Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 103 The plan failed (1w, please subscribe!)
Mr. Lu had so much fun that he almost broke his back from exhaustion that night. Facts have proved that you should not try Yangma easily, otherwise you will know what it means to bend your waist for a woman!

Needless to say, there are still many things worthy of praise in China in its old age. Take the Yangma for example. You can see it everywhere in the magic city. Not all of them are poor. There are also young ladies from wealthy Western families who bring them with them. The servant has traveled around the world.

Of course, most of them came from the Far East to make a living, and their status was not much higher than that of the technical women in Yanliu Lane.

These people are mainly there to satisfy the tycoons with special quirks. Those who have no money cannot afford it, and those who have money may not like it.

Back to the subject, Zhu Chuanren relied on a group of ocean horses to flatter Mr. Lu so much that even the famous King of the Demon City, He Fenglin, was defeated.

This is not important. What is important is that Huang Mapi was carried out alive after being beaten for three days.

Of course, Lu Lanchun was left by Mr. Lu. After playing with him for several months, I don’t know, but he was a poor person anyway.

But except for Jute Pi, no one pitied her. Women in this era really had no status at all.

Huang Mapi was sent to St. Mary's Hospital. His old face was completely disgraced. God knows what kind of inhuman treatment he suffered in the past three days. He was lying on the hospital bed, his whole body was wrapped tightly, and his whole body was covered with blood. The mummy has only one pair of eyes left exposed.

Zhu Chuanren came to see him, what a good guy, he almost laughed out loud.

"Third Young Master~" Huang Mapi cried pitifully.

"Now do you know what beauty is like a disaster? Old Huang, you have this fate in your life. Please be more open-minded. It won't be a shame to be dealt with by the four young masters!"

Jute Pi's mouth was also covered with a bandage, leaving a small gap for drinking water and eating. He made a loud sound when he spoke.

"Third Young Master, you have to stand up for me!"

Zhu Chuanren's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he whispered:
"Old Huang, just put up with this for now. Even if you want to take revenge, you have to wait until I lose power. How can you fight with others now? There are people with guns in their hands. Just relying on your stragglers is not enough for them. The ones who charge!"

In fact, Huang Mapi was just talking freely, and he didn't really want to get into trouble with Mr. Lu. He had a clear mind in his mind, and he knew who he could mess with and who he couldn't touch.

"I just feel aggrieved!"

After hearing Huang Mapi's words, Zhu Chuanren sighed:
"I can understand that the woman I like is being played with, and I have suffered physical pain, and my face has been trampled under my feet. Anyone else would feel aggrieved."

After a pause, his voice changed:
"But think about it from another angle, who did you become like this because of? Is that person against you? Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged women are everywhere. As long as you are alive and have money, Quan, what kind of woman can’t be found?”

Huang Mapi, who originally felt pity for Lu Lanchun, suddenly became smart when he heard this.

The third young master is right. Is this girl not compatible with me?
Thinking about it this way, I instantly felt that Lu Lanchun wasn't that important anymore. A woman who was played to pieces, just let it be.

So he took a deep breath and nodded slowly:
"Third Young Master, don't worry, I know what to do."

"That's right, Lao Huang, relax, women will have it, and they will get their face back."

Huang Mapi nodded heavily, seemingly listening.

Being able to listen to the words proves that this person can still be used, otherwise Zhu Chuanren would not mind trampling him to death and rolling as far as he can as a bug. A person who doesn't know how to bow his head is not worthy of being used by him.

In any case, this famous event in history was easily resolved by Zhu Chuanren, but he didn't know how future generations would comment on this matter.

8. Did Yangma take advantage of the fourth son of the Republic of China?

Master Zhu San outsmarts Mr. Lu?
Sometimes when I think about it, Zhu Chuanren finds it quite interesting.

Ahem~ Okay, let’s turn the realization back to Luo Jiadong.

This guy tried his best to sow discord and take revenge.

