"So...... And that's it? It's over? ”

"Yes, it's over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Qin Lang put away the telegram he had just gotten - of course, it was sent to him by Rachel and Yi Shui, but in fact, this was the fourth telegram he had received, and before that, little Morgan, Harriman and Yang Ru had informed him of the outcome of the matter, and Rachel's telegram was not only the latest, but also the easiest.

Actually, things are not as simple as she says. Tan did not accept all the conditions until an hour before the deadline set by Mahan, not because he was unwilling but because he had been in a coma for nearly four days, and the eight-inch naval guns of "Baltimore" and the telegram from the Prime Minister's Yamen that could figure out the contents even with his toes knocked him down, and Yang Ru received information that he would need to recuperate for a long time before recovering.

Of course, this is a good thing, which can make Beijing remove Tan Zhonglin from his post logically, and the public reason will definitely not embarrass the adults in the military aircraft department.

But this is also dangerous, if he is in a coma for a little longer, Mahan will not hesitate to order the opening of fire on Guangzhou. This is not only an unacceptable result for Qin Lang and Yi Shui, but also those members in the Congress will have more complaints and accusations.

Especially Democratic lawmakers. Even if blaming a Navy colonel and passing a resolution in Congress punishing Umbrella would not help the Democrats in the race, they would do so, at least to the point where Horace was killed. The culprit of Judge Gray's forced resignation is also in color......

Qin Lang had no doubt that Democratic lawmakers would be able to guess that the Republican Party's activities were only due to his advice. He was in Washington, D.C., and walked into the Capitol with Republican Senator Bush under the watchful eyes of many lawmakers, guards, and ordinary staff; No one would believe it was just an ordinary visit, and even if it wasn't his advice, they would have thought so.

-for-tat reciprocation is inevitable.

Therefore, it is still difficult to predict what attitude Washington will choose to take towards what has just ended. At such a time, it may be useful to curtail the company's activities a little.

"Now that the main problem has been resolved, it's time to remind Rachel of another problem," Qin Lang retracted his thoughts and said, "The recruits she recruited can't be trained in the United States, and she needs to find a new training base outside of China." ”

There was no sound at all in the office, no one agreed, no one asked questions, Qin Lang only had one audience, but he was obviously a little absent-minded.

In fact, Duncan was in the midst of a great shock, and the trouble caused by Rachel was solved: as the losing party, in addition to accepting all of Mahan's conditions unconditionally, the hapless Chinese governor was not only required to recuperate in a hospital bed for at least three months, but he also had to recuperate in his title - the Chinese government removed him, but he had to continue his work until the newly appointed governor arrived.

However, he was not alone, and it is said that at least 10 other officials in Guangzhou were dismissed by the Chinese government because of this incident - only "allegedly", of course, and only one of all the reports was conclusive, and the chief executive of the county next to the Guangzhou Bay concession had really lost his job and had not even had the opportunity to "act" - because he was only acting chief executive in the first place.

By "taking out" two Chinese officials at once, Rachel could declare his own great victory.

But Duncan couldn't be happier. On the one hand, he had always wanted to see Rachel fail, to see her frustrated, to hear her admit that she was still not as talented as her other male counterparts, and that this was a wonderful opportunity, but now it turned out otherwise, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed; On the other hand, Rachel's success in solving problems has shown everyone what she is capable of, and when he goes to Canton Bay to take over the work there, the difficulty of dealing with the problems is undoubtedly increased, and the slightest mistake will make people think that he is inferior to Rachel.

The problem is that, no matter how reluctant he may be, Duncan knows that his talent is indeed inferior to that of Rachel...... In other words, his fears will not only become reality, but will also recur.

Thinking that he will always be in the abominable Rachel in the future. Under the shadow of McBride, Duncan couldn't help but sigh. "It's terrible."

Then he realized that he was still in Qin Lang's office, and he seemed to have said something just now, so he hurriedly defended himself: "Of course, I don't mean the little problem you said. ”

"'That little question I said,' what's that, Duncan?" Qin Lang asked rhetorically.

