Tune the Pacific

Chapter 74 Roosevelt's Poisonous Hand

PS: I had something to do last night, and I owe everyone an update. This chapter is to make up for it!

Tang Xiao felt dizzy for a while. What is this for? Could it be that the young master was also suffocated by the bitter cold and had nowhere to vent? Why don't you put so many notes on your face?

Hearing the shouting, Zhao Long's forehead was blue and his face was darker than Tang Xiao's. The first few items in the military rules of the first division were drug control and gambling! But that's good. Except for Ouyang Xiu, who is not on duty today, several other regimental commanders are gathered here and dragged the young master here to gamble together! Don't you want to live?!

But when he saw the chessboard on the table and the scattered black and white chess pieces, he was stunned, right? I've never seen anyone gamble with chess! Have you had a new look after you quitting recently? To put the words that the young master often hangs in his mouth, isn't he...

Can't keep up with the times!

Zhao Long straightened his eyes and said, "Young master, you are..."

Gobang!

Master Li's eyes turned red and ears when he lost! That day, he was dragged by Huangfuqi to play Go. The young master couldn't do it, and he couldn't be ashamed. He could only "invent" this simple new way of playing method. But who would have thought that in just a few days, the young master lost with a white paper. What's the matter?

After learning the gameplay of gobang from the most active Luo Feng, Tang Xiao was the first to squeeze into the crowd and asked to compare with the young master. Fortunately, Zhao Long quickly pulled the young master out of the crowd, so he was not humiliated again.

"You said I would lose to that guy!" Master Li stared at Zhao Long with a bad face and angrily. He saw that if Zhao Long didn't say that he was ugly, he would have to go back to fight for another 300 rounds.

It was really uncomfortable to be stared at by the young master's rabbit's eyes, so Zhao Long hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "Young master, it's a letter from Uncle Fu!"

"The business is important." Master Li hurriedly took off the white paper on his face and turned his head and said, "I'll teach you a lesson later." Then he took over the letter. But as soon as he looked at it a few times, the corners of his mouth couldn't help hooked up.

"The young master's army of science and technology has finally begun!"

In fact, since he was reincarnated, Li Mo has always wanted to collect some important scientists in this era and form a strong scientific and technological team. Therefore, when Chen Ping was in charge of the United States, he first contacted some excellent Chinese students. Due to the existence of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, some of them were talented. It is overflowing, but it has never been recognized by the mainstream society, and some people can't even find a job.

Later, the arrival of Li Enfu gave Li Mo a carefully selected long list. The people on the list are not old, and the oldest are only about 30 years old, but they are all elites among the Chinese in the United States. However, Li Mo has never found an academic leader who can lead them, so he has not taken the initiative. Go and recruit them.

It's different now. With the monster Tesla, Li Mo immediately set up a "Li's Electric Company" in Hawaii and bought a private manor not far from his shipyard at a high price as a base for these big-headed monsters.

With the arrival of Tesla, 50 volunteered Chinese elites also went to Hawaii one after another, and a total of 70 Chinese students and various scientific talents recruited by Chen Ping in Europe also arrived in Hawaii. In addition to being Tesla's assistants, some of them have applied for experimental funds from General Manager Fubo. Kim, set up his own laboratory.

Although I don't understand why the young master treated these people so preferentially, the loyal old housekeeper still strictly carried out the order. The checks made those big-headed monsters who only recognize money smile, but also made the old housekeeper's heart bleed!

This is all money!

But they not only confiscated it, but also worked harder to spend money. This is not a super monster that has just been here for a few days, and they have reached out for the new equipment just been made in Europe! Only then did Fu Bo write a letter to ask.

In addition to the crutches in the letter to show that the money was spent a little unfairly, Fubo also described the recent events in Hawaii in detail. It turned out that after Roosevelt arrived on Oahu, he immediately found an American businessman named Dole. Although he didn't know what they talked about, judging from Dole's performance, he must have gained a lot of benefits.

