Chapter 875: Building a Road (III)

The sentry at the door was very strict. When the carriage was stopped, a car in front was stopped and searched carefully. Chen Pu waited calmly, but the driver who was driving the carriage got angry and shouted loudly: "Damn it, let go of the carriage in front immediately."

The scolding made the guards at the door very unhappy. The rifle pointed at the coachman Shi, and said in a bad tone: "Where are you from the rustic guys? You dare to shout at the gate of the Governor's Mansion and get off for me." Shi got off from the carriage, faced the two Guns with a sarcastic smile on their faces, and took out a document from their pocket and handed it over: "There is a noble man in the carriage, please let it go immediately."

From the outside, this is a very ordinary document, but after opening it, I saw three red sss above, and the guard immediately closed the document and returned it like a piece of burnt iron. He immediately responded and asked the soldiers to move the roadblocks quickly. Chen Pu was low-key, and this style was not his style, but he considered that there was something urgent, so he didn't stop it.

"Next to the door! Whose young master is this? What kind of style?" On the carriage forced to give way, a fat businessman got out of the car and handed a cigarette to the guard. He asked with a smile. The guard who took the cigarette rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't want to die, don't ask too much. North America's population is short, and the one just now was a murder license."

The merchant immediately shut up, turned to the carriage, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. There has always been a legend in this place in North America that a group of people exist like ghosts. According to the law, killing people with Ming dynasties is illegal, but with a murder license, the act is legal. No one can explain this kind of thing clearly. If the family members of the deceased do not make trouble, there may be nothing to do. Once they make trouble, it is said that some families have indeed evaporated.

Chen Pu thought of another question. Is there really no similar people around him? In Yanhu Town, in the road protection team, or somewhere else, are there people always watching their every move? The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is possible.

When the carriage passed through the gate, Chen Pu shook his head. He frowned and smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, he became the kind of person he had despised in the past. He used his family to show off his power. He was one of the members of the Ming Dynasty, who was invincible in the world and fortune. Perhaps this is the case? Chen Pu did not regret it. He dared not carry it at all on this urgent issue. Among the three generations of the Chen family, the only candidate with outstanding railway capabilities dared not be careless. If he could not prove his ability in North America, it is certain that the old man would definitely throw the shares in his hands into the market and deal with it, rather than handing it over to some mediocre descendants to defeat such a big career.

After the office door was pushed open, Dai Zhiyuan put his legs up and his face showed a rare smile. The female secretary standing by the door was a European girl, wearing the current fashionable women's clothing of the Ming Dynasty and had a good figure, but Chen Pu did not take a look even at it. When he was working, the secretary brought the door and knocked on the door was worth Dai Zhiyuan's smile.

"So it's Director Chen?" The two of them had a fight. Dai Zhiyuan stood up and stretched out his hand, and his pupils suddenly contracted when he shook hands. The flying eagle logo on the cuffs was not something that blind people could see. Only one family could embroider such a pattern on the clothes and had gold edges inlaid with heirs in a certain field, or candidate heirs. When it comes to Chen Pu's position, the answer is clear.

"Two cups of coffee." Dai Zhiyuan explained, the secretary stepped down, and Chen Pu sat down calmly and behaved solemnly. He saw that he was a young talent who had received a good education. After taking the coffee, Chen Pu did not forget to thank him. After the female secretary left, he said: "I believe you have received a telegram from Wushilipu."

Dai Zhiyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and flipped over the table. He didn't see the telegram, and he showed a hint of anger. Not to mention Chen Pu's identity, his current position alone is not the one who can be neglected at will. "Wait!" Dai Zhiyuan picked up the phone, shook the message and asked, "Have you sent a telegram in the room for a few days?" The female secretary on the phone said, "No, at least I haven't received it here."

Dai Zhiyuan hung up the phone and stood up and said, "Let's go to the confidential room to ask." The Governor's Office is very large, with its own confidential office, and it has multiple departments such as the Telecommunications Department and the Intelligence Department. Its responsibilities are specifically for the Governor to control intelligence services within its jurisdiction. One of the functions is to send and receive important telegrams.

The two went out to walk to the left and saw a young officer jogging in the corridor, holding a large envelope. Dai Zhiyuan looked back quietly and looked at the female secretary following behind him, standing there without moving. When the officer stepped forward to report, he snatched the envelope without waiting for him to speak and said coldly: "You, go to the Mounted Police to report tomorrow, and your position is an ordinary police officer."

