1855 United States Tycoon

Scrooge spent more than a month traveling around Europe, and reached relevant patent assignment agreements with the British, French, and Prussians. Only the Austrians were extremely dissatisfied with the actions of Scrooge armed with the Sardinians, so they did not have the sincerity to negotiate seriously with Scrooge. As a result, Scrooge simply bundled up the Austrian sales right and sold it to Napoleon III. Anyway, Austria wanted to take Napoleon III to deal with Prussia, and it was really embarrassing to block Napoleon III's way of making a fortune.

After completing these things, Scrooge was about to return to China. Before returning to his country, he decided to take time to the Kingdom of Sardinia to visit the employees who worked hard for the company in a foreign country...

It was already July, and it was the hottest period of the year. The area where the Kingdom of Sardinia is located is in the Mediterranean, which is a typical Mediterranean climate zone. The Mediterranean climate is characterized by different rain and heat. Summer is hot and dry, and winter is warm and rainy. However, perhaps because the industrial level of this era is still limited, and the emission of greenhouse gases is far less than that of later generations, so the summer of this era is not too difficult.

Under the recommendation of the Rothschild family, Scrooge first visited the King and Prime Minister of Sardinia, and then went to a military camp in Genoa to visit the staff of "Black Water".

After meeting everyone, first of all, it was an old-fashioned wish. As long as this battle is won, we would give bonuses to everyone. Then there was realistic material encouragement, and everyone gave a small red envelope or something. There are not many, but it is barely enough for them to find a girl in the city and have fun.

Then comes the real thing: listening to the reports of the consultants, analyzing the problems that arise, brainstorming, and suggesting solutions to the problems.

"In fact, from the technical and tactical aspects, there are no big problems." Robson said, "However, the most terrible problem is always difficult to solve."

"What kind of question?" Scrooge asked.

"The Italians are too smart. This is the biggest problem! They are not idiots like Brits. They can be trained into automated machines with a whip. When training, it’s for the sake of your whip. They can complete various tactical actions meticulously. But they are far from forming the automatic reaction of the British. This can be seen in their eyes! These guys are really on the battlefield, and they are not doing well. Everyone I'm making the idea of ​​letting others sacrifice for the country. Don't look at the training status right now. They are really on the battlefield. God knows what they will be like. If you don't do it well, you yell "Charge" and look back. I found that they were all gone. I'm really worried that they will ruin McDonald's 1857 reputation." Robson answered with a frown.

"So, are things like Supervisor Team useful?" Scrooge asked.

"It's hard to say." Robson is obviously not optimistic about the effect of the supervising team. "If an army depends solely on supervising the battle team or something, it will be useless to give them any weapons."

"What about political agitation? Garibaldi seems to have done a good job." Scrooge asked. He remembered Garibaldi's army. Although the equipment was average and the treatment was average, the morale seemed to be good.

"God knows how he did it. And you know, Mr. MacDonald, our Italian is limited to a few words related to the military. It is impossible for us to impress them by speaking. And those Italian officers. .. Once you speak, you can’t do anything except “for the king and the motherland”... Damn it! If there is a medicine, like the dynamite written in some knight novels, after people eat it, there will be nothing. Just be afraid."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention. After hearing this, Scrooge really thought of a powerful pill that could create miracles. Of course, this thing is by no means the drizzle of cough syrup that "makes a miracle vigorously". The effect of that thing can't even allow the robber to beat the victim. The thing Scrooge thought of was far more powerful than something like cough syrup. This thing has a chemical name called methamphetamine, and another modern name is called methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine's predecessor, amphetamine, is already a very strong stimulant. In the original history, in 1920, the Japanese Nagai Nagisa produced methamphetamine with more obvious effects on the basis of amphetamine. When used in small doses, this thing can increase people's alertness, increase attention, and improve skill-based abilities, and even cognitive and thinking abilities will be ascending. When the dose is increased, there will be ascending, appetite decline, and self-confidence will increase to almost manic phenomenon.

In the beginning, this thing was used as a general anti-fatigue drug. Because of the effects mentioned above, many drivers who ran long distances or students preparing to take various exams would prepare something for themselves. Used to refresh the brain and replenish physical strength. Sleepy and tired eating methamphetamine became a fashion at the time.

