Chapter 156: All of them are here!
When the fleet returned to the supply station of the Leeward Islands, Hong Tao saw a very familiar sailing ship far away, which was the America, an ocean-going expedition ship that Wen Xiaoqi and himself made for Hong Salamander and Luo Meimei. Since it appears here, it means that Cixi's work efficiency is very high, and Hong Salamander and Luo Meimei have already received their own notice, and they have also come over in a boat.www.biquge.info As for why they showed up at the supply depot in the Leeward Islands, it must have been Carl's deliberate attempt to get revenge on him by allowing the two children to come here to take care of the captives. This kind of tiring work, he can hide.
"Daddy...... Father! Before Hong Tao's flagship docked, the Hong salamander appeared on the pier, jumping on his feet and cheering. This girl has really grown up, with slightly dark skin and a cheerful personality, very similar to Bozhu back then, and her voice can be heard by the whole fleet. is much taller than Bo Zhu, even a little fiercer than Sai Fei, and is about the same height as Luo Meimei, it seems that his genes still play some positive roles.
“…… Father-in-law ......, "Hong Salamander is becoming more and more extroverted, Luo Mei is becoming more and more introverted, and when he saw Hong Tao getting off the boat, he also bowed with his fists, and the courtesy was very thoughtful."
"Yo! have changed their mouths, when did they become pro? Hong Tao didn't treat Luo Meimei as an adult at all, and reached out and patted him on the head as he had done in the navigation school.
"At the beginning of last year, it was my mother-in-law who presided over it. I originally wanted to wait for your father-in-law to be with you, but I couldn't find any trace of you......" Luo Meimei was a little resistant to Hong Tao's actions in front of so many people, but he could only shrink his neck and didn't dare to dodge.
"My mother forced us to get married, you don't go home, she is angry, and she secretly scolds you behind her back!" Hong Salamander, a girl who has not been close to Bo Zhu since she was a child, likes to pester her father, who can't stay at home for two months a year, and now that she sees Hong Tao, she immediately sells Bo Zhu.
"Hahahaha...... Your mother has never scolded me, when was your father and I afraid! Bo Zhu was very disappointed in himself, or a little resentful, this matter does not need to be said by Hong Tao, Hong Tao also understands. If it were any woman, her husband would not be happy to leave his son who had just become the emperor and run out to hide and ignore it. But this problem cannot be reconciled, in the choice of whether others are uncomfortable or their own discomfort, Hong Tao will 100% pick the former, who to love.
"Don't steal fun, you kid, this problem is only allowed to me, and you are not allowed to learn! In the future, if Hong Salamander comes back and accuses me of bullying him, I will even toss you and your father together. This is a unique royal skill, which is passed on to men but not to women, and not to sons-in-law! Seeing Luo Mei's virtue that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Hong Tao suddenly sweated for the salamander. How can this child become more and more like Cixi's character, the thief is bold and bad, and he must take a dozen preventive shots.
"You're embarrassed to say that my father, since you tricked him away, our father and son haven't seen each other for so many years. You don't take me to the Americas, and deceiving people is also your royal unique skill. Luo Meimei made Hong Tao a little unhappy, and he also loved and hated Hong Tao. This old man is too thief, too bad, too learned, too able to read people's hearts.
"Hey, don't talk about my dad like that, I'll beat you up if you say anything else!" Before Hong Tao could object, Hong Tao stopped doing it first, and reached out to grab Luo Mei's arm.
"Hey, girl, don't do anything outside, you have to call home. You're a big girl, be quiet! Besides, you can't beat him, find a place where no one is, let's go together. Luo Mei is not as strong as Swan, but his judo and boxing results are among the top in the school, and Hong Salamander is no match for him even if he has done a few tricks since elementary school. And Hong Tao doesn't want his daughter to become a tigress outside the home like Weng Ya, it's okay to be spicy and outgoing, that's true temperament and cute. But it's too much, and it's a bit hateful. Among men with a little ability, it is very rare that they can achieve the level of compassion that they can't fight back, scolding and not fighting back.
"If you don't educate your children like this, isn't this provoking a fight between our husband and wife!" Luo Meimei felt that he seemed to have come to the wrong place, just one salamander was enough for him to deal with, and now with such an old man who did not slip away, the future life would be very miserable.
"Nonsense, if you fight a father and son soldier, we will not be allowed to be a father and daughter soldier!" Hong Tao didn't feel that what he said was wrong at all.
"That's it! I'll beat you up with my dad! The salamander added to the side and waved his fist.
