Chapter 142 - Messenger Louis

To be a soldier was to train the courage, and these condemned Japanese prisoners were the best objects to train the courage. Xiao Letian's sit-down method allowed him to dig out more than 600 thugs that had killed people before, and these death row thugs were more than enough for 1000 people to train with.

The youthful faces were red from the blood. Prisoners who were queuing up to die and recruits who were changing their sabers were gathered at the dock. Death was singing a dirge in the air. Countless ghosts were drifting with the waves.

"Foolish kids, today I'll show you the Blood Province. In the future, go to the battlefield and pee your pants. If anyone doesn't dare to make a move, then hurry up and take off your clothes and leave …"

"From today onwards, from this slash onwards, all of you will forget the status of the commoners. You all have to remember that you are one soldier … "The Prime Minister is watching us from above. Who wants to make a fool out of me? Even if you get lost, I'll still beat you up …"

"Damn it, why are your hands shaking!?" Just look at his neck and kill him like he was a beast … "No no, we should say that we're killing animals!"

In the line of soldiers, the Squad Leader, Queue length and all the other Company Commander s were encouraging the newly selected recruits, while the older soldiers who had participated in the battle were watching the new recruits with gleeful smiles on their faces. Every time a mistake was made, the older soldiers would immediately burst into laughter.

"Look, look, look, this kid is chopping meat stuffing …" "Hahaha, the blade is already rolled up but it still hasn't cut him to death …"

"Aiyo, the raw melon seeds don't even dare to open their eyes …" "Haha, they've all cut off their butts …"

"Stinking brat, don't embarrass yourself, you're already swinging both legs …" Go home and drink some milk! "

In the army, it was just like this. People only saw men as good, but in the eyes of veterans, it was as if they didn't have any balls at all. This army had a very thick imprint of Xiao Letian. In that night of blood and fire, Xiao Letian crazily took the lead and charged forward. His figure was long imprinted in the hearts of the brothers. Even the Mr. Xiao had rushed all the way to the front, who under his command would be unwilling to give up their lives?

Xiao Letian's new army definitely did not lack heroes. The creed that all the military officers instigated was that this daddy will be the first one to go up. On the battlefield, as long as an officer was the first to jump out, he or she could only do it in the training field, and only an officer could do it in the training field, only then could he or she request for a soldier to do it.

This was a miraculous company that was very different from all the other armies in East Asia. It gave the soldiers a sense of belonging that they had never felt before. There was no one here who was brought here by the strong people, and no one who lived for the sake of food and food. Unexpectedly, the literacy rate had reached 100% here.

Veterans could laugh at recruits for not having any balls, but no one would bully a recruit, let alone give them corporal punishment. Once the veterans and recruits started having conflicts, the veterans would only mock and say, "Queue drills, cross-country climbing, musket shooting, close-combat …" "Pick whatever you want. As long as you can beat us, you'll be the boss. If you can't, then be obedient."

Xiao Letian really liked this kind of military atmosphere. This was also a military spirit that he had painstakingly nurtured throughout the years.

As expected, under the stimulation of the veterans, these recruits started to get excited one by one. "What's there to be proud of? You've only killed one more evil spirit than me. I, your father, was carrying him on my back, but I didn't meet the prime minister that night. How about I be a veteran too …"

"It's fine if you kill me, but now you're laughing at me. When you followed the Prime Minister into the battle, you've probably peed your pants a few times already, and now you're even laughing at me?" "F * ck …"

With the two groups of people fighting, the new recruits were able to stabilize the formation and the following trials gradually went back to normal. The phenomenon of chopping meat was getting fewer and fewer. Killing was indeed a skill that needed to be practiced.

Xiao Letian only watched the execution on the dock for a little while, he had more important work to do. His old friend the American priest Louis had already arrived by boat from the Tanggu, and he had brought with him the latest information.

"God bless these poor souls, Amen!" Standing on the Coiled Mountain Road, Louis looked at the faraway Asura's Hell like execution grounds, and began to pray for the dead.

"My dear Louis, these are all thugs who recklessly killed civilians, are you praying for them? They deserve it. "

"No, no, my dear Shaw, they are lost. They have not kept their humanity in the face of desire, and God loves them for what they deserve! God will not forsake them as long as he repents of their sins. "

Xiao Letian was almost angered to death by Louis, he thought to himself, when you killed the bandits in Taihang Mountains, you were never this merciful before. Tsk...

"Alright, let's not talk about these lost sheep. Tell me what good news you have for me." Xiao Letian did not return to the Cherry Blossom House. Instead, he sat on a rock and rubbed his hands as he asked excitedly.

