Quentin Nick would never use the word "ask for advice" to describe the communication between the two of them, his self-esteem would not allow him to do so, although now it seems that those poor self-esteems are running out.

"If it's just a suggestion, then I'm sorry, but all the experience I know of with pirates doesn't fit the situation here in Nassau." Li Fei didn't force it, and the result was that there was no useful advice.

Like the United States, Cuba is a country that does not prohibit guns, and the United States of Cuba also believes that owning weapons can allow citizens to better protect their rights, and at the same time can cultivate the martial spirit of the countrymen, so the proportion of Cubans with guns is a bit high, with an average of one defensive weapon for every 1.5 people.

It is worth mentioning that the Cuban civilian arms market is flooded with almost all the products of the Horse Arms Company, and considering the relationship between the Horse Group and the United Cuban States, the answer is also coming out.

The vast majority of the Chinese living in the Bahamas hold the nationality of the United States of Cuba, and of course they follow the "traditional" habits of Cuba, and the percentage of people who own weapons is much higher overall, on average, one weapon per person.

In this context where all the people are soldiers, not to mention a small group of pirates, even if a certain country wants to control the Chinese in the Bahamas, they have to weigh it.

Facts have proved that allowing ordinary people to hold weapons still has certain security risks, but on the whole, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, at least the Turks and Caicos Islands have never entered the area north of Nassau in pirates, and only dare to operate south of Nassau, which also gives Li Fei enough confidence.

Of course, at least it seems.

"You just have to make your suggestion, and it's not something you have to think about whether you want to adopt it or not." Quentin Nicol is still hard-mouthed and resolutely refuses to admit that he has been cornered.

Li Fei didn't speak in a hurry, leaned back in his chair for a long time, and looked Quentin Nick up and down with playful and rude eyes, until Quentin Nick's face was red, his fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and he was about to reach the brink of an outbreak, Li Fei reluctantly gave his own advice: "Dealing with pirates is like doing business, we are not good at this industry, in this case, why not leave the problem to the experts to deal with?" ”

Expert!

This seems to be a solid suggestion, but immediately a whole bunch of questions arise, such as where to find a sufficient number of reliable experts.

"I heard that in Panama, there is a security company called Panama Company, this company is very capable, they recently completely defeated the regular army of the Colombian government, and captured tens of thousands of people at once, so I suggest that we can have appropriate contact with Panamanian Company." Li Fei suddenly mentioned the Panama company, which made Quentin Nick a little embarrassed.

Yes, Panama has completely defeated the expeditionary force sent by the Colombian government, and in this war, which ended at the end of October, Panama defeated the 55,000 expeditionary force sent by the Colombian government in a head-on battlefield with an army of less than 6,000 men.

The war shattered the illusions of the Colombian government, guaranteed the independence of the Bahamas, and objectively made the Panamanian company famous.

It is said that after the war, a military observer group composed of military observers from 11 countries jointly visited the Panamanian company, and after that, they all submitted a report to the country that spoke highly of the Panamanian company, and the British were of course among them, and the report submitted by the military observers sent by the British was even published in the British newspapers, so Quentin Nick was no stranger to the Panamanian company.

Of course, as an Englishman, Quentin Nick's feelings about Panama are still a bit complicated, on the one hand, Quentin Nick received the impact of the report and has a high opinion of Panama Company, and on the other hand, Quentin Nick has a bad opinion of Panama Company.

After all, the Colombian government army defeated by the Panama Company was trained in the same way as the British Army, and was equipped with a full set of British weapons, which seemed to confirm from another side that the British Army was indeed as vulnerable as the rumors.

Compared with the Royal Navy, which is loved by thousands of people, the British Army is a bit of a grandmother who doesn't love his uncle, and the annual military expenditure is less than 1/4 of the Navy's military expenditure, which is really sad.

To tell the truth, the British Army does not have any outstanding records, since the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo, the situation of the British Army has deteriorated, even if the British Army is looked at from the perspective of the 21st century, the British Army still seems to be unable to take it, they have almost no eye-catching records, they have never won any war as an independent force, really in the Commonwealth economic system, the leading actors are Canadians, and Australians, New Zealanders, As for Britain itself, forget it, without the Canadian Corps and the Anzac Corps, it is not known whether Britain would survive the First World War.

The current predicament of the British Army is not caused by a day or two, as a British, my father does not care about the military aspect, and Quentin Nick also knows that the Chinese Army is powerless in this regard, so when Li Fei mentioned the Panama company, Quentin Nick's feelings were very complicated.

"Actually, we don't have to bear much responsibility for this, and it would be our greatest dereliction of duty to let this group of pirates continue to exist, and this is the best solution I can think of, of course it would be more powerful to ask for London's help, but we all know that London is too far away from Nassau to be able to reach it." Li Fei is not worried that Quentin Nick will not give in.

In fact, London is not far from Nassau, more than 6,000 kilometers, warships are moving at full speed, and they can reach Nassau from London in a month at most.

The key is how long the procedure will take before sending troops, no one is sure of this, even if it is fast in two or three months, if the efficiency is low, it is not impossible to drag on for half a year and a few months.

The Bahamas certainly can't afford to wait that long.

Quentin Nick knew this very well, so although he was bitter in his heart, Quentin Nick was already inclined to contact the Panamanian company, at least it was more reliable to train an army from scratch here.

After all, the current British and Bahamas have not established diplomatic relations at all, which means that the British government does not recognize the existence of the Panamanian government at all, and naturally cuts off the channels of contact through official channels.

