Just kidding, if you continue to make money according to this efficiency, within a year, TK Morgan will be the richest man in the world!

The vicissitudes of the U.S. stock market came to an end. In short, the ups and downs of Earl's sector in the past two days basically met Long Hao's expectations.

At the end of May 5th, under the tone of everyone's concerted efforts to sing down Long Hao, the stock price was like Sun Monkey who was suppressed by Wuzhishan, honestly, and never caused any disturbances.

Fall, plummeting 138%!

On May 5, the earl plate fell by more than 24% in a single day, and closed with an ultra-long daily negative line!

The naval gunboat is still blocking the San Francisco harbor. Although no guns have been fired since this afternoon, according to this newspaper, employees from many factories under the Earl of the North Sea have been evacuated from the factory area, and some employees have already surrounded the residence where the Earl of the North Sea stayed. , ask for salary!

Taking all factors into consideration, it seems that the Earl of Beihai is really doomed this time. Could it be that he is really, as the newspaper just received a gossip said, closing the San Francisco property, and tomorrow he will board Colonel Benson's flagship, Accept the other party's investigation?

This newspaper believes that...

On the night of May 5th, both the western newspapers and the eastern media were reporting today's super event with exactly the same tone. Whether it is the stock market or bombardment, these media are instilling an idea in the American people : The Earl of Beihai is finished this time!If you have relatives or friends working under that earl, please inform them to leave as soon as possible!If you hold stocks related to the Earl of the North Sea, please sell them as soon as possible...[

The entire American media industry.It is extremely rare to unify the mind, to press another mountain on the back of the Earl of Beihai who has fallen to the bottom, as if to make him never turn over!

Now that the media has said so, the American people in this era who have not experienced the media storm certainly believe it. On May 5th, the five major exchanges in the United States opened. Unsurprisingly, the earl plate fell again, and the target was directly at the issue price at the beginning of this month!

The stock market is linked.Such an unscrupulous plunge in the earl sector naturally led to the stock prices of other industries shrinking more or less, making those brick-and-mortar merchants who suffered from recklessness beat their chests and feet, and really hated Benson's 'troublesome' fleet marrow!

On the contrary, it is DuPont and other consortiums that focus on financial operations that make a lot of money in the stock market. The violent stock price fluctuations mean that more dealers and retail investors will liquidate their positions, and the money lost in liquidation, needless to say, is naturally All the banks controlled by them have digested it!

Morgan is a super consortium in the American financial circle.He should also have a share of this gluttonous feast.But it's a pity. JP Morgan fainted again at the close of trading yesterday (May 5). It is said that he was lying in the best hospital in Chicago all day on the 24th, unable to focus on the stock market.As the leader of the group, the Morgan family missed such a good opportunity to make a fortune in vain.

Of course.This 'money' is just a small amount of money to the Morgan family, and to them at this moment, no amount of money can compare to JP Morgan's health.

In addition, I would like to mention the Rockefeller family by the way. They followed J Rockefeller's advice and did not participate in the earl plate transaction on the 24th.

Really, what a slap!

We just said that the stock market volatility on the 23rd was once in a thousand years, it was too abnormal, and it will never happen again. Yesterday’s stock price change gave us a resounding slap in the face!Hey, fortunately our boss was not tempted by money and ordered us to wait and watch, otherwise, we might cry with JP Morgan now!

May 5 in San Francisco will also be spent in the afterglow of the setting sun, but Benson angrily tore off a piece of paper in his hand on the Gogol, staring at the shivering Kerim in front of him like a hawk. , grinding his back molars and asked: "You, you trash! I asked you to bring the Earl of Beihai, but what about you? You only brought back a note? Oh, change your mind." Yes, he changed his mind, he refused to board my battleship, this, what kind of situation is this?!"

If the scraps of paper were put together, it only expressed one meaning: Long Hao regretted it. After delaying for more than a day, he regretted not going on board with Kerim!

Kerim was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off, because he knew that the current situation was severe, and his immediate superior's patience might have reached its limit, and if he tried to defend himself, he might be forced to Maybe he took out his pistol!

If you want to blame, hey, you can only blame the Earl of Beihai for being too lazy!Yes, how can you be so shameless, you are a dignified British nobleman!

How can you go back on your word if you say good things?

At that time, Kerim questioned Long Hao in such a tone, but the answer he got was Long Hao's sneer: "Hey, accompany you on board? That's death. Do you think I will be so stupid to hand over my life In your hands? Hmph, if you can’t come up with any evidence to accuse me, get out of here, and tell Captain Benson that the good things he did here should be known to the whole of the United States by now, and he’ll just wait for the military to send someone to clean it up. Him! Hahaha..." [

Then, Kerim was driven out by the armed Dragon Scale Army.

"Okay, it turned out to be a tactic to delay the attack! There is no lower limit, this yellow-skinned boy, I swear to kill you!"

