Alchemy Greater China

"Haha, Nikolai, what you say is what I want to say!"

On the bow of the Aria, Carnegie patted Tesla on the shoulder with satisfaction, and pointed to the endless sea with his big hand clinging to the cigar: "The Xiaga is not suitable for farming, but it is suitable for developing industries related to the ocean, such as shipbuilding, breeding, Steelmaking and iron making... Hehe, I want to open an ocean line between Australia and Xiajia to ensure that the fresh iron ore dug from Australia can be transported to Xiajia at low cost and with low risk!"

"Open up this route?"

Tesla scratched his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be difficult. The Pacific Ocean is not like the Atlantic Ocean. Although Britain has deployed the Far East Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, it has always been very polite to merchant ships."

"You only know one of them, you don't know the other!"

Carnegie curled his lips and said: "The Chinese added below were all arranged by the Earl of Beihai. On the surface, of course Britain will not set up obstacles to the nobles conferred by its queen, but secretly, the Far East Fleet will not think so !"

"Oh, how dare the Far East Fleet disobey the Queen's order?" Tesla wondered.

"Yang Fengyong Yin violating..." Carnegie smashed his cigar and replied in a breathless voice.

Since 'Long Hao' fell into a coma, the British side was the most worried. About a week after the temporary party meeting, representatives of Queen Victoria came to San Francisco. whereabouts.

With the long-distance support of Long Hao's equivalent elephant metal, when facing this representative, Princess Melissa responded very appropriately.

First, she said that Long Hao's condition had stabilized. After consulting with many Chinese medicine practitioners, she concluded that as long as Earl recuperates well, there is great hope that he will wake up in the next year;

Second.She took out several potions of immortality left by Long Hao and handed them to the Queen's representative, and made it clear that the amount of these potions was enough for the Queen to use for a year;

Thirdly, she implicitly stated that the medicinal materials for the potion of immortality had been planted in the cold area of ​​Alaska and had been waiting for nine months.Precious medicinal materials can have a good harvest.

With hope, gifts, and expectations, the Queen's representative left with satisfaction, and told Melissa in a 'reciprocal' way: For a year, no matter how ill the Earl of Beihai was, Her Majesty the Queen was always behind the Earl. backing!

Melissa smiled on the surface, but in her heart she sneered again and again: It took quite a year, the greatest queen in British history, also upholding the spirit of taking tea to cool down, within a year.If Long Hao wakes up, everything is easy to talk about, but if he doesn't wake up, this backing... I'm afraid it will become a stab in the back!

But this is also within Long Hao's expectations. There is no love for no reason in the world. When you can't provide the potion of immortality, why should other people be the most powerful country in the world to be your backer as a Chinese?

Long Hao not only expected this.It is also expected that the Far East Fleet may not necessarily act in accordance with the queen's will.

UK domestic.Now there are two voices, one is from Her Majesty the Queen, and the other is from the cabinet.

The queen said that she wanted to support Long Hao, but in terms of the cabinet, she was not 'one mind' with Her Majesty the queen.

According to the news sent back by Fremantle who was put back as an 'undercover'.The commander-in-chief of the Far East Fleet was quite dissatisfied with Long Hao and his forces.

The reason is also very simple: Who in the world doesn't know that the six battleships of the Far East Fleet were sunk by the Earl of the North Sea in one day?For this reason, the Far East Fleet has suffered great humiliation from top to bottom, as if they are face-saving goods.It is only relying on the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets to show off its power in the Far East (Asia).

To be honest, Fremantle was under tremendous pressure after returning. Even with the support of the Queen of England, the old general could only shrink his neck for the time being and serve as a man in the Far East Fleet with his tail between his legs.

Fremantle couldn't speak in the Far East Fleet, where the Commander-in-Chief Richards (fwrichards) spoke.

In the past month, Charlie Li used practical actions to express the unfriendliness of the Far East Fleet to the earl's forces.

Li Charlie's actual action is to order all the ships of the Chinese fleet to go out of the port, specifically to intercept the Earl's cargo ship coming from the direction of the United States, to check, inventory, and inquire about it. Great hindrance.

From the current point of view, this kind of obstruction has not hurt the ships in Huaxia Town. Going to Asia to contact Li Charlie, it seems that a large-scale cleaning operation of the Earl's ships will be launched.

At that time, it will not be a simple interrogation, and maybe the freighter will be detained!

Hearing this, Tesla laughed aloud, and said indifferently: "It seems that the Earl of Beihai is really gaining hatred, people are all plants, and his torso is still attractive...I said Kane Mr. Ji, if you are worried that the British Far East Fleet will retaliate against your ore cargo ship, why don't you draw a line with the Earl of the North Sea?"

Carnegie was startled, and looked back at Tesla carefully: "It sounds like you don't have a good impression of the Earl..."

It's amazing if the impression is good!

Tesla twitched his lips covertly: It’s not that he’s messing around, can my company be mortgaged to speculate in stocks?Didn't he sink six battleships with tricks, would my stock be worthless?If I hadn't gone bankrupt, why would I have gone to Chile to study the saltpeter electrolysis method, and then got involved in this turmoil?

