The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 389 You gave me money and supplies, not me giving you money

"Let him come over!" Chen Zhengwei turned his head and glanced at Randolph Churchill.

Cream-baked lobster, boiled chicken, blanched conch slices, steamed spareribs with black bean sauce, and smoked cabbage, all kinds of things filled half the table.

However, Chen Zhengwei had no intention of inviting Randolph Churchill to eat with him.

Having someone pour him some whiskey, Chen Zhengwei ate while saying:

"You sent people to attack the hotel from the side while it was raining heavily. You thought I would panic and call back the people at the front line when the hotel was attacked. Then you could chase them from behind. If all went well, you might be able to catch me directly. In the worst case, you could push my defense line to the vicinity of the hotel!"

"How did you know?" Nelson was shocked when he heard the words and felt a sense of horror in his heart.

He even suspected that there was a spy in his own command center.

But on second thought, I knew it was impossible, because the adjutant and the combat staff were all brought here by me personally, and they have been with me for many years.

Others don't know his full plan.

"Isn't this hard to guess? You were still climbing trees while we were playing military tactics!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"So I set up an ambush on Brad Street and Ritter Street. The people you sent are sitting ducks!"

"In order to gather your forces for the attack, a lot of loopholes appeared in your defense line. My men walked right through without anyone noticing!"

"By the way, those strongholds of yours were left by me for you. Explosives were buried underneath long ago, and they were originally intended to be detonated for counterattack, but you gathered everyone together, and then as long as you set fire... Boom!"

"My men took advantage of the situation and attacked from both sides. Then your troops were gone, just like snow melting in the sun."

Although Chen Zhengwei said it lightly, there was a bright smile on his face and he was very proud of it.

An army brigadier general who had been promoted for his military exploits was easily defeated by his own army despite having superior forces. Even if he failed to annihilate the enemy completely, he could not have escaped much.

He couldn't find anyone to brag to, so Nelson in front of him was the best target.

Nelson was stunned after hearing this. Although Chen Zhengwei made it sound simple, everyone knew how difficult it was.

It seemed as if the other party's eyes could see through everything and see through all of his plans, which allowed him to make such targeted arrangements.

He began to suspect again that there was a traitor in his own command center.

This is not something humans can do.

"Do you plan to meet with the reporters? And then tell the reporters that you want to go home and you miss your mother!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile again.

Nelson paid no attention to Chen Zhengwei's humiliation and asked absentmindedly, "Is there a traitor in my headquarters?"

"Do you think I arranged a traitor?" Chen Zhengwei was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Like I said, your mind is as easy to guess as a child!"

After hearing Chen Zhengwei's answer, Nelson was filled with despair. All his efforts and hard work over the years, as well as his persistence, were shattered and trampled under his feet.

The whole person was in a state of disarray.

"Send him to where he should go!" Chen Zhengwei glanced at the distraught Nelson. His desire to show off was satisfied, so there was no need to keep him here.

When the thugs took Nelson away, Nelson didn't resist at all. It seemed as if all his spirit had been drained away.

He didn't even ask what would happen to them.

"I have to say, what amazing insight and tactical ability!" Randolph Churchill praised after watching Nelson being taken away.

He has made the situation clear.

If what Chen Zhengwei said was true, it would be terrible, but he didn't completely believe it in his heart. He didn't believe that anyone had such insight.

But this is not important. What is important is that Chen Zhengwei has now annihilated three army regiments, and it seems that the United States is in some trouble.

"Now you can introduce yourself!" Chen Zhengwei said after looking at him, appearing arrogant.

Although Randolph Churchill did not like Chen Zhengwei's attitude, he knew what was more important.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for winning this battle! Amazing performance!"

"Mr. Chen, although you annihilated three army regiments..."

"It's four!" Chen Zhengwei reminded him.

"Yes, four!" Randolph readily agreed. The deaths of the 22nd Army Regiment made it seem so insignificant.

"But the army still has twenty such regiments, and it can be expanded to two hundred at any time. Maybe we can talk about it, and it will help you!"

"Who can you represent?" Chen Zhengwei asked without comment.

"I am British! I can represent the British Minister!" Randolph Churchill puffed out his chest and said with a little reserve.

……

Randolph Churchill is the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough. In fact, he has a little connection with Chen Zhengwei - because his wife is the daughter of Leonard Jerome, a shareholder of the New York Times.

As we all know, the death of George Jones, the owner of the New York Times, has nothing to do with Chen Zhengwei, but many people think it is related.

Because of his recklessness... (the specific reason was the complicated relationship between the Prince of Wales, the Countess, his brother and several other people), he could no longer survive in the social circle in London, so he went to Ireland to work as the secretary of the Governor... The Governor was his father.

Unfortunately, he contracted syphilis again, and the doctor recommended that he travel and change his environment to promote recovery. So he came to the United States this time to treat his illness and to investigate and look for opportunities.

