In the past decade of journalism, Helen has already tempered her into a woman who is open and willing to do so. However, when she meets true love, she will feel embarrassed and look at her. Dong Biao's words completely dispelled her concerns. Since Tom was moved, what else should she have to worry about? Just charge forward, at least he will reject her several times.

After making up his mind, Helen completely relaxed and made an appointment with Dong Biao: "If you are not afraid of him getting angry, then I should not be afraid of him getting angry. Jack, I have figured it out and follow the method you said. Look, when is it more appropriate for me to interview him? Can you go tonight?"

Dong Biao immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister-in-law is the eldest sister-in-law, you have courage! Then let's make a decision. At seven o'clock tonight, I will go to the gate of the hall to pick you up on time."

Helen immediately thought about it and said, "No, the snow is so heavy. After the interview, I can't find the car back. I'd better wait until tomorrow during the day."

Dong Biao, who could be with anyone other than Cao Bin and the chief of the main hall, exploded his injustice at this time: "Do you go back? Take it directly and sleep with him?" But seeing Helen's face change, Dong Biao hurriedly changed his words: "I mean your room is still reserved for you!"

William personally led seven or eight sailors to drive the boats and sent Luo Lie and five others to Vincent Island.

"You have three days to rescue Mr. Parliament's daughter. Three days later, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I will drive a boat and wait for this pier." The outline of Vincent Island was already revealed, and the ship could dock at most half an hour. William gave the final explanation to Luo Lie and Zhao Daming: "Don't count on the British on the island. On the issue of Vincent Island, the British no longer believe in America. If your true identity is exposed, no matter what explanation you give, those British people will kill you and will rise to diplomatic conflicts. This is a very embarrassing result for both the members and the generals."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Will you cheat Mr. Parliamentary's daughter be a British guy?"

William apologized: "It was my inaccurate expression. I mean the British rulers on the island, not the speculators who robbed the daughter of the MP."

The most attractive thing in this world is money, and what is more attractive than money is probably only power. Vincent Island belongs to the territory of the British Empire. As a British, he naturally belongs to the privileged class on Vincent Island.

However, only enjoying special rights cannot satisfy those adventure merchants with speculative mentality. They plan to separate Vincent Island and get rid of the British Empire. If they can achieve their goals, then they will become heroes in the hearts of the local people and can naturally become the first managers of the independent Vincent country, thus having supreme power.

The group of people initially contacted certain forces in the United States of America and reached an agreement. However, when the Senate faced this issue, it was opposed by Senate leader Adam Breson. Adam Breson was originally the candidate for the Speaker elected by the Donkey Party, but unfortunately, the Donkey Party was defeated by the Elephant Party in the parliamentary election, and Adam Breson failed to sit on the throne of the Speaker of the Senate as he wished.

After the group of speculators suffered setbacks in their plans, they thought about how to turn the tables back. It was obviously inappropriate to play hard with Adam Breson, so they could only play tricks with Adam Breson.

Adam Breson and General Harris are the same age as General Harris, both of whom are over 60 years old, but Adam Bres staged a story of a second spring blooming when he was forty-five. Six years after his first wife died of illness, he married his second wife and gave birth to a lovely daughter.

Adam Breth, who was middle-aged, naturally regarded her little daughter as the pearl in her hand, but the daughter who had grown up to be a graceful flower girl became the breakthrough for the group of speculators to deal with Adam Brethson. They sent a handsome boy to deceive Adam Breth's little daughter's joy and tricked her to Vincent Island. Then, the group of speculators threatened Adam Brethson. If Adam Brethson did not change his political views, then he would never see his daughter again in his life.

Adam Bresson was unwilling to be just a member of parliament, three years before the next Senate election, and the donkey party had a more suitable candidate to take on the position of president. Therefore, Adam Breser set his goal in the state of birth, California's governor's election.

