Chapter 61: What is the Diamond Alliance?
Chandrasekhar said in a very low voice: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Cang Hao laughed self-deprecatingly: "Considering how I dealt with you before, it's actually quite ironic for me to do this, isn't it." ”
"Yes, you turned me into a half-wreck, I need to thank you......" Chandrasekhar's face became very bitter: "Anyway, I'll tell you a little more thing, just like you guessed, the ghost king party contacted me before, and the black-faced ghost expected that you would buy equipment from me, and he asked me to deal with you, and also provided some information about you......"
"I guessed that. ”
"The Ghost King Party paid me a million ......dollars for this," and Chandrasekhar's voice became very strange when he said this: "There is a person named Mirror Ghost next to the black-faced ghost, this person is very powerful, you have to be careful. ”
"Thanks again. ”
Chandrasekhar was a little curious: "You...... Don't want to know who the black-faced ghost is?
"Because you certainly don't know. ”
"I really don't know. Chandrasekhar shook his head vigorously: "I only know that they were all very good soldiers, but the Diamond Alliance has gone to such great lengths to conceal their true identities, how can others know so lightly." ”
"Have you ever seen the black-faced ghost as it is?"
"No, there isn't. ”
"Okay. Cang Hao looked at this pirate leader at this time, and suddenly he was not so disgusted, but still had some sympathy.
He used to be so fierce, but now he has become a toothless tiger, and he only has the share of being slaughtered, maybe this is retribution.
Cang Hao exhaled: "Don't be a pirate in the next life!"
"Do you think people have a next life?" Chandrasekhar suddenly laughed: "Lord Shiva is above, and even if there is, we can only go to hell!"
"I ...... Guys?"
"You, I, are actually a kind of human being. Chandrasekhar said meaningfully, "We all enjoy the thrill of killing!"
"You're right!" Cang Hao nodded heavily: "However, I have one difference from you, that is, since a few years ago, I decided to only kill those who should be killed!"
"Like me?"
"That's right!" Cang Hao nodded: "Even if it's cannibalism!"
Chandrasekhar laughed again, as if he had completely forgotten the pain on his body: "Canghao, in this world, there are still many people like me, how many can you kill?"
"No matter how many, don't let me touch it, as long as I do, I won't let it go!" Cang Hao smiled and said sarcastically: "Count you unlucky!"
Leaving Chandrasekhar's cell, Cang Hao returned to Admiral Linus's office and paid the deposit very happily.
Admiral Linus was very satisfied, and then proposed: "You can rest for a few days, the scenery here is good, and it should be regarded as a vacation." ”
"No need. Cang Hao was still not sure what Admiral Linus's purpose was, and he just wanted to leave here as much as he could: "I still have a lot of work to do, and I need to go back and deal with it." ”
"At least ......" Admiral Linus looked at the time and offered, "Let's go in five hours." ”
"Why five hours?"
"Because an old friend of yours is coming. Admiral Linus smiled mysteriously: "I hope you can meet and catch up with the past, if you insist on leaving, of course you can, but this old friend of yours will be disappointed." ”
"What kind of old friend?"
"You know when you see it. Admiral Linus shook his head vigorously, refusing to say anything more.
Cang Hao didn't ask, and went directly to the temporary cell, and the brothers immediately surrounded him, Grim Reaper Archer and Bony monitored the movement outside, and the others asked nonsense.
Cang Hao waved his hand and answered all the questions very briefly: "Chandrasekhar's article has been turned over, and our current trading partner has become Admiral Linus. Zhao Xuan immediately understood what was going on: "This kind of private transaction is very common, otherwise, where would there be so many arms in this world, in fact, the legal arms trade only accounts for a small part." ”
Wan Peng nodded: "Which country doesn't sell it, Lao Maozi sells it the most fiercely, and even dares to sell nuclear weapons! In contrast, in fact, most of the weapons sold by country M still take legal channels, and all the troubled areas in the world use Lao Maozi's equipment!"
"That being said, it's ......" Cang Hao said in a long voice, "I always feel that Admiral Linus has other plans!"
Wan Peng hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
"I can't guess yet, anyway, although he is using us, but I don't see it as bad for us for the time being. After a pause, Cang Hao changed the subject: "Which of you has heard of the Diamond Alliance?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Instead, Bony said, "It's not going to be the diamond sellers, is it?"
Wan Peng asked curiously: "Selling diamonds?"
