"Young master, there is one more thing, I suspect that the British have already found out about Chile's secret order of warships!"

Chen Ping glared at poor Du Dazhuang, he understood the power of Young Master Li's tricks, and quickly changed the topic, as for whether to use tricks, or to find young and beautiful, or old and ugly, that one would discuss with the young master in private.

"Oh? How so? Li Mo picked up a piece of ham and bit it with relish.

Kicked Du Dazhuang, the latter hurriedly swept around vigilantly, Chen Pingcai said: "I'm not sure, but according to one of my classmates in a British shipyard, the Argentines have also secretly ordered two warships recently, and they have already started construction at the Newcastle shipyard, and on paper, they are almost exactly the same as our Polar Star, and they also require delivery in a year." I think it may have been that Britain deliberately told Argentina at the end of the construction period after revealing that Chile was building ships on a large scale. ”

Seeing Chen Ping's nervous face, Li Mo wanted to laugh, Duan Fei, this kid did a good job, he actually passed the news to the Argentines so quickly, it seems that after both sides of the Atlantic, there will be a small arms race in South America!

"Did that touch us?" Li Mo asked.

"Not really." Chen Ping said affirmatively: "This time with Simmons are some low-level officers, they don't know that Chile is building ships for us, and they all think that this is ordered by Chile itself, and when it was delivered that day, there were still many people who held a celebration!" ”

It's good that he didn't get involved, as for Simmons' method to hide it, this Li Mo couldn't care about it, seeing that Chen Ping was still so nervous, he told him that he asked Duan Fei to deliberately release the news to Argentina.

"Is this the message you put out? Why? Chen Ping looked at the young master, a little incomprehensible, aren't the Chileans full of cooperation? Why do you want to go to Argentina again? "Could it be that the young master is still not at ease with Monte?"

Li Mo nodded, his face became serious: "Argentina and Chile usually have some small frictions, and the two countries have been secretly hostile, although they haven't challenged Chile at sea, but it's hard to say on land!" I sent out the news in order to increase the hostility and turn the attention of the Chileans to the dispute with Argentina, instead of staring at us every day! ”

"Second." Li Mo smiled slightly: "You said that if they wait until the battleships ordered by Argentina return to China, they suddenly find that the original opponent's warships have been sold, then will they be so angry that they vomit blood?" ”

Chen Ping's eyes lit up, the young master was scheming! Two battleships, plus auxiliary warships, could not be raised at all with Argentina's current national strength, and if it weren't for the Chileans building ships on such a large scale, they would not have considered defeating their opponents at sea!

Now they gritted their teeth and ordered a large number of warships, but when these warships were built, they suddenly found that the opponent was not playing, and they had sold out all the capital ships, and then they were afraid that they would vomit blood with anger, you must know that with the current income of the Argentine political axe, it is already a great burden to build two 10,000-ton battleships, and with the entry into service of the battleships, it is also necessary to add supporting escort ships, and the follow-up ship maintenance funds are several times that of building ships.

Not to mention Argentina, even Chile, which is supported by saltpeter profits, will not be willing to raise such a large navy, if there is no threat from Chile, they will definitely be willing to sell these warships, and at that time their side suddenly expressed interest and willingness to take over, wouldn't it be able to add a new force to the fleet!

Even if Argentina does not sell these warships in the end, it will at least allow Chile to deepen cooperation with its side, because once it takes over all the warships, the Pacific Fleet will become a regional force that can change the situation, and as long as Monte is not a fool, this friendship will not be destroyed!

Thinking that maybe he could get a few battleships, Chen Ping was suddenly in a good mood, and took two sips of his wine glass. But there is one thing he still doesn't understand, why did the young master buy so many warships? As he just said, the maintenance and follow-up support of the huge fleet is an astronomical amount of money!

Li Mo leaned back in his chair and gently pushed away the empty dinner plate, how could he be willing to add such a big burden to himself, but he knew better than anyone that he would soon intervene in the Far East conflict in the future, that is, it was very likely to oppose the British, once that situation was created, in the future, he would not even think about getting another warship from the most advanced shipbuilding technology in the United Kingdom, so it was better to hoard more now, at least before he could read and build a ship, with the configuration of the North Star Star could still support it for a while!

"Hoard warships!" Chen Ping shook his head and smiled bitterly, this matter is only done by the wealthy Young Master Li, I am afraid that he would have gone bankrupt a few times.

"By the way, all the patented technologies you bought are ......." Li Mo was just about to ask Chen Ping if he had bought the latest research patents of a number of European companies, including Krupp, when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him,

"Slo! You bastard, pay it back! ”

Slo!

Hear the name! Li Mo's heart jumped involuntarily, and he immediately gritted his teeth, and a strong feeling of sadness instantly spread from the bottom of his heart. This sudden and strange change even startled him, why did he feel faintly uncomfortable when he heard this name?

Li Mo was surprised at the same time, and hurriedly looked back, only to find that there was a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man standing outside the door of the restaurant, with beautiful curly hair and a straight swallow tail.

His nervousness was brought about by the one behind him, it turned out that behind the curly-haired man, there was also a man with glasses, a little messy hair, and an impatient face in coarse cloth overalls who was dragging him, roaring so angrily that even one arm had blocked in front of him, almost blocking the entire restaurant door.

Since neither of them is pure in English, Chen Ping only vaguely understands some general meanings, the curly-haired man in front is called Sloe, he cheated the glasses man named McKinson in the back of a large sum of money, causing people to be homeless now, and they owe a lot of debts, and they are not allowed to go to the shipyard to work as a small worker to pay off the debt.

And that Slow is obviously a scoundrel, not only did he not pay back, but he deliberately said that if McKinson could afford to pay for the meals here, he would be more than willing to pay back!

Grandmother! Du Dazhuang may not know how much money is needed to eat a meal here, but Chen Ping definitely knows it, without five or six pounds, he doesn't dare to walk in here at all, you must know that the senior mechanics in the shipyards outside are only a few pounds a month, how can this man in thick blue overalls afford such a high consumption.

What's more, I heard him say that he already owes a lot of money, and his monthly salary is not enough to pay off the debt.

"it! Sure enough, it's this guy! Li Mo finally knew where this strong resentment in his heart came from. It turned out to be this guy, after so many years, the dog still can't change his eating! ”

If it weren't for the fact that this guy cheated Li Guotai of the gold bars he had saved so hard under the pretext of letting Li Mo go abroad to stay abroad, Li Guotai would not have chased him to the dock, and if he didn't chase him to the dock, he wouldn't have found that batch of arms, and if he didn't find that batch of arms, Li Guotai could continue to be the general of his Han Eight Banners, and he, the eldest young master, could continue to enjoy the life of the young master, holding the maid, and playing with forbidden room training and other things by the way! There is a need to rush to the front of everything now, take risks to seize ships, kill people, and in the end there is no place to stay.

So when Young Master Li quickly turned his head to see the familiar figure in the depths of his memory, a nameless fire burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that the guy who has occupied his body by himself does have a deep grudge against this bastard!" ”

"This despicable foreign devil in a foreign skin is full of nonsense and cheating money and sex in the Far East!" Li Mo smiled dumbly, he didn't expect to come to the UK once and meet this foreign teacher who was often used as a shield to cover up the secret of his reincarnation!

"Forget it, I'm embarrassed to borrow your body, just take revenge for you!" Li Mo stood up with a smile and walked up to the curly-haired man in the surprised eyes of Chen Ping and Du Dazhuang.

"Dear Teacher Slo, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
