Chapter 11 Big Tree

In the early morning, the cold wind blowing from the Bering Strait shrouded the whole Gulf of Alaska in fog.

At this moment, no one in the boat bridge wants to enjoy such beautiful scenery. On the contrary, the atmosphere is tense. No one wants to sail in such a ghostly weather. Even if Long Guozhang, who has grown up on the water since childhood, is still careful to deal with it at this moment for fear of making mistakes.

The sail has been dropped, replaced by the unique roar of the steam engine, which is obviously safer to push with steam in this weather.

"Left car enters three, slow down, and keep five knots."

Long Guozhang shouted at the white iron pipe. Although the telephone has been invented these days, and some countries have begun to install telephones on warships to facilitate internal contact, Rudolf obviously did not want to spend this kind of money, so he still adopted the method of iron pipe transmission.

But at this moment, even if Rudolph wants to spend money, he can't afford a penny. And all this must start with the gold rush in the western United States.

Thomas's adoptive father is a gold digger. Today, when the gold rush in the western United States has gradually dissipated, he has always believed that there is a world-class gold mine hidden in the wider northern Canada and Alaska. For this dream, he has been turning between the cold Alaska and Canada for two years.

Hard work pays off. Finally, one day, old Thomas found a huge gold mine on the tributary of the Yukon River across northern Canada and Alaska, but he had to go back to England to recuperate because he accidentally injured his legs and worried about the safety of his adopted son alone in England.

Half a year later, old Thomas finally recovered from his injury, so he took his adopted son and contacted his good friend Rudolph to hire his ship to Canada to continue his dream of panning for gold. Unexpectedly, after learning the secret of the big gold mine, Rudolph suddenly became greedy and prepared to tie up Thomas and his son that night and ask for the address of the gold mine before killing them. Unexpectedly, old Thomas knew that after he had leaked his mouth, he had been guarding Rudolph. In the end, there was a conflict, and old Thomas was outnumbered and killed.

Fearing that the matter would leak, Rudolph caught Thomas Jr. on the boat that night, turned to Germany to buy a large amount of machinery and materials, and got 60 freshly factory Mausers and a large number of bullets and explosives from his brother who served in the German navy, so he took his crew to deliberately bypass Suez. The canal went to Canada from the Far East, but when he arrived to enter the Yellow Sea, he thought that mining required a large number of people, so he acted as a temporary pirate until he caught enough labor before continuing to set sail.

But he never thought that after working so hard for so long, he spent all the supplies and machinery he had saved to buy, and finally fell into the hands of the "pig cub" who should have been enslaved by him.

Looking at Thomas lying on the table, sketching the map that his adoptive father asked him to remember, Li Mo had an impulse to laugh for three days.

Nothing else, just because there is no one in the world who is more familiar with this road on the map than him. His only self-funded trip in his previous life was the activity called "Re-walking the Gold Rush Road" when he was studying in the United States. There were more than a dozen old gold rush sites, several gold mines that are still high-yielding, and he was curious to check it for a while. A large amount of information.

After God brought him back to this damn era, he opened another door for him!" Do you want to save some for others? Li Mo wanted to laugh, but he saw that Thomas stopped painting and was busy for a day to sketch a general idea. He was really impatient. He grabbed the pencil and drew it for him.

Thomas felt a light hand before he found that the pen had been robbed and his body was squeezed aside. Although he was full of doubts, he did not dare to resist. He just looked at it silently for fear of provoking the little evil star!

But soon, his pupils began to dilate. As the lines on the canvas became more and more dense, and place names were marked one by one. Thomas couldn't believe his eyes. You know, the map in his mind was accumulated by his adoptive father for two years, and now what did he see?

"God? Have you ever been there? In the end, he couldn't help exclaiming.

