C143 The Attitude of True Dragons
When humans were able to practice Ocean trade, the development of nautical arts became the first Technology in every country. Western Powers invested a lot of manpower and materials into researching the new Merchant ships and naval vessel. Running faster, pretending more, and being safer are the ultimate pursuits of all navigators and Liu steelmakers.
And the peak work of the Wind Sail Merchant ships, was the famous scissor boat in the history of navigation. This kind of sailboat that was purely designed for the pursuit of speed had already completely broken free from the restraints of the Wind Belt. It would only take 20 days at the fastest time to cross Pacific Ocean, and more than a month at the slowest.
After the war ended, Xiao Letian entrusted the foreign Merchant ships to look for United States Minister on one side while Mike on the other side. Carnegie returned to the North America and used his connections as a Family to talk to President Lincoln.
Xiao Letian was very confident. For statesman, who was obsessed with moral cleanliness, his promises must be kept. Xiao Letian would never believe that Lin Ken would go back on his word. Moreover, Xiao Letian still had two cards in his hand. One was the enticement of the Industrial Zones's contract, and the other was the increasingly close relationship with the USA Church.
What do you want, Lin Ken? Whether it's the USA's benefits or the lofty morals, as long as you speak of it, I, Xiao Letian, will give it all to you.
Do you owe me a life? Did the USA need a lot of overseas orders after the war? Have you received kind reminders from the USA Church recently?
I gave you your personal favor, moral, and even benefits. If that's the case, then Lin Ken won't agree to Xiao Letian's conditions? Alright, Xiao Letian doesn't mind jumping into the sea to travel back to his home. Furthermore, before leaving, he had to scold the world for being too abnormal.
What Liu Yisi said was not wrong. Right now, on the west coast of USA, there was already a scissor boat that carried His Excellency The President's secret envoy with full authority, as well as Mike who was authorized by the Family. Carnegie. On the blue Pacific Ocean, two excited Americans were calculating the date non-stop. According to their current speed, everyone would be able to see the coastline of glume in fifteen days.
"Mike, tell me more about that legendary Western philosopher, Shaw. How magical is he?" The one who asked was a young man named Ma Xiu. He was a young man whom His Excellency The President trusted very much. He was the representative in power in this meeting.
"Oh!" Ma Xiu, are you still looking at the drawings of Photos s? "I found out that you're really interested in Xiao Letian. All along the way, you only talked about him …"
It was not only along the way, but actually on the North America, the two young people had been talking about Xiao Letian's fight with that tyrant. Speaking of beauty, Mike even brought out his collection of photographs and later sketches based on memories.
In 1865, the black and white photographic Technology was already very mature. Many Captain in the Port of Na Ba had private cameras, and they used this miraculous Technology to keep Ba Ba's whole process of rioting tonight, becoming the most precious historical data.
Not only that, but amateur art buff Mike, on the voyage back, with pencil sketch the memory of the Hegemonical War. With the Photos and the assistance of the drawing, Ma Xiu could easily remember that brutal battle.
Japanese Rangers, who slaughtered Civilians in a frenzy, and Chinese and Indigenous, who were struggling to escape, had proven Japanese's brutality through the fire and blood. Right after that, a Banner appeared out of nowhere, and countless angry faces could be seen beneath the flag. A young and handsome man holding a Colt handgun was shouting loudly as he battled.
He could even smell the pungent smell of blood from the thick smoke. When the huge explosion of wharf engulfed the young hero, Ma Xiu could feel his heart tighten.
It had to be said that Americans had a heroic complex in his bones, and Xiao Letian's experience was a complete mess.
"Mike, I asked President about it before we left. After we sign this agreement, I want to go with you to that mysterious ancient Empire. I might have to stay there for a period of time … "Because I've applied for the position of a military official in China. Although I haven't received President's approval, President allowed me to temporarily replace him for a period of time …"
"Oh my god, this is really great, I want to explore the China market for the Family, we can live together … Oh yeah, Xiao Letian owes me a huge favor, we can eat, drink and play with him in China … "
In the darkness of the night, the scissor boat split the waves, and the two young USA men on the bow had already started to study how to kill Xiao Letian. At this time, Xiao Letian had sneezed a few times in his sleep, and he was mumbling in his sleep.
At the same time, in the north of Naga Harbor, in the Deer Island, Hua Shanliyuan who was dressed in a pure white uniform was kneeling in front of Master of the Island and Dao Jinzhongyi, clutching onto a costal deviation.
I have lost the glory of Shimadzu for two hundred years, and I am no longer able to live by myself. "Sob, sob, sob …"
Dao Jinzhongyi and his father, Dao Jinjiuguang, didn't agree to his request for a caesarean section. Instead, they turned to Ban Benlongma and said, "Sakaka, I'm really sorry. I've troubled you and injured you. I'm very sorry!" After saying this, the two bowed their heads and greeted Dracunculide.
