218: I promised you

After setting up the score, No. 5 raised Erlang's legs and said casually: "I can promise you about this." ”

After saying this, as if nothing had happened, at most, at most it was a trivial thing, and Fifth took the coffee and tasted it slowly.

His behavior made the hearts of Archduke John and Carlos, who were waiting for him to say 'but'... It's all going crazy, okay?

But No. 5 just didn't say that, but, this is special! Archduke John and Carlos suddenly felt the urge to get into trouble.

In fact, No. 5 has no intention of saying 'but'; in his opinion, getting a batch of so-called 'advanced equipment' is really a trivial matter, and the small one cannot be a small matter, and he doesn't even need to say hello to the big boss, he can make his own decisions and agree.

Others don't know, but No. 5 can't know. The manufacturing capacity and manufacturing level on Brooks Island are absolutely superb, and the villa is even to build a batch of backward equipment that has long been obsolete, even if it is to build the most advanced equipment at present, there is no problem.

The most important thing is that Fifth knows very well that it won't take long for a large number of 'super soldiers' to arrive here from Brooks Island... Bringing a batch of 'advanced equipment' to trade with Archduke John is really a convenient thing, not troublesome at all, really not troublesome.

Of course, the choice of Number Five to directly agree to Archduke John's request here, rather than informing the big boss and agreeing to it, was also deliberate. It also has the meaning of strengthening one's own momentum and adding chips.

In any case, there is a big difference between a microphone that is useless and a microphone that can make its own decisions on some things. Five didn't want to be seen as a mouthpiece that couldn't handle anything and was useless except to talk.

Besides, Archduke John is also a big man, a great big man, at least in this land... Although No. 5 has never looked at him in his eyes, he still has to save a little face for others, especially when people come from afar to solve the problem for him, and No. 5 has to give Archduke John this face.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the 'but' on the fifth, Archduke John finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Tom, I don't know if you have any needs here?" If so, please quote me, as long as my old John can do it, no matter what, old John will not refuse. ”

This is a bit explicit, even if you don't understand the routine here, you can hear it, Grand Duke John is going to give No. 5 a little benefit, but Grand Duke John still doesn't know the specific identity of No. 5 and how big No. 5's appetite is, so he is ready to test it first.

It's a pity that Archduke John is going to be disappointed again, and the fifth really doesn't have any need for this, or it can be said that he doesn't have much desire... With Five's current physical fitness and ability, if he wants to get money, there is basically no one in this land who can stop him.

No. 5 lifted his eyelids and looked at Archduke John and said in a long tone, "Personally! I really don't have any need for it, so you can arrange something delicious and fun for me to see. ”

"Makes you smile." Archduke John: "You've come from a big place, and you haven't seen anything good." In our poor and backward land, apart from a little more land and a little more food, there is nothing good that you have never seen! However, I have a few bottles of good wine in my private collection, and when I get back, I will find someone to bring it to you for you to taste and taste. ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance." No. 5 said this lukewarmly, and continued to drink coffee nonchalantly.

Seeing the appearance of No. 5, Archduke John's heart was like fifteen buckets of water---- he really couldn't guess No. 5's thoughts, let alone whether No. 5 was satisfied or dissatisfied with his performance.

After thinking about it, Archduke John was still cheeky and continued: "Mr. Tom, let me tell you the truth! We specially, specially, especially need this batch of advanced equipment here, can you please help us think of a way to have someone send this batch of equipment to us earlier? ”

"Send it over?" Number Five deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "Archduke John, you are not mistaken! It's already hard for me to find someone to help you pour out a batch of equipment, and you still need someone to send it to you? ”

"This..." Grand Duke John looked embarrassed, how did he know that this batch of equipment was insignificant to someone Chen, let alone that No. 5 was deliberately making things difficult for him.

