1855 United States Tycoon

Newspapers are currently the most influential newspapers in Italy, so they are naturally invited. After receiving the invitation, they immediately realized that there was big news. So Robert, the most experienced reporter, and Fabio, the best editor, were sent to participate in this press conference.

When they arrived, the press conference had not yet started, but there were already quite a few journalists in the venue. Most of these people are familiar with each other, so when Robert and Fabio walked in, many people waved at them.

A service worker took them to the seats prepared for them, and because of the influence of their newspaper, they got one of the best seats.

"Hey, Robert, you are here too." A reporter sitting next to him said to Robert.

Robert turned his head, and he recognized that this was Francisco, a reporter for the Evening Post.

"Francesco, you came really early." Robert stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said to him.

"There is big news, of course you have to run faster." Francisco said with a smile, "Robert, what news do you say this time?"

"Probably the British have done something in South Africa again. Maybe they used poison gas on a large scale again, um, Francis, what do you think it will be?" Robert asked rhetorically.

"How do I know, I only know one thing, that is, the level of bad things done by the British is definitely worth looking forward to. Maybe something no less than the last poisonous gas incident came out." Francis shook his head and said.

"In this world, can there be more evil deeds than the last poison gas incident?" Robert asked suspiciously.

"It's hard to say, but I didn't expect it for the time being. But, Robert, you know that we are all kind people. No matter how we use our brains, we can't think of such a vicious thing. So let's not guess. It is a complete waste of time. , Besides, the press conference is about to begin."

The press conference began. The first person to appear was President Krueger of the Transvaal Republic. Of course, he is now the President in exile.

President Kruger first informed the reporters that the Boers were still resisting British aggression through guerrilla warfare and constantly attacking the British invading army, and then he drew out the focus of today: The British began to build concentration camps in South Africa.

"The British adopted a policy of genocide against the Boer people. They set up dozens of concentration camps on the land of the Transvaal Republic. They burned all the farms of the peaceful residents who did not participate in the war and robbed all their belongings. , And then sent them to a concentration camp, where they were killed through intense labor and unimaginable hunger.

The British aggressors have now completely abandoned the veil of a "civilized man", revealing the true face of evil and barbarity. Even the most terrifying barbarians in human history, even Alati, even Genghis Khan, can’t do anything more barbarous than the British’s “burn out”, “rob all”, “kill all” “three lights” policy. Something more evil!

In order to expose the crimes in the concentration camps, some conscientious journalists-please allow me to pay tribute to them on behalf of the Boer people. They are worthy of the profession of journalists and God's teachings-they and our brave guerrillas. We had a cooperation. Our hero, the fearless warrior Captain Waldner, led his team and launched an attack on a heavily guarded concentration camp, the Charles Concentration Camp, in order to rescue the compatriots in the concentration camp and bring the British aggressors to the heights of the camp. The crimes committed behind the wall that trampled on Moses' Ten Commandments and God's rules were made public.

As you know, for this battle, our soldiers have paid a huge sacrifice. Many warriors who have experienced many battles died in this battle, including our legendary guerrilla captain, Colonel Waldner. A few days ago, those shameless aggressors also showed off this matter as their own credit everywhere. After conquering the Shire concentration camp with swift action, in order to cover the evacuation of the reporters and the dying victims in the concentration camp, he took the initiative to lead the guerrillas to block the reinforcements of the British army, and eventually died in the battle. May his noble soul find rest in heaven.

The sacrifices of our soldiers are by no means worthless. They rescued the dying compatriots in the concentration camp and made the truth about the death camp of the British known to the world. Let more people know that our struggle is not a normal struggle, but civilization is fighting barbarism, and justice is fighting evil. Justice will prevail! "

Immediately afterwards, it was the disclosure of the truth in the concentration camp. First of all, the organizers showed you a magnified photo of the relevant information. The first one presented to everyone was the photo taken by Ms. Emily Hobhouse of the yard where the bodies were placed in the Shire concentration camp. When this shocking photo was put out, the entire auditorium was immediately filled with inhalation sounds.

