1890 King of Southeast Asia

Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, Harnand \u0026 Wolff Shipyard.

Harnand \u0026 Wolff Shipyard is the largest shipyard in Belfast, with a huge slipway capable of building 280-meter ships.

In 1908, the British White Star Line planned to build three large ships with four chimneys and a displacement of 46,000 tons, and commissioned Harnand \u0026 Wolff Shipyard to build them, named Olympic-class cruise ships.

At the end of March 1909, the keel of the second Olympic-class cruise ship began to be laid, and her name was Titanic.

"Mr. Albert, this is a great achievement. When this ship is launched, it will be the largest and fastest cruise ship in the world." George Harnand, a small manager of Harnand \u0026 Wolff Shipyard, said as he watched the progress of the project.

His uncle Charlie Harnand was the general manager of the shipyard, and he was just a small manager who managed the workers.

"I just don't know when the construction of the Britannia can start. With the Olympic class, we are already ahead in this competition.

Britannia can help us win this competition." Albert looked around and checked various materials on the spot, fully expressing his distrust.

"It will take until mid-1910 at the earliest. We only have two slipways over 800 feet. After the Olympic is launched, we can start the next ship." George said helplessly.

White Star Line commissioned them to build ships and proposed to build three ships, but they only had two slipways that met the requirements, so they could only build two first.

Albert was a specialist sent by White Star Line to check the progress of the project. Unlike other shipping companies that kept the names of the ships confidential before launching, White Star Line disclosed the names of the ships when the ships began to be built.

Under the hype of White Star Line, the names of the first two ships, Olympic/Titanic/Britannia, have already spread throughout Britain.

In order to ensure that the ship was launched smoothly on the agreed schedule, the White Star Line sent Albert to monitor the progress of the project.

"I heard that there is also a country in the far east that is building a large cruise ship?" George muttered as he looked at the keel being laid.

"Are you talking about Nanhua? They are the descendants of that group of Chinese monkeys. They only know how to make porcelain and grow tea. Although they have learned some advanced civilizations in recent years, how can they build a big ship? Their claws are bent.

Oh! There is also opium planting. I heard that many opium merchants have gone bankrupt. Their opium cannot compete with the local products of the Qing Empire. The Qing Empire is a group of opium dealers." Albert was very disdainful.

Although Albert was an administrative commissioner of the White Star Line, he had not been abroad much. The few experiences he had abroad were either in South Africa or India.

His experience in the Indian colony made him look down on Asians, thinking that they were greedy, lazy, cowardly, ignorant, and did not believe in God!

Although his arrogance was not without reason in this heyday of the British Empire, it was also because of this arrogance that the British Empire became the Great Britain.

"Uh, Albert, you are biased. I don't know much about the Qing Empire, but the Japanese have bought things in my shipyard. Their fingers are normal. They are just a little short." George scratched his head.

As a businessman, George would not be as arrogant as a skilled worker like Albert. He knew what his capital was and that the world was not what the media said.

"In addition, the achievements of the South China Empire in recent years are still very advanced. Their labels are no longer tea and porcelain, but sugar, rubber, medicine, cars, and oil. Most of the cars running on the streets are produced by South China." George counted on his fingers.

"Cars? British cars? They also drive on land, and the sea is still British." Albert's face turned a little sour.

George shrugged. He wanted to discuss the international situation with Albert, but now he was not interested.

He was just a proud, poor guy who was blinded by the media.

"After this ship is launched, the world will enter a new era. 52,000 tons (British short tons), 882 feet, Britain leads the world..." Albert did not notice George's perfunctory and said tirelessly.

"What's wrong?" George was annoyed, and suddenly saw a group of workers gathered together, and he was even more annoyed.

George and Albert walked up, and it was indeed not a good thing.

When the crane was lifting steel, the speed was too fast, and the steel plate swung too much. A worker fell while dodging and was pierced in the chest by a steel bar.

When George arrived, the worker was spitting blood foam.

"It's Connor, God! He has four children..."

"Hurry up and save him, lift him up and send him to the hospital."

"He's vomiting blood, he needs to be treated quickly."

"Connor's family is in trouble, I don't know if they have the money to pay for the medical expenses, alas..."

"Be careful."

