Chapter 258: Orrosa (5)
Poseidon Island's "Masoye" members, when necessary, communicate with each other in "their own language", that is, in black - "everything is normal" means that things are going well; Happy Birthday to Hypton's Little Beauty, which means that the ship called "Little Beauty", which transports smuggled goods or drugs, has arrived safely in Hypton; The title of the song with time is used to imply the exact moment of an escape; "Drunkards" represent police officers who cannot be bought; The "dirty stuff" is gold; Someone said to a jail black// gangster, "Get you a sapphire." Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that he should be dressed up, "Sapphire" represents parole in black words, which means that the thug is not far from "waking up".
The gangsters in the north also have their own black words, when they say that they want to get some "sherbet", they do not go to restaurants, but to seek revenge and cause trouble, because "sherbet" represents blood, and because of this, people who kill people or are seriously injured by them "wet hands", and people with "wet hands" will need a lot of "lubricating oil" to "travel", so that they will not be "pierced by knives" and thrown into the "emperor's palace" wearing "bracelets".
Of course, the people of the south and the north cannot talk about going together, although there are parts in their black words, but who will go to be intimate with their enemies.
But Father Peter couldn't just shout out his doubts, and the priest was a shameless and daring man, but he didn't want to turn himself into a free radio station that everyone could listen to.
When Father Peter asked Orrosa about the mosquitoes, he was actually asking the northerners who had gathered here to be justified in his fears, the arms in containers, and the large number of thugs that had been summoned, even if there was a government guarantee, who knew if Madame Clovin would suddenly go insane - the priest replied that it was both for money and for the northerners, who were about to go to war with another region. It would have been dangerous and ridiculous to be misunderstood by "Masoye" because of this, and then Father Peter tried to ask how long the war was likely to last, and the priest told him that the priest wanted to know the cause of the war. Hey, this is not within the scope of ordinary news, and selling this news is likely to anger Mrs. Cloven, if the people of Poseidon Island want to know, go and investigate for themselves, anyway, it can't come out of the priest's mouth, as for the so-called effective time, the priest has extended it by two times, and he can shirk it when asked-because this war will break out in three months. But he wasn't lying, because the news would be known in three months, let alone six months later.
Konstantin's message to them was. Forty-eight hours later, he would bring them diamonds worth 200 million yuan - the payment was 100 million yuan, yes, but he had to exchange these diamonds for money than the Sandi family, and for the sake of "those people", the handling fee was very low. But definitely yes.
In order to make the most of their manpower, Beelzebub and Sasha were placed in a two-bedroom family suite, and when Father Peter returned, the two boys were sniffing out the living room...... Well, do your homework. On this business trip, they brought suitcases of textbooks and workbooks, as well as a few dozen test papers. Father Peter really wanted to see what the Yankees who were secretly checking their luggage would look like when they saw this.
Father Peter and Beelzebub said about the day, "You can go out and have fun," he said, "We are all safe until the government gets the money."
Outside there were large masses of mosquitoes, and for some reason, Beelzebub's blood was particularly appealing to them, but like most boys. If they had to choose between doing their homework and going out, they would definitely choose the latter.
"We're going out tomorrow," Sasha said, "and let's do another reading exercise today."
Father Peter shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands as Beelzebub came to see him, indicating that there was nothing he could do. He didn't take the ACT, he didn't take the SAT.
"I'm sure I'm the first wretched creature to do my homework while I do business," Beelzebub said, but he only jokingly complained, "Shall we read the book?"
"Look at the required reading list required by the school," Sasha searched, "I brought it, look at this book, it's very appropriate, "Lord of the Flies." ”
"The Devil's Tale?"
"Almost." Sasha said he read the book in his father's memory when he was six years old.
"How does it feel?"
"It's not good," Sasha honestly admits, "and many people feel like crying after reading this book."
Beelzebub looked at him, "I thought we should read a more light-hearted book, given what we're doing. ”
While Sasha was looking for another book, Beelzebub suddenly changed his mind—"No," he said, "let's read the Lord of the Flies."
