Xiao Letian and Zai Chun showed off their deep affection as master and apprentice, but behind them, in the command cabin of the Zhiyuan, a group of young officers were gnashing their teeth.
Jin Sanshun glared at Zai Chun's back and his eyes almost burst into flames. He muttered, "Two hundred thousand pounds. A full two hundred thousand pounds was given to this little white-eyed wolf? What did the head of state think? What did he think?" ?”
Lin Zhen held a cigarette in his mouth and said casually, "What else can you think of? It's just acting. I don't want our 'Your Majesty' to sell less of the country. Such a big Qing Dynasty will be ours in the future. If they are all sold out, the master will not be able to Tricked to death..."
Cai Bixia sighed and shook his head, "I'm afraid you are wrong. You want to sell Zai Chun back for 200,000 yuan? Just dream. All of Zai Chun's actions are not his own. No matter how young he is, his status must be taken into consideration... …I think this 200,000 yuan was given to Zai Chun by the head of state in a private name. There is no deep meaning, it is just a gift from the father to his son who is about to become independent!"
"Damn it!" Jin Sanshun cursed in a low voice, "Two hundred thousand yuan was given away for free? Master, what's going on? I don't know how difficult it is for me to be the owner of this family? It will cost the United Fleet to eat, drink and have sex all the way." Money? Even if the British provided some supplies, I have calculated that the expenditure so far has exceeded 2.4 million silver dollars..."
"Why don't you save some money? This time we brought out a total of eight million silver dollars in cash, and we will have to fight in the future. What is this enough for? I feel so distressed, so distressed..."
Jin Sanshun is the chief steward of the entire fleet. He is responsible for all spending matters as the internal affairs officer of the Zhiyuan. The army is a gold-eating beast. In addition, although Prussia provides logistical supplies when going to foreign countries, wars are always full of uncertainties. When it comes to sex, no one can pin all their hopes on others.
So this time the fleet brought countless arms and supplies, and more than 8 million in cash. I heard that Wang Huaiyuan also proposed a batch of CIA gold. Even Jin Sanshun didn't know how much it was.
It's a lot of money, but it depends on what you spend it on. If the family lives on, this money can last ten lifetimes, but when it comes to fighting and killing people, this money is really not enough. One main gun shell on the Zhiyuan costs more than 20,000 silver dollars. , which shows what a cruel gold-eating beast war is.
Jin Sanshun had already received an order from the head of state, asking him to hand over 200,000 pounds to Zai Chun. The fat man did not dare to disobey the head of state's order, but the head of state could not suppress him and not complain.
"Did he have no money in the Qing Dynasty? Didn't he give money when he sent so many rare national gifts from the Forbidden City? Zai Chun is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he is not from our Chinese ethnic group. Why should we give him money?"
"If you ask me, let's go to the head of state to negotiate together. I don't believe there is no room to reason?"
Only then did Xiang Ying sneer and speak, "What are you yelling about? You are willing to act out the drama of father-son love, how can you stop me? You, Jin Sanshun, are just a housekeeper, but do you really want to be the master of the house? You can give it to me if you give me 200,000 pounds." , anyway we robbed the French in Port Said without spending any of our own money..."
"Don't worry, the master has the considerations of the master. In our Asian cultural tradition, master and apprentice are father and son! They are master and apprentice, father and son. The relationship between the head of state and us is not the relationship between teacher and student in the West, but more equivalent to Confucianism. The relationship between masters..."
"If the head of state doesn't pay, today's matter will be really difficult. How can a son become a father alone without a start-up capital? It's a good thing, if Master can treat Zai Chun like this, he won't treat us badly in the future... "
"What's more, these things are also staged for the British. Look at the aggressiveness of the Duke of Newcastle. This is testing our bottom line. I think the head of state is going to start pretending to be a pig and eat the tiger. Facing the British There is only one way to make progress and that is to hide your clumsiness!"
"Bah..." Lin Zhen opened the window and spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth into the wind, and the sparks flew directly into the sea.
"Hide your clumsiness! Hide your clumsiness! How long will you have to hide it? Hey..."
Xiang Ying glanced at him, "You are too grumbling to prevent heartbreak! The head of state has encountered many adversities. Didn't he get through it safely this time? I think the master must have a trump card in his hand, and there must be some killer move that we don't know about... …”
"I don't believe it. Is there nothing the British Empire is afraid of? Where is its weakness? Where exactly is it..."
Of course Xiao Letian knew where the weak spots were in the British Empire, and he even knew where the weak spots were in Europe as a whole, but he wanted to keep this secret in his heart, and he could do it but couldn't tell it.
An hour and a half passed quickly. The Zhiyuan's speed became slower and slower, and the smoke in the chimney gradually became lighter. In the dim halo of dusk, the wide estuary of the Thames River appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, countless British ships on the river were honking their horns in salute to the distant guests, while tens of thousands of nearby British people were crowded on the shore, all of them standing with their feet up and curiously watching the fleet in the distance.
"Look, that's the Steel Reach... I've seen the Oriental Chinese series in the newspaper. It's a legendary battleship..."
"Victory! Look, everyone, our Victory has sailed out from the Isle of Wight...Long live!" The shore suddenly burst into joy.
"Wait a minute, look...why a group of people got off the Chinese warship, they want to go ashore!"
"What is that thing? Why is there a bright yellow thing like an umbrella on the traffic barge? It's so strange..."
The crowd was talking a lot, and at this moment, a strangely accented English voice suddenly came out from the end of the crowd, "That's called Qiluo Umbrella Cover. Under that umbrella, is His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty..."
"Ah..." Everyone exclaimed. When they turned around, they saw an oriental man in a fine suit smiling at the battleships in the distance. Beside him was a beautiful oriental woman in a gorgeous dress.
"Oh God! What a beautiful lady..." Several lustful men drooled, but when a trace of evil thoughts just emerged in their hearts, they suddenly discovered that there were four European bodyguards behind the two Orientals. Following closely, the bulging thing on his waist looked like a pistol.
Behind the crowd, the British police who maintained order did not dare to control these people at all. They clearly saw guns being held and did not even ask.
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and looked at each other. The meaning was very clear. These people are not to be trifled with. Please don't cause trouble.
Yi Wang and Fangguan had no time to care about what these people were thinking. They only had one gaze, and that was the Zhiyuan, which was slowly anchoring. On it was their brother and master whom they longed for.
