One Hundred and Seven Great Riots (3)

When I heard that a gun-making workshop was going to settle on our site, I decided to take a look for myself, as this was the first "foreign" company here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Billy accompanied me and Big Eyes to a factory building north of his studio, where some of the weeds on the ground had not been cleared, and the factory had just been painted and smelled of paint. There are some wooden boxes of packaging equipment piled up at the door of the factory, and there are many porters who are busy. It seems that this workshop has just moved in.

Billy introduced me: "You see, the workshop is very efficient, and they started to move just three days ago when they found a good place for them. The day before yesterday, their families moved to the town. ”

It makes me wary. To be honest, I've been overwhelmed by the recent series of events, and I have to think about the bad first, so I asked Billy, "They're in such a hurry, can't it be something else?" ”

I was stunned when I said this, and sniffed the strong smell of paint with my nose and said uncertainly: "It's really too sharp, a little abnormal." But this is said to be introduced by Peterson and his son, and the two of you and the Garand know each other. ”

Big eyes hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

Billy said, "They just said that when you come back and tell you both, I'd better not ask?" ”

Who is this so mysterious? When I think of Garand knowing him, the first thing that comes to my mind is the "Mediterranean" gang. Does "Mediterranean" still want me to work as a security guard for him? With a stomach full of doubts, I followed Billy into the factory and saw that construction was still going on inside. Billy pointed to me to a bearded man in his fifties, with brown and yellow hair, "That's Peterson." ”

At this time, Peterson also saw us, and after a few words of explanation to a foreman, he came over to Billy and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen. You see, I'm almost done here. When are you going to install a backup generator for me? ”

Billy introduced me to Peterson: "The backup generator will be installed very quickly. I'll introduce you to this is James. Lee, this is Robert. Feng. ”

Peterson hurriedly said hello, and I got straight to the point: "Mr. Peterson, how did you remember to move your business to such a place?" ”

Peterson smiled, "Ah, I'm not a business, I'm just a family factory that makes rifles." As for you asking me what I like about this place, I can tell you that I was introduced here. He said you're safer here. ”

Big-eyed asked, "Really?" Who introduced you? Can you tell me? ”

Peterson didn't answer, but said, "Please take a look at my factory. ”

Billy said with a smile, "I have something to do, you guys talk first." With that, he went on his own. Then I asked Peterson, "Now who introduced you?" ”

Peterson let us into the house and closed the door in his office, where the paint had not yet dried, before he said, "The friend who introduced me to a gentleman nicknamed Lighthouse." ”

Depend on! Sure enough, it was the "Mediterranean". What kind of nasty thing does this kid want to do with me? I said, "Mr. Lighthouse didn't say hello to me. ”

"It's a little bit of a small thing, and I don't have anything special that I need him to say hello to," Peterson said. Would you refuse to add a factory here? And we'd better not mention Mr. Lighthouse at all, it's all good for us, isn't it? ”

I was a little confused, and seeing that he didn't want to tell me the truth, I had to ask, "So what the hell are you doing?" ”

Peterson handed me a business card and said, "Don't worry, I'm a serious businessman, but I just happen to know some people." If you like weapons, then you must have heard of the Bison high-precision rifle, and that's mine. My family has been making rifles since the days of the West. Look, my family's hand-drawn barrel is more than two hundred years old. ”

The business card had the website address of the factory, and I handed it to Big Eye, who took the business card and walked out of the house, thinking that if the Peterson family really had a history of making rifles for more than 200 years, it would be easy to find out.

I saw the address on my business card and asked the next question: "Mr. Peterson, so your factory was originally in Pine Valley, which is a good place, why did you move here?" ”

Peterson pulled up a chair and sat across from me: "Mr. Lee, why did you put Billy. How did Mr. Chen's factory move from a prosperous area? It's for safety, right? I'm also for safety. You have to know that Pine Valley is only ten miles away from the largest prison in the United States. The prison was already overcrowded, and on the contrary, the allocation there had not increased at a time when inflation was so high. Maybe one day there will be a big accident! I don't want a bunch of crazy people to break in the door and put a gun to their head. So I'm moving out of there. ”

"Then you don't have to move here, do you? There are so many good places. ”

"yes," Peterson said, "there are a lot of good places. But first of all, I can't stay away from the market and the supply of parts, which means I can't leave Lavona. As you've noticed, millions of people are pouring into the city, and it's certainly another big riot, and it's not easy to find a safe place in the middle of the riots. There are dozens of armed men here, and there is no shortage of electricity, and it is not easy to be affected by riots. With that, he spread out his hands and signaled that it was like this.

I noticed that he was talking about riots and asked, "Do you think there will be a big riot?" ”

"Yes......" He paused suddenly, his eyes rolled and his words changed: "Who can say this?" Maybe, there is a good possibility. ”

Judging by Peterson's demeanor, he may have known some inside information, but since he doesn't want to say, I probably can't ask. So I talked to him about his business, hoping to learn a little bit more. I asked Peterson, "Is it easy to sell arms now?" ”

Peterson nodded repeatedly: "Of course! You probably don't know how fierce the war between different Mexican gangs, between Mexicans and South Americans, for access to the United States is being fought. They need a lot of weapons, with an estimated U.S. shipment of more than 3,000 guns into Mexico and South America each month. I made rifles that were in short supply. "He was proud to tell me that at least five senior judges and police officers in Mexico and South America had died at the muzzle of rifles he had built.

Is this also something to be proud of? He didn't care who the rifles he made were killing, he was frowning at the mention of rifles, but as soon as I turned the subject a little to the possibility of a riot in Lavona, he immediately diverted from the subject. It made me even more convinced that he might know something inside.

After talking for nearly an hour, I had to tell him that I would allow him to stay here as long as he didn't make any trouble, and then I took my leave. Back at Billy's studio, Big Eyes was waiting for me, beckoning to me as soon as I came in, "Hey, come and see this." ”

I walked up to Billy's computer, pointed to the open page with a wide eye, and said, "Billy has checked Peterson's identity." What he said was true, and information like his tax records was true. But Big Four-Eyed just sent this thing. ”

I saw a photo on the page of a man who looked a little bit like Peterson. As soon as I saw the name, this man was also Peterson and asked, "Who is this?" Peterson's brother? ”

Big Eyes said, "Yes." Peterson's brother, and you can't imagine what he does. ”

I said, "Don't sell it, say it!" ”

"This person's identity is kept secret, so it's not easy for the big four eyes to find out," Billy said. One can only speculate that this guy is from the National Reconnaissance Office or the Defense Intelligence Agency in the Hexagon. Do you know the National Scouting Office? It's a very good department, and it can command the Department of Defense and the National Intelligence Agency. ”

It's kind of interesting. Since this Peterson has such a big brother, he should have gotten the news that there might be a big riot, right? Looks like we're in trouble again.
