As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at the person sitting in the corner.
Wan Shang stood up, glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on George.
"In fact, it is very simple to solve this matter, as long as you also have powerful battleships to guard the Boston Harbor, even for one day."
"The British battleships dare not approach easily."
"And Long Yan happens to have ten supply ships parked on the Panama Canal right now."
"You can pay to rent these supply ships and patrol around Boston's harbor for a day."
"Of course Dragon Flame will not help you directly fight against Britain's forces."
Upon hearing this plan, everyone present fell silent.
Hiring Long Yan's supply ship to protect Boston Harbor is something they can't even imagine!
But now the people from Long Yan's side actually said this.
"Your Excellency Wan Shang, you said that supply ships can be rented. If we buy one, I don't know if it will work."
Wan Shang shook his head and said, "Items that are not for sale will not be sold!"
"It's a matter of course that I help you protect Boston Harbor. You should be grateful."
Everyone nodded, and the ridiculous move of purchasing a supply ship was never mentioned again.
George looked at Wan Shang and said, "What do we have to pay for renting for one day?"
"Millions of gold."
"I think this price is reasonable. After all, the Dragon Flame Fleet can help you get rid of the danger of the British Fleet."
"And I think you all understand how unusual it is for Long Yan's supply ship to patrol Boston Harbor, especially during this time period."
Everyone was speechless. They knew very well how huge the amount of information that Long Yan's supply ship appeared at the Boston port during this time period was.
Moreover, the British troops did not dare to confront Long Yan's fleet head-on. He had to rely on Long Yan's two golden waterways to maintain his colonies in the world.
But the price...
"One million gold..." George frowned. They could still get it out after working together, but it was also extremely painful.
"Can we discuss this price? As you know, although we have a lot of assets, we still need to collect such a large amount of gold first."
"This takes time, but what we lack most now is time!"
"The British fleet will arrive in another week, and we have less than three days left to prepare."
Wan Shang thought for a while and said, "Nine hundred thousand."
"The price is already fair."
George looked at everyone with pained expressions on their faces, and they all hinted that George was asking for a lower price.
Just as George was about to speak, he was interrupted by Wan Shang: "Sir George, the price I gave you is already very fair."
"I hope you can understand the current situation."
"I would also like to inform Mr. Qing Yangshuo that we don't have much time after this."
After hearing this, George took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, nine hundred thousand is nine hundred thousand!"
"Let's go out!"
When George said these words, he felt like his heart was in pain.
Nine hundred thousand gold, how long would he have to plant a plantation to earn so much money!
The rest of the people also looked pained, after all, the money was not a small amount.
Let them hand it over like this, and they only hired Long Yan's supply ship for a day. Just saying it makes my heart hurt!
"We're going to raise money. When will Long Yan's supply ship arrive?" George asked.
"Soon." Wan Shang replied calmly.
"To be precise, it won't take more than three days."
Everyone was stunned and said in complete confusion: "Three days, if Long Yan's fleet gets the news today, there will be no problem reaching here in three days!"
"But no one has informed them now!"
Wan Shang smiled and took out a wireless telegraph machine that needed to be cranked by hand. After shaking it a few times, he dialed it a few times.
He just said, "Now they know."
After seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and some people were even more angry!
"Do you think you can get the supply ship to receive the message by holding a black box and fidgeting with it twice?"
"It's impossible for the world to have such technology, and even you, Long Yan, can't have such technology that can communicate instantly!"
"So sir, I respect you and am willing to pay such a high price."
"But please be respectful, don't bring out something like something used by wizards, and tell us everything was successful!"
George also looked at Wan Shang coldly and said, "Gentlemen, why don't you take the gold to Longyan City."
"We believe that time will come."
Wan Shang looked at the livid faces of everyone and said with a smile: "No, this black box is called a wireless telegraph machine, which can allow people thousands of miles away to receive messages instantly."
"It's normal that you don't know. Dragon Flame is not commercially available yet. It is only used by the army."
"Don't worry, the Dragon Flame supply ship will arrive in less than three days."
Seeing Wan Shang's vow, George was stunned.
They are not worthy of the courage Wan Shang and Fang Dalong took to make such a vow.
But now they still beg Wan Shang and Fang Dalong not to be angry, so they can only endure it.
But at the same time, because he didn't trust what Wan Shang and Fang Dalong said.
George decided to let Green take 900,000 gold to Longyan City, and asked Qingyang Shuo to give an urgent order for Longyan's supply ship to attack quickly.
Everyone also felt that this method was the safest, and they could only say: "Go ahead, Green."
Wan Shang and Fang Dalong shrugged. It was normal that they did not recognize Long Yan's wireless telegraph machine.
When they first found out about this thing, they were shocked.
It was completely unbelievable that something could transmit information at such a long distance.
This sounds like fantasy.
"Since you don't believe it, let Mr. Green prove it."
"I will write a letter about the transaction. If Mr. Qing Yangshuo doesn't know about it, Green can use this letter to inform him."
"But you won't need it."
Wan Shang quickly wrote a handwritten letter and gave it to Green, and he said to everyone.
"Three days. In three days, you will see Long Yan's supply ship at the port of Boston."
Everyone completely sneered at Wan Shang's words.
If they didn't still need each other now, they would have kicked out this guy who only knew how to brag.
George looked at the confident Wan Shang and Fang Dalong and took a deep breath.
When he met these two people before, he felt from the other party's conversation that they were not such people.
But judging from what is happening now, the two of them are like mental patients.
