The sea boat that quietly contacted took the middle-aged man to the vast boy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At first, the boss of the info boat felt that this person was definitely not an ordinary kind of fugitive person, and it seemed very unusual just by his temperament and conversation. But it didn't take long for Mei Yi to have no abnormal words and actions, which naturally eliminated the doubts in the boss's heart. In fact, Mei Yi didn't say much since he got on the boat. Now, just to talk to the boss about the island he wants to go back to, he said a few more words. The boss scratched the back of his head for a long time, and he didn't know which island in the South China Sea Mei Yi was talking about, so he didn't want to, but persuaded Mei Yi to find a good island, whichever one is fine, as long as he has enough silver taels on his body, he can continue to travel without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Mei Yi can be regarded as having coped with it with a haha. When the boss talked about the difficulty of running the boat, he naturally talked about whether it was those passes to pass through at sea. It's really strange that there are still passes on the sea? The boss said that some of the islands and the narrow waterways between the mainland were no different from the passes on land. In the past, most of these places were occupied by pirates and engaged in robbery. Recently, however, an army of people came near a approaching waterway, inspecting the ships and collecting taxes. Fortunately, the army of the Fan people is better than that of the pirates, and the amount of taxes that are said to be good is fixed, and the pirates are hungry and do not choose to eat, or they still have to take a few lives. The boss looked at the horizon and said that the islands would be there in half a day at most.

The boss couldn't tell what the islands were called, because basically the islands didn't have names, and one of the larger ones was called Xinke Island, which was pronounced by the locals, and so was the name of the people who came and went. The boss instructed the bookkeeper on the ship, a half-old man who could barely stand on his feet, to prepare the silver taels on the ship and exchange them for paper money in advance when he arrived at Xinke Island, so as not to delay the payment of taxes and make it difficult to get out of the customs. Originally, when passing ships passing through Shinke Island, they had to make a transaction with the so-called bank of the Ban people in advance, exchange paper money according to the proportion of the Fan people, and then hand over the sea tax card handled by the military. The people have to collect taxes and deduct them when exchanging, but because of the support of the army, the ships will also recognize these practices, after all, if you don't go here, you will have to detour to other waters, then you may drift at sea for a long time, who knows what bad weather will be encountered at that time. Mr. Bookkeeper heard the boss say this, and interjected, he didn't allow the boatman to go to other waterways nearby. Mei Yi responded, no different from a robber, after all, it is a place outside the world. The bookkeeper snorted, what can he do. Today, the court has to borrow the power of people to suppress bandits! Although the regimental training Qiyong also broke through the eighteenth Hong, in the end, it was not to return to the station or disband on the spot, and give some territory of Nanjing to the Fan people according to the requirements of the Fan people? Mei Yi thought to himself why he didn't know, the boss saw Mei Yi's doubts, and said that the account room was from Nanjing to the small city of Haijiang to join his relatives, how do he know that the world is hot and cold, relatives and friends do not recognize it, so they have to live on the street, and finally throw themselves into the water and are rescued by the boss who unloads the goods on the dock. Mr. Bookkeeper said that along the way, he heard rumors that the minister of the court suddenly took the initiative to contact the people for some reason, and he knew that they were the ones who jumped to ban the middle and middle schools in the past. In this way, the court finally signed an agreement with Fanren. When he escaped from Nanjing, the gunboats of the Fanren were already rampant on the Jinjiang River.

Mei Yi was depressed, and the boat boss warmly invited him, so he had a few drinks with the boss, and the journey was really tiring and fell asleep. By the time I woke up, the sun was almost at the top of the mast. The bookkeeper on the ship had already gone to Fanren to exchange paper money with the boats that came and went, and Mei Yi saw the so-called Xinke Island in the direction of the bow of the boat from a distance. Just by looking at it, Mei Yi felt a fainting. Dizzy, there is a mixture of joy and sorrow in my heart. Happily, this island is not somewhere else, or the place where he wants to escape from the pursuit and surveillance, the island where he has stayed since he was a child. Sadly, decades have passed, things are not people, and people are everywhere, but I am afraid that there is no place for him on this island. Seeing that his body was trembling and unstable, the boss came over and patted him on the shoulder and beckoned him to go to the island. Mei Yi hesitated, and was already dragged by the boss to board the boat. As the dinghy approached the land, Mei Yi noticed that a few decades ago, Xinke Island was not so big, and the cliff head where he often stood and looked at it from a distance was by the sea. However, the cliff in front of you is already far within the coastline, and the exposed beach is linked to the cluttered reef. There are a few islands in the distance, which were not available in the past. In doubt, the boat arrived at the dock that the Fan people had set up temporarily, and the boss and his party wanted to buy some local specialties, and he told Mei Yi not to leave the dock too far, and soon they would leave to continue sailing. Mei Yi still paced slowly along the dock alone, and his eyes were attracted for a short time. The timber used to build the pier looks like a makeshift patchwork, with a sketched font on it. The word Ke that Mei Yi saw stung Mei Yi's eyes and heart. Mei Yi's tears fell from the corners of her wrinkled eyes. A gurgling shout came from behind him, and Mei Yi's back was blocked by something sharp. Several red-haired and blue-eyed people surrounded Mei Yi, and their attitudes were extremely arrogant and pushed Mei Yi towards the slope. Mei Yi knew this road, and the Ke family's house was at the end of this road. A few people came panting behind him, and the boat boss and the fan people were entangled, and he took out a booklet from his arms and gestured. The man brutally stopped the boss of the boat, and the leader took out a musket with a short handle and aimed it at the boss, driving the boss away. The boss was helpless, so he could only shout a few times, and after Mr. couldn't help it, he watched Mei Yi being escorted away.

