Constantine is from Quincy Shipyard, Massachusetts. Eight years ago, this historically famous shipyard was funded by the U.S. Navy to build military ships specifically for the U.S. Navy.

Constantine is a front-line engineer at Quincy Shipyard. In addition, he also has a blood relationship with the Rockefeller family. Therefore, as soon as the Webb Shipbuilding Academy was established, he was instructed by JD. Rockefeller to form an imperial envoy.

The mission, came to the United States to review shipyards in the West, to take over the shipbuilding industry on the West Coast of the United States for the Union, or to the Rockefeller family.

Constantine's first stop was San Francisco. After he arrived in San Francisco, he did not go directly to the shipyard by the harbor to conduct on-site inspections. Instead, he first treated the rituals and then the soldiers. According to the etiquette, he first visited the city government team in San Francisco.

His gentlemanly behavior was generally considered by later historians to be a rather stupid and innocent behavior: Hey, you are here to grab the big cake of San Francisco's shipbuilding industry. How can you discuss it with the local "local snake"?

This is a scam with a tiger!

No surprises, when he learned about Constantine's purpose, Mayor Stevenson warmly received the 'Inspector's Minister', serving delicious food and drink every day, in short, doing everything he could to delay

His qualification review of San Francisco shipyards.

Constantine has a good job in shipbuilding, but when it comes to political skills, he can't catch up with Stevenson. For nearly a month, his team has been stranded in the San Francisco city government and is dizzy every day by quarrels.

My brain was so angry that I didn't want to go to inspect the shipyard, I even took a loophole by Stevenson. Just under Constantine's nose, I just asked a foreign holding shipyard called "Ailong" to register.

!

Constantine didn't notice this at all. But who made Long Hao act too arrogantly? A gorgeous order that claimed to be the most luxurious 20,000-ton cruise ship in the world...unless Constantine is deaf and blind.

It is impossible to ignore the past.

After checking the registration time of Ailong Shipyard, Constantine finally realized that he was fooled by the cunning old Stevenson. The past month has been completely abandoned!

When the news of the establishment of the San Francisco Exchange was sent back to New York, Constantine also received the most severe question from the Rockefeller family: Aren’t you rectifying the shipbuilding industry in San Francisco? Why do you still need us to have such important news about the establishment of the Stock Exchange?

I learned from the newspaper: Are you going to work or on vacation?

Constantine, who was scolded by the boss, was very embarrassed. He ran to Old Stevenson and questioned him, but he was all resolved by the old mayor and beat him up. Instead, he asked him again.

Lived Constantine: Hey, it’s strange. Our San Francisco City Government has been treating you deliciously this month, paving the way and building bridges for your work, busy inside and outside, how about it? We approved a European royal princess to build a ship

If the factory is registered, we still have to report to you? Our municipal government has established a stock exchange and we still have to file with you? It’s funny, do you think you are the president of the United States? You are so lenient! You really don’t know what’s wrong with it!

Constantine was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Before he could think of a reason, Old Stevenson said, "The Beijing official is arrogant, I'm sorry I won't serve you anymore!" and then gave Constantine's delegation to him.

The city government was bombed out.

Constantine, who claimed to be very tall, had never suffered such anger, and was slapped by the "Western Country Boy" in his eyes. He immediately fell ill and wasted a few days in vain. .

By the time Constantine recovers from illness, the San Francisco Exchange has already been on the right track, and JD Rockefeller also sent a telegram to Constantine with an ultimatum: What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and buy the shipyards around San Francisco, especially It is a shipyard that has something to do with Earl of Beihai, and I can't let anyone go! If you can't do it, I'll replace you immediately to replace you!

Constantine, who was under great pressure, broke out in cold sweat, and her illness suddenly recovered a lot. With a clear mind, he led the "review team" to visit Ailong Shipyard.

This Princess Aishi has a relationship with the Earl of North Sea. After Constantine reviewed it, she decided to use the newly established Ailong Shipyard to calm down the Rockefeller family with a brand new and passionate performance. dissatisfied.

The winning of this media focus shipyard must have made a lot of contribution, right?

