Chapter 324: Not leaving? Then don't leave!
After tasting the dishes prepared by Chef John, Zhang Ailun was generous in praising his cooking skills. After all, he couldn't just scold the chef right after eating.
Gwen was very satisfied with the chief's feedback. She cleaned up the dishes and happily went to tell the other party the news.
After resting in the villa for a while, Madison sent a message. Zhang Allen opened it and found that it was discussing with him when to leave for Lavisgas to attend the banquet.
Zhang Ailun: I am still on Jehovah Island. I just dealt with some troubles. You can't imagine what I have been through, but it should be good news for you. When Prian owned this island, there were at least 60 monitoring devices all over the island, even in the rooms of the mansion.
Madison: Really? That's great news, hahahaha. This guy deserves his fate. He doesn't care about personal privacy and information security at all. Even if we didn't do anything to him, he would get into trouble sooner or later because his privacy was exposed. By then, there would be so many scandals involved. It would be hard for him to survive! We have done a good thing now. We helped him step down in advance and saved his life.
Zhang Ailun: The party in Las Vegas won't start until the evening, so there's no need to rush over. You can first take a plane to come to my place and have a cup of tea. I guess you haven't been to Jehovah Island yet?
Madison: Why don't you change the name to Hamburg Island? Actually, this is not the first time I have been to Jehovah Island, but it was many years ago, in the 1990s.
Zhang Ailun: The name has no meaning, maybe it can remind me of the failures?
Madison: You make sense! Yesterday I asked someone to paint a picture of Priam in oil and framed it in my private museum. I was originally worried about what to name it, whether to call it "The Cage" or "The Sleeping Man". As for now, you have given me an inspiration, so why not call it "The Quiet Jehovah"!
Zhang Ailun: …
This old man is quite good at this.
You have made the other person suffer like that, and yet you still won't let go.
Be quiet, how can you not be quiet? You've become a vegetable.
If he suddenly becomes restless one day, you will definitely not be able to sleep again.
After chatting with him for a few more sentences, they agreed to have Lao Deng fly to the island as a visitor in his private plane, and to let him visit his warship at the same time.
Madison also gladly accepted and agreed.
He took a short break and closed his eyes to relax. Not long after, the chief received another reminder from the security team in the harbor area. The landline phone on the table and the intercom next to it rang at the same time.
Zhang Ailun picked up the wired microphone on the table, which was quite in the style of the last century, and asked, "What's the matter?"
He didn't know why Jehovah still used this antique. Maybe people would become nostalgic as they get older.
"Boss, a merchant ship from Venezuela is approaching the island bay. They said that the supplies on the ship are not enough, so they want to stay here for one night and replenish food and fuel. As a reward, they can pay the fees." said the mercenary.
Zhang Ailun perked up and asked, "How many of them are there in total? Are they armed?"
"There are a total of 37 people on their boat, including the elderly, women and children. They only carry the small-caliber firepower allowed and pose no threat to us," said the mercenary.
"Is this the style of Venezuelan merchant ships? What kind of merchant ship would carry the elderly and children? What kind of shipping business are they doing? Human trade?" Zhang Ailun sneered.
"It's the smuggling business, boss."
The mercenary reminded, "There are countless black ships passing through our route, and our island is the only transit point nearby. They have to deal with us. In the past, Prian would allow such ships to stay overnight in the harbor area and collect a generous 'toll'. He also got to know many people engaged in the gray industry because of this."
"We checked it out too. Their main business is shipping trade, and their sideline is helping people ship goods to the West Coast. The goods they sell are knitwear from small workshops, sugar cane, some tea, bananas, cocoa, apples, and so on. There's a wide variety of everything."
"I'm not Jehovah. I don't like making friends with people I don't know well. If they are willing to pay the 'toll', I will certainly accept it, but I can't guarantee their safety after they go out to sea. Priam knows so many people, but in the end, no one can help him, right? In the end, they even abandoned him because they were down, fearing that they would have anything to do with him."
Zhang Ailun thought about it and felt that he seemed to have underestimated the geographical advantages of Jehovah Island and the correctness of American equipment in marginal politics!
He has warships, people, guns, cannons, air superiority, and territorial waters. What is he afraid of?
The ones who should be afraid are those who engage in the gray market of smuggling, shipping and drug trafficking!
