Chapter 323: The Restless Island
The white man who had been sitting silently on the sidelines was wearing a pair of glasses that looked like he had broken his leg several times, and his eyes were a little deep.
After hearing the bearded white man's words, he pushed the glasses that seemed to fall off at any moment to the bridge of his nose with his hand.
The voice was a little hoarse:
"As far as I know, they've only started to get closer to the docks in the past two days!
If they really want to cut off the next group of newcomers to the island, why should they wait a few days before they go? ”
After listening to the words of this thin man named Nathan, the bearded white man pondered for a while before saying:
"You mean, their purpose is not to cut off the next batch of newcomers to the island?
So what are they doing here?
You don't want to grab the boat and leave! ”
Without waiting for everyone to answer, he himself had already shaken his head and denied this answer.
"No, they weren't exiled to the island.
At the beginning, they said that they had been deported, and it was impossible for them to return to Brazil if they robbed the ship.
Besides, the ship escorting the prisoners was machine-gunned, and it was impossible for them to rob the ship if they wanted to. ”
The crowd also fell into deep thought.
It was a young black man who spoke up:
"I heard that they had support in Brazil, so they were not repatriated directly, but sent to the island for temporary resettlement.
When the rumors pass, they will be brought back to Brazil.
Could it be that the rumors have passed now!
Someone will pick them up soon? ”
The people around them began to exchange ears.
A strong black man with a full face was a little loud by everyone's discussion, and stood up directly from the stump where he was sitting and said:
"What is there to discuss, no matter what the purpose of those little dwarfs is,
We just drove them away and occupied the docks, and if there is any good thing, it is all our own. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
They all got up and chimed in:
"That's right! Top dog
We'll take the docks directly, and whatever they want to do, they're going to take us with them. ”
The middle-aged thin white man named Nathan, after listening to the words of the black strong man, also smiled and said:
"It's a straightforward solution.
But there are so many of these dwarfs out there are more of us.
and they seize the dock, there may be a lot of casualties!
Shall we call Pulsatilla and them together? ”
When the bearded boss heard Nathan's words, he waved his hand with some disdain:
"What's the use of calling those political prisoners, the light will move their mouths.
If it weren't for the fact that those who had been soldiers still had some combat effectiveness, Lao Tzu would have swallowed them up a long time ago. ”
Others, too, shouted one after another!
"That is, these people are of no use at all, and if there is any benefit, they will have to give them a share.
It's not as refreshing as our own actions. ”
The middle-aged thin white man waited for everyone to express their opinions, and then coughed dryly and said:
"Ahem, ahem, I know they don't have much fighting.
But we don't have as many people as the dwarfs, and if the casualties are too great, will they be picked up by the pulsatillas? ”
As soon as he heard this, the bearded boss was stunned and immediately reacted.
This is because he is afraid that he and the Japanese will lose both sides and be taken advantage of by the political prisoners of the Pulsatilla.
Haha laughed, patted Nathan on the shoulder and said:
"Haha....... Or you kid is smart, this book is really not in vain.
That's right, we can't let the Pulsatilla gang take advantage of it, we have to take them with us.
Let's go, we'll meet Pulsatilla them now. ”
In fact, there are three forces in the current Fernando de Noronha archipelago.
This bearded man was the most powerful of the original, with six or seven hundred people.
They are all composed of some serious criminals, these people are brave and ruthless, and most of them have been exiled to the island because of life lawsuits.
On the other hand, he called the Pulsatilla faction, which was made up of exiled political prisoners.
Because some of the political prisoners were military officers, their combat effectiveness was not weak, but their number was small, only two or three hundred.
Finally, there are the largest number of Japanese.
The group broke into Pulsatilla's territory.
Many of the people on Pulsatilla's side are intellectuals who have read books, and they all shook their heads after hearing everyone's intentions.
Klee Hope, known as Pulsatilla, is an old white man with completely white hair, and his nickname comes from his snow-white hair.
Looking at the menacing crowd, Klee Hope smiled gently:
"Falk Pinto, I'm old, not as aggressive as you young people.
Since you find it unacceptable to let the Japanese occupy the docks, you can go to war with each other directly.
We're not going to be involved. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Nathan, who was wearing glasses on the side, and smiled:
"Don't worry, whether we win or lose, we won't do anything to take advantage of people's danger."
In the smile, it seems to be pointed.
When the bearded white boss Falk Pinto heard his words, he said indifferently:
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Hope, we're not worried that you're going to take advantage of others.
Instead, he thought that someone might come to pick up the Japanese, and this was a rare opportunity, didn't Mr. Hope want to go back to Brazil? ”
Pulsatilla Hope smiled and said unmoved:
"Folk Pinto, do you think that if someone really wants to come and pick up the Japanese?
Will the other party let you get on board with you just because you have occupied the dock?
Aren't you afraid to face machine-gun fire from the ship? ”
These words made the bearded Falk Pinto's face change greatly, yes! If that's the case, isn't seizing the dock a death sentence?
The faces of the people who followed behind the bearded man also changed greatly.
