Alchemy Greater China

It seemed that as long as he regularly handed over his due part of the benefits, then, no matter what inhuman deeds the Japanese army did on the many islands in the Pacific Ocean, Clay Hall would just ignore it.

Of course, for Japan, what they received was not all good news. A piece of bad news came: by the end of [-], Clay Hall raised his voice and increased the share that Japan had to pay for plunder to [-]% !

Of course, Japan was dissatisfied with this. Slowly, at the beginning of [-], Japan had quietly cooperated with the Americans to try to get rid of Clay Hall.

The reason couldn't be simpler. The Japanese think it's 'unreasonable' for Clay Hall to take the big head without doing anything, and the big head is still rising!

His own Yamato soldiers were working hard on the front line, but he could sit on the ground and collect money without doing anything. This is too inconsistent with the "fair principle of more work, more pay"!

Especially when they heard that the U.S. Navy had built a group of powerful battleships, ready to go into battle at any time, the Japanese became more active.

The Americans promised that after defeating Clay Hall, the interests of the Pacific Ocean would be equally shared with the Japanese, and the two sides would be in a position of equal cooperation.

However, what the Japanese didn't expect was that the Panama Canal bombing directly set the United States back for ten years, and the secret agreement between the two parties was shelved indefinitely.

To be honest, the Japanese were taken aback by the explosion in Panama at first, thinking that it was done by someone sent by Clay Hall, and speculated that he may have known the secret agreement between himself and the Americans?

But until April, the Japanese didn't notice any movement from Clay Hall, and they were relieved of their anxiety.

After the Queen of England took away a large part of the main warships of the Pacific Fleet, the Japanese desires began to emerge again.

The queen has returned to the UK, and the mess in Europe can't be cleaned up in two or three years, so.For my big Japan, is there an opportunity for the empty Clay Hall?Thinking of this, the Japanese immediately made a plan, trying to kill Clay Hall alone.

Of course they won't be so reckless this year.

The plan they made was to start next year, which is [-]**[-].Japan will gradually expand the size of the navy, and spend a lot of money to bribe those ship generals who seem to be in harmony with Clay Hall.

When Japan completed its industrial transformation in [-], and had enough soldiers and food, it could start to kill Clay Hall and put the Pacific Ocean on its own dinner plate.

There is no reason why Japan wants to monopolize the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is too rich.

Let's just talk about the route from Australia to America, which was clearly stated by Clay Hall that the Japanese are not allowed to touch it.The profits generated every day are really mouth-watering!

This route carries a lot of expensive goods, and the most expensive ones are all kinds of ores!

The transporter of the ore, called Beluga Energy, is now a 'predator', controlling nearly [-]% of Australia's mines and railways... Wait, someone may ask.Isn't Australia 'three-point world'?

Why has it become the "dominant family" of the white whale now?

um, yes.I forgot to explain, at the beginning of this year, Andrew Carnegie saw how lively Europe was, and in order to express his "welcome and salute", he also lit a "fire" in Australia.

I'm sorry for not burning this 'fire'!Britain was overwhelmed by the German High Seas Fleet, and its influence on Australia plummeted.On the other hand, Carnegie, with the support of the Clay Hall fleet, only swallowed [-]% of the Australian mines, which is already quite benevolent.

Today is April [-]th, and the sun is shining brightly on the land of Australia.A taste of peace.

Carnegie was quite disdainful of what Long Hao called Australia Australia: It was just a broken island where prisoners were exiled, but it was a little bigger, so it was worthy of being called a "continent"?

In Carnegie's view, to be called a "continent", there must either be a developed country, such as Europe, or a long history, such as Asia, South America... and Australia, these two points are not related, the only What can be explained is: Long Hao's next goal is probably Australia!

The alchemy country occupied Australia, and then called itself a big continent. I believe that anyone would be happy to do this kind of thing that puts money on their face.

Carnegie was extremely disdainful of Long Hao's words in San Francisco last year that he would not occupy the land again. Converted into words, it would be two words: "hypocrisy!"

Carnegie cursed Long Hao, and then shouted at Xijieka who was playing with the kangaroo not far away: "Little angel, don't provoke that kangaroo, its fists are very sharp!"

"Gegege, I see, Sumi and I are very good friends...you won't hit me, will you?"

Xijieka kissed the kangaroo and smiled more happily.

Xijieka is a few years older, her chest has begun to show size, and her whole person is even more beautiful.

Although it hasn't bloomed yet, it is already a little beauty that is enough to 'disaster' to a country!

It has to be said that the genes of people of mixed race are good.

Sumi is the big kangaroo that was held by Xijieka's neck and rode on him.

It also contained two small kangaroos that could not jump, and it was jumping around on the pasture with the Seagate card on its back with a helpless face.

It can be seen that Sumi was tamed by Xijieka to be very obedient.

Can you be disobedient?

Carnegie withdrew his gaze, sneered inwardly, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the sunshine of Australia at ease.

Seagate was already called 'Alchemist' at this time, and since she lived with Long Hao for two months, she surprised Carnegie when she came back.

A weak little girl can actually manipulate plants!

