Chapter 140: Do You Want Us to Be Emperors? Then go and vote!
Ding! Boom!
On the east coast of Panama, it used to be a very busy port, where goods from the east of the Pacific Ocean would be unloaded, then loaded, and then walked to California or the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, but now, two strangely shaped 'big iron fish' are parked in the dock, and there is a metal crashing sound from time to time.
"This place only needs to be changed like this, and then the Erikson will be much more flexible in its steering."
"Well, worthy of Mr. Thomson, you are really erudite."
Thomson and Erikson were talking to a drawing, and it was clear that even the old drunkard Erikson admired the scientist who was much younger than him.
"In addition, we can also improve that torpedo, replace the original air compression with a thermodynamic force, the gas is good, it can be ......"
"Mr. Thomson, you are simply amazing!"
In the face of Erikson's praise, Thomson also blushed, "Actually, this is Miss Dupont's idea, I just proposed a little bit of it, not a lot." β
"Hah! You are too modest. Erickson took a sip of his wine.
"Gentlemen, please don't talk about a woman behind your back, okay?" Elena. DuPont, who was also working in the dockyard at this time, was dressed in a shoddy suit, and she also dressed as a man, mainly because if she was engaged in heavy industry at this time, she really didn't know what kind of clothes women wore well, no way, there are still very few jobs that women can do now.
"Yes, we weren't gentlemanly enough." Thomson, a well-known scholar, also apologized.
Actually, Thomson didn't want to study any torpedoes, because that thing was a killing weapon, and he could help transform the ship, because an ironclad like the Erickson, in this era, is really too sci-fi, which is very attractive to Thomson.
Scholars, however, sometimes like to argue about issues, and he was arguing with Elena two days ago, so he intervened in the torpedo and said, 'Why use compressed air?' How good is it to generate power from burning gas? It's his field of study, he's everyone, and the result is ......
Science still comes together with murderous weapons!
"Ha, I said Elena...... By the way, I've always wanted to ask, why haven't you been happy lately? "I have to say that although Eriksen, an old drunkard, is a good drinker, his eyes are still relatively bright, and there is something wrong with him.
"I'm fine!" Yelena's tone wasn't too good.
"Haha! Well, it's me who meddles. Erikson simply pulled Thomson, and Thomson also understood that women at this time should not be provoked.
Of course, Yelena was in a bad mood, on the one hand, she felt that she had been deceived, and when she was in Cuba, that bastard said so righteously, and as a result, she took this place in Panama!
On the other hand, it's still deception, only this time it's because that bastard actually has a woman!
This is even more unbearable!
In fact, Yelena herself knew that she was afraid that she would fall in love with that bastard very early, so this kind of deception would hurt even more, but now she noticed some other problems, that is......
Clint. This bastard Li may really be going to be the emperor!
"Gentlemen! Oh, and my lovely niece. "At this moment, a man came in the dockyard, and this gentleman was wearing a U.S. Navy uniform, none other than Samuel. DuPont.
"Hah! My big fish! Erikson quipped.
"Haha......" Samuel. DuPont wasn't impressed.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" In fact, until now, Elena can't figure out why her uncle suddenly changed direction, thinking that Clint . Lee, this guy is fine.
"Hello, Mr. DuPont." Thomson, on the other hand, is neither humble nor arrogant.
These, Samuel. DuPont didn't care, he had something to do this time, "Everyone is here, I'll just say it, this time, I'm mainly announcing one thing, that is, our ** Army Generalissimo Clint. Mr. Li, he wants to hold a vote, and this vote will only be conducted within our ** army. β
"Vote?" Everyone in the dockyard couldn't figure out why this was the vote?
"Uncle, why are we voting?" This question for Yelena is fine.
"Well, I'm going to talk about that." Samuel. DuPont smiled slightly, and then said: "The purpose of this vote is whether we agree with the generalissimo of the ** army, Clint. Mr. Li, is it possible to become an emperor? β
"Emperor?!"
As soon as the word came out, everyone was stupid, especially Thomson, Erickson, and Yelena, as for the other workers.
"Oh God! Clint. Is Mr. Lee going to be the emperor? β
"Generalissimo is not enough to be emperor?"
"That ......"
"I don't think it's anything, as long as Clint . . . Mr. Li is still leading us! β
"Yes, isn't Napoleon also an emperor? After Napoleon swept across Europe, then Mr. Li became the emperor, ha! We have a chance to sweep the Americas! β
"I support Clint. Mr. Lee! Emperor! Of course he did! β
"I support it too!"