Tan Xiaozeng, the newcomer, and the Nighthawks also s also sang a good play together. The poor sister of the immigrant leader did not know what medicine she had been given and was spoiled by several Americans. Keiji Akita was angry and took the native soldiers in the Royal Guard of Hawaii to clash with the Americans. Unfortunately, I couldn't twist my arms and thighs. Finally, the Americans threatened the queen and directly ordered the expulsion of Hawaii for thousands of days. Now in Hawaii, I almost hid when I saw the Americans, not to mention hugging the American thighs!

The American businessmen led by Dole took this opportunity not only robbed the place of the escort around the Queen, placed a lot of Americans, but also embezzled a large amount of his own property and controlled almost all the important positions in the Kingdom of Hawaii. In addition, several Chinese were independent, so now Hawaii has formed American independence. The big situation.

"Young master, do you want me to send someone back?" Zhao Long is a little worried about the independence of the United States.

"No." Master Li shook his head. This situation was officially his dream. Didn't he ask for trouble for sending someone back? He hurriedly said, "Reply and ask Mr. Tan not to go to Chile for a while. Stay on Oahu to help Fubo!" In addition, tell them that they should try to restrain the people below during this period and avoid conflicts with the Americans. In addition, if possible, they might as well give them some eye drops to make the Americans have the illusion that our Chinese are fighting.

"Infighting?" Zhao Long was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Young master, you are..."

"Yes, let the Americans continue to be bigger!" Li Mo smiled and said, "Queen? Humph! There is a time when she begged us!" After saying that, he stuffed the letter into his pocket and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Let's go and show you something new."

"New thing?" Zhao Long's eyebrows jumped. The last time the young master said this, he took him to see the grenade. Now...? Did the young master come up with something good again?

Li Mo pulled Tang Xiao, who played chess, out of the crowd and took Zhao Long to the innermost small room. Before Zhao Long could look carefully, he was stuffed into a fist on the central table, put an iron plate underneath, and a thick iron pipe fixed on the table with two brackets to attract attention.

"Young master, this is..."

"This is called a mortar, which was invented by the young master." Tang Xiao was full of stars. While introducing Zhao Long, he took out two olive-shaped shells from the side, with a strange shell with a small tail underneath. He said, "This is a special shell. As long as you stuff it in, you can hit the ground for several miles. It is more powerful than a few grenades!"

Zhao Long stared at the iron pipe, with stars in his eyes and some doubts at the same time: "Can such an iron pipe be called a cannon? How many more miles can you fight?

" Mortar!" Master Li kicked Zhao Long away and asked Tang Xiao to explain to him. He ran to the next shelf and took a black five-pointed star-shaped pistol in his hands.

"This is the young master's greatest invention!" Looking at the black star with the handle of the gun, Master Li's eyes were straight. The most famous pistol in China in later generations, the Type May 4 was finally designed by the young master!" Li Mo shamelessly turned the pirated version into his own design, but now the pistol in his hand is no longer called the Type 54, and it has been renamed Black Star by Master Li.

It turned out that since his trip to Chile, Li Mo found that he urgently needed a self-defense weapon, especially the Nighthawk and some field personnel, so after thinking about it for a long time, he stole the most familiar and only pistol in his previous life that had been playing with for a while.

However, it has not been completely copied. At least the current Black Star pistol has changed the original 7.62mm caliber to 9mm, so that it can only hold seven bullets, and the handshake has become thicker and plump.

Touching the familiar pistol, Li Mo seemed to return to the annual military training in his previous life and looked at Tang Xiao with a smile: "Have you tried it?"

"Don't worry, young master, I've tried it all. This thing is much more exciting than the left wheel! My wrist still hurts these two days!" Tang Xiao nodded with an excited face.

"Nonsense, if the revolver can compare with it, why do I do it!" Li Mo smiled in his heart, put a few POSS with a gun, and said, "How many a month?"

