Subtitle of this chapter: Who does it take to sail on the sea?

……………………

"Mr. Yuan, then what did your captain ask me to come for for something?"

"Mr. Aiden, if I were the captain of the ship, I would definitely need a lookout in search of the 'Great Route'. He can keep an eye out for reefs, icebergs, storms, and pirates around me. And aren't you my lookout? ”

"Mr. Yuan, I think your ship is a pirate ship, and I really don't want to get on it."

"Mr. Aiden, not everyone can get on my boat. Our straw hats ......"

"Sir, your 'juice'."

Just as our Master Yuan was about to establish the Straw Hat Pirates, the bartender interrupted them.

"Mr. Aiden, let's go talk there."

With that, Yuan Yanqian picked up her wine glass and walked to a secluded corner.

It stands to reason that the rest of the conversation should be in a more intimate place, such as his room.

However, this time, Master Yuan was not sure that he would be able to convince the other party, and General ZOD seemed to be the kind of person whose strength was off the charts, if he didn't agree with him, he would definitely be the one who only had 10 points of strength.

Come to think of it, it's safer to be in this kind of public place.

"Mr. Aiden, please be seated." The two sat down, and Yuan Yanqian took a sip of juice and said in a deep voice, "Victor Aiden." Born in San Antonio, Texas in 1880, he joined the Army after high school and served in the Spanish-American War of 1889, serving as a gendarme and a junior magistrate. After the war, he joined the Texas Mounted Police Superintendent and received a Governor's Commendation for his outstanding performance......"

Hearing this, the expressions of the former military police of the US military police and the former Texas mounted police changed, and their eyes became even more fierce, staring at Master Yuan's face like a bird of prey staring at its prey.

The U.S. police system, like the judicial system, is divided into federal, state, and city and county levels. Again, there is no vertical management relationship between the three levels.

Of course, this is because the United States itself was formed by the merger of colonies and has a strong tradition of self-government. So the police at the city and county level have a lot of power.

State police, on the other hand, perform police duties in areas where local police agencies do not care about counties, cities, etc., such as patrolling state highways and resolving traffic accidents.

That is, in the United States, the scope of the activities of the state police is not large, and their position in the overall American police agency is not very important, and the state police chief is mostly appointed by the governor himself.

But the Texas Ranger Division, or Texas Ranger for short, is different from the average state policeman. Because this was originally a paramilitary force that had been formed before Texas seceded from Mexico.

The Texas Rangers began as a volunteer militia organized by private farmers and numbered a dozen people, mostly cowboy farmers and herders with their own weapons, and the original intention was to protect the new immigrants (mostly whites, of course) who moved to Texas from the harassment of the natives.

However, the founder of this militia was Stephen F. Austin (1793-1836), known as the "Texas Daddy".

The name is certainly unfamiliar to people outside of Americans, but Austin, the capital of Texas, is named after their family name. If the Republic of Texas had not been incorporated into the United States later, it would have been perfectly possible to call him the "Washington of Texas."

The trigger for Texas' independence, the famous "Alamo Incident," was triggered by this paramilitary force.

In 1836, twenty Texas Rangers led more than 100 militiamen to defend Alamo City, and they faced an encirclement and attack by nearly 2,000 Mexican regular troops. Although they failed and were wiped out at three times the cost of killing their opponents, their courage and brutality inspired the people of Texas...... Well, of course, the white populace of non-Mexicans and Indians. (Author's note: There is an American drama "The Rise of Texas" that talks about this matter.) ）

As a result, the Texas Mounted Superintendent has a much higher status than the police in other states in the United States. In addition, because Texas is vast and sparsely populated, the scale of the settlements is not large, and the local sheriff is unable to deal with all kinds of vicious cases, so the Texas Mounted Police Superintendent is also relatively lenient.

"Victor Aiden has a great future at this time, but he falls in love with a beautiful woman of mixed Latin and Indian descent......

As soon as he heard this, General ZOD's face changed again, and he leaned up and said sharply: "Neo-Yuan, what do you mean by this?!" ”

"Shhhh It's a public place. Our Master Yuan put his index finger in front of his lips and said, "Please let me finish my words." ”

"Humph!" The other party snorted coldly and lit a cigarette.

Yuan Yan leisurely lit a cigar and continued: "His marriage has caused him a lot of reproach in the family, and it has also cast a shadow on his future in the Texas Mounted Superintendent. ”

And it happened that at this time, in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned his attorney general, Charles Joseph Bonaparte, to set up a small detective agency to investigate the illegal sale of land in the western region of the United States. The Texas Rangers joined the BOI with his previous connections in the military and left his hometown with his wife. ”

"He and his wife have a son and a daughter. And because his wife was in poor health, he had to live in warm Florida in order to recuperate, and at the same time spent a lot of money on treatment, and the Aidens were always in a poor financial situation. ”

"Because I don't have a high education, I don't have anything to do with Washington, and I'm still a Texan. Therefore, Mr. Aiden's career at BOI was not very smooth. ”

"In 1921, Victor Eden was commissioned to form a team of investigators to investigate the Wall Street bombing in New York, and ......"

"We're acquainted." Our Master Yuan winked at the other party and said, "According to our Seris, this is fate. ”

"Hehehe......" At this time, General ZOD also calmed down and said with a sneer: "Mr. Neo-Yuan, are you threatening me?" ”

"Threatening you?!" Yuan Yanqian made a look of surprise and said, "Where does this start, I just care about my partner." ”

He spread his hands and said, "Mr. Aiden, you must know me well, so isn't it fair that I also know you?" ”

"Fair?" Mr. Aiden shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan. I really don't know much about you! ”

He suddenly relaxed and leaned back in his chair, looking at the mysterious Oriental man with playful eyes: "A student from China, a high-ranking figure in a Chinese gang, an outstanding economist and political commentator, a genius and a playwright, a generous philanthropist and social activist, a good friend of the Baker family, a regular visitor in Sino-Japanese diplomatic circles, and a playboy popular with women...... Oh, and by the way, a very successful investor. ”

"So, Mr. Yuan. It's not fair at all! ”
