75, get guns, Ruth's mother Fisher

April 11, 1912.

Morning, eight o'clock.

The shrill voices of the girls frolicking in the water woke Russell as he was resting in the spa cubicle.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up, opened the door and plunged into the water, and took a hot bath in the exclamation of the girls.

At first, the girls were disgusted, but when they saw Russell's face, they changed their attitudes.

However, he didn't have time to waste on these underdeveloped girls.

After putting on his suit and leather shoes, and while he was fixing his hair, the waiter who served him last night came up and asked if he needed breakfast.

He said a few kinds of food and the waiter went to prepare them, and when he stepped out of the Turkish bath, he saw several kinds of food he wanted on the small round table in the rest area.

He took out thirty cents and handed it to the waiter.

"You were in the way of the captain's face last night, and now the captain is not here, so take it."

The waiter said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Walker. ”

"When will we arrive in Queenstown?"

"About 10 o'clock, sir."

The Titanic will not dock in Queenstown, it will only put the disembarkers on the ferry, and then it will continue on its way.

Russell finished his breakfast and got up and went to third class.

Compared to the luxurious food in first class, the food in third class is much simpler.

There was only bread and cheese, and there was very little seafood meat.

Pushing open the door of the G-61 cabin, I saw seven people sitting in the room, Tommy Ryan was sitting at the desk by the window and writing with a pen, and the other six were dictating with a paper in their hands.

"Mr. Walker!"

Tommy turned his head to look and saw that it was Russell who immediately stood up to greet him.

The six of them also obediently stood up.

Russell nodded: "Sit." ”

The six looked at Tommy, and when they saw him sit down, they dared to take their seats.

"Is the list counted?"

"Counting, Mr. Walker, there are a lot of carpenters on the ship, and they are going to the United States to participate in the construction. They were excited to hear that there would be jobs when they got off the ship. ”

Russell took the list in his hand and looked at it carefully.

There were fifty-three carpenters on board, of whom apprentices made up the majority, nine were second masters, and only three were experienced old carpenters.

However, he is not very demanding, as long as he knows how to nail the planks to the ground.

"Very well, do they have tools with them?"

Tommy was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Walker, they have tools to carry and can make any piece of furniture. ”

"No, I don't need to make furniture, I just need hammers, nails, hinges to hold the planks of the roof in place."

"Yes, I've seen their tools, but there aren't too many nails, after all, nails are used when working......"

Russell nodded: "Very good, you divide these people into six groups, and I'm going to invite them to dinner." ”

"Oh! Thank you, Mr. Walker. Tommy's eyes sparkled.

"Your paychecks will also be paid after dinner, are these four people your fellow countrymen? Railroad workers? ”

"Yes, they have a lot of strength, and they are definitely good at doing things."

Russell turned his head to stare at Tommy, and the look made him tingle.

"Tommy, remember! I don't want to be a good worker, I want a soldier who dares to go to the battlefield with a gun, understand?

I doubt you can do a job as a security officer, your words are full of carelessness, but as a security consultant and personal bodyguard, carelessness is fatal! ”

Hearing this, the seven of them were at the same time.

They looked at each other with puzzled eyes.

"Rest assured, Mr. Walker, we will definitely be a qualified security consultant."

Russell shook his head: "No, the security consultant should always be vigilant, think about the employer, and watch and listen. And your mindset is still stuck in the farmer, the railroad worker! ”

Tommy opened his mouth, "Mr. Walker, we're sure to be ...... Don't believe it, don't believe it, you send us a task, we will definitely complete it, we have the guts, we have the brains. ”

Russell frowned and glanced at the seven, "You... Well, this is not a test, to be exact, it is a task of persuasion. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. ”

"Mr. Walker, with all due respect, you didn't even say what the task was, how did you know we couldn't do it."

"Then you go get seven guns."

"What?"

They exclaimed at the same time, staring at each other in disbelief.

"You're not fit for this business, go back and be a farmer. Oh, maybe I'll buy a farm in the United States, and you can help me farm and herd my cattle then. ”

Tommy said urgently, "Mr. Walker, although we are low-level peasants, you can't insult us like this...... Seven guns? I'll take care of it. But please also pay your salary according to the standard of the mission! ”

Russell waved his hand, "The salary will be paid at the end of the dinner, and I will only give you two days." ”

"Okay. …… Mr. Walker, we'll get the gun......"

"Give me the gun and I'll return it to the owner and apologize to them. You are my employees, and I have to do this as a boss. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Walker. I just said something to you, so please don't mind. ”

"Of course not, on the contrary, I am very happy, because this is the temper of a security consultant, and if your employer has an argument with someone, what should you do?"

Russell gave the seven of them an experiential lesson, and they listened attentively.

Tommy took the initiative to ask many questions, and Russell answered them all.

It was nearly ten o'clock when Russell got up and left, and he had to go to Mrs. Brown and then go to lunch with Astor and Isidore.

After Russell left, the seven people in the cabin looked at each other with big eyes.

Lemai slapped his leg, "Tommy, you shouldn't have promised Mr. Walker that we're never going to see a gun." ”

"yes......"

Tommy grinded his teeth and said, "Walker looks down on me, don't you look down on me too?" Any idea why Mr. Walker doesn't want us? It's because we don't have the guts to do things with the thinking of farmers and workers! ”

Sain: "Then you say, how are we going to get the guns?" ”

“……”

At 10 o'clock, the Titanic made a short stop in Queenstown, Ireland, and the passengers boarded the pier on the ferry, and a first-class passenger was at the Queenstown Pier, using a camera to take a full-body photo of the Titanic, and this photo was also her last swan song.

Subsequently, the Titanic sailed towards the Atlantic Ocean at a speed of 20 knots.

Cafe.

Mrs. Brown was mingling with Ruth's mother, Fisher, Ida Strauss, and other celebrities and nobles.

Obviously, the celebrity aristocracy, led by Fisher, did not like an upstart like Mrs. Brown.

Brown couldn't interject in the small talk, she could only endure the risk of eardrum injury and listen to their gossip, Mrs. Brown didn't like to stay with them, she could feel the rejection and discrimination emanating from the other party.

Like if you're around a fire, you can't feel the temperature of the flame?

"Mrs. Brown, you made it easy for me to find."

Brown turned his head to see that it was Russell, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Mr. Walker, have you had breakfast?"

When Mrs. Brown saw him, it was as if she was adjusting to getting along with her own children in advance, and she cared for and condoled everywhere.

"Last night Captain Smith invited me to take a Turkish bath, and breakfast was served there."

Hearing Russell's words, Fisher turned his head back and forth, his eyebrows were frivolous, and he said to Ida next to him: "Captain Smith is a busy man, how could he go to soak in the nasty Turkish bath, isn't that a children's water park built for children?" ”

Fisher is bitter and selfish, and in order to enjoy the aristocratic life, he can even sell his daughter, a typical snobbish eye!

Although her voice was not loud, it was not far away, and Russell could still hear it.

He turned his head to look and was trying to socialize.

But he felt his arm being pulled, and looked down to see that Mrs. Brown was dragging him and shaking his head, signaling not to be like her.
