Just after Spain's new government decided to send 25,000 troops to Cuba to suppress the rebellion, Scrooge's MacDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company welcomed two customers. The arrival of these two customers was only two hours apart, but the treatment they received was completely different.

The first of these guests was a representative of "Cuba Libre", who expressed to McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company his intention to buy a batch of drugs including Bolnar, sulfonamides, heroin, aspirin, etc., but regrettably, he lacked cash. Well, in his hands, there is only white sugar. Of course, if the sugar is in New York, that's fine, because the price of sugar is rising all over the world. It's just that the damn sugar is still in Cuba, and it's a problem to get it out.

"There's no problem with that." "We can ship them out of Cuba and send them to Florida without any problem, but if we want to get to New York, our ship is too small," said the Cuban man, Garipat. ”

"Won't the Spaniards block you?" Mr. Red, who was dealing with him on behalf of the MacDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company, asked, "As far as I know, you have small fishing boats that are very slow, and you can't get away with the Spanish warships. ”

"Ah, don't worry, at least until the Spanish send more troops to arrive, their current fleet in Cuba won't really come out to carry out the blockade mission." Gary Parter laughed, "If they're looking for trouble for us at sea, we'll be looking for trouble for them on the ground." Seeing that Red didn't seem to understand, he went on to explain, "Now the Spaniards on the island know that they don't have the strength to deal with us until their reinforcements arrive. It was clear to them that when their reinforcements arrived, their mission was accomplished, and until then, the calmer Cuba appeared to be, the better they had done. The better the evaluation you get, the more promising you will be when you return to Spain in the future. So, they're trying to make peace with us right now, trying to hold us back. At this time, as long as we do not take the initiative to attack them, they will definitely not dare to intercept our ships. Besides, it's our people who deliver the goods, so what do you have to worry about? ”

"So how much sugar do you have, and how many medicines are you going to buy?"

This problem hits Garipat's weakness, they have a lot of sugar in their hands, but they need to sell more things. Well, in addition to medicines, they also need weapons, they also need training, and a lot of money to spend money, and this little bit of sugar is not enough at all.

"If you guys have a problem with financing, you can go to McDonald Ventures and talk to them." Red said.

A few days later, "Cuba for Liberty" was granted a series of rights, including the right to use the port, and the right to open mines in the province of Holguín (where there is a world-class nickel mine. Nickel is extremely important for the steel industry, which can improve the mechanical properties of steel, increase the strength, toughness, heat resistance of steel, increase the corrosion resistance, acid resistance and magnetic permeability of steel. Nickel also refines grains, improves hardenability and increases the hardness of steel. In addition, nickel has the function of preventing copper from harmful effects on the metal surface in the thermal processing of steel. It can be said that without nickel, there is no high-quality steel. In later generations, after the rabbit and the woolly bear broke up, the woolly bear did not use the rabbit nickel, so that the rabbit could not even produce the armor steel for the tank for a while, and then could only grit his teeth and use rare earths to replace nickel to make armor steel. Nima's soul is faint, as long as this nickel mine is controlled with rare earths, the cost and quality of MacDonald's steel in the future will not be comparable to other countries! As collateral, he borrowed a huge sum of nearly a million dollars from McDonald Ventures, which, of course, was transferred directly to the accounts of McDonald's Infantry Weapons Company and MacDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company without even being withdrawn from McDonald Ventures.

Unlike the Cubans, the Spaniards, who are not completely out of money in their pockets, have eaten a closed door, and when it comes to buying heroin, sulfonamides, aspirin, and the like, McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company also said that it is no problem, but when they mention that they want to buy large quantities of Diana pills, MacDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical told them that because there are too many orders and production is saturated, they have not been able to provide such a quantity of Diana pills to the Spaniards recently.

However, after politely rejecting the Spaniards on such grounds, the New York Daily Times, which was controlled by Scrooch, published an article titled "911 in Cuba: Rebellion or Cry of Despair?" blatantly declared that this was not a rebellion, but a desperate revolt against tyranny.