He actually hid a large number of heavy firepower weapons in the fruit box, including 10 Maxim machine guns alone.

The key is where did this machine gun come from?There is so much ammunition, including tens of thousands of rounds of machine gun ammunition alone, as well as various rifles and pistols. This batch of arms is enough to use up Luo Jiadong's entire net worth.

Zhu Chuanren was immediately confused after hearing Lao Tan's report. If Luo Jiadong had the ability to obtain so many arms, wouldn't he just form an army to attack Zhu Mansion?

"Third Young Master, this batch of arms does not have gun serial numbers, and the source cannot be traced at all~"

"No, the arms in the entire magic city's black market are basically under our control. Where did he get it? There must be channels we can't think of."

"Where could that be?"

"Have all those arms dealers been investigated?"

"Everything has been checked. No one dares to disturb Tai Sui. I have warned them."

"Since you're not from this circle, it's possible that you're a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules, or maybe you're just..."

He thought of a possibility. So many weapons were not like the handiwork of arms dealers. There was only one place where they could be found.
Zhu Chuanren and Lao Tan said in unison:

"army!"

Zhu Chuanren's face turned ugly instantly. Not even his wife's cheating would make his face look so ugly.

If his guess is correct, it means that the matter is beyond his control. For a person who is very suspicious and has an increasing desire for control, this matter is simply unforgivable.

"Check! We must find out which army this batch of looting came from."

Lao Tan tried to ask:
"Third Young Master, where should we investigate?"

"Check He Fenglin's troops first!"

If there is one area in Magic City that is completely beyond Zhu Chuanren's control, it's only He Fenglin's troops!

"People, don't be too greedy. If you reach out for everything, you will be chopped off!"

Zhu Chuanren muttered alone. He had a hunch that this batch of arms came from He Fenglin's army.

I don’t know whether it was He Fenglin who took the lead or whether his subordinates were corrupt and bribed.

"Brother, it's time to ship. What are your plans here? I can't keep delaying!"

He Taisheng came to Zhu Mansion and said.

"I know, just give me another day, things have changed a lot!" Zhu Chuanren said solemnly.

"I heard that arms were found?"

"Yes, you also know that the arms on the black market in Magic City are basically circulating under my nose, and this batch..."

He Taisheng squinted his eyes and said angrily:

"It seems like this little guy I just met is very energetic."

"You asked him out and defrauded him!"

"To what extent?"

"It's up to you~"

"Okay, hey, what do you think these people think? They can't live a good life without seeking death!"

"Who says it's not the case? They're all crazy people!"

In the building outside the building, He Taisheng deliberately arranged the meeting place with Luo Jiadong here, for no other reason than to disgust him!
Sure enough, Luo Jiadong's expression when he walked into the private room was as if he had stepped on dog poop when he went out.

But facing He Taisheng, Luo Jiadong did not dare to show his face:

"Mr. He, long time no see."

"Haha, it won't take long. Sit down, brother Luo. I just ordered a few dishes to see if they suit your taste."

"Mr. He is interested, I am not picky about food."

Luo Jiadong sat down reluctantly. He now felt like he had hooked up with his wife, but her husband came back and warmly invited him to eat. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Try it, this dish is called eating the inside out, this one is called ungratefulness, this one is called blowing your dog's head off, this one is called sticking your dog's eye in, this one is called kicking your dog's crotch!"

Luo Jiadong's face turned pale every time He Taisheng read out a dish. At the end, he could no longer laugh:

"Mr. He, does he have any misunderstanding about me?"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding. My relationship with you is so good, how can there be any misunderstanding?"

Damn it, Luo Jiadong's heart skipped a beat, he was offending someone, he was speaking in a weird way.

"Well, Mr. He, if I offend you in any way, just say it."

"Hey~ why do you say that? Ronaldinho, is our relationship so fragile?" He Taisheng covered his face and said with tears.

Luo Jiadong was confused, where to follow him? He was also emotionally fragile, and I kept repeating it!

"Well, Mr. He, don't scare me. We have something to talk about."