Seeing that the election is about to begin, Adam Breser cannot easily change his political views. The fact that his daughter was deceived by others cannot be exposed, otherwise he will be seized by his opponents and make a big fuss. At that time, he will only be criticized by inexplicable criticism and misunderstood by voters.

Therefore, Adam Breson could only turn to Ou Zhiming.

Ou Zhiming and Adam Breson have been friends for many years and are the private legal counsel hired by Adam Breson. Therefore, Ou Zhiming cannot say anything about Adam Breson's request for Adam Breson, either morally or emotionally.

General Harris was quite moved to learn that Ou Zhiming agreed to help. As Adam Breson's comrade-in-arms, brothers and in-laws, when Adam Breson encountered such a dilemma, he should be the first person to stand up. However, he could not stand up.

Harris has military resources. When it comes to combat effectiveness, he will send a few Marine men, which will be much better than those of Ou Zhiming's men. However, if these Marine men fail to operate on Vincent Island or are caught by the British, the missed will be a big deal, which will inevitably rise to a conflict between the two countries, and the future of Harris and Adam Breson will also come to an abrupt end.

William was on the rank of colonel, and was the chief officer of the base intelligence department and also a direct confidant of General Harris. When General Harris was inconvenient to come forward, William was always responsible for handling it himself. Therefore, in the military base, General Harris only had a brief exchange with Luo Liezhao Daming, and the rest of the time and matters were accompanied by William and handled by himself.

"If we complete the task ahead of time, what can we do to contact you?" Zhao Daming raised an extremely realistic question.

If Adam Breson's daughter was not brought out at the agreed time, then he could only admit that the mission failed, and there was nothing to say, and he would just evacuate and find a way again. But the time cannot be ruled out, and they seized it in time. Adam Breson's daughter was taken back from the hands of the speculators several hours or even a day earlier than the agreed time. If there was no ship to respond in time, it would be a pity that the bad result would eventually lead to the person being taken back by the other party.

William sighed softly and said, "Then you can only swim back to San Diego!"

Zhao Daming shrugged and smiled bitterly twice.

Vincent Island is the island of the British. The ship can only not enter the port and dock. When can it be entered and docked, and how long it can stay in the port is all the matter of the British. Military transport ships at the San Diego Military Base in the United States of America need to dock at the port terminal of Vincent Island. The British will not refuse, but they cannot come and leave at any time. They must apply in advance and can only be implemented after obtaining approval. Before departure, William had already determined the docking plan with the British on Vincent Island, so naturally they cannot change it just by saying it.

"No big problem!" Luo Lie smiled sly, "William, just follow the original plan. We will definitely board your ship on time and safely."

William nodded and responded: "I am full of confidence in you!"

Luo Lie smiled again and said, "William, can I make an extra request?"

William replied: "You just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "When we rescue Mr. Congressman's daughter, can you take us onto the warship for a tour?"

William responded without hesitation: "Of course, I can not only take you on the ship, but I can also take you on the sea."

Luo Liele said: "Then can I choose my favorite warship?"

William replied: "Besides the general's flagship, other ships, I will choose you."

The ship finally arrived at the port and after the mooring was steady, Luo Lie took the lead in getting ashore.

The area of ​​Vincent Island is not large. Judging from the maritime map, it is only sixty miles long from north to south and only forty miles wide from east to west. There are not many residents on the island, with a total of no more than 30,000 people. About half of them are indigenous Caribbean peoples, and the other half are slave groups immigrating from African territories of the British Empire. As for the British people on the island, there are less than one thousand people, and more than 90% are soldiers of the British Empire.

The British Empire has a close relationship with the United States of America. In many international affairs, the two of them can always maintain a joint attitude of advancing and retreating together. However, even if they are close to the relationship between father and son or husband and wife, there is no possibility of a conflict between the two subjects. The problem on Vincent Island is a point of contradiction between the two countries.

The United States of America regards the Caribbean as its back garden. After the declining Spanish Empire ten years ago, the confidence of the United States of America suddenly burst out. Some members of Congress believe that the United States of America should take advantage of the victory and take control of the entire Caribbean region in one fell swoop, thus becoming the real overlord of the entire North American continent.

