I Have 48 Hours a Day

Chapter 192 Win-Win

"Aren't you going to explain what happened on the beach?" Honig said unkindly.

"Beach? What's the matter?" Zhang Heng asked back.

Honig cursed shamelessly. Everyone knew who did what happened on the beach, but Zhang Heng did not leave any direct evidence. More importantly, Wilton and his group of pirates were all dead. I can't even find my personal ID.

Honig didn't want to wrestle with this issue, and said bluntly, "Aren't you worried that your actions will cause public anger on the island by shelling the ships anchored in the port and killing the entire pirate group?"

"So who's going to be mad at that?"

Honig was at a loss for words.

He was only annoyed by the trouble Zhang Heng caused, but he didn't have time to think about it. The two problems he mentioned are really serious for the pirates on the island. Enemy, no one wants to have their throat cut while sleeping.

But the key point is that the identity of the gang on the Skeleton is not pirates on the island, but a group of outsiders, and their previous arrogant behavior has actually attracted the disgust of many people. It can be seen that they have no sympathy for Wilton's death, but are only shocked by Zhang Heng's decisiveness.

Of course, the resulting guard is also there, but it is not too strong.

Zhang Hengdao, "Captain Honig, I know that you have paid a lot to maintain the order on the island. Because of the existence of you and your crew, Nassau has been able to enjoy peace until now. For this, I am as grateful as everyone else on the island. And you have no intention of undermining your efforts. You have also been in contact with Wilton, and you should be very clear about what kind of person he is. With all due respect, your expectations were impossible to achieve from the very beginning. He and his group I won’t stay on the island honestly.”

"So I should thank you for helping me solve this trouble?" Honig sneered.

"In all fairness, would you rather see his dead body on the beach and reason with me when you wake up in the morning, or see my dead body and reason with him?" Zhang Heng said calmly.

Honig is silent, even if he gets angry now, he has to admit that compared to the gang of skeletons who are completely unreasonable, it only depends on whose fists are big, at least Zhang Heng is still willing to be reasonable, but when he thinks about it, he is The latter, who is reasonable, just took away Wilton and his group, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his ass.

But by this time, his anger was almost gone, and after all, Zhang Heng didn't do anything wrong. Although the whole of Nassau knew who killed the gang from the Skeleton, at least Zhang Heng didn't admit it on the surface. Things are what he does.

The question now is how he should deal with the impact of this matter. If he didn't have to worry so much before, he could just hold Zhang Heng accountable, and even use his prestige to drive the latter out of the island. But now with Zhang Heng's prestige, it is already difficult for him to do this, but if he compromises on this and does nothing, he will appear too weak, and he doesn't know whether he can hold the fort in the future.

He is used to life on land, and he can't go back to sea.

Honig was in a dilemma, but Zhang Heng on the opposite side spoke first, "There are many people who don't realize the importance of Captain Honig to the stability of Nassau, only when you and your men are guarding the coast. We can go to sea with peace of mind, but guarding Nassau should never be the responsibility of only one person."

Honig raised his eyebrows, waiting for Zhang Heng's next words.

As expected, the latter did not disappoint him, Zhang Heng paused and continued, "I would like to make a statement to guard the fort with Captain Honig. Of course, the fort is still controlled by you and your people in normal times." , only when there is danger, my people will join the battle, and any provocation against you will also be regarded as a provocation against the Jackdaw."

As soon as Zhang Heng finished speaking, he saw a group of people from a distance rushing here with a murderous look.

The leader was Domingo. Although he was drunk, he was shocked when he heard that Honig asked Zhang Heng to question him. What Zhang Heng did had already spread on the island. Although there were not many people on the Jackdaw, But now no one dared to underestimate him. Domingo worried about Honig's safety and almost brought everyone in the fort.

Everyone is ready to face a fierce battle. Although their strength has degraded to a certain extent over the years, they do not have any problems in loyalty. When they came here to take a look, they saw Honig and Zhang Heng There was no sign of any tension at all, on the contrary, the two had a very happy chat.

Domingo couldn't understand it, but he didn't care so much, and he was relieved to see that Honig was fine.

"I'm old, and now is the time for you young people." Honig said with emotion before leaving, "You and Sam are the future of Nassau, and our old arms and legs can only get along with a pile of rags. Stone stay together, but don't worry, as long as I stay in that fortress for a day, I will guard the rear for you for a day, so that you can ride the sea with confidence."

…………

The reason why Zhang Heng chose to kill Wilton so simply was because he knew very well that the relationship between the two parties was a life-and-death rivalry, and there was no room for maneuver from the very beginning. When Wilton repaired the boat, his body would be on the beach, so Zhang Heng decided to do it when no one thought of it.

In addition, he also wanted to use Wilton's body to convey a message-anyone who dared to touch Karina's transport ship, this would be the end.

He has completely broken with the Black Merchants Alliance. Now it's not just Karina who can't do without the Jackdaw, the latter is equally important to the Jackdaw. The female businessman is the only channel for the Jackdaw to transport the spoils out of the island. Zhang Heng This channel must be secured.

As for the conflict between him and Honig, it does not lie in the matter itself. The key lies in Honig's control over the fortress. This problem is actually not difficult to solve. The alliance between Zhang Heng and Honig is the result of thinking. .

Among the two veteran pirates in Nassau, he has already broken up with Fraser. At this time, Honig's support is extremely important to him. On the other hand, Honig's prestige is still there, but his strength can no longer match With the Jackdaw a powerful new ally, he would also be able to consolidate his hold on the fortress compared to a few years ago.

Zhang Heng himself has no interest in the fortress, and at his age, it is impossible to imitate Honig and nest in it. On the contrary, having an ally who controls the fortress is more meaningful to him.

In short, this is a win-win option, and Honig has no reason to refuse.
