The white man who had been sitting aside without saying a word was wearing a pair of glasses that looked like he had broken his leg several times, and his eyes were somewhat profound.
After hearing the words of the bearded white man, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with his hand, which seemed to be about to fall off at any moment.
His voice was a little hoarse and he said:
"As far as I know, they started slowly approaching the dock in the past two days!
If they really wanted to intercept the next group of newcomers who came to the island, why did they have to wait a few days before going there? "
After listening to the words of the skinny man named Nathan, the bearded white man thought for a while and then said:
"You mean, their purpose is not to intercept the next batch of new people coming to the island?
So what are they going to do?
You can’t be trying to grab the boat and leave, right? "
Before anyone could answer, he himself shook his head and rejected the answer.
"No, they were not exiled to the island.
At the beginning, they said they were deported and would not be able to return to Brazil if they robbed the boat.
Besides, the boat escorting the prisoners had machine guns, so it would be impossible for them to rob the boat. "
Everyone also fell into deep thought.
This was a young black man who said:
“I heard that they had support in Brazil, so they were not repatriated directly, but were sent to the island for temporary resettlement.
Once the news has passed, they will be brought back to Brazil.
Could it be that the rumor has passed now?
Will someone come to pick them up soon? "
People around him began to whisper among themselves.
A strong black man with a sinewy face was a little overwhelmed by everyone's comments. He stood up from the tree stump where he was sitting and said:
"What's there to talk about? No matter what the purpose of those little dwarfs is,
We just drove them away and occupied the dock. If anything good happened, it would be our own fault. "
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it.
They all stood up and echoed:
"Yes! Boss,
We directly occupy the dock, and no matter what they want to do, they have to take us with them. "
The middle-aged skinny white man named Nathan also smiled and said after listening to the strong black man's words:
“This is also a simple and direct method.
However, there are far more of these dwarfs than us.
Seizing the dock with them may cause a lot of casualties!
Shall we call Pulsatilla and the others together? "
When the bearded boss heard what Nathan said, he waved his hands with some disdain and said:
"What's the point of calling out those political prisoners? It's just lip service.
If those few who had been soldiers hadn't still had some fighting ability, I would have swallowed them up long ago. "
Others also shouted loudly!
"It's just that these people are of no use at all. If there is any benefit at that time, we will give them a share.
It would be better if we act on our own. "
The middle-aged, skinny white man waited for everyone to express their opinions before he coughed twice and said:
"Cough, cough, I know they don't have much fighting power.
But we don’t have as many people as the dwarfs. If there are too many casualties, will we be taken advantage of by Pulsatilla and the others? "
Upon hearing this, the bearded boss was stunned and immediately reacted.
This was because he was afraid that both he and the Japanese would suffer a lose-lose situation, and that they would be taken advantage of by the political prisoners like Pulsatilla.
He laughed loudly, patted Nathan hard on the shoulder and said:
"Haha... You are still smart, you really didn't read this book in vain.
That's right, we can't let the Pulsatilla gang take advantage of us, we must take them with us.
Come on, let's go meet Pulsatilla and the others now. "
In fact, there are currently three forces on the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
This bearded man was originally the strongest group, with a total of six to seven hundred people.
They are all composed of serious criminals. These people are brave and fierce. Most of them were exiled to the island because of life lawsuits.
The other group is what he calls the "Pulsatilla" force. These people are composed of some exiled political prisoners.
Because some of the political prisoners were military officers, their combat effectiveness was not weak, but their number was small, only two to three hundred.
Finally, there are the Japanese who have the largest number of people.
A group of people broke into the Pulsatilla's territory in a mighty manner.
Many of the people on Pulsatilla's side were educated intellectuals. After hearing their intentions, they all shook their heads.
Clay Hope, who was called Pulsatilla, was an old white man with completely white hair. The nickname came from his snow-white hair.
Looking at the menacing crowd, Clay Hope smiled gently and said:
“Falk Pinto I am old and not as aggressive as you young people.
Since you feel that it is unacceptable for the Japanese to occupy the dock, you can directly go to war with the other party.
We won't participate. "
After speaking, he glanced at Nathan, who was wearing glasses, and smiled:
"Don't worry, no matter whether we win or lose, we will not do anything to take advantage of others."
There seemed to be something in his smile.
After hearing what he said, the bearded white boss Falk Pinto said nonchalantly:
"Mr. Hope, don't get me wrong, we are not worried that you will take advantage of others.
Instead, he felt that someone might be coming to pick up these Japanese. This was a rare opportunity. Doesn’t Mr. Hope not want to return to Brazil? "
Clay Hope, the white-headed old man, smiled and said unmoved:
"Falk Pinto, do you think if someone really wants to come and pick up the Japanese?
Will the other party let you board the ship together just because you occupied the dock?
Aren't you afraid of facing machine gun fire from the ship? "
These words made the bearded Falk Pinto's face change drastically, right! If that's the case, wouldn't seizing the dock mean you're going to die?
