Just as Qi Xiaotong expected, the banquet did not come to an end until the whole night.
In the dim light, she reluctantly left with an expression of unfinished expression.
Although Jones was a little puzzled by her greed for drink and fun, he did not show the slightest hint of impatience. On the contrary, he was very happy.
Because, at the banquet just now, the two sides conducted substantive discussions on the upcoming state visit, and achieved fruitful results.
Qi Xiaotong repeatedly stated that he came here with sincerity and had no military purpose of any kind.
Jones basically agreed with this statement.
He had already sent people to investigate in private. Qi Xiaotong and his party only had two warships and a supply ship accompanying them, and nothing else.
The entourage is even sparse, with only about a hundred people at full strength. With such a scale, it is impossible to survive the storm.
It can be seen that her statement that there is no military purpose is basically credible.
In this way, Great Britain will be more proactive.
At that time, if they can't reach an agreement, they can use strong imprisonment measures. With the few people under her command, she will never be able to fight.
You can handle it however you want.
In front of her host, she could only bow her head and surrender. Otherwise, what else could she do?
In order to prevent her from ambushing another secret soldier or doing something unknown to him, Jones took advantage of the situation and proposed the idea of accompanying her, that is, escorting her.
He said that with the dark waves surging in the Caribbean, it would be difficult to ensure safety with the small number of troops under President Qi's command. In view of this, he is willing to lend a helping hand to the best of his ability to support the head of the Chinese nation in his westward journey.
Haha, what you say is better than what you sing!
Didn't you do this just to spy on me?
Hum, as you wish!
Qi Xiaotong readily agreed without even thinking about it, and she also solemnly thanked her.
Jones felt happy when he saw this, and said to himself: I didn't expect that she was such a brainless woman who was so easy to deceive!
…
After bidding farewell to Jones, Qi Xiaotong went straight back to the apartment where he was placed.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that Leng Qing, who had gone out, had just returned, and she was greeting Harry there.
After sending Mr. Ha away, the two women started a relevant discussion in a small room.
"The eldest lady is really good at it. She just sang and danced to attract many important people from Great Britain. If it hadn't been for this level of emptiness, it would have been difficult to find a more suitable opportunity for a while. "
"Aunt Leng is overly praised. This is just a simple trick of building a plank road openly and secretly cheating Chencang. It's just that the other party didn't realize that he was caught in the trap!"
"The president is too modest!"
"Okay, let's talk about it. What was your harvest today?"
After hearing this, Leng Qing quickly corrected her attitude and carefully took out a small pile of documents, "These were all stolen from a confidential box in Jones' residence."
"Confidential box? That can't be wrong!" Xiaotong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this and nodded.
Leng Qing said with some regret: "However, all the writing on it is in British characters. I looked at it for a long time and still couldn't read the meaning."
Xiaotong Wan'er smiled and said, "It's okay, show it to me?"
Leng Qing was shocked and said, "What? Do you still know foreign languages?"
"It's okay!" Xiaotong nodded slightly, and then explained: "I learned some from my father before, but I didn't expect it to be used until now."
right!
Mr. Qi is so proficient in foreign culture, how could his daughter not be involved in it?
After feeling relieved, Leng Qing laid out many documents.
Spread them out and examine them one by one.
Qi Xiaotong's browsing speed was very fast, and she read them all in less than half a stick of incense.
"According to one of the documents, all the parts of the steam engines they seized were shipped to Great Britain. It seems that they were researched in some kind of royal arsenal."
"So, my trip was not in vain?"
Xiaotong nodded and said with a smile: "Now that we know the hiding place of the object, subsequent sabotage operations will become much easier. Once we arrive in Great Britain, we will immediately formulate a corresponding plan."
As soon as her voice changed, she said excitedly: "But right now, there is a more urgent thing that needs to be done urgently. If this is successful, I, Dahua, can make a huge unexpected windfall."
"Windfall?"
"Um……"
Next, Qi Xiaotong explained his intention to rob the Tianzhu colony.
However, there is no robbery here, but it refers to plundering by Japanese pirates pretending to be Fuso.
As for why this is the case, Qi Xiaotong naturally has his own explanation.
First of all, Jones deliberately sold defective steam engines to Fuso, which would definitely arouse the latter's strong dissatisfaction. If he used this as a reason to retaliate, the motive would be completely defensible.
Secondly, Fusang people have a natural predatory temperament, and when they see wealth, they are very consistent with their values. So from a sensory perspective, it's very valid.
The only logical flaw is that the Fuso Kingdom currently does not have the ability to go beyond the ocean, so it would be too difficult for them to come to Tianzhu to rob them.
Moreover, how to safely cross the Strait of Malacca is also a question worthy of discussion.
Forget it, don’t worry so much.
It doesn't matter whether the British people believe it or not. What matters is that they can get tangible benefits.
"Miss, our Chinese Army has never had a bad record of plundering external forces. You must carefully consider this move! If you are not careful, your good reputation as a righteous army will be ruined."
"Never? From now on, won't it happen? As for word of mouth, there is no need to be too serious. At that time, we just have to insist that this thing was done by Fuso people, and the fake will become true. ."
"this……"
"The resources in the hands of the colonists were all ill-gotten gains stained with blood. I took them for myself without feeling any violation of conscience. On the contrary, I felt very at ease with them."
Well, that makes some sense!
For gentlemen, we should pay attention to benevolence, justice and morality; but for alien wolves, there is no need to be so polite.
After finalizing the matter, Xiaotong gave another instruction: "Later, you will put these stolen documents back to their original places and erase all traces of their use to avoid Jones becoming suspicious."
Leng Qing responded and said: "This matter is not difficult, I will take care of it." After a pause, she added: "How long do you plan to stay at this berth?"
Xiaotong said without hesitation: "Just one day today, early tomorrow morning, let's set off immediately!"
After saying that, she looked towards the northern night sky.
You landed on the vast sea, where are you now?
You must persist, and I will help you soon!
