Tune the Pacific

Chapter 75 The Young Master's Counterattack

Standing at the window, looking at the ice condensed under the eaves melting little by little, Li Mo's heart was colder than the dripping snow.

What is opium? That's the culprit of the whole of China. The smoke of war brought by it has not yet dispersed over the Far East. Now it has come to Hawaii, where the young master is ready to set sail!

Roosevelt, you bastard! You represent the American political axe, not a gangster, nor a profit-oriented businessman. You actually use such a sleasy and vicious method. What's more, China has been suffering from opium for a long time. Don't you want to let those people go? Since you are not kind, don't blame the young master for being rude. Compared with opium, the things made by the young master are cheaper, more effective and more terrible!

Li Mo put his hand on a small box on the table and trembled slightly, as if it were the legendary Pandora's box. As a traveler who is a modern person in his heart, he really can't calm his mood at this moment. He knew that as long as he opened the box, a demon more terrible than opium would appear.

U.S. Intelligence Organization Strategic Service!

Mediting on this astringent name, Li Mo's face is like frost. Maybe in other places, everyone will be strange to such a name, but for military fans who have lived in the United States for many years, the name is too familiar to him. Because in a few decades, this institution will appear under another name, and its shadow will cover the world!

That's it.

C, I, A!

According to the information sent by Duan Fei, it was they who were responsible for transporting opium to Hawaii and handing it over to Dole for sale, and they also secretly formed a volunteer army of 500 people and prepared to hand over the team to Dole within half a year!

Li Mo took a deep breath. After the cold air swayed around his lungs and turned into a white fog, he opened the box, looked at it and slowly closed it.

"Go, give it to Duan Fei." Finally, he solemnly handed the box to Du Dazhuang: "Tell him..." After a moment of silence, Li Mo continued, "It's up to him to decide everything!"

It was the first time that Du Dazhuang saw the young master look like this. He quickly took the box and held it in his arms and asked, "Young master, this is..." Li Mo looked at the loyal man and took a breath: "I'll only say it once, and you must also stop this matter in my stomach!"

Du Dazhuang nodded hard. Although he didn't know what was in the box, it was not easy to make the young master so cautious. It was certainly not easy to say it to himself now, which shows that the young master has really regarded him as his own!

"I call it ice!" Li Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, and his smile was as terrible as a demon: "You can also call it heaven! It's a hundred times more powerful than smoke!" Li Mo smiled, but he was still struggling in the bottom of his heart. He wanted to get the box back, but when he thought of Roosevelt's hot means, he finally gave up.

In the winter of 1891, this thing had actually been invented, but it was Li Mo, a modern man from later generations, who was really ready to make it on a large scale.

Du Dazhuang's hand holding the box shook slightly. He had seen the power of the smoke with his own eyes. Now the thing in his arms is a hundred times more powerful than the smoke! God, what the hell is that?

"It's time for those great powers to take the consequences of themselves!" Li Mo returned to the window, looking at a drop of melted snow, looking for the last excuse for himself.

After half a year of cat winter life, Master Li has grown a lot higher. If you don't look at your face carefully, it's almost the same as an adult. The young master is finally sixteen years old!" In front of the mirror, Li Mo smiled stupidly.

"Fifteen years and seven months old!" Zhao Long, who was kind-hearted, thought that the young master had miscalculated and reminded him. As a result, he was chased and killed by Master Li with a fixed black star pistol for three days. He was so scared that he hid in the base and dared not show his head. Later, everyone knew that the young master liked to use the virtual age!

As the ice and snow began to melt, mining entered the busiest season. Master Li, who had disappeared for half a year in everyone's eyes, returned to Hawaii again. The warm sea breeze, the bright sunshine, the forest of coconut trees, and two big apples that became more and more cute and gradually turned red!

The haze of a winter dissipated in an hour!

"Apprentice! It's time to get up!"

Master Li, who had not yet woken up from the excitement after coming back, heard a delicate cry in his ear. He leaned out of the quilt and stared at Duan Yueer and gritted her teeth. I have entered Punaho College in Hawaii. Why do I still use this word? Isn't this a disgrace to Mr. Sun and Comrade Obama? He was so angry that he pulled Xiao Yue'er into the quilt.

An exclamation and Jiao angrim immediately sounded from the room. Soon, a slender figure rushed out of Li Mo's room untidy.

