Chapter 108 Dignity, bombing, I will go too?
Ralph was reading quietly in the room, and his son served him like a housekeeper, sometimes adding water to his father's teacup and sometimes bringing some late-night snacks.
When the knock on the door sounded, Ralph closed the book and nodded slightly to his son Bend. If someone knocked on the door on this ship, he must have come to find Ralph.
After the door opened, Bend saw the person standing outside the door, a gentle Tang Xin, and said politely: "Mr. Tang, good evening, please come in."
Tang Xin nodded and walked in. Ralph reached out and gestured to let Tang Xin sit down. Ralph was wearing a coat, and Tang Xin took off the coat that He Min had just given him, held it in his hand, and looked at Bende after sitting down, and said a few compliments.
"Bend, you go out first."
Ralph saw that Tang Xin had something to say, and that these words must be only spoken by them when they were present.
After Bend left the room, Ralph stared at Tang Xin lightly and said, "Tang Xin, if you have anything, just say it. There is an old saying that the person who knows you best is your enemy. We should know each other very well."
Tang Xin agreed and said: "Yes, you know me, and I know you too. You are always thinking about how to kill me and avoid my people from taking crazy revenge on your family afterwards. But can you tell me what I am thinking at this moment?"
Ralph sneered at the hearing: "Tang Xin, you have changed. In the past, you were unscrupulous and seemed to have to step on all the powerful people that appeared in front of you, so that you can know your strength. Your fearlessness and your ability to plot against others. Haha. You are young, but you understand the most powerful skills of survival in the world. Only those who can use good people are qualified to take power, and you happen to be such a person. What are you thinking? I don't know what happened to you. Maybe you are really tired of killing and fighting. You begin to disdain. You begin to restrain yourself, as if you have become uncontested and determined to live a peaceful and peaceful life. You are wrong, and your destination can only be the battlefield."
Tang Xin sighed softly, among many people. Indeed, Ralph's understanding of him is deeper than that of many people. Although they meet from time to time, they always listen to each other's information regularly. This alternative divine friendship is a process of in-depth understanding.
Know what the other person is doing in daily life, where the attention is, even the habits of food and travel, etc.
"Yes, I don't want to continue fighting anymore."
Ralph narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "So. Are you here to seek peace?"
"You are already sixty years old. In Chinese words, you are 60 and obedient. As you said, yes, no matter how you understand, let go of grudges, you and you are rational and cruel and sharp. The reason why we have never taken action is actually a profit and loss consideration. If I kill you, your people will retaliate against me crazily. My family, if you kill me, my people will do the same thing, and it will not be worth the loss. Therefore, we have been restraining and forming a strange peace. But one day, you will die of old age, your descendants will take over, will the heirs be like you? Will you consider the interests between gains and losses? If it is a mad dog and starts a war, then in the end, both sides may suffer losses. The difference is that who wants to dig more graves for your relatives. So, I hope we can let go of grudges and end it."
Tang Xin looked at Ralph with frank eyes. The other party fell silent. The room was silent, and only the subtle sound of waves came into his ears from the outdoors, as if reminding the flow of time.
Ralph said with a blank expression: "Then are you ready to apologize to my grandpa?"
Hearing this, Tang Xin shook his head without changing his face and said in a deep voice: "Ralph, I have no apology. To be honest, I salvaged the wreck and threw your grandfather's corpse into the bottom of the sea, like garbage. Is this my fault? No, it's your fault. He is your family. Why? You didn't find your grandfather's corpse before me? You shouldn't blame me, it's because you didn't do enough!"
"All nonsense! Tang Xin, the glory of the Hohenzollern family, even the dead, cannot be defiled! And do you, after you did such a thing, still expect me to shake hands with you? You have no sincerity to apologize!"
Ralph's face suddenly changed and he scolded the man opposite him coldly.
Tang Xin sighed softly and said helplessly: "Ralph, we shake hands and make peace. It's not that anyone is afraid of anyone, but that we just don't want the tragedy to happen. There is no right or wrong in the war, only the difference between standing and falling down. Haven't you ever thought that one day, maybe, you descended from Hohenzollern, will have no descendants of your descendants!"
Ralph stood up and said in anger: "If you compromise like this and give up the humiliation you encountered for your ancestors, what if you live? The people in our family have dignity!"
Looking up at Ralph in front of him, Tang Xin couldn't understand his anger.
Everyone is a clean and simple piece of paper from birth, and Tang Xin is no exception. The environment he has been influenced by since childhood has portrayed him into a very realistic person.
Dignity is kept by people, but what exactly is dignity?
Is it dignity that I envy others but pretend to be noble?
Is this dignity that is being bullied but pretending to be a gentleman without fighting with the world?
Tang Xin didn't understand that for him, in his past life, there was never a concept of dignity, only strength and weakness, truth and falsehood.
When facing the enemy, if the enemy is strong and we are weak, he will use strategies to deal with it. If he still cannot defeat such an enemy, he will choose to retreat, either work hard to strengthen himself or give up the idea of confrontation.
In order to take into account everything he cherishes from his family and everything he cherishes around him, he always takes care of it when thinking about doing things. He is not going to change him like this because he doesn't want to taste the taste of loss. If he sacrifices what he cherishes and wins, he is not sure that he can raise his head proudly. In that case, is it called dignity?
Ralph Mezger, a German royal family and descendant of Hohenzollern, his ancestors were taken off the throne, his grandmother fled from his motherland, and his father returned to Germany to carry out the great cause of family rejuvenation, and today. Ralph carried everything from his ancestors, whether honor or shame, on his shoulders. Perhaps because of such a family history, he could express his dignity.
