Just when Ferrand Knox thought that he had mistaken Zhao Chuanxin and felt that he was a principled person, Zhao Chuanxin came to say this again.

“……”

Temperamental, unpredictable talents are the most difficult to control.

Obviously, Zhao Chuanxin is.

Ferrand Knox has already written: "When we achieve our goal, the international condominium will have your share in addition to the share of the countries." ”

It is equivalent to letting Zhao Chuanxin betray the country in disguise and buy him with the interests of the traitor.

Zhao Chuanxin put away Erlang's legs, leaned forward, shook his fingers and said, "No, my friend." I've always had to get my hands on it first. ”

In the world of the Old God Codex, Zhao Chuanxin always does tasks first and then gets paid.

On the earth, Zhao Chuan's salary is to get paid first and then pit people.

"But, Zhao, we haven't mastered the South Manchurian Railway and the Dongqing Railway yet."

"I want something else." Zhao Chuanxin said: "I ask you to immediately use your resources and connections to transport trams to Yubin Mansion and Lugang Town, and send engineers to lay electric rails, the cost of the engineers will be paid by you, and we will pay for the laying of the tracks ourselves." This thing has to be done first. ”

"This ......," Ferrand Knox chuckled in his heart. It's hard for me to do that. ”

"Difficult? If it's hard, don't do it. Zhao Chuanxin suddenly turned his face and put his hands on the table, as if he wanted to lift the table.

"Uh...... Zhao, don't worry, you're really hot-tempered. Ferrand Knox originally wanted to bargain a little bit, but it didn't seem to work, he could only say: "Actually, Zhao, I have always had close ties with major consortia. Many times, they play a crucial role in who gets to the top. They're reasonable people, and when there's enough chips at the table, I think they're happy to put in a little bit of a squeeze. However, Zhao, you need to know that you need to have enough chips at the table. ”

"What do you mean, you just say it."

Ferrand Knox said bluntly: "Zhang Zhidong, the Minister of Military Machinery of your country, has been appointed to concurrently supervise the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and the Sichuan-Han Railway in Hubei Province, and wants to nationalize the Hu-Guangzhou Railway from the control of private capitalists. We want to compete, and we need your permission. In addition, I have an alternative plan in the plan outside the border, if Japan and Russia do not agree, I think the United States will fully fund the construction of a railway from Jinzhou-Zhou to Ai-Hun, and I don't want to see Japan and Russia dominate, right? ”

Zhao Chuanxin's heart beat faster.

He is willing to fight with Ferrand Knox, not to betray the country, but to take advantage of the United States.

Zhao Chuanxin knew that if the United States wanted the East Qing Railway and the South Manchurian Railway to become an international condominium, it was simply impossible, even if he participated in them.

Japan and Russia have already signed a secret treaty, and the United States will only make them abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to resist Zhao Chuanxin and the United States signing a second secret treaty.

By the way, the British will be turned over, and France will not agree to it at this time because of the international situation and the ambiguity of the British. Germany will support the United States, but don't forget that it is not the United States that is in Europe, it is Germany, and his support for the United States will only isolate itself from the European countries, so he can only give up.

Japan and Russia are already hostile to Zhao Chuanxin, even if Zhao Chuanxin makes them more hostile?

But the international condominium of this matter is purely a delusion of Ferrand Knox, and Zhao Chuanxin can cooperate with him to perform.

But it was another matter for him to build another railway outside the border.

Zhao Chuanxin insisted on going his own way, and he had to build it, and neither Tsarist Russia nor the Japanese could stop it.

The United States is different from Japan and Russia, they are on the other side of the ocean, and they are beyond the reach of the whip.

Zhao Chuanxin is not a Qing court with a strong heart, not a soft persimmon that is allowed to be manipulated by others.

The railroad was built on his territory, and even if the United States funded it, even if they had the right to build the road, they didn't want to control the railroad.

You build the railway, and you can share the money you earn, but you don't want to get involved in management.

If you are not satisfied, you can try it, they can't send a large number of soldiers to fight in China, and the gunboats threaten the ports outside the Guanwai, which is equivalent to a direct war with Japan and Russia, because that is not Zhao Chuanxin's territory.