With their bare hands, they did not dare to face machine gun fire.
Nathan, the skinny man with thin glasses standing next to the bearded man, didn't expect that Kerry Hope would break their team's fighting spirit with a single word.
With a movement of his eyes, he coughed lightly and said:
"Mr. Hope, here's some speculation on our part.
You said that it is possible that someone is going to deliver supplies to the island,
The purpose of the Japanese occupation of the dock was to wait for the receipt of supplies? ”
Hearing this, the bearded Falk Pinto's side all had their eyes lit up and they became agitated.
Even on Pulsatilla Hope's side, there are many people who are starting to get ready to move.
Kerry Hope swept his eyes over and watched everyone's reactions.
Again focused his gaze on the thin glasses man named Nathan, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he continued quietly:
"Why do you think that the people who deliver the supplies are not protected by weapons?"
Nathan was not flustered and continued to smile:
"Then we can also loot the supplies on their way back!
The people who deliver the goods can't go all the way to their station! ”
The conversation between the two mobilized the enthusiasm of everyone around them.
The people who had followed the bearded Falk Pinto now went directly to the dock and forcibly seized the ownership of the dock with the Japanese.
But Klee Hope shattered everyone's illusions with a few words,
But Nathan, the man with thin glasses, gave them hope again.
You must know that on this island of exiled prisoners, they can only live a life similar to that of primitive people.
They are very hungry for the materials of civilized society.
Everyone knows these Japanese people, and they are different.
They were not forced into exile, but chose to land on the island for their own development.
say that they are able to connect with the outside world,
In other words, will the outside world send them a batch of supplies every once in a while?
No one dares to say that there is no such possibility.
Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, they will not give up the opportunity to snatch supplies.
As for the fact that the Japanese are three times their number, this is just a trifle.
After all, there are old and weak women and children among the Japanese.
And most of them are young and middle-aged.
What's even more hateful is that there are women among those Japanese.
This is a fatal attraction for the island's prisoners.
It is precisely because of this situation that the contradictions between these two groups on the island and the Japanese are deep.
Every now and then, some clashes erupt between the two sides.
But because there is not much difference in the strength of the middle-aged men on both sides, everyone is maintaining restraint.
But it is only a matter of time before there is a larger conflict.
So, when Nathan said that when the Japanese returned to the station, they were looting supplies, almost all of them began to get agitated.
"Yes, we robbed these Japanese dwarfs."
"I'm going to rob their women."
"Haha..... Yes, yes, rob women. ”
"That's right, we're going to grab supplies and women."
At first, there were only a few people shouting loudly, but slowly more and more people began to shout along.
The shouts grew louder and more neat.
"Grab supplies! Rob a woman! ”
"Grab supplies! Rob a woman! ”
As the crowd shouted, Lyne Hope's face became more and more ugly,
His eyes are fixed on Nathan, the thin glasses man who provoked the incident.
"Aren't you afraid that there are weapons in the materials transported by the other party?"
Nathan gave Pulsatilla Lane Hope a mocking look, and laughed:
"If you have a weapon, you have to grab it, otherwise, do you think if the other party has a weapon, we can still be better?"
This time, even a middle-aged man who had been standing behind Lane Hope began to look ugly.
whispered into Lynn Hope's ear:
"Sir, Nathan is right.
If the other side really sends weapons to the island, we will have to take them.
Otherwise, we may become slaves of the Japanese. ”
Pulsatilla Ryan Hope, as the leader of the island's political prisoners, did not want to have a violent conflict with the Japanese on the island.
Even, he was very happy to see the bearded Falk Pinto, a group of barbarians, and the Japanese dwarfs lose both.
Therefore, he has always restrained the people on his side not to come into direct conflict with the Japanese.
Unexpectedly, this time because of the sudden occupation of the dock by the Japanese,
Let the bearded men get agitated.
And this damn Nathan took the opportunity to stir up his people too.
In fact, this thin-eyed man named Nathan turned out to be one of their political prisoners.
It can even be said that he is an important assistant, right-hand man.
But after being exiled to this small island, everyone began to live precariously, and life was very difficult.
Everywhere they were suppressed and bullied by those serious criminals.
Nathan can't do any heavy physical work because of his thin body and poor physical fitness.
Often oppressed by those who are heavy-duty.
At that time, Nathan called on all political prisoners to unite against the oppression of these serious prisoners.
But at that time, Ryan Hope was devastated because he had just suffered the biggest blow in his life, and he didn't have this kind of heart at all.
And Nathan didn't have such prestige among political prisoners that he couldn't organize the crowd.
I don't know when it started, but Nathan and the bearded Falk Pinto, one of the heavy criminals, got together.
Then, suddenly, one day, the bearded Falk Pinto led the men to overthrow the original leader and establish a new power.
Nathan became a strategist around him.
I don't know why, Folk Pinto didn't take these political prisoners under their command.
Instead, they are automatically excluded from the new organization.
They had to choose to huddle again, and the most prestigious Lane Hope naturally became the leader of the political prisoners.
