Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty: A friend's best friend, an enemy's worst enemy.
After sitting back on the sofa, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ivan, how should I pay?"
Da Ivan shook his finger and said with a relaxed look: "Mr. Ram, before discussing the payment method, can you tell me why I should send Rishin Maple to the bottom of the sea? Are you a radical animal protectionist?"
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No, I have never been an animal protectionist, let alone radical. I will never deliberately kill certain animals, nor will I deliberately protect certain animals."
Da Ivan shrugged and said, "Then I'm very surprised. Twenty million US dollars are not a decimal, and it's all your wealth. You pay all your wealth to protect the whale. Why?"
Gao Yang smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood. I want to kill a whaling fleet does not mean that I am protecting whales. In fact, it is for my girlfriend."
Ivan said with a confused look on his face: "So, your girlfriend is a radical animal protectionist?"
Gao Yang sighed: "No, my girlfriend is not an animal protectionist either, she is just an ordinary little girl."
Big Ivan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ram, you are willing to use your entire wealth to sink a whaling ship. There must be a reason. Can you tell me the reason directly?"
Gao Yang thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "First, my girlfriend was hit by the crew on the Rishin Maru and fell into the sea with an iron hook. She has not yet escaped danger. Second, I am a Chinese and there is no reason to beat the Japanese. Third, the Japanese slaughtered whales in the name of scientific research and whaling. This behavior is shameless and makes me very upset."
After saying that, Gao Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "The third reason can be ignored. The second reason is that although I hate the Japanese very much, I will not use all my wealth to kill their whaling ship. If I really want to destroy Japan, I will choose to go to Japan. Therefore, I am willing to use all my wealth to kill a whaling ship that has nothing to do with me. It is because that ship hurts my girlfriend, that's that simple."
Ivan said with a look of surprise: "This is really unfortunate news. I sympathize with your girlfriend's experience, but sorry. I am even more curious now. Why did your girlfriend get hit by a Japanese whaling ship in the Antarctic Ocean with an iron hook?"
Gao Yang felt that Big Ivan had a lot of questions, but he still answered Big Ivan's question. He said: "One of my friends, who are also my girlfriend's friends, invited my girlfriend to go to Antarctica to participate in an operation called the Sea Guardians Association to protect whales, so I asked my girlfriend to go there. Then, while they were stopping whaling ships, my girlfriend was injured by the crew on Rishin Maru's head with an iron hook."
Big Ivan frowned and said, "Your girlfriend. How is she doing now?"
Gao Yang shook his head with a calm face and said, "I don't know, I can't contact her. In fifty-three hours, she will be sent to the port of Punta Arenas in Chile, so I have to get there in fifty-three hours."
Ivan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Now I understand why you sent the Rishin Maru to the bottom of the sea, but please be honest. Mr. Ram, I know what the Ocean Guardians Association does. The Ocean Guardians Association forcibly prevented Japanese whaling ships, and the Japanese whaling ships counterattacked and forced whaling. Such things happen repeatedly every year, and injuries often occur, but in the confrontation. This is a normal thing. Because your girlfriend is injured, you have to send a ship and crew to the bottom of the sea, or even a fleet. Will it be too domineering if you do this? Or, you don't seem to be on the side of justice?"
Gao Yang said: "Mr. Ivan, I am a mercenary. When did mercenaries become synonymous with justice?"
After being slightly stunned, Ivan immediately chuckled and said, "What do you mean?"
Gao Yang sneered with a ferocious look on his face: "I am a mercenary. If you want to reason with me, then point a gun at my head. Otherwise, I will reason with a mercenary who is a profession of murder and justice? Mr. Ivan, your joke is not funny.
If I don’t have the ability, then my girlfriend and friends were hurt this time, I can only talk and protest, forget it, but protest is just fart. I am a mercenary, and what I can do is kill people. Now I have the ability to kill those Japanese bastards, so my girlfriend and a good friend were beaten into the sea by those bastards on the Rishin Maru, and I will send all the damn bastards to the bottom of the sea!