Fortunately, there is also Li Fei, through Li Fei's relationship, in mid-November, Quentin Nick and Ford, the general manager of the Panamanian company, and other Jinling secretaries met in the Cuban port city of Santiago.

The funds of the Zama Group have injected new vitality into Santiago, a port city that was already quite large during the Spanish rule, and has now become the largest port on the Caribbean coast, and can even be called the economic center of the Caribbean, and the United States of Cuba once proudly claimed that Santiago is the heart of the Caribbean, providing enough impetus for the economic vitality of the entire Caribbean region.

When Quentin Nick's passenger ship sailed into the port of San Diego, Quentin Nick's eyes were completely attracted by the port lighthouse, which was more than 30 meters high.

This is a lighthouse made entirely of long white boulders, which looks extremely coarse, as if it is just an irregular pile of stones, but it has an incredible messy beauty, especially the bronze statue of a horse on the top of the lighthouse, which is more than three meters high, as if to show everyone who enters and leaves the port to show Santiago's ownership.

As the largest port in the entire Caribbean, San Diego now has 12 berths, but Quentin Nick's passenger ship waited a full three hours to dock.

Stepping on the stone paved dock floor, Quentin Nick subconsciously stomped his feet to find the feeling of stepping on the ground, which made Quentin Nick feel a lot more at ease.

Follow the flow of people on the pier, and there are guides on the side of the road who are constantly reminding people in Spanish and English to take steps and not stop on the pier to avoid traffic jams.

The docks were orderly, with police officers in dark green uniforms on duty, usually wearing intricately patterned iron helmets, which made Quentin Nick feel a little familiar.

The people on the docks were diverse, from wealthy businessmen from all over the Caribbean, to young people looking for opportunities in San Diego, to hurried company employees, to women dressed up in fancy clothes.

These women are visiting San Diego, and of course they have an important mission to shop, San Diego has the largest urban beauty store in the entire Caribbean, and the products here are available exactly the same time as the main store in New York, in other words, customers can experience the same service in the San Diego store as they do in the main store in New York.

Quentin Nick had already booked a room at the Castle Clinton Hotel, and although the hotel sent a horse-drawn carriage to pick up Quentin Nick, the carriage could not come to the dock and had to wait outside the port area.

"Hell, there are so many people here, are they all so idle..."Quentin Nick unconsciously slandered, and if he said what he really thought in his heart, he would feel ashamed of himself.

Quentin Nick is downright jealous of San Diego's prosperity.

Out of the wharf, the exit of the port area is facing the 30-meter-wide Yingbin Avenue, the carriage sent by the Clinton Castle Hotel is waiting next to the exit, Quentin Nick got into the carriage, saw the simple and thick Clinton Castle Hotel logo on the body, subconsciously paused, but finally didn't say anything, sighed and got into the carriage.

This is very embarrassing, ordinary people may not know the relationship between the Clinton Castle Hotel and Li Mu, Quentin Nick must know that although the British government has strictly guarded against Li Mu and the Junma Group, Quentin Nick, an Englishman, has to rely on the services provided by the Clinton Castle Hotel when he leaves the Commonwealth, I have to say, this is really ironic.

"Sir, Mr. Ford Benjamin is going to have lunch with the Mayor of San Diego in the morning, and I will be attending the city of San Diego in the evening, and I have 20 minutes for you to have a special dinner to welcome Mr. Ford Benjamin." In the carriage, Alva Bradley, director of the Bahamas' Santiago office, respectfully reported to Quentin Nick.

In view of Santiago's special economic status, the Bahamas had to set up an office in Santiago to facilitate procurement and maintain good relations with the Santiago government.

"Enough, is what I want ready?" Quentin Nick doesn't have any more time requirements, in fact, 20 minutes is enough, if Quentin Nick and Ford Benjamin can reach an agreement, then there will be formal negotiations next, if the two can't get along, then don't say 20 minutes, five minutes is a shameful waste.

"It's all ready, but the information we have collected is not complete, you know, all the information we can collect is deliberately let us know by some people, so the reference value is not really large." A briefcase made of Crazy Horse skin appeared in Alva's hand, and Alva pulled out a document from the briefcase, and handed it to Quentin Nick with a somewhat worried expression, which was the information that Quentin Nick asked Alva to collect, all about Ford Benjamin and Erma.

Even if he is not a soldier, Quentin Nick knows that he can't fight unprepared battles, and the current Panama company is extremely strange to Quentin Nick, Quentin Nick needs to understand Ford Benjamin and Panama Company from all angles.

Alva still has a lot of skills to be the director of the Bahamian office in San Diego, and through Alva's report, Quentin Nick did learn more information that he didn't know before, including the personal relationship between Ford Benjamin and Li Mu.

If it were the British government, just because of the closeness between Ford Benjamin and Li Mu, the idea of cooperating with Ford Benjamin would be severed.

But Quentin Nick didn't dare to break it, Quentin Nick still counted on Ford Benjamin to help him clean up the raging pirates, if he really wanted to break off the cooperation, would he force London or Guantanamo to help?

Even if he can't cooperate with the Panamanian company in the future, Quentin Nick will not seek help from Guantanamo, which may lead to serious consequences, and if he is not careful, he may even harm the Viscount, which is absolutely unacceptable to Quentin Nick.

"Thank you Alva, this is the most detailed report I've ever seen..."Quentin Nick politely thanked Alva.

At least that's a good start.
