Alchemy Greater China

While Gao Tianyang was 'brainwashing' Fremantle and Miller, the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army on the three ships were not idle. They continued to clean up suspicious survivors at sea, and even sent some small boats to set off Go to the few battleships that have not yet sunk, and try to collect some movable weapons.

Although the Gogol and other battleships are not ranked in the British main battle sequence, the hot weapons and equipment on them are still enough to satisfy the Dragonscale Army. It would be too wasteful to just sink into the sea like this.

"Cut, don't waste it!"

Long Hao sat alone in the cabin, closed his eyes and sneered.

He was concentrating on manipulating the dragon boat, bringing several battleships (such as the Lu Dehuan) into his mouth that had sunk without a trace.

As I said before, Long Hao fought against six battleships by himself, and consumed a total of more than a thousand energy. If he didn't use the dragon boat's devouring function to supplement it, it would be a bit of a loss-making business to make money.

In fact, there was not much time to supplement Long Hao. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhenshi began to return, because there were still many people waiting for the result in the commercial port of San Francisco.

The composition of this group of people is very complicated, and they have various intentions in their stomachs, but now they only care about one result: has the Earl of North Sea been captured by Benson's fleet?Did he successfully escape the pursuit of Benson's fleet under the cover of a hundred freighters?It has been six or seven hours since the morning, and there is no news at all. I am really anxious and anxious!

As for the early morning 'annihilation announcement' from the San Francisco government, everyone ignored it...

It is said that many freighters came back after rushing out in the morning, and brought back the news that the entire Benson fleet was chasing the Zhenshi. This made many interested people wonder: Isn't it just a chase?It's been six or seven hours, do they still want to chase to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or say.Want to cross the Pacific Ocean and enter the Asian plate?

Chasing a small cruiser, even if it leads by a tiny bit at the start, but who are you?

You guys are big battleships, isn't six or seven hours enough for you to smooth out this gap?

Is that too useless?

As for the guessing idea of ​​the two sides exchanging fire and fighting fiercely for six or seven hours, it did not flash through the heads of these interested people at all: aha?One cruiser singled out six first-class battleships.Don't tell such inferior jokes that make people laugh out loud!

In addition to caring people, there are also insiders headed by the old Mayor Stevenson. They know that Master Long went to sea this time, not to escape, but to wipe out the Benson fleet, but after waiting for so long, a little The news has not come back, how can this not make their palms sweat and anxious?

Old Stevenson stood at the front of the pier, facing the sea breeze.Looking at the fog that hadn't dissipated on the sea, he said to Leland Stanford beside him: "I'm really worried, six battleships, Master Long actually said that they want to wipe them all out, really..."

He thought for a while, and swallowed the word 'I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth', after all, this is the end of the matter.There is no point in cursing Long Hao, I can only hope that this Chinese boy can continue to create miracles!

otherwise.A large group of people like myself will be buried with them.

Leland Stanford grinned and said: "Your worries are unnecessary, this kid has always done things in a way that makes ordinary people puzzled... Before the results come out, you may think he is crazy. But when the result comes out, you will find that you are a fool! Hahaha, Lord Mayor, if you trust him, you are absolutely right!"

"Well. I trust him!"

Before Old Stevenson could answer, a clear voice sounded behind the two of them. The mayor and councilor looked back, but what they saw was a half-face that was as beautiful as a flower.

That's right, the person who spoke was the head of the Caponella family: Mrs. Chini!She is still covered with tulle, only showing her cherry lips, but even so, it makes people feel very amazing!

What a stunner!

Master Long has good eyesight!

Pretty Widow must taste good!

The two bad political old men quickly ran over the topic in their minds, and then said solemnly and politely with the attitude of receiving voters: "Mrs. Chini, you are here too? Hehe, it seems that your merchant ship has returned to Hong Kong safely. Congratulations!" Congratulations!"

"Thank you mayor and councilor!"

The brimmed lady hat on Chini's head trembled slightly, and she nodded her head in thanks, while another person stood beside her with a peaceful smile on her face, who was old Stevenson's old acquaintance: tk Morgan.

"I can prove that Mrs. Chini has a lot of confidence in the Earl. Thanks to her assistance in today's stock and securities trading, I have raised the stock price of the Earl's board by a few cents more than expected!" Tk Morgan He winked and smiled proudly at the bewildered old Stevenson and Leland.

stock?

exchange?

Raise the stock price?

The mayor and councilors looked at each other: Today is the crucial day for the Earl of Beihai to fight for victory, so you guys still have leisure time to play stocks?Admire, your determination is stronger than ours!

Readers, do you still remember Long Hao's request to Chini?

Yes, it was Long Hao who provided the funds, and Qi Ni came forward as a representative of the sea merchants and bought a large number of stocks in the earl sector to show her support and confidence in the earl of Beihai.

The $20 that was thrown at the beginning was just the beginning.

Next, Chini, together with a mysterious organization called the 'Black Gang', distributed 'prayer coupons' to the hardest-hit Chinese people in Chinatown.