Moreover, once Zhao Chuanxin competes for the management of the new railway, Japan and Russia will definitely be happy to see it, which is better than the Americans in control, and Zhao Chuanxin is not a country after all.

Once Zhao Chuanxin mastered a whole railway line running through the north and south of Guanwai, then he would really be able to compete with Tsarist Russia and Japan.

He was surprised and happy in his heart, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face: "Hu Guang Railway is easy to say, it doesn't hurt if I promise you." It's just that if they want to rebuild a railway outside the Kansai, I'm afraid that Japan and Russia will be unable to sit idly by. ”

The Hu-Guangzhou Railway and Zhang Zhidong's borrowing of money from the foreign powers were already a foregone conclusion, and Zhao Chuanxin did not understand why the Japanese and Americans valued him so much.

He didn't know that he was already a very important factor in the interests of the powers in China, after all, Zhao Chuanxin was really good at stealing, he had already robbed a number of coal and iron mines, and also drove away Belgium, everyone was worried that he would make trouble, especially Hankou was also Zhao Chuanxin's territory.

Ferrand Knox sneered in his heart.

Of course, he knows that Japan and Russia will not let them build a new railway, if it is simple, do you still need to ask you Zhao Chuanxin?

Zhao Chuanxin regarded him as the wronged leader, and he also wanted to use Zhao Chuanxin as a gunman.

So he smiled and said, "It's really difficult, but, Zhao, it seems that you are more important, you are the one who made them change their minds, right?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin's face was no longer embarrassed, even tangled and distorted, as if he was struggling violently in his heart.

And Ferrand Knox waited quietly for him to speak.

After a while, Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth: "If you have to do this, the railway line has to be changed, starting from KLQQ, crossing to Lugang Town, passing through Fengtian on the way, but the station cannot be located in the city, it must be outside the city." After that, it will go north from Lugang Town, pass through Chang-Chun Province, arrive at the Gol-Ross Qianqi, then Long-Jiangfu, Zha-Lantun, and end at the Dauriya area north of our Lubin Province. In this way, most of the railways can be passed through my territory, so that they can be safe, and Japan and Russia will not be able to control it. ”

Ferrand Knox only had a general idea of the route, but he didn't know so many place names.

He didn't even know that KLQQ, Fengtian, Lugang Town, Chang-Chun Mansion, Guoer-Ross Banner, Long-Jiang Mansion, Zha-Lantun, and Yunbin Mansion were either under the direct control of Zhao Chuanxin, or Zhao Chuanxin had a great right to speak.

He listened with a confused face: "This ...... I am afraid it is inappropriate to change the plan hastily. ”

He instinctively felt that it was inappropriate, as Zhao Chuanxin said, many routes were in his territory.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't accept him, and continued with a greedy look on his face: "Moreover, I also have to inject funds to own part of the road construction rights, otherwise the Qing court will not agree, and Japan and Russia will be even more jealous." ”

Ferrand Knox breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his greedy appearance.

It's just that Zhao Chuanxin wants to build the right to build roads, which makes him disdainful, he always thinks that although Zhao Chuanxin is strong and has a few stinky money in his hands, he still can't get on the stage.

How old are you, and you still want to get involved in the right of way?

But after thinking about it, Zhao Chuanxin has the right to build roads, which is better than the Qing court.

In between, there must be one party that has to hold part of the right to build the road.

He felt that Zhao Chuanxin was easier to control than the Qing court, and his personal consideration was always his personal interests, and even if there were many corrupt officials in the Qing court, after all, he had to be limited by the voices of the people, and he had to consider the interests of the country to some extent.

Ferrand Knox said, "Zhao, I need to go back and think about it and discuss it with someone, these things are too advanced, after all, I haven't been in that position at this time." ”

That being said, Ferrand Knox was excited.

He went back, and once he had negotiated with the consortia, he had another layer of security as secretary of state, because he was the only one who could control the process.

Even, Ferrand Knox started to run for the big boss in the United States.

