Chapter 136: Political Gambling
Kang Hongyuan suddenly made this request, which caught Zhao Li even more off guard. But at the same time, he also knew very well that Kang Hongyuan was not the kind of person who had a hot brain and was hot-blooded, and he would make decisions casually. It's like he's coming to himself, and it's definitely for some unknown purpose. It's just that Zhao Li has no way to know.
"I've thought about it, and maybe, this is my chance to come back to the world." Kang Hongyuan still maintained the appearance of an amiable and smiling old man, but Zhao Li still seemed to see a cold chill in him.
The old man is back in the world, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Although I don't know what crime Kang Hongyuan entered the prison on the first place, the people who can enter the Mountbatten Special Prison don't have ten or eight lives in their hands, and they are really not qualified. Even if Ban Yunchan only embezzled a huge amount of money, there were still more than a dozen families behind the scenes. A politician like Kang Hongyuan may have more souls behind him.
"Opportunity?" Zhao Li heard it very clearly, Old Man Kang was using an opportunity, and in recent events, it seems that only James's actions can have a little relationship with Kang Hongyuan, does he already know what James is going to do: "Do you know James's movements?" ”
"I don't know." Kang Hongyuan shook his head.
"And you still say it's an opportunity?" Zhao Li was puzzled, he didn't know anything, so he wanted to take advantage of this matter to get to the top, it seems that Kang Hongyuan is also a little too hasty, right? If this is a military operation, and the enemy's intentions are not clear, and the action is rash, then it will definitely be an extremely risky plan of action.
"You don't understand." Kang Hongyuan was a little disdainful of Zhao Li's confusion between politics and military, and slowly explained to Zhao Li in a tone that educated the juniors: "Politics is risk-taking, it is gambling, you need to make a proper judgment in advance, if you wait until everything is clear, then it will be too late." I'm gambling that James's secret operation will allow me to make enough money. ”
"Gambling?" Zhao Li didn't expect that politics, which he had always thought was very profound, would be described by Kang Hongyuan with such a simple term.
"Yes, it's gambling." Kang Hongyuan nodded heavily: "If you have to wait until someone else unveils the color cup before placing a bet, it will be a little too late." This metaphor is very vivid, at least Zhao Li understood why Kang Hongyuan was in such a hurry to reappear in the rivers and lakes.
"But, your identity ......" Behind it, Zhao Li didn't say much, everyone is a smart person, Kang Hongyuan is still a fugitive in theory. Before all his charges are cleared, let alone politics, even if he lives as a normal person, it will be very difficult. Not to mention, he is not just a fugitive, but a felonist who escaped from an armed robbery, the highest level prison in the military!
"It's okay!" It seems that Kang Hongyuan is the least concerned about his identity: "The crime I was imprisoned for was already very funny, and it was only a matter of a day or two if I wanted to clear my name." ”
"So easy?" Zhao Li couldn't believe that Kang Hongyuan was one of the few people he didn't know the reason for being imprisoned. Others also know the reason for their imprisonment, or at least the approximate cause, such as a laboratory accident that came in the middle of the night. But there are a few people, including Lao Kang, who don't know what the reason is at all.
"Of course, what do you think?" Seeing that Zhao Li was a little unconvinced, Kang Hongyuan also emphasized the rhetorical answer.
"Then you're going to jail!" Zhao Li's eyes widened, he didn't understand what Kang Hongyuan was going to do, he really couldn't figure it out. A politician, go to jail well, isn't this a smear on his resume? What will such a person do even after he is released from prison?
"You don't understand." Kang Hongyuan smiled incomprehensibly again: "Being in prison doesn't mean losing everything, sometimes, you will get something that you didn't get before." ”
"I don't understand!" Zhao Li lacked sufficient research on this advanced field, and he couldn't keep up with the thinking of Kang Hongyuan, a master. However, Zhao Li is a little self-aware, and if he doesn't understand something, he honestly can't understand it, which is why many people like to teach him.
