Alchemy Greater China

The boat was very close, and Carnegie could see Kunz clearly. He asked coldly, "Are you a soldier?"

"Ha, I said I was a pirate, can Mr. Carnegie believe it?" Kunz's face became serious, but what he said was frivolous.

"Do not believe!"

"Well, you can ask God with your doubts, heh, see if the old man is willing to tell you!"

Kunz's words were extremely lame, and at the same time, there was an even more jaw-dropping act of lamentation. Kunz took out a pistol from his belt and pointed at Carnegie.

The distance between the two ships was more than 30 meters. With the accuracy of pistols, it is quite difficult to talk about killing them with one shot.But this shows Kunz's attitude: That is, Carnegie, I am here today to take your life!Answering questions and solving "confusions" does not belong to my business scope!

"You want to kill me, no surprise!"

Carnegie was unafraid, his body was like a peg, he stood still, his voice was like a strong wind, and he danced vigorously: "But, can you let my crew go? If I fall, they won't be able to make a fortune. Australia's The ore and the railway will belong to your employer."

"You still want to test me? No, no, no, I don't understand Australian ores and railways, so I have nothing to do with it!" [

Kunz raised his pistol: "We are just a group of very hungry pirates, and Mr. Carnegie, you are just an unlucky sheep that bumped into you."

"Is it still a pirate?"

Carnegie glanced at the muzzles of dozens of dark cannons around him, and suddenly smiled: "Since I'm a pirate, I'm not asking for money! How about this, come over and talk, maybe the conditions I give will move your heart? "

The conversation between the two of them was not nonsense, at least Carnegie saw it, this group of 'pirates'.He didn't intend to kill himself right away.

After talking and talking, the other party has always refused to admit the 'obvious' military status, so their purpose is clear at a glance: they want to obtain greater benefits!Under the false identity of a pirate!

"Talk in the past? I'm afraid that Mr. Carnegie will jump over the wall in a hurry and take me as a hostage!" Kongzi smiled and waved inwardly: "You should come here. The wind on the sea is blowing me very uncomfortable."

"It's fine in the past, I want to take a few brothers with me."

"Oh, don't you trust me? How about this, let's take a step back, come, let out a small boat, and we'll talk between the two boats!"

The small boat is not big enough to accommodate many people.Kunz brought three people with him, and Carnegie only brought one. Before boarding the ship, both sides discarded their weapons to show friendship, which can be regarded as going into battle with bare hands.

There was a table in the middle of the boat, Kunz sat on one side as soon as he arrived, and then asked Carnegie to sit on the other side.At first glance, it looks like a negotiation.

"Mr. Carnegie. These three are my confidantes. If you have anything to say, you can say it openly." As soon as he entered the boat, the domineering aura on Kongzi's body disappeared. smile.Hang on your face.

Can it be normal?

Carnegie is now the meat on the chopping board, and Kunz is the Captain America representing justice. Is it necessary to be polite to a prisoner?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

"Phew, it's good to be closed. It can indeed be said openly!" [

Carnegie sat down on the swaying stool, stared at Kunz for a while, and sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, you are an officer in the US Navy, right?"

"Steel King, his eyes are like torches, and he admires him." Kongzi chuckled, acquiescing.

"What's your name?"

"Robert Kunz, captain of the Federal Navy, currently the captain of the USS Atlanta."

"...Tell me, how can we let us go?"

Carnegie asked in a hoarse voice, but anyone could smell the frustration in his tone!How difficult is it for three cruisers to quietly run from the east coast to the Pacific Ocean?As the saying goes, you pay a lot, so what the other party wants must be huge!

"Why must Mr. Carnegie be joking?"

Kunz felt very refreshed. At his age, it was a rare experience to be able to speak condescendingly to a generation of steel magnates like this: "You understand very well, this time, you are doomed! This is the premise of the negotiation. Negotiable."

"You, presumptuous!" The people brought by Carnegie were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes widened and they shouted angrily.

