My America

At this time, Sheffield had arrived in Rio de Janeiro. Together with the richest woman, she began to make friends with politicians of the future superpowers. To say that Brazil is a great place, but it is not so good. Although the agricultural era is rich in products, it is a difficult thing to surrender to the tropical rain forest known as the green desert.

In the industrial age, Brazil, which lacks almost all raw materials, like other countries in Latin America, lacks the very important raw material coal for industrial start. Oil has not been discovered in this era. Even if it is discovered, it is barely enough reserves. , Let alone export.

Brazil is equivalent to a man with a good height and weight, a handsome face, and a good personality. No matter how he looks, he can't pick out a big problem. The only small problem is that this man is infertile. .

Thanks to the contacts provided by Gail and McHale, Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller who arrived in Rio de Janeiro received a very warm reception and got on the line with the parliamentarians of the United States of Brazil.

"When I saw a warship entering the port, I was shocked by the old man. If I come again next time, don't make such a big move." The old senator Augusta made an exaggerated expression.

"A country as big as the United States of Brazil cannot be frightened by a warship!" Sheffield humbly complimented. "The United States of Brazil is the United States of America in Latin America. Naturally it is a big country. It will only be stronger in the future."

In front of this senator whose full name is Luis Carlos Almeida da Augusta, Sheffield expressed his optimism about the United States of Brazil, saying that this time he also prepared a certain level of investment to help Brazil develop Textile industry, and is ready to start business in the United States of America.

"I don't know yet, Brazil has already had such a big attraction." Augusta still reflects the optimistic style of Latin Americans, speaking like a joke.

This is similar to Sheffield, except that the slave owner made a serious joke, saying that the compliment, Edith Rockefeller did not take it seriously, the two have been together for a long time. Until now she could not judge whether the slave owner was telling the truth or was lying at a serious time. Both things were the same breath.

The two had a very hot conversation. In fact, although they hadn't met each other, their business had already started a long time ago. What are Gael and McHale? The slave owners, or those who fled from the United States to Brazil, were arguably the most stubborn people in the Southern Union.

Augusta is the spokesperson raised by Gail and McHale in the Brazilian Congress, and advocates the mild abolition of slavery, giving slave owners certain compensation in exchange for these slave owners to give up slavery. The people of the Black Gold Company are the main force for smuggling labor into Brazil. The two sides have naturally dealt with each other, and now it is just a formal meeting.

After Gail and their return to the United States, many plantations in Brazil were sold to members of Congress such as Augusta, and both parties did not completely sever ties.

Regarding the investment in the textile industry, Augusta naturally said that everything is wrapped in itself, even if it is for the long-term friendship between the two parties, this should be a matter of division.

"In fact, we have a lot of textile materials in Brazil, but we need new technology to lead to formality. If you can get the help of the joint company, this is a good thing." Augusta is very happy to express her welcome to Sheffield investment , Pointed out Brazil's advantage in cotton.

This advantage is best known to Sheffield. In the past two decades, Latin American countries competing with the southern states for raw material exports, Brazil and Argentina are all well-known presences on the list. It can be said that they are long-term enemies of the United Company. Fortunately, after a few years The joint company has transformed into a comprehensive Kangzeen group. It is still very important for agriculture and animal husbandry to be the foundation, but it has not relied on agriculture and animal husbandry to create profits. The occupation of agriculture and animal husbandry only shows that we are important to the country.

Think about it. In fact, the world has not changed much. One hundred years later, the United States is competing for the Asian market. It seems that it is still Brazil.

The first meeting between the two parties left a deep impression on the other party. With this good impression, they already have preliminary contact between the government and businessmen.

"It looks very smooth." Returning to the estate where McHale was still in possession, Edith Rockefeller lay down wearily, but the smile on his face showed that he was still satisfied with the meeting.