This idea obviously touched the fundamental interests of the British Empire. At this time, the economic scale of the United States of America had already caught up with the global hegemony of the British Empire, but its military strength was far less powerful than that of the British Empire. Therefore, in the face of diplomatic pressure from the British Empire, the United States of America immediately admitted its cowardice, and could only maintain the trend after the Spanish-American War and share the interests of the Caribbean region with the British Empire.

Last fall, an independence movement suddenly broke out on Vincent Island. The United States of America, which had been cowardly for seven or eight years, immediately smelled the opportunity. Some members of Congress were eager to try it, hoping to take this opportunity to test the attitude of the British Empire. Some radicals have even contacted the forces on Vincent Island and secretly funded their lot of money and weapons.

At that time, the British Empire was overwhelmed by the rise of the German Empire on the European continent. The declining British Empire had no time to take care of the small island of Vincent thousands of miles away. Moreover, the British Empire needed the support of the United States of America in many major events. Therefore, on the issue of Vincent, the British Empire adopted a silence.

This gave the illusion that the short-sighted MPs of the United States of America the illusion that the opportunity was right in front of them.

But more MPs kept their heads calmly and they looked deeper and farther.

The United States of America should not only pursue becoming a regional hegemon. Its vision should be more profound and its ambitions should be greater. It should follow the development trajectory of the Spanish Empire and the British Empire in front of it to realize the great ideal of global hegemony.

A Vincent Island may be able to leverage the British Empire's dominance in the Caribbean, but for global interests, the Caribbean Sea is important, but its proportion is too small. These members of Congress who are determined to be around the world clearly realize that the United States of America should be closely linked with the British Empire at this moment, so that they can gain greater benefits in global affairs. Adam Breson is a representative figure of these visionary members of Congress.

Vision will naturally defeat short-shortness. In just a few months, the guys who were noisy to support the Vincent Independence Movement calmed down. The speculators on Vincent Island lost the support of external forces and could only suppress the situation openly and continue to accumulate strength behind their backs.

For the rulers on Vincent Island, this process was very unhappy. The actions of the Americans made them angry, and the silent attitude of their own country made them feel the despair of being abandoned. Therefore, after the situation seemed to have subsided, the rulers on the island had a deep skepticism towards people on either side.

However, for the businessmen who had a lot of dollars in the business of Rolebbut, they still showed their due enthusiasm.

There is almost no industry on Vincent Island. Most of the land is planted with sugar cane, and the other half is planted with bananas. The only factory on the island is a sugar sugar processing plant. Whether it is the sugar cane garden, the banana garden, or the sugar processing plant, they are all in the hands of the British. This structure was originally very beautiful. British farmers enjoy privileges under the rule of the British. They can collude with extreme exploitation of the Caribbean natives on the island and migrated African slaves, thereby gaining the greatest benefit.

But the rulers never expected that those British farmers who made a fortune under their protection would inspire local aborigines to start an independence movement with the African slaves. And these speculators are quite thiefs, and they hide too deeply behind the scenes, which makes these rulers feel so that they can't catch any evidence. After the situation calmed down on the surface, the farmers even claimed that the peripheral market had undergone a huge change, and the prices of sugar sugar and bananas had experienced a cliff-like fall. If they were to takeout goods at the current price, they would probably not even have enough shipping. Since the more they sold, the more they lost, it would be better to let sugarcane and bananas rot in the fields.

The rulers knew that this was a lie, but they just couldn't deal with it, because in the past they had only been greedy for pleasure and had never been exposed to commercial channels of sugar and bananas. If the farmers did not sell goods, they would not be able to make extra money. What is even more worrying is that if the indigenous people and African slaves were hungry, they would definitely have riots again.

In the application for ship docking to Vincent Island, William had stated that five merchants from the United States of America were traveling with him. Their purpose of landing on the island was to inspect the island's sugar and banana industries. If feasible, these merchants would sign a long-term procurement contract with Vincent Island.

