277 came to make peace

Next to the octagonal well platform, several grape vines are entangled, crawling along the bamboo frame to cover the entire small courtyard. The wide grape leaves are like a small fan, blocking the scorching sun and bringing patches of greenery.

The sea breeze that swept across the peninsula from Dalian Bay poured into the Li family's old house with a slight fishy smell, and also brought a touch of coolness to the young master Li who was hiding under the grape trellis and lying in a rocking chair for a morning vacation.

"If you don't want to go on vacation in Hokkaido."

The gentle breeze, but it still didn't make Master Li satisfied, and soon remembered the perennial temperature of more than ten degrees, the picturesque Hokkaido, but this thought had just risen, and he smiled helplessly, since the last attack, now the Government Council and the General Staff are about to confine him as a panda, and even a few days ago he took an airship to watch the battle, and was almost dragged off the airship by Li Enfu, who heard the news and rushed to stop him.

Not to mention that Hokkaido, which is not completely stable at the moment, even if you walk a few laps on the street, it is estimated that Du Dazhuang's gang will pull in front of the thousands of people who have been expanded into a guard battalion.

Hey, helpless

I don't know when this day will end, except for the small islands where birdmen can't see a few in the Ogasawara Islands, Master Li's entry and exit is stricter than that of later celebrities, and if the technical factors are excluded, it is estimated that it will be comparable to the future US presidents.

Speaking from the heart, every modern man who returns to this world, except for being able to make a fortune with knowledge and make money, and enjoy three wives and four concubines to satisfy the ** hidden in his heart, will not really like this kind of life.

Although it was a refreshing feeling to be a leader and change history, the aftermath almost drove him crazy, who was accustomed to walking on the street, bathed in sunlight and jealous eyes, holding his beautiful and moving wife, wandering around, and deliberately admiring those jealous eyes.

Of course, the craziest thing at the moment is not himself, not Japan, not Uncle Sam, but the old matador.

The descendants of poor old Don Quixote, in order to block the mouth of the country and relieve the pressure of **, bought three determination-class and the Azuma at a price of two million pounds, and it must be said that it was exchanged for Luzon and the Pacific colonies, and even Master Li couldn't learn the ability to slap a swollen face and become fat.

They underestimate the United States too much, although the U.S. Navy was reduced a lot after the Civil War and was almost canceled for a time, but it has changed a lot since they came to this world, and the three Indiana-class ships have all been commissioned, because the first two of the four Iowa class ships they have added have also been put into service, and the last two have also entered the stage of launching and outfitting.

The first of the four Chilsage-class battleships has also been put on the slipway, and it can be said that the powerful industrial capacity of the United States is bursting out little by little, but this kind of explosion is exactly what Li Mo is willing to see, because only when the United States also participates in this race can it change the development path of their economy and force them to consume resources to compete.

This is a dangerous road, in the end, he is not qualified to play a competition with the United States at the moment, and can only be harassed by Thomas playing some tricks to make some money, fortunately, Spain took the initiative to run to the mouth, so he decided to take four cruisers to Spain, but I didn't expect this declining aristocracy to still pour out of the nest as in history, obviously they underestimated the United States too much.

There is no doubt at all who will win, and at this moment we can only see how much damage Spain can inflict on the United States, and it must also prepare for its own retaliation after the United States wins the war.

But now, it's time to enjoy the fruits of victory

The Spaniards sent two million pounds, Wilhelm II smashed 500,000 pounds for the airship, and the French were not far behind, although unlike Germany that bought ready-made airships for the island of Kyushu, but also spent 400,000 pounds, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and even the down-and-out Ottomans have also signed purchase agreements, and the airship alone will bring no less than two million net income in the next year, which is six times the total investment of the previous airship.

Fortunately, at present, the new banknotes issued by the Government Council itself, known as blue coins, have not yet been put into the market, and the use of the pound settlement system is still the same, otherwise it is estimated that it is a great annoyance to convert so many national currencies into their own money.

The fifty tons of gold stolen from Sensoji Temple have been put into storage by the Government Council, and in addition to the four battleships that have been damaged but the main structure has not been damaged, and have been dragged into the Ryukyus for maintenance and reconstruction, it can be said that most of the consumption prepared for this war has been replenished

Of course, this is not counting the rich Hokkaido, and Japan, which is already in the palm of your hand.

However, the infiltration of Japan and neighboring Korea will be a long process, and colonization alone will no longer be feasible in this year, and Hokkaido has succeeded because he remembered the Ezo people, a people who are almost unknown in later generations, and because of the small number of Japanese immigrants, so the control plan with economic control as the main thing and military containment as a supplement has been put on the agenda.