After the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese also gave the army a lot of use of this kind of stuff. With a large dose of this thing, the user will become agile, bold, manic, and even prone to the illusion of being attacked. So, um, why the Imperial Japanese Army is not afraid of death, why the Imperial Japanese Army needs comfort women, and why the Imperial Japanese Army likes to spontaneously engage in massacres, part of the answer can be obtained from here. By the way, those Japanese pilots who were flying out of Kamikaze with the "Seven Lives for the Country" cloth strips actually had the courage to go to death after using large doses of methamphetamine.After the defeat of the Second World War and during the reconstruction of Japan, Japanese companies used methamphetamine in large quantities to their workers. Japanese workers were so vigorous when they were working. Come down. When I finished my work and returned home, once the medicine was over, I was immediately depressed. At that time, the enthusiasm of Japanese workers, so many deaths from overwork, and the highest suicide rate in the world, were actually related to methamphetamine. To put it mildly, during that time, Japan was almost skating all over the country. Later, countries around the world gradually noticed that this thing was highly addictive and harmful, and began to ban this thing. The Japanese naturally followed the father’s country and banned it. Then, well, everyone knows that Japan has more and more other things. A kind of creature-Heisei dead house.

In fact, not only Japan, but also the hope of democracy and the beacon of freedom use similar gadgets for the military. (The evil rabbit country has also recently produced such a small anti-fatigue pill specifically for the military. It is said that it can make people stay awake without sleeping for three days and three nights, but I don’t know if it’s such a thing.) For example, for To allow combat aircraft pilots to perform missions for a long time, United States people often use this kind of stuff for them. One side effect of this thing is that the pilots are prone to nervousness, and the ground is a little turbulent if it is not handled well. For example, someone in Afghanistan married at home and used an AK-47 to pretend to be a firework. Well, it happened that a fighter jet piloted by a nervous pilot using amphetamines flew over from above. The pilot saw the fire, and a nervous bomb dropped the bomb. So the newspaper appeared on the next day. The U.S. military accidentally bombed the wedding bridal chamber, causing the massacre."

If you use this for those Italians, even Italians, as long as they are willing to use medicine and are willing to take a large dose, they will definitely become a screaming tiger-wolf teacher. Of course, the attached condition is that more tourism and entertainment services must be prepared for the military.

However, the consequences of using this thing in large doses are also very serious. After being over-excited, it must be over-depression. Moreover, the use of large doses will also destroy the ability of the human brain to secrete dopamine naturally. Well, this kind of pathology is physiologically irreversible. The secretion of dopamine is closely related to a person's sense of happiness. So no matter what, this person will not feel happy anymore. After the Gulf War in 1991, a large number of United States soldiers suffered from the so-called "Gulf War Syndrome", which manifested as muscle pain, fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, low mood, weight loss, and decreased sexual function. The United States military has done a lot of research on this. For a while, it said what vaccine problem was, another said it was a leak of Iraqi gas, and another said it was pollution from depleted uranium bombs. Anyway, there is no reliable explanation. Just drag it until everyone's attention is no longer focused on this issue. In fact, judging from these symptoms alone, it is likely to be the result of amphetamine abuse. The only reason the U.S. military conceals this is to do so when necessary in the future.

But these are not within the scope of Scrooge's consideration. Scrooge knew that even the king and prime minister of Sardinia would not care about the poor soldiers. After using this miraculous pill, Scrooge would never I will never feel any happiness or joy again. Compared with the clinking gold coins, compared with the glory and benefits of the victory of the war, what is the despair and pain of the victimized soldiers in the countless days and nights, and the worries and sufferings of their loved ones? All of this, together with themselves, are nothing but insignificance.

"Methamphetamine is a good thing. The Italian War of Independence is about to begin, the Civil War, then the Franco-Prussian War, the two Boer Wars, and the First World War that is exciting to think about. How much wealth is there! Even in peaceful times, those factory owners, who don't want their own workers to spin like clockwork machines? What a gold mine this is! I actually think of it now. By the way, in addition to potent stimulants, aren’t potent narcotics also a big gold mine? For example, diacetylmorphine, which is heroin, is not just packaged in non-toxic and side-effects by Bayer in Germany. Addicted, can you make a fortune with the magical medicine that can cure all diseases? The monk can’t touch me? Hurry back to China and make these things to make money! What? Will anyone point out its harm? Will someone come to expose the owner? These things are safe, non-toxic and side-effects, and the propaganda that they are not addictive is a complete lie? Haha, when Bayer’s president faced this problem, he instructed like this:'Who dares to say, just hit Until he dare not say that he can't say it! "I am different from him. He only has some thugs at the level of ruffians. I am different. I have a private army in my hands! Who dares to say this, it is really for me to do it. Is it for fun to have a "Blackwater" company?" Scrooge thought viciously while showing a smile at the corner of his mouth. If at this time, there is a master who can read the mind and read Scrooge's thinking, he will definitely say with emotion that every face that looks cute on the outside is actually black when cut.
