Chapter 5 I want to buy your life
"Well, cut the one here a little shorter, right." Qin Ge directed Qing'er in the mirror.
Because there was a large piece of hair on the upper part of the braided hair that was shaved very short. In order to neat hair, Qin Ge cut all his hair as short as the hair on his forehead and broke the hair off. Qin Ge touched his bald head and smiled foolishly.
"Puchi!" Qing'er couldn't help laughing when she saw Qin Ge's stupid look.
"What's so funny? Am I not handsome now than before?" Qin Geyou stroked his head.
"Ah! No, I just think you look very strange now." Qing'er quickly explained.
Qin Ge suddenly held Qing'er's little hand, pulled Qing'er into his arms, and said softly: "Qing'er, from today on, you will treat yourself as a queen, do you understand?"
Qing'er said: "Tianwu, can we defeat the Qing Dynasty now? We only have a hundred people now."
"Of course not possible now, but we have money. As long as we get a piece of territory, we can recruit soldiers and horses. The most important thing is to have a navy. You don't know that the two large iron-clad ships customized by Li Hongzhang in Germany have already returned to China. These two warships can rank third in the world in terms of strength. So if we want to reach the Qing Dynasty, we must first have a navy leading the world, and we must be ahead of the world. Otherwise, if we defeat the Qing Dynasty, foreigners will interfere. Therefore, my navy must be so strong that Western powers dare not fight me," Qin Ge said.
Li Qing'er originally thought that Qin Ge was just a talk, but now it seems that Qin Ge really wanted to launch troops overseas and then attack the Qing Dynasty.
Qin Ge continued: "Although Li Hongzhang had the largest fleet in the Pacific, he could not save the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court's government was too powerful. Even if I didn't raise troops to destroy him, there would be people who would rebel later. The demise of the Qing court was just a matter of time."
"Yeah." Li Qing'er responded. She didn't think she could help Qin Ge. She was just a woman, a woman who only belonged to Qin Ge. No matter what Qin Ge did, all she could do was to manage Qin Ge's family affairs so that Qin Ge could concentrate on doing what he wanted to do.
The next day, Qin Ge raised the British flag, which was originally found on the ship, because the ship originally belonged to a British man. After raising the flag, Qin Ge ordered to move towards the port. He knew that the flag of the British Empire was very useful. In any place where civilization exists in the world, the British Empire rice flag can basically be hung freely, especially in the Far East.
Sure enough, the entry into the port was very smooth. The only small warships in the port did not even have fire. Qin Ge drove the ship into a dock for repair and added coal.
During a conversation with the dock owner Anderson, Qin Ge learned that this place was Naha. At that time, Qin Ge thought: No wonder the port does not even have shore defense guns. It turned out that it was Ryukyu that was occupied by little Japan for not long.
Anderson is a German, 36 years old and a ship engineer. However, in Germany before the second time, this profession was not very popular. The German ship manufacturing industry had just started. Anderson specialized in warship engineering supervision. He could also design some cruisers. He first worked in the Volcan Shipyard, but it was all merchant ship engineering, which disappointed him. Anderson first arrived in China and tried to build a dock to build warships for the Qing court. However, after understanding Chinese officials, he believed that he could not get orders in China, and then
When we arrived in Japan, three 3,000-ton docks were built in Ryukyu. Although Japan wanted to expand its navy, Japan was so poor that it was so poor that when Japan was knocked on the trade door by the great powers, the exchange ratio of gold and silver was 1:5, which means that 5 taels of silver could be exchanged for 1 tael of gold. Therefore, the great powers exchanged a large amount of silver for gold, which made Japan, which was not originally poor, very poor. So now the Japanese Navy still has many old wooden warships in use, so the current main business of Anderson's dock is to maintain the past Western merchant ships and add coal.
Because Qin Ge was different from ordinary Chinese, Anderson was very excited to talk to Qin Ge. Anderson found that not only Qin Ge was fluent in German, but the guards who followed Qin Ge were also German. This made Anderson very curious: "Oh, have your soldiers been to Germany for further study?" Because the guards called Qin Ge the commander, Anderson knew their identity very well.
"No, I think you should guess that in China, my identity is a leader of the ** armed forces, so we hired a retired German official as their instructor, so they can speak some German, but they can speak and can't write them. They don't even know a few Chinese characters." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Oh, is that, but I see they are very different from the Chinese people I have met."
"Yes! Because they are my soldiers, even if I ask them to die, I think they will not hesitate."
Qin Erdan next to him heard Qin Ge's words and immediately said to Anderson: "Yes, even if the commander asks us to die, we will not hesitate, because our lives are given by the commander."
"Oh, at this point, you are even better than soldiers from many European countries." Anderson said to Erdan.
"Of course, I heard from the instructor that Germany is the most powerful country in Europe, and the soldiers taught by the instructors of the most powerful country will definitely not be weak." Erdan did not know how to be modest at all. Qin Ge smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Anderson also made the same move as Qin Ge, obviously disagreed with what Erdan said.
"What, Mr. Anderson, you don't believe it. Instructor Carl once said that soldiers cannot lie. I believe in the words of Instructor Carl."
"The world's most powerful country is Britain. Britain is known as the empire of sun never set. Do you know what the sun never sets?" Anderson asked Erdan with a smile. Erdan obviously didn't know. Anderson continued: "The place we are standing now is called the earth. The earth is revolving around the sun. That's it. This is the sun, this is the earth. This is the earth. This is the rotation like this." Anderson said while demonstrating the revolution and rotation with both hands. "So we see the sun rise from the east and set from the west every day, and Britain is known as the sun never set. In other words, the British territory can see the sun at any time. Do you understand?" Erdan nodded, and Anderson continued: "But your instructor Carl did not lie to you. Germany is the most powerful country on land, but Britain is the most powerful country on the sea. Only by controlling the ocean can it be considered a world power."
Qin Ge also continued: "Yes, whoever controls the ocean will control the world."
"Oh, this sentence is so classic, I want to record it." As he said that, he took out a small notebook and wrote down what Qin Ge said.
"It can be seen that Mr. Anderson is a man who loves warships."
"Of course, only by owning warships can you own the ocean. I not only love warships, but also love the ocean." Anderson said of warships and oceans, with a look of yearning.
"Mr. Anderson, I have a big business to do. I wonder if Mr. Anderson is interested?" Qin Ge suddenly thought that he would build a dock in Hawaii in the future. Now an engineer just happened to hit him, so Qin Ge immediately sent an invitation to Anderson.
"Oh? What big business? Do you want to build a ship? I'm honored to tell you that my dock can build an all-steel cruiser in one year, which is all-steel!" Anderson emphasized the term "iron-clad ship".
"No, the business I want to do with you is much bigger than this, I want to buy your..."
"Purchase my dock? Oh, I only have 30% of the dock." Anderson thought Qin Ge was interested in his dock.
"I'm not interested in this kind of small boat dock. What I want to buy is your life!"
