1855 United States Tycoon

"No one pays attention to our theory at all! We want to tell everyone the truth about the world, but most people simply ignore us. Even if we yell in front of them, we point to the bloody facts under the surface of America's prosperity. Show them, they don’t want to open their eyes and take a serious look. Instead, they look at us with a strange look, as if we are neurotic.” Leon Jogosz is talking to his new friend, a The young man who also believes in anarchism—Klaus complained.

"Lyon, what you said is. The situation is actually worse than what you said. If those people look at you with neurotic eyes, it at least shows that he has also noticed your propaganda, but the actual situation is actually much worse— -No matter how you yell, they didn't hear or see it at all. This is the worst." Klaus complained with his head down.

"There are also those workers who have short-sightedness, and their eyes are fixed on the one-dollar and two-dollar wages. They don’t care about anything except this. They can’t lift their spirits. They have no interest in the real revolution at all. They are really servile. ,hopeless!"

Generally speaking, some people born in the petty bourgeoisie like to dream of heroes the most. They always fantasize about raising their arms and responding to them. However, this world does not exist for their heroic complex. So these petty bourgeoisie dreaming of heroic dreams, once they encounter the reality, they will often bump their heads. On the other hand, these people often have more than enthusiasm and lack of resilience. These people may not lack the courage to dedicate their lives to their ideals, but they generally lack the perseverance to start small and practical things. Ruyi Scepter, began to complain about the air. Then either he was discouraged, or he turned to opportunism, adventurism, delusional to shake the world and awaken the people through some earth-shattering action. Maybe, when they were planning such a thing, they could still touch themselves to tears.

"You are right, Leon. Besides, there is another problem. Our voices are too small. Everyone can’t hear them at all. They really can’t hear. It’s done, it’s a good publication that promotes some correct-at least close to correct ideas. But guess how much this thing can sell in a month? Only less than ten copies, so our "New Thinking" After only two periods, it can’t be maintained... Why? Why? Because the market has been completely controlled by those big capitals, MacDonald, Morgan and so on. Compared with the voices of the media they control, we The voice is too weak. If their voice is like a cannon, our voice is just like a mosquito. So even if we yell hard, who can hear the mosquito in the roar of the cannon? So..." Klaus seemed a little disheartened.

"Don't be discouraged, Klaus." Seeing Klaus was very depressed, Leon Chogos hurried to encourage him, "When the cannon is roaring, if the mosquitoes just call, no one can hear it. But the mosquitoes It’s not just barking, but mosquitoes can bite people, I don’t believe it, and I took a bite so hard that no one noticed."

"Amid the roar of the cannon, I was bitten by a mosquito, I'm afraid that few people will pay special attention." Klaus still shook his head.

"Then we will turn ourselves into a gadfly and a wasp!" Leon Jogos said excitedly, "Let's do a big thing, something too big they can't ignore! I want the entire United States Even the eyes of the entire world are focused on us!"

"It is not easy to do such a thing. What kind of thing can bring the eyes of the whole country and even the whole world together? Even if we launch an uprising, we may not be able to do this." Klaus asked.

"The uprising, just a few of us? Isn't that a problem?" Leon Chogos said, "Even if we do, they can easily describe our actions as normal criminal cases, believe it or not. So, it must be a major political event...Well, one person can change the entire political situation. What is there in history?"

"Does the sudden death of King Alexander count? Also, Brusto assassinated Caesar, and..."

...

"Mr. Morgan, the anarchist should have accepted our suggestion and developed appropriate ideas. Our people noticed that he went to the gun shop and bought two small revolvers, pistols, and some special-made guns. He has to go to the shooting range to practice guns recently. We arranged for a shooting instructor to pretend to approach him unintentionally. He actively asked the instructor how to quickly shoot at close targets. Then I went to the gun store to buy a holster for concealed carrying and quick release of the ribs of the gun, and according to the instruction of the instructor, I used a file to remove the front sight of the muzzle. This is more convenient for quick release of the gun and avoids the center of the gun from being caught. The problem was that the gun couldn’t be pulled out because of the clothes. In addition, the anarchist also bought wax paper for mimeograph, maybe it was planning to print flyers for on-site propaganda.” A little man was telling Little Morgan reports.