"This is the truth, the truth always hurts! Well, do you still want to move your fist? Well, I guarantee that if you hit it with a fist, there will be an extra cannon on the Aria!" Kongzi smiled. ’ replied, but his voice was as cold as ice.

"Manji, back down! Do you want to harm everyone?" Carnegie slapped the table, and the attendant named Manji, holding his breath and clenching his fists, retreated like a bullfight.

"Captain Kunz, it doesn't matter if I die, but I hope you release the other people on board. They are innocent, and you don't want to cause too many murders, do you?" Carnegie said flatly, as if he had put life and death aside .

"Don't talk about such ridiculous things as killing evil, our navy is the least afraid of killing people. We fight against the sky, the sea, and people. If we kill ninety-nine thousand, we will become masters! Hehe, Kane Mr. Ji, let’s talk about the conditions directly, I’m satisfied, and it’s not difficult to let some people go.” Kongzi smiled contemptuously, rubbing his chin, looking confident.

Kunz's intentions were obvious. The reason why he didn't bombard the Aria immediately was to extract the maximum value from Carnegie, a rare 'big meat ticket'!

Kongzi is also a human being with desires, and he also wants to climb up. To climb up, he needs to curry favor with his superiors and bribe his subordinates. The basis of all this can be summed up in one word: money.

It is a perfect opportunity to be ordered to kill Carnegie this time. Everyone knows how rich Carnegie is. After Kunz has the overall situation in hand, he doesn’t mind making a bad deal with the mortal Carnegie: Carnegie Give money, he releases water to let a group of people go.

"Conditions...Let's go with Captain Kunz!" Carnegie chuckled, with fear in his eyes, but a bit of sarcasm instead.

You can kill me, but in the end you have to succumb to money, poor man!

"Hmph, okay, let me drive, I, I, I want your steel group, will you give it?" Carnegie's ridicule was like coal fire, which seemed to have burned Kunz. The captain was furious, and he shouted roar.

"I'm willing to give it, do you dare to take it?" Carnegie's ridicule grew stronger.

Indeed, the Carnegie Group, which was likened to a kingdom, was placed in the hands of some people.It is a mountain of gold and silver, which can shine brightly, but if it is put in the hands of some people?But it is a hot potato, and it is difficult to deal with.

Kunz asked himself, [-]% of him belonged to the latter.

"Then I want money, me. I want $1000 million! Cash!" Kunz hissed hysterically.

The Carnegie Group is definitely more than 1000 million dollars, but he can only choose 1000 million dollars now. This is like a crater that can continuously burst out gold bricks in front of you, but you can only use a hoe to dig out some of the surrounding cooling gold. Gold bumps... This kind of aggrieved, Kongzi felt his body trembling and his heart bleeding.

"laugh……"

Carnegie smiled lightly, "Captain, have you never started a company before? With 1000 million US dollars, except for a financial chaebol like Morgan, who can easily come up with so much liquidity? Hey, even Morgan is not an easy task ...My steel group is very valuable, but they are all fixed assets, and 1000 million US dollars in cash cannot be collected in a short time."

"How long will that take?"

Kongzi's face was flushed red. He was born in a small town, let alone started a company, and had never even done a small business.

"If I don't die, I can make it up in half a month, but I think. After this deal is over, I will have to die. The military department will not let me land on land alive, right?"

"Yes, you have to die today, this risk. I can't take it." Kongzi gritted his teeth and said, with blue veins on his forehead.

This young officer is very clear-headed!

Carnegie sighed regretfully.

"I'm sorry, but I can only write you a check for $300 million, believe it or not. That's my limit!"

"300?"

Kongzi murmured, thinking quickly in his mind: 300 million is not too little, I will take 100 million, and the crew of the three ships will share another 200 million. In this way, the hearts of the three cruisers will be acceptable. Next, In the name of a pirate ship, I will do a few hard work in the Pacific Ocean. When I return to the headquarters, I will have all the face and face. If I manage it carefully, maybe I can become a powerful officer like Benson!

Although Benson is now a disgrace to the U.S. Navy and a negative teaching material within the Navy, many young naval officers, including Kunz, are secretly envious of him!

