Chapter 714: Money Can Make Demons Grind
(Read more)
Lorenz was surprised to find that there was a Swiss bank cheque in the seafarers' roster, and the "1" at the front looked like a mighty and majestic general, leading a series of zeros behind, and Lorenz was a little dazzled to see it.
The international counting method is customary to separate every three digits with commas, so Lorenz didn't stare at the long string of zeros, but only took a cursory look at how much it was.
Twenty million? pounds!
That's an astronomical amount that's enough to stun most of the world.
Lorenz was also a little dizzy, but this money was money that he could not earn in his life as a soldier! With this money, he can choose to retire and buy a big farm, hire many workers, and become a leisurely farmer, he can do all kinds of things on his farm. From now on, I don't have to listen to the dead fat lieutenant colonel all day long, and I don't have to salute in front of him. Fuck, I'm already tired of him.
But no third person is allowed to know about such a thing!, therefore, when Lorenz saw the check, although he had already decided what he should do, his face remained unmoved. Instead, he began to take the roll call in a still stern pretense.
"Zhao-long-gun!" Lorenz said in a somewhat lame voice.
"In. Zhao Changshu agreed flatly.
"Zhao-jade-mountain," Lorenz read the next one.
"Lao Tzu is here!" Zhao Yushan shouted loudly. provoked a burst of laughter from the brothers around him.
The soldiers of country M couldn't understand the dialect of Zhao Yushan, Huaguo Linhe Province, and they didn't know what Zhao Yushan and the others were laughing at. Just glared at him and shouted, "Give me silence!" and then continued: "Wang Jian!" The phrase was relatively simple, and Lorenz read it relatively quickly.
"Grandpa is here!" Wang Jian roared as Zhao Yushan looked. There was another burst of laughter around him. This time, the soldiers of country M did not stare again, they understood that the Chinese had to answer like this by name, and it would be disrespectful to the guests not to answer like this. Uncle Sam's Ah Q spirit is only stronger than that of the Chinese.
Zhao Yushan turned his head to look at Wang Jian beside him, gritted his teeth and whispered, "You kid bastard!
Li Jian was stunned, not knowing what Zhao Yushan meant, and asked blankly: "Brother Shan, what's wrong? I learned from you." ”
"You fucking bastard, he called my name, I said Lao Tzu was there, he called your name, you said grandpa was there. I still have to call you Lao Tzu, aren't you taking advantage of me?" Zhao Yushan glared at him and said.
Wang Jian scratched his head vigorously, and after thinking about it for a while, it was really like this. Alas, just now I just thought about bullying the soldiers of country M who don't understand Chinese, and I was a little cheap to talk about it, but I didn't expect to get Brother Shan in.
While the two were muttering, Lorenz read the roster all the way. What made Zhao Yushan depressed was that when the next brothers were named, they all replied "Grandpa is here!" Shengsheng lowered his "Lao Tzu Zai" for a generation.
Lorenz took advantage of the roll call to quietly roll the check in the roster into the palm of his right hand, although Lorenz's movements were hidden and concealed from the soldiers of country M beside him, but he was caught by Zhao Changlan. Zhao Changshu keenly spotted a large string of zeros on the check. He couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, who put this check in the roster, intending to bribe Lorenz?
After Lorenz finished the roll call, he pretended to close the roster, and asked Zhao Changshu with a cold face: "Why are the seafarers on this ship all Chinese?"
Zhao Changshu just wanted to answer, but he heard a crisp voice from behind him: "I'll answer this question." ”
Zhao Changshu looked back and saw that it was Stephen who spoke. He could clearly see Stephen's eyes blink at him as he walked towards the crowd. Zhao Changshu immediately understood that the check must have been put on the roster by Stephen.
"It seems that I owe her a favor again?" Zhao Changshu thought helplessly.
Lorenz also set her eyes on Stephen, and when he saw Stephen walking towards him, his eyes suddenly sparkled like light bulbs.
Stephen was so beautiful that she could hardly find any flaws on her body, with a duck egg face and a small and delicate mouth, which was by no means as thick and large as the mouth of an ordinary black woman. As for her black skin, that's exactly the skin tone Lorenz likes. In his eyes, there is no woman of any race in the world who is more beautiful and tasteful than a black person.
Lorenz turned out to be a little out of shape, and her eyes were staring at Stephen's body and she couldn't extricate herself. In fact, not only Lorenz, but even the other soldiers of Country M stared at Stephen and did not relax.
Lorenz was a naval lieutenant after all, but he quickly realized his gaffe, so he immediately said to Stephen solemnly: "Who are you? Why didn't you come here to assemble just now!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Major, but I am the owner of this ship, not the crew, and your order was to assemble all the crew. Stephen said without humility.
