Chapter 667: A Bunch of Cheap Bones
When the news of a large number of pirates attacking Zhuang Haiyang and his party spread on the island of Liou, the Merina government was naturally extremely angry and worried. But they knew very well that in the face of the threat of piracy, they had extremely limited troops and ships to deploy.
The total strength of the navy is only about 1,000, and the tonnage of ships is even less pitiful. In addition to coastal patrol defense, Merina's naval combat effectiveness may only be able to deal with pirates, and if you want to crack down on pirates, you can only stay on slogans.
When the government learned that the navy reacted immediately and the situation was still under control, Merina's current president, Ekby, immediately ordered the army to send the only three helicopter gunships to reinforce it.
It's just that what he never expected was that before the army took action, he received a call from his subordinates, informing him that Zhuang Haiyang and his party were safe and sound. On the navy side, all the pirates who landed on the island have been wiped out, and many pirates who have surrendered have even been captured.
"What? Didn't you say hundreds of pirates, how could the navy be so fast?"
The official who reported the situation said in a slight voice: "Mr. President, this time the pirates attacked Mr. Zhuang and his party, but I am afraid that the situation behind the scenes is not simple. In addition to these pirates, the corpses of foreign mercenaries also occurred on the island.
According to Colonel Jonah of the Navy Guard, this time they were able to wipe out all the pirates, thanks to the bodyguards brought by Mr. Zhuang. As a matter of fact, before Mr. Zhuang visited the island today, he hired security personnel to go to the island to guard him. ”
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Ekeby finally said: "Wait for Mr. Zhuang and his party to come back, let Colonel Jonah of the escort come to see me! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Ekby, who hung up the phone, remembered what his subordinates had reported earlier, and said with a little emotion: "This village is really not simple! When this news spreads, I believe many people can't sit still! Some people have indeed gone too far!"
The pirates and mercenaries failed, and someone was responsible. As far as Ekby is concerned, as president, he naturally does not want too many spokesmen in the government.
In that case, it will undoubtedly interfere with his administration. But as the president of Molina, he knows better than anyone that Merina's military and national strength dare not do anything to take sides. More often than not, only with the mud bar!
At least judging from the current situation, selling the island of Riu to Zhuang Haiyang can indeed bring a lot of benefits to Merina. And according to the previous investigation, he is looking forward to Zhuang Haiyang to develop Rio Island.
If the island of Ríou can make a name for itself in the world, then Merina will also benefit from it. The most important thing is that once the island of Riou is developed, it is believed that Merina will also reap a lot of benefits and provide more employment opportunities.
What really made Ecoby decide to sell the island was that he understood the Oriental way of doing things. Unlike other investments or aids, which come with strings attached, this sale of the island does not come with any political demands.
It's better to sell the island than to sell the country, right?
Regarding the turmoil that occurred in the capital, Zhuang Haiyang, who is still staying on Riu Island, is naturally unclear. Even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything. At this time, it is the wisest choice to leave the matter to the Merina government.
Just after the pirates reached a stalemate with the guards commanded by Jonah and dealt with the pirates who remained at the docks, Januk led the foreign security team and Hong Wei led the national security team to launch a surprise attack directly from behind the pirates.
Under a round of attacks, the pirates who were surrounded chose to surrender very happily. During the surrender, there were also pirates who tried to escape. It turned out that it was clear how it was possible to escape under the aim of snipers who had been deployed in advance?
The danger is lifted, and the surviving pirates, depressed, are taken into custody by Jonah's men. Even during the detention, these soldiers were angry and beat up several dishonest pirates with the butts of their guns.
For this kind of beating, don't say that Jonah pretended not to see it, the rest of the officials are not like this. Except for those officials with ghosts in their hearts, I believe that no one will have any good feelings for pirates.
Even these officials, seeing that the pirate leader had surrendered, were eager to immediately draw their guns and shoot him. They were worried that if the pirate leader leaked them, the outcome that awaited them would not be too good.
It's a pity, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Colonel Jona, I am very grateful to your subordinates for fighting bravely, and the attacking pirates successfully killed and captured them. It's just that I'm curious about why these pirates know I'm coming to inspect today.
If nothing else, someone must have tipped off the pirates. Unfortunately, those mercenaries have been wiped out by my guards, and I don't know that they were hired by a request. But I believe that there must be someone who is in cahoots with them.
In my opinion, this kind of collusion with foreign mercenaries and pirates to try to kidnap and assassinate me must be investigated. If you can't find out, then I'll find out these people in my own way.
