Ever since he joined the Munitions Production Committee, John has been well aware that he will not be able to escape the future world war. No matter what capacity he will participate in at www.biquge.info that time, he can't get involved anyway. As the work on the side of the Munitions Production Committee became more and more heavy, John had to think carefully about the management of FedEx in wartime.

When World War I broke out, he certainly didn't have that much energy to take care of his personal business. Hughes Aircraft Company is good to say, and little Tom is helping him keep an eye on it. Even if Tom Jr. really joined the army as he did in history, wouldn't there still be Hughes? Although this brother is sometimes unreliable, John believes that he will never cheat himself.

The trouble is FedEx. Although Walter's old subordinates are running the company well, the reform of the management system of McNamara and other newcomers is also progressing smoothly. But this is a new company after all, and John, the chairman, always shows up, and it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. Moreover, after the United States enters the war, many employees of the company will definitely be conscripted, and how to carry out domestic business will also be a big problem at that time.

In such a situation, John had to arrange for someone in the company whom he trusted and who had enough weight to oversee the company's operations on his behalf. Originally, cousin Harold was the best candidate. Even John himself was cultivated by him, and he didn't have to worry about serving at his age, so it was a piece of cake for John to stabilize FedEx.

But now, something is going wrong within the New York Central Railroad. Harold had already reacted that the Pennsylvania Railroad stock that Henry Ford had sold him was a poison pill. But it was too late, and the Morgan tentacles had already reached into the board of directors of the New York Central Railroad. Harold was struggling to deal with the Morgan infiltration and had no energy to help John take care of FedEx.

At this point, where does John go to find a replacement for Harold? John thought about this for a long time and finally decided to let Adele give it a try. Anyway, Adele is also the third largest shareholder of FedEx (John transferred nearly half of his company's shares to Adele in order to break through state barriers with the New York Central Railroad), although she has never been involved in the company's operations.

"Ella asleep?" Seeing his wife come out of the back room, John asked.

"I'm asleep, but my face is a little hot, so I won't really catch a cold." The baby daughter is Adele's heart, and a little discomfort makes her nervous.

"It should be blown in the afternoon, so it's good to cover her with more quilts and sweat a little at night." John poured himself and Adele a cup of coffee and motioned for his wife to sit down.

"I don't want it, I still drink coffee so late, and I don't sleep at night." Adele pushed the cup aside in disgust. However, seeing her husband's somewhat serious expression, she swallowed the next words. Staring at her husband's brow for a while, she asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”

John took a sip of coffee, sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke: "Ella will be four years old after the New Year, is it time to send her to kindergarten?" ”

"Why!" Adele blew up all at once, and Ella had never left her since she was born. "Why send it to kindergarten, wouldn't it be nice to invite the teacher to your home." Indeed, children from families like John and others generally receive elite education at home before going to school, and few are sent to kindergarten.

"But she can't stay at home all the time, and she needs to have more contact with her peers." John justified his opinion, "You see how happy she was with her friends yesterday. ”

However, this reason obviously did not convince Adele, she glared at her husband, and looked like you would look good if you didn't say why. Sure enough, the person who is a mother is different, how gentle and intellectual a person used to be, once the child is involved, he immediately becomes a tigress who protects the cubs.

John touched his nose in embarrassment, and had to explain honestly: "You also know that the situation is different now. Europe is a powder keg that could explode at any moment. I'm very busy right now on Washington's side, and even busier if war breaks out. You are the person I trust the most, and I need you to help me. ”

"Really, are you saying that we and the Germans will fight like last time?" Subconsciously, Adele still thinks of herself as French. She rubbed her hands a little anxiously, "No, Dad is still in Leon, I have to let him come back quickly." ”

John couldn't help but hold his head with both hands, why couldn't Adele grasp the point of his words. Father-in-law Degano is such a shrewd person, and he still needs her to worry about it. John was sure that as soon as there was a stir in Europe, Degano would immediately run back to the United States.

"Don't be nervous, you won't be able to fight this year." John finally had to speak to reassure his wife, otherwise there would have been no way to continue the conversation tonight

"I'll call my dad when I get back and ask him to come back before Christmas anyway." Out of her long-standing trust in her husband, Adele instinctively believed John's judgment of the situation in Europe. "It's terrible, it's only been too long since the last war."

"This time the situation may be worse than the last time, so you have to be mentally prepared, I may not be able to take care of the affairs at home at that time." John tried to bring the conversation back again.

Adele misunderstood her husband's meaning again, and she nervously grabbed John's hand: "The United States will also go to war?" My God! Will you go to war? "Adele has a cousin who died in the last world war, it seems to have been at the Battle of Verdun.

"Don't be nervous, dear." John found that his words were not clear just now, which frightened Adele's face white, and quickly patted his wife's little hand and comforted her: "Even if the United States enters the war, I will not go to the front." Don't worry, I'm so old, and there is no shortage of me as an old man on the battlefield. What I just meant was that the work of the Military Production Committee will be busier. ”

"That's good! I have the business at home, you can rest assured that you can work. Adele breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her husband didn't go to the battlefield, she should be busy. For more than a year, she has also gotten used to it.

Unbeknownst to Adele, John quietly changed his mind. He only said that he would not go to the front, not that he would not go to war. John also didn't know if he would be drafted into the army. However, even if he joins the army, he probably won't be sent to the front line, so there is no need to say it now to make his wife scared.

Anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let's talk about it then. If John really received a notice to enlist, Adele wouldn't have been able to stop him. Now let's think about how to move my wife to help in the company. The communication between the two always went wrong tonight, and John wondered if he had communicated too little with his wife during this time, why was his thinking always not on the same frequency band.
