"Kidnapping?" Yi Shui muttered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qin Lang nodded. "That's the only way to find out who's interested in our background. The police can't pry open the mouth of a Japanese spy, but I can. ”

Yi Shui felt that the Qin Lang he had seen for the first time was back: since he could plan to rob a jewelry store when he had no money, now he could also plan a kidnapping, and as for whether it was against the law to do so, it was not worth considering at all - only the result was the most important, and the process was insignificant.

However, Yishui did not think it was appropriate to do so. In his view, although the United States is a flawed society, and the rights and interests of blacks, Chinese, and foreigners are not protected most of the time, it is still a country governed by the rule of law no matter what......

"Are you sure it's really good to do that?" Yi Shui asked, looking at Qin Lang very seriously.

"There are two points. First, spies have no human rights. Qin Lang raised one finger, then the second, "Second, treat the enemy as ruthlessly as a harsh winter." ”

"But the Japanese consulate will pursue ......"

"I doubt that the Japanese will be able to find evidence to accuse us."

Yi Shui knew what Qin Lang meant. The Japanese consulate will never find any evidence that San Diego is not a city in Japan or any other country, this is the "wild" American West - of course, not as "wild" as it used to be - in this city, it is easy to let a foreigner disappear without a word.

Qin Lang smiled proudly and said, "San Diego is my home stadium, and the Japanese will never want to score points from me." ”

"Home...... Score? ”

"Leave it alone, it's just a metaphor. Of course, if you are interested, I can also ask the best coach in California to guide you to play American football. ”

"I'm not interested in that kind of brutal sport."

Qin Lang shrugged. In fact, he had no interest in American football either, and the mention of it was just a casual joke - only now it seemed boring and out of place. He turned his head to look at the many guests in the hall, and then cast his gaze past them onto Rachel, who was talking to a few wealthy merchants.

But he was saying something else. "The dance party will start in a while, why don't you talk about Guangzhou Bay, Yi Shui?"

"Guangzhou Bay?"

"Yes. I would like to know the details of this operation. ”

"Qin Lang, before I start, there is one thing I must tell you, in fact, I am very reluctant to talk about the matter of Guangzhou Bay. On the way back to San Diego, I struggled to forget about it. Yi Shui sighed heavily, and then began a memory that he didn't like.

Five months ago, Guangzhou Bay.

In the sweltering cabin, Yi Shui was playing chess alone, a new game he had just learned - on the cruiser San Francisco, chess was the most ideal way to pass the time, second only to bridge. But it was daytime, and the senior officers didn't have time to get together and play cards.

There was a knock on the door. He was a little curious about who would be visiting now, and he responded quickly. "Who?"

"Colonel Yi Shui, I have something to talk to you about." Mahan's voice came from outside the door, "It won't take up much of your time. Can you let me in? ”

Mahan has a problem that needs to be addressed immediately. Yesterday, a prominent figure who made a surprise visit made him realize that his mission in Canton Bay had taken so much time that it was not over until the domestic consortium had extended their hands across the Pacific Ocean - and the Admiral thought it was time to begin the next phase of the operation.

But he also had to get Yi Shui's consent. Despite the fact that his truly meaningful status was only a special observer at the Umbrella company, only he was fully aware of what the next phase of the operation would be, and the mercenary unit preferred to obey him rather than the command of a certain naval officer. Without his support, the end of the mission would have been an unattainable dream.

So he now comes to visit Yi Shui and hopes that he agrees with his proposal.

Yi Shui was well aware of Mahan's purpose for looking for him. He knew which important person had arrived in Canton Bay, knew what the Admiral was worried about, and certainly didn't mind talking to him about it. "Please come in, Colonel." He put away the chess pieces, "The door is not locked. ”

The door opened, and Mahan stepped into the cabin.

"You may be seated, Colonel." Yi Shui continued, "You want to drink something." Of course, I don't have any alcohol here. ”

"Nothing, Lieutenant Colonel, I'm not thirsty now." Mahan sat down in front of Yi Shui, and then immediately got into the subject. "I think you've heard that there are some important people who have arrived in Guangzhou Bay."

