[384] Qualifications for Expeditionary Forces

Major General Miller said: "Of course I saw it, hum, if it wasn't for that heavy machine gun getting in the way, you probably would have disappeared with the gold bricks long ago, right?"

"Hey, hey, if you want to go, you should go back to the pier to announce the good news to the general..."

Several profiteers were thick-skinned, rubbing their hands together, not even the slightest bit embarrassed when they spoke nonsense.

"okay!"

Major General Miller waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care about the past. As long as you cooperate with me from now on, I will be [-]% sure to remove this gold brick. Do you want to do it or not?"

"……Dry!"

How could the leaders of the "profiteering" businessmen have any reason not to agree, and they laughed and said: "Actually, the general does not need to worry, as long as the gold bricks can be surrounded to death in this consulate today, when the general's reinforcements arrive, then it's not..."

They smiled wickedly and made a gesture of 'catch a turtle in a urn'.

Waiting for reinforcements? [

338e division?

At that time, although the catching of turtles was more stable, there were also many more bastards who shared the bastard meat!

Miller felt cold in his heart, and shook his head on the surface: "Don't wait, waiting for reinforcements is the next best strategy! The best time to win is today, hey, you cooperated well, and there will naturally be a lot of profit afterwards!"

Wealth is in danger!

The leaders of several "profiteering" businessmen blinked Mung Dou's small eyes. They all knew Ye Changmengduo's words. Since the major general with a crooked mouth in front of him is so sure, and he is not the one who charged, why bother to say something that will make everyone unhappy? ?

So they nodded: "The general is right, everything depends on the general!"

In this way, the two sides worked hand in hand, reached an agreement, and made a plan to swallow up this gold brick worth tens of millions.

Major General Miller tidied up his appearance.He wiped off the gauze on his cheeks, pushed aside the British sailors, walked to the yellow line, and shouted: "I am Major General Miller of the Federation. The disappearance of the sailor and other matters. This gold brick belongs to the Earl of Beihai, so, is the Earl of Beihai here?"

Major General Miller had just recovered from his mouth injury, and his volume was not too loud, but after he finished speaking.The huge courtyard immediately became noisy, and even the noisy reporters were quiet, only the branches and leaves of a few old shade trees remained.

hiss!

Major General Miller spoke loudly. Some time ago, he only suspected that the Earl of the North Sea had sunk a few American warships. Now he announced in a grand manner that he bribed officials and embezzled American wealth... Is this the rhythm of ransacking his home?

Is the parade not going on?

We're going to see you now, could it be that Division 338e arrived early?

People who are stuck in the yard.None of them were short-sighted. Miller's words immediately allowed them to figure out the intentions of this short-talking major general and the possible situation now.

Some of the journalists were impatient, and after realizing it, they wanted to ask: Major General, do you have evidence?If there is evidence, we must first show it to our media!However, he caught a glimpse of a serious and tense atmosphere around him.In the end, he shrank his courage and didn't ask. [

"Is the Earl of Beihai here?...is he there?...isn't he here?"

It was still Miller's one-man show alone in the yard, and his voice was reverberating, but it was so strange that no one answered.

Miller squinted in all directions and stopped talking. Paul understood and asked, "Where is the person in charge of the consulate? Come out and answer. Is the Earl of Beihai here?"

"Ahem, the Earl of Beihai didn't come. But he sent a representative."

Ouyang Ming cursed Long Ganruo in his heart, stroked his sweating forehead and went out to answer. At the same time, he also intended to kill Long Ganruo who pretended to be deaf and dumb with sharp eyes: Hey, I'm looking for you Master.How can you act like a human being?

Paul asked, "Where's the representative?"

"It's him, Mr. Long Gan Ruolong!"

Ouyang Ming sold the dragon pole without hesitation, and saw a yellow-faced young man sitting on a stone bench in a corner of the courtyard, with green willows and a fan, looking at his nose and heart with his eyes. Sit quietly as if you are a person.

