At ten o'clock in the morning, Tom climbed up out of bed willingly, yawned, and took a long stretch.
For Tom, getting up at ten in the morning is torture!
According to Tom, ten o'clock should be classified as early morning, and everyone should get up after twelve o'clock.
Tom hates those employees who work overtime and rush to finish the work.
After getting up, with the help of his female secretary, Tom completed all the morning preparations.
Slowly putting on his mask and sunglasses, Tom walked out of the office. Under the protection of many hero "security guards", he secretly got into an ordinary Smith carriage that was not his own.
At about eleven o'clock, Tom arrived at Smith Station in Houston.
The train station was already filled with various reporters, who were basically reporters from the three major newspapers in Texas.
The three major newspapers in Texas are - Texas State Newspapers, Hero Newspapers, and Texas Employees Union Newspapers.
It is easy to tell from the names that these three newspapers are supported by the Texas government, supported by Hero Company, and supported by the Texas Smith Factory Employees Union.
Considering the origins of these three parties, it is not an exaggeration to say that these three newspapers are Hero No. 1, Hero No. 2, and Hero No. 3.
Reporters from the three major newspapers received "reliable information" that Hero founder Tom Smith and Texas' new governor Rocky Smith would take a train from Austin this morning.
Come to Houston.
Tom and Rocky's "grape talk" among reporters said that they rushed from Austin to attend the mourning meeting for the huge explosion on April 1, 1868.
Tom and his party quietly entered the train station through the side door.
A train from Austin entered the Smith Station. This train was a "special car". There were more than a dozen people sitting empty on the whole train. After getting off the train, more than a dozen bodyguards surrounded one person -
—Governor Rocky Smith walks outside the train station.
Considering that the death method of the previous governor, Governor James, was "stoning", Governor Rocky reasonably cleared the train station of irrelevant personnel in advance for safety reasons.
The escort crowd was walking, and after turning a corner, a crowd appeared "out of thin air" next to the governor's crowd.
When the group of people reached the main entrance of the train station, all the reporters present looked over and looked at the two people surrounded by "security guards" - Tom Smith and Rocky Smith.
Hundreds of reporters gathered around frantically and asked two young men in their twenties:
"Mr. Smith, what do you think of the explosion at the Hero factory? Is it a Yangtze conspiracy?"
"Governor Smith, please tell me how the Texas government should deal with this incident."
"President Carr, the president of the Texas State Employees Federation, is also on his way to Houston. What do you two think of President Carr's views on this incident? The explosion must be thoroughly investigated and the employees who died must be investigated."
Do we have a sunny day?”
"Mr Smith……"
"Governor Smith..."
Across the guards, reporters frantically asked questions to the governor of Texas and the founder of Hero Company, who were in the center of the two groups of people.
As long as the two top-level people have any answers or reactions, these reporters will write them down in small notebooks, and then go back and "slightly" "artistically" process them to become a headline.
Both Tom and Rocky were well aware of reporters' urinary nature. They lowered their heads and showed no expression along the way, and hurriedly walked towards the carriage arranged in advance.
"Mr. Smith! There are rumors that the explosion was arranged by Hero Company itself! What do you think?"
When Tom stepped into the carriage, a tall woman with brown hair spoke a "rumor" in a sharp voice, a true "rumor" in a questioning manner.
Tom didn't even react and got into the car normally. A glint flashed in the eyes of the female secretary behind Tom, and her body trembled slightly.
It's a pity that the reporter's focus is not on the female secretary, and no one cares about this female attendant.
Several carriages drove towards the hero company factory area, but the reporters kept following the carriages, and from time to time continued to shout some pointed questions, imagining that the two men in the carriages would stand up and answer.
On the newly built road, Tom's carriage finally got rid of the reporters who were following it.
Seeing that no one was following her around, the female secretary took the initiative to talk to Tom and made a gesture of wiping her neck:
"Tom, do you want that woman?"
"Why do you start worrying about this kind of thing? You have become like that guy John. The little rabbit will not be cute if it eats meat and drinks blood. You are not allowed to do this in the future."
"Don't they care about you~"
"Hiss~"
On the carriage, the female secretary was a little unhappy with the woman just now. She imitated John's usual tone and made a suggestion to "handle the female reporter amicably".
Tom really felt that the female secretary was getting weirder and weirder. Tom didn't like such a female secretary, so he scolded her slightly.
The female secretary had already figured out Tom's habits. She deliberately curled up into Tom's arms and acted coquettishly, making Tom forget about the "unlovable" behavior of the female secretary just now.
Tom didn't mind what rumors these reporters would spread. After all, the three newspapers were under the control of his sister. If the three newspapers didn't "confront each other" a few times and spread rumors to attack their opponents, it would be too false.
The two carriages came to a small square next to the Smith Factory area on the outskirts of Houston. The square was crowded with people, and cries could be heard from time to time in the crowd.
This is the place where the largest bombing occurred, and it is also the location of the mourning meeting for this huge bombing.
Why do we say the biggest bombing? Not the only bombing?
Large-scale explosions occurred in the Smith Factory area across the state of Texas last night. As the headquarters of Hero Company, Houston's Smith Factory area is the largest and the explosion was the most tragic.
The flames in the Smith Factory area of Houston have been completely extinguished. The fire caused by this explosion was not worth mentioning and was extinguished easily.
Hero Company's products have long been in short supply due to Tom's behavior of "buying high and selling low" grain, and there are no chemical products stored in the warehouse.
Hundreds of thousands of people worked together to clean up the remaining chemicals in the production process inside the factory in an afternoon.
Tom asked the blasting engineer to carefully calculate the location of the bomb. The explosive was also specially made. In addition to destroying the wall, it did not have the characteristics of continuous burning.
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, there was no secondary explosion of chemical products or difficulty in extinguishing the flames in the Smith factory area.
