012 loot
Lin Fei walked into the warehouse, turned around and asked, "Where is Chen Jingui?" โ
Chen Jingui trotted all the way over, nodded and said, "Grandpa Lin, I'm here." โ
Lin Fei pointed to the native slaves and said, "Do you speak their language?" โ
Chen Jingui smiled and said, "Of course, of course. โ
Lin Fei then said: "Okay, you translate my words to them, the Spaniards on the island have been killed by us, and from today on, you are free." โ
Chen Jingui walked in front of the natives and said something loudly, only to see those natives and slaves staring at Lin Fei in unison, with indescribable strangeness in their eyes, Lin Fei frowned, and thought in his heart: "What did this Chen Jingui say?" Why do these natives look at me so strangely? โ
Without waiting for Lin Fei to ask, I saw an old woman walking out of the natives, she walked a few steps and then fell to her knees, while muttering something like a demon while crawling in front of Lin Fei, the other natives knelt on the ground one after another, followed the old woman to Lin Fei's feet, startled Lin Fei involuntarily took two steps back, suddenly everyone stopped together, the old woman straightened up, and shouted: "Saala!" โ
The other natives shouted, "Salah! "Zahรก!" The sound was so loud that it almost lifted the roof of the warehouse, Lin Fei turned his head to look at Chen Jingui and asked, "What are they talking about?"
Chen Jingui smiled and said, "'Sa'ala' is the meaning of savior in their language, and I tell them that you are the incarnation of 'Etan God' and have come to save them. โ
Lin Fei asked, "What is the god Etan?" โ
Chen Jingui said with a smile: "The god in the legend of their tribe, this god incarnated as a mortal when they were suffering and saved the most devout believers, and the old woman who climbed at the front was the sacrifice of their tribe, and the thing she just chanted was the prayer of their tribe. โ
Lin Fei thought in his heart: "I am now the god in the hearts of the natives, this is really good, the worship of gods is the most convincing thing, these natives will be my dead soldiers in the future!" โ
Lin Fei praised Chen Jingui a few words, and then said: "You tell the local people, tonight they will stay in the warehouse for the night, and tomorrow I will arrange a new place for them to live." โ
After Chen Jingui finished saying this, Lin Fei turned his head and said to everyone: "Let's go to the ammunition depot to see the loot!" There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and the ammunition depot was actually a large warehouse with all the good things of the Spaniards.
Lin Fei led everyone to the ammunition depot, Chen Jingui suddenly screamed, which scared everyone into a tremble, Niu Dahu pointed at Chen Jingui's nose and scolded: "Chen Jingui, you kid is the hell, what are you calling?" โ
Chen Jingui pointed at Lin Fei tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Lin, how did that thing get into your hands?" โ
Lin Fei looked down at his body, didn't see anything wrong, and couldn't help laughing: "What nonsense are you talking about?" What got into my hands? โ
Chen Jingui pointed his finger at the knife on Lin Fei's waist and said, "That knife! It's not ordinary! โ
Lin Fei casually pulled out the knife he snatched from Denison and asked, "Is there anything special about this knife?" โ
Chen Jingui said: "This knife is not ordinary, before Denison retired, he once went to Mindanao in the southern Philippines to fight with Muslims, this knife was obtained from a general in the Muslim army, you look at the curvature of the blade, the pattern on the knife body, the gold wire wrapped around the knife handle, only the purest Damascus scimitar has!" It is also said to be the saber of Saladin, the great Muslim hero! There's a name, it's 'Saladin's Blade', and if this knife gets to Manila, I'll sell it to you for at least 50,000 pesos!" If you get Kolkata or Singapore, the price is higher! โ
The Damascus scimitar is known as "one of the three famous knives in the world", Lin Fei has also heard of it, but in Lin Fei's era, the sword has long since withdrawn from the world war stage, so Lin Fei has no feeling for the knife, he casually handed the knife to Chen Jingui, and said nonchalantly: "You take it to exchange for money, and you will be given a share when the time comes." โ
Chen Jingui stared at the knife directly, and reached out to take the knife away, when Sun Yong, Niu Dalong, Niu Dahu and others rushed up and said: "Lin Shangguan, money is easy to obtain, and treasure knives are hard to find, you should keep this knife." โ
Lin Fei looked at everyone's eager eyes, smiled and inserted the knife back into his belt. When everyone came to the ammunition depot, Liu Daming greeted him excitedly and said, "Lao Lin, there are too many good things in the ammunition depot, come and take a look." โ
Lin Fei led everyone into the ammunition depot, there were more than a dozen large boxes in the first room, five boxes were brand-new Mauser M1893 rifles, a total of fifty, and the remaining boxes were all yellow and clear gold-like bullets, in Lin Fei's eyes, they were more precious than gold, Lin Fei simply counted them, a total of fifteen thousand bullets, an average of only one hundred rounds per rifle, this number is not much, but it is almost enough.
