Volume 1 Tigers in Southeast Asia Chapter 11: Action in the Dark
The sky slowly darkened. Lin Fei said in a pretentious tone, "It's already dark. I hate seeing the moonlight reflected on the sea, so I never take a boat at night. I plan to stay here tonight. Is that okay?"
Denison smiled and said, "Yes, yes, of course. We have prepared a dinner. Please take a seat, Mr. Lin."
Lin Fei laughed out loud and said, "I've heard that Spanish friends are very passionate. I've seen this kind of passion at the Ventas Bullring in Madrid. I didn't expect to see it again today. I'm very happy."
Denison agreed with a smile and brought Lin Fei and the others to the restaurant. Lin Fei pointed at Liu Daming and said in Chinese: "Stay here and don't go in."
Liu Daming and others then stood at the door, and Denison asked hurriedly: "Why don't you let your servants in as well?"
Lin Fei raised his head and said proudly: "Their dirty hands are not worthy to touch the holy tableware of the master. You can't even let them see us eating, otherwise you are tempting them with something they can never reach in their lifetime, just like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden."
When Denison heard Lin Fei's words, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Listen to what he said, there are many words I don't understand, this is a noble, a real noble! Compared with him, our boss Fernande is simply a nouveau riche who picked up gold."
Dennison then took Lin Fei to the table. As soon as they entered the room, a strong aroma hit them in the face. The long table was filled with cheese, ham, coffee, baked potatoes and fried eggs, all in Spanish style. There were also dozens of large wine barrels more than one meter tall placed beside the table.
Denison's subordinates had already filled the dining table. When they saw Lin Fei coming in, they all stood up. They waited until Lin Fei, Chiyo Mika and Yu Xier sat in the main seats before sitting down. Lin Fei said to Denison: "I have met many Europeans, British, French, Italians, etc. Among so many people, you Spanish are the most enthusiastic and generous! Don't be polite, let's eat."
At Denison's command, everyone started to eat. These people had just suppressed the native rebellion and welcomed Lin Fei as their "financial sponsor", so they were very happy. In addition, they could not eat such a sumptuous meal every time, so everyone ate to their heart's content.
Lin Fei knew that the Spanish were addicted to alcohol and that men, women, young and old all loved to drink heavily, so he picked up a glass, filled it with rum, learned the Spanish way of "cheers" from Dennison, raised glass and shouted "cheers", and everyone cheered in unison. However, they did not use cups to drink, but small barrels. When drinking, they just lifted the barrels and poured the wine inside into their throats.
The Spaniards were drinking heavily, while Lin Fei only took a small sip each time. After half an hour, the Spaniards were all drunk. Lin Fei asked Yu Xier to look after Chiyomika, and he found an excuse to leave the house and called Liu Daming over. When Liu Daming saw Lin Fei, he said, "Old Lin, you are not a good brother. You are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks inside, while your brothers are starving outside!"
Lin Fei smiled bitterly and said, "The Spaniards inside have grown up in wine barrels. If you drink with them, you will definitely get drunk! You still have a big mission to do, how can you get drunk? When we were visiting just now, did you remember the location of the ammunition depot?"
Liu Daming nodded and said, "I remember it very clearly. I can't forget it."
Lin Fei said, "That's good. We have twenty brothers. You take ten of them with you to the ammunition depot. I just asked, there are ten guards at the ammunition depot tonight. They are not prepared. You need to be quick and nimble. You can go in and carry a barrel of wine to the ammunition depot so that you can get close to the guards."
Liu Daming nodded. Lin Fei called Sun Yong over again and said, "The Spaniards in the restaurant left their guns in the dormitory. There are only two guards at the door of the dormitory. You will take three people to kill the two guards and then collect their guns."
Sun Yong also nodded. Lin Fei then said to the two brothers Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu, "You two take the rest of the brothers and stay here. I'll get them drunk for a while and then we'll start. When you go in, don't say a word and kill anyone you see. Don't leave any alive. Do you understand?"
The two brothers nodded in agreement. Lin Fei waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's do it."
Everyone left, and Lin Fei also returned to the restaurant. As soon as he glanced at his seat, he broke out in a cold sweat! He saw that Chiyoko's seat was empty. He looked around, but there was no sign of her. Chiyoko was missing!
Lin Fei's heart suddenly rose to his throat. These Spaniards were all hooligans who dared to pinch the breasts and slap the buttocks of beautiful women. What would happen if Chiyomika, a beautiful girl, suddenly disappeared already very sorry for kidnapping her. If he let her be raped by bad guys...
