That aspect? Sheffield couldn't help but think crookedly, but the few IQs still made him react, Annabelle, we are referring to the United States, she wants to ask if the United States of America can win this war with Mexico. The answer is, of course, yes, that the result of the war was that the United States seized more than half of Mexico's territory at the cost of a very smile, and from then on Mexico went from being a great power in the Americas to a belly of a fish.

"Please sit down, I have met your father Sheffield Sr. a few times, and I heard that Sffield Sr. volunteered to go to the army, which is really surprising!" Wilson Taylor spoke as if it wasn't the first time the two had met, and spoke in a tone like seeing an acquaintance, "Annabelle said that you are a young man with a lot of ideas, and it just so happens that we also want to know where the current war has been?" So I wanted to ask you about ......"

Wilson Taylor's unexpectedly frank attitude did not match Sheffield's predictions. The fluffy hair seems to have not been washed for a long time, and the beard covers a large area, which is closer to a bandit in the image.

Sheffield smiled and said, "I once said to Anna that after the victory of this war, the Lone Star Republic will be incorporated into the territory of the United States, and in order to maintain the balance of power between us and the North in the Senate, the Democratic Party that supports the war with Mexico this time should let the Lone Star Republic join the United States as a slave state!" ”

Wilson Taylor leaned back in his chair with his hands crossed and motionless, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. Seeing this, John Taylor opened his mouth to Sheffield and asked, "If the war is won, what you said is very reasonable in deduction, but what if the war is lost?" ”

"Mr. John, no one can guarantee that the war will be won by their side, and neither can God!" Sheffield held an indifferent attitude and said indifferently, "The war between the two countries is an adventure in itself, and they want to gain benefits but don't want to take risks!" Which country is like this, and I want to settle in this kind of country! ”

"John doesn't mean that, we take risks naturally, but it depends on how big the risk is, if the risk is too high, this is not a risk, but a gamble! Although we love the adventurous life, we are not gamblers! Wilson Taylor said modestly, "Annabelle came home and said that you know a lot of things, and she cherishes you as a friend!" ”

As he spoke, Wilson looked at his daughter, who was sitting next to Sheffield, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. If Sheffield knew Wilson's thoughts at this time, he would definitely be able to give a correct diagnosis, and this feeling of being arched by pigs in cabbage that has been cultivated for many years will appear at different times for each father.

Considering that the masons are still going to build houses today, Sheffield has no idea of wasting time here, and it is obvious that the Taylor brothers are interested in the prospect of a boom in slavery, so it is up to them to analyze their strength, "According to my father's last letter, the current troops going south have only passed through a small group of Mexican troops, and their combat effectiveness is not too strong. Before Mexico's independence, the core area was not very large, whether it was the Lone Star Republic or their own northern territory, the population was not very large, it is not too much to say that the land was vast and sparsely populated, according to the current time, the army going south now should be fighting in Saltillo, the capital of Coahuila, and the current progress can be said to be very fast! ”

"As you said, we are far from the core of Mexico, our army is far from fighting on our own soil, and the victory or defeat of the war is far from being judged by the current situation, and if we put a lot of money on the victory of the war, the risk is too great!" John Taylor listened carefully to Sheffield's analysis and said.

"The Taylor family will not lose anything by hoarding black slaves, even if the war is lost, the price of slaves will not fall, not to mention that our chances of winning the war are much greater than that of Mexico, because at present, the United States Navy has not participated in the war, but the army going south is fighting the Mexican army! As long as our navy chooses a port in Mexico to land and attack the two main attack sites together, the war with Mexico still has a good chance of winning! Sheffield is not a cheer for the Taylor brothers, after all, the United States still has a strategic advantage, as long as the early progress is smooth, the people who opposed the war earlier in the north see that it is profitable, and the United States unanimously supports the war, and the strength is still above Mexico.

"Two uncles, don't you think it's a joke to ask an underage boy to analyze the war between the two countries?" Sheffield had already stood up as he spoke, not taking this place seriously at all, and said, "That's all I know about the war, the Lone Star Republic is really a good place, and when the war is over, I will go there and build a plantation!" ”

Sheffield kept saying that he was a minor, and the next second he was not humble enough to say that he was going to establish a plantation, and in the end he was still confident in the prospect of victory in the war. And the attitude of not having any extra explanations made the Taylor brothers not know what to say, and they had a feeling of believing it or not.

"Wait!" John Taylor stopped Sheffield, looked at him very seriously and said, "Before today, I always thought that Annabelle was the child who gave me the most headache, but I didn't expect to meet another one today, it's better not to be so confident at a young age!" ”

Maybe John Taylor wanted to educate him, but that education was automatically blocked. Sheffield has already felt his clear destiny, maybe the future Confederate States of America still need him to establish, and the people of the South still need him to save, how can a local native have the opportunity to educate him?

"We are better than others, that's why we have this self-confidence!" Sheffield glanced at Annabelle vaguely, obviously we include Annabelle, this look was hidden from John Taylor, but was looked at by Wilson Taylor, who was facing them, and his face was instantly very exciting.

Taking out his pocket watch and glancing at the time, Sheffield said with an apologetic look, "I'm very sorry, Uncle Wilson and Uncle John, I'm really busy today and I'm renovating the plantation!" By the way, slavery is also preserved in Brazil, and I would like to know where the slaves in Brazil are cheaper than our slaves? I really want to go back early, you know the plantation is not close to New Orleans, it is not easy for me to get out, and the railroad is not developed is really inconvenient......"

"Let Annabelle send you!" Wilson Taylor didn't force Sheffield to stay, but got into thought.

Sheffield walked out of the Taylor brothers' study and breathed a sigh of relief, and overall the outfit was very successful.

"It's profitable to build a railroad, and you can connect plantations all over the state, and I believe that the profit is not small!" Annabelle, who had come out to see him off, said as she walked, "But it is still a bit naïve to transport slaves from Brazil, unless my father sends someone to arrest them directly, it is not worth it just to make the difference!" ”

Sheffield had to admit that he could just pretend to be forced! The person who is really not pretending is Annabelle, he just mentioned it, and the girl next to him began to analyze what can be done and what is not profitable!
