Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 571 Betting on Both Sides

  Reported by the "Brisbane Courier" published on March 19, 1889;

  The US diplomatic envoy, Mr. Creedman, who is about to return to China to report on his duties, accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter in the luxurious suite of the Citigroup cruise ship "Philadelphia Star" in Beilun Port.

  Mr. Creedman solemnly stated;

This was a successful diplomatic trip. He himself had extensive contacts with high-level officials in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and exchanged views on issues of mutual concern. The talks were frank and friendly, leaving him with Nice impression.

  Mr. Creedman repeatedly emphasized that during his mission to the Qing Dynasty, he was deeply impressed by the hardworking, brave, simple and enthusiastic Chinese, and he cherished the friendship with each other very much.

  Here, he saw overseas Chinese making important contributions to the construction of a new Australia. The US affirmed and appreciated this and is willing to work with overseas Chinese to contribute to the prosperity of Australian society.

  When talking about the "malicious placement of Australian hares", Mr. Creedman said;

  The Australian legal system originated from the United Kingdom and is the most efficient, open, fair and just legal system in the world. He called on Americans in Australia to respect local customs, abide by local laws, and make positive contributions to promoting bilateral relations.

  Mr. Creedman also said that he would like to see Chinese immigrants to Australia make more positive contributions in various aspects...

  In a luxury estate in Melbourne

   "Despicable and shameless...This lie-mouthed American hillbilly deceived us, why didn't he go to hell?"

  Gary Grant, the chairman of the Royal Victorian Gold Mine Owners Association, was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast. Suddenly, a mouthful of milk spewed out. He stood up in embarrassment and yelled, with a very angry expression.

   "My dear, what's the matter with you?" Madam Avelia asked in surprise.

  Gary Grant pointed at the newspaper with disgust, and said with anger in his tone; "Look, we have suffered a shameful betrayal."

  Avelia picked up the newspaper and looked at her face also changed, but the performance was not so intense, she raised her head and said calmly; "These American hillbillies are really untrustworthy, my dear, don't tell me you don't have plan B."

  Gary Grant was stunned when he heard the words, his emotions eased a lot, and he turned and sat down without saying a word. After the maid wiped off the milk stains, he waved them to let them all go down. Obviously, he had something important to say to his wife alone.

  The maid who had retired concealed the door, leaving the old lady with a space to talk alone.

   "Dear Madam, I did think about it carefully. What should we do when those hateful yellow-skinned monkeys spread over and take over Melbourne City Hall?"

  Garrie Grant looked dispirited and said in a heavy tone;

  "From the comparison of the strength of the North and the South, Australia's fall seems inevitable.

The owner of   Red Fort has gathered huge strength, with countless wealth and a population size ten times larger than ours. Moreover, Chinese immigrants are still coming in like a tide, and the weight of the balance is getting heavier every day.

  The only thing we rely on is London, and only London can redeem this poor overseas territory.

  The question is whether we can support the arrival of reinforcements?

If the Sydney line of defense can be maintained, relying on the broad depth and strong beliefs, Victoria and New South Wales will fight stubbornly. With the joint efforts of the two sides, they are very sure that the situation will be maintained for a long time without collapse. Wait until the dawn of victory arrives.

  Sadly, everything did not go as we wished.

  The owner of the Red Fort is a tough and wise opponent. The New South Wales midterm elections in July was a breakthrough, and it was also his long-planned political conspiracy. After the affirmative act passed last year, I knew the situation was terrible.

  The bursting of the river bank has caused torrential floods, which cannot be recovered by manpower.

Many people have seen this. The upper class members of the Southern State, including Governor Jeff Bridges, have transferred their property and sent their wives and daughters out of Australia. Among these people is the former Governor Morgan McLaury, Speaker of the House. Sir Matthew Crowley, of course, is also indispensable for George Neville.

  Now, we should also think about it for ourselves. "

  Avelia has been listening quietly, answering the words in a timely manner; "I'm listening, my dear, talk about your plan."

Garrie-Grant said in a deep voice; "I have visited London, Paris, Vienna and New York last year, and the last place I chose was New York. This is a prosperous metropolis with unlimited possibilities in the future. The most important thing is Yes... the upper class here is the English world, and we can easily integrate into it."

