Alchemy Greater China

They are all desperadoes invited by these sea merchants and local tycoons. After yesterday's baptism, now is the time when the murderous spirit is in full swing. Anyone with a discerning eye can predict that a squad of expeditionary forces in the district may not be able to resist. Their siege!

The battle in the courtyard was about to break out, but the Chinese people watching outside the courtyard didn't know it. Most of them were still standing on tiptoe, lamenting in their hearts that they were one step too late, and let these vicious foreigners rush over... It seems that the value of Master Long Liancheng's big gold brick is about to be lost!

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the yard, like the fried beans next door, or like a spring silkworm biting a mulberry leaf, which made my heart feel flustered.

A boy with pigtails asked naively, "Mother, what are you doing in there? Do you want fried jelly beans for us to eat?"

"Eat, eat, you know how to eat!"

With a sound of 'fart', a slap was slapped on the fair face, and our major general Miller, with a leaky mouth, was furious.

Speechless, do you want to scold me after breakfast?

The white investigator who was slapped innocently covered half of his cheek, with a few grains of rice still hanging from the corner of his mouth: paralyzed, after the major general’s teeth fell out, it became increasingly difficult for others to eat well, It seems that it is not safe to eat in this temporary canteen in the future, and I have to secretly call back to the house to eat by myself.

Major General Miller was standing in a small cafeteria that was temporarily remodeled next to the commercial pier, showing off his authority. The food here was good, all built with local rich people using resources, including beef, milk, and fried chicken...

Major General Miller didn't know that his good days were coming to an end. He just felt that his mouth was getting more and more itchy recently, and the teeth on the other half seemed to be loose.

There are many reasons for boredom.For example, those parades did not listen to the command of their own federal major general;

For example, Benson has been refusing to enter Hong Kong, so he sent troops to capture the Earl of Beihai in order to avenge his revenge;

For example, the 338e division will take three days to arrive. Before that, I have to hold on to the scene as a bare-handed commander...

The pain of not having soldiers at hand.Major General Miller has had enough. If there are soldiers, he will not let those sea merchants and local rich people have any parades. Knowing what happened, more than 100 people died for no reason!

This group of idiots, if these illegal armed forces are handed over.Under my command, I can now defeat that seemingly useless expeditionary force, defeat that embroidered pillow-like police force, grass, catch the Earl of Beihai in front of me like a little chicken, and then I will use nine Nine 81 ways to slap him in the face until he has not a single tooth left!a ha ha ha……

Major General Miller is there yy.The members of the special investigation team in the entire temporary cafeteria quit: Hey, why didn't you follow up after you slapped everyone for nothing?this breakfast.Should we keep eating, or not?Can you give me a letter?

"Major General, if you have anything to say, just say it. Everyone has been sitting on the pier these days and hasn't had a good rest. It's not wrong to have some breakfast!" It was Paul who stopped Miller's delusion.Pull this major general missing half of his mouth back to reality.

"Oh, of course it's not wrong to have breakfast!" Major General Miller snorted after waking up, "I'm referring to another thing. Those parades went out again early this morning. Do you all know why?"

The members of the special investigation team listened.Half of them know, and the other half really don't know.

Fortunately, Major General Miller didn't let the half who didn't know to ask the other half who knew. He slapped the dining table and said loudly: "Hmph, those profiteers received the news that the Earl of Beihai showed up at the city hall early in the morning, not only Showed up, and let out a word, put a [-]-ton big gold brick to Chinatown! Those profiteers, with their accomplices, holding their unlicensed guns, were going to parade on the surface, but secretly, I rushed to Chinatown a long time ago to grab that big gold brick!"

20 tons of big gold bricks? !

Who is not surprised?Who does not like?

The half of the people in the investigation team who didn't know knew it now, so they stopped chewing the rice in their mouths and looked at Miller with their necks straight: What rice, such a good thing?We represent the military department and have a high status. Why don't we share a share of the pie?

20 tons of gold, let me do the math, how much is that?

However, Paul was among the half of the people who knew about it a long time ago. After Major General Miller finished speaking, Paul sighed and said, "Major General, I have known this news for a long time, but this matter is too strange, and I am afraid of fraud! And , Major General, have you ever thought that with such a small number of people, we may not be able to share the gold bricks with the past, but will easily become cannon fodder! Hey, it would be great if the 338e division arrived now!"

Major General Miller took this very seriously, but since he dared to come to the cafeteria to make a fuss, he naturally had something to rely on. He took out a telegram from his arms, and his brows were a little smug: "This is just from the White House. According to the telegram, the Queen Mother Cristina of Spain has already stated her position to the Congress. She represents Spain and does not recognize the legitimacy of the San Francisco expeditionary force, that is to say, even if we attack them, we don’t need to be charged with war against Spain!”

Strictly speaking, the news that Major General Miller said can only be regarded as half good news: Although the Spanish Empress Dowager does not recognize the legitimacy of the expeditionary force, when the US Army and the expeditionary force are hostile, there is no need to consider that it will trigger War on a national level, but the problem is...

