Chapter 574 Betting on both sides

reported in the Brisbane Courier of 19 March 1889;

Mr. Credman, the US diplomatic envoy, who is about to leave for China to report on his duties, was interviewed by this reporter in the luxurious suite of the Citigroup cruise ship "Philadelphia Star" in Beilun Port.

Mr. Credman said solemnly;

It was a successful diplomatic trip, and he personally had extensive contacts with the senior leaders of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, exchanging views on issues of mutual interest, and the talks were frank and friendly, which left a good impression on him.

Mr. Credman repeatedly emphasized that during his mission to the Qing Dynasty, he was deeply impressed by the hard-working, courageous, simple and enthusiastic Chinese, and he cherished their friendship with each other.

Here, he saw that overseas Chinese have made important contributions to the construction of a new Australia, and the US side has an affirmative and appreciative attitude towards this, and is willing to work with overseas Chinese to contribute to the prosperity of Australian society.

Speaking about the "malicious release of Australian hares", Mr. Cliffman said;

The Australian legal system, which originated in the United Kingdom, has proven to be the most efficient, open, fair and just legal system in the world, and he called on Americans in Australia to respect local customs, abide by local laws, and make a positive contribution to the promotion of bilateral relations.

Mr. Credman also said that he was happy to see the Chinese immigrants to Australia make more positive contributions in all aspects......

In a luxury estate in Melbourne

"Despicable, shameless, and indecent...... This American hillbilly with a mouth full of lies has deceived us, why doesn't he go to hell? ”

Garrie Grant, president of the Royal Gold Mine Owners Association of Victoria, was reading the newspaper while he was leisurely eating breakfast, when suddenly a mouthful of milk squirted out, and he stood up in embarrassment and cursed, looking extremely angry.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Madame Avilia asked in surprise.

Garry-Grant pointed to the newspaper with a look of disgust, and said with anger in her tone; "Look, we've been shamefully betrayed."

Avelia picked up the newspaper and looked at it, her face changed, but her expression was not so intense, she raised her head and said calmly; "These American hillbillies really can't be trusted, don't tell me you don't have a plan B, my dear."

Garrie-Grant was stunned for a moment, his mood was much more relaxed, and he sat down without saying a word, and after the maid had wiped the milk stains, he waved them all down, and he obviously had something important to say to his wife alone.

The maid who had withdrawn closed the door casually, leaving room for the old lady to talk alone.

"My dear lady, I have indeed carefully considered this, what are we to do when those odious yellow-skinned monkeys flood over Melbourne City Hall?"

Garrie-Grant looked distracted, and said in a heavy tone;

"Judging from the balance of power between the north and the south, the fall of Australia seems inevitable.

The Red Keep's masters have amassed a vast array of power, untold wealth and a population ten times the size of ours, and Chinese immigrants are still pouring in, and the scales are weighing more and more every day.

The only thing we can rely on is London, and only London can redeem this poor overseas territory.

The question is will we be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive?

If the Sydney Defence can hold on, relying on the vast depth and strong faith, Victoria and New South Wales will fight stubbornly, and the two sides will be able to maintain the situation for a long time without collapsing until the dawn of victory comes.

Unfortunately, it didn't go our way.

The owner of the Red Fort is a tough and wise opponent, and the NSW midterm election in July was a breakthrough and a political machittal that I knew was terrible after the passage of affirmative action last year

The burst of the riverbank caused a surging flood that could not be recovered.

Many people have seen this, including Governor Jeff Bridges, and other high society people in Southern States have transferred their property and sent their wives and daughters out of Australia, including former Governor Morgan McLaughrie, Speaker Sir Matthew Crowley, and of course, George Neville, the-stirring stick, who is all planning to bet on both ends.

It's time for us to think about it. ”

Avilia had been listening quietly, answering at the right time; "I'm listening, my dear, tell me about your plans."

Garrie Grant said in a deep voice; "Last year I had people look at London, Paris, Vienna and New York, and the final place I chose was New York, an economically prosperous metropolis with endless possibilities for the future and, above all, ...... The upper class here is the world of the English people, and we can easily fit in. ”

"New York? Oh...... God, there are a lot of poor Irish ghosts out there, and in European society, Americans are generally treated as rude hillbillies, can't we go to Paris? I love that beautiful city where we can buy a nice detached building. ”

"Madame, the French are not friendly to us."

