145 William's Grand Meeting aboard the William

On a Sunday, March 1917, the weather was sunny and the wind was pleasant. On the high seas, 100 miles outside of New York, a cruise ship slowly sails toward Long Island Harbor.

The oncoming sea breeze, with a faint fishy smell, blew away last night's dreams and made people feel refreshed. A tall man stood at the bow of the boat, holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, and shook it gently, looking at the blue Atlantic Ocean, there was an indescribable chic.

As if in contemplation, he faced the sea, swinging his chest and feeling proud, as if he dominated this piece of heaven and earth. After a while, he muttered: "This is a historic day, and from then on we are going to glory"

"Ah, boss, it turns out that you ran out early in the morning to blow the sea breeze."

At this time, a rude voice came from behind to break the quiet and leisurely mood.

Situ Nan came back to his senses, looked back, and said with a slight smile: "Gedas, why did you get up so early?" Don't sleep more? You weren't tired last night, were you? ”

"Hehe, boss, you got up so early, why am I embarrassed to lie in bed, besides, I'm in great health, last night? Hey? Gedas said triumphantly.

He did spend a ridiculous night on the boat last night, and the corners of his mouth cracked unconsciously when he thought of the two tender little Ukrainian beauties, and saliva fell from above little by little.

"It's okay to think about anything, my saliva is pouring out." Situ Nan looked at Gedas angrily. He still remembers that when he was looking for an oil field in Texas, the shrewd and cunning coachman also had the same obscene smile on his face as he does now, and he has not changed.

"Hehe" Gedas wiped his hand on his chin, the standard middle-aged uncle's smile, Situ Nan really thought that the two *** last night were not worth it

Pig arch cabbage, he thought to himself. If it weren't for the fact that during this time, Gedas's hard work would have kicked this guy into the sea.

Situ Nan shook his head, walked to the chair on the deck and lay down, took a sip of wine, and relaxed his mood.

"This time it was a good job, and it was worth it to buy 15 ships with a total of 200,000 tons from the Germans, and it cost less than $15 million."

"Hehe" Gedas smiled proudly, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and said with a smile, "At first, those Germans were quite tough, and they said that they wouldn't sell them if they were killed."

These people are not stupid, now that the shipping market is booming, their ships are also valuable, even if they can't run the routes of Europe and the United States, they just refuse to let it go, and would rather rot in their hands

Hans and I talked to him, but he was still indifferent. In particular, Hans, the unlucky guy who encouraged the German merchant shipowners to sell their ships to the Americans, was about to be pointed at his compatriots and scolded the 'German traitor', who didn't know that the Americans and the British wore half pants? Well, the other half is worn on the French.

However, since the Zimmerman incident, things have taken a dramatic turn. The White House finally did something decent, yesterday it was a warning, today it is a protest, the tone is getting harsher and harsher each time, and the newspapers are everywhere advocating war with Germany, isn't it? The Germans got anxious and asked if we wanted their boats, and they were willing to sell them at a low price.

Two days after Hans and I chilled the gang, the guys were almost crying and were going to sell us the merchant ships. Haha, it's so funny. You don't know, those people talk so insensitively, and the 'traitor' Hans has suddenly become their respected compatriot again, haha-"

"Who do you say 'traitor'?" suddenly a voice sounded in the ears of Gedas.

Well, there seems to be some murderous aura, which makes Guddars's arrogant laughter come to an abrupt end.

"It's Hans, by the way, did you sleep well last night? It's a nice day today," Gedas looked at the rest of the matter, obviously pretending to be garlic.

"I slept very well, but when I woke up early in the morning, I heard a certain crow's mouth say 'moral traitor'? I kind of want to flatten him, do you think it's okay? Hans grimaced, stinky and clucked his fingers.

Gedas compared the size of the two sides, and found that the gap was still quite large, and his tone was weaker: "Isn't this a mistake?" Hans, don't be so stingy, I've helped you a lot this time."

"That's your job, isn't it? And next time, don't blame me for being disobedient," Hans said hatefully, buying his country's merchant ships and using them against his own country was a very difficult decision for Hans, who had been educated in Prussia since childhood.

The word "traitor" that Gedas said deeply pierced the heart of this Germanic man, and although it did not affect his actions, it felt uncomfortable after all.

"Alright, Hans, early in the morning, be happy, don't think so much" Situ Nan smiled and poured Hans a glass of wine, "This time you have done a great job, especially Hans, your efforts are obvious to all." I salute you with this cup."

"Thank you." Hans was a little flattered, and after a glass of wine, he felt much better, and then took another sip.

"I'm going to register a shipping company in Panama to specialize in the Atlantic route. The Americans are going to war, and we, the shipping companies, will follow. Although there are some risks, I think it's worth it.

By the way, according to the agreement, each of you will receive a commission of 5 of the money saved in this plan, and now you are given two options, one is cash, and the other is that these incentives are discounted for shares in the new company. ”

Situ Nan said.

He had just thought a lot about the bow of the ship, and he had also considered the follow-up plan for the acquisition of German merchant ships.

At first, because of the German submarines, the shipping company in California kept running the Pacific route and the South American route, and did not dare to go to Europe.

Now that Gedas and Hans have taken advantage of the US government's move to buy a number of German merchant ships stranded in the United States at a low price, Situ Nan's thinking has also changed somewhat.

The Pacific route is also a little saturated now, and it can't digest so many ships at once, so it can only run the route from the east and west coasts of the United States.

This idea is quite good, if it was before, Situ Nan would definitely not hesitate to carry it out, but after and the Roosevelt family