Yes, he is Long Ganruo, who was sent here by Long Hao this time, not to keep this big gold brick, but to watch the excitement and not be afraid of big things, hoping to make this matter as big as possible!

Before Long Ganruo came, he objected to this. When it comes to making troubles, he is so righteous and pure, but he is far inferior to the treacherous and cunning Gao Tianyang, why didn't he send him here!

In this regard, Gao Tianyang has something to say, a large group of us have business to do!But you, who only serve as nanny for those meritorious old townspeople, who else will you send?

Ever since, Long Ganruo became the young master's representative very depressed, and came here to pretend to be two hundred and five!

"Mr. Long, you represent the Earl of Beihai?" Paul twitched his eyebrows, feeling very uncertain when he had seen such a calm and calm person.

If you think about it, if such a big gold brick is placed in the middle of the yard, the guardian should be on pins and needles and restless, so... this young Chinese man is not Ou Yangming's casual scapegoat, right?

"Well, it can represent, porphyrin."

Long Ganruo has been doing infrastructure construction in Huaxia Town all year round, and his reputation is not obvious. Now that the officer named Paul asked a question, he nodded and didn't get up. Instead, he turned his upper and lower lips and spit out a piece of melon seed shell.

Long Ganruo's move almost overwhelmed Paul!

Even the reporters who were watching the fun thought it was too much: Oh, this is a top product, how could the Earl of Beihai send such a person to take care of the gold bricks?The chief of the U.S. Navy asked you something, you are so good, don't you even bother to lift your butt?Still spitting out melon seeds?

"I come."

Major General Miller pushed Paul away, smiled lightly, and said to Long Ganruo, "Okay, since you can represent the Earl of Beihai, then... I want to move this big gold brick now, do you agree?"

Miller's words are so direct that they are almost naked, but this is not because of Miller's arrogance, but because he knows how to deal with such lazy people, that is, straight to the point, pointing directly at each sentence. The point is to "force" him to nod or shake his head, then no matter how tired he is, he won't be able to catch his head.

"Move away?"

Long Ganruo was really taken aback, and murmured: "Why do you move away? This is exhibited by my young master to show my young master's strong solvency. You, you, you. What qualifications do you have to move away?"

Look, he was really in a hurry.

Miller was secretly complacent, as if Long Ganruo was in a hurry to get angry, it was like he slapped Long Hao in the face!

Complacent, Major General Miller smiled more freely and coldly: "This Mr. Long, is it not clear what I just said? Why should I? I rely on the rights granted to me by the Federation, and now I have sufficient reasons I suspect that the origin of this gold brick is related to the loss of a large amount of federal property in San Francisco, so I want to move it away and seal it up to be used as evidence to convict the Earl of Beihai in the future! Hehe. Did I understand enough? "

What Miller said was clear, and the reporter next to him understood even more: Good guy, this big gold brick is coveted, and the major general of the military department can't help but want to keep it for himself!Shoot, shoot them all, this is big news on the front page!

'Kacha Kacha'.There was a sound of cameras in the yard, and Miller just sneered in his heart: shoot, shoot, after I get the big gold brick, I will take care of you reporters, photos?camera?I confiscated them all!

"Understood……"

Long Ganruo's voice was a little decadent, and he drooped his head.Spread your hands: "Since it is the intention of the Federation, what else can I say if I want to move it away as evidence? You see, I only have a few guards, and it is not easy to protect yourself. If you want to move that gold brick, you can move it in." Move the yellow line, but, as a friendly reminder, there are machine guns on the top of the head, they are not under my control. If you accidentally hurt you, don't rely on me!"

"Hahaha……"

I don't know who laughed, and then the friends next to him all laughed: This representative of the Earl of Beihai is really a piece of lazy meat.Saying this sentence is not the same as not saying it. What do you mean if you want to move in, you can move in. If you get shot, don’t blame me. Pfft, if you say it this way, what is the difference between agreeing and disagreeing?This is to play Major General Miller and the others as monkeys, right?I admire you!

