"Teacher!"
Chen Ping and Du Dazhuang, who followed closely behind, looked at each other, this guy with curly hair and neat clothes that deceived people of a lot of money was the great and magical foreign teacher of the young master?!
Almost instantly, the imaginary great figure in the minds of the two suddenly collapsed! Swindler? Teacher! That's a lot of difference, isn't it?
When the two of them were in a daze, Slow was also stunned by the teenager who suddenly appeared in front of him, after all, it has been several years since the incident, and it is very simple for children to recognize adults, but adults need to be recognized by others, but it takes some time to recall. Fortunately, Li Mo called out to the teacher, and he gradually connected the face in front of him with the child who had been snorting and lying on the sickbed for several years, and his face suddenly became terrified!
"Are you ......, Nemo?"
You can't go wrong!
Only this guy will pronounce Li Mo as Nemo, and one thought is three years, this bastard! The young master is not the clownfish in Finding Nemo! deceived the young master's gold, and dared to swagger in and out of high-end places, and more importantly, this guy was dressed more decently than the young master at the moment!
you!
Li Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, the resentment in his heart really made him too uncomfortable, looking at Slow, who looked nervous and his eyes were fluttering, he immediately hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Teacher Slow, I've been looking for you for a long time!" ”
"Looking for me?!" Slow swallowed.
"Oh, dear Nemo, you know what, you are my best student, but unfortunately I received a letter that day, and my grandfather was critically ill, so I had to say goodbye suddenly!" Slow hurriedly snorted and continued: "But I didn't expect to meet you in the UK, I'm so happy, but unfortunately I still have something to do, we'll see you next time." ”
"See you next time?" A joke crossed Li Mo's squinted eyes, looked at Sloe's side, and McKinson, who was looking at the three of them at a loss, said, "I don't know if there is any misunderstanding between the teacher and this gentleman, can the student serve?" ”
"Misunderstanding? No, there's no misunderstanding, we just have a little problem to solve! Slow was even more nervous, which made Li Mo a little puzzled, but he cheated some money, can he be so nervous?
How did Li Mo know that in fact, after Sloe deceived the gold, he did not flee immediately, but quietly hid, wanting to wait until the limelight passed before escaping, but he didn't expect the news that Li Guotai hanged himself soon came.
Originally, with Li Guotai's death, it should be said that he was fine, but this guy was obsessed with the ghost and thought that Li Guotai must be more than this bit of gold, so he gritted his teeth and decided to sneak back to get another vote, but he didn't expect that he was nervous and dark, and instead of finding the vault, he loaded a few officers and soldiers, and those officers and soldiers thought he was Li Guotai's comrade, and both sides immediately fired.
Sloe thought that those soldiers were Li Guotai's subordinates and were looking for him to take revenge, so he was so panicked that he fled back to Spain overnight. As time passed, he came out again and began to live a life of swaggering and deception again. didn't expect to meet Li Mo in the UK, and he would be scared like this if he had a ghost in his heart.
"Minor problem! Sloe, you bastard, you made me a debt of six thousand pounds, and you still say it's a trifle! McKinson, the man with glasses, began to hear Li Mo call Mr. Slo, and thought they were in a group, especially when he saw the tall and big Du Dazhuang, who was already trembling with his feet and ready to slip away.
But I thought that this guy Sloe was slippery like a loach, and the next time I saw him, I didn't know how long it would take, so I gritted my teeth and insisted on standing on the side, but I didn't expect things to suddenly take a 180-degree turn.
Grandmother! Six thousand pounds! This guy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he wants to rob Rudolph's ship himself, and in the end he sells it for 5,000.
"Dear Teacher Slo, I think we should find a place to talk!" Sloe's nervousness became more and more curious to Li Mo, so he glanced at Du Dazhuang.