I'm sure you all should know that I dare to invest a lot of money in the island of Rio, and I don't mind spending money on mercenaries. Compared to the money I invested in the development and construction of Rio Island, I believe that the money to hire a few professional mercenaries should be cheaper, right?"
With Zhuang Haiyang saying this, I believe that after the word spreads, those who want to fight him will also have to consider the consequences of being killed. People who are willing to work for money are still easy to find.
When a billionaire is worth billions of dollars, he says that he wants to offer a reward, and I believe that many people are willing to die for him. Even the officials who had ghosts in their hearts looked at Zhuang Haiyang with a little more fear.
When such a thing happens, the inspection trip can only be hastily concluded. When the reinforced naval forces arrived, Zhuang Haiyang and his party also returned to the dock. And Zhuang Haiyang said very directly: "Colonel Jona, I need to go back to the capital first!"
"I'm sorry, sir, please give us a moment, and we'll take care of it. ”
"Of course, I have great confidence in your abilities, and my security captain will be in touch with you if you need anything. ”
introduced Hong Wei, who had been hiding behind the scenes, directly to Jonah. In fact, the two had already known each other during previous expeditions. Doing so now is nothing more than making the relationship more formal and not causing trouble for Jonah.
On the other hand, the foreign security team led by Janok returned to the capital with Zhuang Haiyang. In the future, they will also stay in Merina and Riou as employees dispatched by the security company to escort the construction of the islands.
I have to say that for some officials in Merina, it seems to be more humble when facing Januk and others. On the contrary, in front of Hong Wei and other team members, they still seemed a little arrogant.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang also sneered in his heart: "It's really a bunch of cheap bones!"
Even if he was very unhappy, Zhuang Haiyang also knew that Merina had also been colonized by European forces in his early years. For these Merina officials, they were more afraid of these European-faced people than the Orientals in Asia.
The only thing that surprised the accompanying inspection officials was that Zhuang Haiyang's subordinates actually had Europeans and Americans working for him. However, they will not know that in the near future, even black people will be in the security ranks.
The newly established Sharp Blade International Security Company will have Hong Wei as the general person in charge of the company and the commander of the security personnel in Huaguo. Januk, on the other hand, will serve as the vice president of the security company, and even serve as part of the future ranch management.
As long as the security company is on the right track, Januk's focus will still be on managing this large ranch. Regarding this work arrangement, Jenuk also felt that Zhuang Haiyang was very considerate of him.
After all, his age is greater than Hong's, and if he really wants to charge into battle, there is still a bit of a problem in terms of physical strength and energy. If something happens, I believe his family will also be very sad.
Why go to the adventurous security guard or even a mercenary with a stable and enviable job?
In the future, Zhuang Haiyang should pick two or three people to check and balance each other. And the core and most mysterious of them may be handed over to the mercenary captain who has been secretly transferred to control by the security team.
Before that, Zhuang Haiyang had to arrange someone to take the other party's family members to live on Nanzhou Island. If the other party agrees, you can even arrange for them to live in a community with more foreigners, so that they can adapt to life in China as soon as possible.
As long as his family members are arranged to go to China, I believe there will not be too many organizations that can find news of his family members. After all, Huaguo is a well-known forbidden place for mercenaries, and if you want to spread wild in Huaguo, you also have to consider the consequences.
When Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage returned to the capital dock, to the surprise of the accompanying officials, the king's eldest son, the first heir of the royal family, actually greeted him at the pier in person and apologized on behalf of the royal family.
In this way, the accompanying officials realized that the royal family seemed to be becoming more and more active with the arrival of Zhuang Haiyang. It's easy to understand why the royal family would do this. After all, who made Zhuang Haiyang rich?
The most important thing is that Zhuang Haiyang seems to have a good relationship with the old king. Coupled with the education charity fund that has just announced its cooperation with the royal family, it is not difficult to understand that the royal family attaches so much importance to the friendship with Zhuang Haiyang.
In the face of the condolences of the eldest son of the royal family, Zhuang Haiyang also praised Colonel Jonah and his party. Hearing that Zhuang Haiyang was doing his best, Colonel Jonah was also very happy in his heart, and felt that this should be no problem for him to be reinstated and raised.
What surprised him even more was that Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Your Royal Highness, please also provide the best medical assistance to Colonel Jona's subordinates." I will pay in full for the treatment these soldiers need.
If it weren't for their heroic fight against the pirates today, I am afraid that it would not be so easy for me to get out smoothly. When this matter is investigated, I will personally express my gratitude to Colonel Jonah's Navy Guard!"
The so-called thanks, many people can guess, if nothing else, it must be money again. While lamenting that Zhuang Haiyang was rich, the accompanying officials felt that they actually hoped that someone could use the money to stun them!
