“Okay.”

Captain Smith did not leave immediately, hesitated, but still said: “The current speed of the ship is 22.3 knots, which is already beyond the safe speed of sailing in iceberg-infested waters, and perhaps the last four boilers should be extinguished.” ”

“I’m just a passenger, it’s up to you to slow down or not.” Ismay first eased up, and then applied pressure in disguise, “But you and I know in our hearts that full speed forward is the request of President Morgan to personally telex.” ”

Ismay, the captain behind the scenes, is also the captain behind the scenes, that is, John Pierpont Morgan, president of the American super-chaebol, White Star Steamship Company.

JP Morgan was also supposed to be on the Titanic’s chu women’s voyage, and he strongly invited the heads of several major industries such as American banks, real estate, department stores, and railroads to board the ship, and he also booked a first-class cabin with a private promenade, a private promenade and a bathtub equipped with specially designed cigarette holders. But 24 hours before the departure, JP Morgan suddenly canceled the trip on the grounds of physical discomfort, choosing to stay in the French resort of Aix to enjoy a morning massage and sulfur bath, only to send a telegram asking the Titanic to sail at full speed.

Ismay fully agrees with this request.

The world knows how big the Titanic is, but it has not seen how fast the Titanic is, and if the Titanic can sail into New York a day earlier and on Tuesday night, it will surprise everyone and make headlines in the major newspapers. At that time, he came out of the limelight and left an incomparably brilliant mark in the history of human passenger shipping.

“Yes, I know.”

Captain Smith understood Ismay’s attitude and went back to order the bridge controllers to keep an eye on the iceberg trail, but did not order a slowdown.

The Titanic continued to sail through the Atlantic Ocean at a speed of 22.3 kilometers and 41 kilometers, with no icebergs found along the way.

But from 5 p.m., the temperature in the sea around the Titanic plummeted by more than a dozen degrees, the outdoor temperature was close to zero degrees Celsius, and the sea began to freeze.

This huge temperature change made the passengers very uncomfortable, but most of them did not expect the danger of icebergs, except for some rich people who learned of Liu Bufan’s prophecy.

Some ladies, led by the Countess, asked the crew and Captain Smith whether the radio had received continuous iceberg warnings, as Liu had prophesied.

Smith couldn’t resist the pressure, and after communicating with Ismay, he promised the ladies the details at dinner.

“That oriental prophecy seems to be a bit famous…”

In fact, not to mention that a small number of cautious rich people can’t settle down, even Ismay, who just settled his mind a few hours ago, is also a little apprehensive.

Ismay lit a cigarette, put on her coat and went to the deck to observe the weather.

It was dusk, and the passengers returned to their cabins, and the deck was quiet, but Ismay saw that the prophesied Oriental was still on the bow deck, looking at the sea…

Liu Bufan leaned against the deck railing, looking at the sea, thinking in his heart how he would escape if the White Star Company did not pay attention to the iceberg threat.

“Hello, Mr. Liu, I’m looking for you everywhere.” Ruth managed to escape the surveillance of her mother and fiancé for a whole day, and came to a few meters behind Liu Bufan.

“Find me…”

Seeing the young and beautiful Winslet, Liu Bufan had a strong thirst welling up in his blood, and he couldn’t suppress it at all.

“Carl is so boring, I like to talk with you.”

“I love being with you too…”

Liu Bufan and Ruth talked openly.

Ismay stood a little further away, looking at Liu Bufan and Ruth with interest. He suddenly had an intuition that the relationship between these two was not ordinary, and something was likely to happen next.

Dusk is the easiest time to move…

“Ruth, you’re really in a predicament right now.”

Liu Bufan said, “You were born into an aristocratic family, but your family is in name only, your mother pinned all her hopes for the future on you, wholeheartedly cultivated you, and at the same time strictly controlled you, trying to broker your marriage with Karl, in order to continue the family glory and high-quality aristocratic life with the help of the golden turtle son-in-law… But you have your own ideas. ”

“That’s right, Carl is rich and loves me, but he’s also dull and boring. For example, I like Picasso’s paintings, and I spent a lot of money to buy several large boxes, but Calfei said that Picasso is a nobody, the paintings have no value, I am completely willful and wasting money. ”

“Don’t look at Picasso is not famous now, he may become famous in a few decades, your big boxes of paintings are a great fortune, you are really a successful investor.” Liu Bufan smiled, and then shook his head again, “But laughing is a joke, painting is an art, and it cannot be measured purely by wealth.” ”

“Yes.” Ruth said bitterly, “But Carl always uses money to say things, in fact, the entire upper class is the same, full of mutual praise of wealth, intoxicated self-affirmation, hypocritical compliments in response to the situation, meaningless echoes… I felt bored with all this, from indifference to disgust, and finally thought of escape, using death to escape. ”

“Death escape is a sign of cowardice, a selfish act of disregard for relatives and friends, Ruth, you are a flower that is burning and blooming, the most gorgeous American rose, it is the beautiful years of the rainy season, and you should be full of hope for life.”

“After being rescued by you, I understood these truths, but…”

Liu Bufan pondered for a moment and said: “You can’t pursue the freedom, freshness, and fun you like now, the main reason is that the family is in the middle, so you have to comply with your mother’s expectations and face a marriage like sending people under the fence.” ”

“Although I don’t want to talk about money, it is.” Ruth had to admit, “If my family was still rich and my mother would never insist on me marrying Carl, and I could do what I loved and live the life I liked, my current predicament would no longer exist.” ”

Liu Bufan suddenly stared at Ruth: “The matter of money, I will try my best to think of a way for you, you just need to promise me, live well and colorfully, and you can no longer have the idea of suicide.” ”

It can be said that the vast majority of beautiful women, hearing a low-level homeless man who cares for himself so loudly, will definitely laugh, as if hearing the biggest joke under the sun.
