Dingyuan's sailors were busy. They were going to set sail today, and their destination was San Francisco on the west coast of the United States.
They had to stop in Hawaii to replenish their fuel and supplies.
Xiao Shenglin had deposited a huge sum of money in the bank as a start-up capital.
Xiao Shenglin had been living in seclusion for the past few days. He studied with the Hua sisters and played Fight the Landlord in his spare time. It was very interesting.
The Hua sisters were very happy to be able to study in the United States. As women, it was already very good for them to be able to go to school. The elders in the family would not let them study in the West.
In order to adapt to life in the United States, the three of them began to communicate in English.
Xiao Shenglin was the best. Fortunately, the system taught him American English. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
Xiao Shenglin wasn't wearing his military uniform today. Instead, he was wearing a white suit with a navy officer's cape. The two girls were dressed in thick western clothes, with a fox fur shawl and a western women's hat.
Compared to the surrounding marines, the three of them were like fashionable men and women. Behind them were five beautiful maids carrying boxes.
The maid costume was designed by Xiao Shenglin. It incorporated some anime culture. For some men with special hobbies, it was simply the best.
It was just the beginning of spring. If it was summer, she would be able to wear those more revealing maid costumes.
In this aspect, Xiao Shenglin was very active.
A few gorgeously dressed women formed a beautiful scene that attracted the attention of the sailors. These animals had only been lazy for a while before they were reprimanded by the officer leading the team and told to hurry up and work.
The warship had been fully stocked with food, fuel, water, and ammunition. It was pulling the anchor and igniting the fire, preparing to set off.
Xiao Shenglin brought the seven girls into the cabin and occupied the Commander's suite. As there were not many rooms, the Hua sisters planned to share a room with him. It was not like they had never slept together before. Moreover, Xiao Shenglin was very obedient and did not do anything.
Unfortunately, they did not know that times had changed.
The warship began to set off. The group of landlubbers who had never been on a ship were now in a good situation. At the beginning, it was nothing, but as time passed, they could not.
It had been like this for several days in a row. Xiao Shenglin was the fastest to overcome it.
When they reached the Pacific Ocean, this situation would be over.
Today was a sunny day, and many seabirds were resting on the masts and ship islands.
Early in the morning, Xiao Shenglin got up and exercised with the soldiers.
"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four."
On the deck of Dingyuan, a group of men were sweating.
The officers led the marines to do gymnastics. This was one of the daily homework after going out to sea. There was also the cleaning of the deck, but it was usually done by the recruits.
Xiao Shenglin returned to the cabin after his exercise. Breakfast was already prepared. It was a sandwich and hot cow milk.
Two young girls were eating. They were quite diligent, and they were even holding English books in their hands.
"Hey, you two, you're so hardworking."
"We don't have much time. I heard from the captain that we'll reach Hawaii today or tomorrow. If we don't work hard, we won't have much time left.”
"What's there to be afraid of?”Xiao Shenglin was referring to the female servants. Although these female servants were pretty, they didn't come from a good family. It was already good enough that they could read. How could they understand foreign languages?
But in a foreign country, how could he not learn their language? Xiao Shenglin couldn't possibly go to the grocery store by himself.
After breakfast, Xiao Shenglin began to look at his own plan. He would use penicillin and his own fashion design. He would even sell all of Dingyuan's technology, but not to the Americans, but to the Germans.
He was strengthening Germany's strength and fighting to the death with the United States and Britain.
The Germans were ready. Now their national strength had begun to gradually rise. If Xiao Shenglin agreed, they even planned to buy Dingyuan directly.
The Dingyuan was currently the world's largest battleship with the best air defense. There were also some technologies that were particularly interesting to the superpowers, and radar was one of them.
Because it was a warship, it was not easy to enter the port. After a clear explanation, the United States allowed the Dingyuan to enter the port. Some of the United States Navy soldiers even came to watch the Dingyuan and see the glory of the world's number one warship.
The Americans knew that Xiao Shenglin was a rich man, so they were very enthusiastic about him. They had no choice because it was a period of economic crisis. If Xiao Shenglin could pay to place orders in the United States, more workers would have jobs.
Warships were warships, so they naturally could not stop at the cargo port. The Dingyuan Emissary entered the United States 'Pacific Fleet base, which was Pearl Harbor.
There were only a few warships around. One of them was a battleship, but it looked very old. It was the USS Pennsylvania.
Compared to Dingyuan, there was too much of a difference. Whether it was in terms of size or appearance, they were completely crushed.
That was for sure. When they had built Texas, it was almost right after World War I.
Dingyuan began to anchor and stop the boat. Xiao Shenglin brought a few girls out of the cabin.
"Young Marshal, I won't get off the ship. These bastards can't get off the ship either. They've been running on the sea all year round and can't bear to see women.”Lin Yuanrong was already unhappy when Xiao Shenglin brought the women onto the ship.
You're so comfortable, kid. How are we single dogs going to live? Especially those female servants, who would go out to enjoy the sea breeze when they had nothing to do, resulting in a surge in the amount of toilet paper used.
The person in charge of the base was a major general. He was a little arrogant. In this era, almost all Westerners treated Chinese people like this.
"Hello, Xiao. My name is William Xiao. Thank you for investing in our Mergenstern Group. Those capitalists will like you very much.”
The two of them shook hands and asked about their well-being.
"Everyone takes what they need."
"Oh my god, your English is so good. It's hard for me to believe that you're Chinese. I think you're a native of America.”
"You must be joking. This is my first time in America.”
"Welcome, these lovely ladies, are they all your wives? Xiao, you're really an enviable man. In our country, you can only marry one wife.”William was telling the truth.
"Where are you taking us?"
"Of course it's my house. My wife Betty's cooking is not bad. I plan to let you try our American specialties.”
Xiao Shenglin broke into a sweat. Wasn't Western food just bread?
The Russians liked black bread. I wonder what Americans are like.
Speaking of food, China and France were the most enjoyable. The Americans were like his cousin, the United Kingdom. They were all countries with dark cuisines. For them, it was enough to eat their fill and did not pursue good food.
"No, no, no. I think it's better to let my maids cook. I'll treat you to some Chinese specialties.”
“why？That's fine too. You have to pay for Chinese restaurants here.”William expressed that he could accept it. He had admired the profound Chinese cuisine for a long time.
After getting into a few cars, the group returned to William's house.
He was the leader of the base after all. The house was not bad. It was a three-story villa with more than 150 square meters. There were flowers and grass outside. It looked modern, making Xiao Shenglin think that he had returned to the 21st century.
"William, your house is very good. I like this style. Look, it's next to the beach.”
"Of course, if it's summer, there's still coconuts.”
"Yeah, there's also a delicacy related to coconuts in China. It's called the Pearl Coconuts Boat.”
There were a lot of people, but it did not matter. William's house was very big and there were many guest rooms. It was obvious that he often entertained people.