Tang Xin did not have that level of enlightenment at this moment. For him, it may take a long time, a long time to continue the Tang family. He will realize the dignity of family when he enjoys this glorious power for a long time and subtly transforms him from an ordinary soul to the noble that everyone yearns for.
And such dignity is by no means the dignity that ordinary people often say proudly.
Tang Xin stood up, his eyes became cold, and he whispered: "Since that's the case, Ralph. Then I will never stop between you and you, and I promise that if the person who fell down first was you, your descendants, I will not leave any of you. Even one day, I will subvert the Deutsche Bank consortium, steal you, and everything your father has for it."
Ralph showed a grim smile and said with a sharp look: "Same for me, everything about you is coveted."
Tang Xin walked slowly to the door with his coat, opened the door and passed by Bend, who was waiting outside the door.
Bend returned to the room and closed the door, and asked Ralph, who sat down and looked serious, "Father, what are he doing?"
Ralph shook his head and said without saying a word, slowly closed his eyes, and said in his heart: Tang Xin, your death is coming soon.
......
Two days later, the ship, which turned into a cargo transport ship, came to the Pacific Ocean and slowed down when passing an island.
Tang Xin, Ralph, Buvakoyev, and Carter stood together on the bow deck, holding a telescope in their hands, observing the movements in the northeast direction.
There, there is a deserted island that looks ordinary.
It is the island where the Minoan League is located.
Tang Xin put down the telescope and said lightly: "We slowed down the speed of the ship. If we keep doing this, it will cause suspicion. The other party is a submarine loaded with missiles. If we launch missiles and bombard us, we will be seeking death."
"We can't continue to drag here. When will Bovakoyev start to act?"
Ralph's face was calm, but his words obviously agreed with Tang Xin.
Their ships were traveling at a slow speed, less than ten nautical miles from the island. If they aroused suspicion and were attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Buvakoyev took out a pocket watch and looked at the calm sea in the distance and said leisurely: "Three minutes, three minutes later, the eyes will become different."
Carter also held a watch in his hand, and after seeing it, Feng Qingyun smiled faintly.
Everyone held their breath and focused, staring at the calm island in the distance.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Tang Xin was about to question Buvakoyev, a shocking sound came from the sea. The calm sea suddenly seemed to explode, causing huge waves!
Boom, boom, boom!
In an instant, two columns of water exploded on the sea around the island.
The people on the boat held the railings, and the waves hit and made the hull sway.
He Tianci was soaked by the sea water, but he stood beside the boat and stared at the distant sea surface, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Look! Submarine!"
Everyone looked up and saw that on the sea in the distance, there was obviously a submarine rising from the sea and then slowly sinking. There was naturally the place where the explosion occurred. When Tang Xin saw this scene, he turned his head and looked at Carter, and the other party chuckled and shrugged.
It is obvious that the US submarines have set an appointment to launch an attack on two submarines near this sea area. And if nothing unexpected happens, the two submarines have sunk. Although the direction of the explosion of the other submarine is far away, judging from the sound and the waves raised, it should be impossible to make a mistake.
At this moment, several fighter planes flew past the sky. Tang Xin looked up and looked like a giant bird crossing his sight, flying straight to the island, and bombing was launched when he flew past!
Boom boom boom boom!
Tang Xin was completely stunned. The smoke of gunpowder was filled with fire and the light of fire soared into the sky. The movements on the sea before quickly disappeared. The submarine sunk under the sea was not in sight and was quickly forgotten. The gap in the sea surface that had been exploded before swept across the submarine like a shroud and fell into the arms of the god of death. The island in front of him seemed to be a real and shocking war blockbuster!
The primeval forest on the deserted island was ignited by a fire, the mountains collapsed, and the rolling stones fell along the slope. Tang Xin picked up the telescope and observed the details without blinking. After the bombing, smoke and dust covered the sky and could hardly see anything. However, on the coast, he really saw someone running to the beach, trying to push the speedboat from behind the rocks into the sea to escape. Looking at the outfits of those people, the flat collar slim black suit, it was indeed the dress of the Minoan League when it always appeared in front of the world.
Crazy
On the cargo ship where they were, Buvakoyev ordered people to lift the curtain of the cargo and commanded people to throw the speedboat into the sea, then put down the ropes, and ordered people to board the ship and go to the island one by one, and to start the killing action.
Tang Xin looked around and was surprised to find Carter wearing a bulletproof vest. He asked in disbelief: "What are you doing?"
Carter said without any raising his head for granted, "Go to the island! I don't want anyone under his command to get the scientific information of the Minos Alliance as soon as possible, and then escape, the temptation of technology, haha, can create a business empire, just like your success."
As he spoke, he had already put on his bullet vest and bent down to re-tickle his shoelaces for the boots he used to run around the wild.
Tang Xin was stunned, and Ralph said behind him again: "I am old, so let my son go for me. Bend, you must obey Mr. Buvakoyev's command, do you know?"
Bend, who was fully armed and ready to set off, nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, father!"
Tang Xin's eyes turned, and saw Buvakoyev put the last speedboat on the boat into the water, directing the ground troops armed personnel brought by Ralph on the speedboat, and then he climbed down the rope, Bend followed closely behind. Before Carter went down, he found Tang Xin standing in place without moving, frowned and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and wear a bulletproof vest and come with us!"
