Section 237 Dangerous Actions [M]
Line up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Cai Yunnan was queuing, something he had never done before, but he had to do. The American soldiers who maintained order on both sides of the line warned any reckless person who tried to cut the line with their actions that if he did, the recruitment of American companies would no longer have anything to do with him.
So, no matter who was standing in the queue, he could only wait patiently.
Also includes Cai Yunnan.
It's his own choice. As he stood at the end of a long queue of candidates early in the morning, Cai knew he had to be familiar with and get used to an activity he had never experienced before. Of course, he regretted it very much, thinking that he should not have given up on Wendehei, but this was also an inevitable result.
If he still wanted to enter Umbrella, he would have to give up Moonheir.
The problem is still with him.
One thing is certain, although Cai Yunnan assured Wen Deji that he could mobilize some people to apply, he was neither willing nor able to complete the task: he did not want to add some strong competitors to himself, and at the same time, everyone in Suixi knew what kind of role he was, and no one wanted to believe him for a long time, even his "friends".
Cai Yunnan didn't know how to solve this problem, and he didn't even know if he wanted to solve it. There was only one thing that was important to him: no matter what method he used, he would not want to care about the rest of the things he wanted to do in the American company that Moonson said.
However, Wen Desi had already made it clear that he would not offer any help unless Cai Yunnan could mobilize other villagers to apply - and his attitude was so resolute that Cai Yunnan knew that whatever he did was pointless, whether it was threats or pleadings, or bribes, none of them would work - which meant that he could not actually get any help.
It took him three days to figure it out, and he decided to get a job in another way: to apply directly to the Americans and see if his luck had run out.
So here he is.
Now, of course, he felt that he might not have any luck, because the number of villagers who came to apply for the job was far more than he had originally expected - Cai Yunnan originally thought that since Wen Deji asked him to introduce some people to apply, it meant that there might not be many people who went to apply. But the reality was that, even though it was almost noon, there were still about fifty men in front of him, three hundred behind him, and two equally long lines beside him.
There were too many people, and Cai Yunnan felt that he was very likely to be squeezed out of the way by others, just like what had happened in the gang before.
He was disappointed.
"Maybe I should walk away on my own, so I can save some time...... And strength. Cai Yunnan muttered in a low voice, wanting to leave the queue. In addition to being disappointed in the future, another reason was that he had only drunk a bowl of white porridge in the morning, so he was already hungry.
Cai Yunnan has never been a person who can endure hardship, and of course he can't starve. When he thinks about it, whether he needs to apply or not, he thinks that he should first fill his stomach, even if he has to queue up again.
He was ready to leave the group. But at this time, the end of the line began to stir, from small to large, and gradually spread forward. Confused, he turned his head with the others and saw a small group of catchers and militia members driving away the applicants.
Whatever they want to do, it's a hornet's nest.
"Stop them!" Cai Yunnan was sure that he had heard a familiar voice. He tilted his head slightly, and saw the same familiar face. This made Cai Yunnan embarrassed to see, but his attention was quickly drawn to what was happening: under the command of Wen Desi, dozens of American soldiers surrounded the catchers and militia members and pointed their guns at them.
The situation became tense, and the Catchers and the militia members seemed to be frightened, standing still and not moving, the only thing they could do was to stare at the muzzle of the gun aimed at them. However, the American soldiers did not shoot.
It was Thomas's task force that was in charge of maintaining order, and every soldier was ordered not to open fire and cause bloodshed, and they had been doing similar things since they landed in Canton Bay, and all of them had a lot of experience and knew that all they had to do now was wait, wait for the commander to come forward.
They only waited for a moment, and Thomas quickly stood in front of the "perpetrators", and then there was an extremely severe reprimand.
"You have broken into the concession of the United States of America." In fact, the catcher and the militia members are still outside the concession, and there is a short distance from the border, but Thomas doesn't care about this fact, he just wants to give himself more initiative, and he does it.