He Taisheng looked like a neurotic, and his face changed again:
"I've been telling you, Ronaldinho, are you asking for too much?"

Luo Jiadong didn't know what to do at all. How could he bear this? He stood up and bowed 90 degrees:
"Mr. He, please give me another chance and stop playing with me!"

Seeing that the fire was almost done, He Taisheng said:

"Xiao Luo, since you said so, you might as well admit it. What are the goods that you borrowed from my ship this time?"

Luo Jiadong's heart almost jumped into his throat:
"Mr. He, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Oh? Then you are just pretending to be confused because you understand!" Luo Jiadong slammed his wine glass on the table.

The clanging sound almost scared Luo Jiadong's heart out.

While he was feeling guilty, he was holding on to his strength:

"Mr. He, I don't dare to deceive you. It's just some daily necessities. The quantity may be a bit too much. If it's inconvenient for Mr. He, I can take back some of it!"

Taisheng He snorted coldly:
"You're a tough talker. I've already talked about this. Do you think I don't know anything?"

Luo Jiadong sat down on the chair, it was over, it was all over.

As soon as He Taisheng saw him like this, he knew that his heart was broken and he couldn't stand the deception at all.

So he quickly retracted his tone:
"Contraband, it will definitely make money. I understand, brother, but you can't help but say hello to me. This is going too far."

When Luo Jiadong saw that things were still slow, he quickly said:

"Yes, yes, Mr. He is right. I went too far. I really shouldn't have. Please give me a chance to make amends, Mr. He."

"Then how are you going to make up for it!" He Taisheng asked with greed on his face.

"Well, how about I get you another good dog? My friend's breeding dog recently had another litter of puppies."

"For dogs, one or two good ones are enough. Too many are useless, just the icing on the cake."

Luo Jiadong cursed greed in his heart. Didn't He Taisheng's words mean that he didn't have enough chips?
There was a twitch in his heart and he said:
"Well, I don't have much money on hand. Do you think I can offer you ten more large yellow croakers?"

He Taisheng did not say yes or no, but said meaningfully:

"I heard you have a sister?"

Luo Jiadong stood up suddenly, his face smelled worse than dog shit:
"What does Mr. He mean by this?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's just a casual chat. Do you have a sister?"

"I~ do have a cousin!"

"Oh, cousin, I thought she was my biological sister." He Taisheng shook his head slightly, obviously not taking this relationship into consideration.

"Mr. He, my sister and I have a very good relationship!" Luo Jiadong reminded.

"I know, that's why I asked, but since it's a cousin, it doesn't matter. If you give up a cousin, you can make a lot of money, and you can make me a friend. You kill two birds with one stone. Ronaldinho, you are smart People know how to make choices!”

He Taisheng vividly performed the image of a greedy and lustful old gangster.

"Mr. He, is there no other way?" The whites of Luo Jiadong's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, and veins popped out on the backs of his hands.

"What should I do? It doesn't seem to be the case. I am a very dedicated person, which can also be called stubborn. I will never change my decision."

Every word He Taisheng said was teasing the other person's nerves.

"What if I don't agree?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not discussing with you, Ronaldinho, you misunderstood."

He Taisheng said something falsely, and then the conversation suddenly changed:
"But my waist has been uncomfortable recently and I need a girl to give me a hand. As you know, the waist is the foundation of a man. If the waist is broken, you can't do anything. It doesn't matter if it delays the work. If it delays the shipping date, your freight will be If you don’t go out, you will miss out on making a lot of money.”

He Taisheng's words are one link inside another, with each word and punctuation mark hiding a link, which is even more like a link than DLS.

Luo Jiadong's fists tightened and loosened, then tightened and loosened, and then loosened and tightened again, which showed how entangled he was in his heart.

"In this life, the most important thing is to learn to seize the opportunity, because the opportunity is fleeting, and there is no regret medicine if you miss it."

Luo Jiadong gritted his teeth and looked at He Taisheng with eyes almost burning.

