Chapter 55: Martin the Traitor Among the Negroes
In New York, there are not many family-friendly entertainment items during the winter holidays, and many New Yorkers will drag their families to Miami with a temperature of 27 degrees or Los Angeles in the winter.
Although Tommy can also bring his family back to warmer Los Angeles, Tony can't travel with him, so the area of activity is basically limited to the New York area.
In order to avoid Tony from dying of exhaustion in Ashley's bed, and in order to ease the relationship with his dear father-in-law, Tommy arranged a family hunting activity in the hunting grounds of South Long Island, before the team left, Sophia just received a call from Susan, Susan because Vanessa was temporarily on leave, worried that she would be squeezed by Spike Lee as a free laborer, so she flew to New York to supervise Vanessa, and learned that the film reshoot had ended, so she simply took Vanessa to Mary's Manor to visit Otilia and Sophia.
Seeing the black and white Vanessa, Daddy Colin has decided that Tommy may be a mother now, and he can do it.
Compared with Colin's unhappiness, Otilia, Ashley, Becia and other women were pleasantly surprised by Vanessa's appearance, chatting with each other enthusiastically, and inquiring about gossip in the entertainment industry, after all, Vanessa is no longer an unknown person, her first album won the platinum title, and she is already a well-known young black female pop singer.
When they heard that they were going to hunt, not only men but also women were elated and regarded the hunt as an outdoor camping activity.
Tony even called his white comrades-in-arms on vacation, and after learning that they were more interested in alcohol at the moment, he called the black officers who Martin was in charge of entertaining, and invited them to come and participate in the hunt.
So, in the parking lot of the main entrance of the private hunting ground in the southern part of Long Island, Colin, who was already a little unhappy because of Vanessa's appearance, once again had the urge to need the Ku Klux Klan to reappear.
Five low-ranking black Navy officers were Tony's comrades-in-arms, and one black man was Tommy's bodyguard, if it weren't for Colin knowing the identities of these people, he would have thought that a president of the United States came to the Long Island hunting ground with five Pentagon military generals to announce the start of a civil war between black and white people in the United States.
This swiped his son's credit card, which is so generous.
Six people arrived in three stretch luxury cars, each with its own driver and bodyguards, who, to Colin's surprise, were all sturdy.
Not only Colin was shocked, but Tommy was also shocked, Tony's black comrades, the highest rank is a lieutenant, Martin greeted their treatment, making Tommy think that he was not receiving a lieutenant, but a lieutenant general.
Those who came to hunt were more like the American people who were saluting on the side of the road, waiting in line for these black bigwigs to shake hands and receive them.
It doesn't matter, if you want to gain, you must first lose, Tommy comforted himself in his heart.
He saw that the black officers were obviously very familiar with Martin, and when Tony was asked, they all expressed their praise for Tony's decision to arrange for Martin to treat them warmly this holiday.
The proportion of black officers in the U.S. military will increase year by year, although the discrimination of white officers against colored people is still common in the military, but Tommy knows that political correctness in the military will come earlier than in society, and these black officers who have been discriminated against but more patient will also be regarded as excellent examples and examples of black officers because of this, and it is easier to get promotions.
Tony didn't hurt to get along with these black men, and one day, he would command a warship on his own, with a few reliable black comrades around him, and it would be easier for him to manage more and more black sailors than his white comrades.
Anyway, Martin triumphantly boasted to Sophia, saying that he made a lot of money from Spike, and that all the expenses were counted in Spike's account, and if it wasn't enough, he would be sent to the aircraft carrier as a fucking inflatable doll to pay off the debt.
Martin may have figured out how not to blow up the bubble he made up along the way, lest Tommy's racist dad see him unhappy, let him wipe the car, and reveal his identity, so the first thing he did when he got out of the car was to walk up to Colin wearing a bright and blind name tag, with a humble expression of pride, grabbed Colin's hand and kissed it: "My dear godfather, how are you doing during the holidays these days?" I'll wait to help you wipe the car, after all, every time I was short of money since I was a child, you let me wipe the car to earn tips. ”
Then he immediately turned his head and introduced the black officers of the Navy to the chauffeur and bodyguard who made a cameo appearance on the Black Fruit: "Colin Hawke, the godfather who witnessed my baptism when I was a baby, is the most important and respected man in my life besides my father." ”
As a roommate who lived in a dormitory, Vanessa was shocked that Martin and Tommy's relationship was so close, but Susan glanced at Martin and gave the answer: "That guy is bragging in the cracks, you better not demolish him." ”
"How do you know Martin is bragging?" Vanessa asked in a whisper to Susan.
His current agent is much better than Mark Warren, who only knew how to let himself go to bed with the producer, since following Susan, Vanessa has never encountered any harassment, or rather, there may be, but before he knew it, he was blocked by Susan.
This also made Vanessa trust Susan's words 100%.
"Because I haven't had such crazy ideas, I think of Tommy as a godfather at most, how can he, a driver, be qualified to be the godson of the boss's father?" Susan smiled and glanced at Tommy, who was admiring her father's stimulation by Martin, and spoke.