"Well, there's no expectation that you will understand this." Kang Hongyuan is the same, and he doesn't have too high requirements for Zhao Li: "When you have time, go and look at the lives and biographies of several historical celebrities, maybe you will understand." ”
"Which ones?" Since Kang Hongyuan mentioned something, Zhao Li didn't waste this opportunity, he always had to know some reasons.
"After reading the lives of St. Gandhi of India and Mandela, the president of South Africa, I believe you will understand why I am willing to go to prison." Speaking of these two historical celebrities, Kang Hongyuan looked respectful, as if they were the seniors he wanted to learn.
"What are you going to do?" Now that Kang Hongyuan has made a decision, Zhao Li will never try to convince him without his might. But in this place, he is also a five-star person, so he naturally has to care about it.
"I'll arrange it, and in the next few days, it should be fine." Kang Hongyuan did not reveal the specific plan, but Zhao Li also understood and did not follow up. Political matters, sometimes just like military affairs, also have a lot of secrets.
Even Kang Hongyuan was involved in an ambiguous way, and the matter between James and Ye Lin must be extraordinary. Even if Zhao Li is a political idiot, the actions of these people, especially Kang Hongyuan, have said too much.
No, if you don't figure this thing out, Zhao Li won't be able to sleep with peace of mind. It seems that the only way to come forward is to go to James and ask him personally.
It's not very difficult to find James now. He regularly logged and built on his piece of land every day. It turned out that the people who followed him seemed to have suddenly changed from drug traffickers to construction workers, and they were very obedient.
Looking for James, it is natural to pull in Sanders and Yelin, anyway, these guys are acquaintances, and Yelin also has some unclear secrets about James, Suo surnamed La, maybe you can get specific news.
However, although James seems to have put down the drug business, the arms are still there. If you want to see the recently famous "Black Jack" among the militia forces, it is not something that ordinary people can see.
"It's you again!" Zhao Li followed the road that James and the others drove out, and when they were about to approach the construction site, the roadside tree leaned out from a few vigilant people and politely stopped the three of them. Seeing Zhao Li, one of the young men was stunned and recognized Zhao Li.
Zhao Li also recognized the young man, the last time he saw James, the guy who allowed Zhao Li to take the police and was later punished by James who didn't know how to punish. Maybe because of what happened last time, he was very unfriendly when he saw Zhao Li.
"That's right, it's me again." Zhao Li smiled. I don't know if it's because I've been leading the troops for a long time, and I naturally formed a kind of majesty of a leader, although I'm not old, but I look like that. smiled so lightly, but the other party was at a loss.
The other party looked at Zhao Li, staring at him, and he didn't know why, but suddenly he reached out and put it to his mouth, and whistled loudly with his lips pinched. After the whistle was blown, among the surrounding bushes, huhula, a large group of people came out, all with weapons on their backs, pointing at Zhao Li and the three of them. This posture simply treats them as enemies, and these people don't look like serious construction workers and lumberjacks. It seems that James's next move may not be such a peaceful project.
"You two, stand back!" The young man also seemed to be a small leader, and these people who appeared were all under his command. And the first thing he targeted was not Zhao Li, but Sanders and Yelin.
Sanders and Nightfall didn't know what the young man meant, but since he was here to meet James, there was no need to fall out with his men. Sanders gently pulled Ye Lin, who took two steps back, leaned his back against a big tree, and watched the play slowly.
"Lieutenant Zhao Li!" The young man called out Zhao Li's name in one bite. This is not surprising, since the day the black prison was completely eliminated, Zhao Lihe's reputation in the military camp has spread throughout the entire Golden Five Stars, if such an important and famous person James is not known to the person in charge of guarding the door here, it would be a strange thing.
