Chapter 33 The Queen of Hawaii

Let's keep a couple! I love the queen! The leather whip... Candles? It's up to you!

A few days later, Li Mo finally won the small steel factory and the useless land around it for 250,000 pounds, and officially announced that he would expand the size of the shipyard. In addition to expanding the original two shipping services to 10,000 tons each, two large dry docks of 20,000 tons were under construction. After the news was announced, almost all Everyone is interested in this young master Li, who suddenly came to Hawaii, sprinkled a lot of money and rose quickly.

However, what followed made them dumbfounded, because Chen Ping not only handed over the sales and processing of their most lucrative sugar cane garden and pineapple garden in Hawaii to the Americans on behalf of the Li family, but also purchased shipbuilding equipment and steel processing equipment from Britain, Germany and France, and reached an agreement with several parties at the same time. When they promised to provide shipping business for many merchants at a price less than 10% of the market, all the people understood that this newly rising family was obviously only interested in shipbuilding and shipping.

Since they did not reach out to the industry with the highest profits, and also took the initiative to give up a lot of benefits, the so-called people who did not smile, the main sugar merchants in Hawaii welcomed the arrival of the Li family.

In the next few days, the Qingshan Villa was even more popular, and Master Li began to be the shopkeeper again. After handing all this over to the old housekeeper Fu Bo and Chen Ping, he took two little maids to travel around, spent a lot of money, and put on a super duffian posture.

"Ha ha, the young master is famous now." Chen Ping looked at Li Mo, who was sitting on the stool, drooping his head and with his feet open, as if he was so tired that he had no backbone, and laughed.

"Yes, in order to have a meal, I wrapped up the whole restaurant, bought half a street of clothes, and so many corals." The old housekeeper looked at a lot of things in the hall and said, with a black line hanging on his head. Finally, he couldn't laugh or cry, "A thousand pounds a day!" Young master, even if you pretend to be a dana and let others despise you, you don't have to spend so much money? It's enough to buy hundreds of guns!"

"That's not for them!" Li Mo lowered his eyebrows and looked at the two girls who were circling around a large pile of clothes.

Small and naturally clever, his surname is extremely weak. Only the young master is the biggest in his heart. What's more, so many beautiful clothes have been submerged in the sea of clothes bought for him by the young master. He also accompanied Li Mo for a few days. Duan Yueer, who was also happy, was not so easy to deal with. Her little nose wrinkled and hummed, "Huh, don't think you bought some. Clothes can fool small clothes. Thanks to her being so good to you, you still... flirt with other people's girls on the street!"

"Hang..., why is there such a good play? It's a pity that I didn't see it!" There was a burst of inhalation in the hall.

Master Li's face has long been impreetrating the main gun of the battleship. Hearing Duan Yueer's words, he didn't even blink his eyelids. He smiled shamelessly and blinked: "I'm also good to you, aren't I? Why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

"You..., apprentice!" Duan Yueer's face turned red in an moment. She didn't even take her clothes. She pulled Xiaoxiao and ran upstairs.

"This sentence again, it's really uneducated!" Li Mo curled his lips and found that there was already silence around him. Then he said angrily, "Are you stupid? What should I do!"

After saying that, he stretched out and went upstairs angrily, leaving a face full of tears and laughter.

When I returned to the room, I found that there were two people sitting respectfully waiting in it. Here we go. Li Mozhi answered and asked people to make a cup of tea before closing the door.

Dong Dahai, Liu Guishan.

They are all one of the earliest members of the Nighthawk. They not only participated in the hard winter training with Li Qiang, hunted the Indian natives, but also got a lot of gold digger' blood in their hands. Especially not long ago, they went back with Duan Fei to participate in the assassination of the horse mallet. After more than ten confrontations, large and small, they were surrounded by tens of thousands of horse bandits. After blocking and chasing, he finally struggled from the line of life and death and became a real night eagle!

Although Duan Fei withdrew because of Li Mo's needs, today's night eagle, with the maturity of their wings have finally hardened a lot, and with the rapid expansion of the escort, another twelve veterans stood out under Li Qiang's high-intensity training and ** and turned into the night eagle. It can be said that as long as one more For a period of time, the twelve people who joined later will gradually mature, and then this team will have the initial combat ability.

So when he came out this time, Li Mo came with the two of them. Compared with ordinary escort soldiers, Nighthawk is obviously more suitable for the current needs.

