Chapter 121: Old George's Strategy
(Catch up on last night's update chapter)
Using drug traffickers and gangsters to control the people of an area is a win-win cooperation for Albert, provided that he does not want the place to prosper. For example, the United States has brought down Mexico with drugs, but they are also suffering from the consequences of the massive influx of Mexican drugs into the United States, but this problem is still within their tolerance for political and strategic interests.
When the gang-gang-drug dealers are linked to politics, there will inevitably be power**, and Albert, who obviously does not want the colony to prosper, will naturally turn a blind eye to this **, anyway, he only needs all kinds of resources in the Congo, instead of raising a white-eyed wolf like the Boers.
However, this mode of control is not omnipotent, because the communist extremist forces have intervened, and the drug dealers who hang themselves have to kneel. The most terrifying thing in Colombia's rainforests is not the drug traffickers who dominate the mountains, but the elusive Maoist guerrillas. They were a group of fanatical communists, much more vicious than the gangsters. There have been incidents in which Colombian Maoist guerrillas slaughtered an entire armed force of drug traffickers, shooting them all civilians and armed men, and tying the bodies to trees for viewing afterwards.
Albert was not afraid of the rebellion of the Black Shu Mill, but he was afraid that a group of Black Shu Mill who believed in the Mao-Ze-Dong-Ideology would play the line of encircling the city in the countryside and seizing power by armed force, after all, the Mao-Xuan is the most practical rebellion Bible in the world. If you really want to put down the rebellion, you will never be able to eradicate it unless you bomb the ground or use the most inhumane weapons of mass destruction.
So when Albert knocked on the door of the Crobo family, his heart was complicated, and the fate of the Crobo family was already tied to himself. As long as Albert loses, many people will also lose their lives.
The door slowly opened, and he was greeted by a bodyguard from the Krobo family, who cautiously poked his head out to glance at Albert.
Albert said politely, "Please inform me, just say that Albert wants to see you." ”
The servant probably saw that Albert was the only one who came to visit, and there were no bodyguards or anything like that, thinking that he was just an insignificant little person, so his tone became arrogant, "I don't care who you are, wait here for me." ”
"Okay." Albert, who had already cultivated his Qi cultivation kung fu to the point of perfection, did not care at all about the arrogant look of the other party.
At the moment when the servant went to ask for his master, Albert took a look at the surroundings of the Crobaud family's mansion, although the buildings here were not as luxurious as the one in Belgium, but they were exquisitely arranged, even the walls were barbed wire and sharp fences, there was no flaw, and it was obvious that Old Jack had spent a lot of energy to toss his own safety.
Just as Albert was thinking about how to find the flaw, a hurried footsteps sounded from inside the house, and Albert knew that the main thing was coming, so he quickly tidied up his clothes and waited for the leader of the Krob family to come. However, the person who appeared in front of Albert was not Old Jack, but his eldest son, James Crowbo, who was followed by the servant who had humiliated him just now, but he lowered his head to death, afraid that Albert would recognize his face, and completely lost the arrogant look just now.
James Crobo's face was shocked when he saw Albert, he didn't expect the Belgian crown prince to suddenly appear in front of him, but he quickly returned to normal, although the crown prince certainly didn't appear to be a family affair, but his family is now an eagle dog raised by the Belgian government, and he naturally has no hesitation when he should do his best.
"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me, the largest investor? Albert said with a smile, his eyes looking up and down as he spoke, and James in a crisp suit in front of him finally didn't have the grumpy riffraff he had when they first met. On the contrary, there is a kind of maturity and stability after the convergence of the edge, and there is slowly a kind of atmosphere and calmness of the superior.
"That's not true, it's just that my father has been unwell recently and can't meet His Royal Highness Albert in person, so I ask Your Highness to forgive me." James spoke very well, which made Albert wonder what this guy had been through in the last year.
"It's okay, I'll go visit your father first, is it convenient now?" Albert asked.
James waved his hand and made a gesture of please, "Of course, the crown prince, please go this way, I will lead the way for you." ”
The road to Old Jack's room was filled with heavily armed security guards, and since the Uzi submachine gun was favored by the gangster family, Old Jack quickly made an additional order to replace all his personal weapons with this small but powerful weapon.
Everyone had a UZI submachine gun in their hands, and they looked ready for battle, which made Albert feel a little ominous in his heart, could it be that Old Jack was so sick that he was ready to leave? If this is true, then all of your previous deployments will not be wasted soon? No, Albert will never allow this to happen.
"What is your father's illness? Don't tell me that a cold makes your organization's security personnel so guarded?. Albert's tone was a little anxious.
James stopped, gave Albert a strange look, and he sighed and said, "Father is indeed sick, but not physically, but heart. ”
"Heart disease?" Albert didn't understand what could make old Jack angry.
James took another step and said in a rather helpless tone as he walked, "When you meet him, everything will understand." ”
James walked to the door of Old Jack's room, and he motioned for the bodyguards stationed to evacuate, and then knocked on the door and whispered, "Father, His Highness Albert has come down." ”
"The door is not locked, please come in." The voice coming from the other side of the door was a little hoarse, and Albert sounded like he was almost running out of oil.
The door was opened, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and the curtains in the room were tightly drawn. James knew the layout of his father's room, so he fumbled to the window and opened the curtains.
The light instantly filled the whole room, including Old Jack, who was lying on the bed with a withered look, looking at Albert hesitantly, and unlike the look he was about to die, Old Jack's eyes flashed with a strange light. Albert moved to the bed, and Old Jack reached out with a trembling hand to grab Albert. Albert took a step ahead of him and reached out to hold Old Jack's hand tightly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am now also a person who has half a foot in the coffin, I am afraid that I will not be able to do my best for the crown prince in the future." Old Jack suddenly coughed a few times, gasping for breath, and Albert quickly patted his chest for him, smoothing his breath. Unlike the scheming fox I saw a year ago, the person lying on the bed now is an old man in his last years.
"The only thing I didn't leave was that I couldn't let go of my son, the heir to the Crobo family, James." Speaking of this, Old Jack's eyes flickered slightly, and he said hesitantly, "Therefore, I have the courage to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to grant me a request." ”
"Say it." Albert was vaguely aware of what old Jack wanted to say, and secretly scolded the old fox for really trying to beat him until the last moment.
"I just want to ask that in the future, if James does anything that makes His Highness unpleasant, His Highness can spare him for the sake of the Crobo family." Old Jack finally spoke his request. Ever since he saw on TV the funeral of the former Crown Prince Baudouin, His Royal Highness Albert did not even have a sad expression, and he felt more and more afraid, afraid that Albert's methods were really cruel to the point of killing his relatives, so he specially thought of a way to pretend to be sick to get a promise from Albert's mouth.
"As long as James didn't commit a particularly serious crime, I wouldn't want his life." Albert's words are also worth scrutinizing, what kind of crime is considered particularly serious? The sentencing standard is not in Albert's hands, but for those who are loyal to him, as long as he does not make small moves behind his back, Albert will treat them preferentially.
"Okay, old fox, don't pretend to be sick in front of me, I'm here today to ask the teacher." After giving the promise, Albert immediately changed his face and asked seriously, "Why didn't you report what happened a few days ago?" Hasn't the Croboe family infiltrated from Leopoldville to other places? ”
