262 Political correctness
Without Holiday Inn, rows of beach chairs and umbrellas, and no ubiquitous tourists, the 21st century tourist destination is just as quiet as it has been for tens of thousands of years before it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It cannot be said that there is not the slightest trace of civilization, there are a few wooden boats with exhaust gas thrown on the beach, there is a simple wooden house on the shore that has been deserted, and there is a lighthouse made of white stone on the beach farther away, but because it is no longer guarded, it is also dilapidated.
"A few years ago, it was very lively, and the smugglers used it as a transit point, exchanging cotton from the south for rifles from the British, but after the war, it lost its usefulness, and the British went directly to the United States to trade as before, and the smugglers left here and returned to Nassau, and it became this ghost again." Green Giles stood beside Li Mu with emotion.
"Look at the white and delicate sand, as well as the crystal clear waves, the gentle and affectionate sea breeze, doesn't anyone want to stay here and enjoy life?" Li Mu didn't understand, being able to live here all year round was the real enjoyment of life.
"Hehe, you're used to the chimneys of Springfield, and the asphalt of Guantanamo, of course you think it's good, but for the Bahamians, the whole Bahamas is full of such sand and waves, and they want more for another life." Green Giles has an insight into people's hearts, and knows the truth of your arsenic and my honey.
"How big is this, it can't be without a person, right?" Li Mu casually asked Benson Anderson, the captain of the "Sea Ranger", to circle around Grand Bahama Island.
"Who knows, maybe some people are tired of life outside, and maybe they live in seclusion here." Green Giles got a rum out of nowhere, leaning against the railing.
Seclusion!
The word is really discordant in Grand Bahama Island, and this kind of "seclusion" life is probably the dream of many people in the 21st century.
The speed of the "Sea Ranger" slowly slowed down, and it began to sail along the coastline, but fortunately, the draft of the "Sea Ranger" was relatively shallow, if it was a large warship, daring to sail at will in such unfamiliar waters was simply looking for death, and any reef could teach people to be a man in minutes.
There is really no people, as far as the eye can see, except for the beach is a mahogany tree, there are no colorful houses and bikini beauties, and there is really no amazing as Li Mu imagined, Li Mu instantly understood the words of Green Giles, living here all year round is indeed a thing that can make people crazy.
Of course, if you make a proper makeover, you can make this a resort, you only come and stay for a certain period of time a year, and leave before you get tired of it, you just need to get a resort hotel, and then build a few bars, nightclubs, etc., and make the most of the beach and waves, there is still something that can be done.
After going around Grand Bahama Island and not finding the imaginary "hermit", Li Mu and Green Giles decided to go ashore, Li Mu did not want to spend the night on the ship.
There is no port on Grand Bahama Island at present, and the only pier is an abandoned artificial dock, and the "Sea Ranger" cannot drive into it, so Li Mu and the others have to change to a small boat to go ashore.
"The conditions here are actually quite good, and with thousands of workers transferred, it is not difficult to expand the port." Li Mu cheered himself up, now is a good opportunity to buy the bottom, a golden opportunity, even if he buys it and continues to be wasted, he must occupy the land first.
"Listen to your tone, that is, you have the ability to do this-" Green Giles shook his head and smiled bitterly, it was really a very shocking thing to be with Li Mu.
Taking off his shoes and stepping on the white sand, feeling the delicate touch of the soles of his feet, Li Mu's feeling was better.
After all, it is a tourist attraction in the 21st century, even if it is desolate, it can't hide the capital of Grand Bahama Island itself, the British still don't understand what these beaches and waves represent, Li Mu knows best, if Li Mu really buys this place, then it won't take long, the British will definitely regret it.
No, regret is not enough, the "empire on which the sun never sets" is in its heyday, colonies all over the world, a small Bahamas, the British really don't pay attention to it, if Li Mu builds the Bahamas into a tourist resort, the British will only be happier, because it is equivalent to helping the British find the best way to develop these islands, if the British promote this model, it will be Li Mu's turn to be depressed.
When it comes to resources, Li Mu and the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" must not be compared, this is not an equivalent level at all.
Relatively speaking, Chu Xue and Gloria, Sandy feel better about the beach here, after all, Li Mu is from the 21st century when the Internet information is developed, he has never eaten pork and picked up pigs to run, and his vision will naturally be higher when he sees more, Chu Xue and Gloria sisters are different, Chu Xue has never been able to indulge in wanton times in her life, and it is the first time for Gloria sisters to grow up and see such a white and delicate beach, and the attraction of this place for them is much greater than that of Li Mu.