"But I love Paris, the elegant fashion of Paris, the galleries that bring together art from all over the world, the intoxicating French wines, perfumes, and the famous French cuisine, and I don't think it's a problem with the little jealousy of the French."

"Madam, we can buy a big farm in the United States, covering hundreds of square kilometers, and there are more investment opportunities in the United States, which can allow our wealth to grow steadily."

"Oh...... That's not a problem, my dear. ”

Avelia stood up and spun around happily, her precious French dress from an authentic French court tailor in the Red River Valley, valued at £420, with a beautiful folded lace skirt encrusted with hundreds of broken diamonds that glittered in the sun.

She looked at Garrie Grant with a charming expression and said; "Isn't it better to buy an old winery in Burgundy, France, a castle on a sunny beach in the Mediterranean, a luxury mansion in Paris, a child to receive an authentic European aristocratic education, to attend occasional high-class drinking parties, and to talk with world-famous artists."

Mrs. Grant's words touched Garry-Grant, who was the president of the Royal Gold Mine Owners' Association, which employs more than 7,000 miners and produces more than 200,000 ounces of gold a year.

What can be solved with money, is it still a problem?

Since the lady and the children are willing to go to Paris, let's go to Paris, I am willing to buy it if I have money!

As for whether French artists will cuckold themselves, Gary Grant will not consider these boring questions, and add a touch of artistic blood to the family, isn't it fragrant?

The couple wisely did not talk about London, where high society is notoriously high, and it is not just about money, and there is no noble status that is despised everywhere, regarded as an upstart from a poor country.

"Honey, what will you do if I leave with my child?" Avilia suppressed the joy in her heart and asked with a hint of worry on her face.

I have to say

This woman has a talent for acting, her little white hand rests on the back of Garry-Grant's hand, and her big blue eyes flicker as she looks at her husband and weeps.

"It's not that serious, the Orientals won't be killed soon, we're just preparing for the worst, the Angros-Saxons aren't so easy to conquer, anyone who dares to reach out must be prepared to pay a heavy price." Garry-Grant patted Madame's jade hand gently, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a firm tone;

"The Grant family has been in business in Victoria for over 100 years, and we will defend our traditional life with our blood and lives, defend the family wealth, and no one can take it all without my consent.

I will mobilize the members of the Royal Gold Mine Owners Association, take out some of the assets to buy weapons and equipment, and form armed militia groups, and I believe that with enough ammunition, 100 whites will be enough to deal with 1,000 Orientals.

God willing

The weapons we have prepared will not be of use, and if the owner of the Red Keep had not been wise, then perhaps nothing would have happened to the majesty of the British Empire. ”

"God willing, I hope so." Avelia made a cross on her towering breast,

Her action made Garry-Grant turn her attention back to Madame's body, and her eyes couldn't help but show a burning light.

The middle-aged Avelia exudes the charm of a mature woman everywhere, the white goose neck is towering, and it is even more charming against the backdrop of the luxurious dress, and that trace of melancholy arouses the man's strong desire to protect, uh...... And beastliness.

Apparently, Avilia was sensitive to her husband's eager gaze, and she slapped Garrie-Grant on the arm coquettishly, as if to blame him for thinking about these things while talking about serious matters.

She turned and twisted her slender waist to the door, a Qianqianyu hand resting on the brass doorknob, as if powerless to unscrew it, and turned back to reveal a pitiful look for help.

Well, this is a coquettish stunner who can grasp the psychology of men very well.

Garrie-Grant could no longer hold back the eagerness in her heart, and strode over to squeeze Avilia by the door, and put one hand through her dress, looking impatient.

"Boom" gasped

Avelia's bumpy and delicate body seemed to have lost its weight, and she lay down under the man's strong body like mud, and the deep white ravines seemed to be smeared with a layer of red clouds, and she looked at Garrie-Grant with a confused look in her eyes; "Don't ...... here, honey"

The more I say don't be here, the more I can't help it.

Garrie Grant rudely flipped Avilia over, forcing her to pout her plump buttocks in an extremely ambiguous position.

Evillia turned pitifully and reluctantly, one pink arm tugging at the hem of Garrie-Grant's chest, biting her lips and moaning as he jerked into the wet mud; "My dear...... I love ...... Paris."

"Ok, let's go to Paris."

"Hmm...... Uh-huh......"
