Chapter 79: Who the hell is it
The confrontation between James and Sandro in front of the boulder camp exposed too much information, except for Tina, an undercover agent, who was found out, all kinds of things remind us that there is another undercover agent. It's just that Tina's undercover identity is relatively easy to guess and understand, and the identity of the other undercover agent is not easy to determine.
As Uncle Song said, these people in the Boulder Camp have been fighting the sea since they were unable to come, from complete strangers to gradually acquaintances, everyone overcame the fear and anxiety in the early days of the shipwreck, and worked hard to survive on the island with their own hands and wisdom.
The people in the room looked at each other, and no one spoke, and no one knew what to say.
Sister Hongmei was the first to break the silence and said, "Old Song, will there be no undercover agents among us at all?" It's all James, they deliberately made up nonsense? ”
Uncle Song shook his head and said: "Unlikely, Sandro knows everything about us, James is also very familiar with everything about us, Sandro has Tina as eyeliner, so how can James not have eyeliner?" We believed that Tina before, and now we have to suffer the same loss? ”
"I know, but Tina is Tina after all, we people..."
I saw that the big guys were worried and at a loss, so I stood up and said: "Let's do it, let's put the matter of another undercover agent between us for the time being, anyway, we can't find out the reason for a while and a half, and if there is really such an undercover agent, the secret on our side is estimated to have been leaked a long time ago." I only have one thing to say about this undercover agent, no matter what purpose you choose to betray everyone, I hope you can have a minimum bottom line and conscience. Okay, Big Bear, tell me how James helped us out of the siege and how he got out on his own. ”
Big Bear collected his emotions and said: "James's grandson rushed to the camp with his men, and then in front of so many people, he had a wonderful and fierce confrontation with the big bald head Sandro, and finally ended in Sandro's defeat. After Sandro left, James didn't stay long, he just asked us to tell you, I hope you can go to the Doge's Palace to talk to him yourself, he promises not only to clear your name, but also to give you more opportunities to show your skills. ”
After listening to Da Xiong's words, I couldn't help but smile and say, "This grandson is here again?" When Duke Jackson came to the island, he took the initiative to throw an olive branch to cooperate, but as a result, he demolished the bridge when he crossed the river, scolded the cook when he was full, and wanted to come twice with the same routine, is he stupid, or am I stupid? ”
Lin Ruyi disagreed with me, she said: "Don't you think that the current James is completely different from the James we saw at the beginning? I don't know exactly what he's been through, but it's certain that he's more poised and well-established now than he was before. We need to go to Pelican Island to pick up Uncle Wei and them now, and at the same time, we also have to think about the future life, Han Dong's distillery can only do some scattered domestic trade so far, the consumption power of the island people is limited, and the other territories of the empire are facing the problem of transportation cycle and high transportation costs, and the foreign trade license has not come down for a long time, so the distillery will not be profitable at all, the wages of the workers, and the interest on the loan from the duke can slowly drag the distillery down, we must think of a way, but no matter what way we think, It may all be without James's support, after all, he is the governor of the island, and the methods we can think of at the moment such as trading with pirates are not legal, and if we can get his acquiescence or even cover, things will be much easier. ”
"But James, he's the Governor of the Islands, will he support us in trading with pirates?" Su Yuliu asked weakly.
"Nothing is impossible, James already knows that we have been in contact with Sister Hua, and if he wants to arrest us, he can arrest us at any time, but instead of doing this, he also took the initiative to interrogate Mathieson's subordinates to prove Han Dong's innocence, which shows that he has some other ideas." Lin Ruyi replied.
"Well," I also nodded in agreement, "James's situation is not very good at the moment, he and Sandro tore his face, in fact, it is equivalent to indirectly tearing his face with Duke Jackson, this alone is enough for him to have a headache, and Matthison's death, no matter how he explains it, how he shirks, even if Count Soros does not pursue it for the time being, it is difficult to guarantee that he will wear small shoes in the future, so he must find a way to protect himself." As soon as Mathieson died, his tobacco company had to close down temporarily, and the rum distillery became the only factory on the island, if the rum distillery could become bigger and stronger, the island's tax revenue would also rise, and the island government would have the money to invest more in the construction of infrastructure on the ground, and it would dare to do more economic development planning. An earl. If James' grandson can think the same way, then I can really go and have a good talk with him. ”
After a bit of gossip, it was decided that I should go to the Governor's Palace.
After returning to the camp, Sandro sat down on a chair with mixed feelings, and the adjutant next to him hurriedly arrived and handed over the glass of water.
"Lord Commander, you really opened the eyes of your subordinates today."
"What is eye-opening and not eye-opening, if it weren't for the duke's early lineing, we would have been toyed with in the palm of our hands."
"It's a pity that Tina was exposed prematurely."
"Premature exposure? I don't think that Tina's identity can't be hidden no matter what today, maybe Tina's every move before has long been under the surveillance of others", Tina has long been a discounted chess piece. And although Tina's identity was exposed, they also successfully shifted their attention to James's side, and the birdies would be safer for the time being. ”
"Well, I'm afraid even James didn't expect that in addition to Tina's chess piece, we also have a dark chess piece, and the identity of this dark chess piece is something they can't think of anyway."
"There are no absolute things in this world, and those people behind James are not simple, so let the bird be extremely cautious in the future."
"It's the Commander! By the way, Mathiessen's matter, I wonder how the Commander is going to report to the Duke? James will definitely bite to the death is the shot fired by our people. ”
"This is really a headache for me, although we have our backs to the Duke, but Count Soros is not an ordinary nobleman after all, if there is a trouble, the Duke is not so easy to deal with, so we have to think about how to get rid of the responsibility. By the way, when it comes to Mathieson, I think about it, did the person who fired the gun investigate clearly? ”
"Not yet, at that time, everyone's attention was on the boat on the sea, and no one paid attention to who suddenly fired the gun from somewhere. However, there are two points worth noting, first, the gunman fired a total of two shots, both of which were killed by one shot, indicating that the gunman's marksmanship was very accurate and well-prepared, and it was unlikely that he fired a random gun, and secondly, his marksmanship was so accurate, but every time he only shot other pirates, and did not shoot the leader, it shows that he was just to provoke the leading pirate, so that he could kill Mattiessen with his hand, so that so many island people watched Matthieson die at the hands of pirates, who wanted to see it the most, and who did not want to see it the most, it is worth our careful consideration. ”
