"Oh? Old Carl is back. What's the matter with him coming back at this time?"

When Allen heard Old Carl's name, he didn't stop, but after climbing a few steps, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He suddenly thought of something, but it was just a flash of inspiration and not real.

"I'm going to take a shower first, and tell him to wait for me in the study."

"Okay, young master." Hut nodded with a smile, waved his hand to call the servants following him, and asked them to prepare bath water and other things later.

…

Alan had just finished a shower and was leaning against the main seat in the study in a bathrobe. The maid behind him was giving him a head massage. As the study door was pushed open, old Carl looked at Alan with his eyes closed with a slightly embarrassed look, then stood obediently in front of the desk and waited.

"What's wrong? What's the emergency?"

Alan asked, yawning.

This kind of head massage makes me sleepy easily. I really want to go to bed early and sleep until tomorrow.

Old Carl glanced at the maid standing behind Allen and didn't rush to speak.

Alan waved the hand of the maid who was massaging him, motioning her to go out first.

When Allen and Old Carl were the only ones left in the study, Old Carl lowered his voice and said, "Master... I ran into a little trouble over there. It's not convenient to talk about it over the phone, so I came back specially to report it to you."

"What little trouble?"

What Carl said sounds like it won't be a big deal, but if I remember correctly, after returning home before Christmas, Carl stayed here for half a month and only returned to the United States in early January.

Generally speaking, Allen now leaves most of the affairs in America to old Carl. He will call him back unless there is something important. One reason is that he is old, and the constant running back and forth puts a great burden on his body. Another reason is... nothing major has happened during this period of time.

…

"Uh..." Old Carl touched the top hat in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

After thinking for a long time, he finally figured out what to say.

"Master... one of my clients has been in some trouble recently, and I seem to have been implicated."

"Your client? A little trouble? What little trouble?"

Allen thought it was some mess in Los Angeles, and he obviously had no interest in what Karl said next.

…

Since Allen met the Chinese Counselor Wang in the UK a few years ago, the two sides have had many interactions. Allen was very generous and gave the other party some gifts, both personal and for other purposes.

Later, the relationship between the two sides deepened, but Counselor Wang also returned to his country.

However, his return to China did not affect the relationship between the two sides.

Allen had previously made a movie called "The Bad Seed", in which he was preparing to give American children a big Christmas gift.

Later... because the idea of ​​that movie was really problematic, if it was an ordinary director, the movie would have been banned eight hundred times based on its content, but Allen has a special status.

The Hollywood censorship agency gave him some face and made some minor changes in translation and dubbing, but nothing else was changed. The movie was then released, and although the box office performance was not very good at the time, it did have some impact...

Of course, at that time there were still many little black guys who stood up to accuse Master Allen, but since Allen had people send these little black guys to where they should go, there were no eye-catching reports to openly accuse him for a long time afterwards.

but……

In order to cooperate with the release of this movie in the United States, Allen planned to get a batch of cheap guns and ship them to the United States to make some money.

At that time, he called these weapons - movie peripherals.

Anyway, after watching the movie, no matter whether it is adults or children, they will definitely feel a little panic, and they don’t want this situation to happen to them one day, and then...

With this idea in mind, wouldn't your family want to buy a new gun to increase the sense of security?

…

In order to find the source of supply, Allen looked around and finally chose the Type 56 automatic rifle.

The benefits of this thing...

Too many!

But the most important thing is that he can buy goods in large quantities and at a cheap price!

In the current international arms market, the AK47 is already considered cheap enough, but the purchase price of the Type 56 automatic rifle can be several times cheaper than the AK47, only reaching a quarter of the price of the AK47.

What is the concept?

The money you spend on an AK47 can buy four Type 56 automatic rifles!

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is essentially an improved imitation of the AK47. The two guns are extremely similar in appearance and the user experience is also similar. The only difference is...

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is not as good as the AK47.

But all problems are not a problem when it comes to the low price.

At that time, Allen contacted Counselor Wang and bought a batch of early model Type 56 semi-automatic rifles that had been withdrawn from the battlefield. After returning them to the manufacturer for refurbishment, the price was lower and the quality was worse, but the appearance was good. Most importantly, there was also a batch of improved Type 56 semi-automatic rifles with folding stocks.

This batch of goods was later transported to America, and then...

Later, the movie-related products failed to sell, and the batch of guns were stored in the warehouse.

But since Old Carl's network of contacts grew, he still tried to find ways to slowly ship out the guns, selling them under various names.

Slogans like "Vietnam battlefield commemorative gun" and "old gun with a lot of actual combat experience".

Anyway, we have imported goods from China several times in the past few years, and the sales are pretty good.

Old Carl has always considered this as a small part of his funding source.

I didn’t expect that after selling smoothly for a few years, during this period, I actually encountered “a little” trouble.

…

"Master... I have a client from Texas who bought guns from me a few years ago. When he first started, he didn't buy a large quantity, just a few at a time. Because he was a small client, I never met him."

Old Carl glanced at Allen cautiously, and seeing that his young master seemed to be about to fall asleep, he suddenly sped up and continued, "Later... slowly, as he bought for a long time, he became a big customer. I only met him once, and he asked me to help him get some other things."

"???"

Allen tilted his head back and said slowly, "Why? Did you sell him some illegal stuff? Bombs or something?"

"No, no, no..." Old Carl thought for a moment and said, "Uh...bombs and such are not important. He first asked me for a lot of uncut videotapes of gunfight movies. You know...I have some channels over there and can get these uncut videotapes."

"???"

"A videotape of a gunfight movie? They bought guns and videotapes? What? Are they planning a rebellion?"

