Chapter one hundred and ninety-four the surprise of the British

Raccoon City is named because there are a large number of wild raccoons nearby. Although it has only been two months since the company's hands, it still shows that there is enough potential. Raccoon fur, both for white Europeans in the 18th century and Chinese in the 21st century, is a very precious and rare fur. Originally, there were still many in North America and the price was enough, but during this period, because of the large-scale acquisition of Xiao Lin, the price of these raccoon skins has doubled several times in two months.

In addition, this place has developed into the company's latest fur trading market. Fortunately, Xiao Lin transferred all the company's fur business here. Since that's the case, he would not fail to build it. You know, since the company has developed to the present day, most of the company is supported by Xiao Lin's reselling of fur gold and antiques. Xiao Lin still attaches great importance to the fur business, and it is easier to get rid of it compared to gold and antiques.

With the efforts of the company's powerful construction team, Raccoon City has undergone great changes. These, Collins, who came from Boston, have a very clear feeling. Collins-Linman, the successor of the Linman family, and the most outstanding person in the new generation, cannot be said to be both civil and military, but dare to fight and fight, have meticulous thinking and rigorous planning. They are all words that others praise him. Earl Linman, together with the other two counts, obeyed public opinion, and wanted to send someone to make peace with the company. Collins, who had been taken to Raccoon City, took the initiative to sign up.

Although I was very worried, Count Linman could not change the decision of his son, who was very interested. Anyway, he was going to release his goodwill this time, so there should be no big risk. When Corinth entered Raccoon City, he found that it had basically changed completely. The originally low and messy buildings had disappeared, and were replaced by small buildings with three-story and five-story buildings, the same style, the same decoration, and the same size. They were not made of wood, but made of a material that was not stone but very similar to stone.

The top was not built with various wooden boards, but a strange concave and concave stone piece. They didn't know that it was tiles. Xiaolin didn't like pure white-style buildings, and pure Chinese-style buildings were too complex and time-consuming to build, so he adopted the style of combining Chinese and Western in modern society. It looked like there was no literary atmosphere, but it was full of modern atmosphere. The unique style made Corinth look more comfortable, at least in an orderly manner.

The roads are not the mud roads of the past. The main roads are cement roads paved with cement. Because the construction period is too short, it can only reach the level of rural roads in the 21st century. Of course, in this era, even the company did not use trucks of more than five tons, so naturally they are not afraid of the cement road being crushed. Each branch road is a gravel road paved with gravel. If the soles are thin when you step on it, you may feel scattered, but at least it is much better than just a foot of mud and shit and urine.

Collins discovered that the people here had abandoned traditional European clothing. A small number of people were wearing a full suit and carrying a small leather handbag. Others were wearing small suit jackets from waiters. The shoes were canvas shoes that he didn't know at all, and were sports shoes made by the company themselves. Some people were wearing a full suit jean, which was strong and durable and quite convenient.

The envoys of Corinth passed through the gate of Raccoon City that had been left behind and could no longer move forward. After watching for a while, the two sides finally negotiated the next action arrangement. As the envoy, Corinth would take three entourages who were carrying precious treasures to the administrative building, and Xiao Lin was waiting for his arrival there. Most of the envoys would go to the place of residence together under the leadership of the company officials, and it is said that they were the best hotel in Raccoon City.

The people from the Pandy family of the Adams family who they escorted would be handed over to the company's troops for supervision. Because they had received the news long ago, in order to give them a warning, Xiaolin specially transferred the people from the personal guard regiment. As soon as the talks were made, a sound of neat footsteps came. Collins looked over the sound, and a team of soldiers with iron-blooded elite soldiers trotted over in unison. For many people in the envoys, this was the first time they had seen the company's army.

This is the top elite rank in the personal guard regiment, half white, half Indian, and a few are the latest Chinese. It seems that there are only two races, but in fact three. They are all wearing the Chinese Type 03 field special military uniforms. The 03 style was completely eliminated in the past few years. They are all very high-quality clothes, which is a pity to waste. In order to distinguish the personal guard regiment from ordinary troops, Xiao Lin purchased a batch to equip them.

