Chapter 76 Cuba is starting to make trouble

Li Enfu, who volunteered to go to Cuba, did not disappoint. He gave up his plan to go directly to Cuba to find a rebel target. Instead, he took a detour to Costa Rica and found Marseille, who emerged in the last Cuban crisis.

When a thousand rifles and hundreds of thousands of dollars of aid were sent to the hands of the already impoverished and panicked Marsai rebels in the Costa Rican jungle, they completely exploded.

Marseille is not a fool. He knew that the pie would not fall in the sky for no reason. At the beginning, he kept testing. Fortunately, Li Enfu was cunning and deliberately confused the purpose of the aid, saying that the aid was not free, and it needed to be exchanged with tobacco plantations and processing factories.

In the end, Marseille was assisted, and Master Li got three huge plantations connected together. The Nighthawks also took out some training methods. In just half a year, they helped Marseille train a force that could take out. Under the constant insinuations of Li Enfu, Maceio decided to take his troops back to Cuba, return to the long-dream home, and fight against the colonists!

In March 1892, a plantation worker was killed by a British manor owner in Cuba, resulting in the death of three Cubans and two black people. This very common incident in Cuba was transformed by the sudden return of the Cuban hero Macaio, who had been hiding in Costa Rica and waiting for a comeback. Elbow armpit.

In just one month, dozens of colonists' plantations and their sugar factories were burned, and their bodies were thrown into the sea! Tens of thousands of young Cubans took to the streets to declare a strike at the call of Maaio, demanding that all the colonists leave immediately.

In an hour, Cuba, which had calmed down for several years, once again became the focus of the world. A large number of European plantations and factory owners had to drag their families and hide in Havana in shock, seeking protection from the Spanish political axe.

The sudden riot caught the Spanish colonial authorities off guard. As the situation deteriorated day by day, the Spanish political axe made the decision to increase 20,000 troops to suppress the riots, but they did not expect that the first 1,000 soldiers who had just arrived in Havana had no time to take a look at this place known as the pearl of the Caribbean. It suddenly appeared, and the obviously strictly trained Cuban armed army drove them down to the sea and fed the sharks.

As the help letters of the manor owners and investors flew in front of the political axes of various countries, for a while, the whole Europe was burned by the hurricane from the Caribbean. In particular, the Cuban armed forces chose to burn sugar factories on a large scale. After the plantation, the price of sugar and tobacco in Europe doubled several times in a few days. The national ax can no longer sit still, constantly putting pressure on Spain to come up with quick measures to solve the current crisis. On the other hand, after consultation, Britain and France, two countries with great interests in Cuba, made a decision to send a huge fleet of three battleships and three cruisers, including Junquan-class battleships, which have only been in service for one year, to Cuba to protect the expatriates.

When the huge King's Power-class battleship entered the sea off the coast of Cuba, the Americans who had always regarded Cuba as their own door finally couldn't sit still. They, who were still waiting to make a profit, finally realized their weakness in front of these old empires under the huge shadow of the King's Power-class battleships.

Jose, another Cuban hero who supported them overnight. After Marty and a hundred-man armed force he led were sent back to Cuba, they also sent three ironclads, including the Maine, which had been launched for two years, to Cuba in the name of protecting the expatriates.

However, in the face of the huge hull of the King's Power class up to 15,000 tons, the Americans finally came out of the illusion of surpassing the British Empire. In less than a year after the laying of the USS Indiana's keel, they once again announced the construction of four more armored battleships.

Although the United States is eager to catch up with Britain, they have insufficient reserves in shipbuilding technology. After the announcement of the new warship plan, they have to take out the drawings of the Indiana class, enlarge it to 12,000 tons, and then change the name to the Iowa class.

When the Iowa-class data armed to the teeth was released, the whole of Europe was shocked. This is the first-class battleship designed by the Americans with real ocean-going combat capability, with a full load displacement of up to 12,600 tons, with two double 35x caliber 305mm main guns and four double 203mm ports. The terrible guy of the second-level main gun.

