Chapter 51: Port confrontation, threatening arms dealers?

Silent all night.

The next morning, Yang Xia got up early.

After washing and eating breakfast, he and He Chao came to the military factory port.

The weapons Carlos needs, along with the BMT-31 tank infantry support prototype, have all been shipped and are ready to go at any time.

After going to the cargo hold to check and confirm that everything was correct, Yang Xia immediately ordered the ship to set sail.

woohoo-

The freighter whistled, and the forward propeller under the water was driven by the engine and rotated.

The huge hull began to move forward slowly. Yang Xia, who was standing on the deck, waved to all the workers on the shore who came to see him off.

"BOSS, come back soon!"

"Bon voyage, BOSS!"

The workers waved their hands in unison, their eyes full of reluctance.

woohoo-

The ship rides the wind and waves and heads forward toward Mexico.

After a day and night of non-stop sailing.

The cargo ship Yang Xia was on approached the Mexican trade port of Lodosa at about [-]:[-] the next morning.

The port is very close to where the Rostas armed group was besieged and can be reached in a few hours' drive.

"Boss, here we are."

"it is good."

Yang Xia simply washed up and took the butler He Chao to the deck.

The sea breeze blows, the air is salty and humid, and there are seagulls circling overhead.

The trading port of Lodosa, which was originally bustling with cargo ships arriving, was now deserted, with Yang Xia and his group being the only cargo ship in the entire port waters.

Then use the binoculars to look at the shore. A row of soldiers armed with automatic rifles and wearing jungle camouflage uniforms are waiting. They are led by a tall soldier with a beard and a navy blue beret. Judging from his shoulders, he has a rank of lieutenant colonel. .

Not long after, the port sent a call to Yang Xia and his ship via radio, signaling them to dock for inspection.

It took twenty minutes for the freighter to lower the cable and stop the ship.

After the landing ladder was put down, Yang Xia took He Chao off the freighter and came to the lieutenant colonel.

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel."

Yang Xia was neither humble nor overbearing, and took the initiative to extend his hand.

The lieutenant colonel glanced at his hand, then at Yang Xia's face, and then slowly stretched out his hand.

The two shook hands vigorously.

"An hour ago, we sent a signal to your country's port guard, reporting the purpose of our docking and the ship number."

After listening to Yang Xia's words, the lieutenant colonel took the tablet from the adjutant on the side and carefully checked the backend system to confirm that Yang Xia's words were correct.

"Are you here to deliver goods?" The lieutenant colonel raised his head and stared directly into Yang Xia's eyes.

"Yes, there are military supplies needed by the government forces on board." Yang Xia responded calmly, "What do you call me Lieutenant Colonel?"

The Blue Beret Lieutenant Colonel looked at Yang Xia with squinted eyes. After a few seconds, his lips hidden under his beard opened: "Balagaon."

"Balagaon." Yang Xia repeated softly, "It means brave, a good name."

"Do you understand our language?"

Lieutenant Colonel Balagaen's eyes lit up and he looked at Yang Xia again with an unexpected expression.

"I know a little bit." Yang Xia smiled.

"Since you understand our language, you also understand our rules. Delivery requires a delivery permit issued by Mexican Customs. Bring it to me."

With that said, Balagaen stretched out his hand, but Yang Xia made a gesture asking him to get on the boat.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please get on board. The permit is in the cabin and it's hard to get it."

"It's just a permit, will it be difficult to get it?" Balagaen stared.

"That's true. I didn't mean to call you Lieutenant Colonel. Just go and take a look and you will know."

Seeing Yang Xia's insistence, Balagaen thought to himself that he would be with the guards anyway, and if he dared to play tricks, he would be shot on the spot.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, Balagaon walked in front, and the armed guards immediately followed.

He Chao, who was walking at the back, secretly patted Yang Xia on the shoulder and trembled nervously:

"Boss, why did you let them board the ship? Where do we have the license?"

Yang Xia made a gesture to tell him to calm down: "Don't panic, calm down and talk less."

After boarding the freighter from the ladder, Yang Xia led Lieutenant Colonel Balagaen and his men into the cabin.

“Where is the delivery permit?”

Looking around the cabin, Baragaon stretched out his hand for the permit.

"it's here."

Yang Xia took out five gold bars from his pocket and placed them in Baragaen's outstretched hand. The latter was stunned.

Later, Yang Xia took out a bundle of Mexican currency from the tool box next to him and stuffed a bundle into the hands of each gun-wielding soldier. The soldiers held the money with the same shock as Baragaon on their faces.

"There is surveillance on shore, Lieutenant Colonel."

Yang Xia smiled and said to Baragaen: "Tell me, is this 'permit' difficult to obtain?"

There was a few seconds of silence.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Balagaon put the gold bar into his pants pocket, his face showed the unique enthusiasm of Latinos, and he took the initiative to reach out his hand and hold it with Yang Xia.

"That's right, that's right. It's really hard to get a permit. You're so thoughtful!"

"Hahahahaha!"

After the two shook hands happily, Balagaon was not satisfied and went up to give Yang Xia a bear hug. This caught Yang Xia off guard. The Latino man was indeed enthusiastic.

After the hug, Balagaen turned to the guards behind him and said, "There is nothing wrong with this ship. It is a legal delivery. Let it go."

"Yes!"

"Yes, we have checked it, no problem!"

Seeing the perfect cooperation between Balagaen and the team members, Yang Xia heard a Yanguo song in his heart: I should cooperate with your performance, but I turned a blind eye~
  Afterwards, Yang Xia sent them off the boat after adding Balagaen's contact information.

While Balagaen and others were not paying attention, He Chao quietly said to Yang Xia in a tone full of admiration:
  "Boss, you are so awesome. How do you know you can successfully bribe them?"

"This is Mexico, anything can happen."

