Alchemy Greater China

Despite the huge loss, all the stockholders grinned with joy, their faces brimming with joy, and there was no sense of misery at all.

It seems that there is a saying that really makes sense: Happiness does not lie in how much you have, but in how much you have saved...

The desperate stockholders on the trading floor were redeemed, and of course the rich in the VIP room also saw a large number of buy orders.

They were more knowledgeable and hesitated a little more than the civilians, but with just that hesitation, the stock price dropped a lot.

No matter, it is already very good to have a chance to cut meat and escape!

Every second is a huge loss, these rich people really can't bear it, gritted their teeth, regardless of whether the appearance of these purchase orders is strange, whether they are suspected of taking advantage of the fire, and sold their stocks one after another.

In the end, after the sale, they calculated that they had lost a total of nearly 200 million US dollars. This... really hurts! !

Rich people with strong family backgrounds are better. After this battle, their net worth has shrunk, but some rich people with small capital are in bad luck because they are too greedy and buy too much. The money they lost has seriously affected their property. If there is a backlog of goods this month and the payment is not returned in time...they will declare bankruptcy!

It's ridiculous that they were laughing at Long Hao for being in a 'financial crisis' half a day ago, but in such a short period of time, they tasted the bitter taste of a broken capital chain.

It's really a cycle of karma and retribution!

tk Morgan's sweeping operation in the San Francisco stock market went very smoothly, and at the same time, um, the specific timing may be slightly off. At the commercial port, Princess Ashley also ended her introduction to the 'salvage technique'.

In fact, what she said didn't have much 'nutrition'.They are all official phrases, but there is a sentence: "There will be a ship to demonstrate in person later", which attracted the attention of the reporters.

As if it had been discussed, Ai Shili just put down the microphone, the outer edge of the commercial port, the end of the horizon.Black smoke rose and steam lingered, and four iron-clad ships suddenly arrived!

One of the larger ones seemed to be a new type of cruiser, and it was quite fast, while the other three smaller ones followed behind, but they were ordinary offshore iron-clad ships.

However, these four iron-clad ships all have a common feature, that is, a flag that no one has seen before is hung on the ship tower, which can be seen from a distance.The good eyes seem to recognize...that is a flying golden oriental dragon!

Leaving aside the novelty flags, the equipment on the four ironclad ships is also frightening.

It turned out that, apart from the dense gun barrels on both sides of the ironclad cruiser, the three offshore ironclad ships that didn't look like battleships actually exposed two cannons at one end and one tail without any disguise.

Although the caliber is not large, it represents an attitude: this is a battleship!

Where do they come from? !

This is not like the ship that Ashley said came to demonstrate the "salvage of sunken ships" (how can there be a demonstration of a warship!), but it looks like a pirate holding a murder weapon and preparing to rush in to rob houses!

Hello, this is the San Francisco Harbor in the United States.Apart from US warships, which country's ships dare not be notified.Just like this brazenly straightening the barrel, splitting the waves, and driving in arrogantly?

Crazy, crazy!

This world must be crazy, May 5rd, this day must be crazy!

As the four warships of unknown origin got closer and closer.Not only the reporters on the pier were exclaiming and taking photos frantically, but the cargo ship owners who were watching couldn't sit still: I'll fuck it, where is this warship?Don't come to rob, oh.My ship is not half unloaded yet!No, I bought that cargo ship with a loan shark. If it is damaged, I will pay for it!

For a while, the commercial port was in a state of panic.

Several small-scale riots caused by the owner of the cargo ship running around were staged in several places in the dock, and it was extremely lively.

Long Hao didn't give any explanation, but let the expeditionary army protect the territory so as not to be affected by the surrounding riots.

It wasn't until the four ironclad warships approached 500 meters outside the port that he said, "Don't panic, everyone. This is a ship from my country of the North Island. Look, the flags flying on top of the ships are the ships of my country of the North Island." flag of the sea!"