Bobby has been on the island for a few days. To his dismay, he really did not see the significance of the occupation by the Government of the United States. Even if it is a tax collection, can those taxes be consumed by the army here? Fortunately, although he was a black soldier and a non-combatant, Bobby tried his best to serve the food and drink of these white soldiers, who might be considered partners, which won the understanding and favor of many people, and Bobby got along with them. After everyone got acquainted with each other, Bobby realized that in fact, those GIs were just the color of their skin was different from Bobby, and the family's economic situation was basically the same. Many partners said that if it was a young master in any factory, the ghost would be willing to come to the army to suffer this living crime. Everyone has a lot of ideals, but they don't have the money to realize them, so they came to join the army first, after all, life is the biggest reality. Soon, some of these outrageous but easy-going companions will no longer be able to achieve their dreams. First of all, there were individual disappearances in the barracks, and the captains felt that someone must have become deserters, but where could they escape to the vast sea around them. Then, in a crack in the reef by the sea, fragments of the missing soldier's body were found. Under the hard work, it is also incomplete. One, two, three, the number of missing soldiers is slowly growing. In order to prevent the soldiers from panicking, the captains reluctantly made up an explanation, announcing every few days that several more soldiers had been sent on a mission to the ancient empire in the north. This can only coax a three-year-old child, and there is no transport ship to leave the island, how can any soldiers be sent to the north? Bobby could only sympathize with these companions who still had the duty to stand guard every day, and now it seemed that it was a happy thing to stay in the kitchen.

It is true that the armies of the United States did not passively accept the continuation of this panic, and they began to spy on it. At first, it was suspected that there was a secret resistance force on the island, and that it was these people who were constantly provoking the United States army. However, after a long period of arrest, many residents of the island were interrogated, but they were not found at all. The inhabitants of the island, who are honest and duty-bound, could not have committed such a crime. Then it could be pirates, this is the second possibility, sending warships to search in the surrounding waters also yielded no results. Fearing the fighting power of the army, the pirates have long fled to other seas to do evil, and the disappearances continue. Although there seemed to be nothing unusual on the island, panic had long since spread throughout the barracks, and the GIs did not dare to go out alone, especially at night. All Bobby hears every day is that patrols are fruitless, but disappearances are still happening. After a long time, this is not news. Dozens of people are missing and dead, which is obviously an unacceptable figure. No matter how much the commander-in-chief lost his temper at the captains, it was to no avail. He ordered a strict inventory of ships passing through the waters near the island, and any suspicious person was immediately arrested and sent to the headquarters. Today, Bobby hears from his partner on duty that a guy with a strange hairstyle has been arrested, and this weirdo is looking left and right on the beach. This person does not belong to any of the boats, as he is not on the list.

Mei Yi didn't guess wrong, after walking this path, the end was the former Ke family. The foundation that was built simply because of the ugliness, and the houses built with wood on the island have long been outdated, which can give Mei Yi a deep sentimentality for freedom, and this sentimentality is so deep that the leader of the Fan people scolded Mei Yi sharply, but Mei Yi didn't hear it. The Fanren soldier behind him smashed the butt of the gun against the crook of Mei Yi's leg, Mei Yi fell to the ground, and he suddenly remembered the Fanren arm that fell after the knife fell when he was still in a small city in Haijiang. Mei Yi, who was screaming in pain and sentimentality, suddenly started to go crazy, he broke free from the rope that bound him, stood up and roared wildly, and pounced on the leader of the fanren. The soldiers in the headquarters panicked and picked up the rifles in their hands, but the indoor space was limited, and shooting indiscriminately could only injure innocents, and they couldn't shoot for a while. To make matters worse, the commander was in the hands of the madmen. To be exact, the weirdo turned into a monster. The head became nearly triangular, the skin became fair, and the body was tall, with well-developed muscles piercing the clothes outside. The monster didn't need to go out through the main entrance at all, he easily left the house with the commander and ran towards the seaside, the soldiers couldn't catch up at all, and could only watch the commander be taken away. When the monster reached the edge of a cliff, he jumped down with a little hesitation, landed on the reef, and then burrowed into the sea as if he were walking, and disappeared in an instant. The army of the United States suffered a complete defeat, as the commander was captured in full view of the public, and it was highly likely that he would die.

