1815年6月18日,拿破仑指挥的法国军队和英国将军惠灵顿指挥的反法联军在比利时布鲁塞尔近郊的滑铁卢村展开大战,这就是历史上有名的滑铁卢战役。黄昏时分,反法联军控制了战场的主动权,拿破仑的军队败局已定。这时,一个名叫罗斯伍兹的商业情报员悄悄地撤离战场,骑快马奔向布鲁塞尔,然后又转到奥斯坦德港。深夜时分,他跳上了一艘有特别通行证的快船。6月19日清晨,他在英国的福克斯顿上岸。他的老板正在那里亲自等侯。老板接过信件,快速打开信封,浏览了一下战报标题,然后就策马直奔伦敦的股票交易所。
On June 18, 1815, the French troops under the command of Napoleon and the anti-French coalition forces led by General Wellington of Great Britain fought in the village of Waterloo in the suburbs of Brussels, Belgium, which is the historic battle of Waterloo. At dusk, the anti-French coalition controlled the initiative in the battlefield and the defeat of Napoleon’s army was settled. At this moment, a business intelligence officer named Rose Woods quietly left the battlefield, rode to Brussels and then to Ostend. Late at night, he jumped onto a Clipper with a special pass. On the early morning of June 19, he landed in Folkestone, England. His boss is waiting there personally. The boss took the letter, quickly opened the envelope, glanced at the headline, and then went straight to London stock exchange.