"adults, don't say it like that. Dragon Horse is extremely ashamed. I did not bring any benefits to the Shimadzu during that tyrant's trip, and instead lost a lot of benefits. This is already a crime …"
"No, no, no. We've lost some benefits in name, but aren't we getting something from that?" What did the Shimadzu rely on to be able to stand for four hundred years in the Nine Prefectures? Wasn't he relying on the courage to open his eyes and look at the world? Although we lost a lot of people, but we met an amazing person, I think it was worth it! " Dao Jinjiuguang said calmly.
Dao Jinzhongyi also nodded in agreement, "The trend in the world is instigated by the talented. So what if thousands of commoners die or Soldiers dies? Didn't we already establish a connection with Xiao Letian? A bad start might not only have a bad ending, but it might also be the best opportunity for us Shimadzu to learn from him! "
Ban Benlongma's heart was in turmoil. As expected of the hidden master of the island. To be able to see hope from failure, such a flexible mentality was too frightening. Thinking of this, Ban Benlongma bowed his head and said, "Since adults is so enlightened, then I will be bold and offer a scheme!"
The two leaders of the Shimadzu, upon hearing what the Dragon Horse had said, quickly straightened their clothes and respectfully bowed their heads to ask for guidance. Even Hua Shanliyuan had forgotten about the castration and bowed his head to pay his respects.
"Yes, the reason why Japan can survive is because they are not discouraged after failure, and because they do not stop their studies. We need to learn Tang, Song and Ming, and now we need to learn Western Powers. And today, a contemporary Master of Western Studies in front of us, and with his knowledge defeated us, do we still have resentment for revenge? Isn't this the right direction to guide us? "
Hearing Dracunculide's scolding, the three heads on the scene lowered their heads even more. "Ha!" We don't dare to have the slightest bit of resentment, we are only willing to learn from scholar Xiao Xu.
Ban Benlongma nodded. First of all, we have to admit that as long as Xiao Letian doesn't die in glume, we won't be able to take it back. Of course, this isn't important anymore. From today onwards, Shimadzu will face this Grandmaster from Mainland with the most open heart. We need to be mentally prepared to part with him. "
"Didn't Xiao Letian want to create a foreign legion? Send our Shimadzu's most outstanding samurai over to let them learn as wild warrior. I heard that Xiao Letian has already been educated in his Forces nouvelles, and even Xiao Letian has gone to lecture occasionally. This is a huge opportunity! "
"In addition, Xiao Letian invested in ten Schools s, if he wants to engage in 'free education', the students can enter the school without having to pay tuition, and two of the Schools s are even military academy s, so how can we not seize this opportunity and send the smartest children to the tyrant, allowing them to receive Western-style education. This is the foundation of our future career!"
Third, let us Shimadzu Trader and others prepare well, encourage them to go there and use all means to integrate into Xiao Letian's work. I can foresee that Yue Ba will very soon introduce a western style factory, and it is very likely that glume will become the first Country to carry on its initial industrialization!
Speaking to here, Ban Benlongma punched the tatami, and said excitedly, "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, we must give up our narrow-minded hatred. And you, Hua Shanliyuan, you have the courage to cut the abdomen, but not to start from the beginning to learn western courage. What was courage? He who knows shame will be brave! Turn grief and indignation into power, and let your achievements wash away your sins. This is the right path … "
Ban Benlongma's passionate speech moved everyone present. Hua Shanliyuan's eyes were filled with tears as he knelt on the tatami, not daring to raise his head, while Shimadzu's Liu Tie was also infected by the Dragon Horse, his heart seemed to be set ablaze.
"Yessie, is it industrialization? The ultimate secret in Western Powers's hands? Can we even touch the kind of power that can even make ghosts and gods retreat? "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh …"
It had to be said that Japanese Nation was a memorable Ethnic Group, and worshipping the strong was Ethnic Group's genetic code. It was impossible to cut them off. This time, Xiao Letian really convinced them, and when he did, their attitude immediately went through a 180 degree change.
"Dracunculide, I have a question, will Xiao Letian accept us? You must know that your plan cannot be deceived by him, will this Dongfang New Philosophy accept the talent of the Shimadzu? "
Long Ma nodded his head affirmatively, "Yes, I am very sure that since he was able to form the foreign legion with Japanese samurai as his leader after the war, he already has a heart that can swallow mountains and rivers. On the battlefield, he's as merciless as an Asura from hell, but when Enemy completely fails, he can show mercy like Bodhisattva … "
"He is not like Qing nationality. The winner does not slaughter the city, nor does he have any humiliating punishment. He is good at competing for the hearts of the losers, and is even better at capturing the souls of his followers. I even have a strange feeling, I feel like a king assembly was born in his hands, and I'm even tormented by this thought to the point where my entire body trembles, and I don't sleep for the entire night … "
Ban Benlongma subconsciously looked towards the southern direction and couldn't help but to say, "I keep faintly feel that there's something on this man …" With Emperor's ability... Yes, he's neither the leader nor the king, he's really just like a real dragon! "
Hearing the faint words of the Dragon Horse, a gust of cold wind blew past the Heaven's Tower, causing the few Japanese to shiver.
"Mm …" Baby s, come and give grandpa a smile … tiger chick … Fu Hui … Come, come, come, come … Master is home … "Fly, I want to fly too …" In his dreams, Xiao Letian smacked his lips. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a dog with any true dragon appearance.
