Being a soldier requires practicing courage, and these Japanese death row prisoners are the best candidates for courage training. Xiao Letian's continuous sitting method allowed him to dig out more than 600 thugs who had killed others, and these death row prisoners were enough to train more than a thousand new troops.

The young face was flushed with blood. Prisoners waiting in line to die and recruits taking turns changing knives gathered on the pier. The God of Death sang an elegy in mid-air, and countless innocent souls were drifting in the waves.

"Silly boys, today I want you to see the blood province and pee your pants on the battlefield. If anyone dares not to do anything, please quickly take off your clothes and leave..."

"From today on, starting from this knife, you will forget your identity as a common people. You must remember that you are a soldier... The prime minister is watching from above. Who wants to make me diarrhea? Even if you go home, I will I want to beat you up..."

"Damn it, why are your hands shaking! Just look at the neck and treat it like killing an animal... No no, I should say it's like killing an animal!"

In the queue of soldiers, the squad leader, platoon leader and company commander were all encouraging the selected recruits. The remaining veterans who had participated in the battle were smiling and staring at the recruits' balls and other jokes. Whenever something went wrong during beheading, the veterans would They all burst into laughter. Please come to more and faster chapters.

"Look, look, look, this guy is chopping meat... Hahaha, the blade is curled up, but he didn't kill anyone..."

"Hey, that raw melon egg doesn't even dare to open its eyes... Haha, it's even chopped off its butt..."

"Don't be embarrassed, you brat. Your legs are wobbly... go home and feed yourself!"

This is how it is in the army. People only recognize good men. In the eyes of veterans, they only see whether you have the talent or not. Update immediately. This army has a strong imprint of Xiao Letian. Xiao Letian's frantic leading charge in that night of blood and fire has long been imprinted in the hearts of the brothers. Even Mr. Xiao has rushed to the front line. Who among his subordinates is reluctant to take this life?

Xiao Letian's new army is definitely not short of heroes. The creed instilled in all officers from the beginning is that I will be the first to go. What matters in words and deeds is that the officers do it first. When charging on the battlefield, the officers are always the first to jump out. On the training field, only what the officers can do can be asked of the soldiers.

This is a magical company that is very different from all armies in East Asia. It can give soldiers an unprecedented sense of belonging. No one here is brought here by a prostitute, and no one is just hanging out for food and salary. The literacy rate here actually reaches 100%.

Veterans can laugh at recruits for being incompetent, but no one will bully recruits, let alone use corporal punishment. Once there is a conflict between veterans and recruits, the veterans will only laugh and say, "queue drills, cross-country mountain climbing, musket shooting, close combat... you can pick whatever you want. As long as you can beat us, you will be the boss. If you can't win, just be obedient." .”

Xiao Letian likes this kind of military atmosphere very much. This is also the military spirit he has carefully cultivated. He dares to fight without being violent, and observes etiquette without losing blood.

Sure enough, under the stimulation of the veterans, the new recruits who were testing the sword became excited. "You're so awesome, didn't you just kill the Japanese one night longer than me? I didn't meet the prime minister that night, or else I'm also a veteran..."

"Kill, kill. Now you're laughing at me. When you followed the Prime Minister into battle, you peed your pants a few times. Now you're still laughing at me? Damn..."

In the bickering between the two groups of people, the recruits gradually stabilized their position, and the subsequent knife tests began to become more formal. Those mincing minced meat became less and less. As expected, the art of killing requires practice.

Xiao Letian only watched the execution on the dock for a while. He had more important work. His old friend Lewis, an American pastor, had arrived by boat from Tanggu and brought the latest intelligence.

"God bless these poor souls, Amen!" Standing on the winding mountain road, Lewis looked at the execution ground like Shura hell in the distance and kept praying for the dead.

"Dear Lewis, these are thugs who kill civilians indiscriminately. Do you pray for them? They deserve what they deserve."

"No, no, dear Xiao, they are just lost lambs. They have not maintained their humanity in front of them. Although they deserve their sins, God still loves them! As long as they repent of their sins, God will not abandon them..."

Xiao Letian almost made Lewis angry. He said to himself that when you were killing bandits in the Taihang Mountains, I had never seen you so merciful. With your left and right guns, you are like a god of murder. Now you are pretending to be a cultural person? cut……

"Okay, let's not talk about these lost lambs. First, tell me what good news you have for me?" Xiao Letian didn't go back to Yingzhijiu. He sat on a rock and rubbed his hands and asked excitedly.

"Oh Xiao, don't you Chinese have a proverb: 'Don't look too ugly when you eat.' Look at how greedy you are now. If your subordinates and people see it, they will laugh at you..."

"Put it down. When I sent you to the courtyard in Beijing City, you smiled more obscenely than me. Come on, come on, tell me the good news..."

