Chapter 222: Seon Loses His Horse
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou has an accident!"
At this time, Zhou Yu was compiling textbooks in the study, but the cripple ran upstairs and pushed open the door of the study while talking.
Seeing that Zhou Yu's desktop was full of papers, the lame man was stunned for a moment, then closed the door again, raised his hand and tapped a few times.
Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said outside the door: "I've come in, let's say, what's the matter?" The way you look doesn't seem to be good news. ”
The cripple said with a stern expression: "Mr. Zhou, I just got the news that a batch of red wine we transported from the California vineyard had a car accident halfway through, and most of the wine was damaged, and only a small part was robbed. ”
"What? Red wine is also robbed? In what place? ”
The cripple frowned and pondered for a while: "The junction of Mississippi and Arkansas, where is relatively backward compared to New York State, the people are fierce, I heard that someone used a boulder to block the train tracks that had just come out of the tunnel, and as a result, the train hit the rock on the spot, the scene was extremely tragic, the conductor, deputy conductor and other staff died on the spot, I heard that there were some distinguished guests sitting in the carriage, but I am afraid that even the whole body can not be found in this way." ”
"Robbed ...... in the South"
Zhou Yu reached out and touched his chin, as if he was not surprised by this encounter.
Although New York is now a fairly developed international metropolis, in the southern part of the New World, and even in individual states and cities, there is still a semi-feudal life of landlords and slaves.
Racial discrimination there is very serious, and although it has been so long since the Civil War and the relevant laws for the abolition of slavery have been enacted, Zhou Yu knows that this cannot be eradicated overnight.
After all, as far as he knew, it was not until March 1995 that Mississippi officially announced the abolition of slavery, and it was almost the 21st century, so you can imagine how backward it is in this day and age.
"Mr. Zhou, I received news that the reason why that train was targeted was not because of our shipment, it can be said that our losses were only slightly, and that train was also loaded with a lot of gold and weapons."
"Weapons?"
Zhou Yu keenly caught these two words and looked at the cripple.
The cripple met his gaze and gave an affirmative reply, nodding his head: "That's right, it's a weapon!" Mr. Zhou, didn't you ask me to send someone to keep an eye on the people close to the governor's secretary a while ago? According to one of the intelligence officers, the nephew of the secretary Moore, after learning that the train had been attacked and robbed, packed up his things and left New York overnight, and after our covert investigation, his target was Mississippi! ”
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes slightly and thought for a moment: "Do you mean to suspect that the weapons that were snatched from the train this time are the ones I asked you to check last time that Secretary Moore traded with people behind geography?" ”
"Quite possibly! Mr. Zhou, otherwise his nephew would not have rushed to the place of the incident in such a hurry, and this incident also alarmed Washington, and they also sent a special commissioner, leading a large number of agents of the Intelligence Bureau to rush here, but Washington and Mississippi are far apart, and their speed must not be as fast as ours. ”
Zhou Yu looked at the cripple with a little surprise and said, "How did you know this news?" ”
The cripple rubbed his nose and said excitedly: "Then I have to thank Mr. Zhou, your madman friend Faneva, who and another scientific researcher intercepted a telegram when they were tinkering with the telegraph, and the content of it was sent by Washington to the governor of New York, and the news was recorded on it." ”
"Faneva they actually intercepted the telegram from Washington? These guys ......," Zhou Yu muttered in his heart with a lot of amusement.
He wouldn't be surprised if one day these tech nerds said they had built rockets.
After all, these crazy people are not lacking in brains, what they lack is only vision, just a point, an opportunity, and the latter is precisely the strength of Zhou Yu, a traverser, he often throws out some scientific and technological theories that are decades ahead of the current from time to time, and mysteriously pretended to be a certain letter on the surface, coaxing these scientific and technological nerds to be stunned.
Zhou Yu looked like a cripple with satisfaction, and said in an affirmative tone: "I didn't expect that I only talked about the importance of information warfare a few nights ago, you have learned and applied it so quickly, very good, information warfare is a very important and crucial part of the future war battlefield, if you can intercept the enemy's intelligence and add 1 to target, sometimes it will become a key hand in determining the outcome of the battle."
Let them continue to study, and then I am going to allocate a separate sum of money for the construction of signal towers and base stations, of course, this must be approved by the parliament, and the government will allocate funds, and this kind of thing that can make money, earn fame, and also benefit oneself must not fall into the hands of others. ”
Zhou Yu thought of this, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked at the cripple and said: "If your information is true, and the weapon robbed by the bandits this time really belongs to Secretary Moore's private transaction with someone, then ...... It must not see the light of day, and it must not dare to let the commissioner from Washington find out about this, and on the contrary, he will not be able to use official power to recover this weapon in a big way!
I guess they're going to be secretly trying to recover it with the help of some gangs, so keep an eye out for it, let me know if there's any sign of it, and I wouldn't mind a trip to Mississippi if the time is right. ”
The cripple's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you also interested in that batch of weapons?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Since we got this news, why should we miss it if we can do it easily?" We didn't have a lot of weapons and ammunition left in our stockpile, and if we want to organize young people from China to come to New York, training shooting will be an indispensable part, after all, a good gunner is fed with bullets, so ...... You should be able to understand what I mean. ”
The cripple licked his lips excitedly and said, "Understood! Of course I do! Mr. Zhou, I'll let people do it, keep an eye on them, this time the beauty difference will have to fall on us no matter what~! ”
Seeing the cripple limp away, Zhou Yu sat behind the desk and thought for a while, then stood up and said to the corridor: "Xiucai, come here~"
After a while, Lu Xiucai entered the study from his room.
It can be seen that his eyes are red and his eye circles are a little dark, and the knowledge and ideas instilled by Zhou Yu in the past few days have made Lu Xiucai, the most educated intellectual in C13, a little powerless and very hard to learn.
"Xiucai, help me ask from the side, has the injured Roosevelt returned home in New York State? If there is, I still have to pay a visit, and his injury should not be announced to the public, so pay attention to the skills when asking. ”
Lu Xiucai rubbed his eyes and said, "I know how to ask, then I'll make sure about this matter now." ”
"Hmm."
Seeing off Xiucai, Zhou Yu leaned on the back of the chair and lifted Erlang's legs, very relieved.
As soon as they arrived in the New World to determine the division of labor, he intended to train Lu Xiucai in the direction of a professional politician, which was also the latter's ideal and goal.
Lu Xiucai did not disappoint him, and showed more talent than ordinary people in this regard, which also made Zhou Yu decide that in addition to instilling new ideas in everyone, the Chamber of Commerce did not care much about the various businesses under its jurisdiction at the moment.
C13 Everyone is growing at a very alarming rate, maybe in the near future, he can really rest assured that his brothers can take charge of the industry and expand the industry of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce to other states and counties, or even countries.
Zhou Yu is going to lay out in advance for that game of chess.
