Chapter 125: Raleigh Reaps the Fruits (Please Subscribe)
North Sea, Chanialal Island.
Raleigh's warship sailed into the harbor under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The sailors dropped the heavy anchor, secured the ship, and then set up planks to go down.
"Sir Raleigh, we have arrived at Chanialal Island."
The messenger shouted softly outside the door.
"Hmm~ so fast?"
Luo Li only remembered that after lunch, he went back to the office and took a nap, but it was suddenly afternoon.
(Sleep during work, fishing is worth 400]
Although Luo Li liked fishing, he always felt it was a waste of time.
He could obviously deepen his relationship with Gion in the afternoon, but he fell asleep due to his habit.
"Oh, I have to change my habit of sleeping during the day."
Anyway, picking up girls at work is just fishing.
Raleigh thought happily, reaching out to put the navy cloak on the hanger on his body.
Pushing open the office door, Raleigh was a little surprised to see Alice at the port.
Unexpectedly, when Raleigh came to Chanialal Island, Alice would actually come over to greet him. Anyway, if it was Raleigh, he would definitely have his men waiting here.
Raleigh showed Gion and the naval soldiers behind him, and walked off the border board.
As soon as he stepped on the road to the port, Gion showed a surprised expression.
‘Raleigh, this place seems completely different from the last time we were here. "
Gion said in surprise.
The last time they came, it was because the mafia on Chanialal Island was too rampant and the crime rate remained high, so after taking office, Raleigh came here to solve the mafia's affairs.
At that time, Chanialal Island could be said to be a prosperous and chaotic mafia paradise.
The port is full of dilapidated buildings with traces of battles, as well as garbage and even corpses everywhere.
But now it is completely different. Although the environment is not as good as the Beihai Naval Base, it seems that Nikkei is clean and tidy.
The originally crowded and disorderly street stalls on both sides of the road extending from the port have now been numbered for business.
The garbage that was originally everywhere has been cleaned up.
"Hey, what the hell is this?"
Raleigh also didn't understand what was going on here.
Lord Raleigh, you are finally here. Your faithful servant, Alice of House Salsbury, awaits your arrival. "
Alice walked up respectfully and saluted Raleigh.
Raleigh was also a little overwhelmed by Alice's words and asked quickly!
"Who told you to talk like this."
Raleigh stretched out his finger and flicked Alice's head hard.
"It hurts, Lord Raleigh."
Alice covered her little head, squatting on the ground and sulking. After Raleigh asked his navy soldiers to arrange their duties, he let them leave and went to the town to relax for a night.
The sky gradually turned dark, and the lights on the roadside came on one after another.
Alice followed Raleigh, like a bullied little daughter-in-law.
Gion looked at Alice's expression and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Alice's cheek.
Alice, who was already unhappy, became even more worried.
Sister Gion, you are just like Raleigh-sama, you know how to bully children.
Alice complained to Gion, but Gion pretended to turn his face away, not looking at Alice's resentful expression.
“Alice, how come Chanialal Island has changed so much, how long has it just been?
Raleigh suddenly spoke, interrupting the interaction between Gion and Alice.
After hearing Raleigh's question, Alice puffed up her chest proudly.
All this is due to Lord Raleigh! "
My credit? Why don't I know that myself? "
Raleigh was very puzzled as to why he didn't know what the changes on the island had to do with him.
Seeing Raleigh's puzzled expression, Alice could only remind her again:
"Lord Raleigh, do you still remember when you eliminated the Macefield family a few months ago? After that incident, the only remaining mafia family on the island was our Salisbury family."
Raleigh nodded affirmatively, of course he remembered this!
After all, it has only been a few months, and I will never forget it.
Moreover, it is precisely because the Salsbury family is his first younger brother in Beihai that this time Raleigh personally took action to solve the Salsbury family's troubles.
"That's what happened, but I don't remember giving a similar order."
Raleigh pursed his lips, looking forward to what Alice would say next.
Alice looked at Raleigh with admiration and said;
After you left Chanialal Island, Uncle Rex told me that if you want to strengthen the Salsbury family, you must follow the pace of the navy and hold on to your thighs. "
It was you who saved the Salsbury family from disaster and also wiped out all the mafia families on Chanialal Island. After that, we, the Salsbury family, were in complete control of the island. "
The more Alice talked, the more excited she became. She wanted to jump up and blow Raleigh a kiss.
Of course, she could only think about it. After all, Gion was still nearby.
Raleigh caught the key words in Alice's words and basically understood them. Although Gion also heard them, he was still a little confused.
The helpless Raleigh could only explain to Gion. He pointed at a mafia family wearing black suits standing in the night market and said:
Before our operation, countless mafia families on the island were fighting for territory and bloodshed broke out every day, but after the operation, the Salsbury family was the only one on the island. "
Without the enemy's hindrance, the Salisbury family naturally took charge of the entire island. Without the conflict between the mafia, the civilians got time to recuperate. "
Because if a mafia family wants to develop better, it must maintain its basic performance. Now it seems that the Salsbury family is doing a very good job. "
In fact, Chanialal Island is a place where you can get rich, both in terms of routes and resources.
It's a pity that there were too many mafias who wanted to make money before.
Now only the Salsbury family is left, and without the suppression of the mafia, Chanialal's economy has doubled in just a few months.
"Well, good job, Alice."
Rowley is excited to see his work being shown.
Gion stared blankly at everything familiar and unfamiliar around him, and listened to the rebellious remarks from Luo Li's mouth.
In fact, the Navy Headquarters knew about Raleigh's cooperation with the Mafia.
Both Kake and Gion had reported to the Navy Headquarters, but when they reported, they weakened their contact with the mafia and strengthened their view of the stability of the situation.
It now appears that Rowley's understanding may have been more than a generation ahead.