Du Dazhuang's level of observation and observation has obviously risen, although the young master's foreign teacher has been passed on by everyone to be amazing, but since the young master has made a look, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu did not discuss, I saw him put his left hand around Sloe, and his right hand held the black star against Sloe's waist, and said in awkward English: "Please!" ”
Du Dazhuang has been training with Li Qiang and them in Hawaii for the past six months, which is already extraordinary. With this hug, Slow seemed to be hugged by a brown bear, and his whole body couldn't move, but when he wanted to shout, hoping to get out of the people around him, he saw a pistol he had never seen before staring at his waist, and suddenly his eyes were black and fainted.
"Mr. McKinson, don't mind if the teacher and I go to your place for a while."
Seeing Du Dazhuang take out his gun, McKinson was so frightened that he was about to turn around and run away, but Chen Ping, who was next to him, hugged his shoulders early, and in the eyes of outsiders, he thought that these people were old friends who hadn't seen him for many years.

Walking through a few alleys, the group finally arrived at McKinson's makeshift residence, a small hotel with only a few rooms. Judging by the rusty aisles, cramped rooms, and musty furniture, Mr. McKinson was having a miserable time.
As several people poured into the room, the room was suddenly packed, and after Du Dazhuang lit the kerosene lamp, Li Mo had time to see the furnishings in the room clearly. There was no furniture in the room except a bed, a desk, and a chair, but strangely enough, the bed and table were covered with paper tubes, and it seemed that Mr. McKinson was still working hard.
Li Mo casually opened a drawing and was immediately stunned, although it was only a certain part, the naval guns that jumped out of the drawings could still make it easy to see that this was a warship.
Is this guy a warship designer?! But how can a designer live in such a place?
Thinking of this, Li Mo hurriedly put down the drawings, ready to ask the fainting Slow first, but before he could let Da Zhuang wake him up, Slow opened his eyes suddenly. It turned out that this guy woke up early, but he was afraid that Du Dazhuang would kill him, so he didn't dare to open his eyes.
"Dear Teacher Slow, I don't know if you have anything to say to me?" Li Mo lifted the corners of his mouth, revealing eight white teeth.
"No, Nemo, believe me, I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't!" Nervous, Slow was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Murder? Did this guy kill someone? Li Mo was confused, and in order to find out the truth of the matter, he immediately took out a pistol, slapped it on the table, and said fiercely: "Say it quickly." ”
Seeing the pistol, Slow thought that Li Mo was here to take revenge, otherwise who would have brought a gun when he went out! hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube, hurriedly said all the previous things, and repeatedly said that he was really unintentional.
"It turns out that this is the case, no wonder they all say "don't do bad things and don't be afraid to knock on the door at night", this Slow is obviously scaring himself, but it's okay to save himself from using his brains to scare him. Young Master Li laughed secretly, while deliberately putting on a straight face, pretending to be extremely fierce, waving his pistol and shouting, "Do you know? I can't wait to kill you! ”
"No, God! Dear Nemo, forgive me for my three years as your teacher! As soon as he saw the dangling pistol, Sloe's face turned even whiter, and he knelt down and hugged Li Mo's thigh and begged for mercy.
"Forgive me, but the gold must be returned to me immediately!" Li Mo spread out his big hand, with a posture that if he didn't give gold, he would die.
"I don't have any money." As soon as he heard the money, Slow trembled even more, this guy eats, drinks, gambles, and gambles, not to mention gold, even if he asks him to take out twenty pounds at this moment, it is impossible.
Seeing Slow's appearance, Li Mo felt even more funny, but in order to clear McKinson's identity, he still deliberately kept a straight face, pointed to McKinson, who was also trembling next to him, and said, "Who is he?" What does it have to do with you? ”
"His name is McKinson, and he's a small boat owner." In order to obtain Limer's forgiveness, Slow hurriedly told him and McKinson about his grievances. It turned out that McKinson was not an Englishman, but a ship designer from Austria-Hungary, especially obsessed with battleship design, and was bent on designing the most powerful battleships.