In fact, they are not adults yet, the novelty of strange things has made them forgetful, the first snow can still remain reserved, Gloria and Sandy have learned Li Mu to take off their shoes, pull up their trouser legs and start to march towards the crystal waves.
Li Mu looked at Chu Xue with envy in his eyes, and encouraged Chu Xue to go and play with Gloria Sandy, Chu Xue was embarrassed, but was dragged away by Gloria, so Li Mu was only left with a pair of embroidered shoes.
Li Mu also had to loudly remind Gloria not to go too far, so he and Green Giles set up a tent together.
In fact, there is no problem in terms of safety, Li Mu came to Dabahama Island this time, bringing not only the "Sea Ranger" a ship, but also the bodyguards alone brought a hundred and ten people, as well as the reconnaissance company led by Bai Qi, the "Sea Ranger" equipped with naval guns is now the undisputed overlord of this sea area, and the scouts led by Bai Qi are even more killers, they are simply invincible on land in the nineteenth century, which has been proven in the second Battle of El Cristo.
With so many people in the country, Li Mu didn't need to set up a tent with his own hands, but Li Mu has always advocated "equality for all", so he also helped with a hand, which is more conducive to deepening the relationship between the officers and soldiers.
"General, is this our home in the future?" Bai Qi took the time to ask Li Mu, although it was a bit presumptuous, but this was a good sign, at least they didn't treat Li Mu as an outsider.
"Yes, this is our future home, the scale of this island you saw just now, since it can grow trees, then you can farm, the nearby sea is the best fishing ground in the world, all kinds of seafood can not be eaten for hundreds of years, so don't worry about not eating, across the sea is Florida in the United States, where there is enough cotton, as long as you build a textile factory here, you don't have to worry about running out of clothes, the scenery here is not bad, if you live here for decades, hehe, you won't change it for an emperor-" Li Mu is confident, As long as you give the Chinese a little space, the Chinese can survive tenaciously, even if it is hell, it can transform you into heaven.
"It's not bad-" Bai Qi straightened up, looked around at the surrounding scenery, looked at Chu Xue and Sister Gloria who were picking up shells on the beach, and unconsciously reddened his eyes: "General, can I take my relatives at home?" ”
Close relatives!
Although the sea breeze blew again, and although the tents were being set up on the beach, the word seemed to have eyes, and it involuntarily flew into the ears of all the Chinese soldiers, and then touched the hearts of all the soldiers.
Yes, it's a good place, but as long as I think of my relatives who are still in the Qing Empire, the heart-rending pain has never been forgotten.
"Of course, in fact, I have a few passenger ships in my hands, and they are currently running the route from the Qing Empire to San Francisco, you can tell Raul the name and address of your family, and he will take care of all this." For such a request, Li Mu of course agreed, which was not troublesome for Li Mu, and helping these soldiers reunite was more conducive to gaining the loyalty of these soldiers.
"Hooray—"
I don't know who gave the first cheer, and then the cheers resounded all over the beach, some of the fighters were already crying with joy, and more fighters threw their things into the sky to celebrate, no one cared about the tent that had just been half erected, this cheer was the main body.
In this environment, Li Mu was also involuntarily infected, although they have been separated for a long time, but the reunion is imminent, this joy is not enough for outsiders.
Li Mu and Bai Qi were talking in Spanish just now, and Green Giles heard it clearly, looking at the already boiling beach in front of him, the melancholy in Green Giles' eyes flashed.
When the cheers dissipated, the movements of the soldiers were obviously much faster, and it was not difficult to find the joy and eagerness in their hearts from their expressions, Li Mu and Green Giles finally couldn't keep up with the rhythm, at this time "everyone is equal" or anything else had no effect, Li Mu and Green Giles had four or five people come up to grab whatever they wanted, and there was no room for interference at all.
"Reem, you're not an ordinary person now, and you have to think about the impact when you do things—" Green Giles tactfully suggested.
Li Mu was so smart that he immediately understood what Green Giles meant: "Green, if I buy Grand Bahama Island and build it into a villa resort, do you think the tycoons of New York would like to have a vacation cottage here?" ”
"Vacation cottage - that's a good idea!" Green Giles didn't have the heart to think about it.
"Then the question is, this is a pirate's lair, who will protect the safety of the tycoons?" Li Mu unravels the mystery.
The answer is obvious, and Green Giles gave Li Mu a thumbs up and no longer dwelled on the question.