Major General Miller couldn't bear the laughter. He stared at Long Ganruo and asked ferociously, "Mr. Long, are you joking? The big gold brick belongs to your young master, but the soldiers who protected the big gold brick didn't return." You care? Hmph, are you playing tricks on me?"

Long Ganruo flusteredly waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare, dare not, how dare I play tricks on the powerful generals of the federation... Well, when I came, these soldiers had already been arranged in their positions, I thought it was arranged by Consul Ouyang people!"

Hearing this, Major General Miller narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Ouyang Ming: "Consul Ouyang, you arranged these soldiers?"

Me, I will fuck your surname Long!

Ouyang Ming was framed for no reason, almost didn't jump up, rushed out and shouted: "They are expeditionary troops hired by the Spanish Viscount Savoy, and they are locked up with me. I am just a small official sent by the Qing Dynasty overseas. How can I order them?" ?”

On the stone bench, Long Ganruo said flatly: "Ah, it was not the arrangement of Consul Ouyang, which made me flattered when I first arrived, thinking that my young master was in jail. You, the Consul General, know how to deal with human relationships Protect my young master's property!"

Ou Yangming's face was flushed red by Long Ganruo's words, and he said, "Long Yujie, he, he did a good thing, offended, offended the US Navy, you, how do you ask me to protect it?"

Ou Yangming said this from the heart, he had a good impression of Long Hao, but this time, who made him make a fuss is too big, he really has the heart!

Besides, early this morning, Long Hao ordered people to take the big gold brick to the consulate, making it clear that the disaster was causing trouble, and he also made this Mr. Hui Ting very angry, secretly thinking that you are going to die, but don't drag us together , Are they still brothers and sisters?Are you still considering the blood connection?Are you still talking about the family relationship?

Long Ganruo snorted, and said, "What do you mean my young master did something good? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he was framed by others, so now he dare not even show his face... Besides, a few days ago he did it for We Chinese compatriots put forward anti-racial slogans, why don’t you, a consul, come out to express your support? Do you want us Chinese to continue to be bullied, discriminated, and unfairly treated in San Francisco?”

What Long Ganruo said was reasonable, but Ouyang Ming didn't know that he felt ashamed for shrinking these days, so he drooped his head, deeply feeling that Yan would continue arguing with Long Ganruo on this.

In fact, Ou Yangming is also a good official. In the original history, he served as Zhili prefecture, and was awarded the titles of senior official and Hualing chief secretary. A lot of practical things, but this time...he is really helpless!

See the cousin speechless.Ouyang Geng naturally stepped forward: "Don't stand and talk without back pain. Our consulate must work in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor gave us instructions to protect our compatriots and not to cause trouble to the local "government"... Like Things like amending state and city bills. We represent the Qing Dynasty, so of course we can’t express our opinions at will!”

"Don't bother me with a good sentence, I, Long Ganruo, have been educated, but, is my young master considered a compatriot? Why don't you protect him?" Long Ganruo stood up from the stone bench, hands behind his back.He sneered lightly.

"You...your young master is an earl conferred by the Queen of England. If you want protection, go ask the Queen for protection!"

Ouyang Geng was eloquent, his eyes rolled, and when it came to eloquence, Ganzi was definitely no match for him.

"Okay. You all shut up!"

Major General Miller couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Since the expeditionary force upstairs is not under your control, if you want to quarrel, go to the side to quarrel, don't get too far away! Now, one of you who can take charge, talk to me !"

When Miller said this, he pointed his finger into the yellow line.There stood a squad of expeditionary troops, all white men, standing erect with steel guns in hand.

"I am in charge!"

One of the expeditionary soldiers stepped forward and looked at Miller without showing weakness.

"Well, I order you to withdraw now, and this place will be managed by our federal military department!"

"I'm afraid it won't work. We are entrusted by the Earl of Beihai to protect this big gold brick!"

