Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Platters of exquisite side dishes were brought up as Holmes sat down. Looking at the palm-sized porcelain plate, which was equivalent to a bullet that hadn't eaten much all night, he turned his head and whispered something to the scout, his voice was very subtle.  , but in this completely silent environment, it seems so abrupt.

    "This is for cat feeding. Is it enough for me to fill my teeth?" Warnhead's blunt words attracted Holmes's kind smile. But just as he finished speaking, a cook dressed  A man appeared directly pushing a cart of food. There were all kinds of food in sight. The most important thing was that the things placed on these dining carts were all named after Xiao Sheng, Scout, Warhead, Hong Fu, and Parker.  Given the living environment of these people, they can still think of the delicacies of their hometown.

    In other words, before this, the old chief, who was over fifty years old, had done enough homework on several people, but at the same time, it was more like a demonstration by the other party, and the identities of these people were not widely leaked.  Even the people in the Holy See had to rely on Hong Fu's narration to find out, but the other party knew everything clearly.

    This energy alone is enough to make Xiao Sheng and others stunned, but think about it, as one of the directors of the Monaco Old Boys Club, coupled with the power he currently possesses, Holmes does have such capital and energy.  .

    It was a pleasant breakfast. Holmes spent most of the time reminiscing about the past and rarely talked about cooperation. The atmosphere was not as tense as before. Parker's cold face gradually became a little warmer.

    The dessert after the meal was even more delicious. It was a treat that he had not enjoyed for a long time. However, Xiao Sheng, who was full of tea and rice, politely declined the dessert and asked straight to the point:

    "Mr. Holmes, after you've had your tea and your meal, do you think we're going to talk about cooperation, or what you want us to do for you and what we can get.  "Facing Xiao Sheng's confession, Holmes, who was sitting in the first place, gently stroked the ears of the teacup in front of him. He pinched the ears of the teacup with two fingers and slowly raised them, and said softly:

    "As for the battle between Carmen and the Holy See in the last days, whether it involves the so-called nobles or private armed forces, as long as it is within a certain scope, it is a matter for the government. Neither our military nor the Old Boys Club wants to get involved.  .

    "But in fact, the fight between the two parties has escalated to the point where we have to step in. Both sides have invited "foreign aid," and this "foreign aid" has an agenda"

    He did not directly state the content of the cooperation, but first promoted it and then suppressed it. This is obviously Holmes trying to gain more bargaining chips for himself. In other words, if you, Xiao Sheng, and others come to fight, you cannot stand.  Damn it, no matter from which point of view, you can only cooperate with me, there is no reason to negotiate terms.

    The old fox in front of him was fighting psychological warfare, and his purpose was to secretly beat up a few people. The real initiative was in his hands, not Xiao Sheng and others.

    If it were anyone else, or the old William who was born and raised here, he might be timid at this time. After all, the influence of the military on a religious organization is of little significance on the surface, but it has far-reaching influence in actual operations.  Who is Xiao Sheng, a real villain who once rejected the old man three times, but still calls Master Nalan a nouveau riche, fighting from east to west, and always moving forward with his head held high.

    "NO, NO, Mr. Holmes, I am talking to you about cooperation, not listening to you explain the general environment and your attitude here. I know what the essence of cooperation is, that is, to establish fairness and justice, at least for both parties.  Under the premise that everyone can get benefits, instead of giving orders with coaxing and threats.

    As for your attitude, I admit that it can influence the trend of an organization, but no matter which country you are in, military and political affairs are separated. Although I know that with your strength, you do not take those powerful people in your eyes, but you have to admit,  Many times you can't help yourself.

    As long as we are alive today, the Holy See will definitely be defeated in Monaco. As for the existing rabble, do you think they can stop the crushing of Carmen in the last days? Orthodoxy will always be orthodox, not to mention that old William still has the title of baron.  "

    'Papa' Holmes put down his tea cup and clapped his palms continuously. A calm smile always hung on his face. As for how much scheming was hidden behind this smile, this is something that no one else knows.  .

    "I admire your iron mouth and copper teeth, but that's all. You are still alive today. I really don't think so. Who has seen you boarding the ship on the vast high seas? Of course, I can definitely take you  Let it be handled by a certain political group in France. In that case, I think the reward I will get will be even more generous."

