"Dena will be in charge of the research system in the future, Greystone will be in charge of the media and electrical, and Donald will be ready to accept steel and weapons in the future." "So," Scrooge said to his family, "That's why I sent Dena to study in Germany." In the future, if the war starts, Europe will be shattered, and Germany has a lot of very good scientists, and I hope that Dena will be able to learn from them about the trends of science. Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that she can get acquainted with them, and in the difficult years after the war, she can take the opportunity to poach these people. Greystone now had him as an intern observe the Associated Press editors' coverage of the Spanish genocide in Cuba, which was also an experience. As for Donald, the department he will be responsible for in the future has a fairly close relationship with the military and political circles. So, I think it's better for him to go to a military academy now. Although he will not really show himself in the army in the future. ”

"And Scrooge, which school are you going to take Donald to?" Carol asked.

"I think the Naval Academy is good." Catherine interjected, "The United States and Europe are so far apart that for a long time, our 6th Army will not have too many opportunities to show." On the other hand, the expansion of the navy is inevitable as our interests overseas increase. So, I think the navy is good. ”

"I think the 6th Army is better." Carroll said, "Catherine, the United States is different from the United Kingdom, where the navy is the foundation of the country, and the 6th Army is simply not worth mentioning compared to the navy. But in the United States, the 6th Army is the first contributor to the establishment of the country, although during the civil war, a large number of people in the 6th Army went to the south, but the heroes of the war are also the 6th Army, and in the end, those who can make a difference in the political arena are also the people of the 6th Army. Britain is a country with an aristocratic tradition, and the navy has high technical requirements, so it naturally seems to be a little more aristocratic. But America is different, there is no aristocracy in the United States, at least, on the surface. The American people are proud of it. Therefore, the American people are naturally more fond and supportive of the heroes of the 6th Army who look a little more old-fashioned. Therefore, the heroes from the 6th Army are more appealing in politics. So, I think it's better to go to West Point. ”

Dorothea also wanted to interject that Virginia Military Academy was better, but she didn't say anything after thinking about it. In the end, Scrooge made a version: "Let's do West Point." ”

"Greystone, you're a lucky one!" Pulitzer, an editor at the Associated Press, told Greystone, a newly assigned intern, "Look, you've had a good thing when you arrived. ”

"Ah, Mr. Pulitzer, what's the good thing?" Gladstone asked.

"The Spaniards had a collapse at a nickel mine in Cuba." Pulitzer replied.

If it weren't for the sudden expression of support for Spain by the British, perhaps a few years ago, the United States would have done something to the Spaniards. But even if the British suppressed the ambitions of the Americans with overwhelming naval power, because although they did fight, it is unlikely that the British will burn the White House again, as they did last time. However, it is possible to prevent the United States from annexing Cuba.

In the original history, at the end of the 20 th century and the beginning of the 21 st century, the United States, which had just won the Cold War, put forward such a criterion for its military strength: "Winning two wars on a global scale at the same time." However, after some years, the current national strength is unbearable, and finally has to give up this standard. However, in this era, although the British did not promote a strategy such as "winning two wars at the same time on a global scale", in fact, they had always pursued a similar, if not higher, standard: "Win one war in Europe and win another, or even two, anywhere else in the world." ”

In order to achieve this strategic vision, Britain put forward a so-called "two-power standard" for its navy, that is, the British navy must be second and third in strength after it combined. But with the industrial progress of Europe and the United States, such standards have become increasingly difficult to maintain. In fact, if something were going on in Europe or elsewhere right now, the British would not really have much strength to support Spain.

Therefore, the United States did not waver in its determination to drive Spain out of the Americas, nor did it really stop attacking the Spaniards. Relying on more than 10 years of continuous smearing, even in Europe, the image of the Spaniards has been rotten, and now the mining areas controlled by the Spaniards have problems, which is naturally a happy thing for the American media.

"What kind of news is this? That's too much, isn't it? Gladstone asked.

