Alchemy Greater China

Long Hao's question was more reasonable, and the reporters in the audience thought: Yes, you have said so much, but you still haven't explained how you escaped, right?

"I, I... I, I was saved!"

Paul blushed, and it took him a long time to answer.

"Who saved it?"

Long Hao smiled: "According to what you just said, your ships sank at that time, and your comrades in arms also died. How can anyone save you?"

"...Yes, it was a passing merchant ship. They witnessed all this, Great Demon King. At that time, you thought that all the sailors were killed, and you were concerned about the countries behind the passing merchant ships, so you didn't continue to bombard those merchant ships. !"

"Oh, can you point out which merchant ship 'that' saved you? Is it in this port?"

After hearing this, Long Hao laughed even more happily: "All the merchant ships coming to San Francisco are moored in this port, so tell me, in that case, you will have more convincing witnesses! Paul, tell me, let us see See how far you can make up and what kind of lies you can make up!"

"I didn't make it up!" [

Paul blushed, but it made his original pale face feel a little more real: "But I, I can't tell who this merchant is!"

"why?"

Long Hao smiled happily.

"Because I'm afraid of your revenge!"

Paul gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, you threatened the merchant fleet of this merchant. If anyone dares to rescue our sailors, they will also be sunk into the sea to feed the fish!"

The audience was unusually quiet, so although Paul's words were not loud, they reached the ears of most people... including Chinica Bonella!

After the beautiful Mrs. Caponera understood it, her beautiful face under the tulle turned white. Paul couldn't be more clear about what he said.The one who rescued and sheltered this American sailor... must be a member of her family!

Because of the naval battle that day, apart from the three merchant ships of the Caponella family, the witnesses were only a few foreign merchant ships a little further away, but those merchant ships were far away, and there was no chance to rescue the American sailors... ...so, forget it.There must be something wrong on my side, and to a large extent, the people on the Callejon sheltered the sailor!

Because, the Callejon was hijacked by the group of American sailors at that time, and it is unclear how many sailors boarded the ship, and the subsequent clean-up work, Long Hao may have done it to save face for Chinica Bonner, and it was not very thorough. , there are many dead ends on board, if there is an internal response.It's easy to hide one or two people!

Chini figured it out, and she knew that Long Hao must also understand it. When she thought of the horror and strength of that young master Long, Chini's heart trembled, and she felt an urge to rush up to the stage and explain everything to Long Hao.

When Qi Ni was struggling and thinking about the possible candidates for the "internal traitor"... the mysterious man who hid Paul privately and released him to bite Long Hao at this critical moment also drummed in his heart: I shouldn't have What are you showing off?Hide this sailor.Including providing him with food for these days, I have not personally come forward.That's right, there must be no lies, even if he wants to confess to me, he can't do it, at most he insists on our Caponera family!Hey, and is this important?The Earl of Beihai must know it well by now!The Earl of Beihai, the Earl of Beihai.You have done such a big thing, do you still want to stitch it together?

That mysterious man obviously had a deep grudge against Long Hao. After he calmed down, he relaxed the tense muscles in the back of his neck, and looked at Long Hao on the stage gloatingly: You are so bold.Hit and sank five ships of the U.S. Navy, and now others are bringing the most powerful gunboats to take revenge, hum, I choose to release this sailor at this critical moment, I think you will have a headache, and even a careless Just ruin your reputation, hahaha, if you dare to attack my Caponera family...

The mysterious man was secretly complacent, and the conversation between Long Hao and Paul on the stage did not stop.

"Why do you want to accuse me of crimes? Hehe, you didn't mention the name of the merchant, and you said you were afraid of my retaliation. You are justified whether it turns out to be positive or negative?" Long Hao shook his head, without any panic: "Mr. Paul, your logic is really amazing!"

"It's not that I can't say it, but I can't say it here!" Paul was so ridiculed by Long Hao that his chin was completely red, and he waved his hands, trying to reverse his passive situation. [

"Where should I say it?"

"Follow me to our flagship, once I say something there, you won't have time to take revenge on that businessman!" Paul said, "Otherwise, I said it here, and you will kill that businessman later, That way, no one can testify against you!"

Even though Paul's previous performance was neurotic, he said these words at a very high level, so high that even Klim was overjoyed and impressed by him.

Yes, using this sentence to run against the Earl of Beihai, so that he had to board the Gogol to prove his innocence, and if any business in San Francisco encounters misfortune, the scapegoat can also be pinned on the Earl of Beihai !

Wonderful, wonderful!

Who would have thought that Paul, a good-for-nothing, would be able to speak such level words. Is he out of wisdom, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger on purpose, or just a flash of inspiration?

