Chapter II
Li Fei, who had been killed, came to the United States in the twenties in a flying machine produced by Titan, dressed in a suit, and spent energy points to turn into a white man and came to the bank in Chicago.
All for US dollar checks, all of them. Li Fei threw the box onto the counter and said in extremely fluent American English.
The clerk of the bank opened the box, and inside it was dazzling gold.
Okay, you wait. The clerk said respectfully, and then Li Fei was invited to the special lounge, and the bank clerk respectfully poured a cup of coffee.
Half an hour later, Li Fei appeared on the streets of New York with a huge amount of money in his arms, for the sake of safety, Li Fei used different white faces, respectively, in the banks of several states in the United States to exchange 50 tons of gold for US dollars, after all, if the British and Japanese found a little clue, he would be frantically hunted down, now is not the time to single out the world.
With a large amount of US dollars, Li Fei started his own big purchase plan.
Mr. Wilson, you are truly my lucky star. A certain big farmer said gratefully, because Li Fei had just bought all the grain on his farm, even the tractor on his farm.
No need to look for it. Li Fei threw the check to him and left in style.
In addition to food, Li Fei also bought a large number of trucks, gasoline, beef, milk, machinery and equipment.
These things were something that the Titans could not produce for him, and he could only buy them, and China in this era lacked everything.
A few days later, Li Fei arrived in Shanghai on a steamer, his current identity is a returned Chinese, graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and the fake certificate made by the Titans is no different from the real one, and at the same time, Li Fei also burned all the archives and records of West Point, even if the United States investigates, it is difficult to find out whether Li Fei has been to West Point.
Two warships flying the flag of the rising sun passed in the distance, and one fishing boat did not have time to dodge being smashed by the warship.
This is an era of weak countries without diplomacy, and the humiliation of this era is not something that modern people can experience, as if the police in the distance did not see it.
Now that I'm here, I'm going to change all that. Li Fei spat at the Japanese warship and said.
After getting off the boat, Li Fei hired a rickshaw and found a hotel run by a Frenchman to stay.
One serving of roasted foie gras, two servings of steak, a bottle of red wine, and more than your tip. Li Fei generously threw a stack of dollars to the waiter in Annan.
By the way, send me the last month's newspaper again, Li Fei threw a handful of dollars again and said.
Okay sir, if you want to see which newspaper is it, I'll go get it. Annan waiter said respectfully.
Have a copy, if you don't have enough money, you can't be angry. Li Fei said casually.
Enough, enough. The Annan people trotted away, for fear that Li Fei would regret it.
The best foie gras red wine and steak, Li Fei didn't bother to grab the food with a knife and fork and watch it while eating.
The newspaper office in this time and space is no different from the newspaper office of the Republic of China in his time and space, the same is such as declaration, Ta Kung Pao, etc., but the content on it is completely different from that of another time and space, and Li Fei was dumbfounded when he saw the news.
The Qing Emperor announced that he would purchase a new fleet from Japan at a price of 60 million silver dollars to form the Royal Navy and hire Japanese instructors for training, the Qing Emperor would purchase Japanese weapons and attach them to the army and hire instructors from the Kwantung Army for training, and the Japanese Empire announced that it would send two more divisions to Manchuria at the invitation of the Qing Emperor.
The Beiyang government and the Shendu government reached a rapprochement, the two sides took the Yellow River as the boundary of the truce, the Nanjing government announced the purchase of decommissioned warships Agincourt and Benbao from Britain into the First Fleet of the Navy, the armistice of Guangxi Li and the Guangdong Chen Inspector, the Yunnan Zhao warlord purchased a large amount of equipment from France, the Sichuan warlords reorganized the army, the Chengdu Arsenal announced the manufacture of M1917 water-cooled machine guns and Chuntian rifles licensed from the United States, and the Taiyuan Arsenal succeeded in manufacturing 155mm cannons.
What kind of thing is this, it's completely different, it's all 1922, it's all my 10th anniversary of the Qing Dynasty, how can it still exist, and it looks like it's hooking up with the Japanese quite deeply, and how these warlords look a lot better than those in the Republic of China, after all, no warlord in the Republic of China has ever bought a battleship, even if it is retired.
Sure enough, it's a parallel time and space, but it's different. Li Fei exclaimed.
The only thing that makes Li Fei unhappy is that the Japanese in this time and space are obviously much stronger than the Japan in his time and space, half a month ago, the Japanese emperor held the emperor's ship parade to inspect the combined fleet, and the combined fleet warships with the rising sun flag are densely hung on the photos to look frightening, and the text next to it says nineteen battleships, nine heavy cruisers, twenty-three light cruisers, one hundred and thirty-four destroyers, six coastal defense ships, four armored ships, and finally it is written that some warships did not participate, Although the Japanese counted battlecruisers as battleships, such a large scale should not be underestimated.
The Northeast has completely become the sphere of influence of the Japanese, the Qing Dynasty of this time and space did not fall but fled to Shengjing, that is, Shenyang, rebuilt the empire, relying on the Japanese to stabilize, and now the stabilized Manchu Qing spent a lot of money to buy weapons and warships from Japan to train new troops, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the Han warlords in the Central Plains to re-enter the customs like their ancestors.
