Charles Francis Adams returned to Houston for a meeting of the Yankees' old executives.

As Charles expected, in a loose federal government like Young's elder, everyone in the tailwind bureau can eat and drink spicy food together, and once it comes to the headwind bureau, no one will want to bleed out the flesh to turn the tide of the war.

Coincidentally, since the independence of the thirteen states, the United States has not faced a single headwind.

This is why the United States has been able to develop smoothly to this day, without any harm caused by the lax power of the government.

At the meeting, all parties complained to each other and complained about why each other imported a large number of HERO company's products and raised tigers.

complained about why the other party smuggled privately after the trade ban.

Blaming the other party for why they speculated on agricultural products caused the economy to fall into an even greater collapse.

Charles still remembers the joy between the major consortium families when the United States was singing and winning four major regions in a row.

It's like yesterday's fantasy.

Finally, it was Charles' turn to speak.

Charles stepped onto the podium with a thick pile of materials in hand.

With a heavy face, he said to the old Yankee executives:

"Guys, do you know what I saw in Texas?"

"A place where the living environment of employees is far more miserable than ours in the Great Lakes region,"

"A place where there are no rich people at all, and the whole region is full of poor people,"

"A place devoid of democracy and freedom."

"But such a place has become the only region that continues to develop in the midst of the economic crisis."

"Guess what's Tom Smith's secret?"

"It's infrastructure."

The elder Yankee in the audience was still indifferent to what Charles said, and they also knew that Tom relied on infrastructure to boost domestic demand, so that Texas and Mexico could maintain that deformed economy.

The deformed economy with the largest gap between rich and poor in the world.

The rich take all, the poor are cattle and horses, and there is no possibility of promotion.

However, the infrastructure law does not apply to the old Yankee area.

Because the government in the old Yankie area is more loose, the infrastructure laid out does not guarantee that it will be controlled by the old Yankee.

And the current infrastructure of the United States is also trains and railroads.

The railroad has been almost laid in the old Yankee area.

Large-scale road paving like Tom's behavior made Yankee feel that it was useless work.

Highway? How can there be so many horse-drawn carriages running on the road?

For Yang Jilao, the laying of new infrastructure is to lay railways, and too many railways in the eyes of Yang Jilao are more than worth the losses, and there is no benefit at all.

If you want Yang Jilao to rely on laying infrastructure to stimulate domestic demand, you have to wait until a new means of transportation appears.

Let the railways not be so important, and let the consortia lay new infrastructure profitable

But Charles's next words were refreshing to the Yankee elders.

"Gentlemen, what is the essence of infrastructure?"

"It's production, it's what makes the country work,"

"It's about getting employees involved in production, not sitting at home and waiting to die."

"I've investigated Texas, and I've had a few days of unemployment in Texas,"

"And Tom Smith has actually provided food for all unemployed employees for free in the past few days."

"You say, is this like what Tom Smith did?"

It's true that the Yankee elders hadn't paid attention to this before,

Why does Tom Smith support these employees for free?

After seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, Charles put forward his final opinion:

"That is, in Tom Smith's eyes, people are valuable when they live."

"As long as an employee lives in the Texas area, whether he goes to work in a cannery, or goes to infrastructure to build roads or railroads,"

"He lives, he has to produce, he has to contribute to Tom Smith."

"On the other hand, as soon as the economy goes up, we start to fire employees, stop production, and try to stop losses."

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"But have we ever thought that as long as these employees live in the Great Lakes industrial area, whether they are unemployed and waiting to die on the streets?"

"Or if he is a sweat worker in the factory, he has to live for a day."

The Yankee elders know these things, but they just don't want to vomit blood and spit out profits to support unemployed employees like Tom Smith.

Because Elder Yankee is not as clear as Tom Smith is that these employees will definitely go to work in their factories after surviving the wave of unemployment.

Who knows if they'll find another job?

Charles's speech still didn't impress the Yankee elders, who would rather just consume it than unite as one.

Yang Ji Lao understands the truth, they are not stupid.

But if you really want them to contribute money and efforts, isn't that a fool of them?

Charles also understands that he has to show real benefits in order to impress these "compatriots".

Before impressing compatriots, we must strangle their illusions.

Charles handed over a thick pile of information in his hand.

"Look, this is Tom's family history and the current state of Texas."

"Do you really think that Tom Smith will join us in the big plan, not replace us and carry out the big plan?"

"Although I don't yet know how Tom Smith will avoid the involvement of the European elders in the center of his power after the marriage."

"But judging from the current intelligence, Tom Smith will never tolerate any other force touching his power."

"Look at the major powers of Texas in the past."

"The small factory owners all became employees, and the farmers were forcefully bought by Tom Smith after going bankrupt, and the former governor, who symbolized the power of the old Texas government, was ruthlessly cut off by Tom Smith."

"Even if he wants to join Tom Smith's forces, Tom Smith must eat and wipe the other party clean before allowing the other party to live."

"If they survive, they will have to enter the Smith factory and do heavy physical labor that is no different from other mud legs."

"Tom Smith, he just needs absolute control of one person, and absolute dictatorship."

The big plan that Charles is talking about is the tacit plan of the old Yankee executives - to make the United States the number one power in the world, and let the May Citi replace the London dialect and become the master of the world.

And Tom Smith's actions show that it is impossible for Tom to join and lead Elder Yankee.

Tom Smith will only replace Youngkee Sr.

And if Tom Smith replaces Youngster one day in the future, Youngster will not be allowed to join the new interest system.

Charles, after breaking the illusions of the Yankee elders, came up with another benefit.

The carrot stick is down together, and Charles wants to take advantage of the fact that the Yankee elders still have the capital to fight Tom, and pull all the Yankee elders to fight Tom to the death.

Let the Yanji elders go to work in the factory, it is better to let Yanji die.
