Description
"…The idea of our offensive is this: we must strike the world with an unheard-of and unbearable horror…
The four men at the table pulled out cigars again, but this time they didn’t smirk. Corvin the engineer’s eyes blinked slowly. Ignatius Ruff sucked in air through his nostrils.
— …We must cause a state of shock, a temporary paralysis of humanity. We will direct the point of horror at the stock exchange. In a few days we will devalue all values. We will buy packages of shares of those enterprises that will ensure us absolute power. When, in seven days, our enemies come to their senses — it will be too late. And then we will issue a manifesto of eternal peace and the end of the revolution on earth.
Ignatius Ruff took a glass of champagne and immediately set it back down. His hand was trembling a little.
— …And by what method will we achieve the desired effect — the worldwide terror?"
