Opening game, American Tycoon

Consensus is the first step in negotiation.

In fact, no matter how tough Washington's attitude is, deep down in their hearts they are absolutely unwilling to go to war with Ming, and of course, they will not accept Ming's occupation of Cuba.

They neither want to fight a war, nor do they want Ming to occupy Cuba.

Then there is only one way left, which is naturally diplomatic coordination.

What is the prerequisite for diplomatic mediation?Of course it is strength.

Why did the United States and Britain send fleets to Cuba? To put it bluntly, it was to show their strength. Of course, the purpose of the United Kingdom was not pure. They hoped that Ming would fight the United States.

Now that the Americans have shown their strength, Daming has to show his strength too!

For a time, Havana gathered almost all the main battleships of Ming Dynasty and the United States in the Atlantic Ocean.

Both parties try to make each other understand in this way-my muscles are very strong, you want to tear your face, you have to be careful with me.

But in essence, every warship here is prepared for diplomatic mediation and is the capital of diplomatic mediation.

What Oswald didn't know was that he was walking towards the situation that Ma Rulong had laid out little by little. Under Ma Rulong's guidance, he confessed little by little, which seemed to have nothing to do with the assassination itself. , But what he didn't know was that for these interrogation experts, all they needed was this information, and in this seemingly ancient information, they could get the answers they thought of.

The answer, they've got it.

On the way to the interrogation room, Jing Zaigui, an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau, said to Ma Rulong.

"You, how did you know?"

"Are you sure?"

Seeing that Oswald changed the subject, Ma Rulong took out a telegram, stared at Oswald and asked.

"Really, with your income at the time, if you want to raise enough money, you must try many ways. Of course, it is very likely that you also have sponsors. Of course. For the sake of confidentiality, you may use other means To solve financial problems, such as robbery."

"Thank you."

This is a very heart-wrenching question.

"Okay, now you have the answers you need."

"Since you have prepared for such a long time, spent so much energy, and of course money... Then, I am curious, where did your money come from!"

"Since the day I made this decision, sir, I have not thought about living."

Only when the two parties have communicated well can the next step be carried out.

"In your eyes, Ming Dynasty is indeed an invader, and Chile...was indeed occupied by Ming Dynasty and perished."

"Anyway, I collected enough money, and then I started to follow him. Finally, I implemented my plan here. My appearance is not much different from yours. I can hide in Chinatown very well, so the operation went smoothly without any People noticed me, even until the shots were fired."

"Facts can prove that Peru is not as innocent as they say. After all, it is well known that there must be many connections between those mineral companies and Peruvian officials. What we need now is to prove this."

"Mr. Oswald, you still have one chance now. If you confess to them, I assure you that they will get a fair trial and there is a good chance that they will survive. After all, they did not directly participate in the assassination! But wait until we When they are found, what will be waiting for them?"

"me……"

"Do you believe?"

Oswald was a little puzzled, looking at the interrogator in front of him.

"That's why they let us come over, Captain Jing, let's meet this Oswald together!"

Oswald said a little excitedly.

"This is not a rumor, but a fact. I have witnessed it with my own eyes..."

"They will stop us from using torture every time. According to the Spaniards, it is to avoid torture, and there will be a lawyer on the side. If our inquiry is inductive, he will directly point it out..."

"Inspector Ma, in a word, this job is not easy."

Although I don't want to face it, this is indeed an iron-clad fact.

Even Oswald knew that the possibility was slim. After all, there were even more famous people living there than whites, and those Indians supported their rule, even mixed races.No one can drive them away.

Ten minutes later, on their way out of the interrogation room, Ma Rulong handed the interrogation report to Jing Zaigui and spoke to him.

Of course, this truth is not only their concern, the Spaniards are also concerned.

Oswald frowned when he heard the word robbery.Although the reaction was very slight, it still fell into Ma Rulong's eyes, and then he said.

It is too easy to prove this point.After all, many of the shareholders of those mining companies are Peruvian officials.

Oswald replied.

When they entered the interrogation room, the assassin Oswald had already arrived, and an American lawyer was sitting next to him. Yes, he was an American litigator, who came here to ensure that he would not be treated unfairly.

Oswald was dumbfounded by the interrogator's words, and he looked at the other party in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.

The display of the strength of the fleets of the two countries belongs to the display, and it is necessary to prevent misfires.

As for what the answer was, even the person in charge of the interrogation didn't know.

"You...you know!"

Jing Zaigui said with a smile.

Sitting opposite, Ma Rulong didn't speak, he took out a pack of cigarettes and smoked two.

"This is almost your only choice, but what kind of target would you rob? Banks, no, you certainly can't rob a bank yourself. And according to our intelligence, in the months before and after Mr. Wang's visit to Peru Among them, there was no bank robbery. But a mining company was robbed, and if I guessed correctly, your partner was among the mining companies."

Oswald's answer made Ma Rulong silently nod his head in his heart, he knew the answer was already there.

