Chapter 312: Search
China is not a small country, and the navy of Rénia cannot treat Chinese freighters wantonly. They did get some reliable information and rushed over.
Colonel Merck, commander of the 2nd Patrol Detachment of the Navy of Rénia, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Chinese freighter not far away. Seeing that a great merit was about to be caught by himself, his nervous expression showed a smile.
The information about this illegal arms deal came from the French military intelligence bureau. The content of the intelligence is that the Chinese government and a certain military organization are going to conduct an illegal arms deal in the waters between Madagascar and Rénia. What is an illegal arms deal? It is an arms trade that is not authorized by the States of Rénia and Madagascar.
Colonel Merck believes that if he cracks this illegal arms deal, it will definitely be a great credit to him and it will be beneficial to his promotion. So, before he arrived, he tried to reassure his superiors that his sources of intelligence could be trusted.
Therefore, the superior of the Navy agreed that Merck would transfer all the warships of the Second Patrol Detachment of the Reunion Navy and hand them over to him to carry out the mission.
"Report sir, we have five minutes left to reach our goal. The captain of the Chinese freighter in front of us also allowed us to board the ship for inspection. However, they have repeatedly stressed that they are legal Chinese freighters and have not committed any illegal acts. ”
When Merck heard this, she was stunned and said, "What did the other party really say? Didn't they refuse us to board the ship?" Merck also thought that if the Chinese freighter refused to allow them to board the ship, they could also take some tough measures. When the time comes. It can also reveal some sinister faces of the Chinese side. Colonel Merck even had high-definition camera equipment ready. It is necessary to be in the war of international public opinion. Prepare some evidence in your favor.
Now the development of this script seems to be a little wrong......
Colonel Merck didn't know that he was used by the French government as a pawn to test the reality of Xinghua Island.
Although the activities of the intelligence agencies of various countries have stopped a lot because of Yi Xingchen's large-scale arrest and expulsion of spy agents. However, it is absolutely impossible to say that Yi Xingchen no longer has the attention of intelligence officers.
Yi Xingchen of Xinghua Distillery. Using the funds from the sale of space rings in Xinghua Mall, he purchased a Xinghua Island, and he built a large number of buildings, and purchased various large-scale equipment such as seawater desalination, just like building an independent territory, how could it not arouse the curiosity of the intelligence bureaus of other countries.
However, because of the mystery of Xinghua Mall, no country has taken action casually before understanding the details of Xinghua Mall.
Relatively weak, the Rénian military. It's a good place to be used.
Five minutes later, Colonel Merck looked at several of his soldiers. Boarding a Chinese freighter, a simple search was conducted, and nothing was found.
Colonel Merck was silent, he really didn't know what to say. Soon, Colonel Merck ordered the searching soldiers to apologize to the Chinese freighter.
After the search, the Huaguo freighter quickly left the waters near Xinghua Island.
Of course, Colonel Merck did not order the warship to leave the waters near Xinghua Island. Some abnormalities on Xinghua Island also attracted their attention.
"When did there ever be such a town on this island?" Merck wondered. He didn't remember a human settlement here.
"yes, I wonder if we patrolled a few months ago, and it's still a desert island. A subordinate, beside Merck, replied.
Merck thought to herself: Could it be a base of a military organization here? It seems that such a military organization is so between Madagascar and Rénia.
"Send a message to that small island informing them that we suspect illegal militants on the island and ask for a search. Merck said. Since there were no arms on the steamer of Huaguo, it was possible that the arms were on the island.
The subordinate sent a message and got a response very quickly.
"Report to the sir, the other party refused our search. And inform us that the island is a private domain and that the owner is a parliamentarian from the Kingdom of Rénia. ”
Merck was taken aback when she heard this, and asked, "Is the news confirmed?"
"We have sent confirmation messages to Madagascar and our country, and we have received a response, and the other party is not lying. This island has been sold by Madagascar and recognized by the government of Rénia. ”
Merck hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said: "Notify the island, just say that we respect the rights of the other party, but we have received information that there are a large number of illegal arms hidden on the island." In order to maintain the safety of the route between Madagascar and Rénia, we need to search the island. ”
"The other party asked us to take out a search warrant!"
"Without a search warrant, if they don't, our gunboats won't be welcome!" Merck said. Merck knew that if he said this, he might encounter some bad consequences. If he could not find the arms, he would certainly be reprimanded if the MP sued him. Now, he's looking forward to getting something out of it.
Yi Xingchen was very angry when he heard the unceremonious threatening words of the Reunion Navy. However, Xinghua Island had just been established, but there were no defensive weapons, and the buildings could not withstand the attack of warship shells.
"Have you moved all the arms over?" Yi Xingchen asked.
"All moved!" replied the emir.
"Okay, let's meet the navy of Reunion. Yi Xingchen's anger flashed.
Colonel Merck personally went out and led thirty naval soldiers ashore.
"Hello, I'm a member of the Parliament of Rénia, Yi Xingchen. Yi Xingchen was at the entrance of the city gate, and the first time he saw Colonel Merck, he introduced his identity to him.
When Colonel Merck heard this, he suddenly felt bad and said with a smile: "Hello, Councilor Yi, I am Colonel Merck of the Second Patrol Detachment of the Navy of Reunion, and I am ordered to investigate illegal militants. ”
Yi Xingchen sneered: "I don't have any illegal militants here, the security guards who have guns all have gun licenses from Rénia." Besides, this island is my territory, and you can't destroy every plant or tree here. Otherwise, I will lodge a protest with the Ministry of Defence of Rénia. ”
Colonel Merck didn't dare to say anything more, and said, "I am acting on orders, please cooperate." ”
Hearing this, Yi Xingchen smiled and got out of the way.
Navy soldiers, enter the town.
The entire island is only ten square kilometers in area, which is not very large.
Thirty naval soldiers, in ten minutes, is enough to search the island.
"Report to sir, no findings. ”
Colonel Merck heard the report of his subordinate soldiers expressionlessly, turned his head to Yi Xingchen and said, "Thank you very much for the cooperation of the councilor, our intelligence is wrong." ”
"Just say that, forget it?" Yi Xingchen pointed to Colonel Merck and said, "Although you may not know who I am, I tell you that I am not only a parliamentarian, but also a newspaper and a radio station in Rénia, and the scandal exposed by it makes you lose your position in the army, which is not a difficult thing." Now I want you to tell me who gave you the information. (To be continued......)
