"But it's really good that Britain doesn't interfere in our war with Spain." Olney also doesn't want to attract British attention. Now Britain's attention is on southern Africa, which couldn't be better.

Are the British so scary? Sheffield smiled indifferently. In his eyes, the British island country's ability to maintain its status as a world hegemon until now has been the limit of British diplomats in the past. The local power is too small, and the navy does not exist.

The threat from the Army is more real.

After all, the world must be managed by countries with large populations and large areas, and there are too many challengers to Britain. The disadvantage of insufficient local strength is amplified. Which one is France, Germany, and Russia? Which one is more fuel-efficient? In this era, even the British themselves may not be able to manage it.

They don't even know who their enemy is.

Even though Wilhelm II has had enough sense of presence in the past two years, does Britain really list Germany as an opponent that must be dealt with? This is not necessarily true. We also need to consider the imperial Russia that did not fight the Russo-Japanese War. Before the Russo-Japanese War

Diou is a very scary existence. Just looking at its huge territory makes people feel intimidated when they open the map.

The huge territory and population are of course useful. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would be a traditional agricultural empire. How could it not be treated like India? Europe’s wars against the Qing Dynasty since 1840 have all been rapid.

Decide the war quickly, withdraw your troops and negotiate peace immediately after winning the battle, to avoid starting a real colonial war, just like what happened in Africa and South Asia.

What the Qing Dynasty is currently encountering are wars between countries. Britain, France, and Russia are all taking advantage of it, just taking some advantage. If it were like when Mongolia went south to destroy the gold, forcing the Qing Dynasty to the point where it would be death anyway, to be honest

In the First World War, the Ottomans in West Asia were pushed to the limit and lost almost all of their Turkic homeland. They risked their lives to fight the British, but the British were left bloody and bloody.

The war did not last long and was completed in a few battles. The United States was about to start a war against Spain. The characteristic of this kind of battle was that the exchange ratio was very exaggerated, almost one-sided, but it did not last long. The Spanish-American War and the Boer War

Almost starting from the front and back, the United States immediately defeated Spain, and the British fell directly into the trap. I believe no one thought that the Boers' national strength was stronger than Spain's.

This is also the reason why Sheffield feels that there is no problem in using Chinese workers. If they cannot defeat the great powers of industrialized society, there is still no problem in using Chinese workers to build a colony in Southeast Asia. There is absolutely no way that the ship will capsize in the ditch.

This matter was left to Evelin to communicate with the Chinese workers. While sending the telegram, Sheffield now had to choose one of two directions. Of course he wanted them all, but he only had one person, so he could only

Staring in one direction, Cuba is under the nose of the United States, so it should be solved faster. The overall situation here is to follow the US military to Asia, and it should be too late.

On the same day, Evelin, who was in Los Angeles, received a warning from her boss, read it over and went directly to the secretariat and pushed in the door.

"Assistant!" More than a dozen young and beautiful women stood up, each of them looking very capable and said hello to Evelin.

"Gather some people to go to San Francisco with us. The boss has something for us to do." Evelin bit her lip and looked at the girls from the secretariat with a complicated expression, but she still took the overall situation into consideration and said, "The boss asked us to do something."

Let’s all work hard to do this well.”

After all, this is the tradition of Sheffield United Company, and this tradition is also maintained here in Los Angeles. That is, when the boss is away, women are in charge of things. Now United Company is at the forefront of gender equality in the workplace, and is deeply loved by women in the United States.

, but ordinary women don’t know that this is a wolf den.

The boss these women said got on the train back to Texas, and then went down the Mississippi River to the port of New Orleans. He boarded the USS Maine and scared the slave owners.

, the thought that there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me makes him feel that he should keep a low profile recently.

On the other side of the sea, the plains of Kurdsac are full of flowers and green grass, and the sea breeze on the beach is so warm and pleasant no matter what time. Port-au-Prince is the largest city in Haiti, and it is also the capital and largest seaport of Haiti.

The largest handicraft city, the largest population gathering place, the largest, etc... This is what a small island country is like, one city is responsible for almost all the center responsibilities in the country.

A group of people standing on the dock wore blue uniforms similar to military uniforms. On each person's left arm, there was an armband embroidered on the clothes. The armband was in the shape of a shield, with a white lone star in the middle.

On the central axis, the left half of the armband is black and the right half is gold. People wearing this armband are all employees of the Sheffield Black Gold Transport Company, and they are currently in business and are not doing their jobs.

.