A twelve-year-old teenager who is considered to be a feudal backward country actually described a record of two years older than Thomas. No, he even added up all the maps in the hands of all the gold diggers in the whole river basin. I'm afraid there is no detailed picture in front of him! The gold mines are marked in detail one by one. Is this the legendary "m Miracle"?! Otherwise, how could he know so much? And judging from his expression, it doesn't look like a random graffiti.

"Damn it, if I can get this picture...!"

Thomas opened his eyes wide, and his throat exuded a scorching heat that he didn't understand, and even forgot the fact that he was still a prisoner.

In the end, Li Mo gave up the idea of continuing to outline, not because he didn't want to. It was too long. His memory was a little vague, and his heart was willing but not strong enough. He had to shake his head at the gold panning map that Thomas thought was a "miki".

"If only there was satellite remote sensing!" Li Mo spat to himself and came to his senses. When he saw Thomas, who was about to stare out of his eyes, he suddenly bent a beautiful arc at the corners of his mouth. He deliberately rolled up the map slowly in front of the other party and smiled, "Mr. Thomas, do you think I drew accurately?"

"Accurate?" Thomas, who was almost drooling at the map, saw that the damn map was being rolled up little by little, and his chest seemed to be stuffed with hundreds of wild cats. But when he glanced at the corners of his eyes at the guard standing at the door, he instantly regained his composure and shook his head: "I don't know."

Indeed, no one can accurately know the value there at this time. Even after the 1896 gold mine was discovered one by one, no one understood what kind of miracle they found!

However, Li Mo is not worried. From the fanatical light in the eyes of the Jewish young man in front of him, it can be seen that in his bones, there are all Jews' obsession with money and wealth, otherwise this nation would not have so many horrible names.

"Well, Mr. Thomas, how about our business?"

"Business?" Thomas's eyes lit up, but when he thought of the current situation, he dimmed in an instant. Looking at the picture scroll in the other party's hand, he took a good opportunity and said, "Aren't you going to execute me?"

"Pone you?" Li Mo smiled cunningly and said, "No, dear Mr. Thomas, I'm not a butcher, not a rick. I think you should see that according to the British Empire, I should at least be a nobleman. As long as I can return to my country, I can live a superior life. Then he put on a gnashing look and continued to fool, "But this has ruined the damn Rudolph. This damn guy, he made me have to kill people for my own safety, and I have to wander in a foreign country and come here."

"However." Suddenly, the words paused. Master Li waved the map scroll in his hand and smiled mysteriously: "I also want to thank him. It was he who gave me a chance to get you! I got this map! I think we can create a big scene together!"

"Thank him? Is it a big scene?" Looking at the map shaking in front of him, Thomas felt dizzy. Although he wanted to grab it, he gave up considering the force value of both sides at this moment. He is not a fool. The Jews' unique sensitivity to interests makes him understand how risky it is.

"Yes, I believe you know that my country is in danger. Although I can't change history, I hope to change the fate of everyone around me." Li Mo waved his hand fiercely: "Including yours!"

"What if I refuse?"

"Will you refuse?" Li Mo smiled and showed his white teeth: "I think the cold sea will make you make the right choice."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold. Li Mo didn't say anything, and Thomas also didn't say anything. The two looked at each other like this. It was not until Zhao Long and Chen Ping at the door thought something had happened that they came in to check and broke the silence.

When Zhao Long's cold eyes swept over Thomas like a razor, he finally lowered his head and sat on the ground. Well, I admit, you won."

On the one hand, there was a golden map scroll, and on the other hand, there was cold sea water and bayonet. Thomas suddenly found that he was like a fish fished out of the water, and then he was thrown into the desert. He had no choice but to gasp and beg the angler to take him away.

"Believe me, time will tell you how right today's choice is! You will be a mining tycoon that attracts the world's attention!" Li Mo picked up Thomas, who was already soft all over.

"Since it can't be changed, then obey it and tap into the best interests." Thomas remembered what his tutor said to him. Looking at the teenager in front of him, he thought for a while and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I want thirty percent!"