Lin Fei didn't dare to think about it anymore, and walked a few steps to Yu Xier. At this time, Yu Xier was holding a cross and talking to a Spaniard . Lin Fei patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Where is Chiyo Mika?"
Yu Xier turned around and found that Chiyomika was gone. He hurriedly asked, "She was here just now?"
Lin Fei saw a door behind his seat. He reached out and pushed it open, and found that this was the kitchen. He turned a shelf and saw Chiyomika standing in the open space. Lin Fei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but what he saw next made his blood boil, and his whole body was about to be ignited by anger!
Chiyoko was covering her mouth, sobbing from time to time, and Dennison was hugging her and flirting with her. Lin Fei felt a surge of anger, rushed forward and kicked Dennison away, hugged Chiyoko and comforted her: "It's okay!" But at this time, he suddenly felt Chiyoko in his arms struggling out, and she didn't look like she was rescued at all. Lin Fei thought instantly: "Her reaction is wrong! Does she want to be flirted with by this Spaniard?"
At this moment, Denison suddenly drew out the sword from his waist, pointed it at Lin Fei, and said loudly in English: "Let her go, she is not your wife at all, you are holding her hostage! You are not a wealthy businessman!"
Lin Fei understood everything instantly. It turned out that Chiyomika could speak English and said that she was being held hostage! At this time, Denison screamed and rushed over, swinging his knife to chop. Lin Fei pushed Chiyomika aside, grabbed a can behind him and threw it at Denison. Denison drank too much and couldn't dodge in time. He was hit on the head by the can and fell to the ground. Lin Fei rushed forward to take the sword in his hand, flattened the blade, and stabbed it at his left chest. The flat blade went straight into the handle from the gap between the ribs. Denison screamed and stopped moving.
Lin Fei drew his knife and shouted loudly outside the house: "Dalong and Dahu, attack!" Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu heard the voice, led the remaining brothers, and rushed in with machetes. The Spaniards in the house were all drunk and dizzy, and they even staggered when they walked. How could they be a match for Lin Fei's men? They were chopped to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Lin Fei returned to the kitchen and saw Chiyoko crying in the corner . He rushed forward and lifted her up. Chiyoko kept begging: "Don't hit me... Wuwu, please, don't dig my eyes..."
Lin Fei said viciously: "I will deal with you when I come back!" Then he took her out of the kitchen and handed her over to Yu Xier, but he did not tell her that she had betrayed him. He just said: "Old Yu, she was almost killed by the Spaniards. You must stay with her all the time."
Yu Xier agreed, and Lin Fei said to Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu: "Let's go and see how Sun Yong and the others are doing!"
Lin Fei came out with a knife in hand and went to the Spanish dormitory. He saw that Sun Yong had killed the guards and was moving the guns out. Lin Fei picked up a gun, opened the chamber, and saw that there was no bullet inside. He handed the gun to Niu Dalong beside him and asked, "Dalong, do you know how to use it?"
Niu Dalong shook his head timidly. Lin Fei said, "What can't you use? This gun is similar to the Mauser M1871 you use."
Niu Dalong was stunned and asked, "Lin Shangguan, what is the Mauser 71 you are talking about?"
Seeing that he had never heard of the Mauser M1871, Lin Fei asked, "What gun did you use when you went to Korea?"
Niu Dalong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Lin Fei immediately yelled: "You don't know? You don't even know what kind of gun you are using, how can you fight?"
Niu Dalong said innocently: "You can't blame me for this. We became soldiers, were issued uniforms, and got guns. Then no one cared about us. No one taught us how to use guns."
Lin Fei thought helplessly: "This is the Qing Dynasty. It is absolutely right not to follow them and declare myself king." Lin Fei said: "Leave the guns here. I will teach you tomorrow. Let's go to the ammunition depot first to see how Liu Daming is doing."
At this moment, a sailor came running over breathlessly and said, "Report to the gunner, First Mate Liu has already shot down the ammunition depot, and we have killed all ten Spaniards."
Lin Fei said loudly: "Great, great! Since Lao Liu has taken down the ammunition depot, we don't need to go and see it. We have almost killed all the Spaniards on the island. Let's go and release the native slaves first."
Lin Fei led everyone to the warehouse where the native slaves were held. The warehouse was locked from the outside and could not be opened from the inside, so the Spaniards did not leave anyone to guard it. Lin Fei had people break the lock on the warehouse door and push open the door. The native slaves inside were awakened by the sound of the door being broken. They thought the Spaniards were going to kill them again, and they were so scared that they curled up in the corner, silent as a cicada.
