It seems that as long as he is handed over his share of the benefits on a regular basis, no matter what inhumane deeds the Japanese army did on the many islands in the Pacific, Clayhauer will just pretend not to have seen it. Of course, for Japan, it was not all good news. A piece of bad news came: at the end of 1**4, Clayhauer spoke out and increased the share of Japan's plunder that had to be turned over to 70%. ! Of course, Japan was dissatisfied with this. Slowly, by the beginning of 1**5, Japan had quietly cooperated with the Americans to jointly kill Clayhauer. The reason couldn¡¯t be simpler. The Japanese think it is too ¡®unreasonable¡¯ for Clayhauer to take the big position without doing anything, and the big position keeps rising! My own Yamato soldiers are working hard on the front line, but he can just sit there and collect money without doing anything. This is not in line with the "fair principle of more work, more gain"! Especially when they heard that the U.S. Navy had built a group of powerful battleships that were ready to go into battle at any time, the Japanese became even more excited. The Americans promised that after defeating Clayhauer, the interests of the Pacific would be equally divided with the Japanese, and both parties would be in a position of equal cooperation. However, what the Japanese did not expect was that the Panama Canal explosion directly blew the United States back ten years, and the secret agreement on cooperation between the two parties was shelved indefinitely. To be honest, the Japanese were shocked by the Panama explosion at first, thinking that it was done by someone sent by Clayhauer, and speculated that he might know the secret agreement between himself and the Americans? However, it was not until April that the Japanese found any movement in Clayhauer, and they were relieved. After the Queen of England took away most of the main battleships of the Pacific Fleet, the Japanese aggression began to emerge again. The Queen has returned to the UK, and the mess in Europe will not be cleared up in two or three years, so. For me, Japan, is there an opportunity to take advantage of the empty Clayhauer? Thinking this way, the Japanese immediately made a plan to try to kill Clayhauer alone. Of course they won¡¯t be so reckless this year. The plan they made is to start from next year, that is, 1**6. Japan will gradually expand the size of its navy and spend heavily to bribe ship admirals who seem to be distant from Clayhauer. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT of Japan Japan wants to monopolize the Pacific Ocean for no other reason than the Pacific Ocean is too rich. Let¡¯s just talk about the route from Australia to America, which Clayhauer clearly stated that the Japanese were not allowed to touch. The profits generated every day are really mouth-watering! This route carries a lot of expensive cargo, and the most expensive ones are all kinds of ores! The transporter of the ore, called Beluga Energy Company, is now a 'crocodile', controlling nearly 80% of Australia's mines and railways Wait, someone may ask. Isn¡¯t Australia a ¡®three-thirds world¡¯? Why has the White Whale become the only one in the family now? um, yes. Forgot to explain, at the beginning of this year, Andrew Carnegie saw how lively Europe was, and in order to express his "welcome and salute", he also lit a "fire" in Australia. ??It would be a shame for myself not to burn this ¡®fire¡¯! Britain was overwhelmed by the German High Seas Fleet, and its influence on Australia plummeted. On the other hand, Carnegie, with the support of Clayhauer's fleet, only swallowed 80% of the Australian mineral veins, which was already quite merciful. Today is April 8th, and the sun is shining brightly in Australia. A smell of peace. Carnegie was quite disdainful of what Long Hao called Australia: It¡¯s just a broken island where prisoners are exiled. It¡¯s just a bit larger in area. Does it deserve to be called a ¡®continent¡¯? In Carnegie's view, to be called a 'continent', it must either have developed countries, such as Europe, or have a long history, such as Asia and South America But Australia has neither of these two points, the only What can be explained is: Long Hao's next target is probably Australia! The Alchemy Kingdom occupied Australia and then called itself a continent. I believe everyone would be happy to do this to put themselves in a favorable position. Carnegie was extremely disdainful of Long Hao's words in San Francisco last year that he would no longer occupy land. In words, it was just two words: "Hypocrisy!" Carnegie cursed Long Hao. , and then shouted to Seajeka who was playing with the kangaroo not far away: "Little angel, don't anger that kangaroo, its fist is very sharp!" "Gegege, I understand, Sumi and I are Very good friendyou won'tHit me, right? " Seajeka kissed the big kangaroo and smiled even more happily. Seajeka is a few years older, her chest has begun to show its size, and her whole body is extremely beautiful. Although it has not grown yet, it is already a big enough The little beauty of the country has arrived! It must be said that the genes of mixed-race people are good. Sumi is the big kangaroo that Seajeka hugs his neck and rides on. He also has two kangaroos in his pocket. The jumping little kangaroo was jumping around on the grass with a helpless expression on his back. It could be seen that Sumi was being taught to be obedient. Can Carnegie look back? With a slight laugh in her heart, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the Australian sunshine. At this time, Seajeka was called the "Alchemist". Qianqian was shocked when she came back after living with Long Hao for two months. A little girl can actually control plants! As long as there is green, it is difficult for others to harm her. Carnegie still clearly remembers that when the big kangaroo Sumi was first captured, his temper was unruly. , two not too thick forearms, but instantly knocked down three of Carnegie's outstanding bodyguards. However, after Sumi encountered the seemingly harmless Seajeka, everyone