North Korea is good to say, after all, a strip of water, if their rebels lose their support, they will not be able to become a climate at all, so after hearing that he is willing to support them to form a new regime, Jin Kainan has promised to exchange the mining rights of the Maoshan generation as an exchange for himself, although the prospectors sent have not been able to accurately determine the reserves, but Li Mo knows very well that the largest open-pit iron mine in Asia has been pinched in the palm of his hand

With a total reserve of 3 billion tons, a mineable capacity of 1.3 billion tons, and a large number of poor North Korean workers who continue to work, it only takes a year or two for a steady stream of subway ore to be turned into construction steel and into warships

And Li Enfu and others, who have seen Master Li's ability to enclose land, have even decided that if they can really find a large iron ore, they will immediately extend a section of the railway from Fengtian to Tonghua to Yanji to connect Maoshan and connect this large iron ore into the Northeast Economic Circle.

In addition to the Mosan iron mine, there is also the world's largest magnesite in the northern mountains of North Korea, as well as non-ferrous metals such as tungsten and lead, as well as a large number of mineable coal resources, so in Li Mo's heart, North Korea will be a base for providing raw materials in the future.

Of course, except for the Maoshan Iron Mine, which is coveted by Young Master Li because of its close distance and easy mining and large output, other resources are not enough compared to the rich three northeastern provinces.

If the control of Korea is already gradually underway, then Japan has just begun, and from today there will be a scene of 10,000 people crying in the Ryukyu Strait again, except for 100,000 Japanese young men who will be incorporated into the construction corps under the guns and bayonets, the rest will all be driven back to the main island of Japan, and Lee Eun-bok and the Government Council have already drawn up a plan for gradual emigration.

Kyushu Island, Germany loves to mess around, Shikoku Island has been regarded by the Government Council as a base to support Saigo Congdao to form a new government, as for the island, perhaps the most anxious now is not himself, but Britain and the United States

Although the war between the two places has not yet ended, Li Mo already knows very well that it is only a matter of time before Japan surrenders completely, and after the Japanese troops stationed in Korea lost nearly 10,000 people at Incheon, the 2nd and 4th divisions in charge of the direction of Uiju have been fully launched, and even the Korean rebels, who do not have more than 10,000 people, have been ordered to participate in this all-out attack.

From Uiju to the beginning, the entire North and South Pyongan provinces have been filled with rumbling artillery, and the 1st Division of the Southern Front, with the help of 12 airships and Wildcat 1 armored vehicles, has advanced under the city of Seoul, and the occupation of Seoul is just around the corner.

It's time to think about something else

Li Mo gently touched his feet and let the chaise longue slowly shake up, and the bunches of cyan grapes above his head continued to enlarge in his eyes, along with the huge territory that had covered half of the Pacific Ocean in his mind.

From Luzon to Micronesia, from the Marshall Islands to Honolulu, from Honolulu to the Ryukyus, and finally from Hokkaido to the three northeastern provinces, the area is larger than any other dynasty in Chinese history, and all this was done in just five years under the roar of giant ships and cannons.

There is knowledge brought by the afterlife, there is also luck, and of course, there is countless blood.

The vast land, the population of more than 20 million, the huge island group, and the sea frontier that covers half of the Pacific Ocean have made many people and countries jealous, and it is estimated that the people who want him to die can now be lined up from Lushun to Ryukyu

Strangely, even Li Mo himself was a little afraid that such a large territory did not have a formal and strong government, which was maintained by the army and a small government attached to the Kingdom of Hawaii, which was undoubtedly playing with fire

Yes, it's playing with fire

Thinking about it many times, Li Mo couldn't help but be afraid, although Zhao Long, Chen Ping, and Li Enfu are all trustworthy, but who knows what about the others? Luzon alone, in addition to Zhong Wenyao, the governor, the Government Council also sent hundreds of other officials, plus Chinese and Luzon officials recruited from the local area, which amounted to several thousand

How many of them are perfunctory, how many are eating in the corpse, or how many hearts are really towards themselves?

There is no internet, no satellite phones, and no future generations where you can circle the globe a few times by plane, and even if you take an airship, it would take at least five days to get from Honolulu to Luzon.

As early as the beginning of the design of Jinghai, he was aware of this problem and put forward strict speed requirements, but warships are warships after all, and once something happens to these distant territories, even if a ship with a run of more than 50 knots is built, it is difficult to really achieve rapid support.

Therefore, in order to rule such a large territory, in addition to building and maintaining a large number of military bases, a strong and efficient government management is needed.

But there is a premise for doing so, and that is that the state must be established immediately

In fact, this problem has been bothering him for a long time, as early as after taking away the three northeastern provinces, the issue of founding the country has actually been haunting him for a long time, not to mention him, even Li Enfu and Yan Fu have talked to him privately about this matter alone.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, they were actually anxious in their hearts, and they were just put aside because they didn't speak, but now this issue can't be put aside

As the old saying goes, the name is right.