The book is only 130,000 words, Beelzebub and Sashatou read it with their heads on their heads, it is not so much a book about demons as it is a book about how a group of teenage children fall into demons step by step, and the whole book presents a dark, chaotic and desperate scene, from shallow to deep, and finally thick like a filthy swamp - the main character Ralph is rescued at the end, he is not killed, and the other living children are able to return to civilization, but- Is this really the end of it?
"They were so happy when they killed their companions," said Beelzebub, "and they killed three men, stuck the boar and their companion's heads on their stakes, and at last they were able to go home in good shape."
"That's why we're creepy." Sasha said that if the captain who had a resolute temperament and dared to follow the advice of the doctor and shoot all the routs who had eaten people was on that island, he would have not hesitated to order the killing of all the children, just as the rout was no longer human, and those children were just beasts.
Sasha looked down and flipped through the book: "You said they killed three people. I remember only Simon and Piggy?"
"And Ralph," Beelzebub said, "Ralph is dead."
He changed his position, lay down, put his head on Sasha's lap, and rested his feet on the armrests: "Forget it, let's think about it in a happy place, it's not a big deal if a group of children kill a few people, and at the beginning of the book, it says that there is a nuclear war in the world, how many people will die, millions, tens of millions?" He said with interest, "Guess what I came up with?" Sasha, we ruined Abby's children's boxing match, but Konstantin took it, we may have saved thousands of people, but we brought them hundreds of millions of dollars in arms, and the war broke out, even if it was only in a small area, how many people would die because of the contents of those metal boxes?"
"That's exactly what 'those guys' are...... Something to hope for. Sasha said, looking at the scrambler on the table, the light on which was flashing, indicating that it was working, to make sure that any conversation in this room would not be eavesdropped: "Do you know why so many regions and countries are willing to join the Federation?" It is because the Commonwealth has established a bill at the beginning of its establishment, and any rights that have not been granted to the federal government by the members of the Federation, and the Constitution does not prohibit them from having these rights, they will continue to belong to the members of the Federation and the rights of the people - the Constitution of the Federation has always been silent on whether regions and countries can secede from the Federation, and the regions and countries that have joined the Federation have never given the right to suppress secession to the Federal Government, so once they want to secede, they can secede, which is legal, The Federation can neither sanction nor prevent, let alone use force. ”
Beelzebub's eyes widened.
"Further north of Orrosa is a vast area of nearly three million square miles, 80 percent of the continuous permafrost, 15 percent of the isolated discontinuous permafrost, the average temperature is zero, the lowest can be minus 80 degrees, that is the super low temperature that can freeze and crack steel, the land is barren and inaccessible to people - but it is rich, diamonds, gold, carbon, natural gas, tin, ferrous metals, other non-ferrous and rare metals, and 10.3 billion cubic meters of timber can be harvested. There is also an abundance of animal resources - in times of war, only the Federation can provide it with food, medicine and fuel...... And so on, but now is the time of peace, it can buy it on its own, and there are countless people who are willing to do business with them. ”
"They don't need the Federation anymore."
"But the Federation still needs them, very much." "It can secede from the Union, but it will require a referendum – if their government does not show the ability and confidence to support an independent state, their people will not agree to it—for example, prices that have never stabilized, banks that have failed, corrupt officials, inter-ethnic conflicts, strikes that sweep the whole district, weak and timid armies and police, and mass fires between illegal groups – like this one."
"These are federal ...... Controlled?"
"Not necessarily, but 'those people' will be overjoyed to see this," said Sasha, "—look, Beelzebub, this is no longer something we can interfere with, for the state apparatus is always unstoppable when it is activated, and even a hundred 'masoya' standing in the way may not be able to make it jolt."
"I know," said Beelzebub, "that the deal must be done, and if we don't do it, someone else will do it, but I am not comforted by it."
"If you really feel very uncomfortable," said Sasha, "I have a solution, and that is to go a little longer."
"What's the solution?"
"Become the president of the Federation."
