Alchemy Greater China

() Because he brought Huaxia Town's reply: How many people are there, how many people are released, it's only [-], what days can we find out? ...the gap between the teeth is not enough (of course, the last sentence was yelled by Zhang Yuehu, the leader of the horse bandit)!

With Wen Siping as the Dinghaishen needle, Boli immediately had a backbone in his heart. He withdrew the governor's order very efficiently and told the more than 1 elites clearly: OK, you love the first drop, how many people have turned over Dina Our state government no longer cares about the Lishan Mountains, but if something happens, don't bother us crying!

Seeing that the state government represented by Governor Burleigh subdued, these elites dispersed triumphantly. As for the reminder in the withdrawal statement, they scoffed and completely ignored it.

What could be the danger?Isn’t it the 5000 guards from Schmidt’s company? So many of us went there together, with tens of thousands of eyes staring at us, how dare they make trouble for no reason and mess around?Even if they dare, our security guards are not vegetarians!

After Christmas in 1891, these elites began to load boxes of supplies and equipment into the carriage, and walked out of the north gate of Anchorage in groups, heading towards the Denali Mountains. ..

And after entering January 1892, these elites moved more and more quickly. Every day, a large number of carriages were fully loaded and set off. In less than ten days, the more than 1 elites hoarded in Anchorage had already left. Eight or nine thousand!Anchorage, which is crowded and chaotic, seems to have returned to its previous calm state.

Pulitzer Morgan was sitting in the carriage, wrapped in a thick fur, frowning, sipping a cigar, thinking to himself.

After leaving Anchorage, it means that the laws of the United States have basically expired, and then they crossed the Denali Mountains.Everything depends on fists and strength to speak!These are all gathered from the countless intelligence reports from Alaska sent by the Morgan Group's spies in the past six months!

Although Pulitzer is fat and ugly, he is the leader of the Morgan family generation. This time, the family attaches great importance to the minerals in Alaska, so they sent Pulitzer from New York to Anchorage.In charge of all activities of the Morgan family in Alaska.

Pulitzer was transferred from the bustling Big Apple City to the desolate and extremely cold Northland. It would be a lie to say that there was nothing awkward in his heart, but he kept in mind JP Morgan's words before departure: "Don't underestimate Schmidt. , be sure to treat him like a man-eating tiger!"

A man-eating tiger?Pulitzer snorted, and exhaled a smoke ring: It is still a tiger, and it will be killed by hunters in the end, and put on the celebration table!

Although strategically underestimated the enemy, Pulitzer did not have the slightest bit of sloppiness in the preparations he should have made before departure. As the strongest elite, he understood: a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.Don't give your opponent any room to counterattack!

This is the main reason why he has won more and lost less than he has been in the shopping malls for more than ten years.

This time Pulitzer brought 566 strong professional miners and 127 managers of various types, and the trump card he relied on most was 400 veterans who had just retired from the US Army and are now called 'security guards'.All of them have blood on their hands, are equipped with weapons second only to the active army, and receive high employment salaries, and their morale is extremely high.It can be said that the combat effectiveness is almost no less than that of the US Army.

Although Pulitzer did not understand military affairs, he inspected these security guards.He was full of confidence in their victory when they went to fight Schmidt's escort.

5000 people?It's just five thousand mobs, and I heard that most of them are yellow people?Stupid yellow-skinned monkeys, do they know how to shoot?Do they know how to fight?

With inherent prejudice, Pulitzer dismissed the Huaxia Town Guard described in the intelligence!

Pulitzer had seen the family representatives who had traveled to Alaska earlier to negotiate with Schmidt, and he signed contracts with these representatives.Very dissatisfied: Do you want to hire local people?Need local people for infrastructure?Don't disturb the people... Do you have to buy daily necessities from the locals?

Although the reasons given by these representatives are high-sounding, saying that the cost of shipping is too high, that hiring aborigines can help them find employment and reduce labor costs, and that buying small items from aboriginal people can appease their resistance, etc., but Pulitzer does not have any Don't buy it: How can the cost of shipping be so high?That's because Schmidt controls the Aboriginal people.North Alaska blocked, no ports open!It would cost less to hire the aborigines, but do they have professional mining skills and knowledge of manipulating machinery?Will they wholeheartedly consider the interests of the Morgan consortium?What if they get lazy and go on strike?As for the resistance, it is even more ridiculous. The reason why these ignorant and backward aborigines have their tails up to the sky is not because Schmidt's guards are behind them?As long as your own security forces overwhelm the guards, these aborigines will make them round as they want, and flatten them as they want, and there is still a ghost of resistance?Hmph, it's still the same old saying, everything depends on strength, and whoever has the biggest fist has the final say!

With this in mind, Pulitzer contacted large and small chaebols including the Rockefeller consortium. It can be said that, except for Carnegie, the remaining mining contractors were all included!

Pulitzer proposed that after everyone crosses the Denali Mountains and enters the mining area, they must first occupy the mining area and drive away all the guards.The mining area is fundamental, this must be in the palm of your hand!