Lewis had nothing to do with Xiao Letian. Now they were not only close friends in private, but also because Xiao Letian gave Lewis 10% of the shares of Letian Bank, which gave them a very close connection of interests.

Lewis was very familiar with ocean trade, and he knew how powerful Lotte Matheson, which dominated the Tanggu business district, was in mobilizing wealth. This component was an original stock, a property donated to the church by Xiao Letian. Lewis was sometimes surprised. He couldn't understand how Xiao Letian could be so smart and even thought of bribing God. Please come to more and faster chapters.

'Oh, God, please forgive me, forgive my slip of the tongue.' But repentance is repentance. The 10% of the shares Xiao Letian donated to him was not actually given to Lewis, but donated to the American church. Lewis was just a trustee.

When the local church in the United States heard that there was an enlightened gentleman in the Qing Dynasty who donated a large amount of property to the church, including land and shares, and that this gentleman was also a scholar proficient in Western learning, the American church suddenly became excited. Some even said Lewis was the most contributing priest to the American church over the past century, and there were endless praises for him and Xiao Letian.

The ancient Eastern Empire, a magical continent with thousands of years of history, the European pope did not hesitate to encourage the great powers to go to war with the Qing Dynasty in order to preach. British and French missionaries have spent hundreds of years working hard, but no one has achieved as much credit as Lewis. This incident really brings face to the American church.

Reputation, this is to gain reputation. With the American church desperately promoting to the public, I believe that it will not be long before Xiao Letian will become the most prestigious Chinese in the hearts of the American people, not even comparable to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Every church and pastor located in bustling cities and quiet villages will use Xiao Letian's positive example from time to time to encourage people to love God. If things go on like this, Xiao Letian will be symbolized, and gradually he will become the number one Chinese and will be loved by countless American people.

This is an intangible wealth. If all American voters think that Xiao Letian is a good person, then from now on any American government, including the president, must be polite to Xiao Letian. Who will oppose the votes? .

"Dear Xiao, why does God prefer you so much and give you such a smart mind? I am really envious, so envious..."

Xiao Letian rolled his eyes and said to me, this is the attribute bonus of the traveler's halo, you don't understand. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as long as you cooperate with me with peace of mind, the benefits will be yours.

Lewis looked at Xiao Letian's stinking look and decided that he could no longer let him be so proud and had to suppress it a little. "Oh, dear Xiao, the church I am planning to build in Beijing still has a big funding gap. I hope my old friend can help me..."

"What? Still short of money... You are too greedy. Shopkeeper Fan told me in a letter that you have taken more than 50,000 taels of silver from foreign banks. Now you want more? God will punish you. "..." Xiao Letian said with wide eyes. Please come to more and faster chapters.

"No, no, no, God will be grateful to me. Because of my greed, more parishioners have benefited, and you can also get the favor of the Lord. I am doing good deeds. Don't you have a saying? "Good money" It’s hard to let go, it’s hard to let go of good wealth. You have to learn to let go, and what you get will always be much more than what you give up..."

The two people's heads were almost touching, and they were bargaining like two smugglers raking in cultural relics. They were all muttering in English, and no one around them could understand them. After discussing for half an hour, Lewis finally received another donation from Xiao Letian, 50,000 eagle coins, to build his church in Beijing.

Xiao Letian, who was bleeding and distressed, finally got the good news. Because Xiao Letian solved the identity issue and with the joint efforts of many parties, the American Minister Hua Ruohan finally relented. Although he did not come up with a written agreement, the oral agreement finally came to an end. It was achieved.

Three second-hand large clipper ships, a set of the latest model coin machines, and arms procurement authority are open. In addition to warship sales that need to be negotiated separately, other army weapons such as muskets and artillery can be sold openly.

As for the silver trade that Xiao Letian wanted most, the United States initially gave the nod. Letian Banking is the only Asian commercial bank in North America that can engage in physical silver trading. Rakuten & Co. is allowed to exchange goods or gold for silver, but the proportion of gold transactions must reach 10%.

Xiao Letian knew what the Americans were planning. At this time, Europe and North America still believed in gold supremacy. The pound and the U.S. dollar were directly locked to the same value as gold. The treasury of each country regarded gold as the first precious metal to store. People don't pay much attention to the auxiliary currency of silver, so Xiao Letian's purchase plan can succeed.

"Hmm... To be honest, one-tenth of the gold trading volume puts a lot of pressure on me. Can you send a message to the US government? Can you reduce this ratio by half? If you can agree, I can let you All orders from Tanggu Industrial Zone use American standards..."

hiss! Lewis took a breath, "Oh my God, can you really control the government procurement of the Qing Dynasty? You surprised me so much. I can pass this news to you, but I don't think I will be needed for a while." Already..."

"It has been a month and a half since the riots. Now Washington already knows the details and your conditions. I estimate that Mr. President's special envoy is about to arrive in the Pacific. You can rest assured and wait for another month."