"Young master!" Seeing that Li Mo closed the door, Dong Dahai and Liu Guishan immediately stood up and saluted.

"How's the check going?" After a salute, Li Mo sat down slowly. He gave a faint look at the two and motioned them to sit down and say.

After the two sat down, Dong Dahai took out a ball of transcription of stationery from his arms and handed it to Li Mo and said first, "We entered the study of the small Japanese book and found these."

Li Mo took the letter paper and checked it carefully.

The letter is in Japanese. I guess Dong Dahai can't understand it, and the copied strokes are very astringent and crooked. Fortunately, Li Mo has learned Japanese in his previous life, so he can barely understand it.

This is a secret letter written by Ono to Inoue, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. When he saw the name Inoue, Li Mo was also surprised. This Inoue Xin was very familiar with him. It was he who contributed to later generations to be known as the Japanese super chaebol, one of the people who took off of Mitsui Group, and this person was also a big man in the Meiji Restoration period. The meritorious minister served as the foreign minister in Ito Hirofumi's cabinet. Unexpectedly, he had entered the era of Kuroda Kiyotaka's cabinet at this moment. He was still an official and was also the main member of the cabinet!

Judging from the content of the letter, Mr. Ono paid great attention to the development of the sugar industry and the pineapple industry in Hawaii, and he was very greedy for the high profits generated. He even directly requested the Imperial Navy to station here when necessary to seize the resources here.

A seemingly simple letter about the investigation of farmers and businessmen made Li Mo's back feel cold. The tentacles of the Americans have reached here. It turned out that I thought that I didn't look here until before World War II. Unexpectedly, at this time, I had begun to plan!

The depth of scheming and distance is simply shocking!

Holding this letter copied by the two people, Li Mo's face suddenly became gloomy, and a wry smile was outlined in the corners of his mouth. He wanted to survive under the service of the great powers. It seemed that it was really not something that ordinary people could do. Even if he, a lucky man with a prophetic super golden finger, took every step. At that time, I couldn't help trembling.

The Americans have occupied it, and I have come. Will there be fewer people with it?

A piece of fat meat! A woman who is extremely beautiful and has taken off her clothes. Since there are so many greedy people, what is the young master waiting for? Why don't you do it now and take it here?

After this sudden idea turned around a few times, Li Mo finally sighed decadetly. Although the escort has taken shape and the new military training method has been implemented is also effective. It can be said that there is no difficulty in the face of hundreds of people, but what happens after that? In the face of enemies who may come from the sea, is it possible to let the soldiers hit the warships with rifles?

In the final analysis, I still lack a trace of maritime power. Although the end of the 19th century was an era of free economic carnival, the great powers were very willing to sell their warship cannons and even shipbuilding technology to a country and a political axe. As long as you can have enough gold and money, they have a common bottom. Line, that is, you will never sell those deadly weapons to a businessman!

My battleship! My cannon! Damn, how on earth can I get it? Master Li almost bit his teeth, but he was still confused. Although he was a senior member of the BB Party in his previous life, although he could buy shipyards and equipment, it was still impossible to build a warship!

After taking a deep breath, Li Mo temporarily suppressed the disturbing thoughts brought by the letter. The bull's head looked at the two night eagle elites in front of him and continued to ask, "What else have you found?"

Seeing that the young master looked at the letter for a long time and did not speak, although Dong Dahai and Liu Guishan did not know what the young master was thinking, the high-intensity training and discipline made them used to keeping silent. At this moment, when they heard Li Mo asking again, they continued to say, "We also found an underground in his warehouse by the sea. There are a lot of explosives and guns in the secret room. Although it is a little old, it can equip at least 500 people!"

"Dynamite?" Li Mo's heart moved, and an idea flashed by. He immediately said, "Go to Chen Ping and ask him to arrange it for me. I want to see the queen!"

"Yes!" The two didn't understand why the young master suddenly wanted to see the Queen of Hawaii, but the order was an order, so after the salute, they quickly walked out of the room to arrange it.

"You asked for it. Who made you so careless? "I'm a devil!" Looking at the backs of the two, Li Mo suddenly smiled at the corners of his mouth.

In Pearl Harbor Bay at night, there is a gentle breeze. Although there is no crowd in front of the lush Palm Beach, there are still many people walking in twos and threes, feeling the coolness brought by the sea breeze.

