Chapter 53: The Merciful Butcher

When Old Jack saw Albert for the first time, he was slightly disappointed, he really didn't expect that the Smith family would send such a young guy to act as a negotiator in a mediating role. Does this mean that you look down on the Krob family? Invisibly, his dislike for the Smith family was a little more.

"But this kid dares to come alone, and his courage is indeed outstanding." He thought to himself that Old Jack had lost interest in negotiating with Albert, so he sat down casually and planned to talk a few words and tell him to get out, since the Smith family chose to humiliate himself in this way, then he also decided to embarrass the Smith family.

"Hello, Mr. Jack." Albert greeted politely.

"If you have something to say, I'm an old man, and I can't stand telling young people for a long time if there is something or not, be brief, and get out of here after speaking." Old Jack replied lukewarmly.

Albert smiled slightly, he took out a family badge from his pocket, put it on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Old Jack, when Old Jack saw the golden badge, his pupils suddenly contracted, but it was only a momentary thing, and soon he regained his cold expression, but this momentary change was skillfully captured by Albert's eyes.

"Hmph." Old Jack's eyes became more and more cold, "The Smith family wants to use the Genovessa family badge to press me, it may be useful in Italy, but don't forget that this is Belgium, and the wrist of the underground black emperor is not enough here." Maybe you don't know that the Genovessa family is a mortal enemy of our Krobo. So the butler will send the guests off, I don't think I have much to talk to about this kid. ”

Tianyan gloated on the side, "The intelligence work is wrong, this guy doesn't seem to eat a hard set, you made a mistake with the first card, and then if you say the wrong thing, I guess you will have to put it in a sack and throw it into the river to feed the fish." ”

"Shut up." Albert scolded back, "I know how to do it without you having to say it." ”

Albert shook his head at Old Jack and said, "I'm not a lobbyist sent by the Smith family, I have no interest in getting involved in the conflict of interests between your two families, I took out this badge to ask you if you want to become a behemoth like the Genovessa family, equivalent to the underground emperor of a country." ”

Old Jack sneered, "What do you want, what do you don't want." Even if I say I think you alone can help something, okay kid, I'll give you three more minutes to explain your opinion, and then get out of here before I feel bad, or you won't know where you're dying. ”

"In 1922, you and your family were forced to relocate to Belgium because of Mussolini's rise to power, and after leaving their homeland, the Crobaud family grew in strength rather than weakening. At first, you kept your money running by collecting protection money from merchants, and then you opened a shell company to do fraud, and you also have your share in the underground arms market, your family's methods of doing things are indeed quite cruel, and the guys who are against you have died inexplicably, and now the Belgian underground society is both jealous and angry with the Krobbo family. ”

Old Jack raised his hand, looked at his watch, and said in a cold voice, "There are still two minutes." ”

Albert continued to take care of himself, "You also have a smart but high-flying son, who always doesn't know how to restrain himself, there is a Chinese proverb that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, which means that those who don't know how to restrain will be planted in the hands of others sooner or later, maybe now with your painstaking management, the Krob family can still walk on thin ice and not be embattled." But after a hundred years, your son will succeed you, and the Krob family will not be united to collapse? When the time comes, your red rose badge, which symbolizes the family imprint, will soon be forgotten by others. ”

"One minute left." Old Jack continued.

"If I tell you now that the Krob family has an opportunity to get the support of the government, to arbitrarily control the underground society of a country, and even to resell arms with the acquiescence of the official to turn a blind eye, would you be willing to seize such an opportunity?"

"It's time, butler, send off." Old Jack waved his hand to interrupt Albert's words, signaling that he didn't want to continue listening, Albert smiled slightly, and did not show dissatisfaction, but finally added a sentence, "I said that I am the second son of Leopold III, Prince Albert of the Belgian royal family, so what I said in my capacity, Mr. Old Jack still chose to refuse?" ”

"Wait." Old Jack turned around and stared at Albert a little stunned, "You are the Albert who has been making a fuss in Belgium recently?" ”

No matter how unscrupulous the gang is, they have to kneel when they encounter the government, let alone the royal nobles who hold real power.

Albert pulled out his chair and sat down again, admiring Old Jack's face from indifference to stunned, and asked with interest, "What's the matter, don't you believe it?" ”

"I'm interested in your words now." After confirming his identity, Old Jack's face became very fast, Albert secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, Old Jack didn't mind much, his eyes showed greed and curiosity, "I want to know how the Belgian government allows a crazy underground force to exist?" ”

Albert stretched out a finger and shook it, "Not in Belgium, in Congo." ”

"Congo?" Old Jack's face was hard to hide, "You mean, the government allowed us to deal with a bunch of damn chimpanzees in a cursed land full of all kinds of germs?" ”

Albert shook his head and corrected Old Jack's opinion, "Maybe you have some misunderstanding of the Congo, Katanga Province is the richest place in the Belgian colony, and decades ago, many white people have settled there to develop the Congo perfectly, so the current Congolese colony is no worse than Belgium." ”

"If the Krob family is willing to go to the Congo, then I will say hello to the governor of the Congo, and no one will stop you from growing poppies or selling arms there, but it must be noted that the things you are growing are free to enter Belgium, and there is one largest drug consumer on the other side of the Atlantic, and I think they should be happy to accept it. Instead of being scared here, it's better to be a real big drug lord in a place where the emperor is far away, what do you think? ”

Albert had long wanted to find a proxy in the Congo, and he knew that the Belgian government alone would not be able to quell the national liberation movement that had intensified since the 60s, so he needed a drug lord, like the Mexican drug cartel, to use poverty to control the locals, make them his thugs and vassals, and finally develop into an underground force that controlled the whole country. Those who are under the banner of the national liberation movement are not arrested by the government at will, but the drug lords do not have such ideas, and those who dare to oppose them will be brutally killed. When those blacks found that they could live in poverty, and that they would die if they fought for independence, they naturally chose the latter. Anyway, the drug lords don't mind how bad their reputation is, but the government does.

Albert didn't have the idea of making the Congo a rich colony, because that would give rise to a bunch of white-eyed wolves who didn't know how to repay their kindness, just look at the black people raised in South Africa. What he needs is all the Congolese resources to serve Belgian politics, and he doesn't bother to care about the lives or deaths of the local chimpanzees.

"But I wonder why?" After a moment's hesitation, Old Jack still asked, "Why would the royal family allow such an unscrupulous underground organization to exist?" It was well known that this would have devastating consequences for the development of the colony. ”

"Tut-tut." Albert said disdainfully, "The development of the colony? You are mistaken, Mr. Jack, Belgium's only interest in the Congo is their resources, to put it mildly, those blacks are just dispensable commodities, and their fate will never be changed from the Age of Discovery to the present, you know? And we will give them a little charity at the right time, so that this group of people can think that there is still hope for their lives. A bloody plunder is always better than a bloody plunder. ”

"As a royal family representing Belgium, you are not afraid of these inappropriate remarks getting out." Old Jack was amazed at Albert's thoughts, and at the age of thirteen, he could think of such a vicious way to drain the resources and potential of a place so that he could never develop. At the same time, Old Jack is also curious whether this young man, who vaguely shows Mussolini's cruel temperament, can bring a surprise or fright to the whole world.

"If someone accidentally says it, I still hope that someone is willing to come forward and admit who leaked it, it's better than killing everyone." Albert replied with a smile.

"You are such a merciful butcher." Old Jack quietly clenched his cane.