Once the misfire happened, what will happen next is beyond their control.

"First of all, I must declare one point. The reason why I said the following words is entirely for my friends, not because of betrayal, but because I want to protect them."

"You, you... what are you talking about? This is nothing."

Even in the bottom of my heart, I dismissed his statement. After all, it is well known that under their rule, the Indians are not human at all, and even the mixed races are inferior. , but Ma Rulong still nodded along with his words.

Money can explain everything!
Oswald was taken aback by the sudden question, and he said it directly.

"You're welcome."

The investigation team included not only the police, but also agents from the Imperial Security Bureau and the Investigation Department. They gathered together for the purpose of obtaining the assassin's statement and getting the truth from it.

Oswald nodded. These days, he has been interrogated every day, Spaniards, Ming people, and they always want to get answers from him.

"It's not easy."

1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes...

For the Ming Empire, the most important thing is not the confrontation at sea, but the need to find out the truth as soon as possible, that is, to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the "assassination incident", because only when the investigation is clear can we ensure one thing— The imperial division is famous.

Nodding, Ma Rulong asked.

"Okay... Now your answer proves my conjecture."

Ma Rulong looked at Oswald with a look full of pity, as if mocking his childishness and innocence.

"But Mr. Oswald, if it's an uprising, don't you have any reputation? For example, why did you carry out the assassination, just because of your hatred for Wang Youling? This hatred must have started."

"Oswald, I hear you refuse to answer any questions?"

Certainly not dead, Oswald said after getting an answer from a lawyer.

In fact, Meng Qingen didn't need to take the initiative at all. He could wait for Stephen Luce to bring it up. However, there is no priority in this matter, and there is no such thing as whoever proposes will lose first.

"It was the uprising of 160 million Chileans against the invaders!"

Time passed very slowly in the interrogation room, but it was also very fast. After about half an hour, Ma Rulong spoke.

"Um,"

Facing this question, Oswal opened his mouth and said
"They are working hard for the liberation of Chile."

"Of course you don't have to speak or answer, but Mr. Oswald, we only need to compare your past to find them. Since you can rob the train of the mining company to transport wages, then you must There is an insider situation, who gave you the information? You must have something in common—he should be from Chile, and he is deeply trusted by the company’s senior management, um, yes, that’s right. That’s right!”

Ma Rulong was silent, and Jing Zaigui did not speak. As the interrogator, he knew that they were all fighting now, silently.

"Then can I regard your assassination as some kind of action...for example, an uprising."

Therefore, the first thing Meng Qingen did when he came here was to reach some consensus with Stephen Luce, the admiral of the beautiful country, on how to avoid accidental fire during the confrontation between the navy.

All right!

Ma Rulong looked at him seriously.

In fact, the Spaniards were present at every interrogation.

But diplomatic mediation will certainly not start now, because there is no suitable intermediary.

Oswald looked at the interrogator in front of him in horror. He didn't know how the other party could guess so accurately.

Ma Rulong laughed, he looked at Oswald and continued.

"Mr. Oswald, remember what I said before? You don't have to answer any questions. After all, you have admitted that you assassinated Mr. Wang Youling."

Therefore, for this reason, the empire sent the best detectives and interrogators. The joint investigation team they formed came with the fleet. Although the preliminary investigation has already started, what is the purpose of the investigation team?
Of course, it is also for evidence. What kind of evidence do they need?

Ma Rulong nodded, and then said.

"That's right!"

"Your lawyer is here, you can consult him, just as a result of being suspected of assisting intentional murder."

"Mr. Oswald, do you smoke?"

"Have you ever thought about your partners, what are they doing now? They should be enjoying their lives now. And the actions you take together will become their capital to show off, but what about you? Oswald Mr. De, do you think you will survive?"

As soon as the litigator saw Ma Rulong and Jing Zaigui coming, he immediately reminded Oswald.

"He was the first governor of the occupying forces and killed a lot of Chileans."

"I said that I killed people to avenge the dead Chileans. I planned and implemented everything. It has nothing to do with anyone or any organization."

What is this guy talking about?
Jing Zaigui was a little dazed.

He even suspected that the other party had drilled into his mind and saw what he was thinking—Basso Alto and the others exposed——

"Yes, that's right, it's an uprising!"

"Yes, you must think so. I admire your arrogance from the bottom of my heart, but Oswald, when you sacrificed your life, what were your so-called friends doing?"

After giving him one and lighting it for him, Ma Rulong didn't speak, but just looked at Oswald, and Oswald thanked him after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Well, there have been rumors of this."

It is necessary to go back a little bit to prove that the Peruvian government is involved... If there is no evidence, they will use various methods to create evidence. After all, for Daming, Peru has been convicted from the very beginning.

And the confession now obtained from Oswald is only to prove this fact.

"Do you still need to prove it?"

When Ma Rulong looked at Jing Zaigui, his eyes seemed to doubt his IQ.

"Haven't you already prepared the evidence? What is needed now is just to enrich it."
