[Titanic] I can't help myself

As soon as I heard the word risk, I immediately sat up.

"Is it dangerous?" I asked nervously, "What kind of danger is it? I don't think we should get involved in this kind of thing. If something goes wrong, we will go to jail."

"Don't worry, although there are risks, I have my own way to solve the problem." He stroked my hair comfortingly, pulled me down, and continued to lie on his chest, "Don't worry, I will always give Leave a way out for yourself."

"The second point is you." Carl continued, "The viscount and the viscountess obviously contacted you to catch up with me-oh, dear, I hope this sentence didn't hurt your self-esteem." He shook his hand Lift my face up with my chin.

"Hurry up and continue." I slapped his hand away.

"Okay, okay. They want to cooperate with me through you. If I can give them the convenience they want, then in this smuggling business, you can get the wealth of contacts and money at the least cost. This For you now, it is the most important thing. Besides, that money is not small money for you, you can do many things with it, since you always refuse me to give you money." Carl said slowly.

"If a person wants to be successful, besides money, the most important thing is network resources. You are not a sociable person. When facing strangers, you tend to be silent and evasive, and since you assumed the duties of the earl, you are even more Always stuck in Acton because of things at the manor, when you were in Cambridge, you always confined yourself to a very narrow circle because of schoolwork and business. Now you go to the army again, surrounded by people The child of a declining noble family.

"You need to know more people who are positive to you. They may not be as educated as you, have an ugly accent, and don't understand the complicated and elegant way of dressing the nobles, but they are the future masters of this world. Only by learning from each other can you know what the world has changed. When the war is over, it will be a stage of reintegration for the entire European continent. At that time, you can join in the re-division of interests among the group."

Hearing that he thought about me so much, I was moved so much that I was almost speechless, so I moved up, hugged his head, and kissed his lips forcefully.

This relationship between us, although I was the first to move, but now, I seem to have done nothing for Karl, on the contrary, he, since we have not established a relationship, has started to help me, for me pay.

From the first time he came to Acton, giving me advice and helping me with the transformation of the manor, to the Titanic, he missed the opportunity to board the ship several times for me, and he never let go of my hand in the most dangerous time , led me to persevere until I was finally rescued, and until now, I have tried my best to consider the benefits that can be obtained for me in the business.

Over the past few years, if it wasn't for his help, I'm afraid I'd still be taking it easy, reluctantly supporting the manor while trying to make the world change faster so that I could quickly develop into the world I'm familiar with institutional dream.

The kiss naturally developed into a night of passion. The next day, I could only lie on the bed like a mother and wait for the valet to bring breakfast.

Carl and I carefully considered this smuggling business again, mainly because of the risk.When I was about to leave home and go back to the front line, Carl accompanied me to London first. We, including the Viscount and the Viscountess, had afternoon tea at the Ritz Hotel with two partners in this smuggling business. One was The businessman who provided the cargo ship, he owns a large amount of shares in a ship manufacturing factory, and he has a great say. Another businessman from France is the general person in charge of the business including food and medicine. His scope of responsibility seems to vaguely include With arms.He was the one Karl wanted to see the most.

We spent three hours testing each other's details. These cryptic and meaningful conversations made my nerves tense to the extreme. When we stood up, shook hands and said goodbye, I think we seem to have confirmed the cooperative relationship. .

Due to the special reasons that I am serving, I am relinquishing all my rights, including the right to mobilize all my assets, to Karl.Speaking of it, it seems that he is using Carl to serve me for nothing. He handles my money better than I handle it myself.

Carl put me on the train to the port himself.I almost burst into tears again.It's another separation that we haven't seen each other for several months, and we don't know when the next vacation will be.I tightly hugged his shoulders. If I didn't have reason to press me down, I'm afraid I would definitely kiss him deeply like the couple next to me.

"Take care of yourself," he whispered into my ear, "don't hurt yourself."

The front line is still a stalemate day after day.

