America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 343 How about making a bet?

Chen Jianqiu's visit to Chile this time is obviously not a treat for the US government.

He only represents an individual.

And from a personal point of view, he has his own way of dealing with these things.

More than 200 Chinese soldiers in Roswell received instructions to prepare for departure.

And in the military factory, they also began to work overtime to make the Maxim machine gun and its bullets.

If these people appear in full armor at the port of San Francisco, I am afraid that California will issue a mobilization order on the same day.

Therefore, Chen Jianqiu decided to meet Rieman Tourer.

After actually controlling Juárez, Chen Jianqiu has never broken contact with the big star in front of Dias.

The Roswell to El Paso, or Juarez, railroad was already under construction.

"The road from Ensenard to Juárez is difficult, and it is not convenient to go directly to California." The captain replied without thinking.

"Yes, keep going this line." The captain said, looking at the distant port and the seabirds flying in the sky.

The boat gradually approached the pier.

"Hey, how about we make a bet, if it is repaired next year, I will transport saltpeter for you for free for a year! If you lose, how about you come to my ship as a crew member for a year?" Captain James said to Chen Jianqiu. smile.

In order for Dias to regain the throne of Mexican President, Liman Tour also frequently traveled between Mexico and the United States to obtain the support of the United States.

"Not really."

"Did you often take this route before?" Chen Jianqiu, who was standing at the bow, asked the captain beside him.

Under normal circumstances, if you are transporting goods out, you should start from the port of Veracruz on the east coast, and then cross the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.

It's kind of embarrassing to mention this.

In Juarez, the mansion of the former Priego family, Chen Jianqiu met Rieman Tour.

It seems that this guy is too lazy to pretend.

Seen from a distance, their masts are row upon row connecting the city.

"Then how about building a railway from Ensena to Juárez?" Chen Jianqiu continued with his idea.

"Go north from Ensenada, and then cross the border into California near Tijuana?" Chen Jianqiu seemed to be asking the captain, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"That's fine." The captain nodded, "But the railway company is not run by your family, so you can repair it wherever you say."

Therefore, others pass by Juárez from time to time.

At this time, the Mexican government had a navy, but that was only on paper.

His voice drifted over.

The ship was loaded with more than two hundred Chinese soldiers, ten Maxim heavy machine guns, countless bullets, and some gold.

"Then wait for me to go back to New Mexico City, and I'll find a way for you." Rieman Tur said to him in a hurry.

"Smuggled saltpeter, right?" Chen Jianqiu said in shock.

Captain Davis still didn't admit it directly, but just smiled.

At that time, the Panama Canal had not yet been built, and those who took the west coast route and did not go directly to California were probably related to saltpeter smuggling.

A title deed was pushed in front of Rieman Tourer.

The more Riementour said, the more sad he felt.

Rieman Tourer told the truth.

This young man, really young, loves fantasy.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just transporting some people and goods to Chile, where the mines need people." Chen Jianqiu said.

If it was someone else, the captain would either refuse to admit it, or turn his face directly.

The motherland is weak!
"Okay, I'll find a way for the ship myself." Chen Jianqiu took a step back, "But you have to quickly put the port in place for me."

"Hey, what do you think about leaving Juarez?" Chen Jianqiu turned his head and asked.

Within a month, the ship had sighted the coastline of South America.

What's more, he is talking about a personnel and horse transport ship, what is this person doing?

"We can provide ports, but there are really no ships."

Rieman Turl laughed, and Chen Jianqiu also laughed.

Marines in name only.

Rieman Tour was taken aback.

The captain turned away and walked towards the cabin.

"Okay." Chen Jianqiu agreed, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"This house is really nice." Rieman Tur was sitting on a chair in the living room, drinking coffee while looking up and down at this magnificent mansion.

"Give us the money, and we'll ship everything." The captain said meaningfully.

A month later, a steamship set sail from the port of Ensenada on the edge of the desert.

And it is not a good kind to be able to run around with more than 200 fully armed soldiers.

"Why don't you go to the port of Ensenada, where a friend of mine who is a shipping company in the United States has an unnamed ship that meets your requirements."

Chen Jianqiu took out binoculars from his bag and looked at the port in the distance.

"Mr. Chen, the ship is about to land, and the port of Iquique is ahead. You and your people can prepare to disembark."

If it's a business, if it's a private matter, then do it privately.

The captain still didn't answer.

"I feel like you like this house quite a lot, don't you?" Chen Jianqiu replied casually.

The captain was a bearded American named Ricky Davis.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the captain.

"You also want to buy some saltpeter this time, how about you help me transport some in the future?" Chen Jianqiu joked.

no boats.

From a distance, the port does not seem to have been affected by much fighting.

He sighed, and said with "regret": "I originally planned to return this house to them, but unfortunately, the Crocodile Gang's attack was too ruthless, and there is no one left."

What's more, this person gave a lot.

After the former owner was taken over, this mansion became a "palace" prepared by Chen Jianqiu for people like Rieman Tour in Juárez.

There are not too many ships docked in the port, and there are not too few ships. There are steam ships like them, and there are also wooden sailboats with high sails.

"What if it is repaired next year?"

Chen Jianqiu directly explained the purpose of meeting him this time.

He chatted happily with Chen Jianqiu along the way, but they were basically irrelevant things.

They sailed all the way south along the coast of Mexico.

"This originally belonged to the Priego family." Chen Jianqiu said bluntly, "A family with a long history."

"I also need a port where I can travel freely, on the west coast."

"Mr. Rieman Tour, I need a steam transport ship that can carry more than 500 crew members, horses, and cargo of corresponding weight. Of course, I will pay the corresponding fee."

But facing the more than 200 soldiers on board, he still had to weigh it.

Therefore, both of them tacitly agreed and did not say much.

west coast?never heard of that.

The leader of the Mexican "scientific school" has his own principles of doing things.

The original decoration and furniture were restored by him according to their original appearance.

The sound of the steam whistle and the noise on the pier all reached Chen Jianqiu's ears.

Among them, some familiar languages ​​lit up the hearts of Chen Jianqiu and other people on board.

There are three joys in life:
Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land; wedding night in the bridal chamber, when the gold list is titled.

Now, what made them feel more intimate were those yellow-skinned faces on the opposite pier.
