Act 152 Encounter with Abraham

The climate in London is not very pleasant.

But in this unpleasant climate, millions of people live.

The teenager, who was still a child but was no longer short, walked in the direction of the teahouse after muttering.

Compared to the popular cafés in New York, tea houses in London have a much longer history than coffee shops.

Of course, when the teahouse was first established, it was not for tea tasting, but just to allow water to enter when too many people lived together, resulting in a quarterly decline in water quality.

However, over time, this common habit has evolved into a culture.

Even, those big men have begun to taste tea drinks.

However, they mixed the milk into the tea, giving the tea drink a new flavor.

Although the young man had been in London for a few months, he still did not like to drink tea.

He pushed open the door of the teahouse, went to the table where the game was playing, and looked at the canvas on the table, which was indeed the board game he had ever seen - Monopoly.

The young man, now named Goofy, didn't open his mouth to say anything, just stood there, stared at it for a while, and then left.

He couldn't have stayed here for long, because he had something to do.

The old gentleman who saved him, even in the world's largest city, is still famous.

However, some people like his fame, and some people hate it.

Because, although he was also of aristocratic origin, and embraced the successful aristocracy of industrialization.

However, he placed too much emphasis on the rights and interests of ordinary workers.

In the eyes of the other industrial aristocrats, the old fellow had betrayed them.

After all, every time he fights for a worker, it means that as factory owners, they lose more rights.

After Goofy was rescued by him, he began to help him contact the workers.

Therefore, although he does not like the city of London, he sees the help that one worker after another has received, and he feels that his current life is okay.

Of course, during this period, he also saw the insatiable greed of those factory owners.

They demanded that the workers work sixteen hours a day, and they deducted the wages of the workers if they did not agree with them.

They try to cut down on workers' salaries, even if they don't survive at all.

For them, it seems that only money is real, and everything except money is illusory.

In contrast, he remembered the gentleman who was not much older than himself, and that gentleman was such a kind man.

Even the old gentleman now, when it comes to "Monopoly", which is gradually becoming popular, they all say that the author of this game must be a rational and ambitious person.

……

Henry DuPont completed the integration of DuPont almost at a flying speed.

In fact, DuPont is not the only plant that has been blown up.

It's just that other factories, compared to this core factory, can be ignored in terms of output and scale.

The reason why those small factories exist is only to experiment with new production processes.

Henry DuPont didn't know chemistry, but he knew management.

The explosion of the core factory led to the death of a large number of skilled workers.

At this time, if you want to resume production as soon as possible, the best way is to deploy manpower from the small factory and let them be responsible for resuming production.

The small factory that transferred manpower was renamed as a R&D laboratory by Henry at the first time.

In a sense, this is the second industrial chemistry lab to emerge in the United States.

The first industrial chemistry lab, of course, was Tom's Cabin.

As for the manager of DuPont Laboratories, it was a cousin of Henry's.

Although the cousin was as cowardly as his father, and watched outsiders steal the DuPont family's estate, he had a very good talent in chemistry.

Henry DuPont has reason to believe that with this brother in charge, DuPont will develop other chemical products that are ahead of similar products on the market.

Only by maintaining R&D and staying ahead can we continue to have the market.

Henry Dupont's West Point Military Academy, where he graduated, never looked at the immediate benefits.

As a result, Henry himself had a more long-term vision than the capitalists who only cared about short-term interests.

As for the current crisis in DuPont, Henry does not think that anyone else understands violence more than he does.

No matter how much engineering is taught, West Point is still essentially a military school.

On the one hand, he supervised the reconstruction of the core factory, and on the other hand, he still recruited veterans, intending to form an army with combat effectiveness with veterans as the core.

Despite Henry's maneuvers, from the outside, DuPont doesn't seem to want revenge.

The reason why they think so is because this time the revenge seems too late compared to the previous DuPont.

DuPont has always been a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, but this time DuPont seems to have stopped moving before it has even started.

Doug of New Haven also got out of the hospital bed.

Since this time, no matter where he goes, around him, he can always see several people who are far above the normal standard of height and weight, surrounding him.

These people may not actually have a high combat effectiveness, but Doug's expectations for them are simple, just hope that they can help him block bullets.

These guys who seem to want to burst their suits, although they are only useless, but the trend of hiring such style bodyguards has gradually become popular in New Haven.

Even, those who have wealth, even if they don't fear that they will be attacked, hire some bodyguards.

Because, for them, a bodyguard is not just a bodyguard, but also a status symbol.

It's like a carriage can have one horse, two horses, three horses......

It seems that the more people there are, the more powerful they are.

Doug seems to have accidentally made a slight change in the world.

When Derek led the men to blow up the Dupont factory, Tom was not idle.

He likes explosives, and since he got TNT and picric acid, it seems that he has found the most fun thing in his life.

His fondness for explosions far exceeds normal human perception.

He recently had a new idea, that is, whether he could let the explosives continue to explode, push himself into the distance, and then finally explode.

This is different from bullets and shells, which only explode once to push themselves out, if you let Doug describe it, Tom's thoughts at the moment are more like rockets.

That's right, it's rockets.

