Chapter 194 The Exclamation of the British

Raccoon City is named after the large number of wild raccoons living in the vicinity. Although it has only been in the hands of the company for two months, it still shows that there is enough potential. Raccoon fur is a very precious and rare fur for both white Europeans in the 18th century and Chinese in the 21st century. Originally, there were still a lot of them in North America, and the price was enough, but during this time, because of Xiao Lin's large number of acquisitions, the price of these raccoon skins has doubled several times in two months.

As a result, it has developed into the company's newest fur market. Fortunately, Xiao Lin transferred all the company's fur business here, and since this is the case, then he will not fail to build this place well. You must know that most of the company's development to the present is supported by Xiao Lin's reselling of furs, gold and antiques. For the fur business, Xiao Lin still values it very much, compared to gold and antiques, it is still relatively easy to get rid of.

Thanks to the efforts of the company's strong construction team, the raccoon market has changed dramatically. These, Collins who came from Boston, felt very clearly. Collins Limman, the successor of the Limman family, the best person of the new generation, cannot be said to be both civil and military, but he dares to fight, thinks carefully, and plans rigorously, which are all words praised by others. Earl Linman, along with the other two counts, complied with the will of the people to remove Charlie, and wanted to send someone to make peace with the company, and Collins, who had been brought in Raccoon City, took the initiative to sign up.

Although he is very worried, Count Lin Man can't change his decision as a son with great ideas, anyway, this time he is going to release goodwill, and there shouldn't be much risk. When Collins entered Raccoon City, he found that it had basically completely changed. The original low and chaotic buildings have disappeared, replaced by small buildings of three and five floors, with the same style, the same decoration, many of the same size, and are not made of wood, but of a material that is not stone but very similar to stone.

And the top, instead of a variety of planks, is a strange concave and convex stone flakes, they don't know, they are tiles. Xiao Lin did not like pure white style architecture, and pure Chinese style architecture was too complex and time-consuming to build, so he adopted the style of combining Chinese and Western styles in modern society. It doesn't seem to have any literary atmosphere, but it is full of modern atmosphere. The unique style makes Collins look more comfortable, at least organized.

The roads are not the muddy roads of the past, and the main roads are cement roads paved with cement. Because the construction period is too short, it can only reach the level of 21st century country roads. Of course, in this era, even the company did not use more than five tons of trucks, so it was naturally not afraid of the cement road being crushed. The various branch paths are gravel roads paved with gravel, and you may feel diaphragm feet when you step on the soles of your shoes, but at least it is much better than stepping on them with a foot of mud and feces and urine.

Corinth found that the people here had abandoned their traditional European dress. A small number of people, dressed in full suits, carried a small leather handbag. The other part of the person is a waiter's suit jacket, and the shoes are a kind of canvas shoes that he doesn't know at all, and they are also sports shoes made by the company itself. There are also some people who wear a full body of work denim, which is sturdy and durable, and it is also quite convenient.

Corinth's envoy party passed through the gates of Raccoon City, which had been left behind, and could no longer move on. Collins watched for a while, and the two sides finally agreed on the next course of action. As the envoy, Corinth will rush to the administration building with three retinues escorting the precious treasures, where Sholin is waiting for his arrival. Most of the envoys, led by the company officials, will go to the place where they stay, which is said to be the best hotel in Raccoon City.

And the people of the Addams family and the Pandey family that they escorted will be handed over to the company's troops for care. Because he had received the news a long time ago, in order to give them a dismount, Xiao Lin deliberately transferred the people from the pro-guard regiment. As soon as we talked about it, there was a sound of neat footsteps. Collins followed the voice, and a group of soldiers who looked like iron-blooded elites trotted over. For many in the legations, this was the first time they had seen the company's troops.

This is the top elite platoon in the Guards Corps, half white, half Indian, and a few of the latest Chinese to join. It looks like there are only two races, but in fact there are three. All wore Huaxia's Type 03 field special military uniforms. Type 03 was also completely eliminated only a few years ago, and they are all excellent quality clothes, and it is a pity to waste them. In order to distinguish the Guards Regiment from ordinary troops, Xiao Lin purchased a batch and used it to equip them.

