Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the table: "Okay, it's time to negotiate with Marler Gobi. The flowers I've been waiting for for this day are almost gone!"

"This……"

Dabanov thought to himself, could it be that you have been waiting to pay back the money?

Apparently the butt determines the head.

In the minds of the great powers, the only thing the Qing Dynasty can do is cede territory and pay compensation. Even if you win, you may have to pay some compensation.

After getting used to it, your thinking becomes rigid.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at him with bright eyes: "When and where will the negotiations be held?"

Dabanov was excited: "Tomorrow, we will start after lunch. The location is at the Russian Concession Municipal Conference Hall. Mr. Zhao can only walk from here for a few minutes, less than a mile away."

In fact, the time and place were not decided, but Dabanov was good at making decisions.

Why?

This will obviously boost his reputation and also increase the influence of the Russian Concession among the various concessions in Hankou - who else? I was the one who arranged Zhao Chuanxin, and I set the time and place. I just want to ask you if you accept it?

Zhao Chuanxin said, "Why don't you, the Six Kingdoms, bring all the soldiers from Hankou with you then?"

Dabanov panicked: "Mr. Zhao misunderstood, we do not want to start a war."

He came alone, but he was actually quite panicked.

A slight misunderstanding may lead to death.

But I have to come.

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette: "It's better to bring everything. If you want to start a war, Zhao won't be willing to fight with you again and again. Let's fight to the death!"

Dabanov felt nervous, this man is so arrogant!

The total number of soldiers and patrolmen from the Six Nations must be at least one to two thousand.

Are you fighting thousands of people by yourself?

But I remembered the news about Zhao Chuanxin fighting tens of thousands of policemen in New York, USA. The key point is that the tens of thousands of policemen did not take advantage of him.

He was extremely firm and vowed: "Mr. Zhao, please rest assured. I swear on the honor of the cousin of Tsar Nicholas II that this will never happen! Otherwise, we in the Russian Concession will be the first to disagree!"

……

An ocean liner arrives at Hong Kong Island.

In Victoria Harbor, a little old white man with a pale face and a haggard appearance got off the ship carrying a suitcase.

Passengers nearby stayed away from him.

It was already dark. After leaving the port, he grabbed a dock worker who was returning home from work and asked in somewhat broken Chinese: "Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to Xuantian Sect?"

The dock worker looked at him suspiciously: "What are you asking Xuantianzong for?"

"I work for Zhao Chuanxin!"

"Who?"

"Zhao Chuanxin!"

"Zhuo... do you really recognize our leader?"

"Head?"

Nikola Tesla obviously didn’t understand what being in charge meant.

"Zhao Chuanxin, I work for him."

Chinese was a language he learned unexpectedly on the ship, and his expression and listening skills were not very strong yet.

The dock worker scratched his head: "Come with me, don't lie to me, otherwise our Xuantian Sect wants you to look good!"

Many workers on Hong Kong Island like to use tiger skins as banners. If they have something to do, they can bring it up to Xuantianzong. It’s a good idea!

There are many "volunteers" wearing Xuantian's five-color armbands at the dock, and they are all closely related to Xuantian Sect.

As the New Year approaches, there are people patrolling even at night.

Nikola Tesla followed the dock workers to the Xuantian Sect office in Kowloon.

"I, Nikola Tesla, work for Zhao Chuanxin. Where is Zhao Chuanxin?"

Liu Wang, who just came back from Ao Island, happened to be here on business today.

King Liu is wearing a suit and leather shoes with a coat, and his dressing style is closer to that of Zhao Chuanxin. This outfit was made by Jiang Bo himself, and the price was very high.

He was wearing a top hat, a pocket watch on his chest, shiny leather shoes, and a cigar in his hand. It really looked like that.

He muttered: "This name sounds familiar, where have you heard it? Our leader travels all over the world, not in Hong Kong Island."

Nikola Tesla frowned: "No, can I contact him? I need his help for my experiment."

Are you taking yourself seriously?

King Liu was disdainful.

After following Zhao Chuanxin for a long time, the people of Xuantian Sect did not take foreigners seriously.

They are all defeated!

He held a cigar in his mouth and said carelessly: "Who is our leader? Didn't we just meet him?"

Nikola Tesla thought for a while: "Then help me contact Li Guangzong, he recognizes me."

Seeing that the foreigner didn't seem to be faking it, King Liu took him to the communications room.

Recently, several important offices of Xuantian Sect, such as Causeway Bay, Kowloon and Shek O Peninsula, have been installed with the latest telephones, which do not require hand-cranking while making calls and are powered by batteries.

King Liu called the Xuantian Sect headquarters in Shi'ao Peninsula: "Headmaster Li, there is a foreigner named He Gulas..."

"This is Nikola Tesla!"

"Yes, his name is Nicot, Lasila..."

Li Guangzong's head was full of questions, and he reacted in a moment: "Nikola Tesla?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's him."

"Is he here?" Li Guangzong raised his voice and said, "Let him answer the phone."

Nikola Tesla spoke with Li Guangzong before coming.

He said directly in English: "Li, I want to see Mr. Zhao."

Li Guangzong said: "Sir is in Hankou. I can try to contact him. How about you come to Xuantianzong headquarters to stay for a few days first?"

"No!" Nikola Tesla said: "I don't want to waste time. Please contact him immediately. I don't know if the laboratory he promised to build for me has been completed."

Li Guangzong said in his heart that he was just going to build a damn lab. The boss was running around and wasted all his money. How could he build a laboratory for you?

But he said, "Don't be impatient. I'll contact your husband first. I'll have someone arrange for you to stay in Kowloon."

Nikola Tesla said: "There is also a large amount of experimental equipment coming with the ship. I need you to send someone to help me unload it. This is very important."

"It's a small matter. You can stay here first, and I'll take care of the rest."

……

Early the next day.

After Zhao Chuanxin washed up, he took out the money and gave it to his apprentice: "Take the money and go have breakfast by yourself. Don't follow me today."

If the Japanese don't have good intentions, there will be danger in a big fight.

Zhao Yixian smiled and said: "Zhao Shenxian, don't worry, I will take good care of Benjamin."

"If Benjamin's survival ability is not as strong as yours, then he is not worthy of being my Zhao Chuanxin's apprentice. It would be easier to die." Zhao Chuanxin said: "As for you, come with me today to see the world first."

Benjamin Goldberg put Dayang in his pocket: "Don't worry, Master, I won't die even if Zhao Yixian dies."

Zhao Yixian: "..."

He really didn't want to follow Zhao Chuanxin into the dragon's pond and tiger's den.

You killed so many people and robbed millions of yen. Can they just let it go?

So what’s the most important thing?

Not only do foreigners think it is natural for the Qing government to cede territory and pay compensation, but even people like Zhao Yixian think it is normal. If you offend foreigners, you have to cede territory and pay compensation. This concept is deeply rooted.