After realizing it, Benson was furious. Now he has only two ways to go. One is to find out the evidence of Long Hao's disappearance of the five destroyers, expose it to the media, and explain to the White House and the military department. Fremantle, ask him to send those isolated British sailors to manipulate naval guns to bombard the commercial harbor for the third time!Use violence to control violence and blow up the opponent!

Benson originally wanted to attack Long Hao quickly and quickly, but unexpectedly, Long Hao laid the telephone line in advance, summoned a large number of reporters, and spent [-] dollars to delay the time. Watching Benson's joke!

A big joke!

Wow, how dare you play tricks on me like this!

Benson was so angry that he cursed at the sky, thinking in his heart: I need to find evidence.It is basically impossible in a short time!This Earl of Beihai is as cunning as a fox, and he is not serious. I am afraid that there will be no chance to catch him again!If a few more days pass, he will clean up the property in San Francisco.I'm afraid I'm going to run away with oil on the soles of my feet!No, just bite the bullet and continue to bombard, put pressure on the city government of San Francisco and the maritime merchants in the harbor, and ask them to entangle the Earl of Beihai!

Decided to go all out, Benson went to find Freemante.Unexpectedly, he was rejected.

Freeman raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, it's going to be bombarded again? Little Benson, your idea is the same as a woman's idea of ​​choosing clothes. It changes very quickly!"

Benson apologized, and told about Long Hao's breach of the contract: "It's really that Dongfang boy is too cunning. If you don't hit him with a cannon, he won't be honest! General, please help me this time..."

Freeman shook the red wine, and the freshly picked flower petals were dipped in the red wine glass: "It's fine to shoot. But this time I want five times!"

"Five times what?"

"Five times the wear and tear fee! Little Benson. You just received a check yesterday. Do you want to keep it all to yourself?"

Damn Brit, you know money, money, money, this is an opportunity to blackmail!

Benson's face turned blue.Thinking about it, I was really reluctant to part with the [-] dollars that I just got.Then, he made up his mind that he could no longer be led by the nose by the money-greedy old fox Fremantle!

Paralyzed, I haven't settled with you for your random shooting, how dare you ask for money?Do you really think that Benson won't get angry?

So, Benson slammed the door and left: "I don't need you British help, isn't it just shooting? I will shoot slowly one by one. Anyway, this time I don't need precision. My men Although the sailors are good, they are enough for the female supporting role, Xian Ling!"

Now, it was the turn of Fremantle to drop the wine glass, and he was dumbfounded: Oh, I miscalculated, little Benson is going to risk his life, so it doesn’t matter if he is accurate or not, as long as he can hit the cannon, it will be considered a victory. Grass, grass, loss, big loss!If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to it.

Later, Freemantra took pride and ran to challenge Benson with a smile, but Benson sternly rejected them all.

Benson has made a decision. Tomorrow, when it is dawn, he will continue the bombardment of the ships that rested for the day—the third bombardment of the San Francisco Commercial Harbor!

5 month 26 day.

9:40am.

Outside San Francisco Commercial Harbor, the wind direction is 24° to the east, the wind force is level [-], and the sky is cloudy and rainy. It is a good day for shooting...

With a "bang", the main gun of the Gogol fired. This time, no matter what the precision strike was, it landed on a group of merchant ships!

When the gun fell, a French merchant ship was immediately unlucky!

10 points.

There was another "bang", and the main gun of the Quad Xia Leyan was also fired. This time, the winning bidder was an Italian merchant ship.

The two cannonballs hit two merchant ships with a [-]% hit rate. This is not because Benson's men are brave enough to manipulate the battleship's artillery skillfully, but because those merchant ships are packed too closely together. area, then there must be a merchant ship that will be unlucky!

Another undeclared bombardment, another powerful main gun, this time, Benson's fleet angered a heavyweight maritime merchant! !

France, this is a traditional powerful country known as the enemy of the army in the European continent. It is a little strange that the owner of the French merchant ship who suffered a disaster appeared very restrained. He did not cry like the owner of the Indonesian merchant ship who was shelled the day before yesterday , he maintained his demeanor, but just had to make a phone call. After dialing, he said a few words in French: "Is it the embassy or consulate? I am Wanger, and my merchant ship was bombed just now. Sen's fleet... I demand that the U.S. government immediately explain this and make twice the compensation, otherwise, I suggest that France take economic sanctions against the U.S.!"

The French maritime merchants were so aggressive, and the Italian maritime merchants did not show any weakness. The merchant ship owner named Pacini went directly to the old Stevenson: "Mayor, you saw that my ship was bombed. I am now I don't ask you to hand over the Earl of the North Sea. I only ask you to mobilize your army and warships, and drive this medieval fleet away from San Francisco! Restore the smooth sailing! Otherwise, I will suggest that all cities in this country, within a time limit Interrupt ocean trade with your San Francisco!"

Both of them are big names, one wants to impose sanctions, and the other wants to cut off contacts. Needless to say, the blockade crisis in San Francisco has received a new level of attention after this bombardment: it is about to develop from a sensational news in the United States to a new level. It's time for a big event that shakes the international community!