But that's just a matter of thinking, after all, his reputation among the people is insufficient, but the post of secretary of state will be a springboard for him to jump to the top.

Ferland Knox suggested, "Zhao, please give me a detailed plan, I will stay in North Tower for two days, and before that, you can give me the plan." ”

He has time, but Zhao Chuanxin is very busy.

He bared his teeth and smiled: "Because I have a good memory and strong hands-on ability, I have never liked to drag mud and water in the office." Why don't you sit down for a moment, and I'll write you a plan. ”

With that, he got up and walked towards the nearest study.

A black puppet craftsman is released, and six hands hold a pen and write at the same time.

After a while, the book was completed, and Zhao Chuanxin blew the ink and walked out.

When the proposal was handed to Ferrand Knox, Ferland Knox saw that the ink had not yet completely dried, and it was definitely freshly written.

The handwriting is neat and beautiful, and the copper plate printing ligatures popular in the mid-18th century are beautiful.

"Zhao, the typewriter can't be so fast......"

"It's good for you to get used to it, otherwise everyone won't call me a genius."

“……”

Ferrand Knox waited for the others to finish writing before he put away the plan and got up to leave.

Li Shutong and Liu Yuanshan in the living room watched in astonishment as Zhao Chuanxin and Frandy Pavit sent Ferrand Knox away.

Liu Yuanshan whispered: "It's strange and weird, it's really weird to be an official, he came in tremblingly, leaving like a spring breeze, Brother Xishuang, why do you say this?" Wouldn't anyone who is an official be angry? ”

Li Shutong shook his head: "Politicians are the most incorruptible and shameless, who knows why?" ”

Yes, the thirst for power allows Ferrand Knox to completely neutralize the fear of the "bloodthirsty butcher".

This is the same reason that capitalists can sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths when their interests reach a certain extent.

When Ferrand Knox leaves, Freddy Pavit and Zhao return to the living room.

Freddie Pavit said, "Sir, there are two things for you. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"The first thing is that the earthquake in Italy, which probably killed hundreds of thousands of people, should be a stimulus to the stock market. The second thing, the Parker pen didn't go well......"

He repeated the words of George Peck's son, Russell Peck, to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately picked up the landline to dial.

"Hello, this is Abraham Cohen, manager of Starlight Catering."

Zhao Chuanxin can imagine that Abraham Cohen is sitting in the office and pretending to be serious.

He said: "I'm Zhao Chuanxin. ”

Sure enough, on the other side, Abraham Cohen, who was sitting in the office of Xinghui Catering Company in New York, was leaning on the back of the chair and crossing Erlang's legs, but at this time he was sitting precariously with a serious face: "Boss, are you in the United States?" What are the commands? ”

At this time, the telephone leaked seriously, whether it was Freddy Pawit who was close, or Li Shutong and Liu Yuanshan, who were sitting farther away, they could hear it.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Gather people and go to Wisconsin to find Russell Pike of Parker and let him know why the flowers are so popular." ”

"Boss, how far are you going to go? Are you going to kill him? ”

When Abraham Cohen asked this sentence, Liu Yuanshan and Uncle Li's eyes widened.

It turns out that in this foreign land, Zhao Chuanxin can also decide the life and death of others with one word.

And the two of them are still struggling with discrimination.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "That's not necessary, after all, we still have to buy goods." So let's see if he keeps a horse, and if so, cut off his beloved horse's head and put it next to his bed at night, so that he can see it at first sight when he wakes up. If he doesn't love horses, see if there's anything else. After that, find a lawyer to come to the door to talk, and let's go before we salute. By the way, the lawyer will find Brother Situ's lawyer, called Franklin. ”

Looking for Xiao Luo, the future big boss of the United States, to run errands, Zhao Chuanxin is still quite satisfied.

"Okay, boss, I know how to do it. Are you coming to New York? ”

"Don't go, do it well."

Abraham Cohen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that Zhao Chuanxin told him to go to New York, and then he didn't leave, and there would be an extra shackle on his head in the future.

Who wants to have a emperor squatting on their head?

Now although the Smith brothers disagree with him, they have to listen to him on the surface.

