【330】 Holland, who has a biased view

After Constantine and others found out, they put on their clothes and were about to escape, but who knew that during the escape, they accidentally met a lonely Adrian subordinate. After a burst of fire, the subordinate's rifle went fire and lit a woodshed.

The fire broke out quickly, some of Constantine and others were choked on the spot by the thick smoke, while others rushed to the door easily, but were shocked to find that the door had been locked with iron chains... So, Constantine and his group were burned to death in the sky and sea of ​​fire.

When the water truck came to put out the fire in the early morning, the yard was moved out of the yard, and the bodies were burned miserably and could not recognize their true colors.

After listening to the breeze, Holan's head lowered and he remained silent.

This narrative is full of doubts. For example, if the fire broke out in the woods, why would the fire spread throughout the courtyard? For example, if the gate is locked, why would even soldiers like Adrian appear on the death list...

However, Holland was unwilling to speak up about these things because he had guessed the conclusion.

Shortly after the breeze finished speaking, Holland broke the silence, picked up the "Nangang Atmosphere" and said lightly: "The death list on this is not true, right?"

"……Yes."

Long Hao did not deny this, and replied after a moment of pause: "Mr. Holan's wisdom and insight are indeed amazing. This death list is fake. In fact, those soldiers of the Expeditionary Army were not dead... As you expected, they also locked the gate of the Huamanlou courtyard from outside!"

Holland gritted his teeth and said, "That is to say, they are murderers, but now they are at large?"

Long Hao shook his head and said, "Don't talk to me about the law. The law is only a restraining ordinary people. But for people like me, the law can only be a tool for me to use. It cannot restrain me. Do you understand this truth, Mr. Holland? Besides, these expeditionary soldiers who arsoned the fire have also been punished accordingly. They are applying military law. Now they are in the expeditionary camp and are subject to severe interrogation by Spanish officers."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Holland's eyes: "Earl, you despise the divine and just law. This... has disappointed me so much."

Long Hao laughed and said, "Are you disappointed? Are you going to the west with hundreds of so-called law passed by the so-called parliamentarians and running to the west to buy the shipyard I have worked hard to buy at a low price. Is it sacred and just? Is it sacred and just that I have the ability to resist such a robber law, but I have to raise my hands to dedicate my property because of the so-called justice of the law? I remember that the fundamental basis of the law is that private property is sacred and inviolable. Since you issued robber laws to plunder my property, then, what's wrong with me? Besides, I didn't do it myself. I just did some after-care treatment for you and me after a tragedy happened..."

Holan was speechless when he talked loudly about Long Hao.

Yes. Their review team represented the Congress on the surface, but in essence, it was to use national power to savagely acquire foreign capital.

Therefore, Long Hao said that his private property was infringed upon is the correct one!

Holland understood Constantine's virtue very well. He took the initiative, but in the end, he would definitely forcibly acquire Kunpeng Shipyard at the lowest price, leaving Long Hao losing all his money.

Do others have to cut your body with a knife? Do you still have to tear your clothes with a smile to reveal the fattest fat for the robber to cut off your body?

Thinking of this, Holland, who is not bad by nature, suddenly turned red.

However, Holland was not a vain in his fifty years old. He quickly found the 'loophole' in Long Hao's words and asked, "I will not comment on what you did, but what you said was done for my good. Holland dared not agree! Earl, you let the murderer who killed my colleague go to justice, so why is it for my good?"

"Idiot, the young master wants to protect you. Can't you still see it?"

Long Hao didn't say anything, and the breeze jumped out again, almost pointing at Holland's nose and cursing: "If the young master hadn't instructed the local newspaper to describe this matter as an accident, when the truth was revealed, what would you think would happen?"

“…What are the consequences?”

Horan was so scared that he was a little dazed by the breeze's scolding and asked.

"What consequences? Humph, Spanish soldiers fought bravely in brothels because of a ridiculous gambling, burning more than a dozen representatives of the US government to death. This is definitely a big scandal! The consequence is that if the United States still wants face, it must declare war on Spain!" Breeze's mouth was like a machine gun, and Tutou said continuously: "Not mentioning which country will win after the war begins, but you who have caused this serious consequence will definitely be arrested by the people of the US Department of the United States, put them in prison, and interrogated carefully! At that time, I won't mention whether your life is in danger for the time being, but your life will definitely be ruined and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history... Do you still want to build a submarine? Hehe, I think it would be fine if the bosses of the US Department of the United States don't stuff you into the coffin and sank it into the bottom of the sea..."

The breeze sounded in Horan's ears, and Horan was sweating coldly as he listened: he knew very well that this child who looked like a servant was telling the truth, and this was indeed the most likely result after the truth of the incident was exposed!

Holland didn't know the supreme policy of the US Ministry, but he was sure of one thing: the United States would never want to go to war with Spain at this moment!

