Opening game, American Tycoon

Strong sunlight shone into the room through the glass windows, and the strong yellow light pierced the darkness of the room. There were some dust floating in the light. Those dust that are usually invisible are the most real reaction in the world.

Lying on the bed, Lawrence watched for a long time as the light moved slowly, almost imperceptibly, but at the same time inexorably across the room until it finally reached Home's legs, watching his legs, watching his body, Laurence's gaze The book is full of love, this is his lover, his lover, everything about him... I'm going to take the language out immediately.

His eyes flicked over his body, then his hand, and then he couldn't restrain himself and kissed it.

……

When everything was over, looking at Dahome who was covered in sweat, Lawrence's eyes were full of love, and he stood up from the wide bed in a hurry. He was powerlessly enjoying this peaceful life, and he needed Work - In the past few years, he and the intelligence agency he organized have successfully penetrated into the Ming Empire.

"Just a little bit..."

Smiling slightly, Lawrence's tone was full of helplessness, time was passing.

But his heart seemed a little heavy.

Half an hour later, Lawrence walked into the office with only one window on the third floor of the British Embassy and locked the door.He opened the letter he had just received, preparing to get some information from the letter.

Secrecy is the first element of intelligence work. Locking a door and collecting the required information from the collected intelligence is a reliable method he is sure of.

At this time, Lawrence, as usual, was wearing ordinary clothes. If he was in London, he might wear a well-made officer's uniform with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, but here, he was always wearing civilian clothes.His choice of this triple career as soldier, diplomat and spy was driven by two motives: a definite patriotism, and a vague desire to...  

For what?

Maybe it's the excitement of this job!

A few hours later, in an open-air cafe on Foreign Office Avenue, Lawrence looked at Perkins in front of him, his eyes were red, obviously not sleeping well.

"Want to smoke?"

Perkins asked,
"No!"

Shaking his head, Lawrence refused.

"I want to know your opinion!"

"Is it "Dreadnought"?"

Lawrence knew why he didn't sleep well, and now all the naval attachés and intelligence personnel in Zhongdu couldn't sleep well, because the "dreadnought" produced by the Ming Empire shocked all countries overnight, and even eliminated other countries. warship.

"Why do you say we didn't have any news before this?"

Perkins asked.

"Because the Ming Empire has tried every means to conceal him from the beginning. We didn't even know that he was a battleship until he launched into the water."

Lawrence said directly.

"In the Ming Empire, all battleships are named after "a certain province", all of them!"

Taking a sip of coffee, he continued.

"But "Dreadnought"? What is this? It is neither the name of a province nor a city. It... seems to be an auxiliary warship that is not worth mentioning. Although, the information we received before this— —The Ming Empire is designing and building a new type of warship. But... who knew that "Fearless" was actually a combat ship?"

"Damn we fell for them."

Perkins said bluntly.

"Now it looks like we're a bunch of idiots, don't we, all of us are a bunch of idiots."

Of course, he didn't know that the name was given by Emperor Zhu himself. After all, in another world, fearlessness is an era.

"That's about it."

Lawrence, I said depressedly.

"But they also have to teach us a lesson about what to do if we want to keep it a secret."

"Yes, we are a group of laymen in terms of intelligence."

While agreeing, Perkins asked again.

"Lawrence, do you have any other information? Maybe we should share it."

"intelligence?"

Lawrence shook his head and said.

"My target has no other information, otherwise London wouldn't be so annoyed."

How could London not be annoyed?

It takes at least three years to build a warship, but in the past three years, they have no information about that warship, and in the past three years, how many warships has the British Empire built?How much money was spent, and how many warships were built that were outdated as soon as they entered service, or even before they were launched?
In the final analysis, it was because their intelligence work was not done well and they did not get this information.

"The same is true in Washington. We have also spent a lot of money in the past few years."

Perkins shook his head helplessly, and then said.

"So many warships have now turned into a pile of useless scrap iron. I swear in the name of God that in future naval battles—whoever owns the dreadnought will win the naval battle."

The reason why Perkins is so sure is that he is a naval officer and he is well aware of the changes at sea brought about by the unseen.

"Full heavy artillery battleship, fourteen-inch cannon, eight-inch thick armor, although it is a little thin, but its speed has reached an astonishing - 26 knots, God, can you imagine that there is such a powerful ship in the world?" battleship?"

In addition to emotion, he said again.

"So, the sea in the future belongs to him, which no one can deny."

Lawrence, an army officer, was unaware of the revolutionary changes unopinionated brought to the sea.But he is very clear about what the 14-inch cannon means?
It means powerful power, which means that he is likely to be the king of the sea in the future.

"Lawrence, my friend, we must expedite this work!"

Staring at Lawrence, Perkins said.

"We can't continue to make mistakes like we are now, otherwise, even if I can't forgive myself, God can testify that each of us is very clear that the Ming Empire is preparing for a war with us, and our !"

Perkins fixed his eyes on Lawrence and said.

"A war with every one of us Anglo-Saxons! If we lose this war, there is a good chance that all of us will die without a burial, just like the barbarians who invaded Rome in history , to destroy everything we have, they will destroy our civilization and turn us all into slaves..."

When mentioning this future, Perkins' eyes were full of fear... Fear of the future!Of course, he was even more afraid that in his misfortune, everything he said was right.

What is the most frightening thing?
That is, they can clearly see the dangerous future, but they are powerless to stop it from happening!

According to Perkins, if we can't prevent this, then that terrible future must happen.

The only question is - can they stop that from happening?
In this regard, Perkins simply does not have much confidence.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so afraid.

"Become a slave?"

Lawrence thought for a moment, then said.

"Let's do the work right now!"