I guess I don't agree with that Earl of Beihai!

Seeing that Tesla didn't speak, Carnegie said again: "It's unrealistic to draw a clear line. The unloading point of the ore will be added below. There is no way to deceive people... Well, yes, Mr. Tesla, you In the past few days, some fresh vocabulary has been popping out of my mouth, which makes me a little unable to keep up with your jumping thinking rhythm! Hatred value, hehe, does it mean being ostentatious and making enemies everywhere?"

"Well, it's kind of..."

After hearing this, Tesla responded casually.However, the whole face drooped down. If you look carefully, you can still catch the bitterness in the eyes.

Can it not be bitter?

Have you ever had weird, consistent dreams for several nights in a row?

The dream is so real, and the people and objects in the dream seem to be spiritual... It seems that Tesla has experienced another life.

In the dream, Tesla felt more tired than awake, with a lot of words and dazzling objects.It poured into his ears and eyes, making him feel like he was having a nightmare every time he woke up, with sweat all over his body and his forehead feeling numb!

No, strange words like 'hate value' were learned by Tesla from a dream.

"Hehe, your spirit is not very good, haven't you got rid of the shadow of the previous few days?" Carnegie observed the situation, then laughed and patted Tesla: "Why don't you go and take a rest, don't accompany me here to blow the sea breeze gone?"

Still sleeping?

Tesla rolled his eyes.Enduring the pain and dodging Carnegie's bear's paw: "No, no, blowing the sea breeze and relaxing, it's good, it's good..."

"Hey, it would be great if my little angel was like Mr. Tesla. She has sailed a few times. She doesn't like to accompany me to blow the air, saying that it will damage the skin. Hey, how old is she, and she has to change her teeth once. ..." Carnegie was regretfully sentimental, but he couldn't hide the doting feeling in his tone.

Tesla had a black line on his face: Your sister, are you comparing me to your daughter?

"Miss Carnegie, who is like a princess, naturally needs to be held in the palm of your hand and cared for. Hehe, hehe..." Although he complained in his heart, Tesla still did a good job of superficial skills.

"That's right! She, go to bed."

"Oh, children. Lethargy is normal."

After the drunken dinner that day, Tesla found that he could hardly see the Seagate card, and when he asked a few times, all he got was the answer that the other party was sleeping.

Children don't get enough sleep all day, but Tesla doesn't care.

"I'm very happy that she can sleep. You don't know that child Xijieka doesn't usually sleep well..."

Carnegie is indeed happy: It seems that Tesla is a lucky general. Since I met him, my little angel has slept so much that his saliva has flowed out in the past few days, and there is also a thin snoring sound, which is weird. Her dream has finally gone away from her!

"Oh, how come?"

"Hehe, small matter, small matter, I will discuss it with Mr. Tesla next time I have a chance."

Carnegie is not stupid. Although the strange things in Seagate's dream do not seem to be very helpful at present, he will not tell Tesla, who is not very familiar with him, carelessly.

Fortunately, Carnegie didn't say anything, otherwise, Tesla would definitely have judged that those weird dreams that tortured Seagate were transferred to himself!

……

"Captain, do you want to hoist the flag?"

In the port of Manta, Ecuador (Manta), three unmarked large ships that looked like claws and claws began to pull anchor. On the oldest ship, a young man in uniform was listening to another young man. Ask in a low voice.

The captain is Captain Kunz, and the three ships that almost squeezed the Little Manta Harbor are the three cruisers Atlanta, Trenton, and Richmond.

The turrets on the cruiser were all covered with canvas, but the attempt to conceal it gave the three ships a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere, which made the locals around the port back away, whispering and discussing.

Now, these three ferocious ships were finally leaving, and local talents slowly surrounded them.

"Up, up, up your head, shall I raise you up?"

Kunz twisted his nose angrily, and knocked hard on his deputy's head: "We are pirates now, did you raise that skull flag to force those local aborigines to report? You pig-headed, go to work , sail the ship away from the port and raise the flag as soon as possible!"

The deputy covered his head with his hands, and went away, feeling depressed at the same time: The captain is in a bad mood, I got the wrong nerve, and I wanted to tease him...

Kongzi was indeed in a bad mood. He had promised to get intelligence assistance in Manta Port, but who would have thought that the quality of the intelligence personnel here was so bad that they lost half of Carnegie's whereabouts telegram and only let Kongzi I vaguely know that Carnegie's Aria docked at Esmeraldas about four days ago.

It stands to reason that knowing the whereabouts of the Aria is considered excellent information, but who made half of this telegram missing?So now Kongzi still looks dissatisfied, desperately thinking: What is the missing half of the telegram?Will it be a specific route for the follow-up of the Aria, if I get it.You can intercept it in advance, you don't have to passively track it like this, oh, the damn telegram answerer, he should go to hell...

Resentment to resentment, wait until the fleet has opened dozens of nautical miles.Kongzi's mood also calmed down, and he thought to himself: I can get the foothold four days ago. It seems that there are many people in this world who want Carnegie to die!

