Volume 4: White Devil Chapter 216 What’s the problem?
Although Dennis sounded extremely unbearable and hated by everyone in Tommy's mouth, in fact, in the army, that guy was as comfortable as a duck in water as he was in high school. In high school, except for his teacher who hated him, everyone loved him. The same was true in the army. Except for his superiors who hated him, it could be said that he had friends everywhere.
For example, Glenn, a black classmate who was taught by him for four years at West Point Military Academy, had been betted more than once by his brothers in the SSD at West Point on when Glenn would be unable to bear Dennis' discrimination and exploitation and would shoot him. However, four years later, Dennis won all the money every time.
Wherever he went, Dennis took his black friend Glenn with him. While other black officers of the same period were still struggling to gain experience, Glenn now has two commendations from his superiors, which means that he can get promoted faster than many of his black compatriots who were bullied and discriminated against by white people in school like him.
In Glenn's words, black people will always suffer discrimination from white people anyway, but at least the damn Dennis remembered to take him with him after he discriminated against them, while other white people would get nothing after they discriminated against them.
Although Tony is his biological brother, Tommy has to admit that Tony is far inferior to Dennis in terms of forming cliques and building relationships within the army. Tony has a very calm personality. He is the kind of person you can always trust and who will complete any task on time.
Dennis, on the other hand, is more lively and his style of doing things is always in the state of Schrödinger's cat. Until the very end, you have no idea whether he succeeds or fails. If he succeeds, don't get excited, because he may not clean up his mess and get into a lot of trouble. If he fails, don't be surprised, because that is his normal level. But sometimes failure may turn a bad thing into a good thing because of his remedial measures.
Just like when he was in high school, if Tommy was about to have a fight with a few classmates who disliked him and told Tony, Tony would definitely protect Tommy behind him and walk in front, taking the responsibility of head-on confrontation and taking the opponent's punches for Tommy.
But if it were Dennis's partner, then there is a high probability that the idiot Dennis would let Tommy and Pam go to meet the other party, and he would tell the two that he would lie in ambush and observe the situation. Then Tommy and Pam were chased by a group of people from the other side. They thought Dennis was looking for an opportunity, but in fact, the bastard took advantage of the fight between the two sides, changed his clothes and went to hook up with the other party's girlfriend who just happened to have time. The other party beat Tommy and Pam away with scars all over his body, and when he went back to see his girlfriend, he found Dennis climbing up from his girlfriend with his pants lifted up.
To Tommy and Pam, Dennis' behavior was obviously terrible, but what happened next was that the angry opponent couldn't help but beat Dennis up. In the end, Tommy and his friends won a great victory, because Tommy, Pam, and Dennis each received a punishment for fighting, but the idiot on the other side was punished twice in a short period of time, and was severely suspended from school and disappeared from school.
Therefore, there is no way to determine whether this guy did something right or wrong.
The two brothers Tony and Tommy chatted about Dennis's interesting stories while looking for prey. They wandered around the hunting ground until noon. Tommy had no harvest except a turkey. After Tony hunted three deer and several turkeys, he stopped and returned to the leisure area to taste the delicious food made from his prey.
Sitting in the rickety SUV on the way back to the recreation area, Tony asked Tommy, "Now I am here to maintain the relationship with those comrades, but how should I maintain it after we separate? I can't call them one by one every time I have a holiday and ask them to come to New York for vacation, right?"
"Wilson Bullock, former Army Lieutenant Colonel, have you heard of this name?" Tommy said with a yawn.
Tony shook his head: "No."
"He participated in the preparation of the new company you proposed. If I can get his daughter to do something and make our relationship more solid and trustworthy, I plan to ask him to prepare and initiate a club. Maybe it's called the F-117 Club? After all, the F-117 represents the only stealth fighter in the world. You, Dennis, and even Pam, any comrades you think are good will be invited to join the club. This will ensure that even if you go to different units, you can still maintain your friendship through such a club. If you encounter any problems, the club can also provide help and try to downplay personal friendship." Tommy lazily put his feet on the open car window:
"Wilson Bullock, whether in terms of military rank during service or social status and age after retirement, is the most suitable candidate. Mr. Thomas Hayward is too old and has nothing to talk about with young people like you. Wilson is different. He is less than fifty years old and is ambitious."
Tony glanced at Tommy and said, "So, you're talking about fooling around with other women so seriously?"
"Would you like to fool around for me? If you are willing, I can immediately act like an ascetic monk who doesn't like women." Tommy turned his head and looked at his brother and asked.
"Let's change the subject." Tony took off his Benny hat, put it on his face, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
…
"You've been under a lot of pressure lately." Tommy handed the gun to the coach, glanced at the dozen or so animal carcasses of various sizes, and asked Susan who was groping between the large and small pockets of her hunting suit.
Susan said without looking up, "Not bad."
The weakling Sophia had obviously taken the initiative to count Susan's achievements as her own . Although she only killed a rabbit with the help of her coach, Zuo Miao, and then vomited on the poor rabbit's corpse for a long time while leaning against a tree trunk, it did not affect her from happily running to the other people who had returned to compare with them, asking them how many prey they had killed, and then proudly saying that she and Susan had harvested a total of 17 animals.
Tommy took out his own cigarette, walked over to stop Susan's groping, handed her the cigarette box, and then lit it for her: "Does being with those girls make you exhausted?"
