Chapter 1521 Shameless
At the time of Franklin's suicide, Neil Benson was being interviewed by The Times and Le Figaro.

"We were appalled when we learned of Captain Franklin's crimes - Mr. Benjamin Kipling was called to justice and decided to charge Captain Franklin for his crimes, an active naval officer who was a pirate, and this behavior is ours. This is unacceptable to everyone, and we seriously suspect that behind Captain Franklin there are higher-ranking officials who are related to pirates. This kind of organized robbery of passing ships is definitely not something that a certain captain can accomplish—"Neil Benson was shocked when he came up. He still doesn't know that Franklin has committed suicide. The US military stationed in the Philippines has not announced this news.

"So, the US military stationed in the Philippines is related to pirates from top to bottom, and even the US Department of War is also suspected. Does Mr. Benjamin Kipling have any real evidence?" Harrison Clay, editor-in-chief of The Times East India It's not a big deal for Mente to watch the excitement, and a mere captain certainly can't satisfy the readers' gossip needs.

"Of course, Benjamin Kipling is the middleman between the pirate and the owner. Every time a transaction is completed, Benjamin Kipling can get 5.00% of it. From March last year to now, Franklin has made more than 10% of his profits through robbery. Ten thousand pounds, after they rob the ship, they will hide the ship somewhere in the Philippines, and then transport the goods on the ship to the United States to sell the stolen goods. This is a complete black industrial chain. If no one supports it, it is obvious that only one captain cannot Do it to this extent.” Neil Benson had to involve the US government and military in every sentence.

"So, will southern Africa launch retaliation against the United States for this?" Jim Wild, editor-in-chief of "Le Figaro", is the real watcher, because one pirate will lead to a war between the two countries?

Don't be ridiculous, not to mention countries like the United States and southern Africa, even if it is two small countries, if they want to achieve the level of retaliation at the level of launching a war, the reason will definitely not be because of this kind of thing, it must be because of various The result of the accumulation of contradictions.

Look at how the United States bullied Iran in 2020, killed the commander and then killed the nuclear expert, coupled with the ubiquitous sanctions, this did not lead to a war.

"We are initiating a lawsuit against the US military stationed in the Philippines, but this is definitely not revenge, but for fairness and justice, as well as peace in South Asia." Neil Benson was not fooled. The U.S. military is disgraced. According to the consistent attitude of the United States, Franklin may not be punished as he should.

In the late period of the World War, the U.S. military stationed in Germany also did a lot of evil. Hundreds of thousands of various vicious cases caused huge trauma to the Germans.

After the war, the Germans also filed lawsuits against the atrocities committed by the U.S. military, but so far, no U.S. military has been punished for this.

As for pirates, Franklin's case cannot be treated as an individual case. The United States only gave up its privateer license in 1907. From 1907 to now, how many merchant ships in the world have been robbed by the US military in an organized manner?

If Franklin was punished for this, the US government and the US military would be caught in endless lawsuits, and the victims over the years, even those before 1907, would demand compensation from the US government and the US military.

Therefore, Neil Benson did not expect much punishment from the International Tribunal in The Hague to the US government.

To put it bluntly, the International Court of Justice in The Hague does not have that ability.

When Neil Benson was interviewed by The Times and Le Figaro, Special Representative for US Forces in the Philippines, Jack Wiley, was in the office of Governor-General Sir Lauren Felix.

"The Rhodesian company's behavior is reckless and arrogant. The US military stationed in the Philippines will never be a pirate. We have been committed to maintaining the safety of the waterway and regional peace. At the same time, we are also insisting on combating pirates. After the incident, General Wood He and General MacArthur have conducted a thorough investigation of the US troops stationed in the Philippines. It is true that there are Filipino soldiers involved, but there are no Americans among them. Some compensation, but the Rhodesian company must stop slandering the US troops in the Philippines." Jack Wiley looked righteously outraged, and Benjamin Kipling was being held in the Lion City under the protection of the umbrella company.

"Then what happened to Captain Franklin?" Sir Lauren Felix is ​​an old god, and the Rhodesia company has witnesses in hand. It is useless for the US military stationed in the Philippines to deny it.

"There is no captain named Franklin in the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines. There are indeed people named Franklin, but none of their military ranks are captains, so Benjamin Kipling is a liar with a lot of lies. His testimony cannot be trusted at all." Jack. As soon as Willie came up, he magnified his moves.

"Nonsense, many people have seen Captain Franklin." Lauren Felix was displeased, and such an excuse full of loopholes can be imagined, and it really is very American.