Under the swift action of the reporter specially arranged by Long Hao.This possibility is gradually becoming a reality. Benson's third bombardment lasted two hours and nine minutes, firing a total of five cannons and damaging three merchant ships.The whole process of sinking a merchant ship was photographed by desperate reporters, and then the brief was sent to Europe through the telegraph wire!

(Well. In this era, Europe is equal to the international community.)

The gunboat of the U.S. Navy destroyed the European merchant ship. Once such news is released, it will definitely attract the attention of all countries on that continent! !

Yes, the Dutch Indonesian merchant ship that was sunk on the 24th was not influential enough, but today, European merchant ships including France were the ones that were hit.Accusing the Benson Fleet of instigating international disputes is enough!

Benson probably didn't know how badly he had gone wrong.Or for some reason.Even if he knew that he might have angered Europe, he didn't care anymore!

Benson's call to withdraw troops', after the bombardment, he issued a semaphore: "San Francisco. If you still insist on sheltering the Earl of the North Sea, then such bombardment will be carried out every day. First, the merchant ships in the harbor, wait until three days later, It’s the pier, and in three days’ time, it’ll be downtown San Francisco! You have enough time to think about whether you must choose to be buried with the Earl of Beihai!”

Long Hao's response to such a heart-shattering semaphore was rich and powerful: "Every shipowner who has suffered losses, don't worry, since the bombardment was caused by me, Long Hao, I solemnly promise, Before this tyrannical fleet retreats, all the losses caused by the shelling will be borne by me!"

Long Hao's promise is not red lips and white teeth, but a real confidence. His confidence is a huge check issued by the Rothschild Bank with an upper limit of 3000 million pounds!With this check as a guarantee, I believe that no matter how picky foreign merchants are, they will feel relieved and retreat to downtown San Francisco with peace of mind, or simply take a train to go further away... Don't care if your merchant ship is bombed, anyway Everything has to be paid by the Earl of Beihai.

When Long Hao did this, Leland Stanford and others didn't quite understand: Why should Long Hao personally pay for the damage caused by the US Navy?

Isn't it too unfair to take such a big package?

The explanation given by Long Hao is: Now is not the time to care about this little money. The Benson fleet bombarded San Francisco through the transoceanic telegraph line, which has become a major event attracting international attention. San Francisco will become the focus of the world. Their performance will be studied under a magnifying glass, and the impact of every move will be multiplied!The generosity I showed at this time, and the sympathy and political points I got back in exchange are by no means reflected in the value of this little money itself!

At that time, I will stand on the commanding heights of morality and be sympathized by the whole world, and many things that are usually difficult to do will be able to take the opportunity to unfold smoothly!

Leland Stanford and the others didn't know Long Hao's plan. After listening to the explanation, although they still had doubts in their hearts, they couldn't persuade them anymore.

But they turned their heads and thought about it. Benson only has six battleships in total, and the cannons stored on them are not limited. According to him, he only fires about 5 rounds of bombing per day, which lasts for three days. The amount is limited, and the compensation is also limited.

After Long Hao's 'full compensation' statement was made, under the forceful mobilization of old Stevenson and other city officials and the Courier newspaper hosted by De Jong Wade, telegrams were sent across the United States in a short period of time, and through those French, Italian ship merchants transmitted the news to the European continent through transoceanic telegraph lines.

It is conceivable that, as Long Hao expected, his actions will attract so much attention and earn him extra points in this bombardment crisis!

In fact, under the influence of this 'full compensation' statement, subtle changes occurred in the U.S. stock market in the following days: Because of Long Hao's charitable deeds and the huge check of 3000 million pounds that scared people to death, the five major exchanges ( San Francisco also took this opportunity to be framed in advance), the stock price of Earl's plate stocks can barely stop falling, and under the operation of caring people, it even seems to have a rising trend!

Of course, this kind of reaction will not be tolerated by DuPont and other financial consortiums. Anyway, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to set off a wave of skyrocketing surge that no one expected as it did on the 23rd and 24th...

Well, let’s ignore the reaction of the U.S. stock market and countries around the world to this big event, and focus on San Francisco.

After all, this is the main battlefield, and it is the key that determines the development of this major event.

When the old Stevenson and the others expected more assistance from Europe and the White House, on May 5th and 27th, Benson fulfilled his promise and led six battleships to bombard the harbor again. A total of 28 shots were fired, and the result was that 12 ships were damaged and 5 ships were sunk.

Among the sunk ships, one of them was one of Long Hao's three modified training ships!

At this time, the ocean-going merchant ships of various countries and...Long Hao's four warships were moored in the commercial seaport. Because they were blocked from the sea, they were living targets in their respective berths. Benson's American sailors were shooting business No matter how poor the ability is, a blind cat can run into a dead mouse and sink some ships.

The modified training ship under Long Hao's command that hung the Spanish flag was an unlucky 'dead mouse'.
