Chapter 52 Deal
Oliver Villa?
A very Westernized name is also full of Western style.
The high wall is full of roses, and the carriage road bypasses the central lawn from the gate to the main door of the villa, and the flower garden that occupies almost half of the villa area, with flowers blooming and unparalleled flowers. Master Li is drooling. Grandma, dares to buy the Hawaii Green Mountain Villa that the young master bought at a high price. Compared with others, it is nothing!
"Simons? Is this your home?" Young Master Li, like a curious baby, followed Simmons who greeted him. He looked left and right, and his saliva was about to flow out.
"no~no! The original owner here was an Englishman. In order to thank the general for helping him recover the confiscated saltpetre, he lent it to the general for temporary use, and I only temporarily replaced the general. The beard shook his head and the corners of his mouth looked complacent.
"Temporary use?! I see." Master Li nodded cleverly, and a middle finger stood up in his trouser pocket. He looked at others. He fought as an agent of foreign devils. He not only became a president, but also got such a big manor.
Dive it! The young master is still too young. Why don't you help the foreign devils fight next time?
But who do you want to help?
"Caning?" Chen Ping on the side didn't have so many strange thoughts. He frowned and didn't understand why the steady Monte gave such a big manor to Simmons. Is there any other relationship between them? He quickly tried and said, "General Simmons, are you and His Excellency the President?"
"Uncle, General Monte is my uncle." Bearded Simmons is straightforward. It's no big deal to talk about his relationship with Monte at this time.
"This guy is hidden deep enough! It's so despicable!" The young master wants to pull out his beard.
He raised the middle finger in his trouser pocket again, and Li Mo smiled Gerociously and said, "Beard, you damn guy, why didn't you say it earlier!" Simmons was very proud to make Master Li angry and laughed: "Dear Li, is it too late now?"
Late, of course it's late. If I had known that you were Monte's nephew, the young master directly kidnapped the ticket and took you to find Monte. It took so much effort! Young Master Li walked beside him, contemptuously with this beard, and extremely despised this guy who could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger than the young master. It seemed that he was the first person to be inserted into the navy and was ready to take his seat.
However, this guy also said a lot of good things for himself, and he also thought of interfering in the Chilean civil war and obtaining warships through him, so Master Li quickly forgave him in his heart. Besides, if Simmons really becomes the head of the Chilean navy in the future, it will also be a great help to him!
If a few months ago, I could be invited to be with the one who is loyal to his duty, and his life is even more like a Puritan. "I never drink coffee with sugar, just because sugar is a strategic resource." General Monte, who has a strong personal charm, will have dinner with him. Master Li, a multi-turretist who is obsessed with battleships, will definitely try his best. Almost, flattering, asking for the signature of the Chilean admiral, but after experiencing the Chilean civil war and witnessing this process, the aura of the Chilean admiral has faded.
Looking at the man sitting opposite, gently stirring coffee with a silver spoon, and still wearing a navy uniform, Li Mo always has an indescribable feeling. Maybe he is used to the idea that the later army does not interfere in politics. For this figure who relies on the navy, borrows foreign businessmen, and betrays the national interests to launch a coup to reach the peak of his life, he always There is such a trace of disdain.
Maybe the repeated military coups in Chile in later generations are customary here?
As if to feel Li Mo's eyes, Monte stopped his coffee hand, put the spoon on the cup and plate, and smiled, "Mr. Li, are you still satisfied with the agreement between us?"
"Satisfied, it's just a little expensive." Master Li nodded in a crisp and elegant tone: "Thank you for everything the general has done for me and my country. I hope you can go to my country one day. I believe that the emperor of our country will be very willing to see you."
In my heart! Go ahead. When you see the Buddha, say hello for me.
"Thank you. In fact, I really want to see what kind of magical land it is, which can give birth to a young wizard like you." Li Mo's straightforwardness makes Monte very useful.
Of course, he will not go to the Far East at this moment. Even if he is willing, the current complex situation in Chile cannot give him time to breathe, but he is also very curious about Li Mo. This teenager who suddenly came to himself and brought 2,000 elite soldiers, and also sprinkled a lot of money in Chile, bought warships, rented islands, and bought mines. It seemed that he had endless money in his pocket. What kind of huge power stood behind him?
If the soldiers under his command hadn't been very self-disciplined at this moment and cooperated with the navy to stay at the dock of Antoineface, I'm afraid that he and the members of Congress would have been sleepless at night.
At the thought of those soldiers, Monte felt hot all over. As a soldier, there was nothing more interesting to him than to find a new way of military combat. Although he could not see it with his own eyes, he could still outline such a picture in his mind bit by bit.
Young troops, young soldiers, strange but extremely efficient individual movements, new tactics and new equipment.
Compared with grassroots officers who have seen the escort, Monte is more calm. In terms of individual strength, he does not think that Li Mo is stronger than his own Marines, but this teenager has obviously mastered a new training method that can help soldiers better adapt to the war, if their skills are familiar. Practice more and cooperate more tacitly.
Thinking of this, Monte is in a trance. Chile is not without external troubles. Peru and Bolivia are still staring at saltpeter, and there are competitors such as Argentina behind it. If it is not the navy, I'm afraid that their army has entered Chile.
"It will always be the army that solves the war!" Thinking of the teenager in front of him, Monte felt that his big navy dream seemed to have been smashed by something. It was ridiculous that he had lived for so many years, but he needed the reminder of the black-haired teenager to see the essence of the war.
"Maybe I should do something by myself." Thinking of this, Monte leaned forward slightly: "Mr. Li, I heard that you have trained your soldiers yourself. They are very brave. Can you let them have an exercise with our Marines?"
"Hypocrisy, if you like the young master's new training outline, just say it directly. It's not negotiable." Master Li deliberately frowned: "It turned out to be okay, but something has happened in our country recently, and they need to return to China immediately."
Seeing a trace of disappointment flashed on Monte's face, Master Li continued to talk nonsense: "But I heard that the sea situation is not good recently. Maybe I can stay for a few more days. Besides, I hope the general can buy warships for me."
To be honest, this Far East young master is really straightforward!
Monte scolded in his heart. Thinking of the purchase list that Simmons had conveyed to him not long ago, his eyes changed!
Two battleships and four large cruisers!
If it hadn't been for the three prerequisites brought with the plan, Monte might have thrown Li Mo into the sea first.
Besides, even if you agree, do you have so much money? The six warships add up to nearly four million pounds, and even the Chilean political axe is a headache to take it out at once, not to mention a young master from the Far East.
"I have read the plan. With all due respect, I can't guarantee that the British will agree to this procurement plan, and I have asked some of my fellows in the Admiralty. According to your plan, six such warships will need a huge amount of funds."
"Money is not a problem." Master Li was too lazy to go around the bush and waved his hand: "As long as I can buy a warship, I can pay some price."
"Help me train 3,000 soldiers." Monte said the price without hesitation: "In addition, I need a promise that you will not intervene in our internal affairs in any way for three years."
Under the table, Master Li's toes touched Chen Ping slightly. It seemed that Monte had heard the rumors he had released, otherwise there would not have been the last sentence.
"Deal."