The marine flag of the North Island country?

After listening, the jaws of the reporters almost dislocated. Only then did they remember: This Earl of Beihai has established a country, and it is a Commonwealth country recognized by Queen Victoria!

The flag with the oriental dragon painted on it is the ocean flag of his country?

...wait, what's the flag of the sea?

I have only heard of the national flag, military flag, family flag... The term ocean flag, damn it was invented by you, the Earl of Beihai?

The military flag is the military flag, and the flag hoisted on the battleship is not called the military flag, but it is called the nondescript marine flag, you, you are trying to cover up!

Everyone is exquisite, and their thoughts are running fast, but they still don't understand what Long Hao means: Our North Island country is too small, a navy appeared rashly, and it is approaching the seaport of the United States, but it will cause international disputes. If there is a mistake, it may cause It is not known whether it will become the fuse of the war!

Was it because the Earl of the North Sea was afraid of offending the Great America that he invented a 'flag of the sea'?

Regardless of how the reporters figured out what Long Hao was thinking, the four iron-clad warships did not stop on the sea surface. At this moment, they have broken into the radiation range of 500 meters from the port: this distance is generally believed to be when the ship is about to enter the port. up.

It is not uncommon to enter the port, but the problem now is that the berths in the commercial port are not rich!

Four warships with a large tonnage have entered the port, where are you stopping?

Looking at the rows of freighters in the commercial port, with few gaps, the ironclad ship sent a semaphore to notify the port management personnel: "Clear the berths, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

At your own peril?

How conceited! ?

After listening to the translation, the reporters were astonished, and someone asked: "Master Earl, that is your ship, please tell us, what are the consequences?"

Could it be shelling?

Blast out a piece of sky and clear out four berths?

Such an absurd idea somehow appeared in the minds of several reporters... the Earl of Beihai in front of him.It seems that there is nothing he dare not do, no matter how absurd things are done by him, it seems to be a matter of course, nothing is impossible!

That's right, since his 'debut', he has never played cards according to the routine!

Long Hao smiled lightly.He didn't directly answer the reporter's question, but raised his hand. The soldiers in the audience understood, and immediately drove several cargo ship owners over at gunpoint.

These cargo ship owners were also unlucky. The docking position of their cargo ship was blocked by Long Hao's simple platform. They wanted to rush over to disperse Long Hao and the others, but they were captured by the idle and panicked expeditionary army.

"I heard that these freighters belong to you?"

Long Hao smiled kindly and asked the owners of these cargo ships, the cargo ships in the port behind were flying the flag of Portugal.

"Yes Yes!"

The faces of the cargo ship owners were ashen, and their good clothes were covered with dust. They were trembling, their top hats were shaking, and it seemed that the god of death was going to pick up their collars!

These Portuguese cargo ship owners are very unlucky. They just arrived the day before yesterday. There are too many cargoes to line up for loading and unloading.So it was delayed until today.

But who would have thought that the Earl of Beihai would choose the stage for his appearance.He just chose in front of his own boat!After a while, another warship appeared to enter the port by force. Isn't the purpose of entering the port to occupy their berths?

How can they not panic?

"Then let me discuss with you, can your boat go away?" Long Hao's tone was like asking a passerby for an excuse, full of doubts.

"...Okay, okay." The Portuguese captain had a bitter face.There is no way not to agree!

It would be a big waste to go out and enter the port, but the situation is pressing, and they dare not say no at gunpoint, after all, their lives are the most important thing.

"Is it a berth?"

Just at this time, a group of people walked out from the side.It was a beautiful lady with reddish-brown hair who said, "My lord, please use the berth of my Caponera family. I have just called my cargo ship to weigh anchor!"

The beautiful lady is naturally Qi Ni. She and Long Hao had discussed it in advance. The warship entered the port using the berth occupied by her merchant ship, and these Portuguese ship owners just happened to be at the right time, so they were frightened by Long Hao. That's all.