Being on the side of the princes, finding a backer, buying warships arbitrarily, and establishing your own circle of influence, this is a beautiful thing that cannot be dreamed of!

Thanks to Mahan's "On Sea Power", the ambition of foreign aggression is fermenting in the United States now, and these young military officers, especially the admirals, are the most fermented ferment!

Commanding warships, conquering the oceans, sealing borders and cracking the soil... is the ultimate dream of Kongzi's generation of mariners!

Having said that, they are the only ones who will accept the "crazy" order of the Navy Department, and travel thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean with gunboats to assassinate legitimate businessmen in the United States.

"Okay, 300 million is 300 million, Mr. Carnegie, write a check!"

Kunz figured it out, $300 million was not too much, and his stomach was just digesting it, so he nodded and approved the deal: "$300 million, thirty people, I allow Mr. Carnegie to choose thirty people, After you die, I will send you back to the United States to ensure safety, how about this deal, are you satisfied?"

"One hundred thousand a person, hey, what an expensive ransom!" Man Ji muttered angrily behind Carnegie.

Of the nearly 30 people on the Aria, only [-] survived, which made Man Ji's chest explode.

"Why, Mr. Carnegie is not satisfied? Hehe, to put it cruelly, please...recognize the reality."

Seeing that Carnegie was silent and violent, Captain Kunz suddenly felt that his thoughts were enlightened and his body was refreshed: Huh, so what if you have money, today you are going to see God!As for me, I will rise to the top and become a future star in the navy!Wa hahaha……

What is the reality?

The reality is that Carnegie has no bargaining chips. Even spending 300 million for [-] lives depends on Captain Kunz's mood.

"It's okay to write a check, but my Carnegie's money is not so easy to get!"

Carnegie raised his chest, took out the checkbook, wrote it in a swish, and slapped it on the table: "This is a check from Beihai Bank. It can be accepted without my presence, but I just activated an additional condition, unless My daughter will meet with the president of Beihai Bank safely, otherwise, no one will be able to withdraw the 300 million dollars!"

"Carnegie, are you kidding me?!"

Kongzi raised his eyebrows and shouted ferociously: Are there any additional conditions?Carnegie, you are so smart, dare to play peek-a-boo with me?

"What are you talking about, Captain, your words are too intense..."

Carnegie withdrew his hand.Holding it in front of his chest, he let the check lie alone on the table: "According to what you said, I will definitely not live until dawn. Anyway, I will die. If there are no checks and balances left, wouldn't the 300 million be given to you for nothing? Hey .You think Carnegie's IQ is too low!"

"Huh, I, Kongzi, say one thing and one thing, and I will let people go if I say I will let them go. Do you believe me?"

"Haha, do you think you're famous? Kunz, I'm bah, if you change the environment, you little captain doesn't even have the qualifications to 'lick' the soles of my Carnegie shoes!"

Carnegie posted: "Besides, trust you? Are you very reputable? If you want a little face, you won't pretend to be a pirate and go all the way to assassinate me!"

"You, you want to die?"

Kunz was turned green and pale by Carnegie's scornful words. He suddenly stood up and threatened loudly.

"The conditions are like this. If you are not satisfied, just order to bombard us!"

Carnegie did not change his face, and pretended to leave the boat: "You don't want 300 million. I mean, anyway, if you don't agree, you have a ghost in your heart. Why should I, Carnegie, give away dollars to my enemy for free? Not that cheap!"

"...Okay, wait a minute!"

Kunz took a few deep breaths, finally calmed down, gritted his teeth, and left Carnegie behind: "Conditions, I. I promise you! But Carnegie, I want you to write a document to prove your death , close with me Kongzi!"

Carnegie stopped, turned his head and said with a smile, "Okay. I prepared it before I came. I remember. You are a professional lawyer. You are the one to write this document!"

After finishing speaking, Carnegie straightened his body, his eyes gleamed with disdain, as if to say: Xiao Mian, your little thoughts, I have predicted it a long time ago.