Although it is already dark, Chanialal Island is still brightly lit with strings of lanterns lit.
The three of Luo Li walked aimlessly on the busy streets of the town. They wanted to see if Luo Li's method worked.
"Charcoal grilled octopus, come and try it!"
Fried rice cakes, an ancestral craft!
Freshly baked octopus balls, would you like some, beauty?
The night market is very lively, different from the night market during the last operation.
At that time, traders did not dare to risk their lives to do business at night, but now the smiles on their faces prove that they are not just acting.
"Have some octopus balls."
Raleigh took out his wallet from his pocket and prepared to buy some octopus balls.
"Three hundred Baileys, thank you sir.
The vendor greeted him warmly.
Raleigh nodded, took out three Baileys from his wallet and placed them in the vendor's hand. The vendor placed a piece of hot octopus balls in Raleigh's hand, took the Baileys and put them into a large jar.
Then he counted a few small Baileys from the big jar and put them into the small jar on the side.
Seeing this scene, Gion asked curiously:
Boss, why did you separate Bailey? Just put them together.
The hawker had just made a deal and said in a good mood:
"Guest, this is our rule here. Since the Salsbury family took charge of Chanialal Island a few months ago, part of our income must be given to their family.
Gion's expression changed, and she knew that the mafia family would not be so kind.
Just as he was about to say something, Luo Li suddenly pulled his hand and left the night market.
On the road outside the night market, Gion looked at Raleigh with confusion and disappointment;
Raleigh, I originally thought that your unification of the Mafia families was really to maintain the stability of the region and protect the comfort of the civilians. Fortunately, Jiaqi and I also said a lot of good things about you in the report. "
Luoyuan's angry look made Raleigh feel very funny. After hearing this, Alice explained quickly;
No, Gion-sister, it’s none of Raleigh-sama’s business, they gave it to them voluntarily.
Instead of worrying about being displaced every day, worrying about being shot or being caught and sold, they are actually more willing to hand over some Baileys to the Mafia family as protection money. "
I asked them once and they said it was well worth it to have a stable, peaceful environment with the Salsbury family. "
Alice's words had a huge impact on Gion's perception.
Growing up in Gion, Gion has always believed that black is black and white is white.
She was so well protected that she had little chance to see the largest number of grays in the world.
Although she had experienced many dark things with Raleigh, there were still many things that were constantly impacting her cognition. At some point, Raleigh's big hand had already grasped Gion's small hand.
Gion raised his head and saw Raleigh's firm eyes under his lazy eyes:
'Whether it's keeping the Mafia or charging civilians for protection, it's a stopgap measure, a choice we make out of necessity. "
"If you want to change the structure of the world, you must first strengthen your own power, and the most important thing for strengthening your own power is to control your own basic base.
The North Sea is so vast, dotted with islands and densely populated,
Moreover, due to the martial culture and harsh environment in Beihai for hundreds of years, the physical quality of the people in Beihai is extremely high, and with a little training they can become qualified naval soldiers."
If Raleigh does not handle matters in the North Sea, then these people in the North Sea will most likely choose to go to sea and become pirates in the next era of navigation. Whether they become pirates or mafia, Raleigh does not want them to Under the control of Raleigh, the mafia families in the North Sea can control an island. In this case, they will not increase their manpower.
Because the road to outward expansion has been blocked by Raleigh, they can only develop the islands in their hands. However, there is no need to expand to develop the islands in their hands. The original manpower is enough.
Alice continued:
In the past few months, our Salisbury family has actively fought against the pirates and human traffickers who came to invade. "
"In the hearts of the islanders, the reputation of our Salisbury family has been getting better and better."
However, a mysterious force appeared some time ago and has plundered more than ten people on the island. We have no way to fight against it. That's why we asked Lord Raleigh to come here."
"If this mysterious force is not resolved soon, the reputation of our Salisbury family will be ruined."
Listening to Alice's words, Raleigh also realized the impact of this mysterious force on the Salisbury family.
To put it bluntly, the Salisbury family is now more effective than the officials on the island.
With the Salisbury family, Raleigh can control everything on Chanialal Island.
If it is lost to a mysterious force, then Raleigh's hard-earned plan will be ruined.
Because those mafia families who are frightened and forced to surrender will definitely choose to rebel at the first time if they see the failure of the navy.
", this is indeed a bit troublesome.
Roley shook his head, he was not worried about this matter."
Now he can be said to be one of the best masters in the North Sea. Since Borsalino left, he should be the strongest person in the navy.
It's just because I don't know how long I have to wait on Chanialal Island, because according to Alice,
this force has not appeared for more than a week.
'By the way, let's go to the government.
Last time I came in a hurry, and I left in a hurry. Rory didn't even bother to deal with the government officials of Chanialal Island.
Politics is about increasing friends and reducing enemies.
The relationship between the Navy and the World Government is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Rory is not afraid of things, but he doesn't want to take on things for no reason, so coming to Chanialal Island to meet government officials is also a face-saving thing.
Rory's figure has not yet reached the door of the Chanialal Island City Government. The mayor of the island has been waiting at the door to greet him.
When he saw Raleigh, he trotted to him.
Welcome Admiral Raleigh to Chanial Island to guide our work. "
Before Raleigh could speak, a flattering voice came from the thin government official in front of him, wearing black-framed glasses, a suit, and a 3:7 hair split.
"Mayor Frank, don't be nervous. I'm just here for fun."
Raleigh smiled and came to his office under Frank's guidance.
After Raleigh sat down, Frank hurriedly drove the secretary away, personally took out a box of expensive cigars from the safe in the office, and handed it to Raleigh respectfully.
Raleigh also took the cigar without hesitation and sat on the leather-wrapped sofa and smoked it!