The workers surrounded Connor, and a few who were on good terms with Connor were trying to save him, although it was not very standard...

You can't expect workers in this era to know first aid measures.

"Stop! You will kill him!" George came and quickly organized everyone.

Seeing that George came, everyone looked at George.

"George, Conner vomited a lot of blood and needed to be taken to the hospital quickly." Said a worker who raised George.

"Conner, I'm George, do you know me?" George didn't care about him, but looked at Conner who was vomiting blood.

"Lotus ... lotus ..."

"Don't talk." George bent down and looked at the wound behind Conner, his complexion was heavy.

The reinforcement was stabbed from the lower right corner of the northern part of Conner, and the left side of the front was completely penetrated. The lungs were completely penetrated. Blind dynamic reinforced bars would only cause major bleeding and accelerate death.

Staying in a shipyard since he was a child, George had some experience in various injuries.

This experience is not how to treat, but what kind of injuries can completely crush a family.

Conner is this kind of kind, and there is no need for treatment! Intersection

"His lungs have been stabbed, and there is not much time. You can say a few more words to him." George took off his hat and scratched a cross on his chest.

"He could still talk about it just now, but the steel bars were stabbed into the chest. Only the lungs here, maybe to be able to save." The worker refuted, but did not know how to get started.

"The lungs of the two sides are stabbed, maybe they can be saved, but it is far from the hospital here, and ... Conner may not afford medical expenses." George shook his head.

Everyone is silent. Where is the hospital? Even in the middle class, it is not necessarily the disease.

Not to mention them.

At this time, the workers were not the scarcity of laborers in later generations and the era of high welfare. At this time, the workers were the bottom, low income, long working time, and no security.

"Okay, I am also very regrettable for this ... Mr.'s death, but life has to continue? Everyone, you are at work, please return to your job. Please give it to professional people to solve it." Albert But suddenly shouted.

His approach stems from his pride. Some people always interfere with other people's ideas with their own ideas, especially when facing some people who are not as good as their own, this practice will not conceal.

George glanced at Albert with a surprise look, moved his position silently, and stood beside him.

"George, are you a manager? Isn't it normal to have casualties on the construction site? Why did the entire factory stop?" Albert saw that no one cared about him and changed his mind.

"Hey! Conner hasn't died yet, and I have to deal with Mr. Conner first." George was a little angry.

After putting Conner down (after death), he sent the body away, and the workers would naturally go back to work again.

At this time, the workers were sad. Why did they anger them? Do you think you can play a hundred?

"Well, but I still think that this matter has nothing to do with them? George, I will reflect it to the company in your management method." Albert also felt wrong, and he found that someone was secretly looking at him.

"So? Don't you let this, Conner's friends and colleagues, do you send the last journey to Conner? His relatives are not around, we are his relatives!" George heard it and said.

Just now he wanted to remind Albert, but when he heard Albert's report, he changed his mind.

Although his uncle is the general manager, he is not! There are a lot of Hanside family, and there are other families in the board of directors. Such a big list is enough for his uncle to change a little manager.

"What?" Albert frowned, but George's status was lower than him, so he did not choose to explain.

"Is your shipyard working like this? On the construction site, anyone may be injured and cannot stop working because someone is injured.

Waiting for George, maybe you can go to the East to see the Oriental country in your mouth building a big ship. Albert felt that he was insulted and said angrily.

After speaking, Albert saw many workers watching him in a bad intention and chose to follow his heart and slipped.

"Oh! Let's accompany Conner again. Let's take a break this morning and check all the time, and then go to work in the afternoon." George made a wink in a middle -aged man.

After hearing a rest, many workers were scattered like this. After all, they were really unfamiliar with Conner, but they just came to make fun.

Among the people who were scattered, several people left the direction as the direction of Albert's departure.

Conner struggled for more than an hour to faint because of too much blood loss, and died soon after fainting.

George took Conner's body to his house and gave her wife 120 pounds -three months of salary, which was his pension.

A life, only 120 pounds, but compared with peers, this shipyard still has conscience.

It was already afternoon to return to the shipyard, and the workers had already started.

It seems that nothing has been delayed because he died on the first day of construction.

Pushing the office, there was a exquisite pocket watch on his table. As he saw on Albert, he played it and put it in his pocket.
