Elizabeth's father is in Washington!

And, according to the telegram he sent, soon, he would be coming to San Diego by train. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It doesn't seem to be very interesting. Rachel had no doubt that one of the purposes of her uncle's visit to the United States was to bring Elizabeth back to London. Otherwise, according to what she knew about this uncle, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to run to the West Coast, and he would not even have an idea.

Rachel didn't want him to go to San Diego at all, but he couldn't find any reason to stop him. After all, Elizabeth had been away from home for more than a year, and a month later it was Christmas 1894, and Mr. Daubers intended to bring her back to London...... There doesn't seem to be anything unreasonable either.

It is clear, however, that once Elizabeth returned to London, she had no chance of returning to San Diego until she married her new fiancé - and of course she did not have a new fiancé now; And even if Elizabeth gets married, the chances of returning to San Diego...... Although it can't be called slim, it won't be very high.

It's never going to be funny.

The choice had already been made, and Elizabeth's personal will was completely contrary to her father's. Qin Lang wouldn't like her to go back to London either—no doubt, it wouldn't be; In Rachel's view, the loss of Elizabeth was a huge loss. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to avoid such an outcome.

Rachel knew her cousin well and knew how she would decide: yes, she wasn't willing to accept such an arrangement, but she also lacked the courage to stand up to her father.

She would defy the telegrams urging her to return to London, and would deceive her parents with lies, but if Mr. Daubers stood before her and demanded that she return home immediately, she would have to obey, no matter how reluctant.

There is simply no room for resistance.

Unless......

Rachel had a plan. "We sent a telegram to Qin Lang asking him and Elizabeth to stay in New York and not tell her about her father. When my uncle arrived in San Diego, we told him that Elizabeth was on a trip and didn't know when she would be back. ”

"Then Mr. Daubers will leave. However, Yi Shui felt that this plan was a bit problematic, "What if he insists on waiting for Elizabeth here?" ”

"He's not going to wait long in San Diego, easy water. You don't know my uncle, he's a lot like me...... Father. It wasn't easy for Rachel — to call her father her father, her father. But she's already done it. "He was reluctant to leave his business and wait for Elizabeth."

"In that case," Yi Shui shrugged, "maybe your idea is a good idea, Rachel." ”

"It's not 'maybe,' it's a good idea." She made an emphasis in her accent.

So, the telegram was sent, and in addition to informing Qin Lang of the news that Elizabeth's father was about to go to San Diego, Rachel did not forget to ask him what to do with the two warships. Although she could choose not to read those telegrams sent by Yang Ru, she felt very uncomfortable just thinking that he would send telegrams every day.

She hopes to solve this problem once and for all.

She hoped that Qin Lang could find a way to solve this trouble forever...... Or, tell her the method he already knew.

And preferably as soon as possible.

However, the United States is a time difference country, and the time in New York is three hours faster than San Diego, and with some unavoidable delays, it was already afternoon in New York when Rachel's telegram reached Qin Lang.

Qin Lang was making final preparations for Morgan's invitation, and he had been busy all day, barely having any energy to reply to her telegram.

He has a plan and needs help from others, but he doesn't deal with the kind of idiot who can fool around with just a sentence or two. While they all already know and see his talents, talent is only one aspect, and he must do everything in his power to convince the financial tycoons who can afford to fund him that investing in his company does yield high returns.

This kind of work is not easy and requires many skillful use. William Mather alone wasted Qin Lang a morning, noon, and most of the afternoon, and still received a less certain reply - Mather could not make any decisions himself, and he had to discuss it with his father and the other families in the consortium.

Qin Lang thinks this is understandable. An investment of up to $2 million does require careful consideration. But the problem is that it will take at least a week for the Cleveland consortium to make a decision, and it may take even more...... He doesn't think he has so much time to waste.

He would appreciate a more direct and clear response.

Abraham Kuhn and Solomon Lobe did a great job. The two old Jewish foxes bluntly rejected his suggestion - well, it didn't waste much of his time at all, it probably took more than ten minutes. Kuhn and Loeb apparently didn't have as much patience as William Mather, and they simply refused.

