Looking at the Spanish-style suburban manor in front of them, the wolf warriors who came accompanied by supplies also looked a little dumbfounded. In their opinion, is it really necessary to build such a large place to live?

But for Zhao Tiehu, seeing that the manor had also built a pass wall more than three meters high, he felt that this place was a little off. But for the time being, it is undoubtedly the most suitable place to live. As for the family, it is indeed too extravagant.

From the situation introduced by Lawrence around him, Zhao Tiehu also knew that this manor was a manor built by a Spanish tyrant at a great cost. The reason for the construction of this manor is naturally because the fields and factories near the manor belong to the merchant.

It's just that the Spanish merchant didn't seem to expect them to lose so much. The construction of the manor, not long before he moved in, the Spanish-American War broke out, and Spain completely lost its colonial rights to the Philippines.

Without the backing of the state, this businessman naturally did not dare to continue to stay here. After the merchant left, a group of natives rushed to the U.S. military to take over the manor, and looted the manor again, with nothing of value left.

Later, the American troops who took over the manor also stationed the manor as a temporary military camp for a period of time. But in the end, considering that the estate was too far from downtown Manila, the estate had to be abandoned in the end.

As a result, for a long time, the estate became a place for indigenous people. Even in terms of industry, this manor belongs to the property of the US military. But in reality, the price of this estate is somewhat unsellable.

The reason is simple, the location is too remote, and there are too many undisciplined indigenous people in the vicinity. Although there are a few businessmen who have bought a few times with the mentality of picking up bargains, they have all lost their money in the end. So much so that this manor was smashed into the hands of the US military.

And this time, Zhao Tiehu spent 100,000 US dollars to buy this manor and thousands of acres of land around it, which undoubtedly made the consuls of Manila very happy. Combined with other up-and-down fees, the actual cost is about $150,000.

This money seems to cost a lot, but in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, it is completely necessary to spend this money. The reason is that when the purchase agreement was signed, Zhao Tiehu explained to the consul of Manila the significance of the inviolability of private territory.

This is also very common in the United States. And the extra 50,000 yuan was undoubtedly used to buy off the consuls and the US military commanders in Manila. Compared with the officers of the Japanese army, the officers of the US military stationed abroad were more greedy.

Just before Zhao Tiehu led people to the manor, he looked at the dozens of indigenous youths who rushed out of the manor, holding sticks in front of the manor. Zhao Tiehu smiled and said, "Lawrence, I suddenly feel that you have thrown me a trouble!" ”

'There! Rest assured, I'm going to have people persuade them now, and if they don't leave, you can solve this problem in your own way. I'm sure it's not hard for your people to solve these problems, right? ’

If Lawrence cheated Zhao Tiehu, it would be unreasonable. After all, the price of 1,000 acres of land alone is worth a lot of money. What's more, what about this large manor in front of you?

But to say that Lawrence is not a little selfish, it is naturally unlikely. Although David and Martin both know that Zhao Tiehu is very powerful in Huaxia, but now that they are coming to Manila, it is naturally not possible to find out the other party's bottom clearly!

looked at the administrative officer who accompanied him, and persuaded those natives with a fierce face. But the natives didn't seem to sell it at all, and still argued with the government officials. Seeing this scene, Zhao Tiehu finally smiled and stepped forward.

He said directly: "Mr. Administrative Officer, can you please make a translator for me?" ”

'Absolutely!' I'm so sorry these people are so rampant, do you want me to go to the city and call the military police to expel them? ’

When the military police come, they can drive them away. But I believe that when the military and police leave, these people are afraid that they will come back. In that case, how many times will I trouble the military police? You can't ask the military police to come and station with me, can you? ’

Along with Zhao Tiehu's suggestion to invite the military and police to come over and expel him, the administrative officer also felt that the young and rich overseas Chinese in the United States in front of him seemed to be not easy to fool!

Standing in front of this group of seemingly fierce natives, Zhao Tiehu said with a calm expression: "Give you half an hour to get out of my manor." If I see you here again in half an hour, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

According to the laws of the United States, and the agreement I signed with the Archon of Manila, the estate and the 1,000 acres of land around it are my personal property and domain. What you are doing now is encroaching on my private domain.

It's just that I just came from abroad, and I don't want to go on a killing spree. So, I'll give you half an hour to pack up and exit my manor. Governor, translate my words to them! My time is precious, and I don't want to waste too much! ”

'Yes! Mr. Chen, I'll translate your words to them immediately! ’

As a result, after the official translated, the natives remained indifferent. Even one of the young natives suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and was about to throw it. But as soon as the stone was thrown, Zhao Tiehu made a move.

Even the administrative officer standing beside him didn't expect Zhao Tiehu to react so quickly, and while dodging the stone, he touched the back of his waist with one hand and pulled the trigger in the stunned expression of the young native.