With the United States, which was ridiculed as an upstart by Europe, the construction plan of four new ironclad battleships began, and even the Cuban riots were a little pale. The British Empire first reacted and announced the termination of the construction plan of the remaining four King Power-class battleships instead of building a new type of battleship, the majestic class.

When the final data of the majesty level was exposed, the whole world was stunned. The standard displacement was 14,900 tons, and the full load reached 16,000 tons. While using 203mm Harvey steel armor plate and two double-loaded new 305mm main guns, it is also equipped with 12 152mm secondary guns and 1 Six 76mm rapid-fire guns.

The emergence of the majesty class completely detonated Europe, so countries started a new warship plan. France took out the Jaureguiberry class, and Germany took out Caesar after accelerating the construction of the Brandenburg-class battleship. Frederick III-class battleship.

The wheel of history was finally changed again under the instigation of Li Enfu, a great man. A small Cuban crisis not only reduced the number of British Empire's King's battleships by four, but also turned the Iowa, which had only one in history, into the Iowa class, and the British finally took out the majesty one year earlier. This blockbuster.

With the arrival of the British fleet, it also means that the United States has lost the opportunity to intervene in the Cuban crisis. In the face of the turbulent both sides of the Atlantic, even if Roosevelt becomes president immediately, he will not be unable to turn his eyes back to the Pacific Ocean for the time being!

"That guy is so beautiful! It's so shameless!" Li Mo praised fiercely.

As Li Enfu said in the office, as long as the war is brought to farmers and merchants outside Spain, the European nobles will certainly not stop. Sure enough, under the circumstances of Spain's sudden inability to control the situation, it not only attracted the British and French fleet, but also stirred up a new round of shipbuilding competition.

Several national fleets and Spanish troops kept coming. Cuba, which originally thought there would be a big war, quickly calmed down as Maaio announced its temporary retreat. And at this time, Jose. Marty also returned to Cuba. The Spanish colonial axe, who thought that he also planned the riot, immediately turned his eyes to him. As soon as the army came back, he was strangled by Spanish soldiers.

As a last resort, in order to retain the last means of intervention, the United States could only mediate and guarantee that martie would not interfere in Cuban affairs again before Marty was brought back to the United States to continue to hide.

"Young master, what are you laughing at?" Seeing Li Mo eating and laughing at Li Enfu's letter, he couldn't help but come over curiously. Although Xiaoxiao is not an outsider, Li Mo did not intend to tell her about this kind of thing, not to keep it secret, but not to want them to lose their most precious smiles because of themselves.

So Master Li quickly kissed Xiaoxiao's face, put away the letter and said with a smile, "I'm calculating how much money I made by selling sugar this time!"

"Ah." After being pecked by a sneak attack on her face, Xiao Xiao hurried back to Duan Yueer'er's side, and she was so ashamed that she almost stuffed her head into the rice bowl!

"The pervert!" Duan Yueer immediately threw a bundle of cabbage and stared at it fiercely.

"I finally know how to change a "civilized word"!" Li Mo danced, thinking that it was just a white spinach. After taking the initiative, he smiled and said, "The young master likes it..." After dragging a long tone, he squeezed Duan Yueer's eyes: "You."

"Deng Tuzi!" Duan Yueer was so excited that she almost knocked the rice bowl in her hand on Master Li's face and said disdainfully, "Isn't it just to make a little money? It's really a villain who is so proud of himself!"

"Little money!" Tang Xiao, who came to Hawaii for the first time with Master Li, suddenly sweated on her forehead. She looked at Miss Duan with delicate eyes, and her heart trembled. It's worthy of the rouge horse ordered by the young master!"

Du Dazhuang also burps, as if he was choked by rice. He shivered in his heart: "This aunt really dares to open her mouth. What if it's a small amount of money? So what is a lot of money? You should know that after the young master suddenly asked Lin Yongxiang to hoard white sugar and ship it to Europe and give it to Chen Ping for storage, everyone was still worried! That's a business of millions of pounds, which almost covered up the remaining inventory in Hawaii last year. With such a large investment, if something goes wrong, it will be all!

