Alchemy Greater China

These words were not long, just over five minutes, but after they were spoken, the audience fell silent.

Uh, is this... what the commander of the British Home Fleet said?

Hey, did you come all the way from the Bering Strait to the Pacific Ocean just to protect Long Hao and negotiate peacefully with him?

If yes, what did you call the Indian Ocean Fleet?

You used so many warships to surround Long Hao, and why did you ask Dempsey and the others to take a bunch of 'ambiguous' photos and bring them back?

Pit dad, are you kidding us?

Most people find this answer unacceptable.

After a moment of dead silence, all kinds of voices finally erupted layer by layer in the municipal square!

Not to mention earth-shattering, at least it can make people's eardrums swell and they can't hear what they say clearly!

"This is fake. We can't tell who this voice is, but I bet that person is definitely not Major General Clayhall!"

It's two of John's men shouting.

"Yes, yes, yes, I recognize it, this is an amplified phonograph! This is a scam by Tesla, Nikola Tesla, this must be a fake recording made by him, I am an employee of Edison Company, registered in the United States Electrical engineer, on this point, I have a say!"

This is the multi-faceted agent of Edison's company shouting.

"Yes, this is fake news! This is an insult to the IQ of the American people... Come on, everyone, smash this phonograph full of lies! Come on!"

This is the ace reporter of the "New York Times". He is best at inciting people and demagoguery.

Needless to say, immediately after the shout, a group of people wanted to rush forward to rush away Wade's arrangement.Take down that row of machines.

Needless to say, this group of 'thugs' were taken down immediately. Think about it, San Jose is Wade's territory, and it is also Long Hao's sphere of influence. Messed up the press conference.That's really ridiculous!

"I assure you, this original recording is definitely not forged. We asked Major General Clay Hall to record it himself!"

Wade suppressed his hand, held the audience, and said with a serious face: "It doesn't matter if some people don't believe it, because next, the video of the major general's speech will convince you!"

For video, the plaza is not enough, but that's okay.Wade was already prepared.

The police came out and waved their iron rods to clear the area, leaving a large area in the center of the square and around the machines.

Then, a group of strong men in gray clothes came in carrying all kinds of materials. Without any delay, they quickly got busy in the open space.

From the flowing movements, it can be seen that they are skilled workers.And he's a master at setting up tents!

Almost in the blink of an eye, a 'circus tent' rose from the ground.

The onlookers couldn't help but be dumbfounded: how so.Don't you want to see some video?Why did you invite out of the circus all of a sudden?Fuck me, what the hell is the San Jose Mercury doing?

The answer was soon revealed: the so-called 'speech video' was played in this 'circus' tent.

If you want to go in, please pay to buy tickets.

Wade's explanation for this is: the admission of tickets is not because the "Courier" lacks money, but because the seats in the tent are limited.In addition, I also hope that through this method, malicious troublemakers will be excluded as much as possible.

The price of tickets is not set too high, a hundred dollars a piece, really 'filters' out some hired proletarians... and those who are desperate to know the answer.I could only grit my teeth, curse and dig out!

Hmph, buy medicine for your family!

Those who had evil intentions and hoped that Long Hao would be unlucky, when they walked into the tent, they all sent their most sincere greetings to Wade's relatives with "respect"...

The lights in the big tent dimmed quickly, and I didn't know what the material of the tent was. In short, the light-shielding property is very good, and the most appropriate description is that you can't see your fingers.

After the spectators who bought tickets took their seats, a beam of light appeared out of nowhere. It was different from traditional circuses in that it was not in the center, but lit up in a corner of the tent.

The eyes of the audience were all attracted by the beam of light, but under the beam of light, a white cloth wall stood upright, ten meters long and five meters high, with nothing on it.

Just when people were curious, the beam of light disappeared again, and then, a beam of light with a much smaller range shot horizontally and hit the cloth wall... Under the gaze of people's surprised eyes, the white cloth wall suddenly appeared. image!

That's right, it's the image, clearly as if a "magic door" was opened on the cloth wall, and the magnificent and changeable world at the other end of the "door" is displayed in front of you.

The vivid images moved, from the blue sky to the sea, and then to a big ship on the sea.

Battleships with cannons!

The flagship of the British Home Fleet - Shanks!

Standing on the deck was a very attractive middle-aged officer. The star-shaped scar on his face seemed to be able to radiate brilliance even in the daytime.

That's right, he is the British Royal Rear Admiral, known as the most promising star in the future of the British Navy: Meyer Clayhall.

In the big tent, after a brief exclamation and noise, it fell into extreme silence.

The exclamation just now was surprise, and the noise was the exchange of information between those who recognized Clay Hall and those who did not.

At this moment, ninety-nine percent of the audience already knew that the major general on the cloth wall was really Major General Clayhall!

Against the background of the silent and quiet environment of the audience, the images on the cloth wall are still beating, and at the same time, the sounds of the waves, bugles, and sirens behind the major general are also well coordinated.