After a moment of silence, Archduke John showed a helpless expression on his face and said, "Why don't I send someone to the Sandwich Islands to pick up the goods?" ”

No. 5 nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay! I'll call back in advance and have someone arrange it for you. ”

"That..." Archduke John hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Tom, we are indeed in great need and in short need of advanced equipment, and if we load food and daily necessities on ships to the Sandwich Islands now, I am afraid that it will be a little too late." See if you can let us send an empty ship over to trade gear. ”

Without waiting for No. 5 to react, Archduke John hurriedly continued: "Please rest assured, at the same time that the first ship was dispatched, I immediately arranged for someone to load the goods, and I believe that the goods will be delivered to the Sandwich Islands in two or three days late, do you think this will work?" Please be able to help, thank you, thank you. ”

No. 5 pretended to think about losing to Europe: "It's not impossible, I still have heard of Archduke John's character and strength, and I myself am willing to believe Archduke John." However, the equipment you want is still quite in demand, and there are many people who need it, and there is really no precedent for such a request as yours. This is the first time for me and for us, and I'm a little embarrassed! ”

Archduke John didn't know that No. 5 was talking nonsense, he really felt that what No. 5 said made sense, but he was really waiting for rice to go to the pot, he could afford to wait, this land and the soldiers on the front line couldn't afford to wait!

In desperation, Archduke John could only say: "Please take a lot of effort, a lot of effort, if there is anything that needs our cooperation, old John will never dare to refuse." ”

"That'll do!" No. 5 pretended to be helpless and said, "Since Archduke John has said this, even if I am embarrassed by this, I can't help with this, right?" ”

Here we go again, can you ask me everything? Is it useful for me to say yes or no? Can you listen to me? Really, who did you learn these stinky problems from?

In his heart, Archduke John said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Tom, thank you, Mr. Tom, if it weren't for your willingness to help, our land would really be in a catastrophe." In this sense, Mr. Tom, you are simply the savior of all of us in this land, and even the rebirth parent of all of us! ”

"Don't, don't, don't." No. 5 said with a disgusted face: "Archduke John, don't say that, this is just an ordinary transaction that can't be ordinary anymore, don't rise to the level of a savior, I can't afford it." ”

As if he didn't see the expression of the five, Archduke John continued: "If it weren't for Mr. Tom's righteousness, who was willing to trade with us at such a time, then our land would really be hopeless!" ”

"Stop, stop!" No. 5 waved his hand with a serious face and said, "Archduke John, if you have anything to say, you don't need to bring me a high hat, and I am definitely not a noble person." ”

"This..." Archduke John pondered for a moment, pretended to be embarrassed, and said again, "Since Mr. Tom has said so, then old John is not welcome." That's right, the warship on the open sea is not yours; Could you please Mr. Tom help me talk to the commander on the battleship and ask them to escort our transport? ”

"Huh?" No. 5 frowned, and said in his heart, "Why are you waiting for me here?" This old guy still wants to let the warships on the open sea escort your family's transport ship? Do you dream of fart? If it was before, when the big boss hadn't come over, let the battleship go out and go out, and there was nothing that couldn't be beaten. But now, my big boss is staying here now, and you still want the battleship to go out and help you work? I'm also drunk, not to mention that I'm a little guard, as long as the big boss doesn't give orders, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, it doesn't matter if it's good or not. ”

Seeing the expression of the fiveth, Archduke John immediately began to beat the drum in his heart. However, the words have already been said, and the rest of the words can't be said without saying it!

Before the fifth could refute, Archduke John hurried up and said, "Listen to me, Mr. Tom, we really can't think of any other way to pin our hopes on you." You should be well aware that the sea is really not very calm right now, and if there is only one transport ship on the outside, there is basically an 80% chance that it will be targeted. And we really don't have any effective sea forces here to send out to escort them, and there is really no way to ask your warships to escort them! After all, the food and living supplies on the ship are still yours, and it shouldn't be difficult to send the battleship out for a casual walk! ”

Archduke John is a bit of a matter of course. It's just that there is also a reason why the warship led by the fourth brother has helped them escort and lead the way before.

Archduke John didn't know that Chen had come here, and he didn't know that the warships on the open sea were now tasked with protecting and supporting Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to make such a request even if he lent him ten guts.