However, in this era when there is no over-the-horizon ability to lock on to the target, the power of the rocket will not be as great as imagined.

After all, missiles are only missiles if they can be guided accurately, right?

However, although the probability is not very high for the time being, Doug has no intention of stopping Tom.

Even if it is only a semi-finished product, it can still only be used within visual range, and this new type of weapon will also deter the enemy at a critical time.

Besides, it's two different things that this thing doesn't work well, as long as you can sell these things to people who need them, it will be a success for Doug.

Although there is no evidence that the DuPont explosion had anything to do with Doug, Winchester's civilian arms sales have been on the rise.

The speed of improvement is even faster than when I tried my best to hold the competition.

At the same time, in addition to the New Haven area, there are also many official violent groups that have begun to contact Winchester to buy weapons produced by Winchester Arms.

In that sense, DuPont has been a real success.

Doug didn't expect that bombing DuPont would have such benefits.

Of course, whenever someone asks about the DuPont explosion, whether it's Doug or Oliver, or Williams, or even any Claydonian, they deny that the DuPont explosion had anything to do with them.

Sometimes, however, the more you deny it, the more people will assume that you did it.

In addition to the increase in sales of the Winchester Arms Company, even the White Rock Security Company began to have business.

You know, not so long ago, almost everyone maintained a rejection attitude towards a company like Baishi Security that only provides some invisible and intangible services.

Whoever buys this kind of service is a fool.

However, who would have thought that it would not be long before someone began to recognize Shiraishi's services.

After Ram took on these tasks, he did not disappoint the people who bought the services.

Those who buy services, after mastering more tactics.

Ram's side is not without gains, and the whitestone company's combat effectiveness evaluation table for various regions and forces in the United States has gradually begun to be enriched.

That's right, the White Rock Security Company, while providing tactical guidance, is also gathering intelligence.

This kind of intelligence is then summarized and analyzed, so that first, we can have a rough estimate range for the improvement of combat effectiveness before training.

The second is that once the forces of the Claydon system confront these forces, they will always come out to understand the state of the other party, so that they will not suffer.

On Doug's carriage, a burly man came down first, followed by another big man, Doug was the third to come down, and after he got down, two more big men got out of the carriage after him.

At this time, his carriage was almost the largest of all the passenger carriages in New Haven.

After all, the pony cart can't send so many security personnel.

These of his bodyguards, with him, entered the city hall of New Haven.

This time he entered the City of New Haven, and when Doug first came in, his mindset had changed.

Of course, the attitude of the people in the city of New Haven to his arrival has also changed.

Mayor De Niro did not continue to deal with government affairs in his office this time, but came down early to greet and wait for Doug.

When he saw Doug, he took two steps forward to greet Doug, "You just happened to be here, there is a very good person, I was about to introduce you to him." ”

"Who?" asked Doug.

"A guy who wants to run for office. ”

"Running for governor?"

"It's not. ”

"That's?"

"Run for president!"

"Could it be...... Is it Lincoln?"

"You know him, too?"

"Understood. Doug replied.

Doug's knowledge of Lincoln is limited to textbook knowledge.

In the textbooks, Lincoln was an almost perfect man.

He was perfect not only because he led the Civil War and won it, but also because he emancipated black slaves, both nominally and in fact.

Of course, no matter how perfect a person is, there is something imperfect, and for Lincoln, that is - ugly.

When Doug met Lincoln, he even wondered if it was really a person.

The thick hair almost covered his entire face.

Plus the facial features that look a little strange.

It's not so much that it's a human with an IQ as it is an orangutan dressed in human clothes.

Of course, just as Doug didn't care about his saintly fame, he didn't care much about Lincoln's appearance.

"This is Doug Claydon, this is Abraham Lincoln. ”

Mayor De Niro gave Lincoln and Doug a simple introduction to each other.

Why is it so simple as just a name?

Because both people know something about each other.

Unlike Doug's understanding of Lincoln, Lincoln's understanding of Doug mainly comes from this era.

"I'm Lincoln, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Your Excellency's Monopoly is truly an excellent work. I've seen so much in it. It would not have been surprising to see these things. It's amazing how much gameplay can be played in front of these things.

This...... It's really!"

Lincoln didn't know what to use to describe his love of Monopoly.

The gameplay of the two "Monopoly" games, "Prosperity" and "Monopoly", has definitely brought a significant ideological impact on the top of American society.

Although, that's just the rules of the game.

However, they can see the rules of this society from the rules of this game.

And they are precisely the makers of the rules of American society, and they have seen that someone has put forward an almost ideal model, but the vast majority of them, from this model, feel not joy, but fear.

Yes, they're scared of Boom!

The essence of wealth, the essence of capital, is power.

If, everybody has relatively equal wealth, it means that their power is almost equal.

This means that those who are able to make the rules now, lose almost all their privileges.

The loss of these privileges means the loss of their lives for them.

Therefore, the world of "Monopoly" is, for them, the ideal world.

They crave Monopoly, and luckily, the Monopoly gameplay that is now popular on the market is the monopoly gameplay.

This cannot be said to be a sad thing, but it is a very happy thing for them.

After all, the game reflects reality.
