Chapter 23: Conspiracy Theories

Monet glanced at the flyer and found that it was similar to what Paul had told him, and then sighed and repeated the reasons he had told Paul before.

Then he said: "In addition, you think that this kind of good thing to make money has always been kept secret, for fear of being known and causing a scramble, why is this matter diametrically opposite, so many people know?" Don't you think something is wrong? You must know that although this business does require a lot of money, but there are rich people in New York City, what they lack most is a stable and reliable investment channel, if there is really such a good thing, how can it be the turn of our little people, they are not enough to grab! ”

"What do you mean, Tony, that this thing is a hoax?" Mike asked, incredulous.

Monet nodded and replied: "That's right, I thought about it carefully, and then found that in fact, what can be deceived by this matter is ordinary people who don't know anything about China, even if those rich people don't know about it, but there must be someone under them who understands, and how can they not investigate the market before making such a major investment?"

And ordinary people can't, they don't know about China themselves, and they don't have the time, energy and funds to go to China to investigate, so as long as this set of rhetoric can stand up in theory, then it will be difficult for them to see through, plus some people will add fuel to the fire, and even get some eye-catching high returns at the beginning, then it is difficult for someone not to be fooled! ”

Speaking of which, Monet suddenly thought that in fact, some people said that this is a bureau jointly made by American capitalists and Luckin, which is specially used to pit American stockholders, after all, in the eyes of capital, leeks are regardless of nationality, as long as they are easy to cut, so the punishment of Luckin after the incident will be so low, now looking at it, this thing is very likely!

"So should we expose this scam now?" Mike asked indignantly.

Monet snorted coldly and said, "Reveal? How do you expose? We don't have any evidence in our hands, it's all theoretical speculation, who will believe it? And if this matter is really as I guessed, then there must be a big man manipulating behind it, and the guy who jumped out to expose it at this time will definitely be killed silently! ”

"Is this so dark?" Mike asked, incredulous.

"Hmph, there's a lot more dark things than this, but you don't know, for example, the sinking of the Titanic that I experienced may be a conspiracy!" Monet shook his head and sighed.

"Tony, did you see that tabloid too?"

The "tabloid" that Mike refers to is a paper similar to a large leaflet, secretly posted on the streets of New York, and used to break the news of the "inside story of the sinking of the Titanic".

According to the "tabloids", the cause of the whole conspiracy occurred six months before the "Titanic" began its fateful maiden voyage. On September 11, 1911, the sister ship of the "Titanic" "Olympic" was leaving Southampton for sea trials, and collided with a much smaller British Royal Navy cruiser "Hawke" at sea.

Unfortunately, when the White Star Steamship Company applied to the insurance company for compensation, the insurance company investigated and determined that the party responsible for the collision was the "Olympic", so it refused to pay compensation. To add insult to injury, repairs to the Olympic were prohibitively expensive and could take months. At that time, the White Star Steamship Company was already in serious economic difficulties.

To make matters worse, if the Titanic did not set sail on time, then the White Star Steamship Company would face bankruptcy. And the only way out of this situation is insurance fraud. Why spend an expensive amount of money to repair the Olympic number? Because of its unusual resemblance, why not disguise it as the Titanic for its maiden transatlantic voyage and arrange an accident to receive a huge sum of money?

Of course, the White Star Company did not want to sacrifice the more than 2,000 passengers on board, so he arranged for a 'Karpathia' steamer, which docked in the iceberg haunted area in the Atlantic Ocean in advance and waited for the 'Titanic' to appear. “

This was because the situation of the steamship "Carpathia" in the Atlantic Ocean at that time was already suspicious, because it did not carry a single passenger except for the crew and 3,000 woolen sweaters and blankets!

Originally, everything would have gone according to the "plan", however, the "Carpathia" finally misunderstood the location and distress signal of the "Titanic" and did not rush to the wreck site in time for rescue. As a result, 1,523 innocent passengers and crew members paid a heavy price for their death at the bottom of the sea.

So the White Star Company only paid a little bribe to the poor workers, replaced all the lifeboats, life jackets, and stationery with the ship's markings on the Olympica, and replaced them with a new batch of carpets, and easily changed the Olympic to the "Titanic"! Because according to the passengers' recollections, there was nothing on the "Titanic" with the ship's markings engraved on it.

In addition, there are four "abnormal events" that prove that the "Titanic" has been stolen and replaced.

First, during the fateful journey of the "Titanic", there was a sudden change of course, which may be a signal that the Titanic hopes to rendezvous with the "California" that responds;

Second, when the "Titanic" was hit by an iceberg, someone saw the first mate Murdoch running to the high bridge. Murdoch may have been trying to stand on a high ground and look for the trail of the rescue ship that was responding;

Third, the later accident investigation report leaked that there was not a single binoculars in the crew hold, which meant that it would be difficult for the watchmen to detect the traces of the iceberg in time;

Fourth, the most suspicious is the behavior of JP Morgan, the president of the White Star Steamship Company, who was also going to take the "Titanic" on his maiden voyage, but two days before the voyage, he suddenly canceled the trip, citing ill health, but when the Titanic sank, two days after the sinking of the Titanic, someone found out that he was having a tryst with his French mistress. In addition, another 55 passengers were also abruptly canceled at the last minute;

PS: Because the next chapter is going to play a very important role, but I found that I was not satisfied with her character design after writing a plot, so I plan to rewrite this paragraph, so there may only be one chapter today, please forgive me!