"New York? Oh... God, there are a lot of poor Irish ghosts there, and in European society, Americans are generally regarded as rude hillbillies, can't we go to Paris? I love that beautiful city, we can be there Buy a beautiful independent building."

   "Madam, the French are not friendly to us."

  "But I like Paris, I like Paris’ elegant fashion, galleries that gather world art, intoxicating French wines, perfumes, and famous French cuisine. As for the little jealousy of the French, I don’t think it is a problem."

  "Madam, we can buy a large farm in the United States, covering an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers. There are more investment opportunities in the United States, which can allow our wealth to grow steadily."

   "Oh... honey, that's not a problem."

Avelia stood up and turned around happily. Her precious French dress came from an authentic French court tailor shop in Red River Valley. It was worth £420. The beautiful folded lace skirt was inlaid with hundreds of diamonds. , Shining brightly in the sun.

She looked at Garrie-Grant charmingly and said; “The huge wealth is a burden for us. We can buy an old winery in Burgundy, France, build a castle on the sunny beach of the Mediterranean, in Paris By buying luxurious mansions, children can receive authentic European aristocratic education, attend high-class receptions from time to time, and talk with world-renowned artists. Isn’t this kind of life much better than that of a hillbilly in New York?"

Mrs.   's words moved Garrie Grant. As the chairman of the Royal Gold Mine Owners Association, Grant Gold Mine has more than 7,000 mining workers and produces more than 200,000 ounces of gold each year. He is not bad at all.

  A thing that can be solved with money, is that still a problem?

  Since both the wife and the child are willing to go to Paris, let’s go to Paris. I’m willing to buy it if I have money!

  As for whether French artists will give themselves cuckolds, Garrie Grant will not consider these boring questions. Add a little more artistic blood to the family. Isn’t it fragrant?

  The couple wisely did not talk about London. London’s upper-class society is notoriously high. It is not just money. No noble status is despised everywhere and regarded as a nouveau riche from a remote country.

   "My dear, what do you do if I leave with my child?" Avelia asked with a trace of worry on her face suppressing her inner joy.

have to say

  This woman has a talent for acting. She put her small white hand on the back of Jiali Grant's hand, her big blue eyes flickered at her husband, and she wanted to cry.

"The matter is not that serious, and the Orientals will not be killed soon. We are just preparing for the worst. The Ungru-Saxons are not so easy to conquer. Anyone who dares to reach out will definitely Be prepared to pay a heavy price." Jiali-Grant patted his wife's jade hand gently, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and said firmly;

  "The Grant family has been operating in Victoria for more than 100 years. We will defend our traditional life and family wealth with our blood and lives. No one can take all this without my consent.

  I will mobilize the members of the Royal Gold Mine Owners Association, take out part of the assets to purchase weapons and equipment, and form an armed militia group. I believe that as long as there are enough bullets, 100 whites are enough to deal with 1,000 Orientals.

God bless you

  The weapons we prepared are not useful. If the owner of the Red Fort has not been stunned by his profit, then maybe nothing will happen to the majesty of the British Empire. "

   "God bless, I hope so." Avelia dashed a cross on her towering chest.

  Her movement caused Garrie Grant to return his attention to the lady's body, and her eyes could not help but show a scorching light.

The middle-aged Avilia showed the charm of a mature woman everywhere. The white swan-necked breast peaks towered high, and it was even more charming under the luxurious dresses. That trace of worry aroused the man's strongness. Protect desire, uh... and animality.

  Obviously, Evelia received her husband’s eager gaze sensitively, and she slapped Jiali Grant's arm in a tender manner, seeming to blame him for thinking about these things when talking about serious issues.

  She turned and twisted her slender waist and walked to the door. A Qianqian jade hand was placed on the brass doorknob. She seemed unable to unscrew it, turning her head back with a pitiful look for help.

  Well, this is a coquettish stunner who can grasp the psychology of men very much.

  Gary Grant couldn’t help being eager anymore, strode over to squeeze Avilia by the door, and reached in with one hand from her dress, looking impatient.

   "嘤咛" gasp

Avelia's rugged body seemed to have lost its weight. She lay softly under the man's strong body like mud, and the deep white gully seemed to be smeared with a red cloud. Her eyes looked at Jiali in a blurry- Grant said; "My dear, don't be here..."

  The more you say not to be here, the more men’s thriving desires can’t help.