"Ah, Greystone, you still don't understand. Whether a piece of news can become news depends on how you report it. Mr. Pulitzer replied -

Pulitzer didn't know who Glestone really was, but he knew that the young man in front of him was definitely not simple. First of all, this young man was only of high school graduation age, and supposedly, the Associated Press did not need such a person as an intern anyway. Because here, what can a recent high school graduate do? Let him do the clerical work or the management work? Isn't that adding to the chaos? Let him do the hard work? For example, mopping the floor, sending manuscripts or something? Then it's better to just find someone who hasn't read a book to do it. What's more, when Greystone was sent here for an internship, Pulitzer's superiors told him that this young man was the son of an important relation, and that he came to you only to see with his glasses, to listen with his ears, and to ask questions with his mouth. And your responsibility is to take him to understand the operation of the whole news agency.

In a sense, such a request also implies that Greystone's origin is definitely not simple. Pulitzer determined that the young man was most likely the son of an Associated Press funder. Of course, Pulitzer did not know which family it was.

"For example, although this mining disaster is a common occurrence, there are not many people who have actually witnessed a mining disaster. Moreover, most of the readers of newspapers and periodicals are well-educated and high-class people, and they have little experience of mining disasters or anything. Therefore, different reporting methods will bring different publicity effects. For example, if an iron or copper mine has an accident or something like this, if we report: 'The collapse of the iron ore mine caused a complete shutdown of the mine, and it is expected that it will take at least two months to resume production, which will make it difficult for the iron ore mine to complete the supply contract on time...... then the audience's attention will be focused on the economic impact of this incident. Naturally, not many people will care about this matter, how many people have died, or something. On the contrary, if we report: 'The collapse of the iron mine of so-and-so iron mine, the fate of many miners is unknown, and relatives and friends are looking forward to ......', then take the sensational route, the effect will be immediately different, and people's attention will be different. If you can interview the so-called life and death love between the miner's wife and the missing miner, it will be even more able to impress a large group of female readers. In addition, if we go all out to propagate: 'The bloody iron mine - the collapse of the iron mine of so-and-so iron mine, ignoring safety, as long as profit is the root ......cause of the tragedy,' then it will immediately become a left-wing report. However, this kind of reporting is good in the case of nickel mines in the Spaniards. ”

"I think we should add the sensational line together. And then it's better to have some amazing details, like exaggerated descriptions like in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." What mine owners use Rottweilers to bite workers, what take advantage of workers' occupational diseases to collude with gangsters to lend usury to control workers, and make them slaves to debts, or whatever? That should be better. Dorothea, a southerner, has always hated "Uncle Tom's Cabin", which "slandered" southern slave owners, and often used this book as an example of "slander propaganda" to her son. So Greystone remembered the book almost immediately.

"Greystone, you're right, but there's one more thing you've overlooked. That's the kind of reporting you're talking about, and it's better to go to Europe than in the United States. Because in the United States, this kind of thing may be very dissatisfied with some of our investors. Pulitzer said with a smile.

Glleestone knew what Pulitzer meant, and that was because the Americans' mines were also dangerous, and there were often some safety accidents. And when it comes to the safety of mining, the Americans actually don't take it too seriously. Of course, the safety of the mines in the United States should be a little better than that of the Spanish nickel mines, which use colonial manpower, but this difference is actually only 50 steps and 100 steps. Therefore, this kind of content cannot be hyped in the United States for the time being, otherwise, if you accidentally hurt your own people, it will be troublesome.

But Greystone also knew that this was only temporary. Now the power of the family continues to lurk, and in a few years, maybe the situation will be completely different. Monopolistic conglomerates are much more tolerant of increased costs than small "free enterprises". When necessary, raising the safety standards of certain sectors is the only way to crush small businesses and monopolize the market. At that time, large-scale propaganda about the low safety standards of the mining sector, and then controlling public opinion, bribing parliamentarians, and passing stricter mining safety standards, can make a large number of small iron mines shut down. will be able to expand again at a very low price. Just as Standard Oil, under the control of Rockefeller, has continuously used their special relationship with automobiles and power plants to introduce new technical standards over the years, driving more and more refiners out of the American market. However, the expansion of Rockefeller's standard oil has also brought some problems. Rockefeller himself owns a lot of shares in this company, is the largest shareholder of this oil company, and recently, he bought some oil fields at his own expense, and now Rockefeller seems to have a bit of a disobedient capital and tendency
