Chapter 349: Showdown
I looked at Sandro, and the grandson was clearly talking, and I asked him, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Sandro smiled and said, "It's not interesting, it's just that your wife, Miss Long, isn't from the Dahua Empire in the East?" I wonder if she'll ever told you about this before. ”
"Long Xin'er has left Paradise Island, and she hasn't told me about this before."
"Oh, forget it, I'm just asking. Mr. Han, I would like to ask you a question, if you were me now, how would you face the current situation? ”
Sandro has a Mr. Han on the left and a Mr. Han on the right, which politely makes me a little unaccustomed, and I don't know what this grandson wants to do, so I have to ask him cautiously: "What kind of situation are you facing now?" ”
"Why did Mr. Han knowingly ask? Caesar is the governor of Paradise Island, he led people to besiege my arsenal, and then suddenly someone killed him, even if his death has nothing to do with me, I have to give an account to the Imperial Cabinet, right? ”
"Hehe, that's not easy, the commander just told the truth, anyway, you didn't kill people."
"And how do you explain my arsenal?"
"Well, before I answer your question, I want you to answer me a question, why did you, or Duke Jackson, secretly build an arsenal on this paradise island, and what do you want to do?"
Sandro touched his bald head, laughed out loud twice, and then asked me, "Why do you think the Duke wants to build an arsenal on this island?" ”
I don't know the true purpose of Duke Jackson's establishment of a secret arsenal on Paradise Island, but from common sense, as the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, he took such a big risk to secretly establish an arsenal, except for wanting to rebel against Mo Quan and usurp the throne, I really can't think of any other suitable reason, I am a little strange, why did Sandro deliberately lead me to this topic? Could it be that he thought that he couldn't hide the secrets of the arsenal anyway, so it was better to break the jar and have a showdown with me directly? But he doesn't need this at all, huh?
I said to him, "As the commander of the Empire's expeditionary force, the Duke must have obtained the will of Her Majesty the Queen and had strategic intentions in secretly establishing an arsenal on Paradise Island. ”
Sandro laughed twice again, "It's interesting to talk to you, let me tell you, the Duke has built an arsenal on this paradise island, and Her Majesty doesn't know about it, and neither do the other high-ranking officials of the empire." ”
I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really?" So why did Duke Jackson do this? Although I don't know much about the laws of the British Empire, from the perspective of common sense, it should be illegal to secretly build a military facility such as an arsenal without the consent of the Empire, and if it is discovered, it may lose its head, right? ”
Sandro nodded, "Of course, in the British Empire, it is a felony to form an armed force without consent, let alone an arms factory, especially if it is a high-ranking person like the Duke. ”
"Then why did the Duke do this? Isn't he afraid that Her Majesty will find out? Could it be that he is secretly in the business of selling arms? But no, the Duke doesn't look like a person who is short of that money, right? ”
The more I pretended to be confused, the more speechless Sandro became, but he still said to me patiently: "Actually, Mr. Han knows very well what the purpose of the Duke is to establish the arsenal, and I have already pierced this layer of window paper almost straightforwardly, so why should Mr. Han pretend to be confused?" ”
"Well, Lord Commander, although I probably guessed the Duke's intentions, but the stakes are really high, I don't dare to talk nonsense, you said that if I guess wrong, not only will I cause trouble for myself, maybe I won't cause trouble to the Duke, I'm just an ordinary citizen of the Empire, I just want to live my own life, I don't dare to think too much."
"Why should Mr. Han be polite, since I dare to tell you this today, there must be a reason for me, Lord Duke has always appreciated you, and I really hope to get Mr. Han's help."
"The Duke admires me? Hehe, Lord Commander said with a smile, who is Lord Duke? The Duke is the Secretary of State of the British Empire and the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, and he is a powerful and wealthy man, so how can he appreciate a little man like me? ”
"If the Duke doesn't appreciate Mr. Han, how can he spend so much money to help you build a rum distillery? If the Duke doesn't appreciate you, why would he send me to spy on you all the time? ”
It was the first time I had heard such shameless remarks, and I actually said that I was appreciating me, but since I had said this, I simply spread it out, and I asked Sandro: "Then tell me, why are you spying on me?" First Tina, then Tina's sister, and then Uncle Song, what is it about me that attracts you so much? What exactly do you want to do? ”
Sandro waved his hand to signal me not to be angry, and he smiled and said, "The reason why Lord Duke asked me to send someone to spy on you is simply because Lord Duke is more interested in your identity, or more precisely, the identity of this group of people in your Boulder Camp. ”
"Interested in our identity, so you sent someone to spy on us? You killed Aya and persecuted Tina, just because you were interested in our identity? ”
"I'm afraid there was a slight misunderstanding in this, the reason why we killed Aya, and then made Tina incapacitated, was simply because we were afraid that they would leak the secrets of the arsenal, besides, they were just two cheap slaves, and we didn't hurt anyone in your boulder camp, did we?"
In Sandro's mouth, Aya and Tina are not like two people, their life and death are not worth mentioning to him at all, but then think about it, this is normal, after all, the current world is an absurd world, not only Sandro, in the eyes of most people, a slave may not be a normal person, more like an object or tool that can be disposed of at will.
I asked Sandro, "What about Uncle Song?" Why are you threatening Uncle Song to betray us? He's not trying, is he? ”
"Oh, when you talk about the birds, I'm going to explain, we just let him spy on you by the way, his main duty is to help us spy on the members of the island cabinet, especially the island governor, as for betrayal, this is also his own choice, we didn't force him."
I wanted to ask him about Uncle Song's son again, but after thinking about it, this might bring danger to Uncle Song and his son, and he shouldn't know that I knew that Uncle Song had a son, so if that's the case, it's better not to ask for the time being, and wait until I find Old Song to ask about the real situation before making plans.
"The past of the Commander, Lord Commander, is over, and I don't want to say anything more, I want to know now, what is the purpose of you telling me so much now?"
"Quite simply, we want you to tell us who you really are and where you come from, and be willing to follow the Duke."
"Real identity? What real identity? Aren't we the natives of Paradise Island? Where do other identities come from? ”
"Oh, Mr. Han, do we have to go around in circles like this? Do you think we haven't gained anything for so long? ”
"If you have something to gain, why bother to ask me more? I can tell you that what you know is true. ”
Speaking of which, the scene in the room was slightly awkward, as if both sides had broken through, and it seemed that nothing had been said.