The rulers on the island are skeptical about this.

They certainly don't want to trust Americans, especially American soldiers. But they don't want to lose this opportunity, because if they can open up the sales of sugar and bananas on the island, then the farmers who secretly fought will no longer have any tricks and can only surrender obediently.

Therefore, when they showed Luo Lie and the five others the enthusiasm they deserved, they also maintained a high level of vigilance.

The supreme ruler on Vincent Island was the highest commander of the army with less than a thousand people. Although it was only a military unit at the level of the regiment, and although the organization of this regiment was still one battalion, this did not affect his appointment as the governor of Vincent Island.

The governor was named Joseph Henry. His family had some royal blood and his ancestors were also hereditary dukes. However, Joseph Henry was not the orthodox bloodline of the Henry family. Therefore, he became more than 40 years old and had the rank of colonel and the title of governor of an unknown island.

Joseph Henry personally met Luo Lie and his party in his Governor's house. As soon as he met, the guy's face suddenly flashed with suspicion. One of the inevitable reasons was skin color. How could the noble Governor of the British Empire with royal blood personally meet with a group of inferior Chinese with dark hair, dark hair, yellow eyes? Another reason for suspicion was age. Looking at the boy in the leader, he was at most twenty years old and had not had a dry breasts. How could he take on the great responsibility?

Joseph Henry's flash of suspicion could not escape Luo Lie's eyes. He snorted coldly in his heart, then made a gesture of reaching out for a cigar, and shouted: "Robut..."

Robut hurried forward, handed over a cigar for Luo Lie, took out a lighter with gold inlaid, and lit a cigar for Luo Lie.

After squirting out a puff of cigarette, Luo Lie smiled and said, "Governor, do you want to come with one? Robut is the largest cigar dealer in New York. His cigars are the top Cuban cigars!"

The figures who can take the military transport ships at the San Diego Military Base in the United States are certainly not simple. Although Joseph Henry looked down on the yellow-skinned Chinese in his heart, Joseph Henry must pinch his nose and treat each other enthusiastically with his nose. Luo Lie's smile, which is neither humble nor arrogant and slightly joking, made Joseph Henry look at the young man in front of him again.

Joseph Henry is a person who recognizes that each cigar Robt took out is worth at least one dollar. Some people can use this cigar as a facade to pretend, and show that cigars of one dollar per dollar are ordinary to him. However, there must be traces of disguise, and Joseph Henry, as a noble, can naturally see whether the man is disguised. Robt is the real largest cigar in New York. The value of this top cigar on the market is indeed more than one dollar, but for him, the purchase price is only twenty-five cents. In addition, he has the idea of ​​seeking Luo Lie, so he has no feeling of being reluctant or precious when he takes out the cigar. At the same time, Zhao Daming, who plays Luo Lie's follower, is in charge of millions of dollars in assets of Anliangtang in New York, and the temperament revealed by him is also extraordinary.

In this way, both of them showed a respectful expression to Luo Lie, which further highlighted Luo Lie's extraordinary aura.

"It's better to obey your duty than respect!" Joseph Henry was also experienced, and he changed his attitude towards Luo Lie without hesitation. He took the cigar handed over by Robut, and then lit the cigar with the fire handed over by Robut. While lighting the cigarette, Joseph Henry had already taken a sip. He then closed his eyes and let the cigarette turn into his mouth twice. After slowly exhaling it, he took a deep breath at the blue smoke floating in the air, and praised: "It's indeed a top-notch cigar!"

Luo Lie laughed and said, "You can see that you are an expert in cigar smoking. Since you like it, leave a few more."

Robut understood it carefully and immediately took out five large boxes of exquisitely packaged cigars from his backpack and placed them in front of Joseph Henry.

There are ten small boxes in a large box, and each small box has only one cigar, and the five large boxes are fifty, and the market value is definitely more than fifty dollars.

