Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

Chapter 176 Catherine’s Panic

Old lady Catherine is going crazy with her stupid son.

She really wanted to stuff this stupid thing she had given birth back into her belly.

"Listen, Bartholomew, maybe you should learn from Gareth. Although he can be impulsive in many things, he will not think of discussing it with his family before making such a decision."

"Your arrogance and arrogance will drag the entire Braithwaite family into hell."

"Have you forgotten about the Gray family? How long has passed since the incident at Emerald Ranch? If it wasn't for the Gray family, how would David know about it? We were also involved."

"How can you make the same mistake twice? Are you like those drunkards in the Gray family, where alcohol is always on your mind?"

Bartholomew, who was scolded, obviously did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Mother, maybe we don't need to be too afraid of David. We also have our own guards. He has already offended Mr. Bronte. Does he still want to be our enemy?"

"The worst case scenario is to hand over the moonshining business to him. Anyway, he's already doing that now, but if Mr. Bronte can kill David, then we can continue to do the moonshining business. That's a lot of money." money."

"It's much more profitable than our thoroughbred horses and cotton business, mother."

Hearing this, the old lady Catherine could no longer hold back and slapped Bartholomew hard on the face.

"Maybe I should lock you up in a little house like Gertrude, Bartholomew, you crazy fellow."

"What makes you think that our family's guards can be compared with those employees of David Security Company? Don't you read the newspaper? He gave each employee a salary of 100 US dollars, a full 100 US dollars. Beautiful knife!”

"Do you know what this means? It means that every one of the current employees of David's Security Company is an excellent hand. Retired soldiers and even Pinkerton agents are all working for David. .”

"So you think our family guards can deal with these guys?"

"Well, I shouldn't count on you, idiot. If the future Braithwaite family is handed over to you, the entire family will be in danger of destruction at any time."

"Now, we should think carefully about how to make up for the current situation. Bartholomew, tell everything you know about Mr. Bronte's dealings with David. There can be no hiding anything."

"Perhaps we can still have some opportunities to make amends."

Bartholomew heard this and exclaimed: "100 US dollars? This guy is crazy. How can he offer such a high salary? What does he want to do?"

The salary of the Braithwaite family guards is around 35 US dollars, which is already very good considering the current economic situation of the Federation.

With a large number of immigrants in the federation, there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit people.

They can also select some cowboys with good skills from the applicants.

Six years ago, in March 6, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company declared bankruptcy because it could not repay its loans to the British Bank, which marked the beginning of the federal economic crisis.

Two months later, National Rope suffered the same fate.

The bankruptcy of the two companies together triggered the collapse of the stock market, and because major banks in the Big Apple City put huge investments into the stock market, a wave of bank failures hit.

The bank failure led to a tightening of loans, and merchants who had just started to run quickly went bankrupt because they could not get loans.

Once the panic began, it quickly spread across the country. Within two months, more than 8000 businesses, 156 railroad companies, and 400 banks in the Commonwealth failed.

Agricultural product prices have become even lower. One million workers, or 100% of the labor force, have lost their jobs, reaching an all-time high in the federal unemployment rate.

Although there has been some recovery since 1895, it is still the period of the Great Depression.

Therefore, a job with a salary of $35 is definitely considered very good nowadays.

And David's salary of $100 is enough to make everyone fight over it.

Obviously, Bartholomew didn't like reading newspapers very much, so he didn't know the specific content of David's recruitment in the newspaper. He only knew that David opened a security company, which he heard from his mother, Catherine.

After learning about the $100 salary, Bartholomew realized what a mistake he had made. ?

Bartholomew said with some trembling: "Mattley, Mr. Bronte's subordinate, I am in contact with him."

"According to the plan, he will bring enough men to destroy David's Rand Ranch, the moonshine joint."

"Just... today, if plans don't change."

After hearing this, the old lady Catherine no longer bothered to scold the eldest son.

Immediately shouted: "Gareth, Gerald, my children, you ride your horses now and rush to Rand Ranch immediately to tell David's men that Bronte's people will attack soon." come over."

"You must be quick enough to tell Bronte's men the news before they come."