The prayer coupon is free. As long as you take the prayer coupon, go to the designated place and express your willingness to join the Black Clothes Gang, and pray for the Earl of Beihai, you will be able to exchange for a stock exchange voucher for the Earl’s plate: with this voucher, you can go to Qi Mrs. Ni exchanged ten shares of Earl's stocks, of random types.

6000 prayer coupons were issued in one day, and the disaster-affected Chinese who received the prayer coupons counted, and nearly [-] people went to the designated place to find out what was going on.

You know, even though the stock price of Earl's plate has fallen miserably, ten random stocks can add up to a few dollars!

This is free money, don't blame it!

(Don’t be surprised, this is all to capture the psychology of human beings who love to take advantage of small things. Don’t you know, the billionaires of future generations are also willing to go to the supermarket to queue for four hours for a voucher of 50 yuan.)

When they arrived at the designated place, these disaster-stricken Chinese found that they only needed to fill out a form and get a sign to join the Black Clothes Gang, and they didn’t need to pay any “joining fee” at all, and the enthusiastic Black Clothes Gang explainer also said: From now on, just show this brand, no one dares to charge them a 'protection fee' and other gang fees.If there is any trouble, it will be solved by the Black Clothes Gang.

Is there such a good thing?

The affected Chinese couldn’t believe their ears. You must know that most of them are coolies on the wharf and peddlers. They have to pay a little money to Hongmen every month for protection. With this amount of money, why don't they regard this black-clothed gang as a 'Wanjiasheng Buddha', coaxing and rushing to fill out this 'guidance application form'?

After filling out the form, the prayer coupons were exchanged for stock exchange certificates.And these new members of the Black Gang moved to the stock exchange established by Mrs. Kinny.

Well, the distance there is not far, you just need to go forward, turn right, turn left, turn two intersections, jump over a section of ruins, and then go diagonally... Well, the straight line is 300 meters away, but it takes an hour to walk.

Hey, you said I was lying about the number of words?

No, no, who made San Francisco bombarded these days.Many main roads were destroyed by rioters, and he was able to walk 300 meters in an hour.So lucky!

At the stock exchange point, the people stationed by Mrs. Chini were also very enthusiastic. They told these Chinese: You have two options for the exchange certificate in your hand!

First, exchange for ten random shares of Earl plate stocks, but they are not allowed to sell them for cash within one month.

second.In exchange for the acquisition fee of 50 cents, it is considered hard money.

The Chinese who came across the mountains and mountains quit immediately: 50 cents, too little?No matter how rubbish the stock price of the earl plate is, it is still worth a few dollars. Are you not exploiting in disguise?

Ever since.These Chinese who had tasted the sweetness of parading and ransacking their homes (although all the benefits were taken away by the Dragon Scale Party) protested on the spot, and some even wanted to overturn the table and take the opportunity to grab the dollar bills... Fortunately, a team of Dragon Scale Army took the opportunity in time. Come out, take away those who intend to make trouble, and then let the whole scene quiet down.

The dispatched personnel stammered and explained according to Chini's confession: The best way to support the Earl of Beihai is to buy the Earl's stocks and hold them for a long time. Those who only want to cash out the stocks are of course only worthy of 50 cents !

After hearing this sentence, the Chinese people were full of shame: Oh, so they supported it in this way, well, anyway, the stock is free, and we hold it for a month, and I believe it will fall after a month. And not just 50 cents!

Of course, there are also some people who are not optimistic about the Earl of Beihai, so they chose to exchange it for 50 cents...

After a while of busy work, all the stock exchange certificates were recovered by Chini's stationed personnel, and then Mrs. Chini Carbonera appeared and said to this group of 'new stockholders' of about 5000 people: "... I am very optimistic about the future trend of the Earl sector. On behalf of the Caponella family and the Portuguese maritime merchants, I solemnly announce that in the next month, no matter who buys the stocks of the Earl sector, they can get 50% from me. The compensation at the original price also counts as Chini Carbonella's support for the Earl of the North Sea!"

Compensation at the original price means buying stocks at half price. Not to mention, many of the 5000 new investors really moved their minds.

However, when Long Hao agreed to go to the Gogol for investigation on June 6, these new stockholders broke down in tears: Earl Beihai is going to be captured, so his stock is still worth a dime!If I knew it earlier, I might as well eat a bowl of pig intestines for 3 cents and enjoy myself!

As soon as the market opened on June 6, at that time, the news that the Zhenshi escaped from the interception of the Benson fleet and "fleeed" to the open sea had already been sent back to San Francisco. These new investors gathered inside and outside the San Francisco Exchange, staring at the big blackboard While waiting impatiently for the news of whether the Earl of Beihai 'escaped' or was 'arrested'.

The trading on this day was very flat. Because of the special blockade, the news of Long Hao going to sea to fight Benson had not yet spread to the eastern United States, so the earl plate still fell inertially at the beginning.

However, at noon, tk Morgan and Mrs. Chiney made their moves respectively, and began to sweep up the goods and drive up the stock price. Among them, tk Morgan was the biggest. After dropping 3000 million US dollars last time, this time, he made people A staggering $3600 million was dropped, and the earl plate was raised by 120% within an hour (because the price was too low, it was actually only raised by a few dollars)!

