Chapter 136 Political Gambling
Kang Hongyuan suddenly made this request, which caught Zhao Li even more off guard. But he also knew very clearly that Kang Hongyuan was not the kind of person who was very passionate about his brain and was able to make decisions casually. Just like he came to surrender to himself, it was definitely for some unknown purpose. However, Zhao Li had no way of knowing it.
"I thought about it carefully. Maybe this is my chance to get back into the world." Kang Hongyuan still maintained the amiable and smiling old man, but Zhao Li still seemed to see a cold chill in him.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the old man to re-enter the world? Although I don’t know what crime Kang Hongyuan was going to prison for the first time, it is really not enough for those who could go to Mountbatton Special Prison to have ten or eight lives. Even if Ban Yunchan just embezzled some huge sums of money, there are still more than a dozen families behind it. Politicians like Kang Hongyuan may have more unjust souls behind it.
"Opportunity?" Zhao Li heard it very clearly. Old Man Kang used opportunities. In recent events, it seemed that only James' movements could be related to Kang Hongyuan. Did he already know what James was going to do: "Do you know James' movements?"
"I don't know." Kang Hongyuan shook his head.
"Then do you still say it's an opportunity?" Zhao Li was puzzled and didn't know anything. He just wanted to take advantage of this matter. It seemed that Kang Hongyuan was a little too hasty, right? If this was put on military operations and he didn't understand the enemy's intentions and acted rashly, it would definitely be an extremely risky action plan.
"You don't understand." Kang Hongyuan was a little disgusted with Zhao Li's confusion of politics and military. He slowly explained to Zhao Li in a tone that educates his juniors: "Politics is adventure, it is gambling, and you need to make appropriate judgments in advance. If everything is clear, then it will be too late to take action. I am betting that James and the others are going to carry out secret actions, which will allow me to gain enough capital."
"Gambling?" Zhao Li did not expect that the politics that had always believed to be very profound was described by Kang Hongyuan as such a simple term.
"Yes, it's just gambling." Kang Hongyuan nodded heavily: "If you have to wait until someone else reveals the beauty cup before betting, it would be a bit too late." This metaphor is very vivid, at least Zhao Li understood why Kang Hongyuan was so anxious to go out of the world.
"But, your identity..." Zhao Li didn't say much later. Everyone is smart. In theory, Kang Hongyuan is still a fugitive. Before he clears all his crimes, let alone being in politics. Even if he lives as a normal person, he has great difficulties. Not to mention, he is not just a fugitive, but also a serious criminal who escapes from the highest level of the military prison!
"It's okay!" Kang Hongyuan seemed to care the least about his identity: "My crime of being imprisoned is funny. It only takes one or two days to clear it up."
"So easy?" Zhao Li was a little unbelievable. Kang Hongyuan was one of the few people he didn't know the reason for being imprisoned. Others also knew the reason for being imprisoned, at least the general reason. For example, Ye Lin's laboratory accident. But several people, including Lao Kang, had no idea of the reason at all.
"Of course, what do you think?" Seeing that Zhao Li was a little disbelief, Kang Hongyuan also emphasized the rhetorical question and answered.
"Then you go to jail!" Zhao Li widened his eyes, not understanding what Kang Hongyuan was going to do, but he really couldn't figure it out. A politician, go to jail well. Isn't this slandering his resume? What will happen to such a person even after he is released from prison?
"You don't understand." Kang Hongyuan smiled inexplicably again: "In jail, you don't lose everything. Sometimes, you will get something you haven't got before."
"I don't understand!" Zhao Li lacked enough research on such a profound field, and could not keep up with the thinking of a master-level person Kang Hongyuan. However, Zhao Li had a little self-knowledge and honestly couldn't understand what he didn't understand. This is also the reason why many people like to teach him.
"Well. I don't expect you to understand this." Kang Hongyuan did not have too high demands on Zhao Li: "When you have space, go and look at the life and biography of several historical celebrities, and you may understand."
"Who are the people?" Since Kang Hongyuan mentioned it, Zhao Li did not waste this opportunity. He had to know some reasons.
"After reading the lives of these two people, Saint Gandhi of India in history and Mandela of South Africa in history, I believe you will understand why I was willing to go to jail." Speaking of these two celebrities in history, Kang Hongyuan looked respectful, as if he was the senior master he wanted to learn from.
"What are you going to do?" Since Kang Hongyuan had made a decision, Zhao Li would never try to persuade him overestimate his ability. But in this place, people who are considered Jinwuxing, naturally have to care.
"I'll make arrangements, and it should be fine in the past few days." Kang Hongyuan did not reveal the specific plan, but Zhao Li also understood that he did not continue to ask. Political affairs are sometimes the same as military ones, and there are also many secrets.
Even Kang Hongyuan was brought in in unclearly. The matter between James and Ye Lin must be extraordinary. Even if Zhao Li is a political idiot, the actions of these people, especially Kang Hongyuan's, have already shown too much.
No, if Zhao Li doesn't know how to sleep peacefully without clarifying this matter. It seems that he can only come forward to find James and ask him in person.
It is not very difficult to find James now. He logs and builds his own land every day. It turns out that those who followed him suddenly turned from drug traffickers to construction workers, very obedient.
When looking for James, you naturally have to bring Sanders and Ye Lin together. Anyway, these guys are all acquaintances, and Ye Lin and James have some secrets that are unclear. So you can just pull them up and maybe you can get specific information.
However, although James seems to have put down his drug business, his armed forces are still there. He wants to see the recently famous "Black Jack" among the militia armed forces. That is not something that ordinary people can see.