As the sound of a ship's whistle came from far away, a cargo ship slowly docked with the ship's whistle. Not long after, the guests on it came down one by one. Everyone also wore the same armband on their clothes. It was clear at a glance, but

Black and gold are better positioned opposite.

"It's time to hurry up. After getting your telegram, we immediately boarded the ship. If the ship hadn't been the property of the United Company, I would have wanted to kill two people to express my anxiety." The leader got off the ship.

, stamped his feet vigorously and said, "Those who are floating on the sea feel that their bodies no longer belong to them."

"Stop complaining, Brown! What's the point of hanging out with those black people in Liberia every day? Although there is indeed a lot of smuggling of ivory and jewelry to be busy, it's not as interesting as here." John Connor came to meet a man for his friend.

hugged him, and kept talking, "The boss wants you to come back, doesn't he have something he needs? Have you brought everything?"

Is there no black people here in Haiti? Brown was noncommittal about John Connor's comfort, and nodded, "We have mobilized most of the station's manpower, and the necessary heavy machine guns and army cannons are all on the ship. Naturally, we have also brought what everyone has."

Shotgun.”

"That's good. Although there is no shortage of weapons in Haiti, there are also armed forces from some of the boss's friends. They are also here, so bring more if you can." John Connor nodded and pulled Brown towards him.

Walking inside Port-au-Prince, as for the issue of unloading, who said we have to unload the cargo? Do we have to carry it on our backs and swim to Cuba after unloading?

Port-au-Prince is the base where the United Company has been cultivating for many years. In fact, if Cuba were not a Spanish colony, Cuba would be a more suitable overseas location for the Black Gold Company. The current ruling class in Haiti is a mixed-race class, and black people are in the position of being ruled.

As for why there are no white people, there are actually some. Poles have a gathering place on the island.

As for the descendants of other white colonists, there are none. Don't think that colonization is a risk-free thing. It is not surprising that colonists from different countries fight against each other, but once something happens to the native land, it will coincide with the colonial resistance.

The brains are no harder than those of the colonized people. The original colonists of Haiti were treated in this way. The Poles survived because they disobeyed military orders and were pardoned by the Haitians.

Bang... After a gunshot, the shooter praised with satisfaction, "It is very powerful and has a long range. It is also very suitable for the environment in Central America. The shotguns produced by the gun factory are really good."

The citizens of the United States have always been particularly fond of shotguns, and they are the home of modern shotguns! As early as the Western era, when faced with attacks by tough Indians, white farmers who did not have a numerical advantage were often equipped with large-caliber shotguns. In this way

, one shot can kill multiple Indians. Similarly, the U.S. Army has also developed and equipped various shotgun weapons in previous wars.

This time is no exception. If a war breaks out, the main battlefields will be Cuba in the Caribbean and the Philippines thousands of miles away. They are both tropical jungle operations. In the face of enemy forces that are easy to hide and suddenly appear, the US military relies heavily on them.

A shotgun that can knock down enemy soldiers by firing instantly without aiming.

"This is a shotgun jointly developed with the Browning Company. The domestic army is also equipped with such a shotgun." John Connor did not object to the test gun, but explained on the side, "If

If we really fight, the weapons we use are similar to those used by the federal army."

"Then I think the Spaniards are going to be in trouble!" The man who was testing the gun wiped the shotgun very carefully, "Don't worry, when we were in Brazil and fighting the Brazilian government forces, the environment was similar to here. It should be.

Not a problem.”

"Of course that's the best. In addition to our Black Gold Company, there are now more than 8,000 people. Armed forces are still arriving every day. Cooperation will be a problem. Our bosses are all

My closest friends, I hope that when we fight, we can also be close."

John Connor said this not only to the man who was testing the gun, but also to other people present. Hearing this sentence, everyone nodded. The two most relied on protective cruisers are both on John Connor.

In Connor's hands, they didn't want to be fed to fish before they even got there. If something happened at sea, they wouldn't be able to use all their skills.

"It's just the logistics that people need to worry about. I wonder if Black Gold Company and the Haitian government are close to each other!" Some people are a little worried about the current situation. After all, it is a cross-sea operation, and all risks have increased a lot.

"If the war really starts, you just need to tell the Haitians to fight Spain, and they will support it." John Connor smiled and said, "Although this small island country is extremely poor, it has supported the Dominicans in resisting Spain before.

rule."

As time goes by, more and more private armed forces from Central American countries are gathering in Haiti, and soon they reach 10,000 people. Many people are waiting for how the war will start, or maybe they have made a wrong judgment and start fighting.