'Bang! A shot rang out, and the young native snapped in the center of his eyebrow and fell down in astonishment. This scene, not to mention those natives who were dumbfounded, even the political officials who stayed by Zhao Tiehu's side also felt unbelievable.

But Zhao Tiehu said lightly: "Lawrence, the other party attacked me in my private territory, and I was forced to fight back, there should be no problem, right?" ”

'Of course! It's your right! Private lands, protected by the Constitution of the United States of America! ’

With Lawrence's words, the administrative officer naturally didn't dare to say anything more. At the end of the day, the Americans have the final say in Manila. Although Lawrence was only a first mate to drive a boat, he knew many ruling officials in Manila.

Even the U.S. troops stationed in Manila know a lot about each other. Even if Zhao Tiehu is a Chinese, but after all, he is an overseas Chinese in the United States, and he has just bought this manor, how can the ruling chief not stand on Zhao Tiehu's side?

Looking at these angry and frightened natives, Zhao Tiehu raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "There are still twenty-eight minutes!" Big head, combat readiness! Someone has taken over our home, give them a little bit of power, let them sober up! ”

'Yes, young master! ’

Li Hao, who stayed by Zhao Tiehu's side, made a gesture without saying a word. To the astonishment of these natives, more than twenty young men in charge of escorting the goods soon pulled out a submachine gun from their bodies.

After more than twenty submachine guns were aimed at these previously arrogant natives, Zhao Tiehu continued: "You still have twenty-seven minutes!" When the time comes, if you are still staying at my manor, then don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Leaving such a sentence, Zhao Tiehu ignored these stupid natives, and leisurely returned to Lawrence's side and said with a smile: "Lawrence, I'm afraid we have to wait." Although this is not the place to drink, how about we take a break? ”

'Of course! If there is alcohol to drink, I will naturally not refuse! ’

Looking at the more than twenty submachine gunners standing in a line in front of the manor, they pointed their guns at themselves with cold expressions. Those natives didn't dare to speak up anymore, but looking at the political officer, they also felt Zhao Tiehu's murderous aura.

If these natives don't leave, I'm afraid that these natives may really be killed here. Thinking that Zhao Tiehu had also had a cordial conversation with the consul when he came, the indigenous magistrate finally persuaded him.

Perhaps the death of an aboriginal made these natives really realize that Zhao Tiehu is not easy to mess with. Although Zhao Tiehu and his party look like Chinese faces. But it is too rare for these Chinese to dare to make such a move.

Looking at Zhao Tiehu, who had killed a native before, he was very leisurely carrying a small silver wine jug, drinking and laughing with the foreigner. These natives who deceive the good and fear the evil finally understand that these people are not easy to mess with.

As the first aboriginal ran back to the estate, the rest of the natives ran back to the estate. In view of this situation, Li Hao came over to ask whether to pursue it. As a result, Zhao Tiehu waved his hand and said, "I'll go in half an hour!" ”

'Yes, young master! ’

Seeing Li Hao's military temperament, Lawrence was also very curious: "Chen, have all of your subordinates been soldiers?" And I can see that they should all be the elite of the warriors! ”

'Oh! Mr. Lawrence also saw that they had joined the army? I heard David say, you and Captain Martin have served together before? In that case, Mr. Lawrence must have been in the army, right? ’

'Yes! Before I became a crew member, I served on the same warship as Captain Martin. It's just that a few years ago, our domestic economy was sluggish, and the salary we got from joining the army was pitiful, and finally we chose to retire from running boats. ’

'Oh! So, you all used to serve in the Navy? With that said, maybe there will be more opportunities for us to work together in the future. I'm planning to form a fleet here, and I'm going to hire some experienced captains and first mates.

When the time comes, if Mr. Lawrence has any good candidates, you may wish to introduce them to me. Of course, I'm still very generous to friends who help! ’

'Chen, are you going to form a fleet here in Manila?' ’

'Yes! Although I would love to go back to San Francisco, I feel safer there. But you should know that I'm not alone in my family. What's more, I am not the eldest son, and I have no right to inherit.

Therefore, I originally planned to return to China to build a business, but it turned out that it was a mess and not suitable for any business. Later, I thought about coming to Nanyang here, and I thought there should be more opportunities to make a fortune here. ’

After throwing out a lie that is common in Chinese families and fighting for inheritance, he gained Lawrence's trust. Zhao Tiehu felt that in the future, if he wanted to form a fleet between the mainland and the South Seas, he would also recruit some people who knew how to navigate and navigate.

After all, it is impossible for the wolf warriors to stay here all the time in the future, and if they do not arm the fleet all the time, they are afraid that it will be difficult to develop and grow. If he could hire some retired naval officers from the U.S. military, he felt that there might be more unexpected gains!