Therefore, under his instruction, Tang Shaoyi put forward conditions to Germany, and also released the news of the establishment of the country, which has caused an uproar in the Government Council*, almost everyone supports the establishment of the country, but there has been a lot of quarrel on whether to really adopt the republican system.

But what is strange to everyone is that at this critical juncture, Li Mo suddenly became silent, and he was bent on imprisoning himself in the General Staff, and he seemed to forget about this matter by supervising the battle with all his might, and Chen Ping strictly ordered anyone in the army to prohibit anyone from discussing this matter.

Only a few people know that he is not silent, nor has he forgotten this important event because he cares about the war, but is waiting for an opportunity.

This is already hundreds of years ago, when he could build a country by relying on horses and soldiers to draw a vote, not to mention that what he wanted to build was an instant recognition by the international community and regarded as a participant, rather than a spoiler

Japan, on the other hand, is one of the most important bargaining chips for this crucial step

Germany has now succumbed to the interests of Japan behind the island of Kyushu that it threw out, and the most important ones left are Britain and the United States

"What will they choose for the sake of their respective interests in Japan?" Li Mo squinted his eyes, and an arc at the corner of his mouth had just cracked, when he saw a shadow move in front of him.

"Brother Li, what are you laughing at?"

When she got up and looked, Fang Xianqi was already holding a pot of tea, and she walked to her side, bent down and put the teacup on the coffee table on the side, and then smiled slightly.

Her action made Young Master Li's eyes light up suddenly.

The waterfall-like hair curled up at the back of her head, revealing a snow-white pink neck as beautiful as a swan, a gorgeous face without a trace of fat powder, and a pair of diamond-like bright eyes under the willow eyebrows.

The simple short-sleeved flag suit makes the body curve more attractive, and at the same time, it also exposes two white and tender arms, and a touch of bright red on the right wrist shines in the sun, which is the string of blood coral beads that was given to her at the beginning.

"Brother Li?"

Fang Xianqi was holding the teacup, and when she saw Li Mo staring at the coral beads on her wrist in a daze, her cheeks not only flushed slightly, but she also whispered.

"I'm laughing, how do you do this yourself? Isn't there a maid? By the way, what about them? ”

"My little sister has been on the boat for a few days, and she is a little uncomfortable to rest, and Yue'er is accompanying her." Fang Xianqi handed the teacup to Li Mo, pressed the hem of the cheongsam and sat down beside Li Mo.

took a sip of tea, and the corners of his eyes swept to the buttocks that were pressed on the stool and looked more plump, and he couldn't help but feel that the air was a little hot, and he hurriedly poured the tea into his throat to suppress the fire.

Fang Xianqi was just about to take the cup and prepare to pour another cup for him, but before his hand touched the rim of the cup, Li Mo grabbed his right hand. "Xianqi, your hands are so beautiful."

"Nothing." It was the first time I heard Li Mo praise himself for his good looks, Fang Xianqi suddenly even turned red, bowed his head and said shyly: "It's all sent by Brother Li that the beads are beautiful." ”

Feeling the scorching heat coming from the palm of her hand, Fang Xianqi's heartbeat became more and more intense, although she was so shy that she wanted to withdraw it, but when she thought of Luo Sanniang, who had just come out, she suddenly leaned into Li Mo's arms.

After so long, Fang Xianqi already understood Li Mo's mind a little, although she was her rightful wife, but because of what happened to her father, he had a little bit of a problem with himself.

As a woman, she doesn't know how to resolve that estrangement, because it is a matter between men, she only knows that she has been tied to this man in her life, even if she waits for him for the rest of her life, she must wait.

Li Mo gently stroked his little hand, looked at those bright eyes, and suddenly found that he really didn't cherish it, wasn't it because of Fang Boqian's deserter status? Now that history has been changed by itself, why bother with those knots?

Delicious food is king

Looking at the ruddy little mouth, when Li Mo was about to come up and enjoy the deliciousness, Fu Hai's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard. "Young Master, Mr. Li, they're here."

Hearing the voice, Fang Xianqi hurriedly withdrew his little hand, blushed and quickly tidied up the corners of his clothes, which made Li Mo laugh secretly, fortunately there was no third pair of eyes here, otherwise he would have thought that Young Master Li was the kind of wild pervert who liked to proclaim yin in the day.

"Let's make a pot of tea."

"Hmm." Fang Xianqi nodded obediently, then turned around and immediately went to prepare.

After a burst of hearty laughter, Li Mo not only saw Li Enfu and Chen Ping, but even Yan Fu, Tang Shaoyi, Long Guozhang and Zhao Long also came together, and immediately crowded all the small grape trellises.

Before he could ask why several people came together, Li Enfu had already sat down with a smile.

"Young master, Ito Hirobumi is here, and he also brought a letter from the Japanese emperor, it seems that they want to make peace."