Although Collins was curious why it was not the legendary Hessian military uniform, he had to admit that the warriors wearing this military uniform were more heroic and handsome. There is a Type 56 submachine gun pinned to the back, and a formal Type 21 7-round 9.1mm caliber pistol hanging from the belt, which is imitated from the classic pistol desert ying (which is still harmonious), and the performance is about 75%, which is enough. Next to the pistol, there were a total of five grenades. Three blasting grenades, one flash grenade and one smoke grenade, except for the blasting grenade, which was Huaguo's Type 67 bought by Xiao Lin, the others were all produced by the company.

A pair of military boots with a thick-bottomed look that should be very comfortable. A helmet that looks like it's not gold or iron, but it basically protects the brain. A pair of epaulettes, which look like the finishing touch, fits perfectly. Between the shoulders and elbows, there are the company's unique markings, a musket and a hammer, representing the company's military and working class, and the two pillars of the company. This is the pirated party flag of China, which has not yet been established, and the future national flag will be talked about later.

The army was extremely efficient, simply and effectively took over the task of transporting the population of the two families, and then walked away. There was no nonsense the whole time, and a Pandey family tried to struggle when they broke away from Corinth's control, but was caught by a warrior and fell over the shoulder, and then pressed down on one knee and twisted with one hand, directly making it lose the power to resist. From these people, Collins felt the power of absolute elite. This kind of breath was only seen in the British Royal Guard when he was a child. It's not the kind of ceremonial escort, but the kind of escort made up of veterans of the war.

Collins had no way to look more, and the company's officials had pulled them to the public carriage battle. As a qualified city, how can there be no public transportation. Buses and trams are out of the question, but horse-drawn buses are still possible. The captured horses were gathered, three large horses, pulling a large carriage large enough to hold twenty-five people. Because of the scientific structure, shock-absorbing springs and rubber tires, three ordinary horses can pull.

Xiao Lin didn't deliberately charter any carriages, and directly let them ride in a carriage with ordinary people. The company officials have a bicycle, but you can't be watched on your bicycle. Fortunately, because it is a government building, it is best to keep quiet around, few civilians will take the 1 public carriage to go to the government building, but some businessmen, to go to the tax declaration and payment, will take the 1 road, to the direction of the government building.

Collins tried to squeeze into the car first, but was stopped by officials. Even if he is an official, the company's officials can't take the overlord car. Two cents at a time for the whole journey, which is really a drop in the bucket for the salaries of civil servants in these companies. Collins was also curious, since they didn't have this kind of privilege, then why did they become officials, and everyone laughed and didn't speak. The company implements a high treatment policy, and being an official is really a little richer than doing business. With a generous salary and a variety of benefits, the people in the company desperately want to be officials, and besides, this is also a proof of their ability.

As the carriage walked slowly, Corinth also saw a lot of scenery along the way. It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and everyone seems to be racing against time, it's not who forced it, it's not what it looks like, it's really for the sake of interests. This kind of scene is basically not seen in the British colonies. People with backgrounds, no matter how slow they drag, can still get enough benefits. People with no background, no matter how hard they try, can only get some food every day, and sometimes, they can't even get some food. Collins could see everyone's expressions, full of anticipation for the future.

Everyone is very confident, their faces are ruddy, and they are well fed and clothed at a glance. Collins had enough information in his hands that he knew what Raccoon City was like before it fell to the company. Even at its peak, it was less than one-fifth of what it is now. Collins kept exclaiming in his heart, this Yanhuang Trading Company was terrible. The company is not an aggressor, but a conqueror. These two are different concepts, and the style of acting is also different.

The invaders will only burn and loot, no matter how strong they are, they will not stay long. Because the invaders are unpopular with the people, people obey on the surface, but in their hearts they are planning a rebellion and an uprising. No matter how many such people there are, Collins is not worried, because one day, they will fight back and, with the cooperation of the people, overturn their notice. The conquerors, although still strong, are disciplined and do not infringe on the common people. They have more policies that can make life better for civilians in the occupied areas, and thus win the hearts and minds of their people.

With the will of the people, it is natural that their rule will last for a long time. If they want to counterattack, the British have no internal response, and even if they want to plant some spies inside, they may be reported by the civilians.
