Alchemy Greater China

Being reprimanded, Xiao Yu hastily retracted her tongue, closed the palm of 'Rain', pulled Ke Mitong up, and ran 'thump-dump' towards the guest room at the back, saying as she ran, "Master calm down, wait for Xiaoyu and Xiao Ke cleaned up the room for you as an apology! Ge Ge Ge..."

"These two girls are getting bolder..."

Long Hao was not really angry, he shook his head helplessly when he saw this, then he picked up the wine glass and poured another glass of alcohol into his mouth.

Like Breeze, when Xiao Yu and Ke Mitong stepped into the alchemist's door, both of them also obtained their own 'powers'.

Drizzle's is Teng **, and Xiao Ke's is Jin Fengshou.

Tengyu can condense rainwater from the air at any time. When the rainwater reaches a certain limit, it can turn into clouds and become invisible, and it can also buffer the landing. This is why Xiaoyu is not afraid to take an airplane test flight.

The Jinfeng hand is as sharp as a knife and as sharp as a cone, cutting metal is easy. Xiao Ke's hand speed is matched with the Jinfeng hand, and it is easy to smash a 200mm steel plate.

Regarding this, Long Hao was jealous and confused. If Breeze's mini tornado was accidental, but when the accident happened three times in a row, it must be said that there must be some reason that Long Hao didn't know!

Could it be that, apart from myself, if people in this era become alchemists, they will definitely have an exclusive ability?

Is this... related to the esp that Rong Shangqin always talks about?

Long Hao shook his head, throwing these conjectures about the 'power' out of his head, he took another sip of the wine, his eyes were deep... This kind of mass wine produced in the vineyards around San Diego has astringent taste and taste closer to Due to the original taste of grass and trees, it is not smooth in the mouth, but it has a strong aftertaste, like bitter leaves, which seems to be able to clarify the brain.Organize the chaotic thoughts into pieces, which is very conducive to thinking.

The scope of Long Hao's thinking is nothing more than the future development of his own power.

It may be hard for others to believe that Long Hao really has no idea of ​​becoming an emperor. Perhaps his soul comes from the future, and Long Hao is obsessed with the hereditary imperial system.Really not very interested.

Three years ago, at the beginning of soul travel, Long Hao had to lead a group of servants and a boat of coolies to establish a foothold overseas in order to survive.

The Longlin Party was established to give hope and motivation to these compatriots who have left their homes. At the same time, it is also a pure heart of Long Hao's hope to change the history of the suffering of the Chinese nation in modern times.

If you want to achieve this grand goal under the circumstances of numerous great powers, imminent war, and poverty, you must make full use of your strengths and circumvent weaknesses, focus on your opponent's weaknesses, and take advantage of the situation!

Again.The history of Long Haoxue is the history after World War Three. He only has a general impression of the historical trend of this era. It is not absolutely impossible to use a certain historical event to make profits at a precise point in time, but it is absolutely impossible. difficult.

As for Niu Bi's historical figure, the default future little demon, Long Hao's eyes were blackened and he was completely blinded, so he could only touch it by luck.Go bump!

Fortunately, Long Hao crossed over.His most basic ability has not been lost, God is sad, he is still an alchemist.

Not only that, but he was also pleasantly surprised to find that it is much easier to continue the practice of alchemy in this age than in previous lives!In the previous life, a large group of people competed for limited metal resources.But now, the metal resources of the entire earth belong to Long Hao alone, whether he has a big appetite or cannot digest it.

Thus, by virtue of alchemy, Long Hao dug up the first pot of gold in Alaska.

With money.Life is not worrying, and Long Hao also briefly thought about whether it would be good to be a rich man, but this unrealistic idea was quickly left behind by him: this is an era of cannibalism, if you want to keep money , you must have a strong enough force!

In order to take advantage of the situation, Long Hao chose to go to Europe, to England, and won the support of the Queen of England with the potion of immortality.