The young officer looked pale and hurriedly said, "Uncle, what's wrong? I'm just..." Dai Zhiyuan didn't give him a chance to defend himself and interrupted, "Shut up, go back to pack your luggage!" The young officer looked at Chen Pu with resentment, and found that the young man who was about the same age as him was calm on his face as if nothing had happened, and his eyes became even more vicious.

Zhang Lihui, the nephew of Governor of Kingsoft, made him feel like a fish in water here. The young man is not bad. There are many beauties in the Governor's Mansion. This guy is a gangster. He was too tired to play with a female employee last night, which delayed his work today. He just received a call from the female secretary and immediately found a telegram to send it. Unexpectedly, it was still too late.

"Where did the bastard come from? I made me unlucky. I turned around and wanted him to look good." As I spoke, I almost ran into the person in front of me. When I stopped and opened my mouth to scold me, I saw a pair of unmanned eyes. Looking at him was like looking at a dead person. "You'd better give up what you thought just now, otherwise you will be unlucky, your uncle will be unlucky, and your whole family will be unlucky."

A guy who was not tall actually looked at people with this kind of eyes, and then stared at him, like a poisonous snake. Zhang Lihui's spine was frozen, and he moved tremblingly. He walked more than ten meters before he had the courage to turn around, but the man was gone.

"This is impossible, I can't do it. This is 1,500 kilometers. Even if it involves a railway with a total cost of 8 million yuan, it cannot do this with the current force." Dai Zhiyuan's attitude was very firm and he directly refused the request. Chen Pu's attitude was also firm, and he immediately stood up and said, "On behalf of the Liaodong Railway Group of the Ming Dynasty, the North American Railway Company appeared here. If the request I made does not receive an official positive answer, I will take some necessary measures to solve this problem."

It seems that this is a railway with an investment of 8 million yuan. It doesn't matter from the figures. You must know that this is the era of a mixed standard of gold and silver. Eight million yuan is equivalent to eight million taels of silver. If such a huge sum of money is wasted, the capitalists will definitely let the Governor of Kingsoft Dai Zhiyuan step down. I don't know how to get the subsequent revenge.

"Okay. Let's sit down and talk calmly." Dai Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief first. When the female secretary heard the movement, she pushed open the door and asked with a smile: "Sir, what are your instructions?" Dai Zhiyuan waved his hand angrily: "It's okay. Just don't let anyone come in." The female secretary glanced at Chen Pu quickly, closed the door and exited.

Dai Zhiyuan quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong. Her name is Ruth. Her father is a navy veteran. He grew up in the Ming Dynasty and is proficient in the three foreign languages ​​of Western, Portuguese and French." There was no need to explain at first, but Chen Pu's identity was too special. Dai Zhiyuan didn't want to make trouble for nothing.

"Governor General, I still hope you can consider it solemnly. My suggestion." Chen Pu refused to let go. Dai Zhiyuan sighed. He walked to the map and said, "You can see it yourself. This is Kingsoft, this is Los Angeles, and this is Salt Lake Town. Such a large area of ​​land, many places can't see people even if you go through dozens of miles. Isn't it a tough thing for me to do this with the strength of an infantry division?"

Chen Pu's face remained calm and said in a plain tone: "If one division is not enough, there will be two divisions; if two divisions are not enough, there will be three divisions. The Governor's Office is not short of money. The huge North American administrative region has only such a small amount of troops. How do you think I understand?"

Dai Zhiyuan was anxious when asked and said angrily: "How do you understand? Let me tell you how to understand. Three years ago, I wrote a report and asked to form three American divisions. The combination of Japanese, natives, and Ming officers. What's the result? My report fell into the sea. I sent another report the same content the same, and the result was that one division was added."

Chen Pu stood up, walked to the door and pushed open the door, ignoring the secretary's surprised eyes. He shouted outside: "Stone!"

In just three seconds, Shi appeared at the door and whispered: "What are your instructions?" Chen Pu said: "I have a report. How long will it take to send it back to China as quickly as possible?"

