Chapter 484: The fleet arrived

The party lasted until 10 p.m., when it was over.

Everyone who came got the unexpected news and got the opportunity to get in touch with the news. They may work antique calligraphy and painting to increase their friendship with Dong Ku. Of course, they will not leave behind a good tea, two good wine characters, Zuo Boyang and No. 5 and No. 6 are blessed.

After sending everyone away, Dong Ku lived in Longxiang International and returned to Hongkou tomorrow.

In the room, Zuo Boyang, No. 5 and No. 6, and Liu Ruzhi looked at the gifts they received today one by one.

No. 5 complained while opening the box: "Captain, they also call good wine?" I can drink five or six bottles of three or four pounds a bottle, which is the same as water, and it is astringent, and the sour is not slippery. ”

No. 6 echoed: "It's just that the champagne is sweet and greasy, or it also has a sour taste, and it doesn't even have a little degree, obviously it's not a man's drink." ”

Liu Ruji smiled and glanced at No. 6 without speaking. She knew that this was Dong Ku's personal guard, and she also knew from Dong Ku that these were Oroqen people, who liked spirits, and these red wine and champagne were indeed not their dishes.

Dong Ku heard the two of them chattering, and said with a smile: "Do you know how much a bottle of wine you drink can be worth?" A bottle of wine can buy Yanwo Island special brew for you to bathe. Don't be dissatisfied, don't spoil good things, your gifts will be handed over directly to the Liu shopkeeper in the future, so as not to waste them all and exchange them for some Yanwo Island to drink. ”

"Okay......"

Five muttered, and opened a sandalwood lacquer box.

As soon as the box opened, his hand froze and stopped moving, but his breathing was clearly starting to heavily.

Several people sensed the strangeness of No. 5, and couldn't help but stop their movements and look at him.

Dong Ku put down the blue and white porcelain plate in his hand and looked at No. 5 in puzzlement.

They've all seen too many antiques. There is already enough immunity. Besides, the people of the Oroqen tribe don't care much about these things, and there are few things that can touch them.

No. 5 exhaled a breath of turbidity, took two deep breaths and said, "Captain, this is a baby." As he spoke, he carefully handed the lacquered wooden box in his hand to everyone.

"Hiss......"

Everyone gasped. staring at the objects in the box with good eyes, breathing, a little heavy. Even Zuo Boyang, who has always been calm, was a little touched.

The moment the box was stretched out, Dong Ku saw a treasure.

This is a base of the sea of clouds carved from red coral, and on it is a gold and jade carving of dragons and phoenixes playing with pearls. A lifelike golden dragon stepped on the red sea of clouds with one paw, and another fiery phoenix held a walnut-sized bead in its mouth, which was cleverly linked to the dragon's beak with gilt, as if it were being held. Dragon scales, dragon eyes. are all meticulous images, and the fiery phoenix has the feeling of nirvana rebirth. The feathers are as dynamic as a burning flame.

"It's the best!"

Dong Ku saw that this was a beautiful carving of pure Chinese culture, but he couldn't find any information about this carving in his mind. Perhaps, when the sculpture left China, it sank to the bottom of the sea, or it was destroyed in a foreign country for some reason, or it was simply hidden. Until the family did not get the inheritance. Such a rare treasure can only be revealed in the afterlife. It would be absolutely shocking to the world. It's so beautiful!

"Whose gift is this?"

Dong Ku took the box and asked.

No. 5 hurriedly picked up the gift list and compared it, and said, "This is a gift from the Italian military attaché." ”

"Oh? Is that Field? ”

Dong Ku remembered the guy with a short body and a strong force.

"Yes, captain, he also has two jade wrenches, a pair, green bamboo green."

Five said, glancing at the log.

Field......

Dong Ku's eyes narrowed. In addition to porcelain, it is jade calligraphy and painting. But this exquisite carving can be said to be the treasure inside, although the others are also good, obviously in the carving, the material is not as exquisite, especially the carved phoenix red red without the slightest impurities. It is even more rare in the world.

It seems that this field is a man with a heart. The wrench is already a good thing, although it can't catch up with the blue and white porcelain and some calligraphy and paintings, but it also belongs to the top grade, but this dragon and phoenix play bead is a peerless treasure.

"Put it alone, this is a Chinese treasure!"

Dong Ku closed the lid and handed it to Number Five.

"Yes, Captain."

The fifth leader ordered to put this box together with the treasures that had been selected, and those items that Dong Ku had judged to be good things in their eyes, and would send them to the boutique in the storage place for separate storage.

Looks like we're going to talk to this Field......

Dong Ku squinted his eyes and summed it up, and then, the work of opening and looking at the gift continued.

The value of these gifts will determine whether Dong Ku will give these people enough benefits, if the gifts given are not attentive enough, sorry, there are benefits first. In this way, there will be a steady stream of treasures coming later, saving yourself from looking for it in the world. Perhaps, if tempted enough, these people will return to China to find the treasures of the Old Summer Palace to deepen their friendship.

