Devil's Island. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In San Francisco, there is a Devil's Island prison, but Qin Lang also named the island he rented from Mexico after that, and he couldn't remember and didn't want to remember its Spanish name...... Perhaps, in fact, it did not have a name at all, and the Baja California government only gave it a temporary name because someone wanted to lease it.

But who knows......

In the waters a few dozen meters away from Devil's Island, the "Agility" dropped anchor and then lowered two dinghys.

Qin Lang was the first to jump into the dinghy, followed by Yi Shui, Claude, and a man named Paul. Madsen's construction contractor, six Umbrella mercenaries, and some supplies were put into the dinghy. The mercenaries then swung their oars and rowed the dinghy towards Devil's Island.

A few dozen meters was not far away, and soon, the dinghy paddled onto the beach, and then a few mercenaries and Mexicans in overalls ran over.

"Eugene, how's the situation on the island?" Claude shouted first. Eugene. Smith is the commander of the mercenary unit responsible for security on the island, a retired Marine, and quite coincidentally, Claude commanded his platoon before he retired.

For his past prefect, Eugene. Smith showed considerable respect. "It's all right, sir." He gave him a military salute, "Those bitter ...... The Chinese work very hard. ”

He originally wanted to talk about "coolies", but Qin Lang and Yi Shui are both here now, so Eugene. Smith had no choice but to temporarily change his words to "Chinese". Of course, Qin Lang and Yi Shui both noticed it, but they pretended not to hear anything.

"How's the camp going?" Qin Lang went to Devil's Island for only one purpose: to inspect the progress of various foundation projects.

Thanks to Henry. According to the decree signed by Markham, the number of Chinese recruited by the Phoenix Environmental Protection Technology Research Center has increased to 700, half of which will be sent to Devil's Island, and the San Diego government and state government will be dissatisfied if the various infrastructure is not completed as soon as possible.

"The small dock will be finished tomorrow, and the warehouse and lab will have to wait another six days, but the other facilities will be at least fifteen days before they are operational, boss."

"Mr. Smith, the project is already behind schedule."

"I'm sorry, boss, but there's nothing we can do." Eugene. Smith reluctantly said, "Because you insist on building all kinds of buildings with reinforced concrete, the project can't keep up." Those Chinese—"

"I don't care, Mr. Smith, I only care about the progress of the project, and as for how to catch up with the schedule, you are responsible for figuring out how to do it." Then Qin Lang turned to the construction contractor beside him, "And you, Mr. Madsen." Please note that if the work is not completed on time, you will lose half of the project price according to the contract. ”

"My people will definitely work harder, Mr. Qin Lang." That's exactly what he meant. Just Paul. Madsen was very upset, he was becoming more and more disgusted with Qin Lang and his young and beautiful partner, Rachel. Miss McBride.

Both of them are devils, there's no doubt about that. When it came time to negotiate the contract, they tried desperately to keep the price down, and when it came time to actually work, the project was ridiculously difficult. What's worse is that when he tried to break the contract, he found that the entire contract was full of terms that were favorable to Qin Lang and Rachel.

It was his own negligence. Recalling the scene when the contract was signed, Paul. Madsen found that his attention was completely focused on Rachel at that time, and as for what she and Qin Lang were talking about, he didn't even know at all......

Anyway, he was tempted by a woman and fell into a trap, and now he can only act according to Qin Lang's command. Of course, he had made a solemn oath to God that he would move the company out of San Diego as soon as the project was over.

Qin Lang didn't know what he was thinking—of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care—and he was admiring the architecture on the island with satisfied eyes. Although the work was significantly behind schedule, he must admit that, at least for the exterior of the building, Madsen's workers and Chinese were doing a decent job.

Of course, it's only cosmetic......

Qin Lang walked towards the small wharf that was about to be completed, and now he wanted to check the quality of the work.

There are not many buildings on the island, if not very little, except for a small dock, a food warehouse, a chemical warehouse, a chemical laboratory, two dormitories for a total of 600 people, a command center for mercenaries and chemical technicians, and ancillary facilities such as cisterns, boiler rooms, public baths, kitchens and toilets.

Then there were five more pillboxes: two on the pier, one near the chemical laboratory, and the remaining two on the commanding heights of the island.

Due to the tight schedule, only these facilities can be built for the time being. However, he already has plans to add other facilities to the island, including a freezer and a power plant. And for a while, Qin Lang even considered whether he should install a few three-inch guns on the island.

But he hasn't made a decision yet. After all, now he has not yet found a channel for the purchase of three-inch naval guns; Another problem is that the mercenaries have more than a dozen Browning "potato diggers" to deal with most of the threats that are currently possible.

And for threats that can't be handled, such as the Mexican Navy or the U.S. Coast Guard, even a few three-inch guns installed on the island, it won't help.

"Now I just hope that this island doesn't interest the Mexican Navy or the Coast Guard." He sighed, and then began to inspect the bunker on the west side of the dock.

The bunker on Devil's Island is not a two- or three-story target as is common in Chinese anti-Japanese war films, but a circular fortification with a low shape and a wall 50 centimeters thick. The quality of its construction was almost as good as its appearance - at least Qin Lang thought it was of good quality - and the firepower range was also very open, and if it was combined with the pillboxes on the east side, the mercenaries could blockade the entire dock with only two machine guns.

And in fact, there will be three machine guns in each pillbox, which can fire in three directions at the same time.

"Without artillery support, it would be impossible for anyone to break through the fire blockade formed by these two pillboxes." Claude also had a good assessment of the two bunkers, "Boss, have you designed a similar defense system?" He asked Qin Lang.

"Nope."

"It really surprised me, boss." He was indeed surprised.

"It's just a little bit of a joke, Mr. Claude." Qin Lang shrugged. He was not satisfied with the defense system of Devil's Island. If possible, he also added trenches, barbed wire, bunkers and side-firing points, and laid mines in all dead corners. However, he didn't need a well-defended, fortified fortress, so these facilities were completely unnecessary.

After all, the problem remains the same: the Mexican Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard are the only ones capable of breaking through the first line of blockade on the pier, and at that point, continuing to defend Devil's Island is completely unnecessary.

There are governments that are simply not something that an arms dealer can resist.

"Anyway, that's it, let's move on." Qin began to walk towards the next location, and the others followed closely behind him—except for Yi Shui. He stopped on the dock for a moment before quickly running up to him.

"There's a problem, Qin Lang," he said, "the water depth at the dock is a little shallower, and if it's low tide, the 'Agility' can't dock." ”

Qin Lang stopped advancing. He first threw an angry face on the embarrassed Paul. Madsen then fell into deep thought. After a while, he announced, "Then we'll have to rent a smaller ship." ”

"Need to go to Los Angeles?"

"Yes, easy water." He nodded, "After we're done inspecting the buildings on the island." After careful consideration, he really should go to Los Angeles again besides looking for a new ship. He also had to find some suitable first-time agents for the company's internal investigations department.

Maybe...... Kelly. Johnson can give him some advice.

Yi Shui looked at his watch. "If you're going to Los Angeles, you've got to move fast. I don't want to run into a Coast Guard patrol ship in the Port of Los Angeles. ”

"Of course." Qin Lang walked forward again and significantly quickened his pace.

An hour later, he was on his route to Los Angeles.