The second room was filled with dried ham, corned beef, flour, coffee, and so on, enough for the crowd to eat for months; The third room was full of boxes, Lin Fei took out Saladin's Blade, pried open the box and saw that it was full of pesos, the total number was almost 300,000, Lin Fei thought to himself: "It's good now, there are guns, bullets, food, and money, and you can stand on your feet." โ
Lin Fei was thinking about it, and at a glance he saw Chen Jingui who was staring at the peso and drooling, and thought to himself: "This guy knows Spanish and indigenous languages, he is a rare talent, I have to keep him." Lin Fei then walked up to Chen Jingui and said with a smile: "Do you want this money?" โ
Chen Jingui nodded first, then shook his head again, Lin Feilang laughed loudly: "You stay and do it with me, how much do you want, I will give you as much as you want?" What do you think? Would you like to? โ
Chen Jingui stretched out three fingers tremblingly and said, "Give me three thousand pesos a month, is it okay?" โ
Lin Fei didn't know how much the value of three thousand pesos was, but he still agreed, Chen Jingui immediately smiled, Lin Fei left two people to guard the ammunition depot, and then asked Liu Daming to take people to the sugar factory and the winery, control the technicians inside, and also instructed Liu Daming that although those technicians work for the Spaniards, they are all Chinese, and they must be courteous and cannot be harmed.
Liu Daming was puzzled and said, "What is the use of sugar factories and distilleries? Isn't it clean when a fire burns it? โ
Lin Fei smiled and said, "If we want to fight the world, we have to build our own weapons, the sugar factory and the distillery are the things we started, we must protect them!" โ
Liu Daming's face was full of doubts, and he said: "Although I don't know much about making weapons, I also know that this weapon making has something to do with steelmaking and machine making, and what does it have to do with sugar making and winemaking?" โ
Lin Fei laughed and said, "It's a big deal, I don't have time to explain so much to you now, and you'll understand when the weapon comes out." โ
Liu Daming nodded, led the people to go, Lin Fei arranged for everyone to dispose of the corpse of the Spaniard, and then went to see Chiyo Mika, at this time Chiyo Mika was in the Spanish dormitory, Yu Xier accompanied her, Lin Fei took a few people to the dormitory, on the way Lin Fei asked Chen Jingui: "Do you know a Japanese businessman?" โ
Chen Jingui thought for a while and said, "I know one, what's wrong?" โ
Lin Fei didn't say anything about Chiyo Mika, because he knew that the Japanese must be mad by this incident, and if the Japanese knew their whereabouts, they would definitely kill themselves at any cost, so Lin Fei said: "It's nothing, I just asked, what kind of business did that Japanese businessman do, and how is his character?" โ
Chen Jingui said with a smile: "What he does is a triangular business, he buys the daughter of a poor family at a low price in Japan, and then sells it to Shanghai as a prostitute, and then buys tea and raw silk from Shanghai and sells it to the Philippines, and then buys sugar and rum from the Philippines and ships it back to Japan. โ
After hearing this, Lin Fei dispelled the idea of handing over Chiyo Mika to the Japanese businessman, and thought to himself: "Chiyo Mika is so beautiful, if it is sent to that merchant, it must be a sheep's mouth." At this time, Lin Fei walked to the door of the dormitory, and Sun Yong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Gun Chief, do you want to see that girl?" โ
Lin Fei nodded, and Sun Yong suddenly smiled evilly: "Gun Chief, in my opinion, you will give her to ...... I see that chick is soft and weak, and I will definitely let you fiddle with ......"
Lin Fei coughed lightly, Sun Yong laughed for a while, and said no more, Lin Fei pushed open the door and went in, only to see an oil lamp lit in the room, Chiyo Mika sitting on the edge of the bed, Yu Xier sitting under the lamp, holding a pen and writing something in the notebook, seeing Lin Fei come in and stand up, raise the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gun Chief, I learned a lot of Chinese culture today." โ
Lin Fei smiled, Yu Xier looked back at Chiyo Mika, smiled meaningfully, turned around and walked out, Lin Fei walked up to Chiyo Mika, the light spread a layer of gold on her fair face, which was extremely delicate, and her face was still with tears, Chu Chu was pitiful, and it was even more feminine.
Lin Fei sank his face and said coldly in English: "Chiyo girl, your English is very good." โ
Chiyo Mika stood up, lowered her head, helpless, and whispered, "I can only use simple words." โ
Lin Fei asked, "What did you say to Denison?" โ
Mika Chiyo said, "I only told him that I was kidnapped, and I hope he can save me." โ
Lin Fei frowned and said, "Why do you believe that he can save you?" Would you rather believe Denison, the Spanish brute, than me, right? โ
Chiyo Mika felt remorseful and bowed her head silently, Lin Fei sighed and said, "Why don't you believe me?" Am I going to hurt you? For more than ten days on the ship, none of my brothers and I were rude to you, and I didn't say anything to my brother about you betraying me, and if I did, my brother would definitely kill you, and I wouldn't be able to save you at all. โ