It's true that blue is better than blue, but anyone who wants to save face can't do such a thing.

At least the UK can't do this kind of thing now.

"I can call all the people named Franklin and let Benjamin Kipling identify them in person." Jack Willie was full of confidence. Method.

"Then what do you mean, pirates have nothing to do with the US military stationed in the Philippines?" Sir Lauren Felix was furious, it's so fucking shameless, let alone my son in the future.

"Of course!" Jack Willie resolutely said.

"Then why do you want to compensate Rhodesia again?" Sir Lauren Felix made the same mistake as a certain judge, it wasn't you who did it, why should you feel guilty.

"As I said just now, humanitarianism—" Jack Willie finally showed a tricky smile on his face.

The next day, after seeking the consent of Neil Benson, Sir Lauren Felix actually arranged for Benjamin Kipling to identify all the US troops stationed in the Philippines named Franklin.

"There is no need for this at all. Since it was proposed by the Americans, the Americans will definitely not send Franklin here. I can guarantee that the real Franklin should be dead now—" Zhu Yang, the senior director of the umbrella company, told Benjamin When Kipling got into the car, he complained to the assistants around him.

"That can't be helped. This is a special request from the Americans. Since Your Excellency the Governor ordered it, we must do this." Zhu Yang's assistant, Xing Zang, is also Chinese. His father has a grudge.

"Why do Americans have to arrange an unnecessary meeting?" Zhu Yang was sensitive, and immediately thought of this question.

Xing Ran was stunned for a moment, then went back silently and took two more magazines, and put two more grenades on his tactical vest.

The place where Benjamin Kipling was detained was the safe house of the Umbrella Company on the outskirts of the Lion City. If you go to the Lion City, you have to pass through a section of road with uneven roads.

This is also helpless. Although the Lion City is the most important British colony in East Asia, under the management of the British, the various infrastructures of the Lion City are really mediocre.

In order to ensure the safety of Benjamin Kipling, the Umbrella Company sent three armored vehicles from East India overnight, and Benjamin Kipling boarded the second one. There were a total of 25 Umbrella Company mercenaries in the three vehicles.

"I hope you have a safe journey." Zhu Yang and Xing Yan sat on both sides of Benjamin Kipling. These three armored vehicles were not equipped with heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns or grenade launchers. The body armor was specially reinforced to provide Strong protection, unless it is directly hit by a large-caliber shell, the grenade will not cause much damage to the members of the armored vehicle.

The courtyard door of the safe house opened, and three armored vehicles came out one after another. Zhu Yang glanced at Benjamin Kipling, who had a frightened expression, and picked up a steel helmet and buckled it on Benjamin Kipling's head.

"Are we going to the battlefield?" Benjamin Kipling's voice was trembling.

"Don't worry, if there is an accident, just lie down on the floor and leave the rest to us." Zhu Yang is not very worried. After all, the Lion City is not Manila, and the chance of danger is not high.

But don't be careless. Don't judge Americans with too high a moral bottom line. If you are in London, Americans will restrain themselves a little bit.

In South Asia—

In European terms, Asia is a barren land.

Less than 10 minutes after leaving the safe house, the Lion City was already in sight.

At this time, there was a broken down car in the middle of the road. Seeing the armored car approaching, the helpless car driver was overjoyed and stood in the middle of the road with his hands up to ask for help.

The driver of the first armored vehicle had no intention of stopping at all. The mercenary on the co-driver stuck out a shotgun with a shortened barrel through the window and fired a warning shot into the sky.

bang——

The huge gunshots from the shotgun were still very deterrent, and the driver immediately rolled and crawled to get out of the way.

Bah!
The armored vehicles unscrupulously smashed the cars parked in the middle of the road and drove away. If this was a trap set by the Americans, then the Americans would have underestimated the professionalism of the umbrella company.

In terms of professionalism, the Americans are really far behind the umbrella company. In 1963, US President Kennedy was shot in broad daylight. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen in southern Africa.

The convoy drove all the way and drove directly into the official residence of Sir Lauren Felix. When Zhu Yang got off the car, Jack Willie was standing on the steps in front of Sir Lauren Felix's office.

Zhu Yang smiled at Jack Willie, and casually gave Jack Willie a middle finger.

Some things are really not something you can get away with by cheating.

ps: The temperature dropped in a large area yesterday. It was noon and the temperature was only minus [-] degrees. The dog didn’t know what he ate and was vomiting and diarrhea. He was shaking all over. It’s really unintentional to be accompanied by a dog. I will try to make up for it today——