Susan exhaled a puff of smoke comfortably, kicked the corpse of a white-tailed deer with her boots, and looked at Tommy: "When I was in school, I always thought that people who liked war and killing were perverts and warmongers. Until today, I hunted an animal with a gun for the first time. It felt great and relieved a lot of stress. I even felt a wisp of my soul shot at the prey with the bullet, and felt the moment the prey was hit."
Tommy nodded thoughtfully and walked with her towards the recreation area.
"I told you that you need the same way to relieve stress as Holly. Let Mark arrange it for you. He can definitely help you find an Aladdin genie who will obey you in bed and disappear as soon as the sun rises. You can't deal with work during the day and then squeeze out time to fly to the hunting ground for a massacre at night, unless you treat Los Angeles as your hunting ground and shoot along the streets with a gun." Tommy found a comfortable seat, took a sip of lemonade, and said to Susan who was sitting opposite him.
Susan smiled when she heard what Tommy said: "Do I look like someone who could easily become a perverted gunman?"
"I think it's necessary to bring Jason and his girlfriend to talk to you after returning to California." Tommy handed her a glass of water and said calmly while looking into Susan's eyes.
Susan shrugged and said disapprovingly, "I don't think there's any need to waste time on this kind of thing."
"Miss, haven't you checked the wounds of your prey? A fawn, and you want to shoot it with five bullets?" Tommy said, looking at the corpses.
"Four. The one on the head was shot by the coach," Susan corrected.
"When did you and Vanessa book a flight back to California?" Tommy asked.
"tomorrow."
"After I return to California, I will help you arrange a meeting between Jason and his girlfriend. Believe me, I was almost brainwashed by that girl once. Before I met her, I always thought that it was unlikely that there would be anyone in the world with a better mentality than me." Tommy lit a cigarette and looked at Susan:
"I promise that you will be as shocked as I was. And since she is a woman, you can talk to her about the problems in your heart that you are not comfortable discussing with your male friends."
"You rarely compliment a woman."
"Yes, I suspect Jason actually covets me, but he knows it's unlikely that I'll be gay and be with him, so, you can imagine, the guy went to great lengths to find a female version of Tommy Hawke as a girlfriend." Tommy said in a firm tone:
"He must have fucking thought so."
"Are you sure the female version of you can help me? Okay." Susan flicked the ash off her cigarette. "I imagined Jason and you in bed, and I felt that the pressure didn't seem to matter. The psychological trauma problem might be more urgent and need treatment."
…
A week's vacation passed in a flash, and Tony returned to the ship with his comrades. However, the saddest person facing their departure was not Ashley, not Father Colin, not Mr. Hull, but Martin.
Martin didn't know what others thought, but this week was the happiest holiday he had ever had since he was born.
He personally escorted those officers who had become familiar with him onto the ship. When he returned to the manor, Tommy's car had already parked outside the door. Dorothy and the servants were loading their packed bags into the three SUVs nearby. Martin opened the door of the Cadillac where Paige was, sat in the passenger seat, lowered his head, took off the gold ornaments on his neck in a depressed mood, and threw them into the storage box. He sighed to Paige, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands and listening to the classical music on the car record player, "This vacation seems like a dream to me."
But Page completely ignored him, as if immersed in the music, and Martin simply reached out and turned off the record player.
Then Mr. Page came back to himself from the music.
“Crackle, crackle~”
“Ah~”
Calm returned to the car.
Martin glared at Martin with bared teeth: "You have seen my men, Paige, right? I want to solemnly remind you that any one of them can press your head down with one hand, so that you can easily kiss your own butt with your mouth! I am no longer..."
“Crackle, crackle~”
“Ah~”
"OK~ I made 70,000 yuan. If you don't shock me, I will generously give you 5...300 yuan."
"Next time you flirt with Mr. Page, can you do it in an environment where I'm not around?" The front panel was lowered, revealing Tommy's face.
"Shit~" Martin cursed, and quickly forced a smile and said to Tommy, "I thought you were not in a hurry to get in the car, boss."
Tommy looked at Martin: "Where's my credit card?"
Martin took out the credit card, glanced at it reluctantly, and then handed it back to Tommy: "It's so easy for rich people to make money, boss. I took your card and did nothing, but I made 70,000 dollars from Spike Lee."
“How does it feel to be a big shot?”
"Excellent."
"I think you're going to be a real big shot one day." Tommy smiled and put away his credit card and said to Martin.
Martin's eyes lit up. "You mean, Mr. Hawke has acknowledged me as his godson, and is it possible that he will hand over the BT TV network to me as the successor?"
"That's about right. Actually, what my father said was that the mill of this manor would be handed over to you to manage, and your descendants could inherit the title of miller of the Hawke family." Tommy nodded.
"What about your bodyguards and drivers who look rather scary? Sophia said they are a black extremist organization?"
Hearing that Tommy had misunderstood his New York men, Martin immediately began to explain:
"No, no, no, boss. They are all good people. They are not an extremist organization. That is a slander against them by white people. They just protect the black people in the community from being harmed by white people. They don't sell drugs, murder, or even violate traffic rules when driving."
"The longer you remain silent, the stronger the explosion will be." Tommy said, "I'll ask Sophia to talk to you about this when she's not busy."
Martin asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"
"I'll ask you to donate to them so that they can remain silent." After saying that, the baffle was closed by Tommy.
Paige held the stun gun in his hand: "Let's continue with the previous question."
"What topic?" Martin repeated his question.
"You said that if I stop electrocuting you, you will give me 300 out of the 70,000." Paige turned his head to look at Martin. His lips opened and closed on his paralyzed face.
"I'm more curious, if I keep electrocuting you, how much are you going to give me?"
