Pirate Traveling Merchant
Chapter 211 Pay the Ransom
Why did Feng call Nolan over? It was because the nobleman had already said that as long as he compensated him 100 million Baileys, he would no longer pursue the matter.
He didn't have much money on him. It should be said that the two of them had no money on them. When they left, all the [-] beli Nolan gave them had been bought by Sidon.Feng didn't want to manage money, thinking that Sidon should be a reliable person who could reasonably arrange their funds.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trap. The biggest problem facing Feng now is not how to rescue Sidon, but how to pay for the hotel.Now that he lives here, he still lives on credit with the shopkeeper.
"A bunch of useless things." Feng crushed the cup in his hand into powder.
Two days later, Nolan hurriedly hurriedly arrived at the island one day away from the bottom of the sea.
Because he had been using his abilities to rush for the past two days, he looked a little sluggish, and he looked like he had been drained.
At this time, Nolan opened the canvas and let the boat sail with the help of the wind. He needed a rest.
"Huh, my physical strength is still not good. I have to pay close attention to training in this area in the future, otherwise what will happen if I run out of gas halfway through the run." Nolan lay on his back on the boat, his head resting on the railing and looking at the sky.
The weather today is also very good, the sun is shining brightly, and there are no big waves in the sea.
Just when Nolan was lying on the boat like a salted fish, there was a small black spot moving on the sea far away from him.
From the sky, this black spot does not move very fast, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a ship, leaving a thin white mark wherever the black spot passes.The direction in which the black spots moved was consistent with the direction Nolan was sailing. Two black spots, one large and one small, were moving forward on the sea like two parallel lines.
Nolan finally regained his strength after resting for about half a day.
"Yo Xi, resurrect with full health, and then rush to the island under the sea in one breath!!!" Nolan activated his ability, the ship got something extra, and rushed into the distance with a whoosh.
On the island of Haiti.
In the naval base where Sidon was imprisoned, the senior navy officials here were having a meeting.
The highest-ranking naval officer stationed on Haitian Island is a Rear Admiral named Tran. Tran is nearly fifty years old. He is a typical uncle and does not look very powerful.In terms of strength, he is not too outstanding among the major generals at the headquarters, and can even be said to be the bottom one.
Now, Momotu and Kaji, two young naval officers who have been in the navy for who knows how many years, have been promoted to lieutenant general, while Tran has been in the position of rear admiral for nearly 30 years.
This shows that he is not very strong, otherwise in this era of great pirates, as long as he has some strength, he can be upgraded quickly.Those of his contemporaries who are still alive have either been transferred to higher government positions or have been promoted to lieutenant general. He is the only one who is still a major general.
Since there was no hope of promotion in the military rank, Natlan focused all his energy on money.
Therefore, when he was sent to Haiti to take charge of suppressing the riots, he did not rely on the powerful power of the navy to suppress them quickly.Instead, he chose to delay first. As long as the king of Haiti did not give him enough benefits, he would not really launch his own navy to suppress it.
This is also the reason why the navy has arrived at the island of Haiti for several days, but the riots have not subsided.
The reason why Tran convened a meeting with his men now is that the headquarters expressed dissatisfaction with their delay in settling the matter on Haitian Island, and sent a general at least a lieutenant general level here to inspect.
Look at the situation in Haiti. Is it really as difficult to solve as Tran said?
Tran, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, smoked a cigar and said, "You have all heard about it, right?"
"Headquarters sent someone over to inspect."
The other marines sitting in the conference room had dissatisfied looks on their faces.
"Huh, headquarters doesn't believe us."
"Yeah, it's a distrust of us."
...........
Everyone did not feel happy or nervous about the headquarters sending people to inspect. On the contrary, they were very repulsive.
Birds of a feather flock together, and the people who can work under Tran are basically the same as Tran. They don't do the real thing and only think about how to make more money all day long.
Although the royal family of Haiti has given them some money, it is not enough for these people.Otherwise, with the naval strength they brought here, they could basically resolve the riots in two weeks, and how could they keep the rioters running around for several months.
"Okay, don't say these useless things." Tran flicked the ashes from his cigarette.
"When the inspectors arrive, you should know what to do." Tran looked at his men coldly.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've encountered this situation. We know what to do."
"Well, we'll make preparations."
"I've already warned the soldiers down there. They won't tell anyone about the things we haven't done much since we got here."
Tran leaned back on the chair, blew out a puff of smoke, and said calmly: "That's fine."
Tran likes this sense of control very much. He is still a small major general at the headquarters. There are countless people with higher status than him there. He can only live a life of nodding and bowing.
After he came out, he was already the highest-ranking person in the army. Everyone had to look at his face. How could he want to go back in a hurry and wish he could be out on duty all the time.
Blowing the smoke into the air again, looking at the floating smoke, Tran narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I hope the people who come this time won't be too difficult to deal with."
Not to mention the navy, let's take a look at Sidon who was imprisoned.
Seton was imprisoned in an empty room. Although there were many prison rooms in the Navy, there were not many prisoners.After all, the navy hardly went out to fight the riots. Tran built this prison more just to get more benefits.And when I finally left, I packed this place with people so that I could make a report.
To put it simply, this is a formal prison, not built to hold real prisoners.
During the few days he was imprisoned, Sidon also became familiar with other people who were also imprisoned here.
After chatting, Sidon learned that the people imprisoned here were basically ordinary people and had not done anything illegal or criminal.
More than [-]% of the people detained here were captured by the navy because they were dissatisfied with the actions of some minor nobles and came forward or took action to stop them.
Similarly, they can get out as long as they pay a huge ransom.But for ordinary people, where is so much money?Therefore, they will basically be imprisoned by the navy or nobles on charges of being rioters or complicit.
"Why are these navy like this, joining the nobles to bully you." Sidon grabbed the iron gate and said angrily, and the iron gate slowly deformed under his strong grip.
"Well, officials protect each other. No matter what, ordinary people like us can't fight with them. We can only hope that they can accuse us of a less serious crime in the end. It would be good if we spend less time here. ." A middle-aged man said frustratedly. He originally meant to do good things, but he didn't expect that when he was arrested, none of his neighbors came forward to help him.
"When did this country become like this?" the middle-aged man sighed.
"Oh? Brother Ka, you mean, this country wasn't like this before?" Sidon asked curiously.
There was a look of reminiscence in Ka's eyes, "Yes, the past was completely different from what it is now."
"When the previous king was still there, everyone in this country was happy. Although there were aristocrats, they were not as unreasonable and exploitative as they are now. Under the keen governance of the previous king, the entire country not only developed very Well, between people, no matter what their status is, they can basically respect each other and will not deliberately belittle each other..."
As Ka told the story, Sidon developed a strong curiosity and yearning for the previous country.According to Ka, then everyone will live and work in peace and contentment and live happily every day. It can be said to be an ideal hometown.
"I really want to visit that time." Sidon said with some emotion.
"It's a pity that I can't go back."
He didn't have much money on him. It should be said that the two of them had no money on them. When they left, all the [-] beli Nolan gave them had been bought by Sidon.Feng didn't want to manage money, thinking that Sidon should be a reliable person who could reasonably arrange their funds.
