Chapter 5: Noon has arrived
On a political level, Prince Klein's approach is undoubtedly a rebellion against the government.
In the relatively stable situation in the four seas, compared to the rabble of pirates, the revolutionary army has always been a major problem for the world government.
After all, the former are mere criminals who are persecuted more powerless civilians, while the latter are fanatics hostile to the legitimacy of the government and enemies of the ruling class.
As long as the leadership in the top positions is not in a bad mind, of course, it is clear which side is more dangerous.
And when this concept is put into practice, a strange political balance is formed...
The government can tolerate the continued existence of some pirate nations like the Flower Country, but it will never tolerate any island owner colluding with the Revolutionary Army!
- As for the risks, both the prince and Jermaine are well aware.
But with thousands of displaced refugees, there are not many options before them.
And since they had chosen to make an all-or-nothing gamble, of course, the two of them also prepared for the worst-case scenario - using the savings of the rebels over the years and the private property of His Royal Highness the Prince, they also bought a considerable amount of weapons in addition to medicines.
Although they were able to buy only second-hand goods that had been knocked out and refurbished, they were still a great support for the rebels who had grown in size in a short period of time.
"According to the agreement, today the other party will send the materials to the port through Haimanfu Company as before, and our people will pull the things back by train after the on-site handover."
Jermaine leaned into Klein's ear, recounting the plan in a voice that only the two of them could hear. But at this moment, there was some uneasiness in his eyes.
"Your Highness, I still feel that the amount of supplies delivered this time is too large, although the other party did not refuse our request, but the risk..."
"I understand your concern for Jermaine." Klein, who had not yet fully adjusted from the shadow of his pet's tragic death, shook his head with a wry smile, with mixed emotions in his eyes, "But now we are in a race against time, we don't know how long this illegal passage can be successfully supported, let alone how many victims will increase every day of delay, for the sake of the people, I would rather take risks." ”
"I see what you mean, but..."
Jermaine didn't finish his sentence, but his brow furrowed even tighter.
At this moment, he no longer wears the iconic cowboy hat, and the outline of his eyebrows is more angular than a few months ago, and the whole person looks a lot more mature and stable.
Klein: "Don't worry about me, for the Snoopy royal family, I'm a pawn for a political marriage, and even if my father finds out something, at least I won't break it in front of me." ”
"What's more, with you and so many like-minded companions to help, I think I will definitely be able to survive this disaster smoothly."
"Well, you apparently convinced me."
Jermaine still shook his head, but this time, there was a smile on his face - unlike all the superiors he had come into contact with before, Prince Klein had always been able to keep this compassionate and kind heart in difficult situations, and as a lamb who had been redeemed by this kindness, how could he refuse the prince's request?
The matter of transporting materials is indeed risky, but it is precisely because of this that it is more necessary for him to give advice to His Highness, rather than persuading the prince to abandon the rescue plan.
Thinking of this, Jermaine subconsciously began to plan the relevant insurance measures in his mind, but before he could sort out the general idea, the noise at the entrance of the camp attracted everyone's attention.
From where they stood, a fat man covered in blood was limping towards the crowd, his left eye had been cut with a deep wound, and it was obvious that he could no longer see anything.
But even so, the first words of this tall fat man after seeing his companion were not to ask for help for his injuries.
"Morning song! Who hurt you like this!? ”
"I'm fine... Fast! Go to the docks, Twilight him..."
Chen Ge, who had already lost too much blood, insisted on it all the way until now, and when he put down the last string in his brain, his body was even more paralyzed.
Jermaine and His Royal Highness the Prince hurriedly rushed to the front with their subordinates and dragged them to save them, but because of Chen Ge's last message, the hearts of most of the people present were immediately enveloped by a bigger shadow...
It's 9:30 a.m.
According to the agreement, the fleet of the revolutionary army carrying supplies should have docked more than an hour ago, and this time it was Twilight and Morning Song who were in charge of transporting the goods, two important cadres of the rebel army.
Now that Chen Ge is seriously injured, and then contact him for the last words before he fainted, Twilight who is still on the dock is afraid...
Klein: "Quick! Organize the manpower immediately, and we will rush to the dock immediately! ”
