"Mr. Morgan, our people have got a piece of information. Scrooge is going long gold. "Igor, the head of Morgan's business intelligence department, came to report to Morgan.

"Scrooge is long gold?" Morgan was taken aback, because of the recent news of British victories, most people had the expectation that the war would end soon. And this will also mean a recovery in the supply of gold. When the total supply of gold suddenly falls, the purchasing power of the unit of gold will naturally increase, and the ratio of other commodities to gold will decrease. Conversely, if the supply of gold is expected to recover soon, then its purchasing power will naturally fall to normal levels. Since the British army is winning, it means that the supply of gold will soon be normal, and the purchasing power of gold will naturally decrease. And Scrooge is bullish on gold at this time, that is, he believes that the purchasing power of gold will continue to rise, which is a bit unusual.

Of course, Morgan knows that in the futures market, when most people are unanimously optimistic about something and invest in it, the majority of the opportunity to make money has passed, and most of those sad people are actually just pick-up heroes. Now, for example, when the Boers failed to take Cape Town in one fell swoop, well-informed people like Morgan had already decided that the balance of victory would tip in favor of the British. has already begun to lay out for this, and the development of the later battle situation has also confirmed their expectations and made them a lot of money.

Now although continue to be bearish on gold, under normal circumstances, there is not much money that can be made, but this is far from being able to reverse, when bullish on gold, not to mention anything else, Morgan himself, and Rothschild's gang of Jews have not had time to completely throw out the chips, the market trend continues to develop in the direction of bearish gold, and those predators who have already got enough chips are also fueling this trend, and by the way, taking this opportunity, Cash in your chips into tangible gains. Only after these predators have completed the process of pulling up and shipping will it be the time for the normal market to reverse. And Scrooge started to do more at this time, isn't it too early?

Generally speaking, although Morgan has actually admitted that he is not as perverted as Scrooge in most aspects, but, at least in the financial aspect, Morgan feels that he is still significantly better than Scrooge. But after Scrooge proposed and led the creation of the Federal Reserve, Morgan felt that his belief was shaken by stern. Now Morgan feels that Scrooge is only a little worse than himself when it comes to financial strategy. It's just that Scrooge has more money, so he can spend much more money on intelligence collection, information research, and other places like this. So all in all, his ability to make strategic judgments is already a little bit better than himself. Of course, this is not because of individual ability, but because Scrooge has a group of god teammates. However, Morgan feels that when it comes to specific financial operations, Scrooge should still not be able to compare with himself, after all, the market is changing rapidly, and Scrooge's god teammates may not have time to analyze it in detail. More often than not, it depends on the ability of the decider himself. Still, when Scrooge made a decision that was inconsistent with Morgan's judgment, Morgan felt particularly uneasy.

"Is the message exact?" Morgan asked.

"It should be very certain. Our people have been paying attention to the movement of funds in the market, and they should not be mistaken. Igor replied.

"Ah, that's right." Morgan thought about it, and after about a minute, Morgan made a decision: "We're going to speed up the shipment, and this time we trust Scrooge's judgment." ”

Later in the day, Morgan explained his approach to his allies this way:

"I know that faster shipments mean less profit. But I got the exact intel, and Scrooge had already started to do more. I think what this means, everyone should understand in their hearts. Scrooge rarely did anything too risky in the financial markets. Moreover, the turmoil in the gold market basically stems from the war situation in South Africa, where Scrooge has been deployed for a long time, and now more than half of the weapons in the hands of the South African army are derived from MacDonald. And, I believe, their mercenaries must also be on the battlefield. So, he must know a lot of things that we don't know about how this war will develop. If he makes such a move now, I think that maybe it won't be long before the whole situation of the war will take a new turn, and the British army may be frustrated on the battlefield. ”

"But the Rothschilds guys are still ...... They also have a lot of influence in the British army, and they should know a lot of things. "Someone said.

"Ah, that's it." Morgan smiled, "It depends on whether you believe in Rothschild or Scrooge more in your judgment of war." ”

It's really not easy to decide, the Rothschild guys don't make war money once or twice, and in general, to say that they are warmongers is definitely not a slander. But the problem is that Scrooge MacDonald is also a monster who is good at making war money, a warmonger, and moreover, an elite of warmongers. As Scrooge had proudly proclaimed, he had never made any crucial mistake in judging the course of the war. In contrast, the Rothschilds made a lot of mistakes, even decisive mistakes, when investing in the war. For example, the Rothschilds, in their assessment of the prospects for a civil war in the United States, misjudged that the United States was about to break up, and therefore made the wrong decision to support the South and withdraw funds from the North. As a result, their once significant influence in the New World was swept away, and until now, their influence in North America has not been effectively restored. If it weren't for their decision, it would be a big question whether Morgan and Scrooge would be in the same position they have today in today's North America.

Considering these, everyone generally still thinks that Scrooge should be more reliable in judging the development of this war. As a result, Morgan's approach has been understood by everyone. However, considering that they did not have real first-hand intelligence information to judge whether the British army might have suffered a setback in the recent past, Morgan also suggested that the entire consortium should not join Scrooge's operation as a whole, and for the time being, take a wait-and-see attitude. Of course, individual members who are particularly confident in Scrooge can also deal with it on their own.

Only three days after such a decision was made, news came from South Africa that the British 10th Infantry Regiment was besieged and in danger......

……

Taking advantage of the weakness of the British army's overly dispersed forces, while relying on the advantage of transporting troops by rail (the railway in the Boer-controlled area was certainly not demolished), coupled with the fact that the Boers had a large number of horses, the Boer infantry was basically mounted infantry, which also made the Boers much faster than the British in concentrating their forces. As a result, Churchill woke up from a slumber to find himself, Commander Austin, and nearly a thousand other soldiers surrounded by the Boers.

At first, Commander Austin was quite calm, because although the Boers were numerous, they were only native. Fighting head-on, would the army of the British Empire still be afraid of the natives? And although I was in a hurry a few days ago, the basic elements of the British Army were still very good, and the fortifications when I camped did not cut corners. Plus on the railroad that the Boers demolished today, there are still a large number of sleepers. So to be honest, the British fortifications were built even stronger than in previous days. Therefore, even after learning that the Boer army that surrounded him exceeded four thousand men, the commander of Austin was still not too worried. He felt that with these fortifications, he would be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived. So, when the Boer envoy came to him, he and his soldiers immediately laid down their arms and surrendered, and said that they would follow the Chinese army. Flourishing. When the Don proclamation assured them of the safety of their persons and property, Commander Austin contemptuously stated that if the Boers were willing to surrender to them immediately and unconditionally, he would also be willing to comply with the Chinese Mission. Flourishing. Don declare that they should be treated humanely.

However, this confidence was suddenly reduced to ashes with the first round of shelling by the Boers. The Boer shells exploded violently after the Boer shells landed on the ground, easily blowing up deep craters in the ground. The soldiers and officers were huddled in the trenches, covering their ears and opening their mouths wide at the same time, which was told in the military code of conduct, that this would help protect their ears.

Judging from the shock of the explosion, and the size of the craters on the ground, Austin could tell almost immediately that the cannons that were firing at them would never be less than six inches in caliber. And the fortifications built by his soldiers were just ordinary field fortifications, which simply could not withstand the attack of artillery of such caliber.

And the density of the fire also indicates that the Boers also had no less artillery in their hands, at least not less than ten.

"Damn Boers!" Austin cursed. The pride of the British Empire and being an aristocrat made him reluctant to admit it, but he already had a faint feeling that the army in his hands was afraid that it was time for rescue to come. R1058
