It's never easy to gain someone's trust. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Especially when China was bullied by foreign powers and had just suffered a defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, as a citizen of a country with the "Chinese Exclusion Act", it was naturally more difficult for John to gain Yung Hong's trust.

But in other words, John wasn't in a hurry.

Today, the Qing Dynasty still rules China steadily, and although the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War is painful, it will not be until the Eight-Nation Alliance enters Beijing. In the next ten years, the land of China will be in chaos, so he is not in a hurry. And since Rong Hong came to New York, it shows that the other party is very interested in this matter, so as long as there is enough time for him to understand and identify with himself, it will be a matter of time before he agrees.

When Rong Hong came to New York, the East was still at war.

After a period of later than history, the book on the bus organized by Kang Youwei happened again. It's just that compared with history, the book on the bus in this world seems to be more powerful, and Liang Qichao and others took advantage of the situation to stand on the stage of history. At the same time, across the sea, in Taiwan, the war is still in full swing.

In order to avoid retaliation from the Japanese, although John had instructed his men to quietly withdraw from the war deal, the large amount of arms that had been shipped into Taiwan early began to play an important role. Tens of thousands of German-made rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition were sold at low cost prices to the rebels in Taiwan, especially the army under Liu Yongfu, and then opened heavy fire on the Japanese army that landed!

By August 1895, the Battle of Taiwan had finally reached its climax!

Within a month, the Taiwanese rebels suffered more than 80,000 casualties, while the Japanese also paid a huge price of 7,000 dead and more than 20,000 wounded. This heavy loss caused Japan's military spending to rise sharply, and the economy, which was already on the verge of collapse, made it even worse, and at the same time, it also caused their international status, which had just risen by virtue of the war, to decline sharply -- the fact that they could not capture a single island for such a long time naturally made them lose their adults.

At the same time, the battle for Taiwan also affected the situation in China.

Originally, the cause of the letter on the bus was the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, but now the resistance in Taiwan has made the Japanese lose face, which further highlights the incompetence of the Qing army. Therefore, Kang Youwei and others were even more violently attacked, and they also won the sympathy and support of the whole country......

Of course, John just paid silent attention to these things, and never intervened again.

He booked a luxurious hotel for Yung Wing and let him learn about John in New York City. As a graduate of Yale University, Yung not only has an extraordinary influence in China, but also has many friends in New York. So John never worried that he wouldn't say yes in the end, because he himself knew what the surname Huntelaar meant in New York.

So John, who was relieved, was naturally interested in going to Tesla's invitation.

Central Park, New York, Lakeside.

On a small open platform, the bodyguards and servants of the Huntelaar family gathered in a group to protect John and Anna. Holding a parasol, Anna's eyes searched the calm lake curiously, and couldn't help asking, "John, the time should be up, right?" When does Mr. Tesla intend to start? ”

"Uh...... I don't know. ”

Spreading his hands, John said with a wry smile. He received an invitation from Tesla, only knowing that the other party was going to demonstrate an advanced technology on the lake in Central Park today, but except for giving a time, the guy didn't tell anything mysteriously, so all he could do was wait quietly.

After playing with her fingers for a while, Anna asked, "John, aren't you partners with this Mr. Tesla?" Why...... I don't usually see him very often, and it seems that you rarely invite him to your house. ”

"This ......"

Crooked his mouth, John didn't know how to explain it for a while.

When he met Tesla for the first time, John was of course very excited, after all, he liked to read online novels in his previous life, and he was no stranger to this great god. In the novel or on the Internet, many people have deified Tesla, as if as long as there is this great god, they can have everything!

But the more real contact he had, John's heart was very crooked.

Genius is still genius, Tesla can be said to be the most genius person John has ever seen, any technology as long as John proposes an idea, Tesla can be realized with an amazing speed. But if you want to comment on the character of this great god......

Truth be told, John had no interest in being friends with him.

Originally, in his imagination, a big scientist like Tesla should be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune and ******** do research, but in fact? Tesla is far more enthusiastic about fame and fortune than the average person!

In this world, because of the strong support of the Huntelaar family, Tesla not only successfully obtained American citizenship, but also successfully escaped the control of Edison and Morgan and others, and is now one of the shareholders of American Power, Motorola and other companies, which can be said to have completely asked for the tragic fate of another world. But John is a little distressed by this, because he doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Tesla, because the big man is now less interested in scientific research, but more and more interested in politics and making money.

In fact, the scientists of this era are no different!

Scientists at the end of the 19th century were far less noble than the younger generations a hundred years later, such as Edison, Tesla, Koch and Liszt, etc., it is undeniable that they all had amazing talents and certain valuable qualities, but after more contact, John finally realized what a historian once said: 19th century scientists are not so respectable in some respects.

Therefore, Edison could ask the government to set up electrocution for the sake of direct current; The physician who discovered the effect of Yimi's anesthesia threw his life into the patent struggle for the sake of huge profits, and eventually fell into poverty; Albert Einstein, another physicist who was deified in later generations, paid a high appearance fee for his speech after becoming famous.

So for Tesla, John only sees him as a pure partner.

John really doesn't want to have too much contact with this big scientist who is now bent on squeezing into the upper class of New York, and he is secretly ready to form an excellent scientific research team to replace Tesla's important position in the future......

"Buzz ......"

Just as John was thinking about it, there was a sudden low buzzing sound on the lake, and a small boat appeared in everyone's sight, and it was quickly heading towards John and the others.

"Huh?"

Originally, it was just a little strange, but after looking at it on tiptoe for a moment, Anna suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "John, look! This...... There doesn't seem to be anyone on this ship! (To be continued.) )