Secondly, don't be polite to the aborigines, seize every opportunity to irritate the aborigines, create contradictions and conflicts, and use this to observe the reaction of the escort.If the guards are weak and give in, then these protected aborigines will inevitably lean towards themselves. If the guards are tough, then we will fight them and let them know that you can't become a hero with a gun!No matter what the situation is, it will greatly damage the prestige of the guards and greatly reduce their local control.

Finally, after suppressing the guards, we must take advantage of road construction and infrastructure construction to control the docks in North Alaska.With the wharf, a large number of ships can enter North Alaska. In that case, a large amount of supplies and a large number of manpower can be continuously replenished. This is equivalent to knocking out a gap in the "tortoise shell" of North Alaska , When the situation reverses, Schmidt will not be able to make the decision, and we can also unite to demand that the contract be re-signed and the mining area re-divided.Re-survey unknown areas!

Follow these three steps, and we will be able to firmly control the rich North Alaska!

Pulitzer's "three-step" proposal has been unanimously approved by large and small chaebols: the previous survey results did not say that Alaska has more than just gold mines!With so many of us and such a powerful force, why do we open mines at the same time?At the same time, give Schmidt [-]% of the income?All the wealth in the underground of Alaska should belong to us!

These predators are red-eyed and passionate, completely forgetting that Alaska's 99-year mineral development rights belong to the Schmidt Mining Company legally![-]% of the income is already a very reasonable distribution result.Perhaps, these big crocodiles think that if they unite, they can completely ignore the law, trample on the law, and tear up the law!

Pulitzer completed this alliance, and then tens of thousands of people poured into Anchorage. It is ridiculous that the new governor issued any governor's order beyond his capacity.Limit the number of people who come in and out every day, and want to divide myself up, but in the end...haven't you compromised obediently?

Pulitzer finished smoking the cigar, threw it out of the carriage, and asked the driver who got off the carriage, "Is there any news from the front?"

There is only one road from Anchorage to the Denali Mountains, so although the governor's order has been revoked, the number of people who can pass each day is still limited to a thousand people, which is the same as Pulitzer's previous plan of "ten thousand people crossing the Denali Mountains" Lee's battle plan is very different.

The team of the Morgan consortium set off on the sixth day.With the Rockefeller family and some impatient small chaebols ahead, Pulitzer was a little worried.Don't let Schmidt's guards wrap up those who went first!

Although this possibility is very small, the cautious Pulitzer will not cross it from the scope of consideration.

"Mr. Morgan, there is no special news, everything is normal." The coachman and confidant replied with a smile: "I heard that several mining areas closest to the mountains have been taken over! It went very smoothly and there was no conflict at all. occur!"

"Oh!"

Pulitzer pulled his head back.He took out a cigar from his pocket again, always feeling that something was wrong: Schmidt's guards, don't they object to us taking over the mining area at all?

"Hahaha, good job! These Yankees. I'm afraid we never dreamed that we just gave up the mining area to them!"

In a base village [-] kilometers south of Guangming Village, Uncle Long laughed loudly. Around him, there were a bunch of core members of the Dragonscale Party.

Schmidt, Wang Botao, Long Ganruo, Xie Zhi, Liu Keyang... are all listed.

Chen Bahu, the deputy commander of the navy, continued: "Yes, they came aggressively, just to fight with our Dragon Scale Army! This is a good move, a punch in the air, I'm afraid it will make them even worse The monk can't figure it out!"

The bald thunder dragon snorted dissatisfied: "Old Chen, are you trying to shadow something by showing off this nonsense allegory?"

"Uh, hahaha..."

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, and after looking at Lei Long's shiny head that could reflect light, they couldn't help laughing.

Schmidt laughed the least loudly. When the laughter stopped, he said with some dissatisfaction: "I still can't figure it out. Why is the mining area lost like this? I also pulled out all the equipment installed in it. After a few days of delay God, how much gold has to be lost! Besides, how many gold mines in those mining areas belong to us, why should we give them up for nothing? Is it because the intelligence said that they have more than 3000 veterans with guns Xie Zhi, if Lao Lei is not here, could it be that the guards are afraid of those foreign devils?"

A Westerner with deep eyes, high nose, and brown hair kept saying "foreign devils" in Chinese. This scene was full of joy, and everyone present couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing again.

After laughing for a while, Xie Zhi replied: "Schmidt, the combat effectiveness of the guards has never declined. I can assure you of this! If you don't resist, you will retreat. The decision to let go of the frontline mining area is made by Uncle Long. You If you have any comments, please ask him! Well, in fact, I am also very puzzled by this decision."

Not only Xie Zhi and Schmidt, but everyone else in the room turned their questioning eyes to Uncle Long.

Obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers, but afterwards, they all need a reasonable explanation.

"I know that you are dissatisfied. A group of people just want to fight?"

Uncle Long had a smile on his face and snorted heavily: "You don't even think about it, these Yankees who came here apparently came to mine mines according to the contract. If we don't think about anything, we will directly fight them head-on... …Yes, we can win for sure, but how big the loss will be, have you guys considered it?"

