Chapter 501, Attention

Seeing Donald get into the car and go away, Dena sighed softly and lowered the curtains.

"Is it your brother?" A voice asked.

"yes, he's in charge of the arms trade in the family now." Dena sighed slowly, and continued, "I mentioned to you before that my uncle had a basic foresight of the situation in the world a long time ago. He decided that a world war was inevitable and that it would inevitably be fought between Germany and Great Britain. He believed that this would give American capitalists, especially those like him, who had been prepared for a long time, a great opportunity for development. Even before Donald and I were born, he was preparing for it. Now, Germany has really begun to develop its navy on a large scale, and it seems that a world war may not be far off. ”

"Speaking of which, both Mr. Marx and Mr. Engels mentioned your uncle to my father." The young man laughed, "They all say that Mr. Scrooge 61 MacDonald is the master of the capitalists. It seems that their assessment is very accurate. ”

"World war is inevitable, it is predestined by the capitalist mode of production. But isn't this also a good opportunity for a proletarian revolution? "The scale of this war will be far greater than the average person thinks, because the purpose of the war is to destroy one country, and all the supplies of a capitalist power, so as to temporarily free up markets for others." And to completely destroy a country's supply, without killing or injuring millions of people, I am afraid it is impossible to do it. By the time the war is over, the bourgeoisie of all countries will be exhausted in this war. This gives the proletarian revolution a very rare opportunity.

It's just that, Karl, to be honest, I don't think the Social Democrats are ready for this at all. Not to mention the preparation in action, not even in thought. Of course, as my uncle said, 'the root cause of the lack of preparation in action is the lack of preparation in the mind, and the reason for the lack of preparation in the mind is most of the time because of cowardice, because you don't have the courage to open your eyes to the world, so you have luck, just like an ostrich, you stick your head in the sand, and you deceive yourself that the lion doesn't exist." A true warrior must dare to face the bleak life and dare to face the dripping blood. Such a person can truly recognize the world and be prepared. And now there are literally too many ostriches in the Social Democracy. I have no objection to the means of legitimate struggle, such as the parliamentary struggle – any means, as long as they are conducive to our ends, can be used. But I suspect that some people are so keen on these things because they are timid, because they are afraid of the price of violent revolution. However, on the most fundamental issues, when was there a possibility of compromise? In many cases, compromise is like borrowing from a loan shark, where you can pay a little less in the present, but you will lose more in the future. So, as my uncle said, most of the time, it's better to fight to the death than to compromise on key issues.

And what about now? A whole bunch of guys really believe that a class can be overthrown peacefully. I don't even dare to think about violent fighting. How can such a contingent, a contingent that is always in the mood for compromise, lead the revolution? ”

"Haha, Dena, you're still that sharp. It's like a glittering scalpel. The young man smiled, "But what you said does make sense, as you said before, maybe you can compromise at a moment's notice, but the only way is that there is no room for any compromise." Recently, I have been thinking about whether it is possible to gather those comrades who share our views in the party and form a small organization within the party. What do you think? ”

"Carl, you still have illusions about those parliamentarians." Dena couldn't help but laugh, half sarcastic, half appreciative.

"Unite the people who can be united, that's what you said." Carl 61 Lee Poker Nesi also laughed.

……

"I'm sure someone was watching me at the time and he recognized me. But I didn't feel in danger. Donald said, "Calvin, do you remember Miss Dena?" I suspect that the person that day was Sister Dena. ”

"Young master, do you mean ......" Calvin didn't dare to continue, this kind of wealthy family affairs, as a secretary, it is better for him to talk less.

"Calvin, don't tell anyone about this." Donald is colorful.

"Young master, I understand."

"I'm going back to the U.S. in a few days. The tickets are already booked, and I'm going to leave when the time comes. Donald said. Of course, he can also find an excuse to stay. But that is bound to attract the attention of others, especially that little John Morgan. This kind of thing is really seen by others, and it is probably not a good thing for the family or for Sister Dena.

"I'll leave you behind and take care of the finishing touches." Donald said, and then he gave Calvin another deep look.