As the governor, Joseph Henry's salary was only fifty pounds a month, which was more than ninety or one hundred dollars. When Luo Lie took action, he gave a gift worth fifty dollars. The degree of luxury forced Joseph Henry to look at him with admiration.

"Thank you for Boss Luo's gift!" When he spoke again, Joseph Henry had a lot of respect in his tone: "I learned that your purpose in coming to Vincent Island was to purchase sugar and bananas. I would like to ask, what level of purchase will be your planned purchase?"

When talking about the important matter, Luo Lie's bull-fork power was about to fly into the sky. He snorted and asked back: "Mr. Henry, how much is the annual output of your island?"

Joseph Henry actually stammered, and it was obvious that he did not have any data on this.

Luo Liexiao said, "Before coming here, I asked, there are about 5,000 acres of arable land in Vincent Island, about 60% of which are sugarcane gardens, and the remaining 40% are planted with bananas. One acre can produce 100,000 pounds of sugarcane or 60,000 pounds of bananas. In this way, Guida can produce 300 million pounds of sugarcane and 100 million pounds of bananas a year. I think you have mastered the most advanced technology of boiling sugar. Twenty pounds of sugarcane can make one pound of sugar, which means that Guida can provide us with 15 million pounds of sugarcane and 100 million pounds of fresh bananas a year. This yield can meet at most about 30% of the needs for us. Of course, we finally decide how much we purchase depends on how competitive your price is."

Not only did Joseph Henry be stunned, but Robut's expression was also very surprised. Although Zhao Daming, Qin Gang and Gu Ting looked as if nothing happened on the surface, they were extremely shocked in their hearts.

Is the data that Master Luo picks up casually true or false? If it is whispered out casually, wouldn’t it be a bad thing?

Joseph Henry settled Luo Lie and his party in the guest room of the Governor's Mansion to rest. He found an excuse to leave for the time being. Don't think too much. He must have found relevant subordinates to verify the data that Luo Lie said.

Zhao Daming asked nervously: "Luo Lie, how can you know so many things?"

Luo Lie replied very seriously: "I am your boss. Is there anyone who calls the boss like this?"

Zhao Daming was stunned for a moment, and changed his mouth with a wry smile: "Boss, did you compile the data you just said casually?"

Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and said sternly: "Mr. Zhao, you have the right to question your boss, but you must respect your boss, otherwise, I will consider firing you."

Zhao Daming laughed, as if he was exposed, but was stopped by Qin Gang: "Brother Daming, the boss is right. We followers must respect the boss."

Zhao Daming suddenly woke up, stood up and apologized seriously: "I was wrong, young master!"

Although they communicate in Chinese, these British guys who have never been to China and rarely seen Chinese must not understand them, so naturally they don’t have to worry about the gap between them. However, if you go deep into the tiger’s den, you will lose everything if you are not careful. If you cannot fully enter the role you play, you will probably be exposed sooner or later.

Seeing Zhao Daming realizing the problem, Luo Lie's expression also eased, saying: "The overview of Vincent Island provided by our boss has been very clear, including the population, population composition, land area, etc. on the island."

This is true. The head of the chief hall did give a detailed description of the basic situation of Vincent Island in the information handed over to Zhao Daming, but Zhao Daming was not concerned about these data. "What about the yield per mu? I remember that the boss did not mention the yield per mu of sugarcane and banana in the information!"

Luo Lie curled his lips and said, "I don't know if I can't inquire? We came to Santiago from Havana. It took us more than two days, ate six meals in the middle, and bought a few clothes for Xiao Tinger. We met so many locals. Is it difficult to find out the yield of sugarcane and bananas per mu? Cuba is not far from Vincent, and the climatic conditions are similar. Vincent may be more suitable for growing sugarcane and bananas, so I will estimate the yield per mu more."

Zhao Daming couldn't help but sigh: "You are really mean. It seems that bringing you Vincent should be my most wise decision."
To be continued...