There are at least two reasons.

First, the US Department of the United States still has some concerns about Spain's real combat power. In any case, this is an old-fashioned power that once colonized the entire America;

Secondly, the US Navy is not ready yet. They have just established the Webb Shipbuilding Academy. Several large steel warships of the upper grade have just laid their keels... At this time point, the people from the US Department will definitely be so angry that they strangle Holland and other "representatives" who cause trouble!

Constantine died, but if John Holland returned to Webb Shipbuilding Academy alive, all the anger of all parties and forces, and indiscriminately!

Holland's thin body can't afford it!

... Thinking of this, Holland couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Her lips turned white and she murmured: "You're right. I, Holland, can't go back."

"Okay. Breeze, don't say it anymore."

Seeing that Holland's defense line had been almost destroyed, too much, Long Hao spoke to stop the breeze, and then smiled at Holland and said, "The incident has happened. Although I made up for it afterwards, turning this tragedy into a conflict among Spanish soldiers, I still advised Mr. Holland not to go back, because even if the impact of this matter does not expand, the United States will not declare war on Spain, but their internal investigation of Mr. Holland is inevitable!"

Long Hao was telling the truth, and Holland smiled miserably: "So, am I homeless?"

"No, with Mr. Holland's talent, how could he be homeless?"

Long Hao felt that the time was ripe, so he extended an olive branch: "I said before that I admire Mr. Holland's research on submarines. This time, I accidentally invited Mr. Holland to come over. I also indirectly let you avoid a fire tragedy. Doesn't this tell the fate between you and me? I, Long Hao, the hereditary count conferred by Queen Ying, solemnly invite you here. Mr. Holland, please join my Kunpeng Shipyard and build a perfect submarine for you and me!"

Long Hao's voice was very sincere. The invitation was very sincere, but after hearing it, Holland did not show a look of overjoyment. He just raised his mouth dryly. It was neither like refusing nor like agreeing to "sell himself" just now.

Seeing Holland's strange performance, Long Hao said again: "Mr. Holland, my Kunpeng Shipyard is not as strong as any shipyard in the United States. And I can understand you and understand the great value of submarines... To be honest, in this world, only I can see the value of the submarine designed by Mr. Holland, and only I can use the submarines you invented to make the world's naval warfare landscape drastically... Don't hesitate, I promise to give you sufficient funds and sufficient research freedom. I believe that these are something that the US Navy and any of your previous collaborators cannot give you... How about it, are you still not moved by my conditions? Well, come some affordable, Mr. Holland, as long as you nod, all the things in this villa will belong to you, and I will give you a start-up capital of 500,000 US dollars to form a special submarine research team!"

I have to say that Long Hao is very sincere and the conditions given are beyond Holland's imagination. If it were two days ago, John Holland would have agreed without hesitation, but now, he bit his lip and clenched his fists, and his heart was extremely entangled.

There are several reasons why Holan hesitated and was extremely confused.

First, Holland is not a fool. Although Long Hao kept saying that the fire was not designed by him, it was more than a dozen living lives after all! For John Holland, who always believed that freedom and law are justice that the world must absolutely abide by, this is an extremely difficult knot to untie the heart.

Second, after yesterday's hand-to-hand battle, Holland's three views changed suddenly. He became confused about the future of the submarine, and he was shaken by the goal he pursued throughout his life. Yes, Long Hao's promise was very good, but many of Holland's previous collaborators also had this promise that included "absolute freedom", but what happened in the end? They all ended with Holland's injury. After a dream, Holland would no longer be as happy as when he first set foot on the American territory, when he encountered investment.

Third and most important point, John Holland is very optimistic about the future of this Earl of North Sea!

Today is his first meeting with Long Hao, but Long Hao's conceit, arbitrary, arrogant, and regarding human life as a mustard, gave Holland a deep impression... In addition, Long Hao's contempt for the United States, Holland can also see through the words and deeds of this beautiful boy.

He dared to use his hands and feet to send a delegation sent by the US government to acquire his shipyard to "eat" him without falling into the ground, and dared to risk breaking with the US Department of the United States to protect the Spanish soldiers, which made Holland feel strongly uneasy: This yellow-skinned Earl of North Sea will sooner or later go to war with the United States!!

(Of course, if Holland knew that Long Hao had crashed five American destroyers, his desire to refuse would be more determined.)

John Holland came to the United States at the age of 22. In nearly 30 years of submarine research, he had a lot of dealings with the U.S. Department of the United States.

Since the Civil War, Holland has seen the rapid development of the United States one by one. He is also very optimistic about the growing strength of the United States. Especially the vitality and enterprising spirit in the US Department of the United States left a shocking impression on Holland. He once said privately: The United States will conquer the world sooner or later!

Therefore, Holan's evaluation of Long Hao is: overestimating one's own ability and seeking death.

