While in Oak Manor, Sheffield was looking at the eyeballs inside with a mirror. It must be explained that he did n’t sleep well last night. The lack of a woman ’s bed was part of the reason, mainly because of the explosion of the battleship Maine.

It did n’t take long for McHale, Gael, and others to come in a hurry. The large number of New Orleans estates are now famous, and they all live nearby. They want to come to Oak Manor very quickly. fast.

McHale held a newspaper, and when he sat down, he said angrily, "I heard that the battleship Maine was sunk by the Spaniards."

"McHair, listen to what William said!" Gael caught his friend and looked at Sheffield. "William, what do you think?"

"If Spain had this ability, would it wait until today? The battleship Maine has been in Havana for half a month, the expatriates have almost evacuated, what is this battleship staying there for?" Sheffield put down the mirror and ended The maintenance of the body age of nineteen years old, with a smiley expression, "And there are no Spanish warships nearby, this is all news from the employees of the United Company. Some telegrams say that it is more like an internal explosion. . "

As soon as this remark came out, Carter was directly shocked and shook his head hard. "It's impossible. That warship is worth millions of dollars. It has hundreds of naval officers and soldiers from the United States. Will the federal government guide itself?"

"Maybe it's not self-directed, but Spain's chances of doing this are lower than self-directed." Sheffield said with a white tooth, "Our country is so huge, there are two parties, countless internal factions. , The spokespersons of major companies, even if I can't figure out what is going on, who knows. "

Carter's current performance is obviously still not quite able to believe that the federal government will do this kind of thing. Obviously he had forgotten the cause of the outbreak of the Civil War thirty years ago. It was not a black issue at all. It was because the South relied on international trade and was unwilling to be sheared by the North.

Gael heard Sheffield's statement, but it made a lot of sense, but he also raised his own doubts. "So the suspicion of Spain is smaller, but is this kind of operation too rough."

Some of the rough words are relatively gentle. Sheffield translated Gael ’s meaning, that is, to think carefully about the time before and before and before the preparation. I think the self-directed explosion is a bit too stupid. The federal government should not do this. .

Sheffield was arrogant. The US-Spanish War, as the United States started talking about Moneroism and headed towards the beginning of a global empire, was clearly a little inexperienced in planning such shameless things for the first time. This is completely understandable. After all, everyone needs a process of growth. Without the explosion of the battleship Maine today, there will be no later washing powder, and the washing powder can no longer be casually carried out at the United Nations General Assembly, is it?

It is said that in this era, due to conditions and technology, playing a time difference is enough to fool the citizens of the United States. Not everyone happened to board the Maine, and then ordered to watch at the port of Havana. I want to know whether the suspect is what happened.

So it seems stupid or insulting IQ, a bit too high of the IQ of citizens of the United States. The Kennedy brothers and Kennedy ’s son all died unexplained, and successive accidents were concentrated in the relatives of a family. Even the citizens of the entire United States saw that there was a terrorist force against the Kennedy family, and the federal government was covering it. If you do n’t announce it, that ’s the IQ that is humiliating the citizens of the whole country. Where does this go?

"Now the entire federal government needs our help. I believe that all newspapers have targeted Spain regardless of their positions!" Sheffield licked her lips meaningfully. "Public opinion needs this war. We need help in public opinion." The federal government uses all our possible forces. Democrats quickly put pressure on the government, and the southern states need war propaganda. Citizens need to spontaneously carry out war demonstrations to support the war. It should not be a problem for us Dixies. Donations We took all the money. "

As a patriotic citizen of the United States, Sheffield understands the difficulties of the federal government very well at this time. He is so patriotic that he naturally wants to help the federal government solve this difficulty.

Seeing that Gail and McHale both nodded, Sheffield called Jesra and whispered, and then the bodyguard left the manor. Who would be the most appropriate to do this, and wanted to express patriotic enthusiasm in the southern states, naturally It's the 3k party, only this white glove has the most experience to do this.

The crowds at Oak Manor dispersed, leaving to prepare their own contributions and express their support for the federal government. After Jesra returned, Sheffield issued another private order, "Although I said to my partners, it ’s really not important to tell the truth, but for the joint company, to understand this matter is actually Very important, I want to know who planned this event. I feel that Theodore Roosevelt, even if he is not the mastermind, should be an insider. He should also be an insider. First, let ’s see if any officer leaves the battleship that day. It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, why should we get off the ship. "

His slave owner certainly has no interest in justice and injustice. There is no room for Spanish justice. But if the secret of this matter is in your hand, it may be an ace. Especially now that the United States is still in the climbing stage, a good reputation is also very important, the evidence is in the hands, and it is also to deal with some possible accidents.