As long as there is green, it will be difficult for others to hurt her.

Carnegie still clearly remembered that when Sumi the kangaroo was first captured, he had a rebellious temperament, and his two forearms, which were not considered thick, instantly knocked down three of Carnegie's outstanding big bodyguards.

However, when Sumi encounters the seemingly harmless Seajeka, it is completely unlucky.

Anyone who stumbles over a thousand somersaults on the grass under their feet in a day will restrain his violent temper?What's more, on the second day, Su Mi, who was covered in bruises, was hoisted into the sky by several thick vines, with his head facing down.A full eight hours... Even Carnegie felt sympathy for Sumi after watching it.

Now that the precious daughter has learned such a remarkable skill, Carnegie's complaints about Long Hao's taking away the Seagate card for two months disappeared immediately.

Who doesn't want their daughter to have the ability to protect themselves?

Regarding Long Hao's 'method', Carnegie asked Seagate a lot, except for the term 'alchemist'.Then nothing more.

When he saw his little angel saying to himself pitifully: "This must be kept secret...", Carnegie gave up the idea of ​​asking the bottom line.

Hey, as long as my little angel is happy and healthy, what kind of alchemist does he care about? I don’t care about Long Hao’s mysterious shit, can’t he?

However, there are some things that Carnegie is responsible for, and it is impossible not to touch them.

Less than a week after Seagate returned home, Long Hao approached Carnegie and asked him to find an open space in Australia.People are not allowed to live in it, and it is rich in mineral deposits. Well, at least [-] square kilometers must be there, so give it to him as soon as possible.

Twenty thousand square kilometers!

Carnegie's first reaction after hearing this was to slap Long Hao in the face: [-] square kilometers of no man's land must have potential for mineral deposits. Even if Australians are sparsely populated, it's not easy to manage!

But complaints are complaints.Carnegie got Long Hao such a large piece of no-man's land that meets the conditions as quickly as possible.

After the no-man's land was established, Long Hao came here with a hundred Chinese children.

Carnegie looked at it.He was very surprised by this, because he had never been to San Francisco. With a good memory, he recognized a few of the hundred children as students of the football school!

During a certain event, Carnegie happened to watch one of their football matches, and one of the kids won seven dollars.impressive.

Carnegie wondered on the spot, what did Long Hao bring a hundred football school students here for?

[-] square kilometers, how many football fields can be built?

Could it be that they came here to train football skills?

Carnegie's question did not get a positive answer from Long Hao, Long Hao just told him: "In a few years, these children in your eyes will shock you!"

Carnegie didn't have the patience to wait for a few years. As the saying goes, 1 years is too long to seize the day. He wanted to know the answer now, but Long Hao always gave him a mysterious smile, which made Carnegie angry and angry. helpless.

And then, what surprised Carnegie again was that when Seagate saw these one hundred children, he ran up obediently and called a few of them 'senior brothers'.

Well, shixiong, that's the Chinese pronunciation, Carnegie memorized it silently, and after seeing off Long Hao and his party, he asked someone to look up the Chinese meaning of this pronunciation.

After knowing it, Carnegie was surprised again, but after thinking about it for a while, the doubts in his heart were reduced a lot.

Aren't these kids just playing football?

They, like my little angels, have some kind of magical special ability?

Oh, no wonder Long Hao said, in a few years, they will shock me!

Damn, I don't have to wait a few years, I'm shocked now...

The no-man's land is in the southeast corner of Australia. It is a desolate area with mountains and rivers. It is mainly home to local Australian animals. The few hunters, after taking the benefits from the Beluga Energy Group, also I moved away happily, and went to the city to live the long-awaited urban life.

So, there's really no one here.

The purpose of Long Hao bringing these [-] alchemists to Australia is to exercise their collaboration ability.

One hundred alchemists are the strongest and most potential force in Long Hao's alchemy school. Like the breeze and rain, they have obtained various "super powers" after entering the alchemist's threshold .

These abilities are normal, such as fire control, water control, wind control, grass control...

There are also abnormal ones, such as soft body, super speed, hypnosis, animal communication...

In order to integrate these miscellaneous 'superpowers' together, they need to explore a lot and experiment a lot.

This time, the [-]-square-kilometer no-man's land that Long Hao asked Carnegie to come is for them to toss and toss at will!

The more tossing, the greater the movement, the higher the proficiency of cooperation.

Only in this way can they live up to their envied 'superpowers'!

Can you not be envious?

At least Long Hao didn't see a 'little' alchemist in later generations who could have bonus abilities, even if it was him, until now, until he became an alchemist.Only then has an extra superpower to control gravity.

Of course, having said that, these 'superpowers' are just small ways after all, and what Long Hao wants to cultivate is their big way: alchemy.

To put it bluntly, it is to improve their metal hearts, increase their efficiency in absorbing metal elements, and increase the energy of gold sources.

Before touching the bottleneck of Metal Heart, they can complete self-improvement by finding good or bad metal ores by themselves.

This no man's land.In fact, it is the 'experimental field' that Long Hao gave these one hundred alchemists.