"It's you again!" Zhao Li followed the road opened by James and the others, and was about to approach the construction site where they were built. A few alert people poked out from the tree on the side of the road and politely stopped the three of them. Seeing Zhao Li, one of the young men glared at him and recognized Zhao Li.
Zhao Li also recognized the young man, the guy who allowed Zhao Li to take the police to kidnap and later was punished by James. Maybe he was worried about what happened last time. When he saw Zhao Li, he was very unfriendly.
"That's right, it's me again." Zhao Li smiled. I don't know if it's because he has been leading the army for a long time, but he naturally formed a leader's majesty. Although he is not old, it looks like that. Such a gentle smile makes the other party feel at a loss.
The other party looked at Zhao Li and stared at him. For some reason, he suddenly reached out to his mouth, scooped his lips and whistled loudly. After the whistle, a large group of people came out from the surrounding trees, all of whom were carrying weapons and pointing at Zhao Li and the other three. This posture was like treating them as enemies. And no matter how these people looked at them, they didn't look like serious construction workers and lumberjacks. It seemed that James planned to act next, but it was not necessarily such a peaceful project.
"You two, back!" The young man seemed to be a small leader, and all the people who appeared were following his command. But the first target was not Zhao Li, but Sanders and Ye Lin.
Sanders and Ye Lin didn't know what this young man meant. However, since he was here to meet James, there was no need to have a fight with his subordinates. Sanders gently pulled Ye Lin, and Ye Lin took two steps back, leaning his back against a big tree, and slowly watching the show.
"Lieutenant Zhao Li!" The young man called out the name of Zhao Li in one mouthful. This is not surprising. From the day the black prison was completely eliminated, Zhao Li and the military camp's reputation had spread throughout the Golden Five Stars. If such an important and famous person, James, who was responsible for the gatekeeper here, would not know, that would be a strange thing.
"Last time, I was punished by the boss because I allowed you to take the police to meet the boss." The young man looked at Zhao Li and spoke very unfriendly: "I have never understood that there are too many people who are allowed to take the bayonet to see the boss. The boss has never punished me for allowing one person to take an ordinary police to. You have such courage at a young age and dare to destroy the black prison. I admire you, but I still don't accept it."
"I want to compete with you!" The young man finally expressed his intention. However, such a confrontation made Zhao Li a little amused. What is this logic? If he made a mistake, he would blame others? It seems that James controlled these people and did not bring his way of being in the army.
The young man looks a little older than Zhao Li. It is probably someone who James believes in the responsibility of being entrusted with the goalkeeper. After saying so many reasons, according to Zhao Li's judgment, the biggest possibility is that Zhao Li himself has been too popular in the Golden Five Star recently, and it is possible that James even praised a few words, which made his subordinates dissatisfied.
It is impossible not to say that Zhao Li has been in the limelight recently. Not to mention the first-level Red Star Medal, but the elimination of the black prison and the inducement of a whole fleet circling over the head of the Golden Five Star, it has become a well-known thing for everyone in the Golden Five Star. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. At a young age, they are so popular that they are not attracted by others.
Zhao Li looked at the other party with a smile and didn't speak for a while. This move was learned from Kang Hongyuan. At least at any time, he faced people with a smile, which easily made people relax their vigilance towards himself. Zhao Li unknowingly forgot about Kang Hongyuan's danger, which shows that this move is indeed effective.
"I don't know, how do you want to compete?" Zhao Li finally asked.
"You use your police crook, I use this!" As he said that, the young man pulled out two short sticks about the same length as the police crook from his back and held them in his hand.
"Okay!" Without thinking much, Zhao Li directly agreed to the young man's request. While answering, he pulled out his pistol and a baton and threw it directly to Sanders behind him.
"Betting, betting, the two are duels, one pays one!" Sanders, the guy, received Zhao Li's weapon, didn't say how to keep it, and he just left his waist, took off his hat, and started shouting at the surroundings.
Zhao Li has always paid great attention to the discipline of the soldiers, so this kind of thing has never happened under his command. The moment he heard Sanders' voice, Zhao Li couldn't help turning around and looking at the disrespectful guy. Is this what a special forces instructor should do? Don't look at where this is. Although the militants around him are covered by James' face, will they come with the "enemy" at this time?
Just as he had this idea, a scene that made Zhao Li dumbfounded appeared in front of him. The scene in front of him made Zhao Li unable to believe it anyway. What he saw and heard now was actually true.
"I bet Quincy wins for a thousand dollars!"
"I bet on Quincy, five hundred!"
"Quncy, six hundred!"
In a blink of an eye, a small pile of money was added to James' hat. Ye Lin next to him also used his expert memory and repeated each other's bets one by one.
Is this a soldier? Zhao Li can't imagine how much combat effectiveness the soldiers involved in gambling can have. Is it a bit of a joke that James wants to rely on these people to conquer the world? Is Sanders' behavior a bit too much?
No matter what Zhao Li thought, Sanders happily presided over his banknote work. He sorted out all the banknotes, rolled them into a stack and held them in his hands, and shouted to Zhao Li: "Hey, no one will win, it seems that you are not favored! Boy, you have to work hard, don't make me lose money!"
Zhao Li doesn't like gambling, but he doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the meaning of everyone suppressing Quincy. This situation only shows that everyone here has firm confidence in the young man named Quincy and firmly believes that he will win Zhao Li. This kind of trust is usually only one form of gaining, that is, through continuous victory.
It seems that Quincy in front of him is not a simple person. Zhao Li looked at his opponent, smiled at him again, slowly pulled out the police and held it in his hand.
Quincy, opposite, grabbed two short sticks in his hands, made a provocative look at Zhao Li, and then slowly began to retreat to free up the distance between the two.
