In the early morning, a cold wind blowing from the Bering Strait shrouded the entire Gulf of Alaska in a fog.

At this moment, no one wants to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, but the atmosphere is tense, no one wants to sail in such ghost weather, even if Long Guozhang has grown up on the water since childhood, he is still cautious at the moment, for fear of making mistakes.

The sails had been lowered, replaced by the characteristic roar of the steam engine, which was clearly safer to propel in such weather.

"Left car into three, slow down, hold five knots."

Long Guozhang shouted at the white iron pipe, although the telephone has been invented in recent years, and some powerful countries have also begun to install telephones on warships to facilitate internal communication, but Rudolph is obviously unwilling to spend this kind of unjust money, so he still uses the iron pipe to transmit sound.

But at the moment, even if Rudolph wants to spend money, he can't come up with a penny. And all of this must start with the gold rush in the western United States.

Thomas's adoptive father was a gold digger, and now that the gold rush in the western United States is fading, he has always believed that there is a world-class gold mine hidden in the wider northern Canada and Alaska, and for this dream, he has to move between cold Alaska and Canada for two years.

The hard work paid off, and finally one day, Thomas Sr. found a huge gold mine on the Yukon River tributary that runs through northern Canada and Alaska, but he himself accidentally injured his legs and was worried about the safety of his adopted son in England alone, so he had to go back to England to recuperate.

Half a year later, Thomas Sr. finally recovered from his injuries, so he took his adopted son with him, and also contacted his friend Rudolph to hire his ship to go to Canada to continue his gold mining dream. Unexpectedly, after Rudolph learned the secret of the big gold mine, he was greedy and ready to tie up Thomas and his son overnight and ask for the address of the gold mine before killing them, but he didn't expect that after the old Thomas knew that he had leaked his mouth, he had been guarding against Rudolph, and finally there was a conflict, and the old Thomas was outnumbered and killed.

Because he was afraid that the matter would leak out, Rudolph caught Thomas Jr. on the ship overnight, and then went to Germany to buy a large number of machinery and supplies, and from his younger brother who served in the German Navy, he got sixty Mauser that had just left the factory and a large number of bullets and explosives, so he took his crew to deliberately detour through the Suez Canal and went to Canada from the Far East, but when he entered the Yellow Sea, he realized that mining required a large number of people, so he became a temporary pirate until he caught enough labor and continued to set sail.

But he never imagined that he had worked hard for so long and spent all his savings to buy materials and machinery, and finally fell into the hands of the "piglets" who should have been enslaved by him.

Watching Thomas lying on the table, sketching out the map that his adoptive father had made him memorize, Li Mo had the urge to laugh for three days.

Without him, just because there is no one in this world who is more familiar with the road on the map than him, the only self-funded trip he made in his previous life was when he was studying in the United States, he participated in the activity called "Re-walking the Gold Rush Road", more than ten old gold mining sites, a few gold mines that are still in high production, plus a lot of information that he was curious to consult.

God brought him back to this damn era, but opened another door for him! "Do you want to keep some for someone else?" Li Mo wanted to laugh, but when he saw that Thomas had stopped drawing and had been busy all day before he sketched a rough idea, he was really impatient, so he grabbed the pencil and drew it for him.

Thomas felt a light in his hand, only to find that the pen had been snatched away, and his body was also squeezed to the side, although he was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to resist, just watched silently, for fear of provoking this little evil star!

But soon, his pupils began to dilate, and as the lines on the canvas became denser and denser, and the names of places were marked one by one, Thomas couldn't believe his eyes, knowing that the map in his mind had been accumulated little by little by his adoptive father over the course of two years, and what did he see now?

"God? Have you been there? In the end, he couldn't help himself and exclaimed.

A twelve-year-old boy in a country that was considered feudal and backward actually painted a record two years older than Thomas, no, even adding up all the maps in the hands of all the gold diggers in the entire river basin, I am afraid that it is not as detailed as the map in front of him! The gold mines that have been marked in detail are the legendary "miracles"?! How else would he know so much? And judging by his expression, it doesn't look like a random graffiti.