Of course, John's part-time job is also selfish in making this request. In the heart of Archduke John, this land cannot be defended no matter what, no matter whether or not a large number of 'advanced equipment' can be traded from the fifth, it is impossible to hold it here.

The difference is just a matter of a few days earlier and a few days later, sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner or later, this land will still be conquered by the surrounding robots.

Since he couldn't change the ending, Archduke John thought of finding a way out for his family, and by the way, he took away the gold, silver, soft and other things he had accumulated here. When he is left alone, no matter when he wants to leave, it will be easier than simple and easier, right?

If it can be said that the warships on the open sea can escort the transport, and he hides his family and wealth on the ship and sends them to the Sandwich Islands together, and then finds a way to leave, this is undoubtedly the best choice for John's family who works.

If it weren't for Carlos sitting next to him, John wouldn't mind a direct showdown with No. 5, but with Carlos sitting next to him, it's different!

He started to find a way to secretly send his family and wealth away now, so that people like Carlos knew what he would think in his heart? What would you think of him? This kind of thing is definitely not good for the current situation! Archduke John, of course, could not let others know, nor did he dare to let others know.

Although his family has disappeared for a long time, he will definitely not be able to hide it from others, but if he can't find direct evidence, with the identity and status of Archduke John, and his reputation, he can still be shocked in a short time, and no one dares to attack him when there is no evidence.

And when it takes a long time, when I can't hide it... At that time, Archduke John had already left, and he didn't know where he would be then, and what he was doing so much.

Archduke John's intentions and No. 5 are certainly not clear, but even if No. 5 knew what Archduke John was thinking, he would never agree to this unreasonable request.

However, it doesn't seem too appropriate to refuse directly, many actions after the fifth still need the support and support of Archduke John, if you directly refuse Archduke John's request, Archduke John is likely to be dissatisfied with him in the future, and even give him a disobedience and lack of work, it will not be fun.

After thinking about it, the fifth hesitated and said, "Archduke John! To tell you the truth, we are really not a system with the command of the battleship, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship between the two sides... (Deliberately pausing for a moment to allow time for Archduke John to think, and then mysteriously saying) You should understand the reason here. It's not that I don't want to help, it's that it's really out of my purview. ”

Seeing Archduke John's disappointed face, the Fifth continued: "However, I am still willing to communicate with their captain for you, as for whether this matter can be done in the end, I really can't guarantee it, I can only say that I will do my best." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Archduke John said with a grateful look on his face: "It is enough that Mr. Tom is willing to speak for us, whether this matter can be done or not, old John will hurry up with Mr. John for the rest of his life." ”

Archduke John looked sincere, but Number Five just thought he was pretending... There was no reason, no reason, and it wasn't because Number Five hated Archduke John from the bottom of his heart, but he just felt that Archduke John was deliberately pretending to be sympathetic.

Well, Bo sympathy is certainly impossible... It's not that Fifth is cold-blooded and ruthless, and has no sympathy at all, but, rather, it's because Fifth never thought of asking someone to help him with Archduke John's affairs!

Those words just now were really just the casual words of the fifth in order to perfunctory Archduke John, even if they were not counted at all, and the fifth never intended to take them seriously.

Perhaps it is precisely because he is very false that Number Five thinks that Archduke John is also very fake, and he will not take what he just said seriously.

Of course, Archduke John didn't say anything of practical significance. If you think about it carefully, Archduke John has been talking for a long time, but in fact, he is just doing superficial work, and there is nothing useful at all!

Perhaps it is precisely because these two goods are the same kind of people that they will easily not believe anything others say.

Of course, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to do the work on the surface. No. 5 said with a smile on his face: "You're polite, you're too polite, Archduke John helped me a lot before, and I should help you a little now with a little favor." ”

Archduke John: "Mr. Tom is too polite, the previous things were all small things, we should do, even if we don't help, with Mr. Tom's strength and ability, there must be a way to solve the previous problems." Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Mr. Tom for not continuing to pursue his subordinates for offense and unreasonableness. ”

The two of them were pretending to be polite for a long time, not only did they not feel nausea, vomiting, or discomfort, but they became more and more energetic, and they seemed to have a feeling of meeting their old acquaintances in a foreign land... There is no one in this cultivation realm. Even Carlos, who had not spoken all this time, had the urge to cover his face.