Vanessa followed Susan's gaze to Tommy, then to Susan, quietly observed Susan's eyes, and whispered with a gentle smile, "Although I know that Miss Otilia Farrell is Tommy's girlfriend, ...... For a moment, I thought you might be a better match for him. ”
"It's better not to." Susan withdrew her gaze and looked at Vanessa, "A woman like me, if Tommy gave me a life like Ortiria's, maybe I'd hate him." ”
Before Vanessa could ask, Susan had already turned her attention to Colin and Martin again.
Colin was indeed ready to humiliate this guy when he saw Martin's nouveau riche virtue, and demolished him with the reason of ordering the other party to help him clean the car on the spot, but he didn't expect Martin to say it first, the most important thing is that this guy actually kissed the back of his hand, this action directly disrupted Colin's train of thought, and only "What about my gun?" I'm going to collapse this who insulted me".
When he came back to his senses and wanted to go crazy, Martin had already hugged Colin hard, and said in Colin's ear in a fast and soft voice: "Mr. Hawke, everything is ordered by the boss, those officers are still comrades of Chief Tony Hawke, I don't want to threaten you, I just remind you that if you demolish me, your two sons will be in big trouble." ”
"I ......" Colin's ears were almost touched by Martin's lips, the corners of his eyes showed signs of cracking, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his teeth creaked, but when he heard Martin's words, he finally tried to suppress his anger and didn't say anything, just waited for the hug to end, and rubbed the back of his hand that had been kissed by Martin on his back.
Hull waited for Martin to walk away with the other soldiers to greet Tommy and the others, and then approached Colin: "I think you might as well settle in Hoboken, it's about the same place as Warwick anyway, and the drunkards are grateful to you, Colin, after all, if the neighbors of Warwick know that you now have a godson, they can dig up all the graves of your great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, and call them to get up and take you away." ”
Colin turned his head to look at Peppe, who was leaning against the front of the car and was leaning down and lighting a cigarette, Paige bit the cigarette in his mouth and looked at Colin suspiciously: "What's wrong, Mr. Colin Hawke, the godfather of black Martin Hart?" You may be the only party member with a black godson since the founding of the Triple Klux Klan in the United States, and your name will be left in history today, congratulations. ”
"I want you to press all the electric shockers on your body on the cunning, if the hunt is over, and the electric shockers have even a milliamp of power left, I will let my son fire you! Old Peppa! Colin said viciously.
Paige was holding a cigarette and had a straight face, but he always felt that he would laugh loudly at Colin for accidentally becoming the godfather of blacks in the next second:
"I should have driven the mill from the manor with me, and when you were hunting, he was in charge of pushing and grinding, connecting wires at two points on his chest, and the other end attached to the car battery, and discharging at a speed of less than twenty kilometers per hour."
The group entered the preparation area of the hunting ground, changed into hunting clothes under the advice of the staff, selected hunting weapons, and purchased hunting quotas at the same time.
Yes, while the U.S. can occasionally encounter animals on the road, it doesn't mean that an American with a legal gun can shoot an animal, and shooting and killing an American wild animal without a hunting permit and outside of a designated hunting area can be more serious than shooting an American.
If a with a gun kills another on the street, if he has the money to find a lawyer, the lawyer may also find some excuses such as gunfire and mental illness to help prevaricate, and if the family of the deceased does not have the money to find a lawyer to fight to the end, they may not even need to squat in prison.
But if a gun-wielding kills a wild deer or a raccoon on the side of the road because he is bored on the street, and if someone else sees him and calls the police, and the court ultimately does not treat him as a poacher, but simply kills wild animals, then the best way for him to deal with it is to use the gun that killed the animal and shoot it at his head.
Shooting wild animals illegally, if defined as poachers, is nothing more than the revocation of gun licenses, hunting licenses, etc., and the payment of a bunch of fines, which is considered a good end.
If the police and the court do not determine that you are a poacher, then soon, the local wildlife conservation association, fishing and hunting association, hunting ground federation and other various groups and organizations will send their elite lawyers, who are fed with high salaries all year round, to make an example of the shooter to ensure that he will die socially in the local area, which is worse than squatting in prison.
When Tommy was in middle school, Warwick once had a white man who didn't know if there was a disease in his head, and ran to the lake of Kent out of boredom, killing a dozen wild ducks, because he didn't pick up those prey after killing, so in court, the jury decided that his behavior was not poaching, but a worse slaughter of wild animals, so those groups took turns to appear, and finally ended up with his wife and his divorce, and he couldn't bear the pressure to leave him with his children, because even the children's classmates in school would laugh at them for having a slaughtered animal, The father of the murderer who destroyed the habitat of American wildlife.
Even low-level will pay attention to this, and would rather rob a convenience store at gunpoint and buy a few burgers with the stolen change than go to the field with a gun to shoot two grouses and come back to cook them.
But the United States is not too impersonal and wants to experience the thrill of hunting, no problem, as long as you are willing to pay.