Knowing the strength of the United States before World War Three, Long Hao set his sights on this superpower that had not risen through World War II.Europe is now a giant powder keg, and if you get involved in it, you are lucky not to be blown to pieces. If you want to develop, there is no better place than the United States.

Therefore, to seek the division of the United States, occupy a place in the west where the United States is not strong enough to rule, and build his own power fence, this is the plan that Long Hao planned before returning from Europe, or before going to Europe!

I came back in April and left in June. In more than three months, incidents happened one after another. The final result is quite ideal: the unstable slate of the American West can be leveraged, and the Chinese can be immigrated justifiably. to this land.

Moreover, Xiajia was successfully 'leased' by the Dragon Scale Army in the name of Spain. Savi is enjoying a more prosperous life in Mexico and is ready to give the United States a heavy blow to the 'groin' at any time... Everything looks good, but Long Hao But I know that this actually contains a huge crisis!

The first crisis is that submarines are inevitably exposed to the eyes of European powers;

The second crisis is that the strength of the Dragon Scale Army is still relatively weak, and it may be able to win a local war, but if it faces the full counterattack of the United States, it is still unable to do so.

After all, the development time is still too short. If the football school develops for another five years, if there are hundreds of submarines like Qianlong-1, Long Hao will not be afraid.

Therefore, this game took advantage, Long Hao had to accept it as soon as it was good, and he had to appease the European powers and the stunned America: the power of the Earl of Beihai had to keep a low profile and be invisible.

Therefore, Long Hao’s arrangements for Longbo through the same image metal are: [-]. All troops will withdraw from the United States, leaving only commercial activities in the United States; [-]. Military factories and heavy industries will be transferred to Xiajia, and the submarine Three, the redundant personnel returned to China in batches, and used the name of the Earl of Beihai to recruit party members and promote the products of Longhao Commercial Group in the country.

The purpose of the first arrangement is very simple. The United States is now like an old cat that has been scratched. It is eager to take revenge on Long Hao. However, since there are European tigers and lions staring at it, it is impossible to use force blatantly!The only means available is to rely on the commercial activities of Rockefeller, Morgan and other consortiums. In addition, Long Hao fell into a coma and won a certain amount of sympathy points, so that the new US government's retaliation steps will not be too radical.

Since there will be no war in a short time, there is no need for the Earl of Beihai's military power to stay in the United States.It's better to withdraw first, so as to relieve the nervousness of the old American cat.

When it comes to commercial battles, with the support of Carnegie and Beihai Bank, the Haomei Group should be on equal footing with Rockefeller and the others. Besides, wait until next year when dmg's car will be launched.It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

The second arrangement is to eliminate the concerns of the European powers. You must know that although Victoria and Joseph I are on Long Hao's side, when it comes to maritime hegemony, no country's superstructure will take it lightly!They would never let Long Hao go without finding out the mysterious weapon capable of sinking six battleships, even if he was unconscious.

Since it can't be concealed anyway.Long Hao instructed John Holland and others to disclose some technical parameters of the submarine to Britain and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in stages and with reservations.

Anyway, the technology of submarines is not difficult to overcome. The key lies in the mainstream awareness of the navy. Do they think that submarines are an integral element of naval warfare... Therefore, it is better to sell them well. It only takes one or two years for the opponent to study them. The technology that comes out is sent out in exchange for actual benefits.

Of course.This gift is not a free gift, it is exquisite.For example, it is only given to the two countries with the closest relationship with itself: Britain and Austria-Hungary. For example, the key technology is split into two, and Britain and Austria-Hungary each get half...

The third arrangement is based on administrative management. In the final analysis, it is necessary to return to China for development.It was also because Long Hao didn't have enough talents under his command.

Long Hao's background is nothing more than a Han family. Although Zhou Bodang and other family members are all loyal and brave, it is still insufficient to manage a territory.

For example, Huaxia Town was initially deserted.Everyone worked together to develop land reclamation, infrastructure construction, and expulsion. The shortcomings of management talents were not outstanding, but when the population of Huaxia Town exceeded [-] and the base village approached [-], the difficulty of management increased exponentially.

