Wellington, a middle-aged white man in his early 40s, came to visit him with an acquaintance of the Kufcoke Group, who was the Horse Group's resident Far East specialist in immigration affairs.

In fact, before coming to the Far East, Bai Qi didn't know Cole, but in the past six months, Bai Qi had received many supplies from Cole, so the two became acquaintances.

Bai Qi is still a little curious about Cole being able to get so close to Wellington, after all, Wellington is also the US ambassador to foreign countries, and this position is still relatively important, especially for a small country like the Ryukyus, the rights of the US ambassador to the Ryukyus are almost the same as the "Emperor".

What surprised Bai Qi even more was that Wellington did not have the slightest arrogance when he saw Bai Qi, and even his posture could be called humble, which made Bai Qi feel flattered.

When the United States of Cuba was founded, Bai Qi had seen what the U.S. ambassador to Cuba was like in Cuba, and in Bai Qi's view, Wellington's situation in the Ryukyus should be similar to that of the U.S. ambassador to Cuba when he was in Cuba, so in the face of a pleasant Wellington, Bai Qi felt a little unaccustomed.

“… This is also no way, you know, the Ministry of War has spent a lot of money in the past two years, and the Navy has to take a large piece, and our army is simply raised by the mother, and the salary given by the Ministry of War is not enough to support the family, so we can only come to Ryukyu to make some extra money. "At the beginning, Bai Qi pretended to be pitiful to Wellington.

What Bai Qi said is the truth, compared with the Navy, the US Army is indeed raised by the mother.

Looking at the shipbuilding plan of other navies, as long as there is new equipment, the navy will always change its equipment as quickly as possible, and now even the coastal patrol speedboats are replaced by advanced ships driven by propellers.

Relatively speaking, the army is much more miserable, the army still has only one first cavalry division, and the War Department has no plan to expand the army in the past five years, so from an objective point of view, their retirement is also a last resort.

"With General Bai's strength, of course, he will succeed no matter where he is, but he still wronged General Bai in the Ryukyus, and if General Bai is willing, he can go to a broader platform to show his ability..."

In fact, a broader platform is not to say that there is none, for example, the Qing Empire is currently recruiting new-style officers, and even Michael Ke, a veterinarian, can be mixed into a translator from the Qing Empire, and if such a person applies for the job, he will definitely be reused.

"No, no, I don't want to go to the Qing Empire, it's good here in the Ryukyus, and the remuneration they gave me has already made me very satisfied." Bai Qi immediately blocked Wellington's mouth, it didn't matter how much money he earned, the key was to complete the task assigned by Li Mu.

"Okay, okay, if you insist, no one can force you, if there is anything you need my help with, please don't be polite, our embassy is for the American people." Look at how beautiful people are talking about this meeting.

After Wellington said goodbye, Bai Qi got Wellington's details from Mike.

"Ambassador... Yes, that's right, Wellington is indeed the U.S. Ambassador to the Ryukyus, but at the same time, Mr. Wellington is also the manager of Wellington Trading Company, and this company has a lot of business dealings with our Stallion Group, so..."

Bai Qi then understood why Wellington gave him such a strange impression, it turned out that this ambassador was actually a businessman, and listening to Cole's meaning, this was still a businessman who depended on the Horse Group for a living, no wonder Wellington's posture in front of Bai Qi was very low, and it turned out that there was still this relationship in it for a long time.

In fact, this kind of thing is also normal, the position of ambassador abroad is very magical, the importance depends on the country to which it belongs, such as the United Kingdom, France, the ambassador of the United States living in these two countries must be a high authority.

In the case of the Ryukyus, the ambassador is simply a businessman, and such an appointment is akin to a joke.

In fact, the United States is quite good, and the Qing Empire has gone even further in this regard, for example, in Europe, now in more than a dozen countries, large and small, the Qing State has only arranged three ambassadors, and almost every ambassador has several identities.

The Americas are even more excessive, don't look at the Qing empire tossing a young child out of the country, but in fact, the Qing State has not yet appointed a formal ambassador to the United States, if there is no accident, it will not be until two years later that the Qing State will appoint Chen Liqiu as the first ambassador to the United States, and it is the only ambassador in the Americas, this situation is estimated to be unique in the world.

"So, it should be easy for us to get Mr. Wellington to do something with us..."What kind of person is Bai Qi, the goose plucking means that he is like this, since Wellington can use it, then Bai Qi will definitely not waste resources.

"Of course, if you want Mr. Wellington to help you with anything, just send someone to say it, at least what Mr. Wellington said just now is correct, the U.S. Embassy is for the American people." Cole was very proud when he spoke, strictly speaking, in fact, this is the network that Cole has built up in the past few years.

"Then ask Mr. Wellington to help us send an ultimatum to the Japanese, do you think it will work?" Bai Qi is also brain-opening, this is a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight.

"Ultimatum ... This is not good, it is not good, it will cause a war with Japan, and we will all have to be responsible for it at that time. Cole was dumbfounded by the white brain.

"Hehehe, what's the responsibility? Do you think we can't beat the Japanese? After seeing the combat effectiveness of the Wangcheng Guards, Bai Qi is now full of self-confidence.

Before coming to the Ryukyus, Li Mu still gave Bai Qi a preventive shot, although the Japanese army at this time because of backward equipment, will not have much strong combat effectiveness, but the will of the Japanese can not be underestimated, what these people are best at is to engage in militarism, two slogans shouted willing to throw their heads and spill blood, without piercing their eyes.

In the face of such a Japanese army, it is better to be careful.

Li Mu actually doesn't know the real combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, Li Mu's impression of the Japanese army stems from the second war of aggression against China launched by the Japanese, or from the anti-Japanese drama of those hand-tossed devils in the 21st century.