"Oh, Xiao, don't you Chinese have the proverb 'Don't be too ugly with your food'? Look at your greedy look. If your people and subordinates saw it, they would laugh at you …"

When I sent you to the Beijing's courtyard, your smile was even more obscene than mine. "Quick, quick, hurry up and tell us the good news …"

Louis had not recruited Xiao Letian at all. Now, not only were the two of them good friends in private, but they also had a very close relationship with each other due to the fact that Xiao Letian had given Louis 10% of the shares.

Louis was extremely familiar with the Ocean trade, he knew how much power the Letian Firm, who ruled over the business circles of the Tanggu, had. Louis was also surprised at times. He couldn't understand how Xiao Letian could be so smart to actually think of bribing God.

'Oh, please forgive me, forgive my slip of tongue '. But confession was repentance, and the 10% of shares that Xiao Letian bestowed to him was not actually to Louis, but to the American Church. Louis was just a substitute.

When the American Church heard about an enlightened gentleman from the Kingdom of Qing who had donated a large amount of wealth to the Church, not only did he have land, he also had shares. Furthermore, this gentleman was a scholar who was proficient in western studies, the American Church was immediately in a frenzy.

The ancient Great Eastern Empire, the mysterious continent with thousands of years of history, the European Pope did not hesitate to instigate the strong to fight against the Great Qing for the sake of preaching. Even after spending hundreds of years of hard work, none of the missionaries in the English and French had achieved the same amount of credit as Louis. This matter was simply giving too much face to the American Church.

Reputation. This was what it meant to gain prestige. With the American Church desperately trying to spread the news to the masses, Xiao Letian would soon become the most respected Chinese in the hearts of the American people, and even the Emperor of Qing would not be able to compare to him.

Every church and every priest in the quiet village in the bustling city would take Xiao Letian as a positive example from time to time to encourage people to love God. In the long run, Xiao Letian would become the symbol, and gradually he would become the number one person in China, and would receive the love and respect of countless Americans.

This was an invisible fortune. If everyone in the United States thought that Xiao Letian was a good person, then from today onwards, any United States Government, including their President, would have to be polite and respectful to Xiao Letian.

"Dear Shaw, why does God favor you so much and give you such a clever mind? "I'm so jealous, so jealous …"

Xiao Letian rolled his eyes, thinking that this is the effect of the Traveller's Halo, you don't understand, do you? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as you cooperate with me, it'll be fine.

"Louis looked at Xiao Letian's cocky appearance and decided that he would not allow himself to continue being this arrogant. He needed to suppress him a little." "Oh, my dear Xiao, the church I built in Beijing still has a huge funding gap. I hope my old friend can help me out …"

"What?" Still short of money... Manager Fan has written a letter to tell me that you have taken more than 50,000 silver from the foreign bank. Now you even want more? God will punish you... " Xiao Letian said with his eyes wide open.

"No, no, no, God will be grateful to me. Because of my greed, more believers will receive benefits, and I can even let you receive the grace of the Lord. I am doing the right thing, aren't you guys just saying, 'It is hard to be merciful, but it is hard to be merciful'. You have to learn to bear with it. What you receive is always much more than what you are willing to give away …"

Their heads were almost touching. They were bargaining like two smugglers messing with cultural relics. They were mumbling something in English that no one nearby could understand. After discussing for half an hour, Louis finally received another donation from Xiao Letian. Fifty thousand eagles was used to build his church in Beijing.

Xiao Letian, who was bleeding with heartache, finally got the good news. Due to Xiao Letian solving the identity problem, coupled with the many powers working together, the American Minister Hua Ruohan finally let go of the matter. Although they did not come up with a written agreement, they had finally reached an oral agreement.

Three second-hand large scissor boat s and a set of latest model coin machine, with the exception of the battleship trade which had to be negotiated separately, the other army weapons such as guns, cannons and the like could be opened for sale.

As for the silver trade that Xiao Letian wanted the most, the United States had initially agreed. The Letian Firm was the only Asian firm that could engage in it. Letian Firm was allowed to trade goods or gold for silver, but the percentage of gold that could be traded had to reach 10%.

Xiao Letian knew what the Americans was planning. At this time, Europe and the North America still believed in the supremacy of gold, both were directly locked in place by the value of the pound and the dollar. All of the countries' treasury treated gold as their first store of precious metal. Silver was a currency that people did not care about, which was why Xiao Letian's purchase plan was successful.

"Mm …" To be honest, 1/10 of the gold trading volume gives me a lot of pressure. Can you send a message to United States Government to reduce the proportion by half?

Hiss! Louis inhaled a breath of cold air, "Oh my god, you can actually control the public procurement in Great Qing? "You've really surprised me. I can pass you this message, but I don't think I'll be able to use it after a while …"

"It has already been one and a half months since the riot. Washington already knows the details and your conditions. I think the special envoy of the President will arrive in the Pacific Ocean soon. Be at ease and wait for another month."