Chini Carbonella made a generous rescue, and the Portuguese captains were naturally grateful. Chini was good at dancing, and she simply said a few words to them, and a good relationship was formed.

The berth occupied by the Carbonella family was very spacious, and the whistling whistle sounded, and three merchant ships engraved with the family emblem of the Carbonella family sailed out of the harbour.

As soon as he left, the ironclad cruiser rushed in, and the splashed waves were less than ten meters high, which affected the merchant ship next to it, causing a lot of shouts on board.

The ironclad cruiser is very domineering. When it entered the port, it just "passed by" the three merchant ships of Caponella. After finally docking, a group of energetic and all yellow-skinned soldiers walked off the deck. Come down, with a gun on your back, and quickly clear the dock area under martial law.

"Report, young master, Yu Haosheng, the captain of the Zhenshi, is leading the entire ship and is on standby here!" This team of soldiers is the Dragon Scale Navy, and a very energetic young man reporting to Long Hao is the Zhenshi. the captain.

Yu Haosheng, who was born in the Marine Corps, went south this time. He followed Chen Bahu to San Francisco and commanded a cruiser.At this moment, Chen Bahu led the main force of the navy to join, and Yu Haosheng was the top officer of the navy who stayed behind.

"Okay, you're welcome!"

At this time, Long Hao had led a large group of people to the pier where the Zhenshi was moored, inspecting with a smile, and kept nodding.

When those dragon-scale navy with rocky faces and pine-like bodies came into view, the reporters who saw them for the first time were all surprised: tsk tsk, what a face of a strong army!Why are these people not like the skinny Chinese you usually see?It seems that the rumor that the Earl of Beihai loves to take in Chinese compatriots is true!

As we got closer, we could finally see the ocean flag clearly: a mighty and domineering golden dragon hovering above a white iceberg...

The iceberg should be a metaphor for Long Hao's land (those islands in the Arctic Ocean)!

After looking at it for a while, a reporter couldn't help asking: "My lord, is this warship used to demonstrate the salvage of sunken ships? What is its relationship with Ailong Shipyard?"

"I specially sponsored this Zhenshi ship to Ailong Shipyard! How can I say that I am also a partner of Her Royal Highness, and, on this ship, there is the latest application of Ailong Shipyard's salvage technology..." Long Hao Without hesitation, explain a bit.He directly ordered Yu Haosheng: "Captain Yu, I believe Princess Ashley has already explained it clearly to you, then, time is precious, please don't delay any longer, and start the demonstration now!"

"Yes!" Yu Haosheng gave a military salute from the Dragon Scale Army.Legs together, said: "The demonstration needs space, please allow us to clean the river, young master."

"Allow!" Long Hao waved his hand lightly.

Yu Haosheng got the permission, and before all the reporters could react, he gestured to the sailors staying behind on the Zhenshi, and it took almost less than ten seconds... A cannon at the stern of the Zhenshi rang out ! !

A loud rumbling noise, like thunder on a sunny day, scared most of the people on the pier to the ground.

The only ones standing were Long Hao and those Longlin naval soldiers who disembarked.Even some expeditionary soldiers around were frightened and softened due to lack of preparation.

What, what's the situation?

It even fired? !

It was fired after entering the harbor! ! !

The reporters came back to their senses, got up one after another, and ran to the shore to see what was the meaning of Zhenshi's unexpected shot.

Soon, everyone understood: this shot.It was Zhenshi who signaled the other three ironclad warships!

After the gunfire, the three training ships that had not yet entered the port continued to move.They did not drive into the vacated berthing position of the Caponeira merchant ship, but turned in one direction and headed towards the merchant ship docked next to them.

The speed did not decrease but increased, and the waves splashed on both sides of the hull. Its momentum was very fierce, and it seemed that it was about to hit directly!