Long Bo has superb martial arts skills and is also an experienced housekeeper, but Huaxia Town, a large stall that is expanding extremely rapidly, is beyond his ability.Zhang Yuehu's defection seemed accidental, but it was actually an exposure of the management crisis of the Executive Yuan.

Long Hao was lucky. He got to know Hong Zaimo on the dragon ship, and got a group of sailors with naval experience, so that the construction of the Dragon Scale Navy did not take too many detours.

Later, thanks to Lei Long and his group, they brought in profound scholars like Rong Hong from China, and by the way, recruited children studying in the United States, and established relationships with the "first generation" children studying in the United States. A 'civilian' like Shang Qin prevented Long Hao's management status from suddenly collapsing because it piled up too high and too fast.

But the above is far from enough. If we want to manage Huaxia Town smoothly, stabilize the lower growth, and even crack the Great West of the United States in the future, these 'civilian' management talents need to increase by ten times, twenty times, or even more!

Where can so many management talents be found?

Two ways, one is self-cultivation. Don’t you see that Long Hao bought Stanford University and made it famous? Don’t you see that Long Hao spends a lot of money to send young children with potential to go to West Point, Annapolis... all in order to achieve this purpose.

It is a pity that this way is not waiting for everyone, it takes too much time, and its education is basically located in the territory of other countries, so it is impossible to train too many people, otherwise it will lead to strangling by the forces with intentions.

Another way is to recruit mature talents, and when it comes to having the most of these talents, it is... China!

Yes, you heard that right, it is China. Although China is still under the ignorant rule of the Manchu government and the illiteracy rate is close to 24k gold, when it comes to administrative management, there are still a group of talents.

Thanks to the blessings of Zeng Guofan, Yixin, Zuo Zhang and others, China has more or less carried out the Westernization Movement for nearly 30 years. Although the quality of the people has not been improved much, the circle of the children of high-ranking officials and gentry has indeed cultivated Got some capable people.

Otherwise, just relying on the group of Eight Banners who only know how to listen to opera and sing music, walk the dog and play with birds, the rule of Manchu Qing would have ended long ago!

However, this group of talents is dedicated to serving the imperial power and real power. They are not the "three major people", they have no worries about food and clothing, and just rely on a few cargo ships from North America to try to win them over?

Pure dreaming!

Not to mention, let's take Hong's family who has been wandering overseas for many years. He clearly saw the strength of Long Hao, but he always tried to do something to poach some corners... From this case, it can be seen that the top Long Hao, who has the aura of 'Earl of Beihai', currently, does not have enough appeal in the hearts of this group of people.Not to mention comparing with imperial power, even Li Hongzhang is far inferior.

That's why Long Hao wants to exert his influence back to the country and maximize the value of his title of British nobleman!

Today's Chinese are worshiping foreign things.Long Hao believes that as long as he operates a little properly, his power will be able to gain a foothold in the country. At that time, not only will he not have to worry about the urgent shortage of management talents, but he will also have the foundation to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty!

The 1911 Revolution of 20 is a day Long Hao remembers, and it is less than [-] years from now.

It is only two years since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-[-], which changed China's position as the leader in Asia.It's funny to say, in fact, Long Hao didn't quite remember that the Sino-Japanese War took place in [-] at the beginning, or one day he asked Yuan'er what year this year was in the lunar calendar, and he was shocked to wake up.

The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was the turning point of China's complete degeneration. Although the result was Beiyang's disastrous defeat, there were many maneuverable points in it. This famous naval battle in modern times, Long Hao must have a hand.No matter what, the little devil must not be allowed to win a big victory in this naval battle of "gambling the fate of the country".

"This guest. Do you want to add some appetizers?" The waiter's shout interrupted Long Hao's thinking.

Long Hao raised his head and smiled softly: "No need, I'm going to rest now. I just got off the boat and I'm tired. Drink some wine on an empty stomach. It will make it easier to sleep."

