The simultaneous departure of six warships from the Ilian Naval Base alarmed Halston. He didn't know what happened, so he immediately reported the news to the governor, who in turn reported it to the cabinet. In fact, the quiet reconciliation between the Navy and the Ministry of National Defense has not been disclosed. This actually involves compromises in many aspects, especially those senior naval generals who were fired for being "fearless to fight". They have now become ship captains. Kings or shipping tycoons, their interests and the interests of the navy are integral. If the news is announced rashly, it may cause other changes.
It's better to just do it secretly. As long as the navy abides by the agreement and is willing to defend the country, it will be fine.
Major General Thomas' ability and mobility were still very high. The next morning, Thomas called Dulin and told him that he had sunk three freighters. Dulin highly praised this attitude and action and asked them to continue until he called him again.
In fact, Thomas did not tell the truth completely. They did not sink these freighters as soon as they met. They used their own transport ships to transfer the cargo on the freighters, and then sank the freighters with the people and the ship. People who often travel at sea have a certain level of understanding of the warships of various countries. Even if the empire's warships have been disguised to the greatest extent, they may still be seen through. So the best way is to silence all those who know the information forever. . Of course, the navy will not take the blame, even if no one knows about it. It is not the navy that does such bad things, but pirates, pirates flying the pirate flag.
In fact, the Imperial Navy often does dirty work. Some of the warships they scrap every year are slightly refitted and sent to the high seas for their companions who were dismissed from their posts during the Great Patriotic War. Those soldiers and middle- and low-level officers who have lost their military status are now He is a famous pirate who is active on the high seas and is said to have become a cancer on the high seas. It's a pity that this group of people is too powerful and has too many warships. If there is no issue of principle, no country is willing to spend huge military expenditures to encircle and suppress a group of pirates. As long as they don't go too far, everyone will turn a blind eye.
These people also started to take action. This was the first time they had done this kind of "robbery under orders", and it had a unique and fresh feeling.
After the morning meeting, Alan Duy was in contact with the embassy. He was slapped by Dulin and couldn't let it end like this. He couldn't swallow the bad breath. On the one hand, he needed to put pressure on Du Lin from the national level to make him understand that this slap would not end well. On the other hand, he also mobilized some people. He would not kill Du Lin, but he wanted to regain his position. , beat him up. His parents had never spanked him since he was a child, but someone actually slapped him in the face. This feeling was simply terrible, the end of the world was coming!
He is strongly requesting the embassy to issue a formal diplomatic note to handle this matter. The people in the embassy are also very annoyed. They naturally attribute this matter to something as big as jealousy. Alanduy is famous in the principality, but he really doesn't have much reputation internationally, except for being rich. People in the embassy thought this bastard was crazy because he had to use the country's diplomatic power for such a trivial matter. When Alan Duy relentlessly threatened and lured the embassy, his butler coughed lightly behind him.
He glanced back and continued to roar into the microphone, "As the most famous person in the country, don't you feel ashamed that I have been insulted? What's even more unbelievable is that you actually..."
The butler coughed again.
Alan Duy turned around and looked at him, "You'd better give me an explanation. You know I have a bad temper right now. If you don't want to be beaten, you'd better give me a reason why I won't beat you."
The butler smiled bitterly and lowered his head, "Sir, you have lost contact with several ships."
If we talk about anything else, Alan Duy doesn't care that much, but he is particularly concerned about the ship, because all his power and wealth today come from the monopoly on the country's international trade. If something happened to his ship, it would not only mean that he would have to pay a sum of money to the merchants and bear the loss of the freighter itself, but it might also cause a series of problems.
Monopoly business is not easy to do, especially when it comes to monopolizing a country's foreign trade. If he is not careful, the emerging capital forces and the royal family in the country will pull him down. He must treat all this carefully.
He hung up the phone casually and calmed down. He ordered a bottle of the most authentic and pure Paradise from the Federation, took two puffs and said, "Tell me everything."
