Chapter 67 The Visitor
Jaime's words brought the soldiers to a halt. However, after a period of utterly incomprehensible language to Jaime, they were tied up, not even sparing their feet. Nearly thirty men have turned into chrysalis-like objects that can only wriggle. If Jaime could understand the warriors, he would vomit blood. Hearing Jaime's words, the warriors communicated like this.
"What did he just say? Jack?"
"Oh, he said they had no ill intentions and came to us in a friendly manner. ”
"Do you think what he said is true?"
"Deputy squad leader, squad leader, this doesn't look like it, the person who is speaking looks dry and thin, very obscene, and doesn't look like a good person. ”
"Well, it's possible. ”
"I suggest that you tie these people up and report them. ”
"Okay, just do what the deputy squad leader wants and tie them up. ”
Jaime didn't like his eldest brother to take over in the army, so he did let loose a bit. Although the brain is smart, the body is indeed a little worse. A pair of dark circles that can't be erased, at a glance, you know that it is excessive wine. However, he really never thought that one day he would be arrested as a bad guy because of his appearance.
One of the warriors trotted away, and in a short time three three-wheeled bicycles drove up, and the warriors threw the captives on the carts and rode into the town. Even if Jaime was crushed by two people, he did not miss the opportunity to observe this strange force. Although there is not enough angle to turn over because of lying down, it can be seen from some small things that the technology here is more advanced than that of the colonies and even the British mainland.
For example, the three-wheeled bicycle under him had never seen it before. Cycling originated in Europe, in 1790, the Count of Sifrak of France put two wheels on a wooden horse, and people rode on it to pedal forward, called the wooden horse wheel, and then the concept of bicycle appeared, and the three-wheeled bicycle appeared later than the two-wheeled bicycle itself. Although he had never seen it, it did not prevent him from discovering the advantages of this three-wheeled car compared with a horse-drawn carriage.
It doesn't take much strength, an ordinary man can afford to pull hundreds of pounds of goods. There is no need to raise horses, and in this era, the cost of raising horses is not small. It's an inferior horse for transportation, and it's not something that an ordinary civilian family can easily afford. As a military family, Jaime also thought that this kind of car could be used to transport some small things such as musket bullets, and there would be a large amount of transportation capacity left.
The tricycle entered the town, and after walking a few steps, it came to a stop in front of a large house. The house has two floors, the lower floor has a reception and staircase, and the rest of the room is surrounded by a thick wooden fence. There are twenty rooms, and only one room has a living creature in it, and Xiao Lin's wild and difficult to train white wolves live here. This is the town's police station that was only listed two days ago, with a total of two floors, the first floor is used to hold prisoners, and the second floor is reserved for the police to work and rest.
Jaime and they were fortunate to be the first batch of residents of the Yanhuang Trading Town Police Station. The soldier on the bicycle handed over a handover to a small-town police officer wearing a high-quality imitation of the 21st century Chinese police uniform, and they were stuffed into the next room of the white wolf. This is all deliberate by the soldiers and police of the town, just to give them a dismount. In fact, they were really scared. A giant wolf like a calf, always looking at them with fierce eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the white wolf is now accustomed to eating cooked food, and the wildness has weakened a little, they can even clearly feel the murderous aura from nature.
Xiao Lin and the others were not idle during the whole day because they had a lot of things, so they didn't care about these people. Jaime waited hungry until the evening before he was met by Shoren, who had reacted. Jaime knew that this force was very powerful, and since the Addams family had suffered losses at their hands in a row, let alone Jaime's own family. So, even if he was treated unjustly, he was not angry. Led by the soldiers, he crossed a gravel road to the town's only three-story building.
Jaime, under the watchful eye of the warriors, pushed open the door to Shoren's office. Jaime finally met the man he was looking for, the leader of the force, who really looked like an Indian. Still, Jaime always felt that he had a bit of the yellow race he had seen before. is younger than him, but there is not much immaturity, and some are just old adults who do not match this age. A pair of modern tables and chairs, looking very simple, with wooden bookshelves behind them, many paper documents sandwiched together.
"Hello, honorable lord. ”
Jaime saw that the young man was still working on the papers in his hand, and couldn't help but say hello first. His words caused the young man to raise his head, look at him with a little amusement for a moment, and then bow his head again.