"Oh, so it sees?" muttered the Major after a moment's thought. He just wanted to make it difficult for Stephen to ask a few more questions, but saw Stephen smile and said to him, "Oh, have you read all the roster just now?
Stephen deliberately accentuated the word "roster". Lorenz immediately understood what Stephen meant, and it seemed that the check was given to him by the girl in front of him.
"Are you really the owner of the Seawolf? As far as I know, the Seawolf is a ship of the Canadian Westland Marine Company. Lorenz said.
"I am an investor in Westen Shipping. Here's my business card with my profile on it. These are the shipboard documents. Stephen handed Lorenz a beautifully printed electronic business card. Then he handed several more documents to Lorenz. These documents include the ship's nationality certificate, the ship's ownership certificate, and so on.
Lorenz carefully read the business card, and Stephen's identity was clearly introduced in the business card. But Lorenz's doubts were not dispelled, after all, Stephen was too young. It's amazing to have such a result at such a young age.
Lorenz liked the check, but he also knew that if he was court-martial for dereliction of duty, he would not have the life to spend it even if he had more money.
** is skillful, if the "Seawolf" is fine, or just some minor problems, Lorenz can put away the check with peace of mind, and then release the "Seawolf", but if the "Seawolf" has a big problem, such as hiding arms and other contraband, he must be official, of course, he can't ask for the check, but he will not return it to Stephen, he will hand it over to the relevant departments of the M** party, in order to prove his integrity and integrity, dedicated to the public.
So, Lorenz must figure out Stephen's true identity.
Stephen, of course, saw Lorenz's suspicions, so he casually said, "My father is Camadi Stephen from Canada. He's a celebrity, and your intelligence should have information about him. ”
Lorenz nodded and didn't speak, but gestured to one of his men. A soldier from country M immediately took out a terminal device, quickly edited a message and sent it, presumably in contact with their intelligence department.
Soon the intelligence department replied, and the GI delivered the terminal to Lorenz, who glanced at it with a hint of surprise on his face. Then he looked up and said to Stephen, "Disrespectful, disrespectful." It turned out to be Miss Stephen. ”
Lawrenz said as he stretched out his hand to Stephen, who held Lawrenz's hand and shook it lightly a few times, giggling and said, "Now Your Excellency Major doesn't doubt my identity?"
"Of course not. Still, you know, Miss Stephen. We are also performing the above task, so the check still needs to be checked. Lorenz said, subconsciously glancing at his right hand. He felt an indescribable sense of comfort in the hand that had just been held with Stephen's little hand.
"Of course. Please, Your Excellency Major. Stephen said generously, then turned to Zhao Lance and said, "Mister Zhao, let all the cabins be opened." ”
"Yes! Miss Stephen. Zhao Changlan straightened his waist and said happily. At this moment, Stephen has become the protagonist, and if he wants to get by, Zhao Changshu must cooperate with Stephen well.
Several brothers of the Poison Dragon Society hurriedly went to open the cabins one by one, waiting for the inspection of the soldiers of country M.
"Keep your eyes open and watch carefully, and be careful not to destroy the ship's things, do you hear?" said Lorenz to the soldiers behind him, as he was sending a signal to his brothers that the ship would be fine, just a so-so search.
"Yes, Major!" the GIs agreed, and walked into the cabin after Lorenz.
In fact, Lorenz was indeed reassured by the ship. Killing him would not have believed that the daughter of a member of the Canadian parliament would do something out of the ordinary. As for why the seafarers on the ship are all Chinese, there is no need to explain this, are there any seafarers in the world who are more hard-working and hard-working and have low remuneration than Chinese?
Zhao Changshu and General Jiang and others accompanied the soldiers of country M to search together, and after seeing the search method of the soldiers of country M, Zhao Changshu's hanging heart finally let go. The GIs of country M did not search each cabin at all, let alone open and inspect each container. It was only after a few random checks on the containers that they were indeed filled with grain, so they stopped checking them. Directly left with his soldiers.
When a crisis finally passed, the Seawolf set sail again, its diamond-shaped bow splitting through the blue sea like an arrow, heading straight for Pico Island.
Zhao Changshu and Stephen stood on one side of the deck on the side of the ship, looking at the cruiser that was getting farther and farther away from the "Seawolf".
Zhao Changshu sighed a little, many things in the world seem to be predestined, on Rosoff's luxury yacht, if he hadn't accidentally risen up and forced Stephen to take her as a hostage, Stephen would not have become his apprentice in the end, then today's things would be dangerous.
"Thank you, Stephen. If it weren't for you today, things would be in trouble. I'll pay you back right away. Zhao Changshu said to Stephen sincerely.
