Chapter 500 Desperate Chinese Workers(1/2)

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said, "I need you to lead the way. After I get the money, I will take you out."

At this time, Claris could no longer hide her shrewdness: "You won't leave me there to die, will you? Huertas is a smart and cruel man, who is never merciless towards his enemies and knows how to stand in line.

"

"Our situation seems to be that you don't feel safe and I don't know anyone. Let's work together to fight?"

This time, Zhao Chuan took advantage of the fire and really fought alone.

I don’t have any friends, I don’t even know the way, and I haven’t equipped the Fortitude Armor yet.

He only knew that the two ends of the canal connected the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

Claris was equally optimistic and bold: "If you insist on asking for the money, then I will help you once. However, I must explain that I only heard that he had a drying room with mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in it, but I did not see it with my own eyes.

I have seen it. Once, I just took a look from a distance."

Zhao Chuanxin said in surprise: "So, you have been to Huertas's house?"

Claris hesitated: "Been there."

Zhao Chuanxin knew that the relationship between Claris and Huertas was different from what he thought.

But that's none of his business.

He took out a pen and paper: "I have an idea. Now, you say, I will draw, and we first understand the terrain."

"OK."

The two collaborated on the painting.

Clarisse described stumbling because of her limited ability to express herself in English.

But generally speaking, a simple map was finally drawn.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the door and said, "Let's enter from here."

Clarisse's eyes widened: "There are guards here, and there are quite a lot of them. Don't thieves usually climb over the wall?"

"You are right to listen to me." Zhao Chuanxin said firmly. "Now, I have to make some preparations."

As he spoke, he took out the paper pig, opened it, and folded it into a paper airplane.

Clarisse was stunned: "Is this your preparation?"



Huertas's dinner party was attended by people of many colors.

There are white people, yellow people, and mixed-race Latinos whose skin color is darker than the yellow people.

The white people were mainly William Emery and Keith. The former was the supreme commander in Panama and the latter was the head of the United Fruit Company in Central America.

The yellow race is dominated by Akira Takahashi, a representative of the Japanese Plant Fertilizer Co., Ltd. in Hawaii. They are preparing to enter Central and South America. Originally, Brazil was the main group because there are the largest number of Japanese immigrants. It just so happened that they would catch up with today's banquet and be blacklisted.

Ertas invited over.

On the Latin American side, Huertas was the only one, and Panamanian President Manuel Amado was not invited.

This is an interesting phenomenon.

At this time, a group of people were chatting.

Akira Takahashi could only listen for the time being and could not speak.

Keith said: "I heard that General Huertas has a beautiful confidante. Why didn't she come? I really envy you Panamanians. A man can marry many wives and have countless lovers."

Huertas frowned: "She's not feeling well today."

William Emery held a cigar in his mouth and sunk deeply into the soft leather sofa: "General Huertas, I heard that you have recently stockpiled a batch of weapons? Do you want to expand your army?"

Huertas' expression changed slightly: "In Panama, there is no one with real foresight. The situation is unpredictable. I just prepare in advance."

William Emery joked: "Our Marine Corps will protect this three-acre land, so you don't have to worry about it."

Huertas' face became even more ugly.

Panama does not have the ability to build a canal.

But the Panama Canal is too profitable, and it has not yet been fully opened. Money is flowing in every day, and both Manuel Amado and Huertas are very envious of it.

This ambition would become more and more swollen due to pink eye disease, so that Huertas later gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, seriously threatening Manuel Amado's status.

Manuel Amado went to American Dad to cry.

The United States has said that if it does not solve this problem, it will make Huertas look good.

In the end, Huertas had no choice but to disband part of the army, and the remaining military power was returned to Manuel Amado.

But that’s a story for another day.

At this time, Huertas was still lucky, thinking that he could exploit both sides to strengthen himself.

.Keith enjoyed listening.

United Fruit Company is not a fuel-efficient company.

They mainly built railways in various countries in Central America, focusing on Costa Rica. As a prerequisite, they gradually controlled banana plantations in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and other countries.

In 1899, it expanded railways and purchased ships on cheap land in Nicaragua, Jamaica, Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba and other countries, and developed into a monopoly organization covering all sectors from production, processing, transportation to sales.

In this era, whenever monopoly is involved, it is accompanied by bloody methods.

Just like Rockefeller.

Keith added fuel to the fire: "General Huertas, I heard that there was a disturbance on the canal during the day? Has the murderer been found? My business partners in Honduras and Colombia told me that these two

The country’s soldiers were intercepted and killed.”

What the United Fruit Company likes to do most is to collude with reactionary forces in various countries, fan the flames and manipulate politics.

In his opinion, this kind of thing is like poking a silly dog ​​up the wall.

And Huertas looks like a silly dog ​​who likes to bite people.

Everywhere the United Fruit Company went, it formed its own economic system and even made its own laws for the United Fruit Company estate. It was extremely arrogant and bad, often forming a "state within a state" in the local area.

However, history rarely mentions the United Fruit Company, which really underestimates this company.

Huertas put his wine glass on the table and said fiercely: "No one in Panama dares to be so presumptuous. No matter who he is, I will definitely catch him and make him pay with blood."

When he said this, Huertas showed a cruel look. He didn't look like a general. With his three-button shirt open, his chest made up of chest hair, and his face that was shiny and trembling, he looked like a general.

Bandit leader.

Keith smiled and said, "Actually, I can be of some help."

Huertas was stunned: "Mr. Keith, do you recognize the murderer?"

Keith shook his head: "No, but there are many Chinese workers in our company's estate. The Chinese are a very strange group. They don't like to fight alone. They stick together wherever they go. If you want to find one of them, you often just need to

Just need to find one of them."

Huertas looked fiercely: "That couldn't be better."

.Keith gave some instructions to his secretary.

In less than ten minutes, a dry and skinny Chinese worker was brought over with a cowering look on his face.

William Emery frowned and covered his nose symbolically, as if the smell emanating from the Chinese workers was unpleasant.

In fact, this is also the case. The Chinese workers are ragged and dirty, and they look like they have just finished working in the rain.

You still have to work in this kind of weather, and the hard work is evident.

The little Japanese Akira Takahashi next to him had a meaningful smile on his lips.

He was so confused that he immediately thought: Bringing people here so quickly showed that Keith was well prepared.

But he didn't interrogate him early, but brought him to the scene for operation, which is intriguing.

.Keith asked the Chinese worker: "Do you know what happened on the canal today?"

The Chinese workers were very honest and did not dare to look at these people.

He was too thin and had dark skin, even darker than Huertas looked.

When he spoke, his cheekbones moved up and down, and with his yin and yang hair and long braids, he looked very weird.

He said: "Sir, I know."

"Very good." Keith asked, "I know that the murderer is a Chinese. So, tell me, who is the murderer?"

Hua Gong shook his head in confusion: "Although I know, I have been working in the manor today. I really don't know this."

His English is very stilted, but his sentences are fluent, and he has obviously put in a lot of effort to learn it.

.Keith stood up and walked towards the Chinese worker: "What's your name?"

The Chinese worker was extremely nervous when he saw this, with a bit of fear and helplessness in his eyes: "Sir, my name is Tao Chen."

"Chen, do you know the laws of our manor?" Keith asked fiercely, looking at Chen Tao, not as if he were looking at a person, but as if he were looking at an animal: "You dare to lie to me? I know you Chinese, as long as you

The murderer is Chinese, you must recognize him."