    "Let me go, this is the rhythm of coercion and inducement, no, Mr. Holmes, you will not drug such a delicious dessert or breakfast, so that we will have no power to resist." When the warhead exaggerated  When he said these words, the leader Holmes first laughed a few times, and then repliedAnswered:

    "You can eat with confidence. No matter who it is, I can't do such a despicable thing. I like your honesty." After hearing this, Warnhead grinned and continued to enjoy the dessert in front of him.  It seems that if he shouldn't take part in something, then he should enjoy every second of leisure. It is the fear and calmness of him and the scout that invisibly boosts Xiao Sheng's momentum. As for that  Hong Fu, who never spoke a word from beginning to end, and Parker, who was very close to Holmes, are all Xiao Sheng. Now he has such great confidence

    Xiao Sheng pointed a finger at his temple with a thinking expression. When Holmes finished speaking, he replied with a smile:

    "Belief is a very miraculous existence. If you say it exists, it exists. Not only does it exist, but it also drives us to do things that we don't want to get involved in, or even resist. For example, I am the biggest person in this life.  The ideal is: sleep until you wake up naturally, count money until your hands cramp, have a brother who cannot be beaten to death, a daughter-in-law who cannot be chased away, parents who are in good health, and the whole family enjoys the happiness of a family.

    But in fact, every minute and every second, I am controlled by this ethereal and even illusory thing. I long for freedom, but I am restrained. I yearn for new life, but I have always been addicted to the cage of reality  You have been in the military longer than me, and I think you understand it more deeply than I do.

    "We can't do anything we want to do with many things. Just like what you just said, if you want to kill us, is it possible or realistic?

    If having the initiative is the biggest bargaining chip you can rely on, then we, who have the greatest ¡®right to know¡¯, also have chips no less important than you.

    The reason why you put up such a big battle is because for such a long time, neither you nor the club or the military behind you have found the location of the laboratory where Torre and Yinren cooperated.

    This kind of anti-humanity is more likely to subvert the current stable existence of Monaco, which is what you are most afraid of. In other words, from your point of view, if your rights do not allow it, you will just give up, and faith, which is more dedicated, will not  Let you stop there.

    I think you may be confused about one thing. We can sit at the same table and have breakfast, not because we are like-minded businessmen with common interests, but because we have very similar beliefs, but each has his own master.

    Summary in one sentence: We are soldiers and will never tolerate any person or organization trampling on the sovereignty of the territory we protect.  "

    "Pa bang bang" This time, not only Holmes himself, but also the taciturn young noncommissioned officer, and Parker, the warhead couldn't help but applaud.

    "That's true" Warhead and Scout both clapped and flattered.

    ¡° Staring thoughtfully at the young man in front of him, after putting away his hands that applauded him, Holmes¡¯s expression was filled with too many ambiguous changes.

    Unlike Xiao Sheng¡¯s calmness, the warhead with wide eyes turned his head, whispered beside the scout, and muttered:

    "I heard that gay sex is legal in many European countries. Our family will not let this old guy eat young grass." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Sheng, who was sitting next to him, didn't even turn his head.  The head sweeper gave him a slap, and the latter covered his head and started to laugh. This is Wartou. He can always make mistakes on his own and alleviate the embarrassment of the entire scene, thus giving his squad leader an entry point to speak. This  Behind the slap, there is more of an artificial performance

    "I heard that you took the risk to come to Europe this time because of the eldest daughter of the William family."

    "You know you are still slandering me and saying that I have some intentions. If you don't straighten your crooked intestines while chatting with you old guys, you really don't want to be serious and sit at the same table and have a good time.  Let¡¯s talk heart-to-heart, tell me if you¡¯re tired, I¡¯m tired anyway.¡±

    "Haha" This was the first time Holmes laughed heartily today. Compared with the previous times when he was trying to shock the audience, this time he seemed more sincere.

    "I'm tired. I'm tired too. It's not easy to find someone who can really talk." Just as Holmes finished speaking, a figure hurriedly appeared from the ladder of the lower cabin. The former took the  The information in his hand was respectfully handed over to the young noncommissioned officer who stood up. The latter roughly finished listening to the report and walked quickly towards the leader, Holmes.

    Holmes glanced at the information in front of him, chuckled a little, and handed the information to Parker beside him. The latter picked up the important points and glanced at Holmes in front of him in shock.  .

    "Do you owe me another favor? Torre spent a lot of money for you and controlled the entire cargo ship that was connected with them, but in the end it was all in vain. Young man, this can add more value to me.  Do you want some chips?" Xiao Sheng spread his hands after hearing the other party's sincere joke.?He nodded slightly.

    "Not only can I increase my chips, I will definitely return the favor to you."

    "Yeah." Holmes seemed very concerned about Xiao Sheng's words, but also full of surprise.