After leaving Ailong Shipyard, Constantine proudly told her subordinates about this idea.

Forcibly acquire Ailong Shipyard?

Princess Changsun, who was guilty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

Constantine's head was hot, but his subordinates were not completely confused, so someone immediately advised: "No, Ailong Shipyard has been in a big spot recently. Let's not say that its holder is a European princess, authentic. Royal nobles! Take it as the world's first 20,000-ton luxury cruise ship for example. How many eyes are staring at us? We will rush up rashly and will become the target of public criticism. Not to mention others, the San Francisco City Government will definitely be the first You have to object!"

That’s right, there are at least two major inconveniences to operate at Ailong Shipyard, and it is an inconvenience that even the Rockefeller family cannot ignore.

First, its holder is not an ordinary foreign capitalist, but a serious royal princess. If the royal princess's property is forcibly deprived of it, I believe that the United States will immediately be protested by 80% of European countries! Morgan and Rockefeller join forces to triple this pressure, and they can't resist it!

Second, it holds an order for a 20,000-ton luxury cruise ship. This is the image project of San Francisco. To destroy this image project, the San Francisco officials represented by Mayor Stevenson can be combined with Constant. Ding fights desperately! The wildness of cowboys in the West is quite famous in this era. At that time, it is not impossible for the "review team" to become Constantine's "burial team".

The subordinates clearly stated the interests with Constantine. Constantine accepted it humbly. However, the acceptance was accepted, but he always had to find a shipyard to do an operation. So he asked distressedly: "I love dragon to build ships." Since the factory cannot move, then tell me which one we want to acquire?”

At this time, a thin subordinate with a big beard in the middle of the team thought about it and said, "Mr. Constantine. I think the Kunpeng Shipyard in Nangang is a good choice and can be regarded as the first one to acquire."

"Oh John, are you familiar with this... Kunpeng Shipyard?"

Constantine opened her eyes wide and said, "What is its background? God bless you, don't be another factory held by the nobles in Europe!"

Another John, and that John is the "founder of the submarine" that Long Hao has not been waiting for for a long time: John Holland.

Holland pondered for a while and said, "Although its background is not small, it meets Mr. Constantine's acquisition requirements."

"Oh, please say!"

"It is an apparently a shipyard registered by the 'Qing Empire', but its actual owner is 90% likely to be the Earl of the North Sea."

Holland's words were lukewarm, but they were like a thunder in Constantine's heart!

The shipyard of the Qing Empire?

Is the actual owner of mr.Doragon?

Constantine was so excited that she wanted to hold on to this "noying guy" who had always advocated the development of submarines and kissed her: OK, the conditions of this ROC shipyard are too in line with expectations, and I'm sorry for not using it to do this information!

Constantine was happy and asked Holland: "Dear John, is your news accurate? Will the actual owner of Roc really be the Earl of the North Sea? How did you know?"

Holland hesitated for a while and wanted to not say it, but considering his current situation, he answered honestly: "Some time ago, I designed a new propulsion device, and happened to see that there is a shipyard here that can be very good.

It was made cheaply... At that time, this shipyard had not been acquired, which was the predecessor of Kunpeng Shipyard... Recently, a technician of its technician invited me to inspect and accept it... So I was fortunate to know

, the owner of this Kunpeng Shipyard is likely to be the very popular Count of Beihai."

"here you go!"

Constantine was in a happy mood and patted Holland's thin shoulders: "John. Your decision to choose to join Webb Shipbuilding Academy is very wise, a shipyard controlled by yellow-skinned people. What future will you have if you go

?Hahaha, even if he is an earl, is he willing to spend money on your hellish undersea coffin?"

Constantine was happy and told the truth. Her colleagues next to her laughed in cooperation. The uncovered ridicule in her laughter made Horan's face suddenly look very ugly.

Yes, this Irish guy who is keen on building submarines is always a joke in this "censorship group".

Although he had built several interesting submarines, the major accident in 1886 ruined his reputation and could not find investors to fund him to build the submarine. In desperation, John Holland chose to join.