If your fist is not strong enough, you will be like a typical person squatting in the toilet without taking a shit. Anyone who sees you will want to step on you, and you will also face endless harassment from flies.
If your fist is strong enough, you will be like an emperor sitting on a golden toilet! Anyone who comes here must pay their respects first.
If you don't pay the toll, does that mean they don't want your goods anymore?
Do you still want to go this route? If you have the ability, go for air transport! Never go for sea transport!
I helped you replenish your supplies with good intentions, but not only are you not grateful, but you also slander me for extortion and robbery?
So brave!!
You'd better think it over before you speak!
It seems that the leader has wronged them. This is such a great Venezuelan merchant ship that delivers goods to their doorstep!
Asked: "Didn't they see our warships?"
"Our littoral combat ship at South Port has already sailed out. Captain Spike told Captain Chibatu that he would take people to the nearby waters to familiarize themselves with the operation of the warship. Their merchant ships also landed at South Port. They should not have encountered the destroyers at North Port yet. After all, our island is quite large." said the mercenary.
Isn't it a coincidence that he was caught up in the time difference?
If they had arrived a few minutes earlier and seen the warships in Nangang, they would definitely not have dared to stay here.
Of course, the chief leader knew what this Venezuelan merchant ship was planning. Wasn't it that it had bad intentions and was trying to install monitoring equipment on the island?
However, the chief leader was a little surprised that the other party actually brought women and children with him when he went out, trying to get away with it?
If the leader had not seen through their tricks long ago, most people would have let down their guard.
If it were Prian, he might not be interested in the women and children, but he would definitely try the men. There would have to be a few more monitoring devices on Jehovah's Island.
Zhang Ailun directly replied to the security team and asked them to tell the other party, "Ships can dock in the harbor, but people are not allowed to go to the island."
The mercenary conveyed the chief's intention and soon sent back another message, "Boss, the other party said they will abide by the island's rules. Men can stay on the ship, but can women go on the island?"
"Are those women beautiful?"
Zhang Allen asked.
The mercenary hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding what the leader meant. Could it be that the new waitress on our island is not to your liking?
Holding the intercom, he glanced at the women on the small ship in the harbor bay and answered honestly, "Boss, they are pretty good looking."
"Since you know they are good-looking, you should understand that some people have bad intentions. Letting them go to the island will only bring unnecessary trouble!"
Zhang Ailun immediately scolded him, "Do you think I care whether they are really beautiful? If they are not beautiful, I might consider letting them come to the island. Since they are so beautiful, why do they come to the island? To get you drunk? To dance with you at a bonfire party? Or to exchange liquids? To persuade you?"
"Let them stay on the ship and exchange them for supplies if they need anything!"
"I understand!" The mercenary's scalp was numb. He could hear the leader's dissatisfaction and immediately and decisively rejected the other party's request.
The head of the Venezuelan merchant ship was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that their tried-and-true approach would hit a wall here. It seems that the new island owner is a smart guy who is not easy to mess with.
He immediately led his men back to the cabin in disgrace, contacted the people on the other side, and had a secret communication. In the end, he decided to try again. The person in charge came to the coast in a small boat, and handed over a pack of cigarettes with a humble smile on his face.
The mercenary on guard was also a little annoyed, and said unhappily: "Can you be honest? Didn't you hear what we said? Go to your ship! Don't think that just because we are legal mercenaries, you can challenge our dignity again and again! This is a private island!!"
"We can offer double the price. Can you arrange for the elderly and children to go to the island?" The person in charge took out the money.
What? Bribe us?
I tell you! It doesn't work!
There are cameras everywhere. If I dare to take any action today, I will have to pack up and leave the island tonight.
"Why do you want to come to our island so much? I'm afraid you don't have any good intentions." The mercenary said coldly: "Get out of here now!!"
The people next to them also pulled out their guns, loaded the bullets with two clicks, and pointed the guns directly at them, determined to make them bleed!
Seeing that the situation was tense, the Beggar Gang disciples nearby immediately tried to stop the fight.
Don't fight, don't fight! Don't let anyone get killed here. There are dozens of people on this boat, and there are so many innocent people watching.
Don't fight! You can't sink this merchant ship with those broken M4s! You have to use rocket launchers! !
The Beggars' Sect disciples immediately informed the chief leader of the news.