How majestic.

Zhao Chuanxin hung up the phone, stretched his waist, and said to everyone: "I'm leaving for The Hague, Xishuang, you can take a boat back to China by yourself, and take care of things and rush back to Yubin Mansion as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yuanshan's face couldn't help but show a gloomy look.

"Brother Yuanshan, when I return to China, I will send a group of international students over, and you will be responsible."

The gloom on Liu Yuanshan's face disappeared, and he doubted himself nervously: "This, can it be done?" ”

Sure enough, it was successfully diverted.

"If you keep eating, pigs will get fat; Believe in yourself, and the sparrow becomes a phoenix. Zhao Chuanxin raised his fist at her: "Come on." ”

Exciting baby, he understands.

Liu Yuanshan: "......"

Zhao Chuanxin went out without looking back.

Uncle Li was speechless: "The charcoal worker is in China, and he destroyed all the locks around Lugang Town, but he came to the United States to build locks, he is really kind, and he has never harmed his own people......

Isn't the food truck gang just a start? It is also done to commit evil, to kill people and set fires, and to coerce and induce......

Liu Yuanshan: "......"

……

Chester Harbor, the wind was whining on the beach, Zhao Chuanxin's coat was blown up, his hat could no longer be worn, and his thick black hair fluttered upwards diagonally, provoking his healthy hairline.

This hairline made a few good-looking girls wandering around couldn't help but take a few more looks.

What is the standard of handsome?

A symmetrical face, thick black eyebrows, a healthy hairline, and a well-proportioned figure, if a man has these, even if he is not handsome, he will attract girls.

If you add a tall posture and a dignified expression, it will be even more incredible.

A man with these characteristics will not fall behind in the slightest when standing in a group of handsome guys.

This part of temperament, Lao Zhao is dead.

It's just that the wind on the beach is too strong, and the few wandering girls can't resist the cold to the bones after all, and leave with a smile from afar.

Zhao Chuanxin waited for the gust of wind to blow away all the people nearby, then took off his coat, took out the soft gold armor and put it in.

The soft gold armor closed, the wind suddenly subsided, and the warmth surged.

Zhao Chuanxin stood on the dock, jumped into the sea with a front somersault, and galloped steadily on the ethereal traveler.

The North Atlantic is choppy in winter.

Northeasterly and easterly winds from high latitudes, combined with southwesterly and strong westerly winds from the northern edge of the subtropics, converge here to form a vortex.

This stormy "belt" moves north and south in winter.

Zhao Chuanxin set off at this time, and coincidentally moved forward on this "belt".

Fortunately, the soft gold armor was sealed, and when a huge wave hit, he usually passed through the waves.

The huge wave extended Zhao Chuanxin's journey in disguise.

It was the first time for Zhao Chuanxin to rush in such a harsh marine environment, and he was much more tired than on a rugged road.

Not far away, on the North Atlantic route, on a freighter carrying ore, the 18-year-old crew shouted to Master: "Look, there is something in the wind and waves, look, God, it can't be the devil, right?" ”

"Shut up, Ernest, shut your crow's mouth, you can't talk gibberish at sea."

"But you see, there's clearly something."

Ernest's master looked around, and there was really a figure walking through the wind and waves.

A wave that even the freighter was about to tremble crashed over, and the master and apprentice let out an exclamation.

But the figure was like surfing, first gliding along the pipe wave, and when the pipe wave closed, the figure flew several meters high on the wind and waves.

Whether it's a forehand wave or a backhand wave, the figure is as flat as walking on the ground and easy to control.

However, a wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the clearing wave group churned farther, making the figure out of its original track, and the person violated common sense and shuttled against the waves......

"It can't be!" The apprentice muttered.

Master's face was serious: "Don't look at it, on the sea, there are always many strange things happening. This must not be a surfer, even the natives of Hawaii would not dare to do this, not to mention that this is already an ocean zone, it must not be a person, whether it is a god or a devil or Poseidon. ”

"Master, look, it's gone."

Sure enough, the figure was gone, leaving only the waves on the sea.