Gas lamps are suspended high. In this era when electricity has just begun to develop, the status of gas is still irreplaceable.

The beautiful Yollani Palace, under the reflection of the gas lamp, is not as luxurious and majestic as the later lasers, but it also has a taste. Unfortunately, Li Mo was not in the mood to appreciate these at this moment. Under the leadership of the bodyguard, he and Chen Ping hurried into the palace representing the center of power in Hawaii.

"Dear Her Majesty Queen Liluo Callani, please allow me to express my most respect and gratitude to you on behalf of my family. May the Kingdom of Hawaii be more prosperous under your leadership, and may your people be happy forever under the bath of the Queen!"

The soaring body in the past two years, coupled with the experience of this period, has made Li Mo get rid of the unique youth of the teenager. At this moment, he bent down and bowed to say hello. In addition, his fluent English is not like a depressed teenager from the East, but very similar to those who have received higher education. Children of European families who pay attention to traditional etiquette.

"Dear Li, thank you for your blessings. I also hope you and your people can live and work in my kingdom."

With the sound coming from his ear, Li Mo looked up and saw a slightly dark and slightly fat woman slowly walking down the spiral ladder. Although her appearance did not meet his beauty selection criteria, I have to say that the queen, who has been paving for a long time, made people look at it under the elegant and calm package in her bones. It's very comfortable.

While Li Mo looked at the queen, Liluo Kalani was also looking at the teenager who suddenly came to Hawaii and rose rapidly with his clans. Even though she was in the royal palace and lived a simple life, she had heard of this teenager who bought land, expanded the shipyard and spread money for a long time, but obviously, she did not realize Li Mo. He was so young that he almost thought that Chen Ping was the family.

Li Mo waved his hand and motioned Chen Ping to hand over a beautiful rectangular wooden box to the attendant beside him, and then said, "This is a gift brought to you by Li Mo. I hope Her Majesty likes it."

As the servant opened the wooden box, not only Liluokalani's eyes lit up, but also several indigenous attendants next to him held their breath. In the wooden box, there is a scepter similar to the European Middle Ages. Although it is a little shorter, the scepter is all made of gold. At the top of the scepter, the bud-like edge is embedded with glittering diamonds. What's more surprising is that the top of the scepter is actually a huge red gem.

Although Hawaii does not produce gold or diamond jewelry, it does not mean that Liluo Carani does not know the value of these things. Such a precious gift makes her a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Queen Liluo Carani with shining eyes, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. This scepter not only verified the authenticity of the sentence "As long as it is a woman, you can't block the gem**", but also convinced him that he had moved the woman who was still in control of the whole of Hawaii.

It's just that the price is a little high, which also made Li Mo, who bought gifts at that time, couldn't help but feel sad: "Damn, let Li Qiang take someone to South Africa to grab some diamonds next time!" Master Li's thoughts were in a mess, and he was focused on making up for the loss.

Sure enough, after a look of surprise and fanaticism, Queen Liluo Karani finally struggled to withdraw her eyes and said gently, "Dear Li, your gift is too expensive. I don't know what you need me to do for you?"

"The play is coming!" Li Mo was ecstatic, but his face remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, don't mind. It's just a little bit of Li Mo. As for the reward? I have bought enough land and factories to settle my people.

Chen Ping beside him thought that Li Mo would take the opportunity to buy more land or ask for some power or something, but he didn't expect that he actually put on a light and indifferent look and directly rejected the other party. There were still some doubts. But on second thought, he suddenly understood that this was Master Li's presive play. So he quickly cooperated and said, "Dear Your Majesty, this young master specially bought it for you from the far east, so I didn't want to repay you at all!"

Luluo Carani is not a fool. She can take charge of the whole Kingdom of Hawaii, which proves her ability, but she is also very clear about her own affairs. The Americans have been staring at it, so she wants to use Chinese and Japanese to contain each other.

Originally, she planned to give a little real power to this seemingly pleasing young man after Li Mo opened her mouth, and let his people help him stop the infiltration of the Americans, but who would have thought that they didn't want anything, which made him a little embarrassed. Can't you force him to push him to the opposite side of the Americans?

"Are they really here to take refuge?" Liluo Kalani remembered the news asked the attendants during the day. Dai frowned slightly and suddenly asked the attendant next to him.