Relatively speaking, Bai Qi's conclusion is more reliable, after all, Bai Qi is now experienced in a hundred battles.

In Bai Qi's view, it cannot be said that the Japanese army does not have the slightest combat effectiveness, but the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not so strong, if you want to make an analogy, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is estimated to be stronger than the original Putian militia group, but the strength is also extremely limited, if the total score is 100 points, the current Japanese army can barely get 50 points, and the current Putian militia can basically get 70 points.

Of course, the highest score must belong to those American gunners brought by Bai Qi, although these guys do not have a good memory, but their personal combat qualities are all first-class and strong, and they really have to carry out positional warfare in front of the gongs and drums, and the more than 100 people brought by Bai Qi are basically no problem against the five or six hundred people of the Putian militia group.

This is the real comparison of power, not simple addition and subtraction.

Two 50-point soldiers are definitely not as good as a 100-point soldier, and even four hundred-point soldiers are not as good as one 100-point.

Although the battle of Shuri did not last too long, through this battle, Bai Qi already had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Ryukyu military, and according to what Bai Qi had learned, the real strength in Japan was really vulnerable and could not be put on the table at all.

Although it was the Wangcheng Guards who fought against the Putian militia, these soldiers were taught by Japanese instructors, and from these soldiers, the real strength of the Japanese army could be roughly inferred.

The up and down will never exceed five points.

"Of course, I think if we go to war with the Japanese, then I will win in the end." Cole also has faith in the white guys.

Speaking of confidence in Bai Qi, it is better to say that Cole has no confidence in the Japanese army, or that Cole has no confidence in the entire Far East.

As far as Cole knows, the armies in the Far East are still in an extremely primitive state at this time, such as the army of the Qing Empire, which cannot be described as an army at all, that is, a tattered piece called Hanako.

No wonder in the original history, the Qing Empire couldn't even defeat the Japanese.

"In that case, what are you hesitating about? Send an ultimatum to the Japanese government, warning them not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ryukyus, otherwise, hum..."

Interior!

This word is actually very magical, no matter what it is, as long as it is related to internal affairs, it is equivalent to wearing an invulnerable talisman.

Relatively speaking, Cole's face was not as thick as Bai Qi's, so Cole was stunned by Bai Qi's shamelessness.

"Yes, this is the internal affairs of the Ryukyuan people, and we are only involved in it because of the meeting." Bai Qi is also very skilled in speaking clichés now.

Cole was about to express his "admiration" when Hunter suddenly pushed the door in.

"Head, Mr. Yang sent some condolences to him..."Hunter frowned a little as he spoke.

Bai Qi suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart: "Condolences... What condolences are there? ”

The word condolences is actually rich in meaning, chicken, duck, fish and the like can of course be counted, wine can also be regarded as condolences, in addition to women, this is also a special condolences.

This may seem like a bit disrespectful to women, but in fact, in this day and age, this kind of thing is normal.

For Americans in particular, the need for this seems to be particularly strong, and consider that until the 21st century, those American GIs have not been able to control their belts, let alone in these years.

In the past six months since he arrived in the Ryukyus, especially in the last two months, Bai Qi can clearly feel that the gunners he brought are becoming more and more dishonest, and when facing the Chinese in Putian City, the white gunmen can barely maintain their sanity, but in the face of those Ryukyuan, the performance of these white gunmen can even be described as hungry and thirsty.

Bai Qi knew about this, but he never really cared about it, after all, they are all normal men who are not more than 30 years old, and it is normal to have physiological needs, and Bai Qi will not interfere with this, otherwise this is the American version of the Heavenly Principle and the Destruction of Human Desires.

When I got out of the tent, I saw dozens of white gunmen surrounding several large trucks to unload their goods.

Now they are unloading normal condolences, such as slaughtered pigs and sheep, as well as two baskets full of fat chickens, and half a cart of fine wine.

Alcohol is actually forbidden in the military, and soldiers pay special attention to this, because drinking too much will cause mistakes.

Bai Qi usually pays attention to it, but today Bai Qi doesn't want to interfere with the soldiers who are preparing for the carnival, this is what they deserve.

When it came to the last two carriages, Bai Qi finally saw the scene he least wanted to see.

The two brothers Yang Wei and Yang Bang are indeed empathetic, and all the people who got off the last two carriages were women, and judging by their clothes and expressions, they didn't seem to be prostitutes in Shuri Castle.

The word "prostitute" has existed since ancient times, and it can be regarded as having a long history, almost from the first day of human existence.

In recent years, almost all countries in the world have not banned the profession of prostitution, and the United States is the same, and there is a so-called red light district in New York, like Amsterdam, in which there are women from all over the world, including Japan.

Women are really the best catalyst, seeing so many women getting off the carriage, even Hunter couldn't help but rush up and down his hands, not to mention the other people's good deeds, coaxing, coaxing, getting started, for a while, the whole camp screamed, laughed, laughed, and made trouble, it was a miasma.

Seeing this situation, Bai Qi couldn't help but be furious, and raised his hand to call Hunter over.

"I will send these women back later, everything must be done in a moderation, not too much." Bai Qi still held back and didn't say anything serious.

"Head, we've won, and that's the reward we deserve." Hunter actually spoke up, and it seemed that he didn't want to let go.

The aesthetics of Easterners and Westerners are indeed very different, and in terms of Bai Qi's aesthetic point of view, these black, thin and small women really can't arouse any interest in Bai Qi.

But Hunter obviously didn't think so, and of course it may be because he was ruthless, so he was a little carried away now.

"Yes, this is our reward, but you have to be careful, if you accidentally get infected with some disease, then I will not pay you to find a doctor." Bai Qi said ugly things in front of him, and it is definitely impossible to reimburse such a thing as treating a disease at public expense.
