Chapter Eighty-Six: A Huge Windfall
Governor Kim woke up, and he woke up after being in a coma for half a day. Although he kept thinking about how good it would be if he didn't wake up. Even if he ascends to heaven from now on, when he awakens, he will have to face a reality that is even more terrifying than hell.
Governor Kim's bedside was full of staff from the Governor's Mansion at this time, and the medical staff saw that Governor Kim's mood had stabilized, and advised him not to get too excited.
Governor Jin endured all kinds of sadness and excitement and finally listened to the report of the staff in front of him, although he had a certain amount of mental preparation for the loss of the harbor, but when he heard that more than a dozen ships had sunk, and the warships had been hijacked.
Governor Kim was still so heartbroken by the huge loss that he almost couldn't support it anymore. However, in order to do the reconstruction of the harbor as quickly as possible, and at the same time to grasp the first-hand information as soon as possible, Governor King finally had to climb out of the hospital bed, and he had to go to the port to have a look, or he would be really uneasy.
Governor King's convoy slowly drove into Victoria Harbour, and now the big fires in the harbor have been extinguished, but there are still a few unsunken ships at sea, and small puffs of black smoke still rise from time to time.
Looking at the wretched harbor, Governor King couldn't believe that everything in front of him was real. Yesterday morning, he had come here and boarded the Sir Trumpet to invite the two distinguished guests to his dinner.
It's good now, but there is no news of people on the boat. Governor Kim believed that this must have been a premeditated kidnapping. He must report the matter to the British Empire as quickly as possible. Now, with his authority, he can no longer handle such a big incident. It had to be handled by the king himself.
Governor Jin returned to the Governor's Palace, and Li Tie had just woken up. When Li Tie knew that such a big thing had happened in the harbor, he was extremely shocked.
In order to appease the people of Hong Kong, Li Tie said on the spot that if he did not return to Shanghai first, he would stay and help Governor Jin tide over this difficult time, and make a greater contribution to the reconstruction of the harbor.
Because a large number of seaport facilities have been burned, it takes a lot of money to salvage shipwrecks or clean up seaways, or to rebuild seaport facilities. The Hong Kong government has just handed over the newly collected taxes, and it simply does not have the extra money in its hands to do these things.
Of course, Li Tie couldn't watch Governor Jin embarrassed, and he took care of the salvage of the sunken ship. Anyway, it's a scrap ship, and Li Tie doesn't need any salvage fees, just give him all these scrap ships and let him tow them to the shipyard in Huaxing, Hong Kong to rebuild them.
As for the facilities that were burned down in the port, they should not be repaired, but simply rebuilt, in view of the fact that the harbor was attacked by unknown armed elements.
Li Tie suggested that a few 360-degree coastal defense guns should be built around the harbor in case there was any idea of an unknown force attacking the harbor in the future. Of course, Governor Kim strongly agreed, but this coastal defense artillery is a sharp weapon that the state is not allowed to export, and he has no right to buy it.
Li Tie said that this was not a problem, as long as Governor Kim issued a procurement certificate on behalf of the Hong Kong Governor's government, Li Tie could buy from Germany and France. Rest assured, you will definitely buy the best and most practical shore defense artillery. If there is an enemy in the future, let's bomb the fuck.
As for all other renovations of the port, Li Tie promised that they would be built according to the latest and most advanced facilities. Governor Kim was also in a hurry to go to the telegraph office to send a telegram to China, so he entrusted Li Tie with carte blanche for the reconstruction of Victoria Harbour.
Li Tie promised that he would fully fund the funds, and the money used would be deducted from their Huaxing taxes later. Governor Jin stood in front of the gate of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion and held Li Tie's hand tightly: "Fate! ”
He swore that Li Tie was a noble person sent by God to Governor Jin, and he Li Tie would be Governor Jin's lifelong friend.
Li Tie took Wang Qi and Du Bingmu to send Governor Jin into the car. watched Governor Kim leave with a grateful face. Li Tie put down his waving hand, looked at Wang Qi and Du Bing who were looking back, and then turned his gaze into the distance:
"Am I being hypocritical?" Li Tie asked in a deep tone.
