Chapter 3029

When Lopez woke up from his sleep, he found that it was already three o'clock in the morning outside. But he did not get up in a hurry, because there was nothing here that required him to get up early to deal with. It was more like a vacation than investigating the pirate incident.

appropriate.

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 sternly refused the request to participate in the interrogation of prisoners, so so far, the information he has is still extremely limited. If he returns home now, it will be difficult to explain to Costa.

.

Lopez could feel that the Haihan people wanted to send him away with this attitude, but he would not obey them easily. Roger and Qian Tiandun, two senior Haihan officials, stayed on the island and did not leave. Lopez thought

They must have other actions next, so of course they have to stay and see clearly.

Moreover, the man from Aceh did not leave either. Lopez did not want him to take advantage of the situation after he left and drive a wedge between Haihan and Portugal. If he stayed here, it would be difficult for the other party to play any tricks.

After Lopez woke up, he lay there for a long time before getting up, dressing and walking out of the tent where he was staying.

The location of the camp where the Portuguese were stationed was designated by Haihan, but the scenery here is indeed quite good. Next to the camp is a miles-long silver beach, which is very suitable for taking a walk after a meal or lying in the sun.

There are several large and small lakes next to the camp. The water source comes from the highland mountain springs on the island. The water quality is quite good and is very suitable for making tea.

Of course, what satisfied Lopez the most was that the Haihan people arranged the Acehnese camp on another coast several miles away, with a Haihan army camp separated in the middle, so that he would not see it at any time.

Those nasty faces.

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 and listening to the adjutant's report.

There seemed to be nothing new happening today. As usual, the nearby Haihan Army went out for training early in the morning. They formed a team to run on the beach, ran around the station three times and then withdrew their troops back to the camp.

Two Haihan warships left the anchorage in the morning, probably going out to sea to perform daily patrol missions.

In addition, two supply ships arrived at the nearby temporary dock in the morning and seemed to have delivered a lot of supplies. The Haihan people transferred some of them to the Portuguese camp - the lamb chops Lopez is eating now are the fresh goods just delivered in the morning.

"No wonder the lamb chops are not cooked enough!" Lopez muttered to himself. Maybe if he sleeps a little longer and lets the cook stew the lamb chops for a while, the taste will be right.

However, being able to eat fresh food like lamb chops on such an uninhabited island is considered special care given by Haihan, so Lopez has nothing to complain about.

But since supplies are still being sent to Phuket in a steady stream, it means that Haihan will not evacuate here for the time being. Lopez thought to himself, maybe Phuket will also become a Haihan island like Langkawi and Penang.

Another place occupied by forcibly garrisoned troops.

Lopez thought again, Phuket is the territory of the Kingdom of Siam, and Siam is not a small country like Kedah. Once the news is received, it is unlikely that the Haihan people will turn a blind eye to the actions of the Haihan people. Could it be that the Haihan people have no scruples about this?

?

After Lopez finished his meal, he was wondering whether to go fishing at the lake or hunting in the mountains today when the adjutant brought another news. Roger invited him to the headquarters of the Haihan Army. It was said that he had something to discuss.

Of course, Lopez would not refuse such an invitation. He immediately canceled other arrangements and asked his adjutant to call the translator and prepare to attend the appointment.

Compared with the somewhat messy Portuguese garrison, the temporary camp set up by the Haihan Army nearby is much more orderly. The camp is surrounded by a wooden fence, with entrances and exits at the east and west ends, and observation towers and checkpoints. The camp

Inside are all neatly arranged canvas tents with uniform standards. Drainage ditches are even dug outside the tents to protect against sudden thunderstorms.

In addition to the barracks, there are stables, canteens, reservoirs, toilets, etc., and all facilities are available.

Lopez himself is the one who leads the troops. He can certainly see that the construction level of Camp Haihan is far higher than his own. These hardware facilities not only require a large investment of financial resources, but also require 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 can have such capabilities. And Lopez's own troops probably cannot achieve the same level.

What made Lopez a little unhappy was that besides him, he was also invited by the Aceh envoy Kaza. However, the other party obviously didn't know the reason for being invited today, and he was also a little surprised after seeing Lopez.

.

Roger didn't beat around the bush and explained the reason straight to the point: "I invited you two here today because I want to meet a guest with you."

Guests? Apart from the three of them, there will be other people coming to this deserted island?

Later, they saw this visitor, and his identity was indeed beyond their expectations.

The visitor claimed to be Siamese envoy Pashan, and his purpose of coming to Phuket was also very clear, which was to find out why a large group of foreigners headed by Haihan suddenly settled here.

Pashan said sternly: "Your troops came and stationed here without our country's permission. Without a reasonable explanation, our country can only regard it as an invasion!"

Obviously, Haihan did not inform Siam in advance before taking action against Phuket, so Phasahan came to ask for an explanation.

However, Roger was clearly prepared for this, and explained without changing his expression: "As you can see, our troops are stationed here, but this is not to invade your country, but to unite Haihan, Aceh, and Portugal."

Action against armed pirates. There is a pirate lair on this island, and we are here to eliminate the pirates and have no other purpose."

Roger's words were high-sounding, but after listening to the translation, Lopez felt that something was wrong - this was obviously a unilateral action led by Haihan, so why did it become a joint action of the three countries?

He subconsciously looked at Kaza, but saw that the other person's expression was also a bit astonished. Obviously, he didn't know that Roger would say such a thing beforehand.

However, Roger seemed not to care about their feelings and continued to say to Pashan: "This group of pirates has been doing a lot of evil in the nearby waters and robbed ships from many countries. I believe that our actions will bring new dangers to this area."

Tranquility, I think this is the result your country is happy to see."