In Qin Lang's view, this is entirely because he not only intends to give them 13% of the equity, but also intends to buy back all of this equity after five years......

There is no Kuhn-Lob consortium to cooperate, but there is a long list of names of other consortiums on Qin Lang's list, such as the more powerful Rockefeller consortium.

Of course, before visiting Rockefeller and others, he first had to be invited by Morgan to his family dinner.

"But what about Miss McBride's telegram, boss?" One of the guards asked, "Miss McBride asks you to give her a reply as soon as possible." ”

"As soon as possible? It's not easy to deal with at all. He was referring to Mr. Daubers's unexpected visit. It was a dream not to tell Elizabeth that her father was coming, but to prevent her from returning to San Diego. She wanted to go back to her chemistry lab whenever she wanted. What is the reason for her to stay in New York?

And he was equally unlikely to be in New York for much time. Once he had secured the investment from the five consortiums as planned, he would have to return to San Diego to convene a meeting of everyone to study and announce something.

Finally, he had to start developing mortars for Emperor Menelik II as soon as possible.

So Rachel's request simply won't come true. "Hell, she's really giving me a problem." Qin Lang muttered. However, it was easy to solve it with two warships.

"Sail two warships to Shanghai. The Minister of International Trade of the South Seas will take them over and integrate them into the South Sea Fleet. Rachel looked at the telegram strangely, then looked up and looked at Yi Shui with the same strange eyes. What does this mean, easy water? ”

"I think the telegraph is clear, Rachel. Once the two warships arrived in Shanghai, the Nanyang Fleet would take them over and incorporate them into its own ship sequence. It's as simple as that. ”

"That's exactly what I don't understand." Rachel said, "I don't know how the South Ocean Fleet is different from the North Ocean Fleet, they are both fleets of the Chinese Navy!" ”

"It's a little different, Rachel." This question made Yi Shui feel quite embarrassed, because he had to mention a strange thing that only occurs in China, "The Nanyang Fleet was established by the Nanyang Minister, and only received orders from the Nanyang Minister, and the Beiyang Minister had no power to transfer it - unless the Nanyang Minister agreed. Unfortunately, as far as I know, the relationship between the Minister of Nanyang and the Minister of Beiyang is not so harmonious. ”

"So he would gladly have two warships seized and incorporated into his own fleet, refusing to return them to Mr. Lee and never agreeing to lend them to him?"

In fact, this speculation has long been realized: at the beginning of the war, Li Hongzhang had asked several cruisers of the Nanyang Navy to go north to support the Beiyang Fleet in battle, but the Nanyang Minister refused-naturally, he was very worried that the old and old warships in the fleet would be smashed into the Yellow Sea by the Japanese Navy's shells......

Yi Shui had heard about it, so he nodded. "That's it."

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Can't your government play a role?" It's incredible; It's really incredible...... In God's name, does this seem like the behavior of bureaucrats in the same country?

"If the government could play a role, it would have already worked. Anyway...... Rachel, can we change the subject? Whatever else to say, Yi Shui just didn't want to continue discussing the kind of political situation in China that could be called completely inexplicable. Every time he thinks about these questions, it makes him very unhappy.

But Qin's telegram didn't say anything else," yes, the topic was caused by Qin Lang's telegram, and there was nothing else on the telegram, "though I'd rather know what he's going to do with the biggest trouble." Rachel sighed.

"Rachel, you put Elizabeth's father ...... Uh, your uncle, called 'the biggest trouble'? ”

"What else would you call him? If my uncle had brought Elizabeth back to London, I don't think Qin would have the heart to pass on his knowledge of chemistry to anyone else. At that point, who are we going to turn to for the chemicals that are planned to be developed? ”

Yi Shui thought about it. "It's still not enough to say that Mr. Daubers is our biggest trouble. Before he takes Elizabeth away, we still have a chance to change. ”

"Have you thought of a solution to this problem?" Rachel asked.

"No ......"

"Then my uncle is our biggest problem." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