Many states have opened their own public hunting grounds to provide hunting services to Americans with hunting certificates, and use their unique animals to attract guests from other states, such as Oklahoma allows guests to hunt raccoons, West Virginia allows black bear hunting, Georgia allows guests to hunt coyotes, Alaska allows guests to hunt reindeer, and so on.
For example, in the public hunting grounds of New York State, if you only have a hunting license and are so poor that you can only afford to pay for the ticket, then you better not fantasize about hunting crocodiles or bears, because most of the public hunting grounds have restrictions.
Because the hunting ground staff will tell you that in order to preserve the wild environment as much as possible, the hunting ground requires guests not to use modern rifles, only old-fashioned shotguns, breech guns or hunting bows, not even crossbows.
Imagine that you were holding a breech gun the same age as your grandfather and facing a wild crocodile or a wild boar, and if one shot didn't kill it, the consequences would be more than just not having time to reload the second round of ammunition.
The main thing is that there is a limit to the number of prey, such as only two deer and three ducks a day, and perhaps to distinguish between male and female, and if you hit the wrong sex, you also need to pay a fine.
If you want to hold a modern rifle and kill without a limit on the number, the staff will tell you intimately that there are several high-end private hunting grounds near the public hunting grounds, with many types of guns, wild animals, predators, slaughter quotas, accompanied by professional security officers, and of course, pay more money.
Tommy and they are now in a private hunting ground, prey from wild boars, black bears and other beasts, down to white-tailed deer, raccoons, turkeys, hares, a wide variety of species, because they are just a family to relax, so they mainly hunt in the gentle animal areas of white-tailed deer, turkeys, and hares.
After making sure that everyone had selected the right guns, and that they were accompanied by special safety officers and instructors, a group of people entered the hunting area in a majestic manner, most of the women stayed in the recreation area to busy setting up the grill, listening to Vanessa talk about the fun stories of making movies, waiting for the prey to be sent for roasting, only Sophia, who was eager to try, carried a shotgun on her back, and Susan followed the men into the hunting area with a rifle.
Tommy's father-in-law, Julian, is blushing as he walks with his dad Colin and Mr. Hull arguing about which one will be the first to catch his prey, Julian boasting of his years of gun hunting experience and having hunted a lion in Africa, and Colin boasting that he won first place in a bottle shooting contest at the Little Bar on Mount Hope.
Hull revealed that Colin was only second, and the real first place was in the final round, when he blew himself in the eye with the first shot and withdrew from the competition, Colin's results were not worthy of his name.
The three old guys are arguing, Tony and Tommy are also betting, Tommy bets that Martin's bodyguards will be the first to get the first kill, and Tony insists that he and his comrades will win the first prize, and both sides come up with two hundred dollars as a bet.
Tony said to his comrades: "Come on, let them see the difference between civilians and soldiers, take the first kill, you will pay the female soldiers for the next six months for the overnight fee, I please, don't let me lose face in front of my brother." ”
"I don't think you should worry about losing face, but worry that if a female soldier hears you, she will complain about your sexism?" Tommy said with some surprise when he heard his brother's words of encouragement to his comrades.
"On average, two female soldiers jump into the sea a month, expecting them to swim back to Hawaii or mainland China to complain, and those who jump into the sea are forced?" A black officer said to Tommy: "Boss Tony makes us more gentlemanly, you know, the number of female soldiers on the ship is small, and they want to complete a mutual help with each other in bed, if they don't want to force it, then in addition to paying a lot of love words, the main prop to increase the success rate is banknotes or valuable gifts, in short, there is no woman on the ship without money." ”
"To avoid humiliation for my brother, maybe I'll consider sending a couple of strippers with VOX press cards to the boat to play with you, Tony knows I can do it." Tommy said with a smile.
"Your brother is so cool." The black officer said to Tony.
Seeing that the boss didn't pay attention to Martin's fruit members, Martin, the head of the family, said to Drake and the others: "You are already losers in the eyes of my half-brother Tommy, and the only thing that can change his mind is to defeat those guys." ”
"We don't want to work for you anymore, Mr. Hart." Drake lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Martin's eyes narrowed: "What did you say?" ”
"We think you're a traitor to the blacks, you actually have a white godfather, and what did you just say? Are you and a white man, half-brothers? Drake rubbed his face: "We are a self-organized organization to defend the dignity of black people, but you seem to be proud to be brothers and sisters with white people......"
"Don't you need money to uphold black dignity? You have maintained the dignity of black people for so long, and I am not the only traitor in your eyes, and I am the one who gave you the largest amount of money I am for you, for all the in America, to suppress the sense of humiliation and deal with white people! I'm not close to them, whoever gives me money, without money, what do I take to make a show for to enjoy! Martin twirled his fingers around his temples, and his face was awe-inspiring:
"Now, turn on your unevolved brains, and think carefully about the next question, which is the traitor to the blacks, I, the who support you with real money, or the who have enjoyed your efforts for so long, but have done nothing to you?"