Butler Coentram was standing by Mrs. Kinny's side.Seeing this situation, his mouth opened wide, and he shouted in his heart: "I'm about to hit you!"Are you going to hit again?Damn it, this Earl of the North Sea is a lunatic, is he going to order these three warships to crash these merchant ships?

Coentraon witnessed the violent crash of five American destroyers by the Zhenmo.Therefore, when he saw this situation, it was as if history had recurred: My God, do warships in the North Island country never fire guns, only know how to ram them with brute force?Halo, this, how weird this is!

Not only was Coentram so frightened that he was about to faint, even the reporters who kept taking pictures nearby also noticed that the three training ships came with bad intentions!

"Hey, what's going on? They have entered the harbor, and they haven't slowed down?"

"Yeah, what is this for? I'm going to hit you head-on!"

"Forcibly ramming a docked merchant ship? Oh, the warships of this North Island country are too overbearing! Does anyone care?"

……

The three merchant ships that were targeted by the three training ships belonged to the merchants who rejected Long Hao's kindness last night. Now that they received the news, they all came. Seeing this posture, they couldn't help but collapsed on the ground, mouth Li yelled desperately: "What are you doing? Are you going to hit my boat? This is illegal, this is a crime, hurry up, stop!"

The wailing of the merchants seemed to be transmitted to the three training ships, and a wave was raised. Only 100 meters away from the three merchant ships, the three training ships slowed down at the same time, and then, under the gaze of countless eyes, After gliding for a short distance, it almost stopped on the sea surface about 20 meters outside the merchant ship.

20 meters, which can be regarded as a fraction of a millimeter on the sea, it is really remarkable to be able to 'stop the car' in time, and it also reflects the precise grasp of 'speed' by the captains of the three training ships from the side.

"Huh, what a wonderful stop!"

"Whoa, a false alarm, stop, stop!"

"Let me just say, this is the Port of San Francisco, such a big port, how dare it blatantly bump into foreign merchant ships? Earl, he must be joking with everyone, hahaha..."

While the reporters were touching their chests and admiring, the sea merchants who had survived the catastrophe also recovered from their stress. They got up and walked towards Long Hao aggressively, with the momentum of asking questions.

That's right, since you stopped and didn't dare to bump into it, then you have concerns!With concerns, I am still afraid of what you will do?

"Count, what do you mean? Threatening us?"

"Yes, on behalf of the Netherlands, I protest to you!"

"Yes, I am the Danish nobleman Bendtner, and I solemnly ask you to give me a reasonable explanation for this ship threat..."

These sea business words have not been finished yet, there is only a "boom", and there is another earth-shattering cannon!

What the hell?

Shelled again?

"boom!"

"boom!"

Before it was over, two equally violent cannon shots sounded one after another, and these sea merchants were so frightened that they fell back to their knees, in a state of embarrassment.

There was fire at the place where the cannons sounded. Except for those sea merchants, the rest of them had experience. They barely stood at the moment, covered their ears, and looked towards the scene of the incident: My God, it was those three ships that fired the guns. The warship that just stopped! ! !

The bows of the three training ships, the gun ports installed during the renovation, the gunpowder is still in the air, and the sailors manipulating the guns are smiling triumphantly... But the three merchant ships facing them are in great trouble!

At a distance of 20 meters, the shell can hit with eyes closed. No, the shell with a caliber of at least 5 inches hit the hull of the merchant ship solidly, smashing a terrifying hole in it.

Well, the three ships are all the same, there are three big holes, and a lot of sea water has been poured into them!

Did the Earl of Beihai eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

How dare you shoot at foreign merchant ships?

Is this going to war?

"Hehe, the strength is well controlled, it didn't sink directly!"

When there was a dead silence on the pier, Long Hao clapped his hands and spoke: "These merchant ships, why don't you just leave earlier if you're more sensible? Don't try to imitate Mrs. Caponera... Take it!" How can I demonstrate the new salvage technology? Hurry up, Captain Yu, order them to clear up the obstructing merchant ships quickly!" (To be continued..)
