"I am so happy that I am confused. In fact, I should have asked... I don't know where my benefactor is now? I want to thank him in person!"

No matter who the other party is, a human, a ghost, a god or an immortal, these more than 300 lives alone are enough to make Deng Shichang repay him in this life and in the next life.

"You know this person too, Long Hao, haha, it was King Long Hao who sent someone to save you!"

"Long Hao? The King of the Alchemy Kingdom!?"

Deng Shichang's shock was really amazing.

After a while, he came to his senses and murmured: "It's unlikely that he, he, didn't hear that he was being chased by the British fleet, how could he have time..."

Liu Kun smiled and said, "It's heard from me, can you still take it seriously? Look at me, if the British really come, will I still have time to chat with you here? The Nanyang Navy is my first in the southern part of the Qing Dynasty.

The sea barrier, if the British Indian Ocean fleet heads north, we will be the first to be affected..."

"I want to meet him!"

"This time may not be possible. After His Majesty Hao sent you a boat, he left Shanghai. I heard that he still has important things to do in the United States..."

“…It’s a pity!”

Deng Shichang looked regretful: "King Longhao, can he really have the ability to snatch people from the King of Hell? Rebirth of broken limbs is the legendary method of immortals!"

"Haha, Zhengqing, you probably don't know that His Majesty Hao is a pharmacist..."

The pharmacist is not something that Deng Shichang can understand. He just silently recited Long Hao's name and left Liu Kun. After he came out, he looked ashamed on his face.

The court was eager to put aside its relationship with Long Hao. Deng Shichang heard about this incident, but things were unpredictable. Unexpectedly, the one who saved himself and a bunch of robes was Long Hao, who was regarded as unpopular by the court!

This face was a little hot. Deng Shichang's thought of asking Long Hao to help Beiyang was so excited that he could only be stillbirth and could not say it.

Alas, this court, apart from taking advantage of the great righteousness, has never done good deeds to Beiyang? It is equivalent to Deng Shichang, who died once, and this idea of ​​"big rebellion" cannot be stopped.

Yes, the funding for establishing Beiyang was considered to be paid by the court, but the tax was 100% and the amount of money on Beiyang was deducted at most was only 40%.

I also have to bear the "notorious reputation" of increasing the tuition and supporting the army.

Since its establishment, Beiyang has never added new ships. In the past one or two years, I have only seen the Lord Zhongtang constantly coming to Beiyang to preach to be loyal to the court and the emperor and the country, but the salary that Beiyang soldiers receive is constantly decreasing every year.

In addition, there are many factions above and they are constantly sending "gilded" generals. Some of them don't understand naval battles at all. They are full of sluts, but they still pretend to point fingers!

The rise of the Japanese Navy is not unaware of the Beiyang, but every time we propose it to the top, we get the result of the stone sinking into the sea.

To be more detailed, take the ammunition on the gunboat as an example. If it weren't for the sudden delivery of a batch of shells some time ago, and a group of foreigners accompanied him inspecting the shells stored in the Beiyang warehouse, we wouldn't have known about them, which were handed over to domestic workshops.

The shells produced were actually filled with sand...Dry it. This is no longer treating us Beiyang people as fools, it is just to push us into the hot pot of oil pot!

Deng Shichang secretly deduced it after waking up, but ended up sweating profusely.

If it weren't for the timely replenishment of this batch of ammunition like rain after the rain, I wouldn't have bumped into the Yoshino at all: because, if it weren't for the Yoshino who had caught a few real shells and blew up a set of power,

With its speed, even if the Zhiyuan is removed, it will not be able to catch up!

And behind this batch of life-saving ammunition, the shadow of the Alchemy king seemed to be shaking...

Not to mention that Deng Shichang's heart is changing dramatically, a kind of thought of questioning the upper-level leaders is quietly sprouting. Let's raise our eyes a little, look around the world, and see what big things have happened during this period.

Yes, although Beiyang and Japan fought a classic naval battle on the Yellow Sea that was enough to be written into the modern ironclad naval warfare textbook, this... is not the most eye-catching thing!

The most eye-catching thing, or the most eye-catching thing for Americans and Europeans, is nothing more than news related to Long Hao recently.

Since the British local fleet appeared on March 28, Long Hao's whereabouts have been a mystery.

Some people say he was defeated and died, some people say he was fleeing deep in the ocean... Anyway, most of the topics around Long Hao were speculating on his fate.

Of course, in addition to the Arctic Ocean, Long Hao's other base: the Hakka, has not been attacked by the British Navy, which has also brought endless associations to everyone.

The most reliable guess is that the British local fleet should have discovered Long Hao's main submarine force, and wants to achieve his contributions to eliminate these "invisible heroes" on the sea without giving Long Hao a chance to turn things around.

You should know that although Dempsey's press team reported that the submarine has been restrained by the latest anti-submarine patrol boats developed by the UK, there is a truth that everyone understands that the ease of destruction is always greater than that of construction. If Long Hao is forced to do so,

If you send a submarine to commit sabotage, then I believe that people who own ships all over the world will have a headache!

After all, not everyone has the funds and channels to buy an anti-submarine patrol boat!

Therefore, the British local fleet gave up on the practice of pursuing the main force of Longhao's submarine first, which was understood and agreed by most people.

After all, the Cube is dead, so it is there. As long as Long Hao's main submarine force is eliminated, the British Navy can receive Long Hao's "commodity production base" at any time.

Just as everyone was anxious about Long Hao's "life and death" and was anxious to wait, the latest news finally came from the west coast of the United States on April 19th.