He soon learned that the five cargo ships that left the port last night and this morning had completely lost news within a few hours of each other. There were high-power radio stations on the ships, which were enough to contact some offices on the nearby coast, but these ships entered the high seas. Not long after, the surrounding offices were never contacted again as required. This kind of thing has happened before. It may be that there is a problem with the radio station, or it may be that the staff was lazy and fell asleep. But there has never been a concentrated outbreak.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number and asked in front of the butler, "Do you know where my ship went?" The guy he called was the most powerful group of pirates off the coast of Farolanco, but no one else It is unclear, but the leader of these pirates is actually his uncle who disappeared when he was a child. The prosperity of any monopoly trade is bound to be accompanied by pros and cons, expanding one's own strength and blocking the growth of others. With this group of pirates, Alan Duy's career is flourishing, and no one will challenge his status.
"I don't know, winter is not a good season to go to sea, and we don't have anything else to do for the time being. Why, your ship is missing?" The voice in the receiver was a little hoarse, and Alan Duy's uncle used it to change his voice. He took some medicine to cause problems with his throat and avoid being discovered. "That's really bad news. Do you know where they disappeared? I'll have someone look for them."
After hanging up the phone, Alan Duy felt uneasy. He always felt that this matter was not that simple, but he could not imagine what happened to cause all this.
For three consecutive days, twenty-one freighters disappeared without a trace, and even the three pirate ships that went to inquire about the news were nowhere to be seen. How could this group of amateurs be professional? A volley from a distance would do anything. Gone.
Because the ship couldn't get out, Alan Duy asked the country to suspend the next transportation plan. He had to figure out who was going against him and then solve the matter. Faced with such a big trouble that could be said to have shaken his foundation, Dulin's matters became insignificant.
But just when he felt that Du Lin was an insignificant person, someone sent him a message, telling him that if he wanted to solve the matter, he should go to Du Lin.
At first Alan Duy thought it was a scam, until his family told him on the sixth day that a group of mysterious pirates suddenly attacked his uncle's base on the high seas. His uncle and most of the pirates were shot dead, and the warship All were sunk as well. Those who survived believe that those are not the warships and fighting methods commonly used by pirates, but are definitely warships of the regular army. Who has ever heard of pirates firing volleys? Don’t you know that artillery shells are expensive
At such a distance, more than a dozen ships circled the island and fired six salvos, basically all of them were destroyed. The pirate base that had been built for more than thirty years was completely destroyed.
Now the situation has become extremely bad. What makes Alan Duy even more frightened is that he sent a small freighter of a shadow company under his command to go to sea, but did not encounter anything. This was enough to prove that he was being targeted. Once people discovered that their own cargo ships could travel unimpeded, but Alan Duy's cargo ships could not go to sea... What's even more terrible is that the royal family has not publicly condemned the pirates' behavior until now, and the military also rejected Alan Duy's request to send warships to escort them. He was vaguely aware that he might be in trouble.
At this time, whether it is to catch the wind or to save himself, he must solve this trouble as soon as possible. Regardless of whether Dulin is the mastermind behind this conspiracy, he has not many choices now, and Dulin is the only one who has happened to him recently. Conflict people.
At around eight o'clock in the evening on the sixth day, Alan Duy brought two friends to Dulin's manor and asked to see Dulin. Dulin graciously told him that he had rested. Of course, for Mr. Jack's sake, he finally I chose to meet him.
The group of people waited in the side hall for about twenty minutes before Du Lin arrived belatedly and changed into formal clothes. Everyone understood this very well. People often say that it takes a long time for women to change clothes, but in fact, the same goes for big shots. Their clothes and accessories must match the upcoming occasion and purpose and highlight their role and status. This is definitely not just wearing a random outfit. It can be completed. There are many explanations and exquisite things in it.
As soon as the three of them saw Du Lin pushing the door open, they all stood up. This time Alan Duy finally behaved like a man worthy of his status, with a trace of unhideable sadness on his serious face. Dulin introduced the accompanying guests, Mr. Jack, and a guy named Philips. This guy is the younger brother of Mr. Keller. It can be seen that Alan Duy is really trying his best. Both of the two people who came to talk to him agreed. Dulin has certain connections.
After Du Lin nodded, the four of them sat down respectively.
"Mr. Dulin, regarding what happened between us last time, I sincerely..." Alan Duy apologized as soon as he opened his mouth. Before he could finish speaking, Dulin raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute." Then he looked back at Dufo, "Go and call Nadia down."