"Damn, if I can get this picture......!"

Thomas's eyes widened, and a burning heat emanated from his throat that he didn't even understand, forgetting even the fact that he was still a prisoner.

In the end, Li Mo gave up the idea of continuing to sketch, not because he didn't want to, but because it was too long, his memory was a little vague, and his heart was not enough, so he had to shake his head at the gold rush map that Thomas considered a "miracle".

"If only there was satellite remote sensing!" Li Mo secretly took a sip, came back to his senses, and saw Thomas, whose eyes were about to pop out, suddenly the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, deliberately in front of the other party, unhurriedly rolled up the map, and said with a smile: "Mr. Thomas, do you see that I drew accurately?" ”

"Exactly?" Thomas, who was almost drooling at the map, didn't come back to his senses when he saw that the damn map was being rolled up little by little, and his chest seemed to be stuffed with hundreds of wild cats at once, but when the corner of his eyes swept to the guard standing at the door, he instantly regained his composure and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Indeed, at this time, no one knew exactly what it was worth, and even after the discovery of gold mines in 1896, no one understood what a miracle they had discovered!

However, Li Mo was not worried, and it could be seen from the fanatical light in the eyes of the young Jewish man in front of him that in his bones, there was the obsession of all Jews with money and wealth, otherwise this nation would not have so many terrible names.

"Well, Mr. Thomas, how about we talk about business?"

"Business?" Thomas's eyes lit up, but thinking of the current situation, he dimmed again in an instant, looked at the picture scroll in the other party's hand, and only after a good opportunity did he puff up a tentative saying: "Aren't you going to execute me?" ”

"Kill you?" Li Mo smiled slyly and said, "No, dear Mr. Thomas, I am not a butcher, not an executioner. I think you should see that, according to the British Empire, I should be at least a nobleman, and if I can return to my country, I can live a privileged life. Then he put on a gritted tooth look, and continued to flicker: "But this is all ruined by the damned Rudolph, this damn fellow, he caused me to have to kill people for my own safety, and I had to wander in a foreign land and come here." ”

"Still." Suddenly, there was a pause in the words, and Young Master Li waved the map scroll in his hand and smiled mysteriously: "I also want to thank him, it was he who gave me the opportunity to get you!" Got this map! I thought I could create a big scene together! ”

"Thanks to him? Still a big scene? Looking at the map shaking in front of him, Thomas felt dizzy, and although he wanted to grab it, he gave up considering the force value of both sides at the moment. He wasn't stupid, and the Jew's peculiar sensitivity to interest made him understand how much of a stake was involved.

"Yes, as you know, my country is in crisis, and although I can't change history, I hope to change the fate of everyone around me." Li Mo waved his hand fiercely: "Including yours!" ”

"What if I refuse?"

"Would you say no?" Li Mo smiled, revealing Sensen's white teeth: "I think the icy sea water will make you make the right choice." ”

The atmosphere in the room was cold all of a sudden, Li Mo didn't speak, Thomas didn't speak either, the two looked at each other like this, until Zhao Long and Chen Ping at the door thought something was wrong and came in to check, and then broke the silence.

When Zhao Long's cold, razor-like gaze swept over Thomas, he finally lowered his head and sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner. "Well, I'll admit, you won."

With the glittering map scroll on one side, the icy waters, and the bayonets, Thomas suddenly found himself like a fish that had been fished out of the water and then thrown into the desert, and had no choice but to gasp for breath and beg the angler to take him away.

"Trust me, time will tell how right your choice is today! You will be the world's most watched mining tycoon! Li Mo helped Thomas, who was already weak.

"Since you can't change it, then go with it and dig into the best interest." Thomas remembered what his mentor had said to him, looked at the young man in front of him, thought for a moment, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I want thirty percent!" ”

"Haha, I believe it, you are indeed Jewish!" Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "And it's the kind of Jew who wants money and doesn't want to die!" ”

"So you said yes?" After letting go of all the baggage, Thomas regained his usual shrewdness and hurriedly asked.