Although Collins was curious about why it was not the legendary Hesse military uniform, he had to admit that the warriors in this military uniform were more heroic and handsome. There was a Type 56 submachine gun behind his back, and a formal Type 21 7-round 9.1mm caliber pistol hanging on his belt, which was imitated from the classic pistol Desert Ying (which is harmonious). The performance was about 75% and it was enough. Next to the pistol, there were a total of five grenades. Three blasting grenades, one flashing grenade and one smoke grenade. Except for the blasting grenade, which was bought by Xiao Lin, the rest were all produced by the company.

A pair of military boots looks thick and should be very comfortable. A helmet looks neither metal nor iron, but basically protects the brain. A pair of epaulettes looks like the finishing touch, which is very suitable. Between the shoulders and elbows, there are unique marks of the company, a musket and a hammer, representing the company's soldiers and working class, and are also the two pillars of the company. This is the pirated Chinese party flag, which has not yet been established, so I will talk about the future national flag.

This army was extremely efficient and simply and effectively took over the task of escorting the two families of people and walked away. There was no nonsense throughout the whole process. A Pandy family wanted to struggle when they broke away from Collins' control. They were caught by a soldier and fell over the shoulder, then pressed them on one knee, twisted them with one hand, which directly made them lose their power of resistance. Collins felt the absolute elite power from these people. This kind of aura was only seen in the Royal Guards of the British when he was a child. It was not the kind of etiquette guards, but the kind of guards composed of veterans in the war.

Corinth had no way to see more. The company's officials had already pulled them to the public carriage battle. As a qualified city, how could there be no public transportation? Buses and trams are impossible, but buses are still OK. The captured horses were gathered together, three large horses pulled a large carriage that could accommodate twenty-five people. Because of the scientific structure, shock-absorbing springs and rubber tires, three ordinary slow horses could pull.

Xiao Lin did not specially book a carriage, so he asked them to ride a car with ordinary people. The company officials had a bicycle, but they could not watch you ride a bicycle. Fortunately, because it was a government building, it was best to keep quiet around. Few civilians would take the first public carriage to the government building. However, some merchants would take the first route to the government building and then go to the first route to the government building.

Collins wanted to squeeze into the bus first, but was stopped by the officials. Even if he became an official, the company's officials could not take the bully car. The whole trip was 20 cents at a time, which was really a drop in the bucket for the salaries of civil servants in these companies. Collins was curious. Since there was no such privilege, why did they want to be officials? Everyone smiled and didn't say anything. The company implemented a high-paying policy, and being an official was really a little richer than doing business. The generous salary and a variety of benefits, and the people in the company were desperately trying to be officials. Besides, this is also a proof of their strong ability.

As the carriage slowly walked, Corinth also saw many scenery along the way. It was crowded here, and it was only eight o'clock in the morning, and everyone seemed to be racing against time. This was not something that anyone forced or was doing, but was really racing against time for profit. This kind of scene was basically impossible in the British colonies. People with backgrounds could get enough benefits even if they dragged on slowly. People without backgrounds could only get some food every day, and sometimes, they could not even get some food. Corinth could see everyone's expression, full of expectations for the future.

Everyone is confident and has a rosy complexion. At first glance, he is very fed and well-dressed. Collins has enough information in his hands, and he knows what he looked like before Raccoon City fell into the company. It was at its peak, less than one-fifth of what it is now. Collins kept marveling in his heart that the Yanhuang Trading Company was so terrible. The company is not an invader, but a conqueror. These two have different concepts and different styles of conduct.

The invaders can only burn, kill, loot, and no matter how strong they are, they can't stay for a long time. Because the invaders are not popular with the people, people obey on the surface, but they plan to resist and revolt in their hearts. No matter how many such people there are, Corinth is not worried, because one day, they will fight back and overthrow their notice with the cooperation of the people. Although the conquerors are still strong, they have discipline and will not infringe on civilians. They have policies that can make the civilians in the occupied areas live better and thus win their people's hearts.

With the hearts of the people, their rule will naturally last. If they want to counterattack, the British will no longer have their support. Even if they want to install some spies in it, they may be reported by the civilians.
