The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 777: Cheating and abduction
Kang Youwei made fake photos and developed several of them.

Although there is a little flaw, most people would never think that photos can be faked.

Then he began to think about how to use these photos.

After going out, you can't just go back in disgrace.

He first targeted the wealthy Malaysian businessmen in Los Angeles and San Francisco. These people had not been in the United States long, were not familiar with Chen Zhengwei, and were eager to integrate here.

But after hesitating for two days, he still didn't dare.

This place is too close to Chen Zhengwei. If the news leaks out, I will definitely be in trouble.

He just wants to gain benefits, not to die.

Then he turned his attention elsewhere.

Hawaii...Ryukyu...Southeast Asia.

"Nanyang!" Kang Youwei thought about it and felt that Nanyang was the most suitable place.

Although most of the wealthy Malay businessmen moved to the United States, there were still wealthy Chinese businessmen in Siam, the Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines. At most, these people had heard of Chen Zhengwei or seen reports about Chen Zhengwei in the newspapers.

He even thought of the words to say.

Chen Lao Hu wants to build a new China.

After sorting out his thoughts, he used the money he had on him to buy a boat ticket to Hawaii.

After arriving in Hawaii, I used the photo as a stepping stone to visit Chen Fang, the richest Chinese in Hawaii.

When he was in Los Angeles, he heard about some things in Hawaii and knew that Chen Fang was not very popular nowadays.

When Chen Fang saw the photo, she immediately recognized Chen Zhengwei and quickly invited Kang Youwei in.

After meeting Chen Fang, Kang Youwei first talked about the situation in Los Angeles, and intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he was very familiar with Chen Zhengwei.

He then denounced Chen Fang for being confused. Hawaii is a key transportation hub in the Pacific Ocean and is being eyed by all the great powers. It will inevitably be controlled by all the countries. The King of Hawaii was just wishful thinking, and Chen Fang was also extremely confused.

If Chen Fang had visited Chen Zhengwei earlier, she would not have ended up like this.

Although he still seems to be the richest man in Hawaii, his business has shrunk a lot, and he won't be the richest man for long.

He then said that Chen Fang was a capable and visionary person, and although he was confused for the time being, there might be a chance for things to turn around. He asked Chen Fang to relax and wait and see what happens.

Kang Youwei spent a day eating and drinking at Chen Fang's place and then said goodbye. He came from Los Angeles and was going to Southeast Asia to do some work.

I was passing through Hawaii so I came to visit.

As for what to do, he didn't say.

However, Chen Fang was desperate and was trying every possible means. Besides, Kang Youwei was eloquent and had photos with Chen Zhengwei, so Chen Fang had already believed him.

When he left, she gave him $6000 for travel expenses and invited him to visit Hawaii again when he returned.

If you can help him put in a few good words with Chen Zhengwei, he will definitely reward you handsomely.

Kang Youwei left with 6000 US dollars, which was given to him by the other party voluntarily. This made him in a good mood and more confident about this trip to Southeast Asia.

……

Wanyun is pregnant, which is a big deal in a mansion in the city center.

Chen Zhengwei asked Wanyun to find a wet nurse for herself, but Wanyun gave up and went to find Lin Changning with a humble look. It was Lin Changning who helped her arrange one.

The main reason is that Wanyun has always been humble and docile. Lin Changning has a sharp personality, but he will never make things difficult for Wanyun.

Besides, there are so many people out there. She heard that Cicely Dupont is in Los Angeles recently.

There is a yard full of roses on the other side of the harbor, which is where Cicely Dupont lives. On May 5, Aaron came to Cicely to look for Chen Zhengwei.

"Brother Wei, I just got the news that Germany, Austria and Italy formed an alliance yesterday! Is this news important?"

Chen Zhengwei picked up the cigar, lit it, and went to the yard to sit down with Aaron.

Cicely saw Chen Zhengwei sitting in the sea of flowers in the room and thought the scene was beautiful, so she took out her drawing board and stood at the window to paint.

"Ms. Dupont!" Aaron waved to Cicely downstairs, and Cicely smiled sweetly at the two of them.

"Brother Wei, Miss Dupont has such a sweet smile! But she is definitely not smiling at me!" Aaron said to Chen Zhengwei with a smile.

Chen Zhengwei looked up at Cicely, then looked away and asked Aaron while smoking a cigar, "Are there any specific details?"

"There are some... some content that they have announced." Aaron immediately took out a telegram and gave it to Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei sat in the garden and read the telegram. After a moment, he analyzed: "This alliance is different from the previous ones. The previous ones were loose political alliances and defensive military alliances. This time it is expansionary... This military alliance breaks the traditional power division in Europe. Europe is gradually moving towards a camp-based military confrontation."

"Confrontation? Will there be a fight?" Aaron asked excitedly.

"I fucking said so much, and you only heard these two words?" Chen Zhengwei raised his leg and kicked him, cursing angrily.

"There will definitely be a fight, but not now. It needs to be prepared."

"This time Germany is targeting France! The French are not in such a good situation!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Germany was afraid of French retaliation after its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, and Italy was competing with France in the colonization of Africa..."

"And the Austro-Hungarian Empire was competing with Russia in the Balkans, so they both needed some external military support."

"France wants to catch up with Britain, take revenge on Germany, and compete with Italy... Now that Germany and Italy have formed an alliance, France will also look for someone to form an alliance with under pressure..."

"It should be Russia! With the alliance between Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy, the Russians will be passive in the Balkans." Chen Zhengwei said as he thought.

He was not clear about the history, but with his vision he could fully analyze the situation behind.
The complex situation that France currently needs to face is also one of the reasons why they let go of Panama so readily before.

They have neither the energy nor the desire to compete in America and the United States.

"As Europe begins to enter into camp confrontation, the situation will become increasingly tense, like a powder keg. At that time, just a little spark will cause a 'boom'." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Brother Wei, how long will this take?"

"I don't know..." Chen Zhengwei spread his hands: "Do you think I'm a god?"

It will definitely not take 20 or 30 years.

As for how long it will take, that depends on how much he adds fuel to the fire.

But one thing is very important: the British will soon run out of money.

As the country with the most powerful navy in the world, what will the British capitalists and aristocrats do if they run out of money?
This is a huge variable.

Chen Zhengwei chatted with Aaron for the whole afternoon, then kicked Aaron away. He went upstairs and walked behind Cicely. He saw that in Cicely's painting, there was only the outline of a yard, and then there was herself sitting there, with her hand holding a cigar raised, as if she was saying something.

Apart from Chen Zhengwei, everything else, whether it was the yard, the sea of flowers, or the two purple-flowered trumpet trees, were just outlines.

"If you sit there, I can only see you..." Cicely put down the paintbrush, turned her head and kissed Chen Zhengwei on the face, then playfully smeared paint on Chen Zhengwei's face.

Chen Zhengwei slapped her on the butt and put his arm around her waist: "Go change your clothes and go out for dinner."

……

A day later, Chen Zhengwei held a family dinner at his mansion in Los Angeles, and Aaron brought all the students who were going to West Point Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy.