Hearing that customer Carl actually bought this kind of videotape, Alan sneered, this is too childish, he is indeed an American... stupid!

…

"Young Master...well...he later felt that those American gunfight movies were not satisfying enough, so I helped him get some early war movie videotapes from China. Many things in them were very practical."

Hearing what Old Carl said, Allen sat up abruptly, stared at Old Carl with wide eyes and said, "Wait..."

Alan suddenly came back to himself.

"You just said that your client is from Texas?"

"Uh... yes sir."

"Is he buying a lot of guns from you one after another?"

"Yes."

"There were other weapons, and you sold him a lot of videotapes, even some professional ones."

"Well... you could say that."

"!!!"

Alan thought of the newspaper he had read in the car on his way back.

At that time, he felt something was strange.

That leader had so many people under him. He was just a branch of Christianity. How did he come up with the idea of ​​having a big pot and living a collective life?

Isn't this weird?

But what if... he learned this from some film or television materials?

This can also explain why they were able to withstand the siege of Fobole for two months with only a large manor and a team of hundreds of people!

…

"Is your client called Koresh?"

"Eh? Master, do you know him?"

Seeing Alan asking the name with gritted teeth, Old Carl was stunned.

"Haven't you read the newspapers these days? The news has spread here. When I came back, I saw today's newspaper was still reporting on him!"

“…”

Old Carl opened his mouth, wanting to speak but not knowing how to say it.

"I was wondering how this group of people could be so strong. It turned out that you were behind this. Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I...I...Master, this is just a small matter. I have many clients, and he is not the biggest one. Who knew he would suddenly make such a big news? I heard from my friends that Foberle is investigating this matter now. I was afraid that they would find out something, so I hurried back. I didn't pay much attention to the news over there some time ago, and I didn't know that the place where the accident happened was his manor."

Old Carl spread his hands speechlessly. This thing is like running a hardware store. Who would have thought that a random customer would buy a screwdriver in the store, and then go back and use the screw to kill people?

He was not afraid, because he dared to sell weapons and had the formal procedures in hand. However, this matter was too big now, and anyone who was involved in it would be investigated to some extent. Old Carl was afraid of implicating Allen, so he hurried back.

Because his identity in America is known to everyone. Everyone knows that he is a knight from Britain and Allen's foreign butler. If people find out about him, they will definitely think of Allen.

…

"Hmm..." Alan squinted his eyes and tapped the desk with his index finger. He was no longer sleepy.

An hour ago, he was still regretting that he was not involved in such an exciting event. An hour later...

His butler, old Carl, who usually looks extremely steady, is actually related to this matter.

Now...it's his turn to clean up the mess for his men.

Alan hated this kind of sudden situation the most. It didn't leave him any time to prepare, but if he didn't deal with it quickly, he would be very upset.

But this incident was not a big deal. Even if you put it in a big way, only a few dozen people died.

But the key point is that many children and civilians died in this incident, and one third of these civilians were from Britain.

This is fucked up.

Just like many parents, it is obviously because of their poor education that their children like to play games, resulting in poor academic performance.

Instead of reflecting on their own problems or making changes, they transfer all their hatred onto Internet cafes, mobile phones, and the games themselves, saying that these things are harming their children.

As for this incident, there is a high probability that someone will look for the weapons dealer, for example...

You sold them weapons, how could they dare to resist? And how did so many people die in the end?

In other words, if they didn't have weapons, they would have been killed by Foberle long ago, and so many civilians would not have died, right?

…

But in this incident, most of the civilians who died died at the hands of Foberle. The cultists did not kill many civilians because their manor was located in the remote suburbs of the county town with few people around. They were surrounded and beaten from the very beginning, and there was no time for them to go out and harm civilians.

so……

The problem is now very clear. In order to prevent some people from using the arms dealer as an excuse, they simply magnified the incompetence and indiscriminate killing of innocent people in this matter, and used their crimes to cover up the actions of old Carl.

As long as the public focuses most of their attention on the civilians who were killed indiscriminately and on Furber, no one will pay attention to Old Carl. If there is still...

That means they have bad intentions and want to drag Alan into this deliberately!

After thinking this through, Alan and Old Carl looked at each other, and Alan discussed his ideas with Old Carl in detail.

…

"Master...what do you mean? We need to make an article in the media?"

“Yes, but not entirely.”

Alan looked around in annoyance. Old Carl quickly picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette and handed it to Alan, then lit the cigarette for him. Then he sat down obediently, ready to listen to the young master's arrangements.

Taking a deep puff of cigarette, Allen frowned and asked, "If I remember correctly, this matter is over, right? It's over on the 20th."

"Yes, the battle was over on the 20th. The manor was breached and Koresh was killed. You don't have to worry about that. I don't know how much of my stuff he kept. I think it's likely that he has an account book or something. Only things like this can implicate me."

"Well... that is to say, starting from February, the two sides exchanged fire near their manor, and the fighting lasted for two months intermittently. During this period, if the people from Foberle wanted to investigate, do you think they would be able to find you?"

Allen discovered the key to the problem. Although this incident has a big impact now, it only had a big impact after the fight was over in the past few days and the data was exposed.

In fact, it has been nearly two months since this incident happened!

After such a long time, if someone found out something, it is impossible that old Carl would be overlooked.

so……

"They don't have any useful information at the moment!"

Alan and Old Carl looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

"Yes, so... don't worry about that. Whether they don't want to talk about it or they haven't found out, you'll be fine during this period. We sell arms in a legitimate way and do legitimate business. We pay for goods and we don't evade taxes. Everything is legal and reasonable."

"Yes, that's right, Master. Regarding the tax issue, I have always followed your instructions and never defaulted on paying it. I always paid it on my own initiative."
