Chapter 26: The Succession Struggle (20)

When the police showed up on the beach, they were already small black spots in our eyes. The speedboat was very fast, and it drove all the way to the middle of the sea, and after about half an hour of rapid driving, a large ship with a Russian flag appeared on the sea in front of it.

Our speedboat drove straight towards the ship, and when we reached the side of the big ship, it was obvious to the people on top who we were and were ready. Without asking, they quickly lowered the soft ladder and the hanging ladder that could be raised and lowered, like the one used for cleaning the outside of the building.

We put Ramzanlukovic and Zhao Yi on the suspension ladder, they were all injured, if we climbed such a straight soft ladder, it is probably not possible, while the rest of us climbed up the soft ladder one after another.

When we arrived at the ship, the men on board quickly picked up the wounded and treated them for their injuries, while someone artificially threw a new set of clothes for one of us. Rebic took his clothes and said as he changed: "Put on our clothes, we will be seafarers of the shipping company." Ha ha. ”

I looked at the ship, and it was a freighter. At this moment the ship has begun to gradually accelerate in the direction of the east, and it seems that as Rebic said, we will pass through Constantinople, which was once the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and now the Bosphorus outside Istanbul, Turkey, into the Caspian Sea and back to Ukraine.

"Will the gang continue to chase after them?" I asked, looking at Rebic.

Rebic looked at me and said, "You mean the cops or the guys in the hotel?" ”

"Both." I said, "Does this make a difference to us?" One made me lose a few people in the hotel, and the other almost wrecked our car on the highway. In my opinion, they are all a great threat to us. “

"Not anymore." Rebic said and pointed to the Russian flag flying on the ship, "See? Although this is not as powerful as it was in the former Soviet Union, it is enough to scare and scare these people. ”

I nodded and didn't say anything more. Since he's so confident, what else can I say? But it's true, no matter how bad Russia is, it's not something that anyone can mess with.

The people on the big boat quickly put away the soft ladder and suspension ladder, and the person driving the speedboat below quickly drove the speedboat away from here and drove quickly in the other direction after we came up.

I pointed to the departing man: "Where are they going?" ”

"There are a lot of small islands around here, and of course which ones to go to to take refuge. Rest assured, this is not the first day they have been here, as long as they change their clothes and go ashore in another place, no one knows what they have done. Rebic said.

Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered the phone I had taken from Milarov. I took out the turned off phone and handed it to Rebic and said, "This is Milarov's, and it has the phone number of the guy who contacted him." “

Rebic took the phone and said, "What did that guy say to you?" ”

He said that he was contacted by a Bulgarian, a member of Bulgarian intelligence. He said that he was forced to betray Nicky, because if he didn't do it, then he would be dealt with. And in his opinion, Russia is not an adversary of NATO. So he chose to work with that guy and betrayed Nicky. I said.

As Rebic was thinking about the problem with the phone, a man who looked like a crew member came up to us and looked at us and said, "Come with me to the cabin and have some coffee and something to eat." ”

I pointed to the clothes we had changed into and said, "What about these things?" ”

"Leave it alone." Nicky put the phone in his bag, "They'll take us to dispose of it." Let's talk about what Milarov said to you before he died. “

So, as I walked, I repeated to Rebic what Milarov had said in the restaurant and in the car. After hearing this, Rebic smiled and said, "It seems that the ideas on the NATO side are much richer than we imagined." “

"What does that mean?" I asked curiously.

Rebic looked at me, then at Zhao Yi who was following us, "I think Mr. Zhao should also participate in our discussions, what do you think?" “

"Of course." I nodded and beckoned to Zhao Yi. After Zhao Yi followed, Rebic spoke: "I don't think NATO wants Nicky's organization to become a complete and powerful transcontinental smuggling group. Or maybe they didn't want one of his successors to be as good as Nicky, or even surpass him, after Nicky's death. “

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yi and I glanced at each other and asked in unison.

Rebic didn't speak immediately, but waited for all of us to come to the ship's dining room, and Rebic took the coffee and took two sips before continuing: "In your opinion and Milarov, the people in the west are generally betting on the two factions, and then see who is the last strong man?" Hehe. It seems to me that they just want these landlords to fight each other. ”

"Scuffle?" I looked at Rebic, "Is the melee good for them?" Won't they ask for help from their respective supporters in the west when they fight? Isn't that a contradiction? “

"Yes. They will definitely ask for help. Rebic nodded affirmatively.

Just when I was a little puzzled, Zhao Yi, who was sitting next to me, seemed to have figured it out. Zhao Yi nodded and smiled bitterly and said, "Is it to ask for help to better control these guys?" Let them have a sense of crisis, let them know the importance of the west, so that they can be more obedient. ”

"Exactly." Rebic nodded, "This is actually similar to the territorial strategy implemented by the Yankees. He's always seen conflicts between countries in the world, big and small, so it's convenient for him to profit from them, isn't it? For example, Israel and Palestine and the surrounding circle of countries that are hostile to Israel, how long do you think the United States will be able to withstand if the United States fully supports Israel in attacking them? Especially Palestine ... But that's never going to happen. This will not only make the United States bear too much cost and risk, but may also raise a powerful and uncontrollable land snake. So he's never going to do that. “

"So they're going to split Nicky's organization, but they're not going to easily put one person together to reunite it? And what about Bodachev? What will happen to him? I asked.

"Bodachev? If he really is a person who has any cooperation with different governments, of course he will be hit. But perdition is not necessarily. They need to make these people under their control have enemies so that they can control them better. If one guy takes over Nicky's organization all at once, if everything goes well, then in two or three years, who can say that this organization can be completely controlled? Even if I could, I think the price would have been surprisingly high. Rebic said.