was completely unlucky within a day. After being stumbled thousands of times by the grass under his feet, he would have restrained his violent temper, right? What's more, on the second day, Sumi, covered in bruises from the fall, was lifted into the sky by several thick vines, with his head facing forward. Next. A whole eight hours Even Carnegie felt sympathy for Sumi after his precious daughter learned such an amazing skill. Carnegie complained about Long Hao taking Seajeka away for two months. The thoughts were all gone. Who doesn¡¯t want his daughter to have the ability to protect herself? Carnegie asked Seajeka a lot about Long Hao¡¯s ¡®methods¡¯, except for the term ¡®alchemist¡¯. . Then he found nothing. When he saw his little angel pitifully saying to himself: "These must be kept secret", Carnegie gave up the idea of ??getting to the bottom of it. "Well, as long as my little angel is happy and healthy, Who cares about the alchemist, can't I just ignore Long Hao's mysterious things? But there are some things that Carnegie is responsible for, and he can't leave them alone until Seajeka returns home. Within a week, Long Hao found Carnegie and asked him to find a vacant land in Australia that was not allowed to be inhabited. It was rich in mineral resources. It had to be at least 20,000 square kilometers. Give him 20,000 square kilometers as soon as possible! After hearing this, Neji's first reaction was to sneer at Long Hao: 20,000 square kilometers of uninhabited land still has mineral potential. Even if Australia is sparsely populated, it's not easy to deal with. But it's just a complaint! Neji worked as quickly as possible to get a large piece of no-man's land that met the conditions for Long Hao. After the no-man's land was established, Long Hao came over with a hundred Chinese children. After Carnegie saw it. He was very surprised by this, because he had never been to San Francisco. With his good memory, he was able to identify several of the hundred children as students from the football school! During a certain event, Carnegie happened to watch one of their football games, and one of the children won seven dollars. impressive. Carnegie was puzzled on the spot, what was Long Hao doing here with a hundred football school students? Twenty thousand square kilometers, how many football fields can be built? Are they here to train their football skills? Carnegie's question did not receive a direct answer from Long Hao. Long Hao just told him: "In a few years, these children in your eyes will shock you!" Carnegie did not have the patience to wait for a few years. As the saying goes, ten thousand years is too long and you only need to seize the day. He wanted to know the answer now, but Long Hao always gave him a mysterious smile, which made Carnegie angry and helpless. And what shocked Carnegie again was that when Seajeka saw these one hundred children, she obediently ran up and called a few people "senior brothers." ¡°Well, shi chest, that¡¯s the Chinese pronunciation. Carnegie silently wrote it down, and after sending Long Hao and his party away, he asked someone to look up the Chinese meaning of this pronunciation. After knowing it, Carnegie was surprised again, but after thinking for a while, the doubts in his heart were reduced a lot. ??Are these kids not just for playing football? They are just like my little angels.?Some kind of magical special ability? Oh, no wonder Long Hao said, in a few years, they will shock me! Grass, I don¡¯t have to wait a few years, I am shocked now The no-man¡¯s land is in the southeastern corner of Australia. It is a remote area with mountains and water. It is mainly home to Australian native animals, and there are only a few hunters. , after taking the benefits from Beluga Energy Group, they happily moved away and went to the city to live the urban life they had longed for. So, there¡¯s really no one here. The purpose of Long Hao bringing these one hundred alchemists to Australia was to hone their collaboration skills. One hundred alchemists are the strongest and most promising force in Long Hao's alchemy sect. Like Wei Feng Xiao Yu, they all gained various 'superpowers' after crossing the threshold of alchemists. . Some of these abilities are normal, such as fire control, water control, wind control, grass control There are also abnormal ones, such as soft body, divine speed, hypnosis, animal communication In order to integrate these miscellaneous 'superpowers' Being together requires them to explore a lot and experiment a lot. This time, the 20,000 square kilometers of no-man¡¯s land that Long Hao asked Carnegie for is for them to toss around at will! The more you mess around, the bigger the noise will be, and the higher your coordination proficiency will be. This way they can live up to their envied ¡®superpowers¡¯! Can you not be envious? "At least Long Hao has never seen a 'little' alchemist with bonus abilities in later generations. Even he, until now, has endured the hardships of being an alchemist. Only then has a super power to control gravity. Of course, having said that, these ¡®superpowers¡¯ are just minor ways after all, and what Long Hao focuses on cultivating is their main path: alchemy. To put it bluntly, it is to improve their metal heart, improve their efficiency in absorbing metal elements, and increase the energy number of the gold source. Before reaching the bottleneck of the Metal Heart, they can complete self-improvement by finding good or bad metal ores on their own. This is no man's land. In fact, it was the 'experimental field' given to these one hundred alchemists by Long Hao. There must be mineral veins inside, but because it is an uninhabited land, even if there is, it has not been discovered yet. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It takes a hundred people to find them. Long Hao lectured them: "I have already taught you how to find mineral veins. Next, how to practice is your own business! Master leads the door, practice is personal, I have always believed in this old saying. You have to Remember, you are already good enough to be an alchemist, but if you want to go to the next level and become a successful person who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people, this trial is crucial for you. "Alchemists also have levels! , Long Hao faced these disciples and grandchildren. It will not be piled with gold like cultivating Breeze and Drizzle or Xiao Ke Yesula. Times have changed, and now he pursues the jungle law of survival of the fittest: I will create the conditions for you. But who can stand out depends on the efforts and luck of each of you. The 20,000 square kilometers of no-man¡¯s land is such a testing ground. After Long Hao finished speaking, he drifted away. He gave these one hundred alchemy disciples one year, and after one year, he would come back to check the results. In the uninhabited trial field. Long Hao only set one rule, not to kill each other, but as for mutual cooperation, it was left to one's own will and would not be forced. One year. Around the beginning of 1**6, Long Hao would be able to obtain an alchemy team composed of one hundred powerful alchemists! During this year, Long Hao would also take time to quietly come over to observe the progress. After all, these one hundred alchemy disciples were all rare and good seeds, and the loss of one would make Long Hao heartbroken. After settling the one hundred alchemy seedlings, Long Hao rushed back to his motherland. Since the year of Sino-Japanese War, too many things have happened in China. To summarize in a simplified way, even if the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was completely defeated, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was still greatly shaken! The Treaty of Weihai was one aspect, but after the Japanese were driven out of Korea by the Nightmare Knights, the imperial court's attitude towards this national hero group was another aspect. At the end of 1**4, after the Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated a birthday that was not comfortable but still luxurious enough, the Qing army launched a fierce siege against the Nightmare Knights. The Qing army, with Beiyang as its backbone, took action to kill all the troops who were suspected of being horse bandits outside the Pass but dared to make bold statements in support of Emperor Guangxu's restoration. The Qing army blocked the Nightmare Knights' way back north, trying to trap them to death on the Korean Peninsula. ?But this is obviously wishful thinking of the Qing army. In December of the First Sino-Japanese War, Shengjing announced that it would join the camp that supported the restoration of Emperor Guangxu. They sent troops and horses to attack front and back with the Nightmare Knights, beating the unprepared Qing army guarding the border between China and North Korea. On December 18, Emperor Guangxu was rescued in Beijing and escorted to Nanjing by the Nightmare Knights who had already entered Shandong. By the Spring Festival, Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne in Nanjing with Liu Kunyi's great help, and announced to the outside world that the Qing Dynasty was here to stay, and that the old demon queen in Beijing was rebellious and called on all loyal people in the world to fight against her! On the second day of the new year, the Empress Dowager Cixi responded immediately. She brought a five-year-old child from the clan and made him the new emperor, named Xuantong, to fight against Emperor Guangxu of Nanjing. This state of affairs that shocked the people of the country is known as the "Yiwei National Revolution" in history. The Yiwei State Revolution divided the Qing Dynasty into northern and southern parts. Historians generally call the court in Beijing the Northern Qing Dynasty, and the Guangxu Emperor in Nanjing the first emperor of the Southern Qing Dynasty. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone such a sensitive title as emperor. ??The Lantern Festival of Year Yiwei (1**6) has not yet passed, and tensions are rising on both sides of the river. Various forces are facing the choice of sides. The think tank and staff will be together, thinking hard, and calculating for the master which side they should stand on! If you stand in the right place, you will have at least three generations of glory and wealth. But if you stand in the wrong place, huh, your life savings will be wiped out, and your whole family will be executed! The situation at this time is somewhat similar to the Jingnan Campaign in the early Ming Dynasty. There are two emperors in Beijing and Nanjing, and both sides are preparing to use force to fight for the only throne. The only difference is that in the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was a serious imperial city, but now, Beijing is the nominally legitimate imperial capital. Various forces stepped up their calculations, but the more they calculated, the more they discovered that this time was indeed very similar to the Jingnan incident in the early Ming Dynasty. It was the one in Nanjing who had the upper hand! But what about the outcome? Will it be the same as the Battle of Jingnan? In the end, the weak defeated the strong? For a time, many forces were quite entangled. Someone made a list, from generals to soldiers, from equipment to food and grass, to carefully analyze the military strength of the Northern and Southern Qing Dynasties. But people who understand actually only need one sentence to make this contrasting relationship clear. There was Beiyang in the Northern Qing Dynasty, and Liu Kunyi in the Southern Qing Dynasty. Liu Kunyi now not only represents Nanyang, he also represents friendly cooperative relations with foreign forces. For example, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is about to turn defeat into victory on the European battlefield, for example, the Alchemy Kingdom began to hide its capabilities and bide its time at the end of last year. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has guns and the Alchemy Kingdom has money. With these two points alone, even if Beiyang expands its army ten times, it will not be its opponent! (To be continued)