"Hmph, he is a federal suspect, and his entrustment is illegal. Don't think that you can keep this loot by setting up a heavy machine gun on the second floor!" Major General Miller's tone is unquestionable: "Retire early to avoid injury. How worthless is it to take your own life?"

What Miller said was the truth, and the expeditionary soldiers also understood: Although there is a heavy machine gun on the second floor, if Miller does not count the loss.Use human life to fill the pile, and that heavy machine gun can also be taken down.It's just that in that case, both sides will suffer great losses. Miller, the 'temporary leader', is not so stable yet, and it may be impossible to order the soldiers below to 'dare to die'.Among other things, Miller was unable to command the British sailors under Fremantle.

Therefore, dissuading these expeditionary soldiers with words is the only option for Miller to solve the current situation of "beating the wolf at both ends".

Sure enough, the expeditionary soldier hesitated for a while, and said, "We are Spanish mercenaries, you dare not charge, this kind of responsibility is too great, my superiors said, you can't afford it!"

Superior?

Is it that bastard Earl of Beihai?

Miller had expected it a long time ago, he smiled, took out the telegram, and handed it to the soldier: "Take a good look, little guy, the identity you rely on has not been recognized! Hmph, don't "force" I'm tearing my face apart, otherwise you will die in battle and you won't even get a pension! Tsk tsk, why do you have to die for a person who is doomed?"

After reading the telegram, the soldier's face changed drastically. He didn't bother to reply, but went back to discuss with his comrades. Just when Major General Miller thought they were going to give up, he walked back and put the The telegram was returned to Major General Miller, and said: "It doesn't matter if the Empress Dowager doesn't admit it, we only listen to Viscount Savy, we are still part of the Spanish army! I'm sorry, Major General, we can't hand over this big gold brick to you If you want to force it, you can go ahead, as long as you cross this yellow line, we will do our best to serve you! In that case, we will regard it as the United States declaring war on Spain!"

What?

Are you mercenaries?

The empress dowager of Spain declared that you are illegal, so what are you trying to do?

Is Viscount Savy big?Can it be bigger than the queen mother of a country?

Damn, have you been brainwashed by the Earl of Beihai?Want to protect him desperately?Or, that bastard promised you a lot of money, asking you to protect this big gold brick rather than lose your life?

It doesn't make sense, it's not... science!

[-]% certainty, it will be wiped out all at once!

Major General Miller's wishful thinking fell apart, he never expected: this telegram actually persuaded the mercenary expeditionary force not to retreat!

Now that we want to attack by force, we have to bear the responsibility of declaring war. It's hard to say whether the military will take such a big 'pot'!

Hard to do!

Just when Major General Miller was a little bit blind and retreated to discuss with Paul in a low voice whether to order those "profiteer" thugs to rush forward, Fremantle came over.

"What, General?"

Miller was interrupted, a little grumpy, with a bad tone.

Think about it, if he doesn't give the order to attack, his prestige will plummet. Does he really have to wait for Division 338e to come over?But by that time, Miller will have to spend a lot of money to fill the appetite of their division commanders.

"Look, I got this."

Freemante didn't get annoyed, but mysteriously handed over a note.

"what is this?"

Major General Miller had a suspicious face on his face, took a look at the note, and then his face began to turn hot and cold, his body also shivered, showing ecstasy, and shouted loudly: "Oh, so it is so, so it is so, haha Haha... The expeditionary force is not a Spanish mercenary army at all, but a dark game arranged by the Qing Dynasty in the United States! Well, you are all illegal immigrants, so courageous, put down your weapons quickly, or you will be killed! "

nn, the information written on this note of unknown origin is so useful! !

It said that the expeditionary army did not have the qualifications of the Spanish army at all, but a private army trained by the Earl of Beihai in the United States for the Qing emperor!

In other words, this is an army that legally belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and what qualifications does the Qing Dynasty have to station troops on American soil? (To be continued.