Since I rejected Viscount Stewart's advice to transfer me to a safe combat zone, Major General Mosley's attitude towards me began to change. He began to really treat me as his student and taught me a lesson like a teacher in a military school. Everything a military general should learn.What makes me more convenient than students in military schools is that I am on a real battlefield, which is more efficient than reading books in school.Moreover, Major General Mosley is a very strict teacher. He is already very imposing, and when he is really angry, he is even more terrifying.

So under his high-pressure and strict teaching, I learned fairly quickly. Gradually, I also had some opportunities to speak at the combat conference. In the autumn of 1915, Major General Mosley was promoted to lieutenant general , and I got internal information through William, and the higher-ups decided to give me a chance to exercise and let me command a regiment alone in the theater of northern France. Officially received the rank of major general.

Coincidentally, I happened to be next to James's regiment.James had already achieved the rank of major general.The war didn't make James even a little more stable. He actually hooked up with a young corporal. I've seen that kid. He was the same age as me. He joined the army last year. He turned out to be a watch repairman with a pair of slender hands. Delicate and handsome, with a somewhat introverted personality.Looking at that white and clean child, I couldn't help sighing that even the flying artillery fire couldn't stop his nature of hunting for beauty.

James began to chat with me across the war zone from time to time, and habitually began to persuade me to take this opportunity to find another boyfriend.He was very satisfied with the two lieutenants under me, and deliberately invited them to our tent for tea alone, and I argued hard from the beginning, but in the end I didn't bother to talk to him.

Our neighbor, from the autumn of 1915, has been doing the summer of 1916.During the period, the smuggling business discussed by Viscount Wayans and us began to prepare in the spring of 1915. In the early summer, the first batch of ships set sail from the United States, fifteen ships full of food and medicine wrapped in feed, It successfully passed the inspection of the customs of various countries, and quickly entered the market.

The only thing I paid for this business was money. Both Carl and I invested a lot of money in it, and it was immediately rewarded. In the war years when prices were soaring, these food and medicines were simply gold.Carl helped me use the money to start another cannery, and while I was away in the fall, we acquired a few more acres and tripled the size of the farm.

Viscountess Waynes' newspaper office was officially opened.Her newspaper publishes two newspapers, a men's and a women's edition.She has discovered a lot of talents, and they are the kind who can describe a piece of news that is so small that almost no one pays attention to it in a sensational way. Various speculations and associations are exaggerated according to the different concerns of men and women And expansion, which greatly meets the needs of readers, and has received great attention almost as soon as it was published.

To my surprise, Rose was invited by the Viscountess Waynes to work in the newspaper, responsible for the fashion section.Rose, like the Viscountess Waynes, is very good at dressing herself and is extremely sensitive to fashion. The two of them often meet or communicate through letters, plus the consultants that the Viscountess Waynes invited from Paris, Let this plate be filled with fresh colors in this gray period.It seems that what Rose told me that the Viscountess Waynes expects herself to run a fashion magazine is true.

During a short vacation, a Cambridge senior organized a Cambridge officer party at a club in London.We have lost a lot of classmates. The purpose of this gathering is not only to remember our lost companions, but also to give everyone a chance to meet. Who knows who will be alive during the next holiday.

At the party, I saw Dan and John whom I hadn't seen for a long time. John is now a lieutenant, and Dan is a little higher than him, a captain.

When we met, John first gave me an exaggerated military salute and shouted loudly: "Hello, sir!" Then he jumped up like a monkey and hugged my neck, and his legs wrapped around me, almost hitting me He flashed his waist backwards.

"I heard that you are now leading a regiment of soldiers!" He made no secret of his jealousy, staring at my shoulder, "It's too much, too much, why can an outstanding soldier like me only learn one by one from a low-level officer? Let's start! This world is so unfair!"

We sat and chatted like we used to.Even though Dan was on the battlefield, he never forgot his dream of being a novelist. The two of them were in the same regiment. Under John's persevering request, every story Dan wrote now would be shown to John first.He hesitated for a long time, and then in the midst of John's almost half-suffering laughter, he whispered to me that he is now writing a serial love story for a newspaper whose readers are all about women, about the relationship between a military officer and a hospital nurse. Emotional entanglements.
