After signing the contract, Allen Zhang paid General Electric Boat Company a 30% deposit for the destroyer and opted for their team to deliver this massive vessel to the port of Jehovah Island, paying extra for shipping costs.
Mainly because the General Sect Leader currently doesn’t have enough people to use. Even if he wanted to operate the destroyer, it would be very difficult, or even impossible, to navigate at sea, but that was not a big problem. As long as he had money, he could recruit any kind of talent.
He also informed Qibatu that upon returning, he could recruit more people, especially those with strong hands-on skills who could join the transformation plan. Beggar Gang Disciples could be considered first, followed by externally contracted talents.
Retired navy personnel with a history of service in the navy could also be considered first, tasked with operating the Coastal Combat Ship. If no such personnel were available, Beggar Gang Disciples could also be trained later on.
Qibatu readily agreed.
Allen Zhang shook hands to bid farewell to Darcy, the beautiful head of General Electric Boat Company, and walked out of the shipyard. Sieg drove back to Los Angeles, while he chose to take people directly on board the Coastal Combat Ship, sailing it toward Jehovah Island to formally take over his ’Paradise’.
It took half an hour to calibrate and familiarize himself with the operating system of the Coastal Combat Ship. With the cooperation of the crew, the battle ship started slowly.
With the humming sound of the engine, Allen Zhang stood on the Observation Tower, holding onto the rail, and pulled out a telescope to gaze at the blue sea. As the battle ship began to change direction, it slowly moved away from the coastal shipyard.
Using the satellite navigation system, he located Jehovah Island, which was several hundred kilometers off the coast of California. Appearing as a tiny, unenlargeable black dot on the world map, it was a private territory with confidential status. Even at the speed of the Coastal Combat Ship, several hours were needed to reach it.
Allen Zhang also sent a message to Boketu, asking him to take a Black Hawk Helicopter to Jehovah Island in advance with people to negotiate with the mercenaries stationed there, to begin the takeover, and to bring some professional equipment just in case of any unforeseen situations or conflicts.
Boketu also agreed and started preparing for the flight operation.
Two hours later, Allen Zhang received a notification of a received remittance. Glancing at it, he saw that 160 million US dollars had been credited to the Hanberger Foundation account. Undoubtedly, Dave had cashed the Swiss checks and the foundation checks at the bank.
He looked at the foundation’s account, a nine-digit number starting with 6, followed by a string of numbers and a decimal point, more than 600 million US dollars in funds, impossible to spend it all.
After inspecting the Coastal Combat Ship, from the initial surge of excitement, boredom gradually crept in; fortunately, there was internet available for entertainment.
More importantly, Gwen, as a female assistant, also stuck closely to the General Sect Leader, serving tea and water, performing basic service tasks.
Meanwhile, Jennifer also sent a message to the General Sect Leader, informing him that two Black Hawk Helicopters had been delivered to Tijuana and the remaining payment of 9.98 million US dollars had been paid by the other party. The expenditure for purchasing the Coastal Combat Ship was immediately compensated.
Allen Zhang praised her and told her, Erin, and the Beggar Gang Disciples involved in the escort task, to take some money from the project as a bonus reward.
Several hours later, as they approached the waters of Jehovah Island, they saw from a distance the coastline and the high tower buildings on the island, with the signal receivers flashing red and green lights.
Allen Zhang also received a call from Boketu, and after connecting, he inquired about the situation.
"Boss, they are not very cooperative. I have informed them that we are Mr. Jin’s people, but they insist on waiting for your arrival."
On Jehovah Island, Boketu glanced at the fully armed mercenaries, about fifty or sixty people, and reported the situation to the General Sect Leader.
They had just landed the Black Hawk Helicopter on the helipad, and the other party’s leaders approached to confiscate their weapons, but Boketu wasn’t someone to trifle with. He directly had his men bring out clay explosives and RPG rocket launchers, intending to fight to the fish’s death.
With fearless courage, they managed to intimidate the mercenaries, and a somewhat friendly exchange ensued.
"Don’t engage in conflict with them, we are arriving soon, and I will resolve the situation." Allen Zhang reassured them and hung up the phone, went to find Qibatu in the piloting cabin, and asked them to speed up.
On Jehovah Island, the atmosphere remained tense as the standoff continued.
"Since you are the mercenaries of this island, paid to do a job, you should understand that the Jehovah Plian you speak of is currently missing, and his children have also sold their family assets. This island has now been purchased by our boss and is his private property. The people who should be leaving are you; we are merely here to take over the command of this island."
Boketu tried to communicate gently with them, avoiding conflicts and bloodshed.
The mercenaries maintained restraint and did not act rashly, stating calmly, "Before Mr. Jin arrives, we will not allow anyone to land on the island, compromising its security and privacy. Before your arrival, there was already an armed conflict on Jehovah Island yesterday, with at least twenty people------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Googlᴇ search NoveIꜰire.net