The chief leader received the news and was also shocked by their shamelessness.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone come to ask for death.
"Since they refuse to give up, let's invite them to the island. After they come up, send someone to board the ship and seize it for me! Don't let anyone escape!! Don't let any cargo get lost!" Zhang Ailun emphasized.
If there is a road to heaven, you don't take it; if there is no door to hell, you just go to it.
Not leaving, right?
Then just don't leave!!
"Understood." After receiving the news, the Beggar Gang disciples immediately notified the mercenaries at the port and conveyed the news to them.
The security personnel were also a little surprised when they heard the order from the chief leader. After confirming it again and again, they had no choice but to put away their guns and let the people in.
The person in charge of the merchant ship was laughing so happily, he went back in the boat happily, called a group of people on the cargo ship, and they came to the coast one by one in kayaks and boats to land.
The security team was also confused by the chief leader's changing orders. Didn't he not let anyone in? Why did he suddenly let them in?
The Beggar Gang disciples pulled them aside and told them another order from the chief. Then they suddenly realized what was going on and immediately began to cooperate.
He took out the walkie-talkie and called the nearest checkpoint sentry over, and also drove over a military pickup truck equipped with a machine gun.
When all the crew members of the merchant ship from Venezuela went ashore, they expressed their gratitude to the Beggars' Sect disciples, but they did not know that the real danger was already approaching them.
The person in charge looked back inadvertently and saw several mercenaries carrying guns and approaching the merchant ship in a small boat. They boarded the ship directly and announced that the supplies had changed hands.
The person in charge was a little confused at the moment, "Wait, what are you doing on the ship? Haven't we already checked it?"
Ta-da! Ta-da!
Suddenly, gunshots were heard nearby, startling everyone present.
Looking back, I saw several mercenaries rushing over at lightning speed in a pickup truck. The people in the car fired shots into the air with their weapons. They braked suddenly and stopped on the side of the road. After getting out of the car, they surrounded the dozens of people present with guns and intimidated them with force.
"Put down your weapons!!"
The Beggars' Sect disciples were also confused. They came so quickly? He had just notified the people at the checkpoint...
After taking a closer look, I realized that they were the people from the signal tower and the computer room.
The people on the merchant ship looked at each other in bewilderment. Faced with the threat of the mercenaries' large-caliber firepower, they finally handed over their pistols obediently.
"What are you doing? We just want to resupply here. We haven't done anything else. It's unreasonable for you to do this! It's illegal!!" The person in charge came back to his senses, his expression was nervous and cold sweat was pouring down.
"It's hilarious that smugglers say others are breaking the law. We are mercenaries. We are paid to do the job. We don't care whether it is illegal or not!"
The mercenary sneered: "You can call me Black Panther. I am the deputy captain of the security team of Jehovah Island. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly! Tell me yourself, are you here to plant spy equipment or to resupply supplies?"
"Speak!" He pointed the gun directly at his head with a ferocious look.
The person in charge finally couldn't hold it anymore and quickly admitted: "We are indeed engaged in smuggling business. We want to reach a cooperation with you so that we can have frequent exchanges in the future."
"You bastards, why don't you tell the truth!! You didn't expect that we had already replaced the new equipment? As soon as you bastards came ashore, the computers in my signal tower room almost exploded!!"
Black Panther pulled out an iPad from his arms, thrust it fiercely in his face and asked, "What is this? It's the source of the opposite sex signals on you! What is this if not a monitoring device? Is this your kidney stone?"
The person in charge's mind went blank.
They stared in amazement at the red exclamation marks displayed on it. There were more than a dozen of them clustered together, and they were actually on them.
"This, this, this... Who put the monitoring device on us?" The person in charge stammered, at a loss.
"Now you admit that it was your monitoring device!!" Black Panther roared.
"Fxxk you! You all deserve to die!" Black Panther was filled with murderous intent, and he wished he could just pick up his gun and shoot them all.
I was ordered around the island today and my legs are so weak.
A total of 32 acres of land!
Dozens of people drove over mountains and across rivers, from east to west, from south to north. The boss opened his mouth and the younger brothers ran to pieces. The tires of the military vehicles were so tired that they were smoking!
I finally removed all the monitoring equipment and can breathe a sigh of relief. You come again?
good good!
If I don't beat you till you piss blood today, then that white wolf son is yours!