When I go back now, although there is no good result, there is still a turning point. But if I follow this Earl of North Sea, who intends to be an enemy of the United States, I will definitely not have a good ending.

The Chinese have been weak for too long. It is completely impossible to compete with the United States and to compete with the entire Federation on their own!

"I want to think about it again..."

Holan has thought so much, of course he can't tell the truth to Long Hao, otherwise the other party will not turn against him?

Therefore, he used a delaying strategy.

"This matter is very important, it is appropriate for Mr. Holland to think more about it."

Long Hao didn't notice Holland's thoughts. He thought the beard was just reserved, so he said happily: "Though I think about it, I just have time now. So I ask Mr. Holland to follow me to the Kunpeng Shipyard to take a look! You have never come to get the propulsion device you customized last time. That old Inzaji really wants to see you! Haha..."

As he said, Long Hao led the breeze and Holland went out and went downstairs. He was confident that when John Holland saw Kunpeng's potential and realized his sincerity, this submarine ancestor would definitely stay.

Haven't you seen Little Libich, Daimler and others. Haven't they all worked with me very happily?

The black car produced by dmg started and drove away from the villa where Longhao temporarily resettled Holan.

Kunpeng Shipyard is not far from the villa and can be reached in less than half an hour.

The aftermath of the vicious fire that happened last night was compressed to a very small range under Long Hao's control. The poor Constantine and his gang disappeared silently in San Francisco.

And it may take a long time to get back to Rockefeller.

When the Webb Shipbuilding Academy sends a second "shipyard review team" to come, Long Hao's shipbuilding base may not be in San Francisco...

The car was emitting black smoke and drove into the gate of Kunpeng Shipyard without any obstacles.

Through the car window, Holan saw that the door of Kunpeng Shipyard had restored the strict martial law when he came the previous few times. He couldn't help but sigh: Yesterday morning, we came to Kunpeng, and the other party must have known it a long time ago and prepared...

At this point, Horan's heart was so shiny: Constantine and his gang were killed by this seemingly harmless Earl of North Sea.

After burying it, there was no tombstone...

The car stopped at the door of a factory. Long Hao got out of the car. Abin and other backbone of the shipyard had already lined up to greet him. Holland also got out of the car. Now he went to see Abin again. The factory manager was not as reckless and flattering as yesterday, but he saw his bright eyes, his chest was tall, and he looked energetic and capable.

Not only this baby factory manager, but the people around him were also full of energy. Holland seemed to see his own shadow from each of them: it was a kind of enthusiasm that was willing to do everything to his ideals and devote all his enthusiasm!

Seeing this, Holland frowned slightly and felt a little shaken: It was a little different from the legend. Although they were all Chinese, their spirit was not inferior to those of the madmen in the US Navy! Could it be that this Kunpeng Shipyard was not a Count bragging, but it really had the ability to build world's advanced ships?

After entering the factory and drinking some water, Long Hao introduced Holland to Abin and others, and told Abin to arrange personnel to accompany Mr. Holland to visit Kunpeng first.

Be sure to answer questions and answers.

After saying that, Long Hao left first. He had done enough to conquer Holland. Now he still has one important thing to do, so he can only say goodbye.

Long Hao left easily. He was confident. Once he entered his own "thief nest", he was not afraid that John Holland could still fly out of his Five Fingers Mountain.

Abin naturally obeyed the orders of the young master. He did not arrange for others, but took Holland personally to visit the increasingly perfect hardware facilities (factory buildings and docks) of the Kunpeng Shipyard, as well as the boatmen who were working very enthusiastically...

With the breeze reminder, Holland was first taken to meet with the Italian old shipman Inzaghi. The two became friends because of an order for a propulsion device and had several telegrams, which tended to become good friends.

When we met, Inzaji, who was dressed in work clothes, took Horan to see the long-finished propulsion device with a smile. He also spent a lot of time to demonstrate the working efficiency of the propulsion device to Horan.

This treatment made Holland, who was "escaped", feel a little ashamed. Later, during his conversation with Inzaji, he also learned the truth about the Kunpeng Shipyard laying off non-Chinese ship workers: those foreign ship workers were fired because they were not of sufficient level and were no longer suitable for the development of the shipyard. When they were fired, the factory also gave them generous compensation. In addition, people like Old Inzaji who passed the shipman level examination can still stay, and their treatment will be improved compared to before.

The reason is very simple. Kunpeng Shipyard has adopted a grading system for ship workers. The salary of ship workers of each level is based on. The previous big pot meal was completely broken.

With the motivation of the boatman's level, young boatmen are very motivated!

Separated from Inzaghi, Holland was taken to see the 10,000-ton test ship that Abin was proud of. In the huge dry dock, all Chinese ship workers were busy and orderly surrounding a giant ship, which really shocked Holland.