Long Bo glanced at everyone in the room, including Zhou Xiang who just interrupted.When these people met Long Bo's eyes, they all lowered their heads involuntarily.

Long Bo is in charge of Huaxia Town for the young master, and his prestige is not ordinary.

That's why Lei Long and Xie Zhi, one sea and one land, the two supreme commanders did not hesitate to execute the order to retreat.

"I called you this meeting today to answer the doubts in your hearts! To unify everyone's thinking!"

Long Bo withdrew his sharp eyes, and said: "The Longlin Party upholds the principles of fairness, justice, and openness. I will let you know that there are sufficient reasons for the decision of the Executive Yuan to 'retreat if you don't resist'." of!"

next.It was Long Bo who stated the reason.

"In war, your thinking is very simple, as long as you risk your life to kill the enemy, right? Your soldiers are very hard, training every day, training until sweating, training to often collapse, you are eager to win the battle Prove yourself, especially when the enemy is those blond foreigners. You are more motivated to fight, right? But have you ever thought about it. The first thing in war is to fight for money. After years of development, our current population has exceeded [-], and [-] of them have joined Huaxia Town's household registration! When there is a war, the people of Huaxia Town who regard us as their reliance will suffer first!"

"War. The young master once said that war is not about being brave and ruthless, nor is it consuming population. The purpose of fighting is to obtain the greatest benefit and earn the most profit. Can anyone among you tell me that if we start a war now, even if the Dragon Scale Army With one as ten, we can kill those three thousand veterans with guns at the smallest cost, what can we gain?"

"Don't talk? Well, let me talk about the results of the deduction made by the Executive Yuan. First, once the war starts, even if it only lasts for three days, the expenditure on guns, ammunition, and pensions for soldiers will at least exceed 100 million U.S. dollars!"

"Second, once the war breaks out, those mine owners who signed contracts with Schmidt will inevitably back down. Even if they don't back down, the progress of developing new mining areas and excavating new mines will inevitably be delayed. This delay means invisible losses How much? Schmidt, according to the contract, they will hand over [-]% of the mining proceeds to your company."

(“It’s Long Hao’s company!” Schmidt muttered resentfully.)

"Third, the war is starting on our territory. How sure are you that none of the enemy's soldiers can escape? If they escape, these remnants will escape into such a vast land of Alaska, which will affect our future production. How much trouble and hidden dangers have been caused? At least, the safety of the people will not be guaranteed, and many confidential projects created by the young master will not be kept secret. In addition, the Yongjin University will be suspended, the pioneering brigade of the pole will stop working, and the vegetable greenhouses and fishing grounds will be closed. Strengthen the guards, increase the security level of the Nightmare Valley, and so on."

"Finally, Zhou Bodang is cleaning up the local aborigines in Canada, and our side hastily started a war with these Yankees. Fighting on two fronts, what will the people of Huaxia Town think of us? Don't forget, a large part of them are Life in China is unsatisfactory, and the peace and tranquility that yearns for Huaxia Town was brought by us half-coaxed and half-deceived. They crossed the ocean and left their homes, and their sense of belonging is not strong. If we know that we initiated the war, the loyalty of these people, Who can guarantee? Who dares to say that these people will not go to the other side when the situation is stalemate?"

"In the final analysis, don't look at our current military strength, but these are all piled up with the money that the young master has worked so hard to get! The foundation is not strong! We must not be brave for a while and take risks with the future of Huaxia Town! Therefore, Only the Executive Yuan will make the decision to retreat if there is no resistance, and to retreat!"

After Long Bo finished speaking in one breath, the whole room was silent. In the final analysis, [-]% of the people here are warriors, and they can understand these things that Long Bo analyzed, but they would never take the initiative to think about them normally!

After a long silence, Chen Bahu said: "Uncle Long is right, but... we just keep retreating instead of fighting back? What do the old people in Huaxia Town think of my Dragon Scale Army?"

"Hmph, who said that you have been retreating and not fighting back?"

Long Bo snorted, and said: "Do you understand? It's not a thousand miles away! Let these Yankees be proud for a few days, and when they have installed the mining equipment and settled down, our chance will come." Already!"

Chen Rui asked, "What opportunity?"

Uncle Long rolled his eyes covertly, with a scheming smile on his face: "Don't forget, these Yankees are not a twisted rope, they are united, [-]% of them are directed at our guards! When we retreat without a fight, when they think that we are no longer a threat, the hidden conflicts between them will reappear. Chen Rui, think about it carefully, the few small gold mines we discarded are so good Swallowed it?"

"Oh……"

A row of people in the room suddenly realized, which made Uncle Long proud and a little helpless: the young master is right, you don’t feel it when the population is small in the early days, but when the population increases, our abilities and shortcomings will be revealed!Hey, if only that fake foreign devil Rong Hong was still in Huaxia Town, I don't have to bother me so much, old man!Fortunately, the young master left a few tricks in his pocket and set a big goal, otherwise I would be too sad. (To be continued.)
