Chapter 371 Would you like to open a super battleship to pick you up?
"Hello, Mr. Davis.
.. ”
"Hello General Robert Lee."
"Hello General George Washington Lee."
"This is Mr. John C. Kahon? Hello, hello."
"Oh, Mr. McLaury, we are old friends."
After Li Mengyang got off the boat and landed, he naturally met these senior officials in the south. Everyone had to say hello and shake hands.
So...
Bang bang bang bang bang bang... There was a burst of explosions, and this was the sound of magnesium being ignited.
After His Majesty the Emperor came down, many reporters ran down the iron-clad ship of the Empire. If these people get it, they will take photos. If His Majesty the Emperor shakes hands with, they will take photos. If anyone looks at him, they will also take photos. This is all news!
Overall, the empire already has the spirit of visiting the heads of state in later generations. It looks very similar anyway, but...
"..." Everyone in the Confederate side was a little stupid!
They have never seen it before!
The magnesium powder was tinted, it was so flashing, it made people feel uncomfortable.
In fact, just by saying that when Emperor Clint and Li came down, it would have been shocked on the spot. This is so grand that he is so rare in the world, and now he is taking photos.
How do you feel like a country bumpkin?
There are some photos taken, and I haven’t seen the Southern guys before, but I really haven’t seen such a flash!
Really, these senior officials in the south were in this mood at this time. I was really so depressed, I was completely suppressed by this imperial emperor.
Let’s talk about this reporter. The South did not call the reporter at all, because the current negotiation matters must be kept confidential!
I'm afraid that the people will know about this, otherwise I'll have nothing to do.
But, however, such a big event cannot be without a reporter, right?
Alas, isn't this very contradictory?
Anyway, our empire is not afraid. It would be better if our newspapers were not published in your south. This thing is just kept...
"This... let me guess. I should be named Mr. Aili or Mr. Li?" The emperor Li Mengyang walked to the front of a man wearing a thick suit and a little short, and this was a bit provocative.
"You bad guy! How could you be so proud?" Needless to say. He could speak to Li Mengyang like this, and he used Chinese... I was afraid that others would understand English... Then this person must be Eleanor!
Playing with a woman dressed up as a man again?
There is no way, it is rare for southern women to participate in politics at this time. Eleanor is a woman after all, and she has a special relationship with Li Mengyang. So, whether to come or not, how is it really taken as an important agenda by the Southern government.
This is related to the future of the country. How can we not discuss it carefully?
So Eleanor came like this, and everyone thought it would be best for her to do this.
"I'm picking you up." Li Mengyang immediately replied with a smile.
"Who asked you to pick me up?" Eleanor replied naturally when he heard this, but immediately thought that the scene at this time should not have been so flirting. "You are an emperor, be serious!"
"I'm not serious." Li Mengyang quickly put his face on his face, and then said in Chinese: "We Chinese have an old saying, "There is an old saying for us Chinese, "The heroes should wear golden armored battle suits and colorful auspicious clouds to marry his bride!" I don't have golden armored battle suits and can't step on clouds, so I drove such a warship over. Hehe..."
Obviously, Li Mengyang’s ‘old words’…
"What old sayings? Why haven't I heard it before? You..." Eleanor was very interested in language, but after she thought about it, she couldn't ask what happened later and blushed!
"You haven't learned much yet. The old saying is the old saying..." Li Mengyang is really, his face is not red, even if this old saying has not been born yet.
"Ahem...Ahem..." General Robert Li was really a little unable to bear it anymore. His daughter could not just talk to others on such an important occasion... Anyway, it was inappropriate, so there seemed to be something wrong with the general's throat.
"Oh! I won't tell you anymore!" Eleanor naturally understood what his old father meant, so he flushed his face and threw the imperial emperor there.
"Hahaha..." The emperor Li Mengyang smiled foolishly.
"..." The expressions of these senior government officials in the south at this time were so strange!
What the hell is this emperor? Are you here to pick up girls or come to negotiate?
Well, these people in front of you are usually gentlemen, and they probably scold them more elegantly...
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, you can come to Williamsburg. This move does show your sincerity for this negotiation." As the president of the South, Davis had to speak.
"Mr. Davis, there is no way. The James River is too narrow. My warship really can't drive in, so I have to negotiate here." Li Mengyang is really OK. He said this reason again.
