5 I want the Penghu Islands (5 more outbreaks)
If it is to be investigated, how can the firefighters who supported the British Concession after receiving a request for help be counted as being attacked by Devimen?
In addition, the account of the killing of Chinese should also be calculated!
So how will this lawsuit be fought? The two sides can only tacitly agree to calculate their own things.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the procedure was not passable, Andersen would not even want to report the matter to the British side.
But that's the way it should be.
He could only truthfully report the entanglement between Devimen and the French Concession, as well as the French Concession's retaliation against him, and the resulting consequences.
Literally more than twenty Chinese were killed and wounded, and Devimen was simply paralyzed in the conflict.
This doesn't seem ugly, but in fact, anyone who knows the inside story understands that Devimen's life is worse than death and Charlie's cruelty.
Now all the countries in Shanghai believe that Han Huaiyi used the means of redeeming the son, he sacrificed the lives of three old Chinese people in exchange for moral superiority, and was extremely cruel and proportionate to cripple Deweimen, but did not kill anyone.
For a while, everyone mentioned that Dark Charlie was a little indescribably afraid.
In fact, Han Huaiyi is not having a good time.
Because he didn't make a specific arrangement of who should be sacrificed.
Life can not be traded.
It was the weakness of the Qing court and the strength of Britain that made him have to endure and wait for a critical point in an event.
In modern history, when did the Chinese people fight against the great powers, when was the blood not shed all over the ground? In fact, he has done enough, but with the memory of later generations, he is used to the strength of China.
So he was very uncomfortable.
Han Huaiyi took the bride to keep a night for the spirits of the three old men, arranged a job for Wei Hutou, and then compensated those merchants for their losses.
As for whether someone will say that he is taking the opportunity to buy people's hearts, he is too lazy to explain.
Han Huaiyi actually didn't want to stay here for a moment.
So a few days later, after he saw off Xiangshuai Yuan Weiting, he held a meeting of the Brotherhood and announced that he would leave for the United States at the end of the month.
As for the ZIPPO plant in China and the Ford plant, he didn't want to care.
Everyone saw that something was wrong with him, but they couldn't persuade him.
The fish who knows his character best is even more worried every day, eager to turn into a finger twister, to resolve the anger in his heart, for fear that he will suddenly explode.
Fortunately, time flies.
It's the end of the month.
After staying in Shanghai for almost half a year, the Lexington finally sailed to the United States again.
The sister-in-law still didn't make it out in the end, because she was going to give birth soon, but Han Huaiyi really couldn't delay it any longer, he could only see his nephew or niece in the future.
Those who traveled with him were Wei Litao, Jiang Wenwu, Wei Hutou, Gavrila, Mitsui Cheng, and two-thirds of the White Russians.
In addition, Li Huang gave two maids to Yu'er, and Han Huaiyi did not refuse, after all, he can't serve his wife every day.
In addition, the Victor family, as well as Ford and Curtis, Brian and Jason all went together.
When sending them on a long journey, Fei Volli felt that Shanghai had been missing something, and the old ruffians didn't want to do it anymore.
Andersen, on the other hand, felt that the sky above his head was much clearer.
However, the Lexington went to Taiwan first.
Because Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd. and New Rome and IMM's Taiwan terminal needed him to make decisions in person.
After a detailed investigation, Wei Litao finally selected the site of the wharf in Keelung.
Keelung was originally known as the chicken coop, and was renamed in the first year of Guangxu.
After the Japanese occupation of Taiwan in 1895, this northern port was deeply developed, so that by the time Lexington arrived, Keelung looked quite standard.
Wei Litao is still talented.
He chose this location, with the mainland on the top, Southeast Asia on the left, and the Pacific Ocean on the right, which was very suitable for the business of New Rome.
But he overlooked one detail.
So Han Huaiyi is actually very dissatisfied, unless...
Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd. occupies an area of 1,000 acres here, and Mitsui will divide 300 acres to New Rome.
He asked Han Huaiyi to choose by himself, whether it was the Heping Island side or the Keelung West Port area.
Han Huaiyi did not hesitate to choose the island of peace, but demanded that the Sheliao East Fort be owned by New Rome.
The Sheliao East Fort existed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, destroyed once when Shi Lang attacked Zheng, destroyed it again in the Qing-French War, and then rebuilt it, and finally changed it to the East and West Fort by the Japanese.
This is a battleground for soldiers.
As soon as Han Huaiyi opened his mouth, Mitsui's face turned green, and he said in embarrassment: "Charlie, you are a businessman, what do you want the fort for?" ”
"Then ask Brian if IMM is willing to put our cause under your gun." Han Huaiyi said.
Brian naturally objected vehemently: "We contracted the entire island, not a prison under gunpoint. New Rome and the Morgan consortium are here for business, but they don't intend to be honest with you. ”
Sensible! Han Huaiyi glanced at him approvingly.
He asked Mitsui Cheng: "With such a big Taiwan and countless good ports, you have to encircle us in Keelung and put us under your artillery, what is your idea?" ”
Wei Litao reacted at this time, and couldn't help but blush.
He is a scholar in the end, with extraordinary knowledge, but he is too unfamiliar with military and political aspects.
At that time, he also thought that if there were Japanese forts here, it would be a guarantee for the safety of New Rome.
But Han Huaiyi obviously meant to tell him that this was no different from a fool.
"Either we will have a fort for us, or we will change places." Han Huaiyi said his bottom line.
Mitsui Cheng smiled bitterly: "Charlie, I didn't mean to design you, but if you want to take the fort together, it is obviously unrealistic." You'd better choose a new place. ”
Han Huaiyi just had extravagant hopes, but he didn't have expectations.
How could the Japanese give themselves all the forts, the Qing court didn't have such a brain. Remnant.
He said, "Where is the second option?" ”
"Penghu, but life over there is extremely inconvenient." Wei Litao said, Han Huaiyi asked Mitsui in wonder: "Penghu? ”
"Yes." Mitsui actually said yes.
Han Huaiyi was stunned, the Penghu Islands can be described as the shipping key point in eastern Asia, the key to the southeast, and the Japanese are actually willing to give them here?
However, he suddenly realized that the Japanese in this year had not even done a good job of Taiwan, and their eyes had always been fixed on the mainland, and they naturally did not look down on the transit islands that controlled Southeast Asia.
Didn't you listen to Wei Yungong, that place is really bad.
However, looking at Mitsui's meaning, since he could not be placed under the gun, it was better to "exile" outside, and the Japanese were obviously very protective of him.
But then follow your wishes, Han Huaiyi made a final decision: "Then Penghu, but I want the whole territory!" ”
Mitsui Cheng tried to say something, but Han Huaiyi began to be unreasonable: "Otherwise, don't do it, or just here, it's better for everyone to only do business and not disturb each other." ”
Mitsui sighed: "Okay, but our ship can dock." ”
"Of course you can, but you can't go ashore and build a stronghold, so how much? I'll make an island owner. Han Huaiyi suddenly said a sentence, and a group of people were stunned.
