Chapter 143: In the Maldives

But the black-faced ghost himself didn't think so, but angrily said to the red-faced ghost: "I don't want to listen to you, can you learn to shut up?"

"Okay, I won't speak......" The red-faced man shook his head and said no more.

"Anyway, we're at the helm of the Red Devils and that's a big takeaway. The black-faced ghost commanded word by word: "Keep an eye on Zhou Dayu and let him launder money, this kid is very slippery, I can't see it." ”

The red-faced ghost nodded hurriedly: "Got it." ”

Let's talk about Cang Hao's side.

The timing was just right, and after the successful interception of the Spear of Ares, there was a flight to the Maldives.

After arriving, Cang Hao changed boats and went to MalΓ©, found a hotel for a brief rest, and then changed his clothes and went to the beach.

Male is a small island and the smallest capital in the world, so small that it doesn't have its own airport, and the whole picture could fit in a single photo.

The Maldives airport is called MalΓ© International Airport, but in the north of MalΓ©, transportation is by boat or seaplane.

Therefore, it was a lot of toss to get to Male, and when Cang Hao arrived, the time agreed with Gross was almost up.

Cang Hao was wearing a pair of big flower shorts, a very ordinary T-shirt, and a straw hat, no different from ordinary tourists here.

But it's a little different, Cang Hao is wearing military boots on his feet, not travel shoes or slippers, which doesn't match this outfit a little bit.

However, no one looked at Cang Hao's feet, and he deliberately appeared to be very relaxed, and almost no one could notice anything unusual.

There was a not-so-big open-air bar by the sea, and Cang Hao saw Gross at a glance, he had already arrived, with an apple pie in front of him and a bottle of mineral water.

Seeing Cang Hao, Gross was very calm, and nodded with a smile: "Hello." ”

"Hello. Cang Hao sat down opposite Gross, and looked around with the corner of his eye, but found nothing unusual.

"I'm sorry, I haven't eaten yet......" Gross picked up a piece of apple pie with his fork and held it in front of him for a moment, "Don't mind if I eat something first?"

"Please!" Cang Hao nodded: "Eat while you have it, let's hurry up and eat!"

"Mr. Cang is so humorous. Gross put the apple pie in his mouth, chewed a few bites and nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes good, I didn't expect to be able to eat authentic apple pie here, but unfortunately due to religious reasons, alcohol is not sold here, otherwise it would be perfect." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say. ”

"The famous science fiction writer Carl Sagan once said: If you want to learn how to make an apple pie from scratch, you first have to invent the universe. After another bite of apple pie, Gross smiled and said, "What I want to tell you is that everything has an origin, and it would be tiring if you wanted to figure out these origins." Both the atoms that make up this apple pie and the molecules that make up our body have a very long history, the same age as the life span of the universe. We only have these molecules and atoms temporarily. And it just so happens that there are some molecules and atoms that form a very wonderful carbon crystal, and that is diamond. ”

Cang Hao smiled sarcastically: "It turns out that you are still a philosopher. ”

"I say this because you know that you have always thought that the Diamond Alliance deceived the public by selling worthless pebbles at a high price. However, the reason why diamonds can be sold at a high price can only be because of the market demand such as zΓ i, and the specific commercial means to determine the price are not important. Gross put down his fork, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth: "You don't have the ability and the need to figure this out!"

"You're only half right. Cang Hao sighed: "The reason why I am disgusted with you is also because you grabbed ill-gotten gains, bought diamonds from African warlords at a low price, and then sold them at a high price in the market. You have made money and left, leaving Africa with poverty, backwardness and instability. ”

"There is a sentence that you said to the point, we got the blood diamonds from the hands of the African warlords, which means that it is the warlords who really caused this qiΔ“. Smiling, Gross added: "Even if there is no Diamond Alliance, the warlords will sell the diamonds to others, and even if there are no diamonds, the warlords can get money from other sources to support themselves in waging wars." ”

"You're robber logic. Cang Hao said impatiently: "Others can shoot and kill, and set fire, so I can do the same." ”

But that's the way it is. Gross sighed: "You can't deny that this logic is valid. ”

"Without you, life for the people of Africa may not be better, but with you, it is much worse. ”

"It looks like we can't talk about going together. Gross shook his head helplessly: "Let's say something else." ”

Gross was dressed very casually today, just like Cang Hao, with a big flower T-shirt and shorts.

It's just that his gestures are still elegant, as if he is still wearing a suit.

Cang Hao looked around again: "Didn't those two of your subordinates come?"