"..." Jefferson Davis, half of his face was paralyzed, and at this time his other half of his face was almost paralyzed!
God! Is there anyone so arrogant?
Davis really wanted to scold this, but Davis still swallowed this sentence when he saw the giant ship and the huge gun barrel on it.
"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang just smiled. In fact, Li Mengyang naturally knew Davis's mental state at this time.
You, the president of the South, must not know the so-called "important things to say three times", right?
If I don’t say a few more times, I will be not perfect enough to pretend to be x like this!
The so-called pretending to be x is also technical. For example, if Li Mengyang pretends to be x this time, he can get a score of 90... Well, in fact, this is not just about pretending to be a b, it also has a very important strategic purpose.
This is really not bragging about Li Mengyang, it is true. Simply put, it is to give the negotiation team in the south a heavy psychological blow!
Have you seen it? Is this warship awesome? Why? Do you still want to resist? Be honest with me!...Li Mengyang, a time traveler from the Northeast, is real.
Sure enough, during the subsequent negotiations, these senior officials from the south did not mention the incident of turning against each other.
Yes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, anyway, I'll be fine. We just don't want to fight...
Since everyone has a consensus, it is better not to fight each other, so we can talk about some interesting topics.
What topic?
Simply put, the Confederate now wants to know the imperial emperor Li Mengyang. For the reconstruction of the south, there is nothing specific about this plan!
Yes, the empire said before that it would give the Southern autonomy, but slavery must be abolished. But what the abolishment of slavery really requires is money. The emperor of the empire said that it would be rebuilt, but how to carry out this reconstruction?
Li Mengyang said this at the beginning, but it is natural that the specific plan cannot be fully taken out. But if you want to talk about some details, it will be easy to do.
Li Mengyang quickly explained his southern reconstruction plan. To put it simply, it is...
Invest vigorously in infrastructure construction!
Well, this is not what the people in the South say, because the Southerners really don’t understand what they say.
What Li Mengyang said is that as the emperor of the empire, when the south was incorporated into the empire and you had autonomy, then I, the emperor of the empire, had reason to let the empire invest in the south. These investments will mainly focus on the reconstruction of cities and the construction of factories. The most important thing is the construction of railways, highways and telegrams!
It’s okay to say what happened before, urban reconstruction is urgent, and what kind of factory should be built in the factory? Everyone understands the railway, and there are telegrams in the south. But highways?
What is this thing?
Sure enough, the Southerners' heads that were blocked by the north for years were about to break down.
Well, in fact, there are not many highways in the world today, because there are still not many cars. Nowadays, whether it is imperial or exported to Europe, most of the cars run the original "road", which is the way to run for horses.
Highway, slab road... In simple terms, it is easy to understand. It turns out that cars are running on this highway, hey, cars...
Speaking of this, I basically understand that it is to build some automobile factories... Of course, the Southerners have never seen this thing before, and they still think it is easy to build a automobile factory, but it doesn't matter, this idea is not in a hurry to change.
So, with so many infrastructure constructions, this plan...
Li Mengyang emphasized that the entire empire is now launching the same plan, that is, all empire territories will be like this!
Then this is good!
The officials in the south were all very happy because if you look at it like this, everyone is doing similar things, so that they can communicate with each other. With communication business, it will naturally start.
Then, this reconstruction plan seems very reliable and very good!
The negotiations in the south were very smooth and fast. Everyone quickly found a common point of interest, that is, the south needs to be rebuilt. The south is really riddled with holes, and the empire is just about to invest, and the empire also needs to invest.
I have done a lot of real money because of aluminum before!
A large part of the gold flows to the empire, and the point-solving aluminum technology in the UK is newly created after all, and the production capacity is insufficient. In addition, the previous trade with the UK also made a lot of gold.
International currency exchange in this year has also made it convenient for Li Mengyang. This is when everyone stipulates their currency value, which basically deals with gold, so the ones they give to each other are gold, which is very convenient.
After fighting such a battle, I got a lot of real money and silver. That would be fine if I didn’t invest... The Spanish were stupid back then. Their royal family spent money all day and lived a luxurious life so good, but what about now?
Of course, Li Mengyang needs to invest, and he also needs to invest in these infrastructure constructions, because these constructions are actually directly related to his rule! (To be continued.)