You must know that Theodore Roosevelt will become president in the future. Sheffield has always followed the trend of history, keeping history on the normal track as much as possible, so as to be able to grasp the veins as far as possible, and William, the most powerful Democrat at present. Brian, it's really unpopular at United.

In this way, it is also possible to choose Theodore Roosevelt. If the other party is really involved in the Maine explosion, there is a handle in the hands of the United Company.

Jesra nodded to understand the boss's latest thoughts, "I will arrange people to conduct a secret investigation and collect as much evidence as possible."

Jesra began to turn back. Sheffield poured himself a cup for himself. Cheering in the air was a celebration. He knew that all he could do now was wait. There was no revenge on the spot in the war. Humiliation, revenge the next day, this kind of thing do not even think about it, how to wait until the public opinion is initially formed, he believes that he is not alone in helping the federal government make up its mind.

"The most important thing in a war is whether the soldiers are willing to risk their lives to fight for the war. We have a well-trained and mobile army, and we forget that the vast majority of the army was full of people in the past, Facing danger and expressing cowardice, they then had to face a group of **** who claimed to be rulers and ruled their country. They robbed their people. The army must appear when needed, because doing so would make the enemy and the enemy ’s family Facing the anger of God, and this is what the federal government and military should do now. "

The Chicago Daily Times used the sharpest article to urge the federal government and army to immediately intervene in Cuba. This is not only to get justice for the officers and men on the battleship Maine, but also to help the Cuban people get rid of the blood of a European country. colonial ruling.

This is not the only newspaper under the Sheffield banner. In addition to being a slave owner, the United States also has two digging giants in the newspaper industry. Although they are not as powerful as the United Company in cross-industry development, they are in the newspaper industry. It is enough to be called a giant, and Hirst and Pritzer are also using their own newspapers for war agitation.

The San Francisco Investigative Newspaper and the New York Times are all using the explosion of the USS Maine as an excuse to point out Spain ’s provocative behavior against the United States and express that this war is inevitable. At the dawn of the American century, all patriotic citizens will not endure this humiliation.

Hurst is strictly speaking the enemy of Sheffield, because in California, his newspaper always sings against the Los Angeles Times. The problem of Chinese labor is the main problem of the confrontation between the two. Forgot to say that this person is Irish. Xie Field is ready to solve this **** against himself after the war, but now, the newspaper giant is a partner, and their goals are the same.

Although the newspaper under the **** usually has the title, "Mysterious murderer who killed Little Bessie!", "Why did the young girl commit suicide?", "Playboy Xunhua asked Liu!", "Why did the youth in the town do this to young women?" Such a thing! ".

Under the turbulent public blessings of domestic citizens, William McKinley has also been under tremendous pressure. Many public figures have accused him of weakness, and Democrats have opened a bombardment in Congress, teasing the Republicans ’timidity. Citizens of the southern states are marching for war.

Just today in the New York Daily News, Deputy Navy Secretary Theodore Roosevelt ’s remarks were revealed again, “In the matter of the Maine, the United States was subjected to the worst betrayal by Spain. Navy officers and soldiers must never forget.”

Later, when the United States and Spain jointly investigated the reasons for the silence, the New York Herald reported publicly, "The big companies here believe that we will have a war. I believe everyone welcomes the war and gets rid of worry."

"Telegraph for Haiti, let our people stand by at any time, Mr. President is a pacifist, but he can't persevere for long!" Sheffield held the New York Herald in his hand, which was already a big business talk, forcing the president The report of the war is on, in other words, all citizens are eagerly waiting for William McLay to order.

The president ’s idea of ​​peace lasted for a month. In April, a joint resolution of the two houses of Congress declared Cuba ’s independence and demanded that Spain withdraw its troops. The Senate added the Taylor Amendment and denied any attempts by the United States on Cuban territory. McKinley signed a war resolution and submitted a copy to the Spanish government, with a notice that unless Spain gave a satisfactory answer before April 23, McKinley would implement it.

He did not know that Theodore Roosevelt had already taken advantage of the absence of the Secretary of the Navy to preemptively issue combat readiness orders to the Asian fleet.