"I want to talk to you alone. Sighing again, Gross continued: "It seems that we can't agree on values, so I sincerely hope to change YiqiΔ“ back to its original appearance, and you will continue to help us annihilate the Ghost King Party, and I will give up the original plan of Xintai Mining and officially cooperate with you and the Cao Group." ”

"What if you don't agree?" Cang Hao didn't wait for Gross to answer, and said, "I hate people playing with me the most, and you just did it!"

"If you don't ......agree," Gross's tone became a little regretful: "I'm sorry, you're going to pay a heavy price......"

"At what cost?"

"I don't know what you put in Cuifeng Village, but it should be very important, so the power consumption is so large. After a pause, Gross added, "How about you see me destroying the entire Cuifeng Village?"

Cang Hao smiled meaningfully: "How to destroy?"

"As a mercenary, you should know what an electromagnetic pulse weapon is, and if you launch such a weapon into space, you can basically attack anywhere in the world. Patting his forehead, Gross pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "By the way, I just remembered that you bought an Outer Atmosphere Interceptor Missile from General Aliyev. Yesterday, the missile was launched in South Africa, destroying a satellite launched from Baikonur. ”

Cang Hao nodded: "That's right." ”

"Let's talk about it, that satellite is not our ......," Gross pulled up a real-time surveillance screen showing a launch vehicle on the launch pad making final preparations for launch.

Cang Hao looked at the screen and asked thoughtfully, "This is it?"

"That's right. Gross smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, you are also very powerful, and you can even know that we are launching at Baikonur." However, you are not good enough to know that there have been two launches in Baikonur recently. The satellite you knocked out yesterday was not ours, today this is the real spear of Ares. ”

Without waiting for Cang Hao to speak, Cang Hao's mobile phone rang.

Cang Hao looked at Gross, picked up the phone, and threw a simple word: "Say!"

"It's me!" Aurora's voice came over the phone, "I don't think I'm in big trouble...... I knew that the Spear of Ares would be fired at Baikonur, but I didn't know that there were two launches at Baikonur, and there was another one today!"

Cang Hao said lightly: "Got it." ”

"This time today...... It could be the Spear of Ares. Taking a deep breath, Aurora's voice became more anxious: "I'm sorry, Canghao, I really didn't know it would be like this, I really didn't mean to......"

Cang Hao's voice was still very flat: "Got it." ”

"I'm sorry, Cang Hao, I'm really sorry......" apologized vigorously, and then Aurora said: "There is another troublesome thing, after the successful interception yesterday, I have been paying attention to the media." But there's no news at all, and no one seems to know that a satellite has exploded in space, and you know what that means?"

Cang Hao repeated: "What does it mean?"

"This satellite may have a lot of origin. Aurora smiled bitterly: "This time, we may really get into big trouble, not only is the spear of Ares still there, but the owner of the satellite will definitely settle accounts with us." ”

"It's nothing, I still have something to do here, hang up first. Cang Hao hung up the phone, looked at Gross, and smiled: "It's really yours!"

"The countdown to the launch has begun...... Gross continued to show the screen to Cang Hao: "You can't stop me from doing anything now, even if you kill me!"

As soon as the words fell, the launch vehicle emitted a puff of smoke, and then sprayed a violent wake, slowly rising from the launch frame, and then the speed became faster and faster, and quickly rose into the sky.

"The launch was successful. Gross smiled: "I'm really sorry for you, if you just agreed to my request for cooperation......"

Cang Hao hurriedly asked, "Will there be room for relaxation?"

"Of course not. Gross smiled proudly: "I'm just stalling for time, so that you can see the spear of Iris rise with your own eyes, in fact, even if I change my mind and don't want to deal with you, there is no way, because it is not me who controls the launch." Just now you asked why my two assistants didn't come, because the two of them were in Baikonur in charge of this launch. ”

"I see. ”

"At this point, I can let you know a little bit more, and while the two of them are my assistants, they are also responsible for ensuring that I can carry out the alliance's decisions accurately and quickly. This time, the alliance decided to teach you a good lesson, and there was nothing I could do to change the actions of the two of them. With a long breath, Gross said helplessly: "None of us are free!"

"You could have been free. ”

"No, I still want money...... Gross shook his head with a smile, "Do you know what is the happiest thing for me, which is to watch the wealth that belongs to me in this world grow every day, and what is freedom compared to it?"

"I'm different from you, I want freedom, I want money. Cang Hao said, arching his waist forward and closing the distance between him and Gross: "There is really no room for relaxation?"