It turned out that Zhao Chuanxin couldn't resist the wind and waves, and decided to dive under the sea on this road.

But there are also treacherous currents under the sea, which makes Zhao Chuanxin's speed not fast.

After walking for more than three miles, he was even swept more than ten meters below the sea by the sudden appearance of the vortex.

This is called sea pump, which is called in the mouth of fishermen in coastal areas.

"Blanch!" Zhao Chuanxin broke out in a cold sweat.

Xingyue acts as a power outside, unable to make the sound of a big mom, so can only type on the demon's foresight goggles: You better pray, the energy fluctuation convergence rune does not locate the holy light channel into this rough sea.

Regarding the use of energy fluctuation convergence rune fragments, Zhao Chuanxin was both apprehensive and expectant.

"Open the world map," he said. ”

The map appeared on the goggles, and Zhao Chuanxin looked at every corner of the world.

Central asia? Not good.

Australia? I haven't been, I don't really want to go.

New Zealand seems to be a good place, but he hasn't been there either, so he can't locate it.

The third brother's lair?

Zhao Chuanxin felt uncomfortable when he thought about the vibrant Ganges water.

Africa?

He doesn't want to go to the desert again, but Tanzania and Madagascar are good, why don't you take a stroll?

But look at how hard he is in a hurry now, forget it.

In the end, Zhao decided to cross the North Atlantic, reach the coast of Portugal and Spain and head north, passing through France and Belgium, where the environment is acceptable.

Sometimes underwater, sometimes on the water, Zhao Chuanxin walked for nearly eight hours and was exhausted.

Xingyue reminded him: "There is an ocean liner in the direction of you at ten o'clock, you can go up to rest and eat." ”

If a person is alone in this vast sea, it is really like a year.

Fortunately, this is a route, and there are many ships.

As long as you can see the boat, you will feel comforted.

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly ran towards the passenger ship.

This ship is called Lusitania, and it is a giant passenger ship with a length of 240 meters, and its luxury, Zhao Chuanxin believes that it is not much worse than the Titanic behind.

It is supposed to be a large steam turbine with the most cutting-edge technology in the world, and the Lusitania is extremely fast.

But no matter how fast it was, it was not as fast as Zhao Chuanxin, and at this time the wind and waves were much smaller, and he stepped on the ethereal traveler, like a cannonball, and headed towards the Lusitania.

Sou......

Approaching the flank of the stern of the passenger ship, Zhao Chuanxin flew out of the water by the waves, and when he was in the air, the soft gold armor cracked from behind.

When he landed, he was no longer wearing armor, but was wearing a decent Shuanggong silk suit.

Patting the folds on his suit, Zhao Chuanxin took out the Humboldt hat and buckled it on his head, walked on the deck casually, stopped outside the first-class restaurant, looked in through the glass, and said to Xingyue: "Give me a chance, I want to flash in." ”

In the first-class cafeteria, at this time, only the passengers and waiters were sparsely lala.

Just when their eyes avoided the corner of the restaurant bar,

Xingyue said, "It's now." ”

Zhao Chuanxin flashed in an instant.

Why be so careful?

Because the ticket is a meal, the restaurant menu is different for the first, second and third class, and if you want to go in to eat, the waiter at the door will check the ticket.

Zhao Chuanxin walked to the dining table and sat down, snapping his fingers.

At first, the waiter came attentively, but after Zhao Chuanxin took off his hat and revealed a unique Asian face, he was very stunned.

First class, neither the first class, nor the second class have Asian faces, and even Asians are not allowed to enter.

So the waiter smiled and handed over the menu with a blank face.

"Farmer's consommé, Maryland chicken, flounder fillet, eggs Argenteuil, salmon egg rolls, Norwegian anchovies, Bolognese sausages, roast beef, lettuce and a cold Munich beer." Zhao Chuanxin didn't care about that much, he opened his mouth: "Oh, by the way, it's best to have fattened beef, the best chest, and burnt it." ”

The waiter was dumbfounded.

A man with typical Mediterranean olive skin next to him frowned, and asked Zhao Chuanxin at the next table: "Are you Chinese?" ”