The congressional discussion finally caused Jackson to lose his patience, and he was short of breath. The health care doctor brought from the presidential palace noticed this and advised him to leave the venue to rest. Jackson's face was relieved, and he left the meeting hall with the help of his entourage, and sat down on the sofa in the lounge between the corridors. Without the annoying arguments of the councillors, Jackson felt much better, he tilted his head and involuntarily lit a cigar, and the expected health care doctor came to persuade him, Jackson looked disgusted, but he could only put down his cigarette. From the beginning of the campaign, Jackson was advised by his team to leave a strong and good image to the voters who supported him, and that the expanding country needed a leader who could not be a sissy or a sick egg, so Jackson could only say goodbye to many of his former hobbies, and those habits were considered extremely bad by doctors almost without exception, and they advised the president to resolutely quit. Jackson was annoyed by them, and his men made appropriate concessions, and Mr. President could recover properly in private. Thinking that he would have to go into the conference hall for a moment to endure the nagging and noise, Jackson muttered a curse and stared at the snuffed out cigar.

There is no essential difference between the issues debated in Congress, and the focus of the debate is really only the way to solve the problem. Some members of parliament believe that the United States could expand its territory in other directions, so why spend all that unnecessary money. On the other hand, the councillor directly said that the frozen land that the Voloth Empire claimed to sell was actually frighteningly cheap, and if you did a careful calculation, you would know that it was only a few cents per acre of land. A statement by a parliamentarian in favour of the purchase of land has been renewed. In his view, there really was no reason for the United States to buy the wasteland of Volos, if it had not considered anything else. However, if the United States had such a large enclave there, it would be possible to see the territory of the Voloth Empire not far away across the strait. Pointing to the map, he asked the parliamentarians, "Can any of you guarantee that our country will not need a new breakthrough in this direction in the future?" No one answered, and the silence was interrupted by applause from the president who pushed the door in, and the president praised the gentleman for how advanced he was. As he walked, the President said loudly, "We are responsible for the history and future of the United States." Today's hesitation will be a reason to accuse us in future history textbooks of the United States. Jackson pointed to the portraits of the early consuls of the United States hanging on the walls around him, and the voice full of honor continued to drill into people's ears, and he said impassionedly, these great men are watching us, Curris and Warman, all the great men, watching us take the banner in their hands and continue to fight for the strength of the United States. The impassioned speech provided an excellent interpretation of the councillor's speech and directly influenced the subsequent vote. Jackson was soon satisfied enough to sign the sale and purchase agreement with Vorros for the enclave, and watched as Vorros's plenipotentiary left with the paperwork as if it were an eruption. A sentence came out of his mouth, what a fool.

Born in the Wild West, Jackson was actually just a boy from a down-and-out cowboy family. If it weren't for the accident, the biggest part of his fate would have been to spend time with cows, horses, or dust flies, in illegal bars full of vulgar people. But now, he is polite and polite to sign the agreement, and meet with the ambassadors of many countries, and leave the scene on the canvas. Jackson sometimes wondered if he was his father's child, but he had no evidence to prove that he wasn't. Because his father couldn't tell when Jackson was born, and Jackson hadn't seen his mother since he was a child. The father's explanation was that the mother had gone to heaven a long time ago, leaving them father and son. Since childhood, there is something strange about his vitality, just like the report he saw today, weird, but it really happened. The report came from a small island in the sea southeast of the mainland of Eisnia. Had it not been for the assistant secretary of state, Jackson would hardly have remembered that it was the president himself who signed the order for the expedition of troops to occupy those islands. In the United States, there is only one person who can finally give orders, and that is the commander-in-chief of the United States' armed forces, that is, the president himself. According to the report, not long after the occupation of Sinker Island, there was an incident of soldiers disappearing mysteriously for no reason, and before the cause could be found, the commander was actually taken hostage and disappeared. Jackson had the feeling that this was a report, and it was a fantasy story. He casually threw the report on the coffee table, and said contemptuously, this story is well made. The Secretary of State resubmitted the second report, which was about negotiating with the major powers of Europa the rules for the division of interests for the future of the Empire of Eisnia, which was important, Jackson looked at carefully. In the great countries of Europa, Free Britain, which has always been against the United States, seems to have a grudge that will be difficult to eliminate. It is no wonder that as the United States becomes more and more involved in international affairs, it is inevitable that it will become entangled with the tentacles of the old empire of Breez, which stretches out to many corners of the world.
