Chapter 43: The Maiden is praying
"Hooray!"
"Long live slavery!"
"Go and fight for slaves and land!"
At Tom's call, tens of thousands of pioneers of the first Hero Company boarded the expeditionary ship.
A "small number" of knightly squires under the name of Tom Heroes boarded the steamer and embarked on an expedition.
Tom, the new knight, does not have many knight attendants under his name, and the total number of knight attendants planned to go to the battlefield is only 150,000, which is only a little more than the thousands of expeditionary troops in France.
Counting the people who do logistics in Houston, there are still not many people, only a few million.
"I've been saving up for more than a year, and I have tens of millions of dollars, so I always have something to use!"
"Money that is not used is money, and when it is spent, it is an asset."
"John, this is the war plan, take it, and follow this when you get to Mexico."
"Whether our hero company can have a territory no less than Texas depends on you."
"Come on, you are the real hero of our hero company!"
"The cannon is bombarding his mother, and Weijia Hainei is returning to his hometown."
Tom gave his "number one knight squire" - John an envelope, and on the cover of the envelope was this eternal sentence of the "great poet" of the Republic of China.
John, who could not read Chinese, did not care about this "strongest horse verse in history", and boarded the paddle steamer with an envelope.
Looking at the paddle steamer drifting away, Tom couldn't help but sit down on the edge of the harbor and began to cry and cry.
With Tom's "lead crying" who had just made a proud speech, all the family members of the soldiers who had traveled far away also stood by the port and wept, and the scene was not miserable.
"Woo woo ~ my employees, my employees, my employees!"
"Mr. Smith, it's okay, if you didn't go to the battlefield yourself, what is there to cry about."
"You know what! War has always hurt capitalists like me the most. ”
“???”
"The capitalists have always been the main victims of war, and the capitalists have lost their workers, their slaves, their tools of production in the war."
“???”
"What about the soldiers? It's just that I lost my life, and I've lost my assets! ”
“???”
"Woo woo woo ~ they are all my tools, my assets, can't I cry?"
“???”
Milia: I know you're not human, but can you at least be human?
On the first day of 1867, Tom paid tribute to what Mrs. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton called "the theory of patriarchal oppression."
If she Hillary Clinton can say that the death of men in the war is the oppression of women, why can't I, Tom, say that the death of the proletariat in the war is the oppression of capitalists like me?
Finally, Tom kept "crying" until the paddle steamer sank to sea level and disappeared from the view of the send-off group.
Tom stopped crying, put on a smiling face, called Milia and walked to the carriage.
"Let's go and celebrate the start of the war."
“???”
Despite the bitter cold of January, Milia knelt on the ground and prayed to heaven.
Millia: O Virgin Mary, please forgive Mr. Tom Smith, whether he is a good man or not, he is the father of the child in my womb.
Millia: For the sake of our family for generations to worship you, please forgive this young father and his child, God Jesus.
Milia had just knelt down, and before she could finish her prayers, she was helped up by two maids sent by Penny to serve Milia.
As for how Milia got pregnant?
It can only be said that it has been almost a year, and Milia has received regular physical examinations from Tom's personal physician, and Tom has basically confirmed that Milia has no illness.
Then, adrift on the paddle steamer in the Gulf of Mexico, the idle and bored Tom finally released his evil thoughts.
As the saying goes, if you have something to do, it's okay......
Tom misses the sea trip a month ago, and on the way back, he played the game of "Male Knight vs. Female Goblin" a few times.
It's funny.
But Tom, a scumbag who doesn't care about the feelings of others, doesn't play such a low-level game anymore when he gets off the boat.
Instead, he once again devoted himself to the cause of the hero company.
used up to three hours a day to squeeze his weak, bull-ridden "skinny" Texan man's body.
It may be a few more days before Tom recovers from a "squeezed" state after a trip to a "full of energy" body.
The current Tom, if nothing else, is the king of the sages - the king of the sages.
Even Millia's pregnancy was discovered by Tom's mother, Penny Smith.
As a Texas lady who gave birth to five children when she was young (the first child died, the second child Tom's eldest sister, the third child Tom, the fourth child died, and the fifth child was twin sister), among which there were twins, Penny saw at a glance that there was something wrong with the inseparable "maid" next to Tom, and specially sent two maids to serve this "wrong" "maid" closely.
Of course, Tom is a straight man of steel, and Tom in the buffer period doesn't want to see women at all, and he doesn't care that his "Knight Treasure Horse" is pregnant.
Tom happily returned to the Smith Building, walked to the rooftop, and entered the glass room on the rooftop.
I took out a bottle of special "champagne" - sparkling water, and shook it, and after a while, the pressure inside the bottle became more and more intense.
"Bang!
"Call me Mr. Smith? Call me Knight, I'm your Knight! ”
"Yes, my knight."
"Let's have some sparkling water together, and you two can drink some too."
"Yes, Mr. Smith."
"Huh?"
"No! No! Young master, we are not thirsty, we are not thirsty..."
Tom had noticed that there were two more maids serving his daily life, but he didn't care much about where they came from, as long as he didn't crawl into his bed and scare himself.
Tom greeted the two new waitresses as he had greeted the newcomer Milia.
Milia put on a "cute" tiger protection expression in Tom's blind spot, directly scaring off the two new attendants.
Milia knew his experience of "ascending", so how could he allow the new "enemy" to follow this old path?
Milia had known Tom for a year.
Tom didn't discriminate against anyone because of his origin.
Tom didn't discriminate against anyone because of their gender.
Tom didn't discriminate against anyone because of religion.
Tom didn't ......
In short, in the eyes of Millia, Tom Smith is the best man in the world.
The most important thing is that there are hundreds of millions of dollars and more than 100 million.
This kind of good man who has a lot of money, wealth, and is still easily controlled by Milia in the "duel between men and women", how can Milia not look at it.
Tom didn't care about the "Qing Palace Drama" palace fight behind him, it was too comfortable to lie in the sun in the glass room in winter.
Tom, who was lying in the rocking chair, couldn't help but frown as he looked at the letter from Hannah in his hand.
"The heroine drug is cracked?"