Doberman shrugged and said it didn't matter. Wang Qi was more realistic: "Well, there is a little bit. ”
Li Tie: "Huh? After a while, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Qi: "I can't speak, your bonus this month is gone." ”
"Ah, why?" Wang Qi was surprised.
"Passive sabotage." After Li Tie finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Wang Qi looked at Du Bin in surprise: "Why don't you help me speak?" ”
"Ahem. Li Tie's heart is a little small, you won't know, right? ”
"And you still haven't reminded me?"
"I love watching you eat turtles." After speaking, Dubin also caught up with Li Tie in style.
"Okay, you Doberman, don't you run, haven't you always wanted to talk to me? Come on, I've got time now, and we're going to get over it. Wang Qi strode after the car that was about to start.
Li Tie and his entourage returned to the branch hall of the Axe Gang in a car, and as soon as they entered the branch hall, the whole Axe Gang was under martial law inside and out. Li Tie took Wang Qi and Du Bing into the underground secret room, where the gopher and the golden mouse were guarding in front of a radio station. More than a dozen messages full of text had been placed in front of the station.
Seeing Li Tie and a few people coming in, the gopher hurriedly got up to greet Li Tie. Li Tie asked with concern, "How are things going?" Nothing went wrong, right? ”
"Report to my uncle, everything is going well, four warships have sailed to the secret base on Hainan Island overnight, and four submarines have also dived back to the warehouse in the industrial city to stand by.
All the personnel involved in the operation, except for the black university detachment, had two minor injuries. The rest of the special combat team members did not suffer any casualties. The gopher said happily.
"Oh, that's great. I didn't expect this operation to be so perfect. Don't look at me lying on Governor Kim's bed and pretending to sleep, in fact, I didn't sleep well all night.
I'm always worried that there will be an accident, and then we won't be able to gain more than we lose. By the way, have you found out what the big guys are on the cruiser Jazz? ”
"Not yet, but I know that there are two young men, whose names are Dehua and George. However, it may also be a pseudonym, and when they arrive at the secret base in Hainan, there are ways to make them tell the truth. But there's great news for you. "The gopher is already laughing and can't see his eyes.
"Oh, what's the good news?" Li Tie asked curiously.
"They found a whole boatload of money and jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and a large amount of cash in the bottom compartment of the Sir Da." Said the gopher.
"What? How so? Have you found out? How many? Li Tie was surprised.
"Hehe, there are too many things, and I haven't had time to count them yet. I can only wait until I get to the base to carry it and count it again. ”
"Well, that's fine. It's a windfall. Li Tie nodded.
"Uncle, I found out that you may really be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!" The gopher smiled very flatteringly.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Li Tie was stunned for a moment.
"You see, every time you act casually with you, you can get a lot of money. Let's not mention the bombing of the villa. Just looking at the pile of gold a few days ago, it is enough for us to spend a few lifetimes.
You see, this time, it was supposed to blow up and sink all the warships to avenge the people of our Wan County. Who knew that if you changed your plan casually, you not only got four warships for nothing, but also got a shipload of gold, silver and jewelry.
Although it has not been counted yet, I have not seen how much of this treasure is. However, only listening to the scene of the bottom warehouse piled up in the black report, it must be a lot more than the more than 100 tons of gold. "The gopher is already full of golden light.
It turned out that the warship Jazz was the ship responsible for the British government's annual collection of the fat and ointment of the colonies. At this time, British colonies were spread all over the country.
The Jazz sails from England every March, first through Africa, then through India, then through Hong Kong, and finally through Australia, and each colony collects the taxes that the colony is due for the previous year.
After a year's round-the-world journey, the warship collected taxes from most of the world's colonies, and returned to England in January to pay taxes. In March of the following year, another crew member was dispatched to the east again.
This is repeated, because of the frequent encounters of pirates and various natives along the way, so the Jazz is the largest cruiser in Britain at present, and it is also the most powerful armored cruiser, and it is called the giant of the sea like the battleship, but unfortunately this giant should not be napped, and as a result, the man and the ship were easily captured.