"Very good, Gothe. What do you think of his preparations?" Little Morgan asked.

"Of course it is very imperfect by our standards, but I think he himself probably thinks that he is already well prepared." Gothe replied.

"So now, what he needs is an opportunity to get close to the president?" Morgan nodded and said, "This is usually a very troublesome thing. I think this anarchist alone may not be able to do well. We also need to calmly give him some reminders. Well, has our Mr. President have any public activities recently?"

...

"Mr. President, according to the plan, tomorrow morning you will attend the North American Agricultural Technology Expo and give a speech, and then have lunch with some people in the business world. In the afternoon, according to the plan..." Mason, Secretary of President William McKinley, is presenting to the President Report tomorrow's itinerary.

"Ah, Mason, this is another busy day." President William McKinley smiled and said, "It's too early. Well, my stomach is a little hungry again. I have asked them to prepare supper for me. Now, would you like to have a copy too?"

Mason knew that President William McKinley had always had a good appetite. In fact, you can tell by looking at his size. It’s just that Mason doesn’t have such a good appetite. He replied, “Mr. President, no, you know, I’m not in the habit of supper. I’m too full at night and I can’t sleep.”

"Haha, Mason, you can't do this, how can you get fat like this." President William McKinley laughed.

"Mr. President, there is one last thing-your security guards complained to me that you always like to walk in the crowd, which makes them very worried and makes their work very difficult." Mason said.

"These people are making a fuss. Walking into the crowd is politically necessary, Mason, you should understand this. A politician who dare not walk into the crowd is not easy to eat in the United States. Mason, you tell them, This is my style and I cannot change it casually. In addition, let them not be too nervous, and nothing big will happen."

If a few days earlier, Mason’s reminder might make President William McKinley a little more vigilant, but recently, the Morgan family and the McDonald family seem to have reached a compromise with the banks in the Midwest, and of course with him. A compromise was reached. Both the Morgan family and the McDonald family are preparing for large-scale investment in South America, and this requires his cooperation. Now that the contradiction between him and these people has been resolved, and now that everyone has reached a compromise in their interests, what else is there to worry about?

...

It was late at night, but Leon Jogos hadn't slept yet, he was carefully wiping two left-wheel pistols. The reason why I chose the left wheel, hand gun, is because it can ensure that it will not jam, and it will surely make a sound. However, for the convenience of carrying, he can only choose a revolver with a smaller caliber, and the 0.22 caliber revolver is small and exquisite, and its recoil is small, which is easy to control. Even a woman or a child can control this gun well. , In a certain distance, it can accurately hit the target.

Of course, the problem with this gun is also obvious, that is, its lack of power. When using ordinary ammunition, the kinetic energy of the fired bullet is less than 200 joules. In the words of some people, that is, if you empty a bullet nest, you may not kill a turkey. In order to solve this problem, McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company has specially developed two kinds of bullets, one is the traditional lead-exposed bullets. Although this bullet has great Ascension damage, it further reduces the penetration of the bullet. As a result, There have even been stories where a bullet hit the opponent's head at close range, but was bounced off the head. So the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company developed an enhanced version of the exposed lead with a steel nail in the middle of the exposed lead. The presence of steel nails enhances the penetration power. After being penetrated into the human body, the steel nails will separate from the bullet head under the resistance of the human body. Moreover, due to the asymmetric shape of the steel nails, they will roll, which also enhances the lethality. Other lead will also gush out, causing as much damage as possible. However, the lack of kinetic energy of the bullet is after all a flaw. Even with these things, the lethality of this gun is still somewhat insufficient.

"So by tomorrow, I must fire a few more shots at his vital parts!" Leon Chogosh thought, while reassembling the wiped guns, and then began to reload the two revolvers. bullet…