"Haha, I believe you, you are indeed a Jew!" Li Mo was stunned and laughed in an instant: "And it's the kind of Jewish who wants money and lives!"

"So you agreed?" After putting down all the burdens, Thomas regained his usual shrewdness and hurriedly asked questions.

"Up to 5%!" Li Mo cracked his teeth and said, "I have more people than you!"

"Are there many people? It's better to say that the fist is big!" Thomas scolded Li Mo for being shameless and nodded. There is no way. Who let his life be in the hands of others? Even if he chooses to cooperate, he knows that he really doesn't have much right to speak now.

Thomas gritted his teeth and saw Li Mo taking out a piece of paper from his arms. He suddenly said, "Rudolph, German, his younger brother Rudolf Arthur serves in the German Navy, with the rank of colonel, and his brother is a businessman..."

glanced at Thomas, Li Mo waved to Chen Ping at the door and said, "Take Mr. Thomas to visit Captain Rudolph, and write down all the information of the pirates' addresses, family and friends like this."

These sentences are said in English, so Chen Ping also knew that the young master was talking to Thomas next to him, but the question was, "Why do you want these things?" Do you want to extort ransom like a kidnapper!"

Within waiting for Chen Ping and Thomas to solve their doubts, they heard Li Mo continue to say in English: "After the statistics are made, all the information will be handed over to Fubo for safekeeping!" As soon as the other enters the river, all the prisoners will be executed immediately!"

Looking at the stretched Li Mo, Thomas felt cold all over his body, because when the other party said these words again, his expression and expression were as casual as if he were talking about what to eat tonight. When another sentence came, his body and mind that had recovered fell into the abyss again.

"Yes, give Mr. Thomas a gun. I think he must be very willing to execute those guys himself!"

Hearing this, Thomas's face completely changed. He couldn't believe his ears. Such a vicious method was actually figured out by the teenager in front of him. You know, as long as that information is in Li Mo's hands one day, I can't get rid of his control one day. If he resists, he will probably spend the rest of his life under the pursuit of these sailors' families and Rudolph's families.

"You bastard! The devil!" Thomas roared.

"Thank you for your praise." Li Mo didn't mind at all. Instead, he thought of another thing and asked, "Yes, Mr. Thomas, since we are collaborators now, can you show me your Jewish sheepskin rolls?"

Thomas, "..."

Soon, Thomas was taken away by Zhao Long. Seeing the two leave, Chen Ping said his doubts: "Young master, why do you cooperate with Thomas? We can dig out the gold mine by ourselves!"

Li Mo smiled.

Chen Ping is very smart. He grew up in England and even studied at the Naval Academy for a few years. However, in Li Mo's view, he still lacks some necessary overall views and can't see the current situation clearly.

But Li Mo is not in a hurry. He has enough time to slowly ** his real right-hand man, so he patiently explained, "Do you know how many minerals there are? And in addition to the gold mine, we need other things. How much gold can we ship even if we don't eat or drink? Besides, don't forget that the place we are going to is Canada, and there are powerful Americans not far away.

"This is a world surrounded by great powers. When you don't have enough power, gold and wealth can only become the prey of others, and what we have to do now is to hide these things behind others until we have enough power. At that time, we will sweep the world!"

The voice was gentle and deep, but when Chen Ping heard it, his heart was suddenly shocked and ambitious! In these words, it was obvious that when everyone was stunned by gold and wealth, the teenager in front of him had already stood on a peak that he could not even see, overlooking the world!

Chen Ping's eyes changed, but he didn't know that there was another point that Li Mo didn't say. In addition to Thomas's British identity, what really made him make up his mind was Thomas's Jewish identity. It was a terrible interest group that only needed to support Thomas and let him enter that world. So in the future, as long as you wipe your buttocks, even if it is an American political axe, you will not dare to easily put your hand in here.

"I need a big tree to protect me from the wind and rain."

The moment Chen Ping left, he heard the muttering from the room.