"Last time, I was punished by the boss for allowing you to take the police to meet the boss." The young man looked at Zhao Li and said very unkindly: "I have always wondered how many people are allowed to see the boss with bayonets, and the boss has never punished me for allowing a person to carry an ordinary police crutch." I admire you for having such courage at such a young age and daring to destroy the black prison, but I still don't accept it. ”
"I'm going to take on you!" The young man finally spoke his mind. It's just that this kind of shouting made Zhao Li a little crying and laughing. What kind of logic is this, you make a mistake yourself, and you have to blame others? It seems that James controlled these people and did not bring his set in the army.
The young man looks slightly older than Zhao Li, and he can be entrusted with the important task of guarding the goal, and he is probably the person James trusts. Having said so many reasons, according to Zhao Li's judgment, the biggest possibility is that Zhao Li himself has been too popular in the Golden Five Star recently, and it is even possible that James has praised a few words, which has made his subordinates unconvinced.
I can't help but say that Zhao Li has indeed been in the limelight recently. Let's not talk about the Order of the Red Star of the First Class, but the elimination of the Black Prison and the attraction of an entire fleet to hover above the head of the Golden Five Stars are things that have already caused everyone in the Golden Five Stars to know. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, they are young, and they are so showy, it is strange if they don't make people look at them.
Zhao Li looked at each other with a smile and didn't speak for a while. This hand is learned from Kang Hongyuan, at least at all times to face people with a smile, it is easy for people to relax their vigilance. Zhao Li unconsciously always forgot Kang Hongyuan's dangerous surname, which shows that this trick is indeed effective.
"I don't know, how do you want to fight?" Zhao Li finally asked.
"You use your police crutches, I'll use this!" As he spoke, the young man pulled out two short sticks about the length of a police crutch from his back and held them in his hands.
"Good!" Without thinking much about it, Zhao Li directly agreed to the young man's request. While answering, he drew his pistol and stabbing and threw them directly at Sanders in the back.
"Bet, bet, two people duel fairly, one pays one!" Sanders, this guy, received Zhao Li's weapon, didn't say how to keep it, casually pinned it to his waist, took off his hat, and began to shout around.
Zhao Li has always attached great importance to the discipline of the soldiers, so under his hands, this kind of thing has never happened. The moment he heard Sanders' voice, Zhao Li couldn't help but turn around and look at the guy who was disrespectful to the old man. Is this what a special forces instructor should do? Don't look at what kind of place this is, those militants around, although they have James's face, will they come here with the "enemy" at this time?
As soon as this thought was activated, a scene that made Zhao Li dumbfounded appeared in front of him. The scene in front of him made Zhao Li unable to believe it no matter what, what he saw and heard now was actually true.
"I'll bet Quincy to win, a thousand bucks!"
"I'm betting Quincy, five hundred!"
……
"Quincy, six hundred!"
In the blink of an eye, there was a small pile of money in James's hat. The night presence next to him also used his expert memory, repeating everyone's bets one by one.
Is this also considered a soldier? Zhao Li couldn't imagine how much combat power such a soldier who participated in gambling could have. James wants to rely on these people to fight the world, isn't it a bit of child's play. Is Sanders' behavior a bit excessive?
No matter what Zhao Li thinks, Sanders is still happy to preside over his bookmaker's work. Sorted out all the banknotes, rolled them into a stack and held them in his hands, and reminded Zhao Li loudly: "Hey, no one pressures you to win, it seems that you are not favored!" Boy, you have to work hard, don't make me lose! ”
Zhao Li doesn't like gambling, but it's not that he doesn't understand what it means for everyone to press that Quincy. This situation can only show one point, all of them here have firm confidence in the young man named Quincy, and firmly believe that he will win Zhao Li. And this trust, as a rule, is only gained in one form, and that is through constant victory.
It seems that this Quincy in front of him is not a simple character. Zhao Li looked at his opponent, smiled at him again, and slowly pulled out the police crutch and held it in his hand.
Quincy, on the other side, grabbed the two short sticks in his two hands, made a defiant look at Zhao Li, and then slowly began to retreat, freeing up the distance between the two.
"I'll press Zhao Li!" A familiar voice appeared, and then, James's familiar figure also appeared in front of everyone.