But I really want to turn against him, flip the table and leave, damn this old bastard.

However, we can only think about this kind of thing, and it is definitely not possible to let him do it. After all, he still has a big plan in his heart, and a little impatience will mess up the big plan.

He took a deep breath:

"My sister has been feeling unwell lately, but she can still do it by beating her waist."

He Taisheng laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha, okay, that's right, Ronaldinho, I knew you were a smart person from the first moment I saw you!"

God knows how angry Luo Jiadong was when he heard this, but unfortunately he could only dare to be angry but dare not speak.

"Thank you Mr. He for the compliment~"

The typical person who is being sold has to count the money for someone else. Sadly, others are being sold without knowing it, but he is watching helplessly as he is being sold.

In the study room of Zhu Mansion, there was a machine gun on the ground. It was still shiny with oil. It was the luster of gun oil, and it smelled faintly of the nose.

But Zhu Chuanren didn't care. He admired this violent weapon and thought about it while looking at it. If these guns were equipped around Zhu's mansion, even if a company came to attack, he would be sure to wipe out the opponent.

In the history of weapons development, the Maxim machine gun is truly the first generation of automatic weapons. Its emergence once changed the rules of the battlefield and thus the mode of war.

Perhaps even Mr. Maxim, the inventor of the machine gun, did not expect that this thing he invented could change the world so much.

However, before the Maxim machine gun, there was actually a continuous shooting weapon, namely the Gatling gun.

Maybe later generations are more familiar with Gatling than Maxim, but few people know that Gatling was actually invented before Maxim, and 20 years earlier.

The reason why later generations are more familiar with Gatlin is entirely because of various Hollywood blockbusters.

But the Gatlin at this time was different from the Gatlin in later generations.

The Gatling gun is similar to combining multiple rifles into a multi-barreled structure. The loading and firing process of each rifle is manually controlled through a mechanical mechanism.

Because multiple barrels fire in turns, a single person can complete the shooting of multiple rifles in turn, forming a higher firepower density, which is to achieve an effect similar to a rapid-fire weapon.

However, the inherent shortcomings of the Gatling structure prevent it from becoming an excellent infantry weapon.

First of all, the multi-tube structure causes a huge volume and weight, which is close to that of an artillery piece.

At the same time, because humans control the mechanical structure to attack and fire the bombs, manual control is unstable, and the bomb supply mechanism cannot continuously supply bombs, so the failure rate is very high.

Therefore, the Gatling structure is at best similar to multiple rifles, and it is not a true rapid-fire weapon.

The groundbreaking design of the Maxim machine gun uses the recoil of weapon firing to complete the work that was previously done manually, achieving the continuous operations of loading, locking, firing, and ejecting the shell.

And it continued this continuous cycle, thus completing the automatic firing of gunpowder weapons for the first time.

This is the ancestor of all automatic weapons.

Maxim genius made use of the recoil when the bullet was fired, using a toggle structure to unlock the barrel during the recoil process, and complete the shell ejection action, compressing the recoil spring during the retreat process.

Then it is pushed forward under the action of the spring to complete the loading and firing of the next bullet.

The power of the entire process comes from the recoil generated by the firing of the bullet. The soldier only needs to press the trigger, and the machine will do the rest. As long as the bullet does not stop, the weapon can keep firing.

Although the automatic principles of many subsequent automatic weapons are not exactly the same, in terms of using the power of ammunition launch, they are basically an extension or improvement of the Maxim automatic mode.

From this perspective, the Maxim machine gun can be regarded as the originator of all automatic weapons.

In fact, the concept of automatic weapons pioneered by Maxim is not just a machine that automates the design process, but also includes two innovations.

One is a bullet belt.

Before the Maxim machine gun, there was no need for a large amount of continuous ammunition supply. The most guns used were magazine-type ammunition supply, which means a few bullets at a time.