Unfortunately, when the design was rejected by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italian Admiralty respectively, and ridiculed him for being a madman, this guy planned to come to England to try his luck, but when he sold his family property and came here with three thousand pounds, he met Sloe, a big liar!
Hearing that this guy was bent on getting a chance to build a battleship, Slow lied to him, saying that his uncle was an Admiralty officer and could be introduced to McKinson to Armstrong's shipyard, and even to the new Lord of the Navy, Sir Fisher.
McKinson didn't think that this was Slow's trick, and thought that he had met a nobleman, and in the end he was not only cheated out of all his money by Slow, but even borrowed 2,000 pounds of usury under the temptation of Slow, which was used as a stepping stone to meet the senior officials of the British Admiralty.
In the end, before he could see the legendary Sir Fisher, who was good at innovation and liked new designs, Slow suddenly disappeared, and then the loan shark also came to collect the debt, and he realized that he had been deceived, and the loan shark had rolled to as much as three thousand pounds! In the end, I had no choice but to go to the shipyard to work to pay off my debts.
"Mr. McKinson, may I see your drawings?"
With Slow's words, McKinson was so excited that he forgot about the death threat, and rushed up to punch and kick the big liar, and didn't stop until Li Mo asked him.
"You want to see my drawings?" McKinson didn't understand, why did this Oriental boy want to look at the drawings? Did he think that after a few years of studying with Sloe, a big liar, he would be able to understand the blueprints? Although Li Mo had already been classified as a liar, when he saw Du Dazhuang's indifferent eyes, he immediately plunged into the pile of papers, and took out a panorama and handed it to Li Mo in shock.
As the drawing was slowly opened, Li Mo's eyes gradually brightened, and when he finally swept to the signature in the lower right corner of the drawing, he jumped up from the chair suddenly.
"Oleg. Laborious. McKinson! ”
"Is it really 1892?" Li Mo looked at the autograph blankly, and the afterglow swept over the vegetable and trembling McKinson beside him, turned his head and asked Chen Pingdao.
“!” Chen Ping was confused and speechless, could it be that Zhang Tu was cursed? Let the young master hallucinate?
The name McKinson is unfamiliar to Li Mo, but the surname Olig, he is really shocked, as a senior BB party, this very rare surname means that the Austro-Hungarian generation of famous ships, or the last glory of the empire is connected!
Combined Forces, or Austro-Hungarian Monarch! The world's first dreadnought-class battleship to use a triple turret!
As soon as he thought of that class of his favorite dreadnought, Young Master Li's heart was beating wildly: "This Oleg? Could it really be that Oleg? But when he saw the somewhat pale and nervous McKinson in front of him, he couldn't laugh or cry! Because he can't verify it at all now, he can't always ask: "Did you design the Combined Force-class battleship more than ten years later?" ”
However, the design drawing in front of him still made Li Mo's heart beat a little faster!
With a displacement of about 10,000 tons, a flat deck, a low bridge, a poor command perspective, and an ingenious configuration of four twin-mounted main guns, the only drawback is that the layout chooses the most popular diamond-shaped lug layout in France, except for this, the others are almost a miniature version of the Austro-Hungarian monarch!
It doesn't matter if he is the Oleg more than ten years later, for Li Mo, this drawing alone is worth ten thousand gold!
Seeing the young master holding the drawings, looking at McKinson for a while, and looking down at the drawings for a while, looking at a loss, Chen Ping also hurriedly came over. But when I saw it clearly, I was a little disappointed. He didn't understand how this unrealistic design could make the young master so excited.
"Tell me about it." Seeing Chen Ping leaning over and shaking his head, Li Mo took a deep breath, handed over the picture to him with half-squinted eyes, and at the same time wanted to test his number one subordinate.