If it was possible, Carlos was very, very, very eager to get up and turn his head away, and as he was about to leave the door, he shouted, "I don't know them at all." ”

Shame, it's a shame!

Fortunately, these two goods still have a sense of shame, and they also know that some things are too much. After the two men had complimented and praised each other for a long time, Archduke John said, "Dear Mr. Tom, I have arranged for a sumptuous feast to be prepared in the hotel, and I have asked Mr. Tom to come and taste it." ”

Five: "Archduke John, you are so polite, I am staying in this hotel, I should have invited you, how can you invite me?" ”

Archduke John: "This is my territory!" Mr. Tom is also my honored guest, as the landlord, I should be the host, how can Mr. Tom bother. ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey." is so perfunctory, but what No. 5 thinks in his heart: Is this a declaration of sovereignty to his father? Return your territory, return the friendship of the landlord? You can just talk about it now! It won't be long before this isn't your place. It's not that Dad looks down on you, just with your style and strength, even if you are given more and more powerful equipment, it won't be useless, and you still can't beat other robots, a bunch of useless waste snacks. ”

After a short time, everyone, including Five, Archduke John, Carlos, Totti and his son, as well as a group of lieutenants and retinues, entered a small banquet hall and prepared to eat... Of course, the dining table and seats are also exquisite, and it is impossible for everyone to sit with the fifth and the grand duke.

During the dinner, Totti and his son stood up several times to respectfully toast and apologize to No. 5. No. 5 pretends to be very generous and easy-going on the surface, but in his heart he has already begun to think about how to use the father and son.

At the same time, Chen and Konoe One, as well as other 'super soldiers' who had moved out of the hotel, began to look around for a place to stay.

Houses, apartments, villas, I looked at a lot of rooms in succession and didn't find a satisfactory place. At this time, the guard number one spoke, "Boss, what do you think of the captain's place?" ”

"Huh?" Chen looked back at him and said, "Is the matter over there settled?" ”

Konoshi One: "Yes boss, the captain was worried about disturbing you, so he sent me a briefing and asked me to pass it on to you." ”

Chen: "What's the situation?" Let's talk about it! ”

The reality of Konoe No. 1 briefly told the origin and recent situation of the bearded man and others, and then told the process of a group of 'super soldiers', including the captain, tracking down the bearded man and others, cleaning up the bearded man and others, and then taking down the bearded man and others.

In fact, it's very simple, the bearded man and the others are just a group of ordinary people, they have neither strong personal abilities nor strong equipment, how can they be the opponents of well-trained and well-equipped 'super soldiers'?

Basically, it can be said that it was easy and effortless to take down the beard and others.

After talking about the general situation, Konoe No. 1 continued: "The captain said in the briefing that the bearded man's nest is in a very remote fishing village, and the aborigines in the fishing village have all let the bearded man drive them away. Now the whole fishing village is populated with bearded people. The subordinates feel that that place should be more in line with the boss's requirements, especially the captain, who has now subdued the bearded man and all his subordinates, and the entire fishing village is under our control. ”

"That's it!" Chen thought for a moment and said, "The place is a good place. However, that place is too remote after all, and our next action is a little inconvenient. Now that the big man (another name for the captain of the guard) has taken control of it with his people, let's just use it as a secret base for us. ”。

Konoe No. 1 glanced at Chen with a little worry and said, "Boss, I always feel that the atmosphere in this city is a bit delicate, if something happens here, you are likely to encounter danger here!" There is an old saying in the East that the son of a daughter does not sit in the hall. Even if it weren't for yourself, for the sake of your tens of thousands of brothers, you couldn't put yourself in danger! ”

"It's hard for you to have a heart." Chen smiled and said, "But then again, if I really want to be safe, then I'll just stay on the flagship and not go anywhere." Since I'm here, I'm definitely not going to find a remote, secluded place to hide. ”