Yang Xia lowered his voice and said: "In recent years, wars have continued in Mexico, and the average annual disposable income of the people has dropped to more than 6300 pesos, and about [-] RMB. With this income, do you think it is possible to avoid bribery?"

"Actually, before I came here, I wasn't sure whether the bribery would be successful, but I was anxious about waiting for death, so I might as well give it a try."

"That's right, boss, you made a wise decision!" He Chao secretly gave Yang Xia a thumbs up.     After getting off the boat.

Balagaen wanted to hug Yang Xia again, but the latter decisively refused, so the two shook hands instead.

"Mr. Yang Xia, feel free to transport it. I will watch the freighter for you at the dock."

"Thank you then."

Just when the two said goodbye, Yang Xia was about to return to the ship to direct the unloading.

"stop!"

A scolding sounded, and Yang Xia and Balagaen turned back together.

I saw a soldier wearing a Marine Corps helmet and a mustache walking over.

"Colonel Hernandez!"

Seeing the mustached soldier approaching, Balagaon immediately stepped forward to salute, but was ignored by the colonel named Hernandez.

He walked up to Yang Xia, looked her up and down, and then turned to ask Balagaen: "Has this freighter been inspected clearly? How come it was released so quickly?"

"Checked, Colonel!"

"What inspection is clear? There are only a few of you, how can you complete the inspection of this huge cargo ship so quickly?"

Hernandez got a little angry, pointed at the freighter, and shouted to Barragán and the soldiers: "Go up here and check it again. I want to watch you check it in person!"

"This"

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and could only look at Baragaon.

After hearing this, He Chao immediately became nervous and quickly stood in front of Yang Xia to protect Yang Xia.

"Colonel, this is what happened."

Facing his superiors, Barragaun called Colonel Hernandez aside, spoke in a low voice, and then rubbed his thumb and index finger back and forth, making a gesture of counting money.

Seeing this, Hernandez immediately cursed him:
  "asshole!"

"Are you still a soldier? I'm ashamed of you!"

Balagaon was shocked and secretly complained in his heart. This Hernandez was notoriously difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would be on duty today.

When Yang Xia saw this, he still remained calm, stepped forward, and lowered his voice:
  "Colonel, if you give us a pass"

After saying that, Yang Xia also made a gesture of counting money, but Hernandez didn't appreciate it and angrily said:
  "Fuck off!"

"Cunning yellow-skinned monkey, stay away from me. Do you think I am like them and want your dirty money?"

"There are too many people from Yan Kingdom, they are everywhere, but there are not many in the prison. Today I will let you bastards from Yan Kingdom fill the customs prison!"

After saying that, Hernandez waved to the gun-wielding soldiers behind him to come forward to arrest Yang Xia.

"What are you doing!"

He Chao really wanted to do something, so he rushed forward, stood in front of Yang Xia, and glared at Hernandez.

At this moment of tension and suffocation, Yang Xia patted He Chao and motioned for him to step aside.

"fine."

After speaking, Yang Xia took a step forward, closed the distance with Hernandez, and looked into his eyes. The other person stared back at him angrily.

"Colonel Hernandez."

Yang Xia controlled his emotions and tried to keep his expression calm: "Is your 5-year-old Maya okay in kindergarten?"

"what?"

Hernandez was startled when he heard his daughter's name.

"I guess she doesn't like kindergarten. It can be seen from the photo of her crying under the cherry tree in the kindergarten."

"you!"

Hernandez subconsciously took a step back, shocked in his heart how Yang Xia, a foreigner who had never interacted with him, knew this!
  Yang Xia was unmoved and continued: "Oh, and your wife, 35-year-old Sarah, just won the community cooking competition. Maybe I should find a few people to congratulate her and give her some gifts. .”

"I'm warning you, don't touch them!!"

Hernandez's veins popped out, and he rushed forward, grabbed Yang Xia's collar, and blew his hot and heavy breathing on Yang Xia's face.

"Whether I can touch them or not depends on whether you can touch me, Colonel." Yang Xia remained neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm expression.

"You still dare to threaten me?!"

Hernandez didn't accept this trick at all: "It doesn't matter if you know the situation in my family, I will arrest you and go to jail now. I'll see what you can do!"

"I'm afraid you can't touch me now."

With that said, Yang Xia took out his cell phone from his pocket, pressed it, and held it up in front of Hernandez.

"This is?!"

Hernandez looked at the phone and was stunned.

The phone showed a photo.

In the photo, Hernandez's wife Sarah was hanging clothes in the yard, and not far away from her, there was a man with a fierce look, holding a pistol and looking at Sarah with a sinister smile.

The man's expression was chilling.

Hernandez's eyes widened and he grabbed Yang Xia's arm by the collar, obviously relieved.

"Catch me, your wife will." Yang Xia's expression remained calm.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
  Swah——

Hernandez let go of Yang Xia's collar, opened his arms, and pressed down with his palms. The expression on his face became calmer, no longer as arrogant as before.

"Sorry, sir, this is all a misunderstanding. You can unload the goods."

"I'm really sorry. It was my fault just now. I was too reckless. I apologize to you!"

"It's okay, Colonel Hernandez."

After politely thanking Hernandez, Yang Xia waved for He Chao to follow.

The two people stepped up the ladder.

creak-

The cabin door opened, and Yang Xia and He Chao stepped in.

bang——

The moment the cabin door closed, Yang Xia immediately reached out and grabbed He Chao. As his body slowly fell down, he shouted:
  "Quick, He Chao, give me a hand, quick!"

"Boss!!"

He Chao screamed, quickly holding Yang Xia with both hands to prevent him from falling, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you, boss?"

"fine."

Yang Xia waved his hands tremblingly, but his heart was actually shaking:

"My legs are so scared."