It was the navy department that informed Kunz in advance about going to Manta Port to collect information. This newly promoted classmate captain did not know the identity of the other party. Otherwise, he would have shot the negligent telegraph operator long ago.In order to understand the thoughts, instead of sulking alone.

In fact, the forces who betrayed Carnegie's whereabouts can be guessed seriously: Who has Carnegie offended recently?

Hey...Australian ore merchants!

Not only ore merchants, but also steel mills, road construction companies, etc.

Because, as soon as the Beluga Energy Company represented by Carnegie arrived in Australia, it seized the mining exploration rights and the railway construction rights, and resold them in the name of the Rothschild family.Work boldly on Australian soil.

Relying on the large amount of money and experienced technicians brought by Carnegie, he directly wiped out other competitors staying in Australia, leaving nothing behind.The business field is afraid of comparing goods. Carnegie’s name and the shadow of the steel king not only helped Beluga Energy quickly stabilize the mining area and road construction area occupied by the Rothschild family, but also directly threatened many other undeveloped areas. area.

These undeveloped areas were originally used by other ore merchants and road construction companies to sell, ready to earn more benefits from the Australian government.But as soon as Carnegie came, he didn't talk about the rules, he threw money and promised to start construction immediately, and he immediately won over the Australian government... Do you think these ore merchants and road construction companies can't hate Carnegie?

I just hate it! !

You American steel magnate.Grabbing food and grabbing Australia, do you still have justice, conscience, and professional ethics?

The integrity is broken all over the ground, there is no wood! ?

As a result, these ore merchants and road repair companies joined forces and sold Carnegie's sailing route.

Two days later, the Kunz fleet arrived at the port of Esmeraldas.

This time, the three cruisers did not enter the port together. Kunz just sent a few men to adjust the port's sailing records, and confirmed that the Aria had indeed set off from here four days ago.

After confirming, the three cruisers including the Atlanta turned their bows, increased their speed and headed north. Ecuador is already very close to Baja California, and the time difference of four days may not be able to make it back.

However, although the hope of rushing back is slim, Kunz is not too discouraged. He knows that the Aria will return to Australia in the end.

Although Kunz was proud in his heart, he was not so arrogant that he had to block Carnegie once, and it was acceptable to kill him on his return journey.

Perhaps Kongzi's "optimistic master" mentality moved the sky, and the Aria really encountered a little trouble, and was caught up by Kongzi's fleet three days later!

The sea area encountered by the two parties is at the intersection of 120° west longitude and 15° north latitude, or in other words: the coincidence of the south extension of San Francisco and the west extension of the southernmost tip of Mexico.

It has something to do with San Francisco and Mexico. It has to be said that the world's affairs have long been determined...

Well, no superstition, the reason why the Aria did not sail along the edge of the continent, but ran westward by more than a dozen longitudes, was because it encountered the British Pacific Fleet!

Specifically, the Aria was asked to leave the edge of the American continent by "peaceful means" by a British Pacific patrol ship.

"It's too deceiving. How and where I want to dock, are the British qualified to intervene?" Carnegie was furious after sending the British patrol ship away.

No wonder Carnegie got angry, because the reason given by the British patrol ship was: ships sailing from Australia are not allowed to dock directly in Mexico, and must settle in the United States and undergo safety registration before entering Mexico.

"The British Pacific Fleet seldom operates in this area. I understand that the ore merchants in Australia must have bribed the fleet to find trouble for me!" Carnegie said after calming down.

Stopping in the United States first, and then going to add, there will be a lot of time delay, which will indirectly cause certain losses to Beluga Energy.

Carnegie was angrily: These ore dealers are spending money to make me sick!

However, Carnegie was only half right. The British Pacific Fleet was indeed 'disgusting' Carnegie on purpose, but the man behind it was not the Australian ore merchant, but... the British cabinet!

For some reason, the British cabinet reached an agreement with the Rockefeller family to bury Carnegie, the steel magnate who had gone abroad, in the vast Pacific Ocean!

In addition to the Far East Fleet, the Pacific Fleet has also joined Carnegie's camp...

Unaware, Carnegie changed the course and delayed the arrival time at Xiajia, and the bad luck always happened one after another. Just one day after the Aria changed the course, it encountered a medium-sized storm.

When an ocean storm came down, the Aria did not turn over, but it was also forced to reduce its speed, giving the Kunz fleet a chance to come from behind.

Compared with the troubles of the Aria, the Kunz fleet is much smoother.

After Kunz received the "friendly reminder" from the Pacific Fleet, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the three cruisers to accelerate to the extreme, with the goal of encircling and capturing the Aria before it arrived in San Francisco! (To be continued..)

ps: Sometimes when I get tired of typing, I will ask myself, is there any value in writing a book that has less than 30 subscriptions?

I will hesitate, but I will persist afterwards. Maybe the book I wrote may be a joke, but it also represents my thoughts. I can communicate with more than 30 book friends every day, and I can get 500 full attendance every month. What a happy thing.

Moreover, I still have a lot of goals to achieve. When will the high order be 1000?When will the total order be millions?When is 3 recommended?When did you get over a million clicks?etc.

The result is not important, I want to enjoy the process.