While speaking, Long Hao stood up and shook his head: more than a quarter of the one-year alchemist preparation period has passed. Although the treasure ship has been found seven or eight times, my task in the future is still very difficult. ah.For example, this time in San Diego...

The hotel in Santiago is in average condition, but after Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke carefully cleaned it up, they can barely live in it.

Santiago faces the snow-capped mountains at its back, the altitude is high, and the air is very good. When the windows are opened, there seems to be a slight fragrance coming from it.

In this regard, Long Hao's descendant from World War Three cannot be compared!

"Master, what are we going to do here?" Xiao Yu asked in a delicate voice while beating Long Hao's back.

It is said that since the last ocean treasure spot in southeastern Australia, the sapphire dragon boat went straight to Chile, and Long Hao didn't explain the purpose of coming here. When he asked him, he always acted like a lowly man.

"A little bit above, um, a little bit to the left, yes, it's right here, it's comfortable..."

Long Hao narrowed his eyes and babbled for a while, then Fang Shi opened his eyes and said, "Come here, find someone."

"Find someone?"

Ke Mitong, who brought the foot bath water, was slightly startled, and interjected to ask, "Master, do we have any manpower here?"

The distribution of power in Long Hao's hands, after these two months of sailing, the careful little Ke Duo is familiar with it: Europe has the SS, Australia has the white whale, North America is the base camp, and China and the United States have expeditionary forces and field regiments. ...But I have never heard of it. South America also has nails inserted?

"This man is not one of us."

"Oh, right?"

"It's not the enemy either. To be precise, it's a...scientist that I have to recruit because it's beneficial to our development!"

"Scientist? Someone like Mr. Daimler or Mr. Liebig?"

"Hey, almost! Hey, when you talk about scientists, why do you always think of foreigners first? Worshiping foreigners..."

"Master, don't make fun of us, but you said it yourself, there is not a famous scientist among the Chinese except you! You won't find yourself so stupid?"

"Well, your courage is getting fatter and fatter, even the young master dares to tease me, looking for a fight..."

After a frolic, the two girls blushed and straightened their clothes, looking at Long Hao shyly and embarrassingly.

Long Hao wasn't embarrassed at all, and said, "Tired? Take a rest and sleep, and then we'll go find Tesla."

"Tesla?" Xiao Ke suddenly exclaimed, almost ignoring the whiteness of his chest, "Could it be that Mr. Nikola Tesla who is of great help to the submarine engine?"

"Hey, Xiao Ke, you have a good memory, yes, it's him!"

Long Hao touched his chin and said, "Yunyao told me through the token that this Mr. Tesla is in San Diego if nothing happens!"

Yun Yao is Zheng Tingxiang, the great engineer. Remember, Long Hao made a bet with him that if Zheng Tingxiang loses, he will find out Tesla's whereabouts and tell him.

No, after more than two months, Zheng Tingxiang finally fulfilled his bet and sent Long Hao the location of Tesla.

Long Hao was also a little surprised that Tesla would go to Chile. Logically speaking, shouldn't the place where Tesla should appear most be Europe?Only in Europe with advanced economy and technology can Tesla find sponsorship and Bole to help him get rid of Edison's persecution and realize his dream of promoting alternating current.

However, Long Hao thought the other way around, perhaps it was because Edison forced Tesla too tightly that such a genius hid in South America, which no one could have imagined.

Afterwards, Zheng Tingxiang added another message, saying that Tesla's whereabouts were verified by the field team in charge of Cui Yuanlang, so Long Hao really believed it.

After resting for a while, Long Hao will go out to meet with the members of the field regiment stationed in Chile to obtain the exact address of Tesla.

Just as Long Hao dismissed the two apprentices and began to rest, in a snow-roofed cabin near the Andes Mountains in Santiago, a handsome white man was walking back and forth restlessly on the ground with his hands behind his back. Looking at two expressionless men smoking cigarettes with their heads down. (To be continued..)
