Chapter 3029
When Lopez woke up from his sleep, he found that the sun was already rising outside.But he didn't rush to get up, because there was nothing here that he needed to get up early to deal with. Rather than investigating the pirate incident, it was more appropriate to say that he was on vacation.
This is already his fourth day in Phuket, but the investigation of the pirate gang has not made much progress and has come to a standstill.
Haihan was unwilling to provide him with more relevant clues, and he also strictly refused to participate in the interrogation of the prisoners, so so far, the information he has is still extremely limited.If you go back home now, it may be difficult to explain to Costa.
Lopez could feel that the Haihan people wanted to send him away with such an attitude, but he would not obey the other side easily.Roger and Qian Tiandun, the two high-ranking Haihan officials, stayed on the island. Lopez thought they must have other actions in the future, so of course they had to stay and see.
And the man from Aceh didn't leave either. Lopez didn't want him to sneak in after he left and drive a wedge between Haihan and Portugal.If you guard here by yourself, it will be difficult for the other party to play tricks.
After waking up, Lopez lay down for a long time before he got up, dressed, and walked out of the tent where he was staying.
The location of the Portuguese camp was designated by Haihan, but the scenery here is indeed quite good. Next to the camp is a silver sandy beach that is several miles long, which is very suitable for taking a walk after dinner or lying in the sun.
There are several lakes, large and small, next to the camp. The water source comes from the highland mountain spring on the island. The water quality is quite good, which is very suitable for making tea.
Of course, what satisfied Lopez the most was that the Haihan people arranged the camp of the Aceh people on another coast several miles away, separated by a Haihan army camp, so that he would not see them at any time. Those nasty faces are gone.
The cook quickly served the prepared food, a plate of seafood risotto, a stewed lamb chop, and a glass of fresh coconut milk.
Lopez was eating while listening to the adjutant's report.
It seems that nothing new happened today. The nearby Haihan army, as usual, went out for training early in the morning, assembled a team to run on the beach, ran three laps around the garrison, and then retreated back to the camp.
Two Haihan warships left the anchorage in the morning, and they should go out to sea to perform daily patrol missions.
In addition, two supply ships arrived at a nearby temporary pier in the morning, and it seemed that a lot of supplies had been delivered.The Haihan people transferred some of them to the Portuguese camp - the lamb chops that Lopez is eating now are the fresh products that were delivered just this morning.
"No wonder the heat of this lamb chop is not enough!" Lopez muttered in his heart.Maybe if I sleep a little longer and let the cook cook the lamb chops for a while, it will be right.
However, on such a deserted island, being able to eat fresh food like lamb chops is considered a special care given by Haihan, and Lopez has nothing to complain about.
But since there are still supplies being sent to Phuket Island in a steady stream, it means that Haihan will not evacuate here for the time being.Lopez thought to himself, maybe Phuket Island will become another place occupied by Haihan's forcible garrison just like Langkawi Island and Penang Island.
Lopez thought again, Phuket Island is the territory of Siam, and Siam is not a small country like Kedah. Once they get the news, it is unlikely that they will turn a blind eye to the actions of the Haihan people. Is it true that the Haihan people have nothing to fear? ?
After eating, Lopez was thinking about whether to go fishing by the lake or go hunting in the mountains today. The adjutant brought another message. Roger invited him to the headquarters of the Haihan Army Station. It is said that there is something to discuss.
Of course, Lopez would not refuse such an invitation. He immediately canceled other arrangements and asked the adjutant to call for an interpreter to prepare for the appointment.
Compared with the somewhat messy Portuguese garrison, the temporary camp set up by the Haihan army is much more orderly.The camp is surrounded by a wooden fence, with entrances and exits at the east and west ends, watchtowers and checkpoints.The camp is full of neatly arranged, uniform canvas tents, and drainage ditches have even been dug outside the tents to prevent sudden thunderstorms.
In addition to the barracks, there are also stables, canteens, cisterns, latrines, etc. All kinds of facilities are readily available.
Lopez himself is the leader of the troops. Of course, he can see that the construction level of the Haihan camp is far higher than his own. These hardware facilities not only need to invest a lot of money, but also have a well-trained engineering team and a complete infrastructure plan. .
Only troops that have been performing field missions in unfamiliar environments for a long time will have such capabilities.And Lopez's own troops probably haven't been able to achieve the same level.
What makes Lopez feel a little uncomfortable is that besides him, there is also the Aceh special envoy Kaza who was invited.However, the other party obviously didn't know the reason for being invited today, and was also a little surprised after seeing Lopez.
Roger did not go around the bush, and explained the reason straight to the point: "Today, I invite you to come here because I want to meet a guest with you."
guest?On this uninhabited island, besides the three of them, there are other people coming?
Later, they saw this visitor, and his identity was indeed beyond their expectation.
The visitor claimed to be the special envoy of Siam, Pashan, and his purpose of coming to Phuket was very clear, that is, to find out why a large group of foreigners headed by Hai Han suddenly settled here.
Pashan sternly said: "Your army came here to station without the permission of our country. If there is no reasonable explanation, our country can only regard it as an act of invasion!"
Obviously, before Haihan took action against Phuket Island, he did not inform Siam in advance, so Pashan came to ask for an explanation.
However, Roger was obviously prepared for this, and he explained without changing his face: "As you can see, our troops are stationed here, but this is not for the purpose of invading your country. Operations against armed pirates. There are pirates' lairs on this island, and we are here to eliminate pirates and nothing else."
Roger's words were high-sounding, but after listening to the translation, Lopez felt that something was wrong—this was obviously a unilaterally led action by Hai Han, so why did it become a joint action by the three countries?
He subconsciously looked at Kaza, but saw that the other party's expression was also a little surprised. Obviously, he didn't know that Roger would have such an argument beforehand.
But Roger didn't seem to care about their feelings, and continued to say to Pashan: "These pirates are doing a lot of evil in the nearby waters, and they have plundered ships from many countries. I believe our actions will bring this area back to life." An Ning, I think this is the result your country is happy to see."