But for weapons like machine guns that require continuous shooting, Maxim invented the ammunition belt.Initially canvas was used.Later, the improved version was the metal bullet chain. As the basis for continuous ammunition supply, this became a very important accessory for rapid-fire weapons.

The second genius invention is the water-cooling structure.

As the first rapid-fire weapon, the heat dissipation of the barrel under continuous shooting is a big problem.

So you can often see in movies and TV shows that after firing a few bullets, soldiers pour urine on the barrel of the gun to cool it down.

The method adopted by Maxim is water cooling. A sleeve is placed on the barrel, and water is added in the middle to continuously cool down. In order to prevent the water from heating up the steam pressure, a pressure relief pipe is also designed, and it is designed so that it will not leak at different elevation angles. .

These two genius designs, coupled with the excellent automatic mechanism, make the Mark light machine gun a true rapid-fire weapon that can fire continuously.

Before the appearance of the Maxim machine gun, there was an upper limit to the firepower density of individual soldiers. That is, as long as the attacker had enough troops, it could actually partially suppress the defender and form a breakthrough. In other words, the so-called human sea tactic was really achievable. .

This is also before the large-scale application of machine guns. Army tactics advocated offense, because offense could more easily create a local strength advantage, while defense required the maintenance of an excessively long front.

However, the emergence of rapid-fire weapons represented by machine guns allows the defender to ignore the opponent's numerical advantage. As long as there are no effective defense methods, the superposition of numbers can no longer form an advantage. This greatly enhances defense.

The first example is that in the famous Matabele War, dozens of British troops, relying only on 4 Maxim machine guns, resisted the attack of 5000 people, causing 3000 casualties on the other side.

In the war between Lao Maozi and Xiao Benzi, Xiao Benzi's traditional intensive charge failed to cause heavy casualties in the face of Lao Maozi's Maxim machine guns during the battle. After the siege, he relied on heavy artillery to capture Lao Maozi's position. .

These all indicate that the Maxim machine gun greatly increases the defender's advantages.

But it was the subsequent first world station that really made Maxim's name written into the history of war.

In the early days of the First Station, the military thinking of all countries advocated offense. However, the emergence of rapid-fire weapons represented by Maxim machine guns made the attacker's local strength advantage meaningless.

Eventually, the First World War turned into trench warfare.

It was also the power of the Maxim machine gun that gave rise to the birth of a new weapon that combines protection, mobility, and firepower - the tank.

This gave rise to the armored maneuver combat mode.

It can be said that the Maxim machine gun truly changed the mode of war and the history of war.

Of course, nothing can be perfect, and the same goes for the Maxim machine gun, which still has some shortcomings.

As a first-generation automatic weapon, its automatic mode is slightly complex, so the overall weight is heavy.

Later Hatsakiss machine guns and Browning machine guns were improved to simplify their structures and improve their reliability. These structures have continued to this day.

The iconic water-cooling mode of the Maxim machine gun was gradually phased out. The machine gun was no longer the core of firepower on the battlefield, so the need for long-term continuous shooting was reduced. Air cooling and replaceable barrels gradually replaced the bulky water-cooling mode.

But these are inevitable in the evolution of war weapons, and the Maxim machine gun can be said to have created history in this era and is one of the most important iconic weapons in the history of human weapons.

The advent of the Maxim machine gun eclipsed many traditional firearms.

In the early days of the Maxim machine gun, due to the limitations of the technological level at that time, a short-barreled recoil type was used.

Although it is very backward compared with the technology of later generations, this design concept can be said to be a qualitative leap in improving the rate of fire of weapons.

The Maxim machine gun uses a canvas bullet chain, which greatly improves the shooting continuity of the Maxim machine gun and ensures that the entire shooting process can be completed quickly with two shooters.

In addition, in order to overcome the problem of barrel heating, the Maxim machine gun adopts a cold water cooling method, which is to design a quite huge sleeve on the barrel, so that it can be cooled during the design process to ensure that 600 rounds per minutes of high rate of fire.