Tang Xiao, who was still full of spring breeze just now, heard the young master's question. Suddenly, he was like an eggplant withers after frosting. He gritted his teeth and stretched out five fingers: "A month, five or six."

"It's only five or six every month?!" Master Li almost wanted to kill Tang Xiao. He spent so much effort to build this factory, and he could only get a few five or four pistols in a month. What a waste!

"Five pistols, 30 rifles, five mortars, plus all the matching ammunition." Seeing that Master Li's face was not good, Tang Xiao quickly added, "This is my greatest ability. Unless you give me a few more stamping machines, sealing machines and other machinery, I will get you a hundred per month!"

"Go and grab it!" Master Li directly ignored Tang Xiaoyou's resentful eyes: "In three months, either you will double the output of pistols and rifles, or you can go to the shooting range and stand by yourself and let the soldiers be targeted. Two ways, choose by yourself!"

Tang Xiao's face turned green. Did he go to the shooting range as a target? How can the young master figure it out!" Bullying people." Tang Xiao raised his arm with a slight tremor, lifted it up in mid-air and hung it down again, nodding helplessly.

Regardless of Tang Xiao's sad and angry eyes, Zhao Long held the mortar or asked suspiciously, "Young master, can you really fight this thing called mortar?"

"Nonsense, you can't hit me to steal... Why did I design it!" Li Mo was in a hurry and almost said the word piracy and kicked Zhao Long. However, this can't be blamed on the other party's ignorance. The first front-load mortar in the modern sense was not invented by the Russians until 1904, so looking at such a simple thing as a gun barrel plus two brackets, I'm afraid everyone will have it. Doubt.

Tang Xiao looked at the young master resentfully: "Young master, when can we go to Hawaii? I really don't have the ability to expand production in this place!"

"It's almost time. I'll take you there after this winter." Li Mo raised his finger. In fact, he also knew that although there were rich minerals here, there were no large factories such as supporting smelters, so it was difficult for Tang Xiao and other skilled workers.

Hearing the young master's promise, Tang Xiao's interest also turned to Hawaii, and his eyes lit up: "Young master, is that place really summer all year round?" That's it!" Zhao Long held the mortar and said, "That's a good place. There is more sugar than salt. The coconut is bigger than your head. The beach is full of undressed women!"

"say! This bastard." Li Mo kicked Zhao Long and said, "Bastard, don't talk nonsense. If there are really so many undressed women, why didn't you see you bring one back?"

Zhao Long grinned and touched his buttocks. He actually held the mortar in his hand and said aggrievedly, "Isn't it driven back by you before you got it?"

"Oh? Is it wrong for me to say that?" Li Mo smiled crookedly. Before he could teach Zhao Long a lesson, suddenly a sudden sound of rapid footsteps came from the outside.

"Young master, there is an emergency in Hawaii."

"Emergency power!" Zhao Long quickly put down the mortar, looked at Tang Xiao, and saw the doubts in the other party's heart. You should know that the nearest telegraph station in the town is 50 kilometers away. In order to attract auctioneers, Thomas spent a lot of money on the basic development of wires, mainly for those investors.

Although the telegraph station arranged their own people, unless it was particularly urgent, no one would brave the wind and snow to send telegrams dozens of kilometers away, so after receiving the telegram, everyone was shocked.

Li Mo took the telegram quickly and only took a look. His face was like the cold wind outside, and it suddenly became cold!

Seeing this, Zhao Long quickly grabbed the telegram, and his face was full of haze after reading it. Tang Xiao knew his identity and didn't read the telegram. He just quietly pulled the corner of Zhao Long's clothes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The American businessman named Dole began to sell opium to our workers in Hawaii!"

Li Mo didn't seem to hear the conversation between Zhao Long and Tang Xiao. Looking at the room full of guns, his eyes were full of fierceness. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said a name word by word.

"Roosevelt!"