Don't get me wrong, the "original creator" of this latest news is not the West Coast media overlord "San Jose Courier", but the "civilian hero" Dempsey and his press corps produced by the United States East Coast!

Sexy and charming American babe (well, I admit, it's a pretty vulgar nickname, but Americans like it) Dedesi Monroe and another photographer appeared in San Francisco, held a briefing, and then announced a

A group of photos and a very explosive news: the British local fleet and the Indian Ocean fleet have surrounded Long Hao's naval main force in the southwest corner of the Pacific Ocean, near the Marshall Islands!

You may not be familiar with the Marshall Islands. To put it simply, this is a must-pass place on the waterway from Australia to the United States. If this area is controlled by the British, then one-third of the Pacific Ocean will fall.

Entering the British's mastery, they can attack and retreat and defend, and can cover Asia and Oceania very well!

Honolulu (Hawaii Islands), Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands, from north to south, can be called a natural Pacific defense line. Whoever can hold them is equivalent to holding the throat from Asia to America!

This explosive news undoubtedly shocked the entire San Francisco, and made countless Long Hao's fans in the United States feel like they were bolt from the blue, and they feel like they were lost.

I heard that after this news came out, many mentally fragile people got hung up at home!

Hanging yourself is not sensational. After all, Long Hao's influence on the western United States has already overwhelmed the White House in the East. If such an Optimus Prime collapses, many people will not see hope, and then seek short-sightedness, which is conceivable!

However, the news fell into the ears of two Johns who had arrived in Chicago. They were more willing to believe that these "hanged ghosts" committed suicide because they were crazy and believed in Long Hao, who bought futures where gold fell. Now,

With the release of news that two British fleets surrounded Long Hao, the price of gold has risen all the way and the rise cannot stop.

They want to not commit suicide, and those worthless short futures orders will also urge them to end their failed lives!

The end of the "Century Gold Gambling" between the two Johns and Long Hao is located in Chicago. May 1 is approaching. According to the requirements of the "Gambling Game", both dealers participating in the betting must give out real money and silver.

, When the delivery date arrives, the delivery will be made on the spot according to the rise and fall of gold futures!

This request was actually made by two Johns. They believed that the victory had been decided, but they were afraid that Long Hao would regret it!

Think about it, the total value is almost approaching the bet of 5 billion US dollars, and even as these two people, there is no way to ignore it.

What does a five billion dollar mean?

For example, jp. The American Steel Company that Morgan has put in great effort to integrate has only spent less than one billion dollars in full swing. Even after the inflation of the past few years and the US dollar has fallen, its value will not exceed two now.

Billion!

In other words, if two Johns lose in this century gambling game, then neither US Steel will have enough compensation!

However, this possibility is absolutely impossible in the eyes of both Johns.

There are at least two reasons.

First, starting from the appearance of the British local fleet at Seattle Port a month ago, the rise in gold prices has become a foregone conclusion, because the appearance of the British local fleet on the west coast of the United States marks Long Hao's attempt to frame the Pacific Ocean to become king.

The wishful thinking was completely failed.

Investors who had previously expected Long Hao to create another miracle will remove gold short orders that followed the trend, so the rise in gold prices is no longer stopping.

What happened later also verified this conclusion. Long Hao was reluctant to show up and did not make any countermeasures against the two British fleets in the south and north. This undoubtedly further verified that many short-sellers withdrew their investment in a timely manner.

Wisdom'!

Second, Monroe's news conference held in San Francisco was an excellent boost to the price of gold and a fatal blow to Long Hao!

This month, the reason why the price of gold has risen in a shy way, has not given Long Hao a fatal blow to the 'blank' for two days and one day, is that Long Hao has repeatedly created in impossible situations before.

The examples of miracles left a deep impression on people!

What about San Francisco Harbour sinking six battleships in half a day;

What can you defeat the 338e infantry division with your own strength?

What a traitor to declare war on the United States and achieve the final victory;

Wait, these miracles combined, put a layer of undefeated halo on Long Hao.

This "halo" never fades away. Long Hao is always a centipede worm that dies but does not become stiff. He will explode and bite at any time.

Of course, Long Hao's strong and terrible capital is also one of the main factors that prevent the soaring gold price.

Both Johns were so angry that they were: Where did the Beihai Bank get so much money? Constantly adding margin, is their cash flow an endless river?

Today, this speculation about Long Hao’s financial resources is finally coming to an end!

The press group where Dedesi Monroe is located has reported news about the British local fleet for more than 20 consecutive days. Now, she leads her assistant to release the news in San Francisco with great enthusiasm. The authenticity of the news is beyond doubt.

Morgan and Rockefeller, who had already learned some of the truth in advance, simply didn't even go to the San Francisco news conference. They were waiting at the Chicago Gold Index Exchange in this trading hall specially opened for this century gold bet.

With the price of gold, I was ready to watch it soar into the sky. Bury Long Hao!

On April 19, 19th, at 11:00 a.m., the hustle and bustle of gold index exchanges in the past were so quiet that it could attract birds.

Everyone was staring at a red telegraph machine at the door attentively. From there, the latest news from San Francisco will be heard!

The news briefing meeting, this strange and difficult name was proposed by Monroe. She claimed that she hated the term "press conference" invented by Long Hao, and said that her news was used to end the "press conference".

In the future, sensational 'news' will be replaced by down-to-earth 'news'.

Her subtext is: From today on, Long Hao will be completely outdated!

As expected, the script was like Monroe wrote, and Long Hao's outdated "opening ceremony" began with his main submarine being surrounded by British troops.
To be continued...