Chen Ping, who has been in the British shipyard for a year, and often has access to some engineers, has his own ideas about the design of warships, plus he has studied at the British Naval Academy for so many years, so he immediately said: "Everything else is nothing, but there are big problems with the displacement and main gun arrangement." The first is the number of naval guns, four twin main guns can indeed greatly increase the fire output, but it is too heavy for the size of this ship. And a battleship is not said to be equipped with main guns, but also needs to be equipped with two or three secondary guns to ensure a balance of firepower!
Four main guns need four corresponding ammunition depots, plus secondary guns and armor, at least 20,000 tons! According to the calculations of the latest British majestic class, it takes at least 20 boilers and four reciprocating steam engines to propel a 20,000-ton battleship, not to mention whether these things can be loaded, even if they are loaded, I think the speed will not exceed fifteen knots! It's not as fast as an old ironclad.
In addition, the main guns in the middle are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis, and if a salvo is fired, the recoil will directly shatter the deck and keel, so that it will sink first without the enemy firing. ”
After Chen Ping finished speaking, he returned the picture to McKinson, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mack, please forgive me, I'm afraid that Austria-Hungary and the Italian Admiralty also think so." ”
McKinson didn't expect that there would be such a big expert by Li Mo's side. However, the astonishment turned to consternation, and after hearing Chen Ping's last words, that arrogance still made him immediately retort: "I believe in my design!" ”
"I believe it too!"
Chen Ping originally wanted to say that McKinson had a hard mouth, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, the young master's voice came from his ears, saying that he believed in McKinson's design, and he was immediately surprised. I thought that the young master said this when he saw that there were many main guns and strong firepower, so he quickly pulled the corner of Li Mo's clothes and said in Chinese: "Young master, this"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Li Mo turned his head and smiled at Chen Ping, then looked at McKinson again and said, "Mr. McKinson, it just so happens that I have a shipyard, I don't know if you would like to work for me?" ”
"Working for you?" McKinson looked at the young man in front of him, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, a little stupid, and after a long time shook his head and said, "No, this is not a small shipyard of several hundred tons that can be built, and I don't want to go to your country." ”
"No, I think you're mistaken." Li Mo looked at McKinson and shook his fingers: "My shipyard is not in the Great Qing Kingdom, but in Hawaii, and it is not a small dock of several hundred tons. Speaking of this, Young Master Li proudly straightened his waist: "There are two 20,000-ton docks there, and two 1.5-ton docks, I think, this should be enough!" ”
"Seventy thousand tons!" McKinson did the math and blurted out.
"Besides, if you're willing to work for me, I can provide the first batch of £100,000 for the experiment now, and if you pass the experiment, I can also guarantee that you will preside over the design and construction of any warship you want to build." Young Master Li shook the drawings in his hand, as if he was holding a carrot to tempt the little white rabbit.
"The first batch? 100,000 pounds! And let me build any warship I want! "McKinson swallowed, his head was a little dizzy, is this guy crazy? Does he know how much that would cost?
"I'm a madman, so I like lunatics too." Li Mo put on an unfathomable smile and added to the fire: "Besides, I can pay off all the debts for you now!" ”
"Me." McKinson was a little out of breath, looked at Li Mo, and then looked at Du Dazhuang holding the pistol in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, who knows if this guy will go crazy after he refuses, so he weighed it for a moment before gritting his teeth: "I agree!" ”
"Great!" Li Mo really wanted to laugh out loud in his heart, although Chen Ping was still worried when he looked at the drawings on the side, but Li Mo didn't explain, because he knew that it was useless to explain now. Because someone once said that in addition to the lack of technology, the navies of the countries in the pre-dreadnought era also seemed to have been magically used and rigidized! No one thought of unifying the main guns, and it was not until the appearance of the dreadnoughts that they turned around.
Unfortunately, he didn't have to wait long for him to be happy, when an annoying voice interrupted his thoughts again.
"Nemo, you really own a big shipyard in Hawaii!"