"After all, you still want me to board your boat!" Long Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm surprised, since I'm such a heinous person in your mouth, I have to bear hundreds of Human life, hehe, as the highest officer of those "wronged souls"... Colonel Benson, why didn't he dare to go ashore and confront me face-to-face? He went around and tried to trick me into boarding his boat, boo , The taste of conspiracy in this is too strong, everyone come to comment, can I just put my family and life in the hands of such a navy captain with questionable morals?"

"No, of course not!"

"If you want to talk, talk on the shore!"

"Strongly object to Benson hiding his head and showing his tail, dare to shoot, but dare not show his head?"

Some of the reporters under the stage were arranged by Long Hao, and some were neutral reporters with sympathy and a sense of justice. As soon as Long Hao incited them, they immediately shouted, and it was very likely that Kerim would take Paul back The posture of going to sea.

The public opinion was difficult, Kerim turned pale, and was about to leave in despair.Suddenly, three gunshots rang out from the periphery!

The sound of gunfire was clear and loud. After it passed by, the noisy group of reporters suddenly fell silent: Who is so ignorant, and finally no naval guns flew over to bombard them.It's rare to be quiet, who did you shoot to scare?

Not angry, but the group of reporters still sensibly moved out of the way, only to see the San Francisco police clearing the way, followed by a group of people in dazzling military uniforms.

There were less than twenty people in this group, but all of them had their faces upturned, their chins almost covering their eyes, and they looked arrogant, but those in dazzling military uniforms recognized it: it should be the uniform of the US military.Judging from the epaulettes, this group of people's positions are not low!

The one who fired the gun just now was one of this group of people. He squinted, glanced at the side with disdain, and then put away the pistol as if nothing happened, as if the three shots fired just now were just an insignificant matter to him. things.

The San Francisco police leading the way looked very angry and naive: they shot on their territory, but they couldn't blame themselves.Who let the other party's background, this feeling of aggrieved.I can only stay in my heart.

The group of people from the U.S. military took a few steps, and old Stevenson got out with a smile on his face: "Major General Miller, why are you here? Could it be that you didn't sleep well in the hotel I arranged ?Hey, there is no other way. San Francisco has been bombed for several days. Everyone is not in the mood to do things, so the efficiency of work and services has dropped!"

That Major General Miller had a square face, and his uprightness seemed to be written on his facial features.He said coldly: "We are taking taxpayers' money, and taxpayers' work efficiency can be reduced, but as civil servants under the jurisdiction of the Federation, even if we are bombed to death, our efficiency must remain the same as before!"

Good guy, this sentence is so blunt, it doesn't give Mayor Stevenson any face at all!

Who is this Major General Miller?

The reporter who was nearby listened to the conversation between the two men, and secretly clicked his tongue, and couldn't help guessing the intention of the group of military personnel headed by Miller.

"Yes, I was negligent, or Major General Miller has great insight!"

Old Stevenson laughed and stayed by Miller's side.

"Hmph, it's very lively here, what are you doing? Why didn't we notify our special investigation team?"

Major General Miller didn't follow the courtship of old Stevenson, but looked at the table surrounded by reporters, and asked with a little sarcasm.

Special investigation team!

The word immediately flew into the ears of sharp-eared reporters, and they spread word of mouth, and soon learned what this 'special investigation team' was about.

It has long been rumored that the White House and the military have reached an agreement to send special personnel to resolve the shelling crisis, and the 'special personnel' leading this reconciliation operation is the special investigation team!

I didn't expect that not only did they come so quickly, but their whereabouts were kept so secret. If they hadn't jumped out today, we would have been kept in the dark, not knowing that they had already arrived in San Francisco!These reporters scrambled to share the news, but at the same time felt ashamed and ashamed of their duties.

While the reporters were desperately digesting this rather surprising news, Miller and his party had already walked under the stage. General Miller straightened his officer's hat and said loudly: "I am Major General Miller, the leader of the special investigation team. , now under the order of the White House and the military department, I will take over all the affairs of the commercial seaport, what are you doing there? What are your names, tell me one by one!"

Miller’s yelling is clearly a warning. It’s understandable for you to say that you don’t know Paul, but the Earl of Beihai and Kerim have been prominent figures in major newspapers in the past week. Don't care about the shelling crisis, otherwise it would be impossible not to know these two people.

And as the leader of the special investigation team, might Miller not care about the bombardment crisis?

The answer is naturally no!

Damn, he was originally responsible for mediating and came to resolve this crisis, so he was just looking for trouble!

"I'm Griffin Kerim, and his name is Paul..." Major General Miller's name shocked Kerim, the captain was taken aback, and immediately reported himself.

However, Long Hao smiled lightly, ignoring this major general who felt good about himself: what kind of onion is he, and he deserves to be registered by a dignified royal earl?

Major General Miller led his subordinates and walked up to the stage. There were nearly 20 more people on the originally small stage, and it immediately became very crowded.