"Young master, are you asking me to stay here and see if I can find Miss?" Calvin asked quietly.

"If you think so, then it's better to go back with me." Donald immediately lowered his face and scolded in a low voice.

"Yes, young master, I was wrong." Calvin immediately understood that he was in Germany, and he was afraid that someone would be watching his every move, so he went to find Miss at this time, and that was not ......

"If only you understood." Donald said, "Do you know now what I'm leaving you here for?" ”

"Young Master, are you worried that Miss may have something to ask us for?" Calvin said uncertainly.

"You're smart this time." Donald laughed, "Remember, you don't have to do anything, just don't do it." If Sister Dena really wants to find you, she can naturally have a way. If she doesn't want to be found by you, you can find her too? ”

"I see." Calvin said.

"If Sister Dena finds you and says something, you send it back immediately with the highest password. If she asks anything from you, you will do as she says without affecting the family. Donald finally confessed.

……

Two days later, the Germans officially announced the results of the bidding, and the Morgan-MacDonald shipyard won both designs under a contract between the two ships, the first of which was to be built at the Morgan-MacDonald shipyard in the United States, while the last four were to be built by the Germania shipyard and the Volken shipyard in Stettin. The price involved in the contract was essentially the same as that quoted by Morgan MacDonald Shipyard.

At the same time, both shipyards have also announced a package of cooperation agreements with Morgan MacDonald Shipyard. This includes both technology transfer and financing cooperation. (You can't let Morgan have nothing to do.)

At the same time, Germany's largest arms conglomerate, Krupp, has also reached a package of technical cooperation agreements with the largest US arms company, the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company. At the time of signing, the representatives of the two sides said that the achievement of this strong alliance will not only help enhance the competitiveness of the company, create more wealth to give back to the society, but also make greater contributions to the peace and security of the world.

……

"Damn the Yankees! They're all the-stirring sticks of this world! As long as there is an interest somewhere, they will pounce like flies, like ...... Damn, I can't even figure out what to say about these damn guys. In short, where there is trouble, there are Yankees! In 1812, we should have gritted our teeth and wiped out these guys once and for all! ”

Although the Marquis of Salisbury gritted his teeth, he also understood that in 1812, Britain had absolutely no spare strength to really set foot on the United States, and at that time, His Majesty Emperor Napoleon I was still alive and kicking on the European continent. At this time, how could Britain go all out to destroy the United States?

The Marquess of Salisbury has been careful to over the years. With the policy of "glorious isolation", it was very happy to watch the European continent split into two blocs, the German-Austrian-Italian alliance and the Franco-Russian entente. Play the balance of power on the mainland directly. Unexpectedly, another-stirring stick jumped out from behind the-stirring stick. The damned Yankees first supplied the Boers with weapons, and now they went even further than instigating Germany to challenge British sea power.

The Marquis of Salisbury knew that the Yankees were playing the same tricks as himself. More importantly, the reason why they dare to do this is precisely because they see that Britain is now being dragged down by various things. Therefore, it became necessary to quickly solve the troubles of the Boers.

In addition, in order to cope with the German shipbuilding plan, it was necessary to further strengthen the navy. However, damn the Yankees, I really didn't expect their technology to have advanced to such a point.

The 13-inch guns of the British had just been completed, and the Royal Navy was preparing for the battleship that would correspond to Germany's new shipbuilding program in the future. However, the Americans suddenly threw out 13.5-inch guns at this time, didn't this make the artillery of the British Empire lag behind before it was loaded on the warship? How can such a thing be tolerated? Therefore, the entire plan of the battleship had to be revised, and moreover, the artillery had to be updated.

In fact, because the British also did not have the self-tightening technology, although they used the same 12-inch guns as the Americans before, to be honest, the British 12-inch guns were still slightly lower than the American guns in terms of performance. Now the Yankees have provided the Germans with 13.5-inch cannons, so if the British continue to use 13-inch cannons, it will be simply looking for death. So the artillery plan also had to change. The Admiralty has just issued a new request, and they say that they need a 14-inch or even 15-inch gun.