"Do we still have free land?"

"Dear Queen, we also have several plantations on the big island of Hawaii, and some small plantations on Kahoolawe Island." The attendant hurriedly replied.

"Where is the lovely island?" Liluo Kalani thought for a thought and continued to ask.

The attendants are confused. Cute Island has always been regarded as the birthplace of Hawaii. Although it is small, although it has the fattest plantations, not to mention that the Americans have asked for it many times. The queen has not let go. Unexpectedly, she brought it up at this moment. Is it true?

Although the attendant was very confused, he still said, "Queen, there are only two pieces of lovely island that can be planted, but..."

After finishing her words, Queen Liluokalani had interrupted the attendant and looked at Li Mo and said, "Dear Li, I don't know if there is any honor to manage one of the plantations on my behalf?"

During this period of time, Li Mo has already understood the current situation in Hawaii. Naturally, he knows that Americans covet the two plantations on Cute Island. If the queen gives it to him now, isn't it equivalent to doing it with the Americans?

"It seems that this queen is not simple." Li Mo shook his heart and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to promise your gift, and I think that Cute Island, as the gathering place of the most loyal people in the kingdom, should be under the jurisdiction of the queen herself." Li Mo pretended to be sincere about Hawaii.

"But..." Liluokalani didn't expect Li Mo to refuse. He thought for a while and was about to speak, but Li Mo took the lead in saying, "Your Majesty, if my gift makes you feel uneasy, I have a way."

"Oh?"

In the astonishment of Liluo Kalani, the corners of Li Mo's mouth hooked. He continued: "I believe you already know that I volunteered to own the best shipyard, so I bought the shipyard and bought the nearby land for construction. If you really want to reward me, I hope you can help me persuade Mr. Ono. I hope to buy his land so that I can better develop my shipbuilding industry.

Luluo Kalaney knew that Li Mo had bought a shipyard and ordered machinery to expand the shipyard in several countries. Now listening to what he said, I won't doubt it, but the land has already been sold by himself. How can I get it back?

Seeing the queen's silence, Li Mo smiled and finally took out his killer mace. After handing a piece of paper to the attendant, he said, "Dear Majesty, please forgive me, although you are doing your best to protect your kingdom and protect your people, and I also hope that my people can live and work here, but I am I accidentally found this. There is such a thing behind the land I bought, so I'm very worried about the safety of me and my people. Please deal with it as soon as possible, so that my people can safely develop the shipyard under your notice.

Luluo Carani, who took over the letter paper, was stunned just by a few points. Ten barrels of gunpowder can arm 500 people with guns and ammunition. What do I want to do?

Luluo Kalani, who was stunned by the news brought by Li Mo, looked at the letter paper for a long time before nodding and said, "Dear Li, thank you for reminding me. I will deal with these things well. If I can take back that land, I will definitely hand him over to you for management!"

Li Mo knew that the queen was probably not in the mood to continue talking with him at this moment, so she hurriedly got up, showed eight teeth to Queen Liluo Carani, and smiled, "Dear Your Majesty, then I won't disturb your rest. I hope we will have a chance to meet next time."

"Goodbye." After Li Mo finished speaking, he took Chen Ping to bow deeply again and left the living room.

Li Mo saw that although the reason why this woman named Liluo Karani has been engaged in a balanced policy between countries is that she is very wary of being overthrown, so he believes that the little one must be unlucky.

Sure enough, just two days later, a large number of American businessmen rushed into the plantation in Onojun with the escort of Oahu. With conclusive evidence, the little devil was soon declared the least popular person in Hawaii and was expelled from the Kingdom of Hawaii on the same day, and Queen Liluo Karani was taking it. After returning to the land, he soon handed over the land to Li Mo for management, and also exempted Li Mo from tax for three years.

In this way, in addition to the strategic point on the left side of the channel under the control of the Americans, Li Mo completely took the entire southwestern peninsula of Pearl Harbor into his arms, with a land area of 55 square kilometers, with a private wharf, a shipyard and a steel mill, which can be said to have a great harvest.

However, he couldn't help sighing when he heard that Queen Liluo Kalani gave a plantation on the lovely island to the Americans who had been coveted for a long time in exchange for their support in order to deal with Ono.

This is the end of the weak!

Li Mo took a breath.
