716 For the Heavenly Way
Molokai was well prepared to welcome the Far East Company mercenaries, with a resort that could accommodate up to 500 people at a time, and an entertainment program including bonfires and open-air dances for the mercenaries to spend their last leisure time before arriving in the Ryukyus.
Since there is a ball, then there must be alcohol and women, and the resort has done a decent job of this, not only offering a wide range of alcohol, but also a large number of dancers, without the use of coercion, whether by rhetoric or money, if you win the favor of the dancers, then maybe there will be some romantic things happening.
"Guys, be sure to keep your eyes peeled until you look for a target, the one with a wreath in his hair is your target, if the other person is wearing a grass ring on his head, then please remain gentlemen, those are the resort staff, if you don't want to get into trouble, please exercise restraint-" As soon as they arrived at the resort, the junior officers of the Far East Company emphasized to the mercenaries the traditions of the resort.
These mercenaries do need some rules, you must know that these people may be the most immoral group of people in the world, they don't even care about their lives, don't expect them to abide by social morality on the battlefield, they are precisely because they can't stand the constraints of the regular army's military discipline, so they will join the mercenaries, according to the previous experience of Panama companies and Bahamas companies, if this is not emphasized, then I am afraid that all female creatures that appear within a kilometer of them will be harassed by them.
Relatively speaking, the grassroots officers of the Far East Company are still very good, these officers basically have service experience, and even some of them are directly obtained from the active duty by the Far East Company through their connections, and it is precisely because of the existence of these grassroots officers that Li Mu has the confidence to throw these mercenaries directly to the Far East.
To tell the truth, for a troop, it is important to have a wise and resolute leader, and a large number of outstanding grass-roots officers are also indispensable, and even to a certain extent, the role of these grass-roots officers in a force is even more important, especially after entering the era of hot weapons, the role of generals is constantly weakening, while the importance of organization and discipline is constantly increasing, and these can only be achieved by relying on a large number of qualified grass-roots officers.
"We don't have gentlemen here, only rotten people—" The mercenaries were indeed undisciplined, and immediately someone screamed, and managed to win a chorus of pandering.
"It seems that I need to remind you that this is Mr. Reeme's private domain, and you are now Mr. Reem's employees, if you don't want to die in the jungles of the Far East for nothing, then you better be honest here, I don't want you to be good all the time, but this is still American territory, don't trouble me until you leave American territory." The officers didn't expect to stop these people in just one sentence, if someone really died, then it would be better to do business, anyway, they had already been reminded that everyone was an adult and should be responsible for their actions.
In the army, it is really easy to deal with a certain thorn, officers have 10,000 ways to put a certain subordinate to death, and it will not let people grab any handles, so don't underestimate the threat of officers, those who don't take their top bosses seriously, the grass on the grave is estimated to be one meter high.
After a sumptuous dinner, there was a bonfire on the beach in the evening, the resort was indeed powerful, and even invited a live band to help the fun, when the bonfire began to burn, the atmosphere immediately became warm, this is the reminder of the officers is very important, in the center of the campfire, there are girls with garlands on their heads are dancing, they are wearing Hawaiian-style grass skirts, the dance moves are hot and teasing, even with the bonfire becomes hot.
On the other hand, the waiters who shuttled through the venue, these waiters wore grass rings, and their clothes were relatively conservative, they were pure staff, and they must be considered carefully before accosting.
"Do you see clearly? Most of the people in the straw skirts with garlands are blonde white people, and the people in the long skirts with straw rings are mostly Chinese with black hair, so now you should understand that this is indeed Mr. Reeme's private domain. In the corner of the venue, Bill and his two companions were whispering, and the oldest middle-aged cowboy saw through the mystery of the venue at a glance.
"The garland is also dark-haired, what do you want to say?" Rotten Bill doesn't quite understand, and it's a bit complicated to understand this issue with his IQ.
The middle-aged cowboy looked at it carefully for a while, and then smiled disdainfully: "What kind of eyes do you have, those black hair with garlands are Mexican." ”
"What do you want to say? Are you trying to say that those Chinese kids can white women, but we can't harass Chinese women? Rotten Bill seemed to understand something, and was a little shocked by this conclusion.
"Hey, I didn't say that, watch your mouth." The middle-aged cowboy was taken aback and relieved to see that no one was paying attention to this side.
"But that's what you mean, wait and see, I'll give it a try later." Rotten Bill took a sip of the wine from his glass and jumped up screaming to join the crowd.
The middle-aged cowboy shouted rotten Bill, but he didn't stop shouting, so he shook his head speechlessly, and another cowboy also drank all the wine in the cup and jumped up: "We have given reasonable advice from the perspective of a friend, as for whether he is willing to accept it is his business, now let's have fun in time, fortunately we still have a chance." ”
That's right, this is the attitude towards life, to say that the resort is doing a good job, after all, it is not completely forbidden to do this kind of thing, but to control this kind of thing within a controllable range, the current situation is more wolves and less meat, there are more than 400 mercenaries present, only less than a hundred ladies wearing garlands, so if you don't want to spend a lonely night alone, then it's best to act immediately, otherwise the night will be difficult.
The atmosphere of the party was really good, the live band was playing hard, the gentle evening breeze with the smell of barbecue stimulated everyone's taste buds, it only cost ten cents to get a glass of local Hawaiian sugar cane rum, the girls in the wreaths were writhing hard, their sweat soaked through their thin tops, which made them dance even hotter, almost every girl was surrounded by two or three mercenaries, although you could spend money to buy a night of spring dinner, But if you can win the favor of girls with your personal charm, you will obviously have a greater sense of achievement.