This is convenient for the reporters below. A single photo can 'catch all' this special investigation team.

Miller's eyes were like sharp knives, and he stared at Long Hao: "What's your name? Why don't you reply. Are you dumb?"

Long Hao snorted and retorted: "Everyone knows who I am, only the blind and deaf don't know!"

Major General Miller's eyes flashed coldly: "Your teeth are sharp, I have written down your attitude, and this will be used as an important reference. Report to the White House and the military!"

Long Hao did not show any weakness: "You can only report, right? These naval officers in front of you are all accomplices in the bombardment of San Francisco. Captain Miller, do you dare to arrest them?"

The members of the special investigation team didn't respond to Long Hao's reminder. On the contrary, the faces of Kerim and other naval officers changed, and some people who were impatient were already drawing their guns.

Miller's marble-like stiff face twitched, and he snorted: "I do things. I don't need you, a famous rat, to make irresponsible remarks! The bombardment incident was sent out by your San Francisco media from beginning to end. Whether it is true or false remains to be seen. Make sure, as the leader of the special investigation team, I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will not listen to your one-sided words! Who to arrest, or who not to arrest, is up to you laymen to dictate!"

Major General Miller's words.It can be said that the reporters present and the San Francisco city government were framed and scolded as soon as this sentence came out.The crowned king below was in an uproar.

They have fully enjoyed the taste of dominance in the past few days, and their confidence is bursting. This Major General Miller, why should he question our report?Dare to mock us for being in the way?

On stage and off stage, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger... Ironically, the special investigation team was originally here to resolve the crisis.But now, they seem to be lighting a powder keg.

At this time, it was the old Stevenson who ran out to smooth things over and extinguished the sparks: "Hehe, this is the Earl of Beihai. He was involved in the bombing incident. But he did a lot for San Francisco, and he took it all on his own. The losses caused by the bombardment have shared a lot of pressure on our city government! He is the earl, you are the major general, and both of them are big figures with extraordinary identities. The gunboats retreat and let us restore normal order in San Francisco..."

Old Stevenson beat him repeatedly, directing the blame on Kerim and the others.

Major General Miller didn't seem to like this, he ignored the mayor, and didn't order to control Kerim and others, but rolled his eyes: "Oh, Earl of Beihai, the dog of the lower races Shit luck guy..."

"What did you say?!"

After hearing this, several Dragon Scale Army soldiers below were furious, and raised their spears.

This Miller insulted Long Hao and even the Chinese nation behind him. How could the Dragon Scale Army from Huaxia Town bear it?

Kill, kill, whoever he is, a major general!

"Wait a minute, don't be impulsive!"

Long Hao smiled coldly in his heart, waved his hand to stop the Dragon Scale Army below, and tilted his head to look at Miller: "Major General, I've written down your words, hehe, it's useless for you to apologize, I will let you apologize for your rude words." paid for it."

"Hey, good, are you threatening me?"

Major General Miller was not afraid at all, but laughed out loud, his stiff cheeks twitched, and his smile was as ugly as a zombie: "I made a note, your threat, I will write it down in the report... ..."

Miller has a 'investigation' on the left and a 'report' on the right, bringing bureaucracy to its peak.

Long Hao didn't quarrel with him, and Major General Miller also turned the conversation to Kerim: "Captain Kerim, what are you doing here? And you've called so many newspaper sellers to watch? I ask You explain immediately!"

Miller did not regard himself as an outsider at all, and directly regarded Kerim as a subordinate and asked questions.

And Kerim also likes this kind of thing very much. He vaguely feels that this so-called special investigation team seems to be leaning on his side!

"Reporting to the Major General, we have found a witness, this Paul..."

Kerim pulled himself together and reported to Miller everything that happened in the press conference just now.

Not to mention, this Captain Kerim has a really good memory, and he can remember almost every conversation between Paul and Long Hao.

During the whole process, Long Hao kept his hands behind his back, with an innocent smile on his face, and let Kerim finish the story.

It took about 15 minutes for Kerim to stop and finally make a 'closing statement': "...Paul is an old sailor at our Seattle Naval Base, and we absolutely believe what he said, and this time we I came to San Francisco to investigate the whereabouts of the five destroyers, and now all the evidence points to the Earl of Beihai, he is the biggest suspect! I implore the major general, let us bring him back to the ship for further interrogation!"

When Miller was listening to Kerim's statement, his eyes were squinted, as if he was asleep, so that others could not see the emotion in his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Get on the boat?" Can you prove that the Earl of Beihai is guilty?"

Kerim immediately replied: "Yes, Paul told me just now, as long as the safety of the businessman who rescued him is guaranteed, he is sure to invite him to testify!"

"Is that so..."

Major General Miller elongated his tone, then turned his head to look at Long Hao, and pointed out: "In that case, you and Captain Kerim go on board for investigation!"