The faces of the people following the bearded man also changed drastically.
With their bare hands, they did not dare to face machine gun fire.
Standing next to the bearded man, Nathan, a skinny man with glasses, did not expect that Clay Hope would destroy the fighting spirit of their team with just one word.
His eyes moved, he coughed twice and said:
"Mr. Hope, these are some of our guesses.
Do you think it's possible that someone wants to deliver supplies to the island?
Is the purpose of the Japanese occupying the dock just to wait to receive supplies? "
Hearing this, everyone around the bearded Falk Pinto's eyes lit up and they became restless.
Even on the side of Clay Hope, the white-headed man, there are many people who are starting to make moves.
Clay Hope swept his eyes and saw everyone's reactions.
He once again focused his attention on the thin man with glasses named Nathan. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he continued calmly:
"Why do you think people transporting supplies are not protected by weapons?"
Nathan did not panic and continued to smile:
“Then we can also grab supplies on their way back!
People who transport goods can't go all the way to their station! "
The conversation between the two aroused the enthusiasm of everyone around them.
The people who had originally followed the bearded Falk Pinto now directly attacked the dock and seized ownership of the dock from the Japanese.
But Clay Hope shattered everyone's illusions with a few words,
But Nathan, a thin man with glasses, gave them hope again.
You must know that on this island where prisoners are exiled, they can only live a life similar to that of primitive people.
They are very thirsty for the materials of a civilized society.
Everyone knows that these Japanese people are different from them.
They were not forced into exile, but chose to land on the island to develop.
That they can communicate with the outside world,
In other words, will the outside world deliver a batch of supplies to them every once in a while?
No one dares to say that this is not possible.
Even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, they will not give up the opportunity to snatch supplies.
As for the Japanese being three times their number, that's a small thing.
After all, there are old, weak, women and children among the Japanese.
Most of them are young adults.
What's even more hateful is that there are women among those Japanese.
This is a fatal attraction for the prisoners on the island.
It is precisely because of this situation that there is a deep conflict between these two groups of people on the island and the Japanese.
Conflicts would break out between the two sides from time to time.
But because the strength of the prime men on both sides was not much different, everyone was maintaining restraint.
But a larger-scale conflict is only a matter of time.
Therefore, when Nathan talked about robbing supplies when the Japanese returned to their base, almost everyone began to become restless.
"Yes, we robbed these Japanese dwarfs."
"I will also steal their women."
"Haha...yes, yes, steal women."
"Yes, we want to rob supplies and women."
At first, there were only a few scattered people shouting loudly, and slowly more and more people started shouting.
The shouting became louder and louder, and became more uniform.
"Steal supplies! Steal women!"
"Steal supplies! Steal women!"
As everyone shouted, Ryan Hope's face became more and more ugly.
His eyes were fixed on the skinny man with glasses, Nathan, who had caused the trouble.
"Aren't you afraid that there are weapons in the materials delivered by the other party?"
Nathan glanced at the white-headed guy Ryan Hope mockingly, laughed and said:
"If you have weapons, you have to grab them even more. Otherwise, do you think we would be better off if the other party had weapons?"
This time, even the middle-aged man who had been standing behind Ryan Hope began to look ugly.
He whispered into Ryan Hope's ear:
“Sir, Nathan is right.
If the other party really transports weapons to the island, we will have to snatch them.
Otherwise, we may become slaves of the Japanese. "
As the leader of the political prisoners on the island, Ryan Hope, the white-headed man, did not want to have a fierce conflict with the Japanese on the island.
In fact, he was very happy to see the bearded savages Falk Pinto and the Japanese dwarf fight against both sides.
Therefore, he has always restrained the people on his side not to have direct conflicts with the Japanese.
Unexpectedly, this time because of the Japanese's sudden occupation of the dock,
Let the bearded people start to get restless.
And this damn Nathan took the opportunity to stir up his people.
In fact, this thin man with glasses named Nathan turned out to be one of their political prisoners.
It can even be said to be his important assistant and right-hand man.
But after being exiled to this small island, everyone began to live precariously and life was very difficult.
I was suppressed and bullied by serious criminals everywhere.
Because of his thin body and poor physical fitness, Nathan could not do any heavy physical work.
Often bullied by serious criminals.
At that time, Nathan called on all political prisoners to unite and fight against the oppression of these heavy-duty prisoners.
But at that time, Ryan Hope had just suffered the biggest blow in his life and was in a state of despair. He had no such worries at all.
And Nathan did not have such great prestige among political prisoners that he could not organize everyone.
I don’t know when it started, but Nathan and Falk Pinto, a bearded criminal among the serious criminals, came together.
Then, suddenly one day, the bearded Falk Pinto led people to overthrow the original leader and established a new force.
Nathan became like a counselor beside the other party.
I don’t know why, Falk Pinto did not take these political prisoners under their command.
Instead, they were automatically excluded from the new organization.
They had to choose to unite again, and the most prestigious Ryan Hope naturally became the leader of the political prisoners.