This made the 'hillies' in the big tent who had never seen a movie feel a wonderful feeling of being there: as if they were in the vast sea, among the iron-blooded warships.

Time is advancing without turning back. In the darkness, Clay Hall's unique and extremely magnetic voice came, ringing beams and pillars, and everyone could hear it clearly: This major general recorded the original words just now. ' Li said what he said exactly, with the same tone of voice, but this time, combined with his expression, gestures and occasional exposed teeth, it seemed so convincing!

……

The image is not long.In just over eight minutes, as soon as the beam of light went out, the image on the cloth wall disappeared, and the entire tent fell into boundless darkness again.

Fortunately, the darkness did not last long, and the lights came on quickly.

People in the tent.Regardless of their identities and missions, they all looked to the side, and all they saw were astonished and incredulous faces.

Everyone has nothing to say anymore. Although this video is magical, it is not incomprehensible. Using continuous photos to play quickly should be able to get such an effect.

Now, everyone is more concerned about: Since the words of Major General Clay Hall have been proven to be true, then.How should we deal with ourselves?

Those who waited to see Long Hao's jokes, or waited for Long Hao's downfall so that they could take advantage of it, their wishful thinking was ruthlessly broken, and they were suddenly a little at a loss, and their eyes were full of confusion.

"Well, the facts are like this. Everyone has seen that there is no life-and-death hatred between Major General Clay Hall and the King of the Alchemy Kingdom. The reason why the major general traveled thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean and found His Majesty the King on the vast ocean. The reason is to protect him!" Wade's voice sounded again, but this time, few people listened to what he said!

Protect?

Stop making international jokes!Do you need to make a big fuss and lead so many first-class warships to protect a king who has almost no enemies in the Pacific region?

Besides, if it's protection, then why did you let the Dempsey reporter group spread the false impression that you used warships to besiege the main force of Long Hao's submarine?

Isn't it just to fool some people - Long Hao's enemies?

Spectators in the tent.Ninety percent of the time, there were ten thousand mud horses whizzing by in my heart... Among them, the garden of the soul was trampled the most miserably by the mud horses, undoubtedly the two spies sent by John.

They clutched their stomachs and hadn't finished listening to the 'press conference'.They ran out quickly: they wanted to report this amazing news to their masters!So much so that they unfortunately missed Wade's subsequent promotion for the upcoming movie, and they didn't film the Lumiere brothers and the handsome and bubbling movie starring Tom Court...

Well, a media war centered on 'Long Hao is surrounded' finally ended with the "San Jose Courier-Journal" winning a big victory. The first appearance of the video of the speech will bring Dedesi. The photos in Monroe's hands are worthless.

It is said that afterwards, this newly popular American stunner was so ashamed and angry that he almost committed suicide...

However, compared with the slightly immature media war, what is more dangerous and attracts more attention... is the ever-changing and turbulent stock futures market.

Especially the gold index futures market in the United States.

On April 22, the national gold price in the United States, after two days of hard support, began to plummet like a Niagara Falls.

The price of gold in New York fell by $30 within an hour, closing at 253 and a half yuan;

Gold prices in Boston, closing at $249;

The Gold Index Exchange in Chicago was even more gloomy and mournful. In the middle of the session, the price of gold fell to the lowest point of 232 US dollars. In the end, the two consortiums of Morgan and Rockefeller came forward to support the market, and the closing price was maintained. $245!

In just three days, or in other words, just today, an ounce of gold dropped by a full fifty dollars!

Those speculators with short and long orders completely reversed their emotions. According to incomplete statistics, at least 500 people went into shock on the exchange due to various reasons, and [-]% of them were rescued and died!

It can be said that the 22nd is a "dark day" in the history of gold futures trading. Speculators holding heavy positions either have myocardial infarction, or climbed onto the roof with a gray face...

Compared with these speculators who look down on life and love gambling, the nerves of the two Johns are naturally tougher and thicker, but...at this moment, they are not in a good mood.

Yes, anyone who sees the cooked duck flying in the pot will not feel happy.

What's more, the duck that flew away opened its mouth before leaving, showing its fangs, and turned back to bite itself.

This nm is not a duck at all, but a vampire bat who entered in disorder?

Morgan said: "It's just playing the piano! The British mainland fleet, Meyer Clayhall, they are all crazy! After sending so many warships and searching for so many days, they finally surrounded the main force of Long Hao's submarine. Just to protect him? Such nonsense. It's a shame that someone will believe it!"

Rockefeller said: "No matter how absurd it is, as long as there are facts to support it, it will have an impact on the market! Morgan, you and I have been in the financial market for many years, and we should understand this iron law very well! The market has such a reaction, naturally It’s just that some people believe it! They see that there is no hope for the outbreak of war. Naturally, they are so disappointed that they sell the gold in their hands, and when it is reflected in the price, it will plummet! This is not surprising.”

