Chapter 714: Money Can Make Demons Grind
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.
Million??????? Pound sterling!
That's an astronomical amount! Enough to stun most of the world's people.
Lorenz was also a little dizzy by the smashing, this money is money that he can't earn in his life as a soldier! That's enough money to make it live a happy life. 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 you can't let a third person know about it! Therefore, when Lorenz saw the check, although he had already decided in his heart what he should do, his face remained silent. Instead, he began to take the roll call in a still stern pretense.
"Zhao-long-gun!" Lorenz read it a little crappily, and the pronunciation was a little weird.
"Yes." 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 State M couldn't understand the dialect of Zhao Yushan's 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!" Then he continued: "Wang Jian! The phrase was relatively simple, and Lorenz pronounced it relatively quickly.
"Grandpa is here!" Wang Jian roared like Zhao Yushan. 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!" Did you mean it? ”
Li Jian was stunned, not knowing what Zhao Yushan meant, and asked blankly, "Brother Shan, what's wrong?" I learned it from you. ”
"You fucking bastard, he called my name, I said Lao Tzu was there, he called your name, you said grandpa was there. Co-author, I still have to call you Lao Tzu? Didn't you make it clear that you were 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 Lorenzi's movements were hidden and hidden from the soldiers of country M beside him, but they were 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.
"Looks like 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 sternly, "Who are you?" Why didn't you just come here to meet! ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Major, but I'm the owner of this ship, not the crew, and your order just now is for all the crew to assemble." Stephen said without humility.
"Oh, so it seems?" The Major thought for a moment and muttered. 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 rosters just now?" This roster is pretty beautiful, isn't it? ”
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 company Weston Shipping. Lorenz said.
"I am an investor in Westen Shipping. Here's my business card with my profile on it. These are the boat's accompanying boat texts. 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.
Corruption is skillful, if the "Seawolf" is fine, or just a small problem, 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 do business, 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 military departments of country M, in order to prove that he is honest and honest, and he is dedicated to the public.
So, Lorenz must figure out Stephen's true identity.
Of course, Stephen saw Lorenz's suspicions, so he said casually: "My father is Camedy from Canada?" Stephen. 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, 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 from 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?" Lorenz said to the soldiers behind him that he was sending a signal to his brothers, meaning to tell them that the ship would be fine, just search so-so.
"Yes! Major! The GIs said yes 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 the general 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 finally let go of his hanging heart one by one. 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.