However, because this weapon is too bulky, it has problems with flexibility and maneuverability, and it needs to rely on positioning to function effectively.

However, this does not prevent the Maxim machine gun from showing its prowess on the battlefield and giving full play to its actual combat value.

During the Matabele War, the Maxim machine gun shocked the world for the first time.

Under the firepower of four Maxim machine guns, 50 British soldiers successfully repelled the Zulu attack with hundreds of times their strength.

A few years later, at the Battle of Omdurman, 20 Maxim machine guns once again showed their prowess, annihilating more than 2 Sudanese cavalry.

The version that people in later generations are more familiar with is the Maxim machine gun from the Battle of the Somme, which killed [-] British and French troops in one day.

At that time, the German army had been equipped with Maxim Qinqin MG08 heavy machine guns in large quantities, with a total of 12500.

In that battle, the German army mobilized 400 Maxim MG08s to attack the British and French forces on a 40-kilometer front. The Maxim's tilted rifle bullets caused the entire battlefield to bleed.

This tilted scene is not the flat shooting that most people know, but a large number of Maxim machine guns shooting at a 45-degree angle to the sky.

Once all the firepower is concentrated together, the shooting scene from a distance is no less than an artillery position.

As a shooter, the soldier does not need to expose the trench at all, he only needs to fire continuously.

Thousands of bullets flew into the sky, completed a standard parabolic motion, and then poured into the designated shooting area.

The bullets pouring down from the sky like a storm are like the overwhelming arrows on ancient battlefields, hitting the ground leaving all enemy soldiers with nowhere to hide.

There are ten such meat grinder machine guns in Luo Jiadong's cargo, which is simply sensational.

You must know that He Fenglin's troops may not have ten Maxims in a battalion.

However, Zhu Chuanren also knew that the batch of Maxims in front of him could not be imported from abroad, but were imitation Maxims from the Jinling Military Factory.

With their technical capabilities and production capacity, they can't produce more than a few pills in a month.

And Luo Jiadong got ten troops at once, which is enough to show how deep the corruption in the warlord army is.

Zhu Chuanren thought he was greedy and ruthless enough, but he didn't expect that the most ruthless ones were the warlords, who would sell anything just to make money!

In addition to the ten Maxims, there are also a full 300 Mauser 98s, which are 7.9mm Type 1898. The gun is well-made and well-designed. The internal magazine of the five bullets has been modified to a staggered double-stack design, which reduces its depth so that it is flush with the butt of the rifle.

Rather than protruding from the bottom like previous designs, this improves the balance of the rifle and protects the magazine, in addition to the sleek aesthetic appeal.

However, this gun is too long, making it inconvenient to carry and use in limited space conditions.

The soldiers in the trenches suffered enough from this shortcoming during one station.

Moreover, the manufacturing standards of this gun are very high, and the production process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it unsuitable for mass production. However, this is not a problem for warlords who have no ability to innovate. Counterfeit Mauser 98s can still be used.

In addition to guns, there are also several boxes of hand grenades and grenades. The grenades are made in China and the grenades are made in Germany and have just been designated as M24.

Whether it is a grenade or a hand grenade, it is an important anti-personnel weapon in street fighting.

Because there are a large number of building bunkers in street fighting, ordinary bullets do not have the ability to explode, but hand grenades and hand grenades are different. If they are large in number, they can be used as artillery shells.

Zhu Chuanren asked people to pass by. In this batch of arms, the total number of grenades and grenades could be 200.

These many weapons combined are enough to fight a small-scale street battle.

Zhu Chuanren took a breath of cold air. If so many arms came from He Fenglin's troops, then the King of Demon City would be a bit unworthy of his name. He might as well just be a piece of junk inside.

Thinking of this, he understood a little bit why the warlords were obviously powerful, but in the end they were completely defeated.

Including the most powerful Feng faction in the future, it is said that, no, they are indeed equipped with three armies of sea, land and air, and the weapons are very complete. What is the result?
Forget it, don't mention it.