"Major General, we have no soldiers on hand!"

Paul pointed out the key point with a clear mind: "Even if the Spanish government declares the expeditionary force to be illegal, it's still... unrealistic to make them give up defending the Earl of the North Sea based on this alone?"

"I didn't say I want them to give up protecting that damned Yellow Earl!"

Miller snorted, and said a little proudly: "Everyone, my goal is the gold brick, the big gold brick placed in Chinatown! I guess, the Earl of Beihai is as timid as a mouse, and he will definitely not go to Chinatown in person Therefore, it must be the expeditionary force that protects the big gold brick, Paul, you said we took this telegram to find those profiteers with illegal arms, do they want to cooperate with me?"

When Miller said this, the talents in the cafeteria suddenly realized: ah, praise, you are indeed our team leader, and you have 'shared' with a telegram.It is quite feasible to share a cup of the big golden brick's soup!

Major General, you should have said earlier, why do we have breakfast, hurry up and go to Chinatown!It's best to take out this telegram when those profiteers are fighting with the expeditionary army, so that the benefits gained... can be even greater!

It must be admitted that Major General Miller's ability to see through stitches is still very good.And just when he was leading the special investigation team and was about to go to Chinatown to grab a piece of the pie, a piece of good news fell from the sky again, which made his mouth crooked with joy.

Two small boats came into the sea port, and about 50 soldiers in awkward American uniforms got off the board. As soon as they landed, a fat old man with a strong British taste shouted loudly: "Who is that?" General Miller? Where is General Miller... Hehe, we are sent by Benson's fleet. Here are 58 marine soldiers. They are special assistance from Benson. They can help you defeat the earl's thugs and clean up the chaos in San Francisco. to bring the cruel and cunning Earl of Beihai to justice..."

There was too much wind and waves at the seaside, and the old man's words didn't get into Miller's ears much, but Major General Miller understood one thing: This, this is a great happy event!Haha, I have military power, and with military power, I can dig out more gold from those profiteers!Whoa whoa.My lovely gold!

When Miller came to San Francisco, he was not only responsible for defusing the bombing crisis.To increase the capital for political career in the military, and more importantly... it is because he heard that the Earl of Beihai is rich, and he plans to come here to make a fortune and earn a lot of money!

Now, it was so easy to wait until the Earl of Beihai made a foolish move and released a large gold brick worth tens of millions of dollars.If Miller missed it, he would absolutely crush the other half of his teeth with regret!

Major General Miller narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, pulled the old man with his authentic London accent aside, and said in a low voice, "You are General Fremantle? The British Navy under his command?"

"Hehe, it's no wonder that the U.S. Army sent you, General Miller, to handle this matter." The old man chuckled, nodded and admitted: "I am Fremantle, and I dare not call you a general. This time, I am an invisible man. If you don't make it public, try not to make it public..."

Keep quiet?

Rear Admiral Miller glanced at the 58 British sailors with expressions of desire and dissatisfaction, feeling suspicious: Why don't you stay on the battleship and bring your men ashore?Could it be that you want to break it up, prove your innocence, and walk back to England from land?

Miller's conjecture is of course a joke. As long as the Gogol and other six ironclad battleships stand in the sea, Fremantle, who is in charge of them, will not be able to escape the responsibility, and will be questioned by the Queen sooner or later.

At this moment, Fremantle approached, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Earl is exhibiting... a big gold brick?"

Gold bricks... even you know?

Do you know that the people in your tm are still on the ship?

Major General Miller glanced at his subordinates, and twisted his nose in anger: Look, how eager others are for money and how well-informed they are, unlike you, they just know how to eat, eat, eat!What the fuck, did we come all the way (coast to coast) just to get fried chicken in San Francisco?

After venting in his stomach, Miller smiled and said to Fremantle: "The general is well-informed, and I admire him so much. As far as I know, it is true. Well, the parade team stationed here just now went out one by one. , if there is no accident, they should have gone to the exhibition site of the big gold brick."

Fremantle rolled his triangular eyes, chuckled, and asked, "Parade? They should only shout slogans, what are they going to do to find the big gold brick? In my opinion, such a huge and rare gold brick should be the Earl of the North Sea who bribed the officials." , Evidence of violent expropriation, such important evidence should be in the hands of the U.S. Department of Defense! In other words, I think such an important amount of stolen money must be placed in the hands of the impartial and impartial General Miller in order to let Everyone is at ease!"

This is the first time that Fremantle and Miller have met, and 'impartiality' is both a compliment and a hint to Miller.

With the IQ of a major general, Miller understood the hint quickly, and then responded with his own opinion: "Well, General Fremantle is right. Those parades should really abide by their duties and shout slogans. That's fine, there are too many people in the parade. If they are used by some sneaky people, they will easily lose control and cause a great threat to the innocent citizens of San Francisco! The general just got off the boat. Maybe you don't know yet? Yesterday's parade happened There were many conflicts, many people were killed and injured, and there were many tragedies! Well, there are many innocent people's bodies piled up in that warehouse, which really makes me feel sad!"