Although it came to the close, the price was suppressed by DuPont and other consortiums again.It only increased by more than one yuan in the whole day, but this move really attracted many Chinese to snap up stocks. Although the total amount is not much, it at least represents everyone's confidence in Long Hao!

It's been six or seven hours. If I was caught, I should have come back long ago.The Earl of Beihai must have escaped successfully!

The Chinese who raised their bets and bought Earl's stocks all thought so.

After listening to tk Morgan's brief narration, old Stevenson opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the young Stevenson, who didn't know the truth, interrupted in surprise: "Mr. Morgan, you are too bold, this is Hao, It’s a big gamble! With more than 7000 million US dollars, you are not afraid of losing? Even if Master Long escapes today. But as long as the Benson fleet is still there, the stock price will not go up!” Don't worry!

"Karfan, stocks are a thing of risk and profit!"

tk Morgan knew Stevenson very well, so he smiled and said, "I am in danger of going bankrupt. If the Earl is unfortunately captured... But I also have a chance to get rich overnight, as long as Benson's fleet is wiped out." .Then, my 7000 million will become 7 million! Fully ten times!!”

scare?

Carl Van Stevenson was stunned: Benson's fleet was wiped out, my God, is tk Morgan blindsided by gambling, daydreaming?Also 7 million, I shot twice and got 7 million.do you want?

Little Stevenson still has a certain understanding of the forces under Long Hao's command, but even he would never believe that Long Hao, who doesn't even have a battleship over 3000 tons, can annihilate Benson with a total tonnage of [-] tons fleet!

If so.Today is 'big, strange, miracle, day'!

The sun is getting west and dusk is coming, but the news that people are looking forward to has not come yet, but the crowd on the pier has not decreased in the slightest. Instead, many hawkers selling cheap dinners have come out to make a little money.

At 6:11, a shadow of a ship finally appeared on the sea level in the mist. Everyone held their breath, and there was silence on the pier, except for a few people who choked on cheap dinners and coughed hard.

Come, come!

Which ship is coming?Can anyone see clearly?

Soon, someone shouted: "Look at that flag, look quickly, the Golden Dragon Banner, it's the Golden Dragon Banner! That ship is... Zhenshi!"

"It's really the Zhenshi, the ship of the Earl of Beihai!"

"How did he come back? Didn't he escape?"

"It's over, it's over! Master Long was captured, otherwise why would he come back? There must be six battleships escorting him behind!"

"Then what should I do, I bought a $10 stock, Earl's stock!"

"What else can I do, it is destined to be waste paper, so throw it away early!"

"Oh, I didn't believe the government's announcement in the morning. They said that the Earl of Beihai went to sea to destroy Benson's fleet!"

"Idiot, believe what the government says, you deserve it! No one will believe that announcement except the Earl of Beihai!"

There was a lot of chirping on the pier, and old Stevenson was also a little dizzy: he sent out the announcement in accordance with Long Hao's request in the early morning, but he himself couldn't believe it, how could Long Hao annihilate the mighty Benson fleet...

Old Stevenson clutched his chest and gasped, "Earl, Earl, come back, I, are we going to die?"

"It's over?"

Leland Stanford had a happy expression on his face, waving his hands excitedly, as if celebrating victory: "What nonsense are you talking about, the boats are back, how can it be finished?"

"Doesn't coming back mean that you didn't escape?"

"Hey, mindset, I despise you, can't it be the Earl's triumphant return? You see, Lord Mayor, there are two small battleships behind the Zhenshi, but there is no large battleship of Benson's fleet... ..."

Sure enough, not only the old Stevenson raised his eyes, but also the rest of the people who thought Long Hao was escorted back. Their eyes widened, and they were shocked to find that there were really only those three small warships on the sea level!

What about the battleships of Benson's fleet?

Could it be that he was abducted by the Zhenshi and lost his way, and got stuck in a mysterious sea full of dense fog?

(At that time, there was no theory of the Bermuda Triangle, but there were already rumors of ships disappearing mysteriously in the vast ocean.)

The pier was temporarily in a state of silence, and when the semaphore from the Zhenshi came, the crowd on the pier was boiling, whether they were happy or disappointed, in short, everyone was boiling uncontrollably!

The semaphore said: All six battleships were buried under the sea, and the Zhenshi returned home victoriously. The blockade crisis in San Francisco has come to an end!

"ended?"

"All six battleships gone? Isn't that true?"

"Whatever, when did the Earl of Beihai lie? Let me just say that the government is reliable. Didn't the whole city announce that the Earl of Beihai was going to lead a battleship to destroy Benson's fleet? Look, isn't that the case? done?"

"Oh, I still can't believe it, idiot, the stocks you bought... are about to get rich!"

After the boiling, there were boundless doubts, and everyone rushed to the berth where the Zhenshi was to berth, determined to witness this remarkable miraculous moment and hear the earl's battle history with their own ears!

How did three shabby small battleships defeat six first-class battleships?

This is even more Chibi than Chibi, and even more Feishui than Feishui!

Earl of Beihai (Master Long), how did he do it?

It's incredible! (To be continued..)