"Just like arms, the global diamond trade, legal is only a part, and a lot of diamonds are traded through secret channels. "African warlords forced the inhabitants to mine diamonds, sell them to obtain funds to support their rule and wage wars, and as a result, diamonds caused many wars, so there is a term called 'blood diamonds'. There is a folk saying in Africa that if you want to live a long life, don't touch a diamond. ”
"I've heard of this...... Wan Peng, although he is a crow's mouth, is also an encyclopedia: "In 2002, forty-five countries signed the Kimberley Treaty, which stipulates that diamonds must have a legal source before they can be sold, and export records must be backed up in detail to determine that they have nothing to do with local warlords." ”
"That being said, it's just ......" Bony smiled sarcastically, "whether it is legal or illegal, diamonds look the same, all kinds of records can be forged, who is sure that blood diamonds will not enter the market, could it be that all the diamonds mined by those warlords are thrown into the sea?"
Boni is from Rwanda, Africa, a country that has neither oil nor diamonds, so he has heard a lot of things and cannot provide more detailed information.
Cang Hao nodded: "What Bony said has some truth, but what this Diamond Alliance is doing can only be speculated on." ”
"yes. Wan Peng sighed: "We have also fought in Africa, and many warlords have directly paid for armaments with diamonds, but at that time we had never heard of any diamond alliances. ”
Zhao Xuan agreed with Wan Peng's statement: "The Diamond Alliance, if it is really selling diamonds, is it more mysterious than the mercenaries and killers of the underground world, how can everyone never heard of it in the past." ”
"Let's not talk about that. The Grim Reaper Archer asked Cang Hao, "What are we going to do next?"
And so on. Cang Hao exhaled a long breath: "Admiral Linus said that an old friend is coming to see me, and I am waiting for this old friend." ”
While everyone was chatting, Cang Hao also took the opportunity to rest for a while, Admiral Linus removed the guards from this cell, and it seemed that he was not worried about the Blood Lion mercenaries escaping at all, and the Marines did not come to look for trouble.
A few hours later, the officer came back, still holding a neat suit: "Mr. Cang, please change into this." ”
"Why?"
The officer smiled: "When meeting guests, you must always be decent." ”
After floating on the sea for a few days, Cang Hao's whole body was tanned, and the clothes on his body were in tatters, and he really looked very unpresentable.
But Cang Hao didn't want to be fiddled with: "I'm like this, no matter what clothes I put on, I'm still me." ”
"Then whatever you want. The officer did not force it: "Please come with me." ”
The officer himself drove Cang Hao to the beach, where a table was propped up with a few candles lit, swaying in the sea breeze and casting light and shadow.
Admiral Linus changed into a suit, sat at the table, and when he saw Cang Hao coming, he immediately got up: "Welcome." ”
Cang Hao looked at this arrangement and felt that it was too romantic: "Are you proposing to me?"
"Of course not. Admiral Linus laughed: "It's just that the guests are very important, and whether or not you put the effort into creating a better atmosphere also shows whether you have enough respect for the guests." ”
As soon as Admiral Linus finished speaking, a female voice sounded behind Cang Hao: "Judging from Mr. Cang's clothing, it is obvious that he doesn't care much about me. ”
Cang Hao turned around and took a look, only to see a beautiful black woman walking over with her crotch twisted slightly, she was wearing a red dress with a low open neckline, and her exposed black skin was as smooth and delicate as satin.
It was Alyssa, who came to Cang Hao, and Alyssa hugged Cang Hao warmly: "You really should change your clothes." ”
Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not used to wearing the clothes picked by others." ”
"Okay. Alyssa exhaled softly: "You have always been so stubborn, I'm used to it." ”
Admiral Linus walked over and didn't hug him, just shook Alyssa's hand: "Welcome to the Diego Garcia base." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Admiral. Alyssa smiled very gracefully and walked over to a chair, and Admiral Linus hurriedly walked over and pulled the chair out very gracefully so that Alyssa could sit down.
Cang Hao didn't care so much, he found a seat and asked, "When will it be served?"
Without Linus's orders, the two deceased men immediately came over, first bringing three glasses of red wine to the three of them, and then serving an aperitif soup.
"Admiral Linus is too good at enjoying it......" Cang Hao didn't touch the wine glass, but looked at the appetizer and swallowed his saliva: "How can you tell that this is a military base with this arrangement." ”
"No matter where you are in the world, don't forget to enjoy life. Admiral Linus raised his glass and said, "Life is too short, so let's make a toast to each of our short lives." ”
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere was a little warmer.
Alyssa said with a smile: "I came here on business, I didn't expect Admiral Linus to be so enthusiastic, I was very touched. ”
"Are we old friends? Admiral Linus said meaningfully: "You probably didn't expect that Cang Hao happened to be a guest here with me." ”