"Five percent at most!" Li Mo bared his teeth and cracked his mouth: "My people are better than you...... Many! ”

"Lots of people? It's better to say that the fist is bigger! Thomas secretly scolded Li Mo for being shameless, and nodded. There's no way, who let the little life still be in the hands of others, even if he chooses to cooperate, he knows that he really doesn't have much say now.

Thomas gritted his teeth, saw Li Mo take out a piece of paper from his arms, and suddenly said: "Rudolph, a German, his younger brother Rudolph-Arthur served in the German Navy with the rank of colonel, and his elder brother was a merchant ....... ”

Glancing at Thomas, Li Mo waved his hand to Chen Ping at the door and said, "Take Mr. Thomas to visit Captain Rudolph, and write down all the information about the addresses, families, and friends of those pirates." ”

These words were said in English, so Chen Ping also knew that the young master was saying it to Thomas next to him, but the question was, "What do you want these things for?" Do you want to extort a ransom like a kidnapper! ”

Without waiting for Chen Ping and Thomas to solve their doubts, they heard Li Mo continue to say in English: "After the statistics are completed, all the information will be handed over to Fu Bo for safekeeping!" As soon as they enter the river, all the prisoners will be executed! ”

Looking at Li Mo, who was stretching his waist, Thomas felt chills all over his body, because when the other party said these words again, his demeanor and expression were as casual as saying what to eat tonight. And when another sentence came, his recovered body and mind fell into the abyss again.

"By the way, give Mr. Thomas a gun, I think he's more than willing to execute those guys himself!"

Hearing this, Thomas's face changed completely, he couldn't believe his ears, such a vicious method was actually thought up by the young man in front of him. You must know that as long as the information is in Li Mo's hands for a day, he will not be able to get rid of his control for a day. If he resists, then I am afraid that he will spend the rest of his life hunted by the families of these sailors and the Rudolph family.

"You bastard! Devil! Thomas roared.

"Thanks for the compliment." Li Mo didn't mind, but thought of another matter, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Thomas, since we are now collaborators, can you show me your Jewish parchment?" ”

Thomas, "......"

Soon, Thomas was taken away by Zhao Long, and when he saw the two leaving, Chen Ping expressed his doubts: "Young master, why do you want to cooperate with Thomas?" We can dig up the gold mine ourselves! ”

Li Mo smiled.

Chen Ping is very smart, grew up in the UK, and even studied at the Naval Academy for a few years, but in Li Mo's opinion, he still lacks some necessary overall vision and cannot see the current situation clearly.

However, Li Mo was not in a hurry, he had enough time to slowly train the real right-hand man, so he patiently explained: "Do you know how many mineral deposits there are? And we need something other than gold mines, just those of us, even if we don't eat or drink, how much gold can we transport? And don't forget, we're going to Canada, and there are powerful Americans not far away. ”

"This is a world surrounded by great powers, and when you don't have enough power, gold and wealth can only become the prey of others, and what we have to do now is to hide these things behind other people's backs until we have enough power. At that time, we will sweep the world! ”

The voice was smooth and deep, but when Chen Ping heard it, his heart was suddenly shocked, ambition! In these few words, it is clear that when everyone is dazzled by gold and wealth, the young man in front of him has already stood on the top of a peak that he can't even see, looking down on the world!

Chen Ping's eyes changed, but he didn't know, there was another thing Li Mo didn't say, in addition to Thomas's British identity, what really made him decide was Thomas's Jewish identity, which was a terrible interest group, and he only needed to support Thomas and let him enter that world. Then in the future, as long as you wipe your ass clean, even if it is an American political axe, you will not dare to easily put your hand here.

"I need a big tree to keep out the wind and rain."

The moment Chen Ping left, he heard muttering from the room.
