[021] Yukon Delta on

After that, Long Hao's vigorous recruitment action made Jianbirov think that there was something strange about this freighter: Could it be that the "pigboy" from the East rioted midway and killed Cherov? Qianbirov, right?

Based on the reports from his subordinates, the husband decided to observe for a while and report to the city government early tomorrow morning!

But who would have expected that the unlucky Jian Hirafu would be tied to the boat by Long Ganruo's men tonight.

After hearing this, Long Hao broke out in a cold sweat: This Jian Hirafu actually guessed most of the facts! Fortunately, Long Ganruo took action, otherwise he would probably face the pursuit of the US government tomorrow!

Long Hao kicked Jianbirov bitterly and walked up to Zhou Bodang: "You did nothing wrong in this matter. You are the leader of the Dragon Scale Army. You should make decisions on small matters by yourself. There is no need to inform you of anything."

I!"

Then he said to Long Ganruo: "Gangzi, you have made great achievements this time. These Russian idiots almost killed us!"

Finally, Long Hao ordered Thunder Dragon: "Keep Jianbirov in custody, and we will leave the port immediately. The nights are long and the nights are long, and Bethel can't stay any longer!"

Although Qianbirov kept saying that he was the only one who recognized Cherov's ship, Long Hao did not dare to take risks, so it was better to leave Bessel as soon as possible!

It was originally scheduled to depart on March 21st, but now it seems that we will leave Bethel Port at dawn on the 19th!

Long Hao issued an emergency order, and the Dragon Scale Party acted quickly. In the early morning of the 19th, they sent all their personnel to the residences of the recruited miners, telling them to pack their bags, bring their families, and board the ship as soon as possible!

Although the miners were woken up in the middle of the night and were confused, they were tempted by the Dragon Scale Party members' promise to give each person a US$2 "expedited fee", so they quickly packed up their things and boarded the Dream Seeker! Anyway, these lowest-level coolies were also

There was nothing valuable to pack, just a few pots and a few clothes, that was all the family property.

Of course, there were also curious Chinese workers who asked, and the Longlin Party members followed Long Hao's instructions and answered: The location of the gold mine has been leaked, and the Xunmeng and other ships must set off early!

It must be said that the Chinese nation has been good at creating miracles in life since ancient times. The mobilization started at 0:43, and by 2:22, all 298 miners and their 215 family members had boarded the Dream Seeker.

!

At the same time, Long Hao also called Schmidt and Melissa, knocked on the door of the port authority overnight, and told them that the Xunmeng, Dragon Ship and Sinopi would set sail overnight.

The managers were sleepy-eyed, but when they saw the distinguished British aristocratic lady and German doctor arriving, they asked no more questions, signed a note, opened the port, and let Long Hao and the others leave.

At 2:45, a dull whistle sounded, and the Xunmeng set sail, followed by the dragon ship and the Sinopi.

Although Bessel is a small port, the residents there are used to hearing the whistles of ships late at night, so the journey was smooth and smooth. This team of three ships soon left Bessel and headed north.

Drive to Norton Sound and prepare to go south from there to enter the Yukon River that traverses the Alaskan mainland and western Canada!

Facts have proved that Long Hao's decision to set off immediately was quite wise. On the afternoon of the 20th, someone reported to the Bessel government that the Dragon ship was a ship registered by the Russian Cherov, and it was suspected that the British nobles on board were cunning pirates in disguise.

Success, but by this time Long Hao and his group had already

It's so far away that the city government is not willing to expend effort to find it: Oh, I don't care about that Cherov. Those ships have left for two days and they are bound to who knows where. If you want to find them, you have to ask the British for help.

cruiser, but in that case, what profit would we have to make?

As a result, the person who reported the report was scolded and beaten with a stick by the officials of Bethel. He was also charged with slandering the nobles and disturbing official business, and was fined 200 US dollars.

This is something to say later. In the early morning of March 19, when the government officials in Bethel heard that Long Hao weighed anchor and left in the middle of the night, they just laughed mockingly: The British aristocratic lady would think wildly and go to the barren land in the north.

Looking for gold mines? I thought she was bluffing and secretly ran to Ah in the south.

The Alaska Peninsula is pretty much the same... If she really goes to the north, no one will argue with her. If the location is leaked, it's just nonsense! Alaska is a useless place. There are no big gold mines. These are all Congress.

The ads posted by those shameless guys here are all lies!

However, after the 20th, these officials combined the reports and figured out that the 'British noble lady' was really a pirate who robbed Cherov's ship. The gold digging was a cover to deceive those yellow-skinned monkeys into selling their talents.

