Chapter 396, Make a Big News (1)
"Dena, don't eat too much, you will gain weight if you eat too much of these things. And, God knows what's added to all of them. Alice carried a large bag and followed behind Dena. At this time, while strolling along the old stone streets of Nuremberg, Dena shoved another honey peppercake into her mouth, and replied in a muffled voice:
"Don't worry, Alice, I'm different, I won't get fat no matter how I eat. Moreover, this is a ready-made thing, and it is not guilty of using those messy preservatives. Besides, if we're worried about these things, we've been starving to death for more than two years since we arrived in Europe. ”
It's summer vacation time, and during the winter vacation of the first year in Europe, Dena, who is very homesick, traveled thousands of miles back to Duck Castle, and as a result, most of the time was spent on the road, and Dena was tired half to death along the way, and she only stayed for two days after returning to Duck Castle, and she had to hurry back to Europe, otherwise she would not be able to catch up with the new semester. At that time, the rules of universities were very large, because small things such as being late and absent from class could expel students. Although it is not too difficult to solve this kind of problem with the influence of the family, Dena is not willing to rely on the power of the family for everything. So later, on such holidays, Dena no longer traveled thousands of miles back to the United States, but ran around Europe as a newspaper reporter.
Today, the newspaper she works for is called the Bavarian Forward. It's a new newspaper that's three months old, but the editor-in-chief and the gang have known Dena for almost two years. Last summer, Dena also worked as a reporter for their newspaper, but at that time, their newspaper was still called "Progress".
"Comrade Dena." Alice came closer and whispered to Dena, "There's someone following us." ”
Yes, Alice has now begun to refer to Dena as "comrade". For two years, Alice was inevitably affected by her dealings with the socialist organizations in Europe with Dena, and at first, she only participated in these activities with the mentality of having fun with Miss Dena. At that time, she often jokingly referred to Dena as "Comrade Dena", and Dena also laughed at her as "Comrade Alice". But later facts proved one point, that is, the ancient Chinese said, "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." What kind of people you are with, you will definitely be influenced by them. Moreover, Alice is not much older than Dena, she is only a year and four months older than Dena. This is a must, the age difference is too big, so you can't follow her all the time as Dena's classmate.
However, this has a not-so-good consequence, that is, Alice is almost completely suppressed by Dena in other aspects, especially in terms of knowledge and insight, except for some skills that she does not usually use (such as shooting, tracking and anti-tracking, etc.). In addition, a half-old child at this age is still in the shaping stage of his outlook on life and worldview, and he is easily influenced by others. In addition, when Dena writes reports for those left-wing newspapers, she often discusses the manuscript with Alice, intentionally or unintentionally, and as a result, Alice is successfully brainwashed.
And although the members of the second group have been following Dena, they have to keep a considerable distance from Dena after all, so the MacDonald's family's understanding of Miss Dena's current situation, especially the state of life and thought, almost completely depends on Alice's report, and now, the content of Alice's report is all read by Dena, and many of them are even written according to Dena's will.
So, in the reports that Scrooge, Carol, and Catherine have seen now, the image of Dena is exactly what they imagined, a haughty, mischievous, mocking, female version of Mephistopheles. So much so that after reading some of these reports, Carol sometimes even said, "This girl is becoming more and more like his uncle." ”
"Who are following us, are they those double insurances?" Dena asked. The so-called "double insurance" refers to another team of Blackwater security guards who are responsible for Dena's safety.
"Not really." Alice replied, "The guys who stalked us don't have the same style as Blackwater's. The level is obviously a little worse than that sent by Blackwater, but it is not completely untrained, it should not be those messy gangsters, I suspect it is likely to be German police. ”
"Damn it!" Dena whispered. "Damn it" doesn't mean the police stalking them. Rather, because the actions of these guys will definitely be discovered by Blackwater's "double insurance". In this way, in Blackwater's "double insurance" report, there may be something like "Miss Dena goes to participate in dangerous social activities".
