The paddle steamer carrying two waves of Yankee task forces slowly sailed out of the port of Houston.

After the paddle steamer had traveled about half a mile, John shouted to the harbor lighthouse behind him.

"Mr. Smith, you can come out, their paddle steamers have no guns, and there are no guns to threaten the harbor at this distance."

"John, I didn't say you, your movements and laughter just now were too stiff, and that full of mockery was not reflected."

Tom walked out of the lighthouse, walked over to the place where Charles had been sitting, and sat down.

Summoned two strong bodyguards, propped himself up in a chair to prevent himself from falling from behind, and crossed his legs on the table in front of him.

The feet on the table still tremble regularly, and the leather shoes on the two feet constantly collide with each other, making a rhythmic and regular clicking sound.

"Don't use your hands as pillows and still be so stiff, it's too monotonous, it should be like me."

Tom put his hands on his chest, carefully buttoned the gray matter in his nails, and took out a small knife and sharpened his nails.

"Do you think I'm joking? By the way, I'll tell you a little secret, I've jumped from Smith to Hero, and we'll be competitors in the future, hahaha~"

"Poof~"

Looking at Tom's appearance, several female secretaries who were standing aside with smiling and blushing cheeks couldn't hold back any longer and laughed.

Of course, except for these female secretaries, none of the people present laughed out loud, and the others didn't laugh out loud even if their eyes were red.

John doesn't laugh because of his personality, while the reason for others is simple - fear of death.

"John, you're too stiff, not cheap enough, you have to be like me, behave like a slut."

"It's just that it's your first time after all, and you're performing okay, come on next time!"

"The next time I perform, I silently thought in my heart, I'm a slut, I'm a b~i~t~c~h~"

"Who can hold back not laughing, I'm very optimistic about you."

"Come and get me my manicure."

As soon as Tom's words fell, he remembered that the poker-faced maids were deaf and mute.

He shook his head helplessly, made a few sign language gestures, and beckoned a few people to come over and polish his nails.

The two little deaf maids slowly walked up to Tom's place, took the file from Tom's hand, and began to polish Tom's nails.

The other maids carried out one of Tom's favorite chairs, and four or five maids struggled to lift Tom from the chair to the chair.

Give Tom a shoulder and a thump on the back.

"Why did Mr. Smith have to come to the port, and teach Mr. Muller such strange movements."

"People have hobbies, for example, I have a hobby."

"What hobby?"

"Did you just see that uncle?"

"I see."

"I like to see the expressions of these self-proclaimed "superior people" and "blue-blooded people" when they have to swallow their anger because of the most primitive desire to survive, which is simply a delicacy in the world. ”

"Then why is Mr. Smith hiding? Wouldn't it be better to do that in front of him? I think Mr. Smith must have done a better job than Mr. Mueller and would have humiliated that uncle even more. ”

Tom reached out his other hand and tapped it on the mouthy maid's little head.

"Where are so many why, pinch your shoulders well."

"Don't knock me on the head, it hurts."

Of course, Tom will not say that he is afraid of death, after all, he can't be searched on this occasion, and there are a lot of people on the other side, what if there is a "fool" who only needs to die.

This kind of accident should be avoided as much as possible.

"Loki, bring me my plan."

"Gotcha, Big Tom."

Loki scurried back to the carriage, pointing fingers at several people who were dealing with the aftermath of the gold.

He pulled out a folder from the carriage and ran back to Tom's side.

Tom, basking in the sun and enjoying his service, pulled out a hand and took the folder.

Tom waved his hand again, and the maids stepped back.

Tom, sunbathing, flipped through the folder, which had only one page of documents.

The documents inside are encrypted in the "Tom" script in a variety of scripts.

There are a few items on it that are still ticked, and a few items that are still blank.

"Let me see, what's next?"

The plan Tom wrote when he had just crossed over from the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany.

There are a variety of goals inside:

Creation of the Smith Family,

……

After getting the first pot of gold, he came to Texas,

……

Obtain a standing army of more than 50,000 men

Attack Mexico to gain access to the Pacific Ocean

……

became the first emperor in the history of the United States to be elected by referendum,

Founding of the American Empire,

Tom's fingers slid down one goal after another, and he found that it was time to hit the soft persimmon of Mexico.

"It's time to fight Mexico."

But it was found that between the acquisition of the army and the attack on the sea, there was a < less than the number, and to the right of the less than number, it was-

Recruit more than 10 million employees who have jumped from the ground to the earth.

"No, it's to recruit employees who have jumped from Lafayette first."

When Tom thinks about it, without the Pacific Ocean, it would be difficult to recruit 10 million job-hopping employees.

"Let's do it together, while beating the soft persimmon of Mexico, while inviting employees thousands of miles away."

"How to fool, phew, persuasion."

"How can I persuade tens of millions of serfs from their hometowns to come to Texas to help me turn screws on ships and trains for a few months?"

Tom was wondering how to get the peasants, who thought the land was more important than everything, to leave the land and come to Texas, thousands of miles away.

Some time ago, Tom bought a ramen restaurant, and Tom transformed it into an exclusive restaurant for him to host East Asian employee leaders.

Speaking of which, Tom was a college student at the beginning, and he didn't know much about wine table culture, but he was a human being.

If you don't understand the wine table culture, you can combine the scenes you saw in the TV series in your previous life to make a wine table that is more "wine table culture" than the officials of the local court.

First of all, the dining room faces south, the door of the private room is also facing south, Tom's main seat is on the opposite side of the door, and a neat and square table is placed in the center of the private room.

Facing the gate, sitting in the main direction of the north facing south, there is a mahogany Taishi chair with exquisite carving, and two Taishi chairs with slightly inferior workmanship and material are placed in each of the other three directions.

The remaining six positions are filled with people, six East Asian employee leaders, only one of whom is a veteran foreman who joined Tom when he was in the New York office last year, and the remaining five are East Asian employee leaders who "sneaked away" from California with tens of thousands of East Asian employees.

And the protagonist of today's dinner, Tom Smith, has not arrived for a long time.