It's the truth.

Hey, the poor Eastern Monkey must have been sold to the south to build the railway!

Naturally, Long Hao didn't know about this little episode that happened after he left Bethel. On March 24, Long Hao's fleet (let's call it the fleet) arrived at Norton Bay, which was worse than Bethel.

There are no decent ports, only a few simple docks, surrounded by sparse villages, inhabited by fishermen.

Long Hao and others took a short rest. On the 26th, the fleet entered the Yukon River and officially entered the Yukon Delta in Alaska.

With the Xunmeng, the dragon ship has freed up a lot of space and is much more spacious. Long Hao stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the endless Yukon River. The ship passed by, surrounded by open river beds and stretches of deserted areas.

It really feels like you have arrived in the prehistoric wilderness!

It is already the fifth day since we entered the Yukon River, and tomorrow is April 1st. Along the way, we have seen a lot of small animals and primitive vegetation, and we have also encountered three or two small villages, but there is not even the slightest bit of gold mine.

I couldn't see any shadows. There were riverbeds covered with stones everywhere, but there... there was no gold sand at all!

Without gold sand, where would the mineral veins come from?

Schmidt stood beside Long Hao and couldn't help but ask: "Master Long, could that Russian guy lie to you? Maybe Cherov has never been to the Yukon River at all, and the gold nugget is

Did you find it somewhere else?"

The "Russian guy" in Schmidt's mouth refers to one of Cherov's men. According to his account, Cherov once rented a 100-ton boat and hired a group of people to sail to the Yukon River.

, he was among them.

Long Hao took a breath of fresh air that he could never breathe in his previous life, and felt refreshed: "Dear Schmidt, I believe that the place where Cherov found the gold nugget is around the Yukon River. You know, the Alaskan interior is rugged.

It is uneven, full of virgin fir trees, and has complex mountain shapes. If you want to find gold mines, you can only come by boat! Therefore, as long as we have patience and observe along the river, we can find what we are looking for!"

Cherov was cautious and suspicious, and the hired Russian was kicked off the ship on the tenth day. However, he was quite scheming. Before leaving, he calculated Cherov's food reserves and estimated Cherov's ultimate goal.

It was about 20 days on the upper reaches of the Yukon River.

Long Hao gestured with his fingers and circled the map of Alaska he bought. That area was right near the Arctic Circle!

The Xunmeng was loaded with a lot of food and fresh water. Since Long Bo was still in retreat, the director of the newly established Logistics Department was temporarily replaced by Long Xiaohu, the dean of the Finance Academy below. This fat man who had already lost several pounds was almost

We bought all the grain stocks around Bessel, which is enough to feed these more than 400 people for half a year.

However, Long Hao's goal is to build his own kingdom in northeastern Alaska based on gold mines. He cannot just sit back and be self-sufficient. Self-sufficiency is a must! So he asked Long Xiaohu and also purchased many seeds of food crops, such as

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, nuts, etc., and even some rice and wheat seeds were purchased.

Long Xiaohu couldn't help but wonder, how could rice be grown in the cold climate here in Alaska, which was even worse than that in his hometown in Northeast China? However, he obeyed Master Long's instructions and tried his best to do what he was told, and he was actually caught on a ship from the ship.

Some rice seeds were found on a North Korean cargo ship!

Entering April, Long Hao ordered that instead of simply consuming the food reserves on the freighter, the fleet was required to sail for only 6 hours a day. During the remaining time, miners were sent to the shore to collect ore and game, and the ore was handed over to Shi.

Mi Te analyzed that the game was cooked by the master chefs under the Logistics Department.

Long Hao vaguely remembered that Alaska was not only rich in gold mines, but also rich in silver, copper, platinum, tin, zinc and coal mines. There were also many large oil fields, but due to backward technology, they were not excavated in the 19th century! These were not discovered in the 19th century.

, Young Master Long wanted them all, so he asked our doctor of geology to collect samples and make analysis and comparison records to facilitate future development!

Long Hao’s original words were: Spending money to support this Jew is not just to let him stay by my side and enjoy the scenery leisurely every day! You have to work, otherwise how can you be worthy of the 10% share I gave him?

It has to be said that Long Hao now has more and more of the thick black energy of a politician in his previous life!

A word from the young master, Schmidt broke his leg! The world-famous mining tycoon and father of energy recalled: April 1890 was the darkest month in my life. I only slept an average of 3 hours a day.

The rest of the time, I work, work, work…