There are a lot of boxes and packaging in Dong Ku's house, and a few people are estimated to be busy for at least two hours, so they don't have to worry about sleeping.

Just when Dong Ku was busy, the time was approaching midnight, and on the sea, a number of navigation lights appeared, and then, the starlight converged into a film.

The submarine hidden in the far part of the channel saw the distant lights in the night, and then, turned off the engine, quietly dived to the depth of the periscope, and stared closely at the lights that were getting closer and closer.

After nearly 20 hours of sailing, the Japanese fleet formation arrived at the predetermined sea area one step ahead, and they arrived one step ahead of those troop carriers, but out of caution, they only searched the surrounding sea area, and did not immediately attack the Shanghai area, although it was only less than forty nautical miles away from Yushan Island, the fleet still stopped, and did not approach the vicinity of Shanghai.

If the name of the commander of the fleet was known to Dong Ku, he would definitely be surprised. The commander of this combined fleet was a famous Japanese general, who only took office in 39 years.

After taking office ahead of schedule, Sanben Fifty-six received an order to attack Shanghai and recapture Shanghai. He led more than 30 destroyers, cruisers, frigates and other large and small warships, as well as two newly launched aircraft carriers and two old aircraft carriers converted from original battleships.

Yamamoto believed that if the battleships began to attack and the ground forces could not reach them, the attack would be meaningless, and the bombed positions would not be occupied by soldiers, and it would still be the enemy to turn back, so he would have to wait until the troop transports arrived in a few hours before launching an attack.

The fleet, unbeknownst to them, was staring at them a periscope a few kilometers away. After searching the surrounding seas, they began to rest and prepare for tomorrow's attack.

The news has reached Liu Zhong, and after Liu Zhong received the news, he immediately contacted Dong Ku.

Dong Ku had not finished cleaning up these gifts at this time, and after receiving the news that the Japanese warships had arrived and anchored more than 40 nautical miles away from Yushan Island, he only inquired about the fort, so he ordered to observe and wait for the Japanese to attack.

He didn't take this seriously, the Japanese army had a lot of existing warships, but he had already prepared gifts for the Japanese army, and he didn't dare to say that all these warships should be left, and it was not difficult to leave ten or twenty warships.

When Dong Ku was busy and the Japanese warships arrived, the bigwigs attending the banquet in the concession gathered in groups of three or five, and they did not feel sleepy.

George, Henry, Smolley and Lycan? Rothschild was drinking coffee in the British embassy at this time, talking about today's banquet.

Henry put down the coffee and said: "This advance army is not important now, this Dong Ku is the key, it seems that even if he builds a factory in Malaysia, we will not be able to move him." ”

George nodded approvingly: "That's right, this person has too many resources, so don't anger him before you dig them out." ”

Smolley glanced at them, smiled and said, "I think Mr. Ambassador has overlooked one point, he has a weapon information that is intimidating to the Empire, if he is provoked, he may turn to our enemy, he does not have the support of the state, although it is not a concern, but if our enemy obtains these skills, it will be a disaster for the Empire." ”

Laiken frowned slightly and said: "That's right, he is a businessman, he attaches great importance to interests, the most important thing is that this person is greedy for money, not open-minded, belongs to a kind of person who must be repaid, just like the ancient Chinese saying, belongs to the donkey, you can follow the hair, choking on the hair, we still don't underestimate his energy, since he can not even have information about the weapon company, the heart of science and technology with countless patents does not know where to go, he can buy the patent of penicillin drugs, and produce, this is enough to show, He has close ties with these companies, and the little-known weapons company not only owns weapons and livelihood products, but also uses the advance army as an experimental carrier of weapons, these will not be as simple as they seem. ”

"It seems that I want to report, don't anger him for the time being, try to have a good relationship, dig out this weapon company and that scientific research company with patents, and then make plans, this place is far away from us, don't force him to block the information of these two companies for small interests, and turn to our enemies."

George stirred the coffee and thought about it and said: "Fortunately, the foundation of our friendship in the first step has been laid, and it is not difficult to make contact, as for what he said about not having Japanese people in the concession, tomorrow, we will start expelling these people, and this will be left to Jonathan, he should have a way." ”

They were talking about Dong Ku, about tonight's banquet, about the two mysterious companies, and the rest of the people who participated in the banquet were also having trouble sleeping, all sorting out the information they had gotten and preparing to react to the base camp. In particular, Major General Field of Italy, although he is a military attaché, his appearance is still rough, and his appearance is not amazing, but his heart is as careful as a hair, and his consideration of problems is far better than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared a boutique in less than an hour that far exceeded the value of other people's gifts after he was invited to the banquet and introduced the background of the banquet host.

He knew that Italy lacked resources, and if it wanted to occupy a place in the competition of these great powers, it must have its own unique places, such as weapons, advanced weapons, and others are just objects of plunder...... (To be continued......)