" By the way, I'm afraid Mr. Sun is still studying in Hong Kong at this moment, right? I don't know if the famous "Li Hongzhang Book" has started to make a belly draft?" Li Mo tilted his head and looked at Duan Yueer's back. After thinking for a long time, he didn't remember when Mr. Sun came to Punaho College in Hawaii to study. He had to get up lazily and open the floor-to-ceiling window.

At the door, Fu Bo couldn't help laughing and cry as Duan Yueer and Yixi's little face flew past in front of him. After being dulled at the door for a while, he frowned: "The young master is not young anymore. Should I tell him about that?" He moved again and again, and finally sighed: "I'm afraid they won't admit it! Why don't you contact me first and see what's going on the other side? Thinking of this, I turned my head and walked downstairs again.

Li Mo didn't notice Fubo outside the bedroom. At this moment, he was immersed in the roar in the distance and didn't feel the rumble. He quickly walked up to the balcony, looked at the huge chimneys with black smoke in the distance, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

After a year of intense expansion, the shipyard finally started construction two months ago. In order to exercise and train workers, Master Li added four large cargo ships for Lin Yongxiang in one go. Although he spent his own money, he couldn't help but want to sing a song when he could hear the strongest heartbeat of the era made by the painstaking efforts. Spring River ** Flowers"!

Three years of payment, a large amount of money, a total of 70,000 tons of shipbuilding capacity, plus a steel plant, two large forging plants, a supporting boiler plant, a steam engine plant, and seven other large and small factories, and even two that have been built. Because of the lack of machinery, technology and manpower, they were not put into use, which were covered up into two. The arsenal of the warehouse.

Except for Hawaii, which has no surname Li, this has become the place where he set sail!

The dream has gradually opened, but there is not much time left for Li Mo. He cannot be allowed to accumulate step by step. He must adopt a more radical leapfrog model, so the first shipbuilding is a large cargo ship! Of course, in order to ensure safety and add full horsepower to the shipyard, Master Li specially paid a high salary to get thousands of workers with rich shipbuilding experience from Europe and signed a long-term contract. Dozens of designers and various engineers with experience in large-scale ship design have also been recruited from second-rate countries in Europe, so that the shipyard can start low-speed production.

Why is it said to be low speed? Because in addition to a thousand technicians from other countries, the shipyard currently has less than 3,000 workers trained by the Hawaii shipyard and one or two thousand Chinese workers with certain shipbuilding experience from Europe and the United States. In the shipyards and supporting factories that need at least 10,000 skilled workers, there are no waves, so they can only It is built at a low speed. According to his estimate, it will take at least three years to complete the construction of four cargo ships.

That is to say, in the next three years, the Hawaiian shipyard will actually have no military capability.

However, there is nothing we can do. The shipmen sent to study in Italy will not come back until at least two years later. The people sent from Chile can't come back for the time being due to the construction of the destroyer, so they have to start work while training and slowly accumulate experience.

This is a necessary process. Even with the golden finger brought by future generations, we can't do anything in this regard. Fortunately, the navy has enough warships, which is not very urgent.

Thinking of the navy, Li Mo's eyes turned to the opposite of the shipyard, in the center of Pearl Harbor, on the peninsula that stretched out of the harbor and was almost connected to the waterway into the port. A tall tower-shaped building appeared in sight.

Although Roosevelt is powerful, after all, it is not U.S. territory, so he can only use this earthy method to build a tower to monitor himself, but now the dock is full of civilian ships, and even monitoring is not good-looking. Li Fu even generously invited the Queen of Hawaii, the minister of various countries and The merchants came to visit.

Roosevelt is worthy of being an awesome man. He came to Hawaii alone and persuaded the American businessman Dole to try to subvert the Kingdom of Hawaii. He also used opium to destroy his own painstaking efforts and control the whole of Hawaii!

It's a pity that he miscalculated. It's just opium! Let the young master buy as much as you have! And it will also let you know that once the young master is fierce, he will bring some devil to the world!

What's more, no matter how powerful he is, he can't change the reality that most of the interests of the United States are still in the Atlantic at this moment. There are also awesome people in the young master's hands. Although Tan Xiaozeng went to Chile to help Long Guozhang after he came back, his trick made the Japanese workers in Hawaii hide from the Americans, and another literati who went to Cuba was caught off guard by the United States!

Thinking of the letter from Cuba received last night, the corners of Li Mo's mouth suddenly drew a wonderful arc.