"I've heard, Colonel." Yi Shui nodded, "Jack Morgan is here." ”

"It's not just him, Rockefeller, Mellon, DuPont, their people have already arrived here. And it is said that there are also representatives of the consortium on the way. Mahan looked at him solemnly, and there was a hint of warning in his voice. You should know what their purpose is, Lieutenant Colonel. Without waiting for Yi Shui to answer, he continued: "If we don't finish the job before Morgan and the others raise the price of the land, then we will never be able to complete it." ”

In the absence of the use of force. Mahan didn't say the last sentence, but Yi Shui knew what he meant.

The current situation is actually very ideal, the methods that Qin Lang came up with are very effective, and now there are only a very small number of villagers who are still stranded within the scope of land acquisition and resolutely refuse to move, including patriots who oppose the establishment of concessions by foreign devils, rich people who disdain compensation, and a few speculators who inexplicably believe that the compensation will rise in the end. They are troublesome, but they are not unsolvable, and there is no need to use force......

There is no need to use force in the plans that have been made.

But the American consortium that was preparing to enter Canton Bay would sabotage the plan because they might resort to violence to settle problems that could not be solved with money - as they were accustomed to doing in the United States, with some rumors that Morgan had used 3,000 gunmen to clear the nails for him a certain piece of land, while others were told that Rockefeller had used field artillery to deal with the same problem - simple, direct, and efficient, and no one would refuse if necessary.

However, this is Canton Bay, not a state in the United States. This has two implications: first, in the concession the consortium can use force more unscrupulously, because the concession authorities will inevitably defend it; Second, if the consortium uses force, a large-scale anti-American armed riot will sweep across Guangzhou Bay like a storm, because the vast majority of Chinese will consciously defend the Chinese.

That would be a huge disaster.

"We've done a lot of things, we've wasted a lot of time and money, just to avoid an armed revolt, and I don't want a few consortia to sabotage those efforts." Mahan's expression showed that he was very worried about the situation, and the situation was indeed worrisome. "Unfortunately, I don't have much power to stop the big guys from acting on their own terms, and I can only hope that we can get rid of the residents who refuse to move as soon as possible."

Yi Shui's eyebrows were raised almost imperceptibly, but his tone was still calm, very composed, and a little curious. "You think we should start the next phase of the plan, Colonel?"

"Yes."

"I agree."

"You agree?" Mahan was amazed. He hadn't seen Yi Shui so cheerful since he arrived at Canton Bay and began expropriating the land - he was always worried that his decision would lead to a bloody conflict, despite the fact that there was no bloodshed at all. The Chinese inhabitants of the concession were neither friendly nor hostile to the American military - the vast majority of them were.

But now, it is the villagers who are hostile to the American army who need to be dealt with as soon as possible, and the next action will be much more drastic than in the past, how can he become so simple? Mahan was confused.

Yi Shui laughed. "Colonel, we all know very well what the consortium might do. So now is not the time for me to hesitate, and I have to sacrifice some people decisively in order to avoid them causing serious harm to my fellow citizens. And," he paused, then added, "it was the result of the plan, and I had figured it out after all this time. ”

However, in spite of what he said, Yi Shui still rejected the plan from the bottom of his heart, otherwise there would have been no need for Mahan to visit him, and he should have given orders to his troops as soon as he heard of Jack Morgan's arrival in Canton Bay to begin the next phase - however, the Admiral was very satisfied with his present performance, and considered it impeccable.

And there is a more in-depth representation of Yishui. "Later today, I'll give orders to the commanders, and tomorrow, we can start the final steps."

Now that Mahan's purpose had been achieved, he stood up and took his leave. "Thank you very much, Lieutenant Colonel. I look forward to getting good news soon. ”

"Of course, you'll get that good news soon, Colonel, I promise." Yi Shui also stood up and gave a military salute to Ma Han. The admiral solemnly returned a military salute and left the cabin.

Once he had gone out and closed the hatch, Yi Shui sat down again and began to seriously recall the last part of the plan. Then he took out a pen and paper, and wrote down all that came to mind—but when he had done this, he crumpled the paper and threw it into the corner of the cabin.

He still repels it very much. But now there is no other option.

"I'm sorry." With a soft sigh, Yi Shui took out the chess pieces he had put away again and started a new game. (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.) )