Being seen through his thoughts made Captain Kunz extremely upset, and he had a weird feeling of being caught in Carnegie's trap: he is a death row prisoner whose life and death are clearly in my hands, why is he so arrogant, why? !

Manji took out a pen and paper, and immersed himself in drafting Kongzi's "disclaimer document". This period of time will not be short. Kongzi waited for a while, a little impatient, and wanted to urge him.

After all, the deal between him and Carnegie belongs to the kind of 'shady' deal, and the documents that are quite memorized can only be completed on the boat, and they cannot be put back and he can do it at will.

Therefore, urging became Kunz's only choice!

However, before Kunz could speak, a rapid and sharp siren sounded, followed by three consecutive shots, piercing the silent night sky.

Kunz turned his head, his face changed drastically: This is an agreed signal, and it is an emergency signal that will only be sent when there is a major change!

what happened?

Is the people on the Aria desperate?Or is there a strange ship coming from the periphery?

Kongzi didn't care about waiting for Manji to finish writing the document, but immediately rushed out of the boat, stood on the bow, and looked up at the Atlanta.

The personnel on the Atlanta waved their hands and shouted to the bottom: "Captain, a ship is coming! Captain, a ship is coming..."

Amidst the repeated shouts, not only the Atlanta, but also the Trenton and Richmond were busy for a while. People on the deck were running around, obviously panicked by the appearance of 'that ship'.

What ship is it? !

Kunz was startled, abandoned the boat, and quickly boarded the boat. Once on the deck, he grabbed a telescope and looked in the direction where everyone was looking.

"Hiss, this is..."

Kunz took a deep breath and blurted out.

"Captain, it seems to be the British ship..."

"Shut up, I know! I asked if I had flagged, and asked the Fletcher, why did it appear here?"

Kunz cursed, but his heart was full of turbulent waves: The Fletcher belongs to the British Pacific Fleet, and, moreover, it is the ship that gave the route of the Aria to his "friendship"!

What are they doing here?Are you here to pick the fruit?

Several thoughts were flashing in Kunz's head: It is very possible that the British guy is greedy and cunning, and wants to use Lao Tzu as a gun, and he can easily pick up the leak from behind!Hmph, why, the Fletcher is just a cruiser!

Carnegie's reputation is too great and his wealth is rich. Although the British cherish their feathers and don't know how to do it themselves, they still guard the periphery and jump out to get a share of the action after the dust settles, but it's not impossible!

Do you want to give it?

Do you want to give in?

Or... I don't do one thing, and I don't stop doing the other thing, I have three others, and I simply have a "Naiyizute"?

Kongzi's eyes changed rapidly, hesitating, fierce, murderous... revealed one by one. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief, his eyes returned to normal: It may be easy to kill the Fletcher, but it is extremely difficult to wipe the ass afterwards. Trouble, hey, I'd better put up with it and pretend that a piece of meat was robbed by a vicious dog.

The Atlanta turned on its night lights and was frantically playing semaphore, and the people on the Aria were not idle. The Fletcher was about five kilometers away. The lights on the ship were turned on to illuminate itself, like a lighthouse at night , the Aria is more clearly seen with a telescope.

"Damn, it's the British ship!"

"I just said, why did we have to divert, it turns out that they are with this group of bastard 'pirates'!"

"I've been tricked! Brit, you're going to die!"

"Don't be in a daze, pull Mr. Carnegie up quickly, and something will happen later, and you will be in a hurry, and it will not be good to sink the boat."

The three cruisers of the Kunz fleet didn't have time to take care of the Aria at the moment. Carnegie and the lawyer remembered it well, and were rescued within a minute.

After boarding the ship, Carnegie's expression was normal, and he briefly told everyone about the deal of 300 million for 30 people. As for the sudden arrival of the Fletcher, he didn't ask a word: Since It's a British gunboat, so it will definitely not help the current situation of the Aria. Anyway, the situation is already the worst, and it can't be too bad, so why not? (To be continued..)