Robert sat at the front, and naturally saw the most clearly. Originally, when President Kruger made a speech, he didn't feel much, because the topic of the Boer War seemed to have become accustomed to people. But when the picture of Ms. Emily Hobhouse was put out, he was still frightened.

"God!" Robert whispered. He rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he was looking at nothing, "How can this...how can this be!" Robert clenched his fists. As a reporter for a major newspaper, he is considered well-informed. He has interviewed the bloodiest serial murders and seen terrifying scenes of murders and corpses; he has also worked as a war correspondent, and he has seen the ground all over the floor. Dead body. But he was not shocked by the scene of stacking the bodies of those people like wood in this photo. Because in this kind of action, people seem to be no longer humans, and become something similar to wood.

"Oh my God, look at those arms and legs, those people are like skeletons covered in skin. They, how can they..." Francesco, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help saying.

"When a man is a beast, it is worse than any beast!" Fabio whispered.

As more information was disclosed, everyone present had to believe that what the British did in South Africa was for the purpose of genocide. This kind of war aimed at genocide has not been unheard of by the reporters present. As Europe gradually ruled the world, it has always been accompanied by such wars. Civilized Europeans have made such stories more than once in South America, Asia, and Oceania. But, now, those stories are quite old, and few people still remember them. More importantly, the extinct races are all savages, and they are all people of color. They may not even be counted as completely human beings. At least in the eyes of Europeans, that's it.

But now, those Boers are white people, civilized people who believe in God, and they are not yet semi-barbarous Orthodox Christians, but civilized people who believe in Protestantism! How can they behave like this against civilized people? If the British can play such a genocide against the Boers today, they can also play such a thing against other Europeans in the future. This... this is absolutely intolerable, unforgivable!

...

On the other side of the Atlantic, in the University of Cleveland's large laboratory, a brand new thing is also being tested.

"Nicolas, how are you preparing?" Scrooge asked.

"Very good, boss, absolutely no problem." Nikola Tesla said with a smile at Scrooge. "Your idea is very interesting. Although it is difficult, it has advantages compared to the old method. It’s too big. And the more difficult it is, the more interested and motivated I am."

"Nicolas, you must have done it secretly once. Well, it must have been more than one test, right? You can't be like this without absolute certainty." Scrooge said, "Well, you can start now. ?"

"No problem." Nikola Tesla snapped his fingers. "Let's get started!"

The assistant immediately slapped and lowered the thick curtains, and then the other assistant turned off the light. The laboratory was immediately dark. But immediately afterwards, a beam of light shone on a piece of white cloth hanging on the opposite side, and then a moving picture appeared on the white cloth: it was a railway, breeze was blowing, and some growing near the railroad tracks could be seen. The weeds were swaying gently in the breeze.

This is the movie. A few years ago, Edison invented a "movie mirror" that can be viewed by one person. This is a rectangular cabinet-style box with a continuous projection of 50 feet of film and a 2.5 mm lens on the outside. This thing can only be watched by one person at a time, because Edison believed that only if every curious audience watched it alone, it was possible to make more money.

After Scrooge knew about this view, he almost fainted Scrooge with a smile, because Edison ignored something very simple and simple, that is, there is still market competition in this world. If someone else came up with something that could be seen by more people at the same time, then using the scale effect, he would surely be able to beat Edison's gadgets easily.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the French to come up with a movie that could be shown, and suddenly turned those little things of Edison into children's toys.

Of course Edison would not be willing to fail, so he began to study more advanced sound movies, that is, more advanced movies that combined the sound played by the phonograph with the pictures of the movie. It is said that his experiment has achieved a certain degree of success not long ago. However, what he does not know is that his efforts will definitely fail, because in the large laboratory, the direction of his efforts is the same, and the more technologically advanced audio films are also Under development.