"If you only invest in the textile industry, it is naturally not a big problem, and the most basic industries are often not paid attention to, and the United States of Brazil has a large land and a much smaller population than our country. It is not bad to export agricultural products .. But if it is a truly important industry, I will not mention it, and the Brazilians will not agree. "

Sheffield took off the bow tie around his neck and added a few specific conditions. The countries that dared to clamor with the United States in this era of Latin America are not everywhere, but there are many. These countries simply don't think how powerful the United States of America is. Many countries are thinking of making close attacks, using European countries far away to fight the pressure of the United States.

This kind of psychology is similar to that in Southeast Asia a hundred years later. The Panama Canal is a perfect example. The United States has spent decades of energies before and after arousing hatred in Colombia.

Even Colombia dares to confront, not to mention Brazil, the largest country in Latin America. Even until the end of World War II, there were still some countries that did not understand the changes in things, and did not know that Britain and France were no longer good enough. It was the Central Intelligence Agency who did some beautiful operations to make Latin American countries really understand that the world has changed.

Therefore, the initiative to invest in Brazil is not in the hands of Sheffield, but depends on whether the Brazilian Congress really values ​​this industry. If not, it will be easier to handle. Now it seems that the Brazilian does not think that the textile industry is very important. This is a good thing and gives him room to operate.

"It's time to get in touch with New Orleans." Sheffield stretched her waist and got up with a strong spirit. Domestic affairs were still more important. He wanted to know where he was now.

The daily newspaper of the Chicago Daily, the editor-in-chief of Albert, is face-to-face interviewing Connie, a feminist activist who has penetrated into the southern countryside. Albert has a feeling that this will be a big news that detonates the citizen class. The interview has been It lasted for two hours, during which Albert asked questions about the realities of the southern countryside and the authenticity of what Connie and Feminist activists saw and heard.

"It must be said that there can be a wide range of violations and atrocities against women in black communities and villages in the South. According to the surveys we visited, black men do not respect their families and often interact with women to satisfy themselves. ** I ’m impulsive, afterwards I find various reasons to shirk, and I do n’t bear the cost of maintenance. The low morality is simply shocking. "Connie has complained of tears and complaints from scenes seen in rural villages and communities in the south. , "Women should be respected and laws must be introduced to stop this phenomenon."

"Yes, an individual case, or a widespread phenomenon?" Albert asked again, asking Connie to answer this question.

"It is a common phenomenon. I am very shocked by the many children who do not have a family. These children have not received the love of their parents since childhood and have not received a little help. When they grow up, they will be like their parents. Ignore family values ​​and repeat the lives of my parents. If a boy witnesses this behavior becoming a habit every day, it will be considered normal and this is a very terrible thing. "

"How rampant is violence against women? Why hasn't it attracted public attention for a long time." Albert is also preparing to use this interview to achieve his goals, such as increasing eyeball sales by bloggers.

With the conversation between the two, the writer on the side recorded a series of atrocities in Connie ’s mouth, such as deception, sexual assault, and many black women who were raped without adulthood. They started as a child. Raising children.

For Albert, the news is not afraid of explosiveness, the more explosive the better, Connie ’s narrative even makes him feel that he does not need to add oil and vinegar, this is not a good phenomenon, does it mean that his editor is incompetent?

After the interview was over, Albert and the writers personally searched for materials from the records, combined to complete the topic this time, and had the explosive effect of tomorrow. They said excitedly, "If we can expose such social problems, we will definitely become The country ’s most influential newspaper must dare to expose the real situation. "

At this moment, Albert's excavation complex hidden in the body can finally no longer be covered up. Heroes and honors seem to be waving to themselves, indicating that there will be awards named after them in the future, commending their own Fear of power. If the slave owner knows that his employees have this wish, it is also easy to handle. As long as this matter is successful, Albert's wish can be realized.

In this Chicago Daily Times feature, Albert has a witty but very sharp tone, covering Connie ’s experience with the entire newspaper, first of all with a small chapter at the beginning, introducing the claims of feminist activists, and a little Some have a tendency to speak for them, but immediately pointed to these women. After going deep into the southern states, the shocking scene that women saw was that they were vulnerable groups, and black women were so vulnerable.

In the face of atrocities from the same skin color, it hasn't attracted any group's attention for such a long time. It can't help but make people feel deeply questioned, what is wrong with this country?