"Hey, who's over there, they're Imperial soldiers! How did you two bring in the Imperial soldiers too, it's not appropriate! Jin He is your younger brother, and if you don't help, you can't tear him down. As soon as this opening is opened, I won't be a bastard dad who digs into his son's corner! chatting with Hong Salamander and Luo Mei on the dock did not delay Hong Tao's little eyes to touch around. The open space in front of the wharf had been turned into a large prisoner of war camp, and the wooden houses were fenced off to form four or five separate areas, much like the slave camps of the Golden River Kingdom, which at first glance were built according to that model.
These things are not surprising to Hong Tao, Carl, Luo Mei all know this, and even Hong Salamander will. To his surprise, the soldiers patrolling between the camps, in addition to the Indian soldiers, there were also some Han Chinese. Their every move bears obvious traces of the soldiers of the Golden River Empire, and many of them are still wearing naval uniforms, but they do not have armbands and military ranks on them.
Hong Tao asked these people to come to him, not because he planned to convene the old department, let alone start a new business with Hong Jinhe to compete for talents. The people he called over were all marginal figures in the empire, and even if they had positions, they were all idle positions for retirement, and they had to resign before they could come over. Except for their families, they are not accompanied by subordinates or followers, and they are not allowed to bring their disciples and grandchildren to join them. If this is the case, Qi Zu and Wen Xiaoqi can hollow out the Imperial Shipyard and the Imperial Metal Group, and they can also directly shut down the chemical industry that the empire has just established. Now Luo Meimei and Hong Salamander actually brought all the imperial soldiers, which is too out of line and too sensitive.
"Just met and criticized people! You can blame both of us this time, they didn't come with us. It was brought from the port of Calamba by Uncle Wen, and they had served in the Imperial Navy, but they had already been fired. By the way, you should know them, it seems that you rescued them from the sea in the first place, what is the surname of their captain? Hong Salamander pouted and was not happy, and ran all the way over, and was beaten down again when he first met, which was too wronged.
"Wen Nan is here too! Where is he? As soon as he heard Wen Nan's name, Hong Tao couldn't even care about his daughter's grievances, and the old guy who hadn't seen him for several years said that he didn't want to be fake.
"Uncle Wen's family went to Karl Fort, his leg is bad, and he suffers here. Not only Uncle Wen came, but the Mercy family also came, and he and Weng Ya took Uncle Carl's fleet to Sun City. Governor Mak's family is also in the fleet, and the route map to Sun City is given to him by Governor Mak. "The cost-effective Hong Salamander and Luo Meimei didn't come by themselves, Cixi basically got all the people Hong Tao wanted to find.
"Hey, it's lively this time, America, why didn't you take the fleet to see your father first?" Hong Tao was very relieved that he finally had someone to use in his hands, just like when he had just established the Jinhe Kingdom, and now was the time when he needed manpower.
"......" Luo Meimei opened his mouth and did not squeak, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Dad, he let Sister Weng and Brother Mercy beat him up, it's not that he didn't want to go, he didn't rob it, hahahaha......" Hong Salamander, a girl with no heart, exposed her shortcomings in front of Luo Meimei, and smiled so happily, she was really heartless to the extreme.
"Then why didn't you help him fight? Just watch him being bullied by others! Hong Tao has to talk about his daughter, the husband and wife are the same forest birds, and they have to fly together when the disaster comes, how can they help outsiders bully their husbands.
"She wants to wait here for you to come back, she doesn't want me to go by myself at all, thank God if she can help the two of them beat me together!" has already lost face to his daughter-in-law, and Luo Meimei has nothing to hide, so hurry up and cry out. Although there is almost no chance that this old man can help him avenge his grievances, he can be happy when he says it.
"Come on, child, don't worry, my girl has little heart and eyes, she is a real person, so you can take care of it more. In fact, this is also your blessing, worry-free, happy or unhappy are all hung on your face, saving you the trouble to guess it. She bullied you, I'll call the shots for you, do you want to be the commander of the fleet? I have two fleets here, one for Mercy and Ongya, and one for you. "This time Hong Tao is really abnormal, he didn't protect the calf to the end, not only admitted his girl's mistake, but also planned to give Luo Mei a very practical compensation.
"Father-in-law, I talked to Uncle Carl the other day and looked at his charts. I think that if you want to control this sea area, it is not enough to rely on Fort Karl alone, if you build another naval base on the Victory Islands, not only echo Fort Karl from afar, firmly control Europe, but also contain the west coast of Africa to the south, whether it is the east-west or north-south route, this is a battleground. Uncle Carl said you mean the same thing, can you give me the governor of this archipelago and the salamander? "Romei is a very thoughtful child, and he did not confuse the title of commander of the fleet. According to the experience of the Royal Navy of the Golden River Empire, the commander of the main fleet is not beneficial. Because Hong Tao will personally command every major war, and the fleet commander is also the life of a herald, so it is not as good as being a governor or base commander with more freedom.