Zhu Chuanren only felt lucky that once so many arms were discovered, no, if he were Luo Jiadong, he would definitely report it secretly to the Ministry of Industry Bureau or Public Affairs Bureau, or even a small book, and then check it out accurately.

At that time, He Taisheng and Zhu Chuanren will not be able to eat and walk around.

Even if they survive through various relationships, there will still be discord between the two!
You have to peel off your skin if you don't die!

Zhu Chuanren felt scared, but fortunately he discovered it early. If Luo Jiadong had successfully executed the plan, everything he had done in the Magic City would have been in vain.

MB!Zhu Chuanren cursed countless swear words in his heart. Fortunately, fortunately, there is still a chance to redeem everything.

"Third Young Master, what should we do next?"

"Let's arrange for someone to change the situation, replace all the weapons with fruits, and then let the person named Luo do whatever he wants."

"I know~" Lao Tan responded and asked someone to make arrangements.

Early the next morning, the passengers boarded the ship on time. Since the ship was delayed by two days compared with the previously scheduled sailing date, many people cursed and said that the passenger ship company had taken the money and did nothing.

This morning, the dock was bustling with people.

Boarding the ship, weighing anchor, and setting sail were all in order. Passengers with different moods stood on the side of the ship waving and looking at the shore.

As the passenger ship gradually picked up speed, the sea breeze blew on people's faces. Little by little, the land became smaller and smaller in sight, until it disappeared, and the sea was all in the circle.

Soon, the passengers who boarded the ship for the first time lost interest and returned to the inner warehouse to rest.

Less than half an hour after the passenger ship set sail, suddenly, several gunboats came rushing from the direction of land.

The bow of the gunboat broke through the sponge like a sharp blade, bringing up white spray.

Soon, several gunboats surrounded the passenger ship and used loudspeakers to shout to the ship.

The person who shouted was bilingual in Chinese and English, and also had a half-baked French sentence to ensure that the people on the boat could understand.

Sure enough, the passenger ship sounded its whistle and its speed slowed down little by little.

Several gunboats also slowed down and followed the passenger ship. At the same time, the gun holes were directed towards the passenger ship. The sudden situation caused the passengers on the ship to panic.

This trip was really full of twists and turns. Not only was it postponed, but it also encountered a military inspection. It was really unlucky.

After a while, a group of soldiers came off the gunboat. They were all fully armed. Judging by their uniforms, they must be British.

At the same time, on the pier, in the office of the general manager of the passenger ship company, Zhu Chuanren, He Taisheng, and Lao Tan were staring at the telegraph machine and refused to look away.

After a few beeps, Zhu Chuanren's eyes flashed:
"coming!"

Drop drop~ drop drop~
The telegraph operator began to copy the message. The message was not long and could be translated quickly.

Zhu Chuanren has been cultivating relevant talents for a long time. At the moment, they are only used for business, but at a critical moment.
The translated message contained only three words - "British people~"

Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes:
"He is indeed an Englishman, Clement!"

Apart from this former supporter of the Luo family, Zhu Chuanren could not think of anyone else who could do so much for a family that had lost power.

"What should I do?" He Taisheng asked.

"Langzao, just let them check it. There is no contraband on the ship anyway!"

"Yes, it just delayed our sailing plan. Should the British give me an explanation?"

"Complain and put pressure on the Ministry of Industry through the public board bureau. Our company is registered in the French Concession."

He Taisheng likes to do this:
"I'm going right now!"

Zhu Chuanren held the mentality that if you slap me, I will bite you, and asked He Taisheng to mess up the British.

Aren’t you going to help the Luo family?Then you have to be prepared to bear the wrath of my Young Master Zhu San.

Of course, he doesn't have the ability to do anything to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, but they can still do it.

About an hour later, the second telegram was sent:
"Safe, keep sailing!"

Zhu Chuanren glanced at the contents of the telegram and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take it!"

On the other side, Luo Jiadong was anxiously waiting for news from the sea, and sitting opposite him was Clement.