Soon after he arrived in New York, he got to know Chen Zhengwei, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. Instead, he was focused on making friends with American wealthy people and politicians.

As we all know, only the eldest son can inherit the territory and title of the British nobility. He has no share and he has to rely on his own efforts.

This was also the reason why he proposed to the woman even though he knew that she was the lover of the Prince of Wales. The other party also needed an identity of aristocratic blood, and the two parties hit it off immediately.

(Note: During this period, the nouveau riche in the United States were very keen to marry European nobles to obtain the noble status of aristocratic blood. It just so happened that most European nobles had castles and titles, but no money! Therefore, this kind of marriage has a name, called "Dollar Princess")
Afterwards, Chen Zhengwei caused a big stir in the United States. When he visited the British Minister Sir Edward Thornton, he heard something about it and volunteered to come here.

In fact, his companion Henry Attlee was the person sent by the British Minister, but Henry Attlee was not interested in this mission, so he naturally took the lead in this mission.

……

"You can continue!" Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly, and while eating his midnight snack, he gestured to the other party to continue.

"Britain has always been concerned about human rights issues in the United States! Sir Edward Thornton has also heard about the persecution of some ethnic minorities and feels sympathy. He can come forward to protest to the US government. Britain's influence in the United States is different from that of the Qing Dynasty. Even Americans should pay attention to the views of the British!"

"Of course, if you want, you can also immigrate to the UK with your people!"

"Of course, nothing in this world comes without a price. I think you can understand that. You need to pay something!" Randolph Churchill said with some temptation.

"For example, your gunpowder formula and new types of firearms!"

Chen Zhengwei sneered, raised his hand to interrupt him, raised his head and said as a matter of course: "I'm not going to pay anything."

"You should give me something!"

"They included expressing pressure, providing me with equipment and financial support, and even opening air routes to help me transport some things!"

"This is impossible!" Randolph Churchill showed a surprised expression. He thought this Chinese was simply crazy.

"It's entirely possible! After all, my being here is the biggest benefit to you!" Chen Zhengwei said with a playful smile.

"The United States has a much larger territory than Britain, and its technology and economy are developing very fast, which can be transformed into war potential in a short period of time! You want to maintain your international status, so you have been dragging the United States down!"

"I don't know where you heard this from..." Randolph Churchill wanted to deny it, but Chen Zhengwei interrupted him directly: "I don't like people interrupting me!"

Seeing Chen Zhengwei's somewhat unfriendly look, Randolph Churchill shut up.

He was surprised to find that this Chinese man actually had a very sophisticated international vision, which was completely different from what he had previously thought.

How could a Chinese man who is involved in gangs in the United States know all this?

Thinking about the fact that the other side had annihilated four infantry regiments of the army, although he did not quite believe what Chen Zhengwei had said before, he had to admit that Chen Zhengwei was indeed extraordinary.

Randolph Churchill felt that everyone underestimated this Chinese man.

Chen Zhengwei continued as if it was a matter of course: "So it should be you who should give me money and things! Instead of me giving you money and things!"

"As for supplies, I need a complete set of production equipment for weapons and ammunition! You should give it to me and send me some skilled technicians."

"Go and convince your British envoy! I can give you an extra benefit!"

"Mr. Chen, you may have misunderstood something!" Randolph Churchill struggled hard when he found that the direction of things was completely different from what he expected.

Chen Zhengwei pulled out a gun from his waist and threw it on the table.

"Tell me, what did I misunderstand?"

Randolph Churchill was silent for a moment, then said, "I will tell the Minister what you said."

"One hundred thousand dollars!" Chen Zhengwei looked at him and said.

After all, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a complete set of weapons and ammunition production equipment, not to mention that it can also help to establish connections with the British and gain their support.

What Chen Zhengwei values most about the British is their influence in Southeast Asia and the shipping routes controlled by the British.

When Randolph Churchill heard the price, he immediately felt a little nervous.

After all, his family gives him one thousand pounds a month, and his father-in-law gives him two thousand pounds a month, which adds up to about fourteen thousand dollars.

And it costs a lot to maintain his decent life.

One hundred thousand dollars is a good haul.

Especially Chen Zhengwei's idea is correct.

Britain was indeed always trying to hold the United States back, so they always supported the South during the Civil War.

"I will convince the Minister!" Randolph Churchill vowed.

"I'll give you the money after the deal is done!" Chen Zhengwei nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you want to buy some property in Chicago?"

"Recently, due to the impact of the war, the price of properties in Chicago is very low! You can buy a property worth $200,000 at half the price, $100,000! There will be a good income every month!"

Chen Zhengwei only needs to spend 20,000 US dollars to buy it.

"Sounds good!" Randolph Churchill suddenly became interested.