"Sir, I heard that you were caught by the soldiers when you tried to break into our construction site at noon today. Originally, according to our rules, you would have to stay in prison for a while. However, I heard that before you were arrested, you said that you came to us with good intentions, I don't know what kind of good intentions it is?"
"Yes, Mr. Lord, I am from the Charles family, and I have come here because I heard that you have defeated the Addams family several times and caused them to suffer a great loss. ”
James spoke again, finally arousing the young man's interest. The young man put down the strange style of pen in his hand, pressed it on the top, and then looked up at him with interest.
"You still have access to this information, I thought the Addams family didn't have the face to say it. Do you want to mediate for us?"
"No, no, no, we're not going to help the damned Addams family, they're all our family's mortal enemies. I'm here to discuss with you, to fight the Addams family together, we can form an alliance and have the same enemy, it's easy, isn't it?"
Jaime didn't know what was wrong with him, and under the eyes of the young man, he told everything. This sturdy young man, who was a few years younger than him, made him feel the same pressure his father had given him. This kind of pressure can only be felt by iron-blooded soldiers. Jaime is also familiar with the temperament of the Predator, and since he has already said it, fortunately he gets straight to the point.
"I don't know, what help can you provide us? Even if it's an ally, it can't just be that we fight to the death in the front, and you pick up the bargain in the back, right?"
The young man thought for a moment, and when he spoke, Jaime was very happy. From this passage, he knew that this young man did not refuse to find an ally. It's just that the Charles family has to show a little sincerity. Jaime thought about it for a moment, and explained some of the conditions that his father had prescribed. As a military family, the Charles family still has some influence over one-third of the colonial army, and under their constraints, as long as the Yanhuang Trading Company does not attack the colony, this group of troops will not be dispatched.
Moreover, they said that some weapons and ammunition could be sold to Xiao Lin. Sholin shrugged off this and swapped them for raw materials for various minerals and cement gunpowder. This allowed Jaime to confirm his suspicion that Sholin could make their own weapons, and that they were much more advanced than the colonial armies. Xiao Lin also knew that this would happen, but he didn't care about being exposed at all, this kind of speculation could strengthen the deterrent power of Yanhuang Trading Company.
Seriously, Shoren was a little tempted by James's proposal. He wanted to establish all kinds of light and heavy industries here, which required a lot of raw materials in the early stage. Now the territory of the power is too small, and it is impossible to find enough mines, so they can only rely on mining for the time being. However, this is a big deal after all, and it is not good for him to decide on his own. It was too late, so he asked people to go down to help Jaime prepare a dinner made of instant food, and he went home to eat hot pot with his sister and mother.
Jaime and the others came out of the police station that night and moved to a private house. The town has not yet had time to build a hotel, and has not yet discovered the need for it. However, Xiao Lin didn't expect that after that, the town began to keep coming. Jaime and the others weren't restricted in any way, but they could only walk around the living quarters. No factory, barracks, or construction site allowed them to approach. Xiao Lin didn't plan to meet them again immediately, there would be a company summary meeting the next night, and all the senior executives would be there at that time, and he planned to discuss love with everyone at that time.
Jaime: They weren't impatient, because they had discovered something new. That is, the Yanhuang Trading Company faces the small supermarket inside. Fortunately, because of the last caravan's incident, the prices of the goods here have been changed to Yanhuang coins, so it will not expose Xiao Lin's profiteering. Now the employees of the town are issued with Yan Huang coins, and ten pounds can be exchanged for one Yan Huang coin, which is specially aimed at foreign whites and used to pit money. Xiao Lin specifically stipulated that the people of the company could not exchange Yanhuang coins for pounds, and the pounds could not be used to buy the company's products, so no one wanted to make a fortune through this.
There were so many things in the small supermarket that caught Jaime's attention. In the case of Coke, beer and snacks, James's brother Stan swapped all the pounds he had in exchange for the Yellow Coins, apparently planning to spend them here before leaving. Jaime fell in love with the suits that looked high-end, and although the style was different from what they were wearing now, it was better than what they were wearing.
Two dozen people, who began their consumption journey in the town, realized that on the morning of the third day, they found the same three-wheeled bicycle pulling a group of people dressed like them into the police station, and they realized that the time was urgent.