These workers are mainly ** soldiers, in fact, they are shipbuilders in Rhode Island, who pays their salaries? And the treatment has always been good, so, of course, they will support Clint. Lee.
This is the attitude of the workers, but what about the scientists like Thomson?
"Humph!" Thomson snorted coldly, "The ** is going to become a tyrant!" β
Cyrus who has been watching the play next to him. Field couldn't take it anymore, and his legs were a little weak, "Mr. Thomson, you can be quiet. β
"What the hell am I afraid of?!" Thomson's neck is stiff, and then he looks at Erikson.
What is Eriksen's attitude?
"This ......" Erikson was embarrassed to look at, because he eats people's short mouths!
Yes, your money comes from Clint. Lee, and then you're full now and scolding the cook?
"Hey~" Thomson sighed, where did he not understand?
"Uncle!" At this time, Yelena spoke, "What's your attitude?" β
Hey, this question is very interesting, Elena didn't show her attitude, but looking at her face, she obviously didn't support it, so what was the attitude of the other one in the Dupont family?
"Me? Haha...... "Samuel. DuPont smiled and continued, "I support it!" I'm very supportive! Clint. A person like Mr. Li, if he is just a marshal, it will be too condescending! β
What do you say......
"Oh! Mr. Dupont is a reasonable man! β
"Mr. DuPont, you deserve to be from the DuPont family!"
It's really funny, the workers are supporting on the one hand, and ridiculing on the other.
However, Samuel. DuPont didn't care, "In this world, the strong are respected!" Clint. Mr. Li is the strongest of the strong, and under his leadership, we can naturally move from one victory to another! β
That's a quote from Clint. Lee said it!
βALL-HAIL-LEEοΌβ
βALL-HAIL-LEEοΌβ
βALL-HAIL-LEEοΌβ
The workers immediately shouted slogans!
Yelena stomped her foot and ran straight out.
"Niece, why are you going?" Samuel. DuPont was puzzled.
"I'm going to scold that bastard!" Yelena's voice came, and she didn't look back.
But the expressions of these people in the dock were so strange......
The Panama City Dockyard thing, this is just a microcosm, and now the ** army in Panama City is voting everywhere, and the most prosperous is to say 50 miles to the southeast.
"Everyone, work hard! Don't be lazy! β
It's April, but it's also hot at the latitude of Panama, so this place is really sweaty.
What for?
Dig the fortifications! Trenches!
Matthew. McConaughey is now completely a foreman, and this guy is carrying a bottle of wine, and anyone who doesn't work hard will lose two sentences. This place is the selected Panamanian defense line!
There are two main defensive fronts in Panama formulated by Li Mengyang, one is here, and the defense is New Granada. The other is 50 miles to the northwest, where Mexico is defended.
Anyway, it's a trench, this tactic is absolutely OK in this era, especially with the blessing of machine guns, it's simply an iron wall.
And now for this project, Matthew is also very concerned, so many days, he also saw the importance of this Panama, a lot of goods, on both sides, the amount is huge, all have to pass from Panama, then he will lie down and count the money in the future, so, this place must be occupied, no one will fucking give!
Hold on, there is no problem now, there are trenches on land, and there are two ironclad ships at sea, as far as these South American countries are concerned, one is counted as one, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Matthew was delighted, Clint. This guy Li didn't lie to him, but ......
"General McConaughey! I'm here to herald! "A herald has come.
"What's the matter?"
"Clint. Generalissimo Lee's order, he wants to do a vote, is a vote on whether he can be emperor or not! β
Soldiers, it's relatively brief, but this vote.
"Emperor?" As soon as Matthew heard the word, his eyes lit up.
"Brothers! Clint. Mr. Li said that he wanted to be the emperor! Do we support him or not?! β
Hey, when this word reached Matthew's mouth, it immediately changed its taste.
But but!
"Emperor? Clint. Generalissimo Lee? I support! β
"Great! It's long overdue! Clint. Mr. Li is the emperor, he is Napoleon! Then I can continue to win! β
"That's right! I support! Who doesn't support it? Stand out! β
"Who the wouldn't support that? Only a hillbilly would do such a stupid thing! β
In fact, most of the ** army used to be hillbillies, but now they are ** army...... However, the results are already in.
"Go back and sue SΓΉ Clint. Li, my subordinates and me, all support him as emperor! β
The herald was immediately stupid, because he wanted to get a vote, and all the votes were brought, this ......
"You just vote for it yourself! We've got work to do! β
When the emperor still has to vote, and this vote is too weird...... R1152
