Villa Oliver?

The name is very Westernized, but it is also full of Western style.

The high walls are covered with roses, and the carriageway leads from the gate around the central lawn to the main entrance of the villa, and the flowerbed that occupies almost half of the villa area, blooming with a hundred flowers. Young Master Li drooled, grandma, dare to love the Hawaii Qingshan Villa that the young master bought at a great price, compared with others, it is nothing!

"Simmons? Is this your home? Like a curious baby, Master Li followed Simmons who greeted him, looking left and right, and his saliva was about to flow out.

“no~no！ The original owner of this place was an Englishman, and in order to thank the general for helping him recover the confiscated saltpeter mine, he lent it to the general for temporary use, and I only temporarily took care of it in the general's place. The bearded man shook his head, and the corners of his mouth looked triumphant.

"For the time being?! I see. Young Master Li nodded smartly, and put his middle finger up in his trouser pocket, look at others, fight as an agent of foreign devils, not only became president, but also got such a big manor.

it! The young master is still too tender, why don't you help the foreign devils fight next time?

But to help whom?

"Escrow?" Chen Ping on the side didn't have so many strange thoughts, his brows furrowed, and he didn't understand why the steady Monte would give such a large manor to Simmons? Is there something else between them? Hurriedly probed: "General Simmons, who are you and His Excellency the President?" ”

"Uncle, General Monte is my uncle." The bearded Simmons was straightforward, and it was no big deal to talk about his relationship with Monte at this time.

"This guy is hidden deep enough! It's despicable! "The young master wants to pull out his beard.

Raising the middle finger in his trouser pocket again, Li Mo smiled cruelly: "Bearded, you damn guy, why didn't you say it earlier!" Simmons was very proud and laughed: "Dear Li, is it too late to say it now?" ”

Late, of course late. I knew that you were Monte's nephew, and the young master directly tied up the ticket and dragged you to find Monte, and it was so laborious! Young Master Li walked beside him, squinting at this beard, and despised this guy who could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger more than the young master, it seemed that he was the first person Monte had placed in the navy and was ready to take his place.

However, seeing that this guy also said a lot of good things for himself, and it was through him that he thought of intervening in the Chilean Civil War and obtaining warships, so Master Li quickly forgave him in his heart, and if Simmons really became the head of the Chilean Navy in the future, it would also be a great help to himself!

If a few months ago, he could have been invited to have dinner with the dutiful and loyal General Monte who lived like a puritan, "drinking coffee without sugar, just because sugar is a strategic resource", and had a very strong personal charm, Master Li, a multi-turret cultist who was obsessed with battleships, would definitely try his best to get close, pat himself on the back, and ask the famous Chilean admiral to sign an autograph, but after experiencing the Chilean Civil War and witnessing this process, the aura of the famous Chilean admiral has faded.

Looking at the man sitting opposite, gently stirring the coffee with a silver spoon, still wearing a navy uniform, Li Mo always had a feeling that he couldn't speak, perhaps he was accustomed to the idea that the army would not interfere in politics in later generations, and he always had a little disdain for this figure who relied on the navy, borrowed foreign businessmen, betrayed national interests and staged a coup d'état to reach the pinnacle of life.

Perhaps the military coups that have occurred in Chile since then have been customary here?

As if sensing Li Mo's eyes, Monte Stirring Coffee Hand stopped, put the small spoon on the cup plate, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, are you still satisfied with the agreement between us?" ”

"Satisfied, it's just a little expensive." Young Master Li nodded, his tone was crisp, and his movements were elegant: "Thank you General for everything you have done for me and my country, I hope that one day you can go to my country, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of our country will be very willing to see you." ”

Heart! "Go, when you see Lafayette, say hello to me."

"Thank you, in fact, I really want to go and see what kind of magical land can give birth to a young genius like you." Li Mo's straightforwardness was so useful to Monte that he was very useful.

Of course, he will not go to the Far East at this moment, even if he has the heart, the current complicated situation in Chile cannot give him time to breathe, but he is also very curious about Li Mo. What kind of huge force is standing behind this young man who suddenly came to his side, brought 2,000 elite and fierce soldiers, and still threw a lot of money in Chile, bought warships, rented small islands, and bought mines, and seemed to have endless money in his pocket?

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers under his command were very self-disciplined at this moment, and cooperated with the navy to stay at the docks in Antofagaste and not show up, I am afraid that he and the congressmen would have been unable to sleep at night.

The thought of those soldiers made Monte feel hot all over, as a soldier, there was nothing more interesting to him than to discover a new way of fighting in the army, although he could not see it with his own eyes, but through little by little, he could still sketch such a picture in his mind.

Tender troops, young soldiers, quirky but highly effective individual maneuvers, new tactics and new equipment.

Compared with the junior officers who had seen the escort army, Monte was more calm, in terms of individual strength, he did not feel that Li Mo's command was stronger than his own marines, but this young man obviously mastered a new training method in his hands, which could help soldiers better adapt to war, if their skills were more proficient, and they would cooperate more tacitly.

Thinking of this, Monte was in a trance, Chile is not without external troubles, Peru and Bolivia are still eyeing saltpeter, and there are competitors like Argentina behind them, if it is not for the navy, I am afraid that they have already driven into Chilean territory with their army.

"It is always the Army that solves wars!" Thinking of the words of the young man in front of him, Monte felt as if his dream of a big navy had been smashed by something, it was ridiculous that he had lived for so many years, but he needed to rely on the reminder of this black-haired boy to see the nature of the war clearly.

"Maybe I'll do something differently." Thinking of this, Monte leaned forward slightly: "Mr. Li, I heard that your soldiers are all trained by you personally, and they are very brave, can you let them have an exercise with our marines?" ”

"Hypocrisy, if you like the young master's new training syllabus, just say it directly, it's not that it's not negotiable." Young Master Li deliberately frowned: "It turned out that it was okay, but something has happened in my country recently, and they need to return to China immediately." ”

Seeing a hint of disappointment flashing across Monte's face, Young Master Li continued to talk nonsense: "But I heard that the sea conditions have been bad recently, maybe I can stay for a few more days, and besides, I hope the general can purchase warships for me." ”

Straightforward, this young master of the Far East is so straightforward!

Monte cursed in his heart, and his eyes changed when he thought of the purchase list that Simmons had conveyed to him not long ago!

Two battleships, four large cruisers!

If it weren't for the three prerequisites that came with the plan, Monte might have thrown Li Mo into the sea first.

Besides, even if you say yes, do you have that much money? The sum of the six warships is probably close to four million pounds, and even the Chilean political axe is a bit of a headache if it wants to be taken out at this moment, let alone a young master from a family from the Far East.

"I have read the plan, and with all due respect, I cannot guarantee that the British will agree to this procurement plan, and I have asked some of the Admiralty some of my fellow Admiralty that according to your plan, the funds required for six such warships will be very huge."

"Money is not an issue." Young Master Li was too lazy to go around in circles, and waved his hand: "As long as I can buy a warship, I can pay some price." ”

"Help me train three thousand soldiers." Monte did not hesitate to say the price: "In addition, I need a promise that you will not interfere in our internal affairs in any way for three years." ”

Under the table, Young Master Li's toes touched Chen Ping slightly, it seemed that Monte had heard the rumors he had released, otherwise there would not have been the last sentence.

"Deal." ……