I don’t care whether my family and friends are on the right side or the evil side. I will kill anyone who provokes my relatives and friends. In China, my behavior is called helping relatives or not, and it is also called protecting the shortcomings, but it doesn’t matter, I am very happy to do this.
For me, whoever hurts my family and my friends is my enemy, and I have only one principle to treat the enemy, kill him!"
After saying it coldly, Gao Yang, who had been suppressing his anger, was a little out of control. He had never expressed his anger towards anyone, but at this time he stood up, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted fiercely: "In the eyes of family and friends, I may be a good person and an angel, but I have never really regarded myself as a good person.
To the enemy, I must be the bad guy they hate and the devil they fear, so let the bullshit truth and justice go to hell, dare to hit my girlfriend, I will destroy his whole family! I want to let all the Japanese bastards in a fleet die!
I am the best friend of my friend! I am the worst enemy of the enemy! I don’t know if I have achieved it as my best friend, but I am confident that I have achieved it as the worst enemy of the enemy because all my enemies are dead, and now, I want to continue to maintain this good record, so the Japanese bastard of that whaling fleet must die!”
After shouting at the top of his lungs, Gao Yang realized his disobedience. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to speak, but Ivan stood up from the sofa and shouted: "It's very good, he is my friend's best friend and the enemy's worst enemy. I like this sentence. I like your attitude and style of doing things. For your words, I promise Rishinmaru will go where you want it to go, no, it's a fleet."
Big Ivan is not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall, neither burly nor fat, and looks a little thin. He is wearing a dress that is not fit, and has a mustache on his dry face. He looks like an ordinary middle-aged man in Russia, and is the most inconspicuous one. However, when Big Ivan stands up and speaks proudly, he gives Gao Yang the feeling that this person is so imposing.
Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Sorry, Mr. Ivan, I have lost my composure. I've been a little angry recently. I'm very sorry."
Ivan waved his hand and said, "No, you don't need to apologize at all. I admire you. As an arms dealer, it seems to be a matter of being a friend with a mercenary. I've made up your friend for the words you are the best friend."
Gao Yang said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, there is no better friend than me, no worse enemy than me. This is the motto of the US Marine Corps, not what I said."
Da Ivan said with a serious face: "Real friends do not look at how they usually say big things, but how they do it. You can say this and do it. This is the most important thing. I repeat that I like your attitude and style of doing things. For this reason, I will make concessions to this transaction again."
After saying that, Ivan waved his hand and said with a heroic look on his face: "You pay 10 million US dollars first. If you kill Rishin Mast, then pay the remaining 10 million. If you don't sink Rishin Mast, you won't have to pay the remaining 10 million US dollars, that's it."
Uri Yangke looked surprised and said to Gao Yang: "Ram, you must know that such a transaction must be paid first, and the full payment will be paid."
Da Ivan waved his hand and said with emotion: "Ram, people like you are rare now. People nowadays always talk about friendship, but at the critical moment, they take money more seriously. You are willing to spend all your property just to vent your anger. I must say that such behavior is stupid and stupid."
Uri Yangke said in a singular voice: "That's right, it's definitely a very stupid behavior. If I were to do this, I would never have done this."
Big Ivan spread his hands, shrugged, and said helplessly to Uriyangko: "But the problem is that there are too many smart people like you now, and it is difficult for you to find stupid guys like Ram, so you have to be kind to him."
Uri Yangke was stunned and said, "It seems like this. There are smart people everywhere in this world. They usually call each other brothers, but when they see the benefits, they will fight to the death. No one is willing to suffer any loss. There are indeed few fools like Ram who don't care about money. No, I have never seen them before. No wonder I would rather give up four million dollars and help Ram promote this business. It turns out that I also cherish my friendship with fools like Ram."
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You are saying I am stupid, and I am foolish. Should I understand your words as praise for me or praise?"