The Catchers and the militia members began to slowly retreat, while Thomas continued, "This behavior is a grave violation of the United States of America, and now I ask you to leave behind your weapons, immediately withdraw from the lease, issue a public apology, and vow not to do the same again." If you refuse, we will immediately destroy you and lodge a strong protest with the Chinese governmentβ"
"You are asking for nothing." Another voice rang out, interrupting Thomas and Moonheir at the same time. They looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, just in time to see a crowd of people they had seen before walking towards them.
It's Li Yunrui.
When he stood in front of them, he continued: "Our county catchers and militia groups are performing official duties on the land of the Qing Dynasty and have not entered the American Concession. β
He used his own broken English, but both Thomas and Moonheir understood it. They exchanged glances, and then Thomas said, "Either way, their actions are distinctly aggressive." β
Aggressive? Li Yunrui sneered, but instead of refuting it, he announced: "They are just performing official duties." β
"The official duties they perform affect our work." Thomas emphasized.
"Is it also the job of the U.S. military to protect U.S. companies recruiting mercearies?"
"I'm just carrying out orders."
"Well, I'm sorry. The county has just received an order from the Governor of Liangguang that no one in Liangguang should apply for a job with the American Umbrella Company, and that anyone who violates this prohibition will be arrested. Li Yunrui said loudly, wanting to spread this threat to every pair of ears that could be heard.
The buzz immediately resounded in the crowd of onlookers, and soon most of the candidates who were still in line left, while others rushed to the mercenaries in charge of registration in an attempt to remove their names from the list. The scene quickly became chaotic and uncontrollable.
"What are we going to do?" Wen Deji looked at Thomas worriedly. Of course, he was not worried about himself, because no one had the courage to enter the concession and arrest people, and in other places, he was not in danger under the protection of mercenaries. But Mr. Lee's warnings made it impossible to continue the recruitment, which would have prevented him from completing his mission.
But Thomas didn't know what to do with it - he didn't get any instructions. If the Chinese police were going to arrest the Chinese among the mercenaries, he knew that they should be fired, but if the arrest was made by a candidate who had not officially joined the company, the mercenaries would obviously not be able to protect them.
Unless explicitly indicated.
He thought about it. "I'm afraid we'll have to report it to Miss McBride and Mr. Yi Shui immediately."
However, Rachel and Yi Shui have already gotten the news. At the same time as the arresters and militia groups were dispatched to drive out the applicants, the county magistrate of Suixi County also visited them and informed them of the ban of the governor of Liangguang.
It was completely unexpected.
"What the hell is going on?" She walked back and forth around the room like a trapped beast in a trap, "The Governor here shouldn't know that security guards are mercenaries, and he doesn't have any reason to stop our recruitment. β
"But he did, didn't he?" Yi Shui was also walking back and forth, following Rachel closely, as if that would take care of her troubles - and his ideas, of course. "I think the recruitment should end immediately. We have nothing to lose anyway. β
"Except for my face." In fact, Rachel is not a person who particularly cares about her face, but when she thought that Qin Lang had once again shown her consistent correctness, she felt very unwilling. "We've got to keep the recruitment going."
"With the ban of the Governor of Liangguang, no one wants to risk applying." Yi Shui sighed, "This is not the United States, our power is limited. β
Rachel thought about it for a few seconds. "We can get candidates into the concession."
"That's hiding the Chinese government's criminals. Rachel, this will make our relationship with the Governor of Liangguang and even Beijing very bad, and it may even affect Qin Lang's ongoing plans. "It's better not to do that," he warned. β
But she didn't seem to hear it. "There is a shortage of police in the concession and it is said that the municipality intends to establish a coast guard. Maybe I can convince Morgan Jr. and others to let the authorities hand over the recruitment of police and guards to us, so that people can be brought in legally. Or ......," she added, "or the other way around." β
"They won't agree."
"They will. At least little Morgan knows Qin Lang's plan for the Philippines, and he won't want to see us in the predicament of insufficient troops. According to the agreement, the five consortiums that invested in the Big Viper Arms Company could get thirty-five percent of the wealth seized by the mercenaries in the Philippines, and for their own benefit, Morgan Jr. would help Umbrella, and Rachel was confident that he would be convinced.
Then she turned around. "Do something for me and figure out why the Governor gave the ban."
Something must have happened. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