Fremantle's face was straightened.Throwing his fists, he said, "How can this be done? Force should be in the hands of state agencies. Now that San Francisco's city government is rotten, then this right should be exercised by General Miller. Don't worry, I absolutely support it. You, order, order all the people in the parade to put down their guns and accept command! Anyone who shoots again can be regarded as deliberate murder!"

"Yes. It's so true!"

Miller clapped his hands and praised: "Unfortunately, it will take a few days for the reinforcements from the military department to arrive in San Francisco. I am determined to kill the enemy now, and I am powerless. I don't have enough strength in my hands. I am afraid that those illegal armed forces will not be able to do so in the face of the huge temptation of money." Won't take orders from me..."

"Haha, what difficulty do I take!"

Freemante smirked, and said: "Look. These 58 soldiers are the most heroic... well, the U.S. Navy! They are all fast... sharpshooters. Everyone can fight three or more with one enemy. , the golden gun will not fall... I will let them obey your command, and I believe that with their help, those immoral and illegal armed forces will collapse without a fight!"

Miller heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegance, and immediately understood, and reciprocated: "The general really understands the righteousness. If you and I cooperate sincerely, we will be able to firmly hold the stolen money of the Earl of Beihai's crime. At that time, on behalf of the Federation, I will definitely not I will forget the general's help. I will give you a certain amount of..."

"The specific allocation will be discussed after the gold bricks are in hand!"

Freemante smiled like an old fox, and waved his hand: "It's not too late, let's set off right away? If we go late and get caught by those unscrupulous people holding parade flags, it will be extremely bad... ..."

"Yes, it's not too late, let's go now!"

Major General Miller called Paul and introduced him: "This is my adjutant, Paul... He is very familiar with the terrain of San Francisco. Let him lead the way, and we can save a lot of time!"

In this way, Fremantle led the group of dissatisfied British sailors, mixed with Miller's special investigation team, put their weapons on their backs, took a big stride, and headed straight for Chinatown.

Let me add a word here. If General Fremantle was able to win the opportunity to go ashore this time, he also gave Colonel Benson a few small steps in exchange for it.

In order to avoid the tragedy of a rectal rupture among his subordinates, Fremantle reluctantly gave Benson two free shells in exchange for the opportunity to land this time.

In the beginning, Fremantle didn't think about getting rich, he just wanted to take his men ashore to relieve the fire, but who would have thought that if Fremantle thought about other people's chrysanthemums, the luck bestowed by God would not be bad.

No, just after departure, Fremantle learned about the 'big gold brick' from Kerim, and he shouted lucky, thinking to himself: This big gold brick must belong to me, Fremantle Yes, this is the wealth God bestowed on me, and no one can take it away!Otherwise, why did that idiot earl throw this big gold brick just after I decided to go ashore?Hahaha!Go ashore to shoot guns, land to grab money!

Naturally, after Captain Benson knew about it, he was so depressed that he slammed his feet and vented it on Kerim who kindly ran back to report...

Fremantle and Miller, two guys who coveted the big gold brick, were probably a step too late, so they ran very hard, not at all like an old man or a wounded number.

It's a short journey from the Commercial Wharf to Chinatown, about eight streets away.

After yesterday's parade conflicts and bloody tragedies, the usually bustling streets are now very deserted. Occasionally, one or two homeless people come out to pick up junk. When they see the murderous Fremantle and Miller's 'United Army', they all Frightened, he rolled into the side alley, trembling: Where did this team come from again?It doesn't look like the police, and it doesn't look like those Spanish soldiers. Oh, is San Francisco really invaded?

In some high-rise buildings in a certain block, light that ordinary people cannot perceive is reflected behind small windows.It was the spies of the SS regiment stationed on the main roads near the pier, and the reflected dark light was the eyeballs of these spies.

Watching more than 70 "United Army" running past with guns on their backs, behind the window, a spy put down his long gun and said with a little doubt: "Which team is this? It doesn't look like those miscellaneous thugs." !"

"It looks like it's a U.S. Navy uniform, but I'm not sure, team leader, do you want to report this situation to Gao Tuan?"

"Is there anything to report?"

The team leader's lazy voice sounded: "I know the leader with the gauze on his face, he is Major General Miller who had half of his face slapped off by the young master a few days ago. They are all heading towards Chinatown! According to the order, we don’t care about the people going there, just let them go and make trouble!"

"Hey, don't you care if you go to Chinatown?"

The spy who spoke first was a little puzzled, and asked, "Team leader, Chinatown is full of our compatriots. If we let all these foreigners with guns go, will there be big trouble?"

The group leader smiled meaningfully: "What about the compatriots? Have you seen those compatriots come out to support us these days? It's not as good as a few university students... Hey, if you want to say that the young master usually gives to Chinatown There are also a lot of benefits, but tell me, are there still many compatriots with braids on their heads? This time, I am not afraid to tell you that Gaotuan means to make the trouble as big as possible, so that these people want to shrink their heads , Compatriots on both sides who don’t want to offend, look at how these foreigners are going crazy and how they treat them!” (To be continued..)