There must be mineral veins inside, but because it is no man's land, even if there were, they have not been excavated yet.

All these require a hundred people to find them.

Long Hao gave them a lecture: "I have already taught you the method of finding mineral veins. Next, how to cultivate is your own business! Master leads the door and practice is personal. I have always believed in this old saying. You should Remember, you are already good enough to be an alchemist, but if you want to go to the next level and become a successful person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, this trial is very important to you!"

Alchemists also have ranks, and Long Hao treats these apprentices and grandchildren.It will not be piled with gold like cultivating Breeze and Rain and Little Keyesula.

The times are different, and now he pursues the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest: I will create the conditions for you.But who can stand out depends on the hard work and luck of each of you.

The [-]-square-kilometer no-man's land is such a testing ground.

After Long Hao finished his training, he drifted away.

He gave these one hundred alchemy disciples one year, and after one year, he would come back to check the results.

In the test field of no man's land.Long Hao only set a rule that killing each other is not allowed, and as for mutual cooperation, it is at the discretion of the individual and will not be forced.

a year.Around the beginning of [-], Long Hao will be able to obtain an alchemy team composed of a hundred reborn alchemists!

During this year, Long Hao will also find time to quietly come over to observe the progress. After all, this batch of one hundred alchemy disciples are rare and good seedlings, and losing one will make Long Hao feel distressed.

After settling the hundred alchemy seedlings, Long Hao hurried back to his motherland.

Since the Jiawu year, too many things have happened on the land of China. To simplify and summarize, even if the complete failure of the Jiawu naval battle was avoided, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was still greatly shaken!

The Weihai Treaty is one aspect, and after the Japanese were beaten out of Korea by the Nightmare Knights, the imperial court's attitude towards this group of national heroes is another aspect.

At the end of [-], after Empress Dowager Cixi had a not-so-comfortable but luxurious birthday, the Qing army launched a fierce siege against the Nightmare Knights.

The Qing army, with Beiyang as the backbone, took the action of exterminating this suspected horse bandit outside the customs, but dared to speak loudly in support of Emperor Guangxu's restoration.

The Qing army blocked the return of the Nightmare Knights to the north, trying to trap them to death on the Korean Peninsula.

But this is obviously wishful thinking of the Qing army.

In December of the Jiawu year, Shengjing announced to join the camp supporting the restoration of Emperor Guangxu. They sent troops and horses to attack with the Nightmare Knights back and forth, and beat up the unprepared Qing army guarding the border between China and North Korea.

On December [-], Emperor Guangxu was rescued in Beijing, escorted by the Nightmare Knights who had already entered Shandong, and arrived in Nanjing.

When the Spring Festival came, Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne in Nanjing with the great help of Liu Kunyi, announcing to the outside world that the Qing Dynasty was orthodox here, and that the old demon queen in Beijing was rebellious, calling on all the loyal people in the world to crusade against him!

On the second day of the new year, the Empress Dowager Cixi responded immediately. She brought a five-year-old child from her clan and made him the new emperor, named Xuantong, to fight against Emperor Guangxu in Nanjing.

This jaw-dropping state of affairs is known in history as the "Yiwei Kingdom Change".

The Yiwei State Change divided the Qing Dynasty into North and South.

Historians generally refer to the imperial court in Beijing as the Northern Qing Dynasty, and the Guangxu Emperor in Nanjing as the first emperor of the Southern Qing Dynasty.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone such a sensitive title as the emperor.

In the year of Yiwei ([-]), the Lantern Festival had not yet passed, and both sides of the river were tense, and various forces were faced with the choice of standing in line. The brains and aides would be together, thinking hard, and calculating for the master which side they should stand on!

Standing right, there are at least three generations of glory and wealth.

But if you make a wrong stand, hehe, the savings of several lifetimes will be wiped out, and the whole family will have to be chopped off!

The situation at this time is somewhat similar to the battle of Jingnan in the early Ming Dynasty.

There are two emperors in Beijing and Nanjing, and both sides are gearing up to fight for the only emperor by force.

The only difference is that in the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was the official imperial city, but now, Beijing is the nominal orthodox imperial capital.

Various forces stepped up their calculations, but the more they calculated, the more they discovered that this time it was indeed very similar to Jing Nan in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was the one in Nanjing who had the upper hand!

But the result, will it be the same as the battle of Jingnan?

In the end, the weak defeated the strong?

For a time, many forces were quite entangled.

Someone made a list, from generals to soldiers, from equipment to food, to carefully analyze the military strength of the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern Qing Dynasty.

But for those who understand, it only takes one sentence to explain this comparative relationship clearly.

There was Beiyang in the Northern Qing Dynasty, and Liu Kunyi in the Southern Qing Dynasty.

Liu Kunyi now not only represents Nanyang, he also represents friendly cooperative relations with foreign forces.

For example, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is about to turn defeat into victory in the European battlefield, for example, the Alchemy Kingdom, which began to hide its strength and bide its time at the end of last year.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has guns, and the Alchemy Kingdom has money. With these two points alone, even if Beiyang expands its army ten times, it will not be its opponent! (To be continued..)
