and the conditions are there. In addition, you can bring the experienced manpower to adapt to the tropics. This thing can be said that all the basic conditions are available! "Sheffield smiled," still want to Stand firmly in our areas of expertise and join forces to control the channels through which these fruits enter the United States. "

Back in the shade with a drink, Sheffield put on a brother ’s sincere smile, poured a glass of wine for everyone, and said, "Dear friends, welcome you back to your home country, please do n’t be Brazilian The result is sad. Sooner or later they will recover the price. The less the chaotic country has nothing to keep in mind, we have a more mature plantation model, and we have this foundation. "

Under Gael ’s help, Sheffield spoke out his ideas one by one, analyzed the advantages he had on this side, and finally said, "In order to show the unity between the Dixies, this company can Called United Fruit Company. "