The teasing did what it had hoped—Duncan's face flushed, and his body writhed uncomfortably in his chair. But under Qin Lang's silent gaze, he finally had to admit, "I'm sorry, I was distracted and didn't hear anything." After a little more hesitation, he continued, "How many things did I miss?" ”

"Not much, actually." Qin Lang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Rachel recruits recruits in China, and we must train them in a third location outside of the United States and China. ”

"Why?"

"The Chinese Exclusion Act, Duncan, that's our problem." He sighed, "No matter how many people Rachel recruits, hundreds or thousands, we can't legally get them into the United States." While smuggling is a highly viable traditional method, we cannot do so now. The Democrats guys are getting ready to get us in trouble and can't give them an excuse. ”

Qin Lang deliberately pretended to be worried, but to his surprise, Duncan seemed to be quite happy - of course, only for a moment, and it was possible that he didn't even notice it. At first, Qin Lang thought that his trick had been seen through, but he soon understood what was going on.

"I knew Rachel was going to get us in a big problem." Duncan angrily shouted, "She gave our adversary the best excuse to attack, and it's too late to do anything, the Democrats don't do it as easily as the hapless Chinese governor......"

"Duncan." Qin Lang interrupted him, "You should know that Rachel recruited mercenaries in China, and I didn't object to it from the beginning. ”

"That's just because you trust her too much."

"You still mean that my judgment is wrong. And," he stressed, "no matter how much I believed in her, I should have anticipated the potential risks of things – and if not, it was still my fault." ”

But Duncan didn't want to accuse Qin Lang of making mistakes, his target was only Rachel, and wrongly accusing Qin Lang would not only deprive him of the aid he had hoped for, but also put him in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness - when Qin Lang and Rachel joined forces, Yi Shui would undoubtedly support them, O'Connor would only remain neutral at most, but in fact he would usually side with Qin Lang - this kind of thing had happened once before, when he tried to establish a union in the factory......

Duncan didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, which wasn't very pleasant, so he had to defend himself again. "I'm not trying to say that your judgment is faulty, Qin, it's just that I think Rachel ......"

"I know what you think, Duncan, I know you just want to see Rachel's jokes. However," Qin Lang paused and issued a warning: "You'd better not involve personal conflicts in your work, this is an extremely dangerous behavior for the entire company." ”

"I understand, Qin." That's all he can say.

Qin Lang wasn't sure if Duncan really understood, but he wasn't prepared to seriously pursue such an issue, and it was a good thing to have a board member who opposed Rachel, which could save some trouble and bring some benefits. Of course, in any case, the development of events must not be beyond his control.

Duncan didn't understand his thoughts, and now he just wanted to end the wrong topic as soon as possible and get back in the right direction. "Where are you going to train those people?"

"For the time being, I don't have a decision yet." Qin Lang shrugged. In fact, at first he considered training new mercenaries in Mexico, not only close to San Diego, but also easy to bribe Mexican officials, and he could also get Goni. Diaz's help - but Diaz was also a nuisance, and the Mexican landowner was not to be fully trusted. Another, more important and practical problem is that the Mexican desert is so different from the mercenary's future combat environment - there is not even a single tree in that place.

"In my personal opinion, since we have to build a new training base, we should put it in a suitable place." He said.

"Indochina?"

"Huh?" Qin Lang raised his eyebrows. The best location for the new training base is certainly in the Philippines, and of course Vietnam is also worth considering, but why did Duncan suddenly mention it? "What do you mean......"

"It's just that I think that since we are going to supply mercenaries to the French, and our troops need to be trained in jungle warfare, why not simply build a training base in Indochina?" After a pause, Duncan added, "Let Rachel negotiate with the French, and I'm sure she'll be able to make it." ”

There is no doubt that this addition is an additive move that immediately exposes his true intentions. Qin Lang's eyebrows furrowed instantly—but in the end, instead of accusing Duncan, he nodded. "Yes, let Rachel give it a try, hopefully she will be able to convince the French."

He picked up his pen and began to write the contents of the telegram to Rachel on paper. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