But when the spring flowers bloomed and returned to Hawaii, I found that there was a riot in Cuba. A large number of sugar factories and sugar cane gardens were burned, and the price of white sugar doubled several times overnight! Only then did everyone realize that the young master made a lot of money this time!

Especially Lin Yongxiang, who was first-handed, almost wanted to kneel down to learn from his teacher after seeing the young master returning to Hawaii! Damn, in just one month, the price of sugar has soared several times, which not only earned all the money from buying land in Hawaii, but also rebuilt two or three more large shipyards.

The reincarnation of God! This is the only idea of all those involved after this sugar speculation!

In the face of huge profits, Li Mo curled his lips. Judging from the fact that Hawaii now accounts for 60% of the world's total white sugar transactions, his speculation this time is just a fur, and the big profits have been taken away by the sugar industry trust led by the Americans. It is tens of millions of pounds, and he is greedy.

But forget it. Who let the young master and the Americans reach an agreement and not enter the sugar market for the time being! Wait, there is a time when they suffer...!" Li Moyin smiled.

After the family banquet, Tang Xiao and the young master came to this study together. It was his first time to come to Hawaii. He stayed in a cold place for three years. It was the first time to see such a tropical island country, and anyone would feel dizzy! What's more, the coconut here is really bigger than the head, the sugar is more than salt, the fish is scary, and the indigenous women are so enthusiastic that people almost forget where they are!

"But the problem is that Mrs. Tang is there!" So this guy, with a panda's eye when he walked into the study, was so happy that Li Mo almost forgot the business.

Tang Xiao, who had been stared at by the young master for a long time, finally couldn't hold back. If it hadn't been for Li Mo in front of him, he would have picked up the brick and smashed it.

"Young master! Young master!" Tang Xiao shouted twice and said angrily, "I don't know what the young master is looking for me!"

"Ah? It's okay, I just want to see what panda eyes are!"

The black line suddenly appeared on Tang Xiao's forehead. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it's okay, I'll go first." No, wait! There's something going on." Li Mo hurriedly grabbed Tang Xiao and took another look.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xiao was suspicious.

"Yes." Li nodded by default: "I want you to take over all the factories here, including the shipyard!"

"Ah!" Tang Xiao didn't care about being stared at by the young master. His mouth was so open that he could be stuffed into his fist. He looked at Li Mo in astonishment to see if he was joking or not!

"All factories including shipyards? What does this mean? You should know that machinery and equipment alone are worth millions of pounds, and there are thousands of workers. I heard that it will increase to 20,000 in the future! This is the most popular errand, but also the most difficult errand!"

He knew his own affairs. Tang Xiao didn't think he could take over such a large industry, so he shook his head in fear.

In fact, Li Mo can't help it, because there are too few people available at present, let alone good management talents. What's more, Roosevelt is still staring at himself. It's not good to expose Thomas's dark chess too early.

Although Tang Xiao is not the best candidate, this guy was with a foreign engineer for a long time when he was in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. He learned a little management and his English was also good! There is no problem in communicating with foreigners, not to mention that he is not allowed to do design, but responsible for coordination and management. Although he is not the best candidate, he is better than young, less than 40 years old, and has a lot of time to exercise.

After seeing Tang Xiao shaking his head, Li Mo said his thoughts and told Tang Xiao that he had helped him sign up for study management at Punaho College in Hawaii. In addition, the factory is also relatively light at present, so he can learn while doing internship.

Hearing this, Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and agreed.

After sending Tang Xiao away, Li Mo was ready to quietly touch the little girl's room to be a thief. Unexpectedly, before he pushed the door, someone behind him suddenly shouted, "Young master!"

"say! It's Du Dazhuang's guy. He's really eyeless!" Master Li was shocked, and his mind to steal the apple was gone. He turned his head and said, "What's the matter!"

"Young master, Fubo asked me to tell you that the man named Tesla asked for more funds!"

"Increase again!" Li Mo gritted his teeth.