The demands of these rebels are nothing more than the following:

They hope that the government that governs them will be voted for by them, not randomly sent by someone thousands of miles away who doesn't even know what Cuba is like. Isn't that a very valid reason?

They hope that the tax revenues collected from their labor will be used (or at least some of them to) improve conditions in Cuba and be used to serve those who created it, rather than being loaded onto ships and transported thousands of miles away for squandering by groups of Cubans who do not even know what they look like. Isn't that a matter of course?

They hope that the evil slavery system can be abolished, so that everyone can enjoy God's inalienable freedom. Instead of being artificially divided into three, six, nine, and so on because of race, origin, etc., as is the case now, they are deprived of their freedom and become slaves. Isn't it God's will to abolish all evil slavery?

They hoped that, when they stayed in their own homes, they would be as safe as a king in his own castle, that his safety and dignity should not be threatened in any way, and that no one would be able to infringe upon his freedom and dignity without any evidence and without the necessary legal permissions. Instead of being like now, the police could arbitrarily arrest a Cuban just because he didn't like him; Soldiers are free to enter Cuban homes and take their belongings just because they want to. Isn't that reasonable?

A Cuban friend of mine told us that they had not failed to petition the Spaniards in a peaceful way, and that even when General Bolívar's revolution swept across Latin America, the peace-loving Cuban people had illusions that the Spaniards would listen to them.

Yet what they awaited was repeated deception and repression. When General Bolívar was victorious, the Spaniards also made sacred promises to the Cuban people, and once the danger had passed, they threw them aside and even intensified their oppression of the Cuban people. Today, the Cuban people have resisted so much that they are nothing more than a cry of despair. Compared to Spain, Cuba is too weak. Now, the Spanish colonial authorities have begun to tell them again that they want to negotiate with them and are willing to give them some freedom. But he was worried that the Spaniards were now saying that it was another deception, and that what awaited them would be another massacre.

Such fears were not unfounded, and just a few days after the incident broke out, representatives of the Spanish government approached McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company and demanded a large order for military pills. The malice contained in this procurement is believed to be felt by everyone......

McDonald Chemical and the company turned down the door-to-door business. And it is said that the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company likewise refused the order of the Spaniards. Here, I would like to pay tribute to both companies. Because they have made a choice between money and conscience that we Americans will be proud of.

However, there are all indications that the Spanish repression of the Cuban people is already on the line. It is impossible to stop them from the failure of these two procurements, and to stop them, the whole of America, the whole civilized world, must unite and say no to the Spanish colonizers with one voice!

Cuba is a close neighbor of the United States, and the demands of the Cuban people today are fundamentally indistinguishable from those of our forefathers at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia many years ago. Are we going to stand idly by as a humanitarian catastrophe that tramples on human rights unfolds around us?

Some people may say that the Cuban affair is not within the sovereignty of the United States, and that it is not our business. But let's not forget that we also received selfless help back then. Can we sit idly by and watch now at the prospect of a gross violation of the most sacred of human rights? Indeed, the sovereignty of every State is inviolable, as it derives from the mandate of all its nationals. But there is one power, higher than the power of the state, and that is human rights guaranteed by the Most High God! When God-given human rights are brutally trampled on, sovereignty should first hide aside, because human rights are above sovereignty! America is America for Americans! ”

Beginning with this article, both the Scrooge and Morgan newspapers reported on the Cuban turmoil at full speed, and the direction of these newspapers was almost overwhelmingly inclined to Cuba. In such an atmosphere, the United States Congress has even put forward a proposal calling on the Government to pay attention to the situation in Cuba and to prevent a possible humanitarian catastrophe as much as possible.

"Scrooge, are we really not trading with the Spaniards? That would have been a lot less money. Dorothea frowned, looking distressed.

"Of course, but in fact we don't make much money, like the drugs, right? The Prussians had just ordered another batch from us, well, as far as I could seek, it was actually bought for the Spaniards. It's pretty much the same with guns and everything. Moreover, the Prussian government's hand to Spain would surely drive the French mad, which would greatly serve our ultimate goal. ”