Morgan gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. Something must have happened to the British mainland fleet. Otherwise, how dare Clay Hall dare to violate King Edward's order and marry Long Hao privately?"

Rockefeller said: "It's useless to say these things now. The top priority is to find evidence as soon as possible. It proves that the peace talks between the British Navy and Long Hao are only Clay Hall's personal wishes... I have thought about it, we need His Majesty King Edward's Solidarity, otherwise, according to this method of decline, by May [-]st, we will lose hundreds of millions of dollars, or even more! Hey, although we can deny it and not honor it, but that is the last resort after all!"

to be honest.The two Johns were indeed beaten for a while by the reversal of the gold price. They deeply suspected that Melissa must have known these things a long time ago, so they used 19 billion US dollars of gold to 'entice' themselves to sign a contract. Under the 'life and death contract'.

Now, instead of thinking about how to cheat on May [-]st, it is necessary to find a solution to the problem.

no doubt.King Edward VII of England is an obvious breakthrough point. He and Long Hao are in the same situation because of the Queen's problem, and they will never allow Clay Hall to "mess up".

……

One of the most direct victims of Clay Hall's 'random' is the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Glenn Lonny.

Lonny hadn't expected it.What I thought was an extremely relaxing 'holiday' trip turned into a dark and unlimited 'prisoner's trip' after meeting Clay Hall!

That day, Lonnie was tricked into boarding the Shanks, and then Clayhower suddenly turned his face and ordered someone to take Lonnie down. Then, the Indian Ocean Fleet was incorporated by Clayhower.

For Lonnie, this completely unexpected treatment almost drove him crazy: Meyer!Are you crazy about eating the wrong beef?Why are you arresting me?Also, it's fine if you arrest me, give me a reason!Well, it doesn't matter if you don't give a reason, but at least let me defend a few words!

Woohoo, don't lock me in the stinky bilge that suffocates people to death, my old body can't stand the dirty sewage, and those disgusting peeling rats...

That's right, after the unlucky Lonnie was captured, Clayhall didn't even give him a chance to speak, and he was directly sent to the bottom cabin and imprisoned.

In Clayhall's view, Lonnie, a retired old navy who was promoted entirely by Edward VII, is not worth buying at all. If it wasn't for the stability of the Indian Ocean Fleet, he would even want to save Lonnie's rations.

This old and incompetent lecherous old man is a diehard loyalist of Edward VII, hanging his life is the highest treatment for him!

In this regard, the official explanation given by Clayhall to the Indian Ocean Fleet is: Commander Lonnie committed treason. He violated his oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen and took refuge in the arms of Edward the Hypocrites. I, Meyer Clay Hall, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, take him down, the captains of the other ships, now it is your turn to make a choice, whether you choose to continue to work for the tiger and serve Edward, or choose to serve the Queen and get rid of Edward for her Under the clutches of the VII, fighting to regain control of British power?

Queen Victoria of England has a very high prestige in the hearts of the British people. In addition, when Clay Hall issued such a 'choice question', most of the captains of the Indian Ocean Fleet were also spoofed on board the Shanks, and they had a feast Just take them all.

Therefore, with a sword on the neck, people will make rational choices.

Ever since, before encircling the main force of the Long Hao submarine, Clay Hall completed the integration of the local fleet and the Indian Ocean fleet.

Overnight, the total number of warships under his control almost approached the size of the local fleet when it set off from England!

After cooperating with Long Hao to perform the encirclement scene, Clay Hall came to Long Hao's room, closed the door, and knelt down with a plop, with a flattering face and a star-shaped scar bowing his knees... that look He is so cheap that normal people can't help but rub their footprints on his face.

"Master, please give me some wic! I can't help it..."

Clay Hall said pitifully, he didn't even have the appearance of a majestic major general.

"Hehe, I know you're cursing me in your heart, but it's okay, I don't need your absolute loyalty, you, as long as you are loyal to it!"

Long Hao chuckled, and popped out a small box. After receiving it, Clay Hall hurriedly opened it, moved his nostrils tremblingly, and sucked the powder inside forcefully.

After a while, a contented expression appeared on his face, he closed his eyes, and knelt on the ground, as if ascended to heaven, walking on the fragrant cloud of angels...

After taking the food, Clay Hall returned to normal. He calmed down and said to Long Hao devoutly: "Master, you have misunderstood me. I am loyal to you, and I dare not have the slightest disagreement... ..."

"Come on, do you have anything else to do? Go out if you have nothing to do. Here, take this box with you. It contains a week's supply, which is enough for you!" Long Hao waved his hand impatiently and said with a smile: "It's a reward for you , I have watched the short film you co-produced today, and I am quite satisfied."

"Ah, thank you, master!"

Clarehauer carefully put the box away and stuck it to his heart: "Master, I don't understand one thing. Why do you deliberately create the illusion of being surrounded by us?" (To be continued...)