After the Webb Shipbuilding Academy with a naval background, I wanted to try my luck to see if my submarine could be seen by a naval master, invest in him, and let him continue the submarine construction experiment.

However, the fact is cruel. In this era when giant ships and cannons were kings, submarines were always pediatrics. After rejecting Inzaghi's several invitations, Horan joined the Webb Shipbuilding Academy and was given daily colleagues.

Countless rolls of eyes and contempt, ridicule has become a routine, and his heart is a little cold when laughed.

The "review team" that went to the west this time was a chore at the newly established Webb Shipbuilding Academy. Holland, who had no background, was naturally incorporated and traveled thousands of miles to the American West, which is known as the "wild".

Holland was different from other colleagues and was not too frustrated. Instead, he felt that the first stop of the review team was San Francisco: Well, the Kunpeng shipyard that kept inviting him was in San Francisco.

What would it look like?

Perhaps it was a big mistake to reject it!

With this "in case" idea, in the previous month, Holland did not spend time with his colleagues at the entertainment of Old Stevenson. Instead, he often slipped out of the city government, inquired about the site of Kunpeng Shipyard, and personally

Go to explore.

However, Kunpeng's guard was very strict, and Holland had limited access to several explorations, but one thing he received was affirmative news: that is, Kunpeng Shipyard is mainly Chinese ship workers, and not long ago, this shipyard was

An operation to clean up non-Chinese boat workers was also launched, driving all non-Chinese boat workers out, with very bad reputations.

Can a shipyard such a narrow-minded shipyard accept its own submarine concept?

John Holland was very disappointed. He did not continue to explore the Kunpeng Shipyard (it was impossible to explore it. Because as the Dragon Scale Army entered Kunpeng Harbor, the surrounding area of ​​Kunpeng had been strictly controlled). Instead, he returned.

In the '**' team of the review team.

After selecting the "fat meat" of Kunpeng Shipyard, Constantine and his gang made a little preparation. They drove to Nangang in a mighty manner to acquire the "Da Qing" shipyard, which is mainly Chinese ship workers.

Constantine's preparation was still very sufficient. He learned that the Kunpeng Shipyard had not received orders in the past six months and was rejected by his peers. Therefore, he was full of confidence and believed that this shipyard controlled by the Earl of Beihai had arrived.

At the end of the road, as long as their purchase payment is released, they will cry and shout to sell it to themselves?

At the entrance of Kunpeng Shipyard.

Constantine sorted out her appearance, got off the carriage she had taken, and ordered her subordinates to inform Kunpeng's person in charge: We are here to spread charity. Are you poor guys still coming out to greet you?

The review team got off the carriage and stood sparsely. Holland hid behind the team, feeling slightly surprised: Hey, where are the yellow soldiers patrolling with guns here? Why are there no one of them today?

Holland felt something was wrong because he had been here before, but this was Constantine and the others who came to Nangang for the first time, so they couldn’t feel it!

Therefore, it is so normal for them to see the deserted appearance at the entrance of Kunpeng Shipyard!

There is no business. So I have to cut off high-paying white boatmen; I lack funds, and even the guards who guard the door were fired;

You yellow people, how can you know how to do modern business and save costs? You have reduced your storefront and grade, so why will your business come to your door?

Besides, laying off white ship workers is offending the entire American shipbuilding industry. How could your peers allow you to survive?

In the gap of waiting, Constantine praised Kunpeng Shipyard as worthless with his 20-year thinking of focusing on shipbuilding.

Although he hadn't even checked Kunpeng's dry dock...

The person in charge of Kunpeng came soon. This was a young man with yellow skin and black hair. The tenderness on his face, the panic and expectation in his eyes fell into Constantine's eyes.

All this made him feel more confident.

"Hello, my name is Abin, the director of Kunpeng Shipyard, may I ask this adult to come here..."

Abin asked who the leader was, and rushed up and wanted to hold Constantine's hand tightly: "Do you want to build a ship? Haha, our Kunpeng Shipyard has a long history, outstanding technology, rich experience in ship workers, and the most important thing is

, the price is very convenient…”

"Okay, we are not a customer for ordering ships...you!"