While partying on the beach, Jimmy walks into an inconspicuous house in the corner of the resort.
"Jimmy?" A young man at the entrance confirms Jimmy's identity.
"Yes, I'm Jimmy, and I'm coming to Mr. Maxim." Jimmy had changed into casual clothes, Hawaiian-style beach pants and a floral shirt, plus a cowboy hat with a bit of tattered brim that would be recognizable to anyone who was very familiar with him.
"Please come in, Monsieur Maxim is waiting for you." The young man looked Jimmy up and down a few times, as if to make sure that Jimmy had a weapon on him, but eventually gave up on the inspection.
Maxim is a Chinese old man in his sixties, don't look at his age, but he doesn't look like it at all, his desk is not the same as the normal one side of the room, but in the corner of the room, and the whole person is hidden behind the light, which casts a veil of mystery on Maxim.
"Jimmy, you're welcome, how about dinner?" Maxim's opening sentence is very Chinese, but the way it is expressed is problematic, which makes it sound a little awkward.
"It's not bad, it's so much better than we used to, so I ate a little too much tonight, and I don't know when the next meal will be." Jimmy also talked a lot, perhaps because he saw fewer Chinese faces after leaving New York, and Jimmy looked at Maxim a little kindly.
Although Li Mu hoped to recruit more Chinese into the Far East Company, in fact, there were really few Chinese who were willing to return to the Far East, and the first batch of 500 employees of the Far East Company, including Jimmy, were only 12 Chinese, and they were evenly distributed into four companies, each with only three people, which was far from Li Mu's expectations.
Perhaps because of this, Jimmy's preciousness is highlighted, Jimmy's performance is indeed good, and he is now the platoon leader of Company A, in other words, Jimmy is the sharp knife in the sharp knife of the Far Eastern Company.
"The next meal will be tomorrow morning—" Maxim didn't like the American expression, although it was more likely that Maxim disdained it: "I think you should know why I came to you, we are a group of people who were born to be in the dark, even if you are in the light now and have a public identity, you should remember your duty." ”
Yes, duty, Maxim and Jimmy were both from the former Hongmen Torture Hall, now Maxim works for Springfield Security, and Jimmy is in the Far East Company, no matter where they are or what position they hold, they will never forget their duties.
"Yes, I haven't forgotten that our goal now is to overthrow the Qing government, and our long-term goal is to build a strong country dominated by Chinese, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this." Jimmy's expression was serious, whether it was the former Hongmen or the current Chuntian Security Company, their enemies were all the Qing government.
"Very well, then after you arrive in the Far East, you will go to General Bai Qi, and then follow General Bai Qi's orders, remember, maintain good relations with your young men, maybe we will need their help in the future." Maxim told him again that he was finally going to start his strategy against the Qing Kingdom, and to be honest, if it weren't for the long distance, Maxim would rather go in person.
After all, he is a person in his sixties, and the Chinese pay attention to "returning to their roots", and Maxim is already a person who has been cut off by most of the earth, and he may leave the West one day, if possible, Maxim still hopes to be able to return to the Far East to have a look, and when the time comes, Maxim hopes to have an identity that can see people, rather than the current "two devils".
Yes, in the matter of joining the American nationality, although Maxim never said it, but Maxim felt that this was a betrayal of his ancestors, and he could not wait to return home in the future, Maxim should reflect on it in front of the ancestral spiritual seat, it must be after the overthrow of the rule of the Qing government, the current Maxim, don't look at the identity of an "American", but in fact, because of the hostility of the Qing government, Maxim could not return to his home in the Qing country at all.
It's been so many years, and I still don't know if the home that is getting hazy in my memory is still there?
Leaving Maxim's office, Jimmy strolls to the beach, ready to relax.
"Brother, did that person have something to do with you just now?" One of Jimmy's companions immediately leaned over and asked.
"It's okay, that person's ancestor just now is also from the Qing Kingdom, and just now he entrusted me to go to his hometown if possible to have a look, and see if his family is still there." Don't say that Jimmy is an honest man, Jimmy's lies come out of his mouth when needed.
"I think the old man has to be 50 up, after so many years, I guess there is very little hope." Companions don't have faith.
is still the same sentence, as long as they are not forced to be cornered, Chinese people generally do not choose to leave their homeland, looking at Maxim's age, it is estimated that he was sold to the United States as a "piglet", which fully shows that Maxim's family is not rich, and it is difficult to help Maxim find his family.
"Let's do our best—" Jimmy made it up casually, and now he had to continue making it up, as the old saying goes, if you want to cover up a lie, then you need to prepare more lies.
Before he finished sighing, a slap of "snap" suddenly came from the center of the venue, don't ask why you heard it so clearly, the sound of hitting someone with a slap on the face and hitting the body is different, and you can distinguish it if you distinguish it carefully.
Accompanied by a slap, there was also an angry scolding: "I want to touch Nima at home-"
Wow, this counterattack is really sharp, and it immediately won a lot of applause, and there are still people whistling, even the band stopped playing, standing up and watching the excitement happily, so watching the excitement is really not divided into things, everyone is the same gossip, just look at the sales of "The Sun".
If this is the end of the matter, then it will only be an unexpected episode, but Jimmy immediately hears a voice that he absolutely does not want to hear: "You, don't walk around so coquettishly if you don't want to be touched, and don't pretend to be serious since you came out to sell it-"
It's Rotten Bill, and although Jimmy and Bill didn't fight it out that day, Jimmy definitely remembers the sound vividly.
It seems that someone is going to be unlucky, Jimmy and his companions look at each other, get up and walk towards the crowd, if no one comes forward, then Jimmy will have to do the right thing for the sky again.