"We get rid of them." Dena said.
……
Officer Andrew quietly followed the two women. He knew that both women were working for a left-wing newspaper. They've been in a close relationship with some of the uneasy guys lately, so they keep an eye on the two women.
"Follow them, and maybe you can follow them to catch up with the more valuable big guys. Thus drawing out their organizational structure. That's what the people above said to him at the time.
Andrew thought it was a fairly simple task, and it was difficult to follow the two little girls. Sure enough, along the way, the two little girls only knew how to buy food everywhere and wandered the streets, without noticing that they were quietly following them.
……
Dena picked up a small mirror from a street stall and looked at her face as she said to Alice, "Alice, what do you think of this mirror?" At the same time, she seemed to inadvertently shake the mirror in her hand, and then in the mirror, she clearly saw the guy who was following them. It was a middle-aged man of medium height, slightly bowed, wearing a brown short shirt, and he was also stopping at this time, pretending to keep his head down and look at something from a small vendor selling accessories.
"It's not pretty." Alice said in understanding, and then took the mirror from Dena's hand, and from the mirror, she saw that the man was pretending to discuss this with the stall owner. Then she quickly put down the mirror and said to Dena, "Let's go that way." ”
……
Andrew thinks it's too stupid to follow two girls while shopping. These two girls are really ...... to go shopping. Even in front of a stall with no decent goods, two women could stand there for a long time, picking up one thing after another, and then endlessly comparing things left and right, and then putting them down again and picking up another...... Hell, it's been more than half an hour, and these two girls haven't actually bought anything, but they are still full of interest. It's terrible.
At this time, the two women stopped in front of a stall again. Andrew knew that the stop would take at least ten minutes. And there were so many people on this street, he had to follow closer in order not to lose someone, and at this time, the two women suddenly stopped, and he had to immediately make the appearance of shopping.
"Is the gentleman going to buy a small gift for his wife or for his daughter?" The stall owner asked enthusiastically.
Andrew had to turn his gaze for a moment, and at the same time said perfunctorily: "Give my daughter ......"
"Then sir, come and see this hairpin,......" the stall owner began to enthusiastically sell his knick-knacks, and handed a hairpin to Andrew's hand.
"Ah, I'll see......" Andrew said absent-mindedly, glancing in the direction of the two women—damn it, those two women were gone!
……
In a nearby shop, Dena, who was trying on clothes, saw through the glass window the guy who was following them, standing on tiptoe, stretching his neck long, looking in all directions, like a dead duck with his head twisted. The light in the shop is much darker than the outside, so you can clearly see the outside from the inside of the glass window, but conversely, it is not easy to see the inside from the outside. So the "dead duck" didn't even see Dena in the shop not far away, he looked around for a moment, then chased the crowd in one direction.
"It's so easy to deal with." Dena whispered to Alice beside her.
"Yes. Okay, let's get down to business. Alice replied.
The so-called serious thing is to go to cover the poisoning of workers at a chemical plant in Nuremberg. A few days ago, there was an accident in this factory where some dangerous gases escaped, and many workers were poisoned. One of the workers is even dead, and the rest are all blind. It is said that if it had not been for the dead worker who risked his life to close the main gate, the matter would have been a big deal. However, all the workers who were poisoned in the accident, including this worker, did not receive effective treatment or compensation, and the few who survived were even fired from the factory, which claims that it was because of their negligence that caused the accident. The factory did not hold them accountable, and it was already very merciful for them to compensate for the damages.
At this time, workers in Germany had almost no safety equipment and no safety education. In Nuremberg, however, the major trade unions were already planning to unite. So the leaders of several trade unions planned to take this opportunity to establish the Nuremberg Union and launch a large-scale strike to demand stronger safety standards, comprehensive safety protection facilities for workers engaged in similar work, and a system of workers' compensation for workers. What Dena wants to do is to do the work of public opinion propaganda for this purpose.