"Sir, you don't seem nervous at all." Luo Jiadong asked.

"Haha, Luo, you have to learn from your father on this. He won't get anxious easily."

"Of course I can't compare with my father. This is a game that I put all my efforts into. I can only succeed, not fail."

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. They are just fish on the chopping board. When our British Empire's gunboats come back, I will make them walk around without food!"

Luo Jiadong nodded slightly:

"Since Mr. Clement said so, I can rest assured and wait for the news~"

"Well, don't worry."

However, not long after, a white lieutenant colonel wearing a navy uniform walked into the cafe, looked at Clement with an unhappy face and said:
"You told me that there was a lot of credit on that ship, but in the end, there was nothing on the ship except damn poor people!"

"Impossible!" Clement denied subconsciously, and then glared at Luo Jiadong:
"How did you arrange it? Which link went wrong?"

Luo Jiadong's face was pale and extremely ugly. He could guess with his toes what the problem was:

"Ho! Tai! Health!"

"He Taisheng?" Clement frowned and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Clement, I let you down, but unfortunately, this plan failed!"

At this time, the naval lieutenant colonel said:

"I don't care what bullshit plans you have. I just want to know who will bear the cost of this trip? The Ministry of Industry and Commerce?"

Clement turned around and said:
"Don't worry, I promise you that your bonus will not be less."

The lieutenant colonel snorted coldly:
"That would be the best!"

After saying that, he waved his hands and left.

Clement sat down and adjusted his mood after taking a few breaths:

"Sit down too and tell me what the problem is!"

After being comforted by Clement, Luo Jiadong calmed down a little and explained the transaction between him and He Taisheng from beginning to end.

After he finished speaking, Clement said in a deep voice:

"So, he has actually colluded with Zhu Chuanren for a long time? And he blackmailed you for a dog, ten large yellow croakers, and your sister for this?"

Luo Jiadong smiled bitterly:
"My sister is fine, I'm looking for excuses to stall for time."

"That's not important. What's important is that you were led by the nose from the beginning to the end?"

"It seems so now!" Luo Jiadong's face turned pale:

"Maybe I shouldn't have thought about revenge from the beginning. There's nothing wrong with taking the money and going abroad to become a rich man."

Clement said with some disappointment:
"If you were not your father's son, I would definitely get up and leave now. However, for your father's sake, let me remind you that if you don't avenge your father's death, how can you have the face to go down there to see your father in the future? ?”

It has to be said that Clement, an Englishman, has studied Chinese culture well. If it weren't for his strange accent, he could be regarded as a Chinese.

Luo Jiadong's face returned to color:
"You're right, I shouldn't give up like this!"

"That's right. Facts have proved that your plan was wrong from the beginning. You should not start with the people around Zhu Chuanren. He can build such a huge force at this age not only by money, but also by his strong strength. charisma.”

Being able to see the advantages in his enemies shows that Clement has the style of a general.

"Yes, I admit that according to my investigation, everyone around Zhu Chuanren trusts him, almost monolithically."

"Haha, but there is no airtight wall in the world."

Luo Jiadong felt that these words sounded familiar, but it was not important. He asked:

"Sir, do you have any idea?"

"Have some ideas~"

"Please teach me sir!"

"What does Zhu Chuanren lack most now?"

Luo Jiadong shook his head:
"He seems to lack nothing~"

"Lack of nothing? Impossible, no one can be perfect."

Luo Jiadong continued to shake his head:
"Sorry, I really don't know."

Clement sighed in disappointment again:

"Well, let me tell you, what he lacks most now is political sensitivity!"

"What do you mean?" Luo Jiadong was a little confused!
"Any huge force needs the support of power. Without power, it is a castle in the air."

"But Zhu Chuanren has an irreconcilable relationship with Kant in the public affairs department. Isn't this power?"

"Wrong! Big mistake! That is Kant's right, not his own!"

Luo Jiadong could no longer think straight. What on earth was Clement going to say?