"It will take thirty days to get to Nagasaki, and then pass it by telegram. It is not counted as the reply from the capital, but it will go back and forth for 60 days." Shi Shi's answer was very straightforward. A message was revealed here, a submarine cable line had passed through Tsushima Strait and could directly reach Incheon. This is news that Dai Zhiyuan didn't know, and it should be a secret line.

"Okay." Chen Pu turned around and closed the door, saying to Dai Zhiyuan who was stunned: "I have a road guard team of more than 3,500 people. They are qualified officers. I can provide at least one thousand people to you. There are arms in the seven warehouses of the railway company on the dock, which is enough to arm a light infantry division. You can report now, and you will get a reply in three months at the latest. My suggestion is to issue a conscription order immediately, and you should have this right in your hand. Don't worry about Congress, the railway group will solve all the problems you encounter. If you are lucky, you can get a title after the railway is repaired."

Dai Zhiyuan couldn't speak anymore, and stood there for a while before smiling bitterly: "My young master, you are so naive. This is not in China, and North America is too big, so what about the three divisions? I'm now ordering the formation of a new infantry division. The difficulty is that even with so many troops, it's still far from enough to control the long railway construction line. The best choice now is to repair one section after another. With the train, the speed and supply problems of the troops' movement will be solved. One division's strength can also ensure the smooth construction. The remaining two divisions, one must ensure the safety of Los Angeles to Kingsoft, and the other can be spread out to deal with the gamble action war on the vast North American continent."

While surprised by the resources in the hands of the railway company, Dai Zhiyuan came up with a feasible plan. Of course, it is just an idea now. The specific implementation also requires the calculation and planning of the garrison staff. Why do we need to calculate and plan? The reason is actually very simple. Fighting is not simply about fighting. When implementing this plan, we must consider the future development of the direction of Yanhu Town. Once fighting starts, the transportation of many materials will definitely be affected. At the same time, we must also choose a suitable supply point for a division that attacks, etc. There are really many things, not just fighting.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Pu nodded and said, "Okay, I will be able to answer you tonight at the latest. The conditions that had been agreed upon before will not change." Chen Pu stretched out his hand, and Dai Zhiyuan held it without hesitation and said, "I'll ask Mr. Chen to take care of him in the future." This was a bit terrible, but Dai Zhiyuan said it naturally. Not to mention anything else, Dai Zhiyuan was willing to kneel down and lick the supplies from the seven warehouses.

The military capacity from Nagasaki to North America is limited every year, and it is impossible to invest all of them in this regard. But there is no problem among the people. The key is that the materials in this warehouse are all equipment. If you take out the rifles and ammunition, what are the rest? It must be clothing, shoes and other supporting equipment. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use seven warehouses, right?

There is another problem. If you get the support of the railway company, it means you get the support of the railway group. With the ability of the capitalists, there is almost nothing that cannot be done in private transportation. The Governor's Office is not short of money, but it lacks various scarce materials, such as some steel. If you have money, you can't buy enough. Don't mention the political benefits, a title. There is also the future succession. If the cabinet is interesting and the parliament does not make trouble, it will not be a problem for him to work for another ten years. When he retires, he earns enough money that he can't spend in ten lifetimes.

Chen Pu, who walked to the door, suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, how many small docks are there in Kinmen?"

Dai Zhiyuan seemed to be electrocuted and suddenly said in a daze: "The small boat dock is easy to deal with. There are not many people among the people, only three or four of them are used. But there is a large area where the Navy can repair the boat dock. All kinds of supplies are also complete."

Chen Pu nodded: "It's nothing, I have a batch of small steam engines in my hand. I originally planned to build some small boats worth three to four hundred tons to transport supplies along the river. Isn't this the supplies that were transported last month? I haven't come back in Yanhu Town. By the way, Yanhu Town has submitted a report on upgrading to a county. Will the Governor's Office deal with it as soon as possible?"

Dai Zhiyuan nodded and said yes. He immediately asked the secretary: "Rus, where is the report from Yanhu Town?" Ruth stood up, walked to the cabinet, opened a door, took out a stack of reports from it and said: "It's all here, every one a month."

Just when Dai Zhiyuan was amused and crying, Chen Pu suddenly appeared at the door and said, "By the way, I would like to remind you that Gu Shuang's grandfather is the lifelong speaker of the Congress." Dai Zhiyuan was stunned. Daming had only one lifelong speaker. (To be continued.)
