Chapter 1527 Ignorance knows no boundaries
Xiao Peng wasn't in a very good mood when he left the observatory, but it wasn't because Alfred was hiding something from him.
Alfred definitely had good intentions in hiding this because what happened was truly disgusting!
Van der Laupe had already prepared the car, waiting for Xiao Peng to get in and take him to the manor gate—he had to drive! Orange Garden was so huge. The straight-line distance from the observatory to the manor gate was over a kilometer. Walking there? It would be exhausting!
People used to think it was a joke when they heard a crosstalk about a house being so big that it needed a train. But now Xiao Peng realized that it was just poverty that limited his imagination - he just wanted to build a railway!
When they arrived at the manor gate, there were quite a few people there, men, women, young and old. Kasim and Walter were leading the people from the manor, staring at them fiercely. The atmosphere was very tense, and Kasim even took out his gun. There was also a container truck nearby. One of its tires was flat, and several women were crying there.
Seeing Xiao Peng get out of the car, Walter came over: “Boss, I’m sorry, I didn’t handle this matter well!”
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "This is not your fault. Didn't you call the police?"
Kasim pouted and said to the side: "No, the police are there to maintain order! They are basically local people from Delft. They dare not do anything!"
Xiao Peng snorted coldly and took the shotgun from Kasim's hand. "Kasim, close the door and arrest everyone! Including those police officers who are doing nothing! I want to ask William what the Dutch are trying to do!"
He is very depressed now.
Our ancestors were right when they said, "A pinch of kindness is worth a pinch of resentment."
Xiao Peng didn't get up today because he was talking to Chen Zetao, so their "big pot dishes" couldn't be delivered: Who dares to disturb Xiao Peng's sleep? So Walter and the others went to the place where the big pot dishes were usually delivered and put up a sign, saying that Xiao Peng was tired and sick, so today's big pot dishes would be suspended.
The people of Delft were generally considerate. Upon hearing that Xiao Peng was ill, some of them spontaneously went to Orange Garden to visit him and express their gratitude. However, Xiao Peng was asleep, so they couldn't see him. So Walter thanked them and politely sent them off.
However, many Delft residents were reluctant to leave. Walter was still there, admiring the simplicity and kindness of these Walter residents, and then he directed the "Walter Legion" to work.
Of course, Chen Zetao did not come back empty-handed this time. He brought five containers of supplies from Daxia, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, but most of them were Daxia's specialty foods.
In fact, many of these things cannot be brought to the Netherlands, such as preserved eggs and salted duck eggs. These foods are considered "foods not suitable for human consumption" here. It is very difficult and expensive to buy some of these things!
This also made Xiao Peng very depressed. Even canned herrings, a valuable commodity, could be sold openly here, yet preserved eggs had to receive such treatment? This was why Xiao Peng invited William and the others to eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge last time to justify the reputation of preserved eggs. He also used his connections in the Netherlands to open a special customs channel, so basically a lot of miscellaneous goods could be shipped in.
It is said that transporting materials is very convenient nowadays.
It turns out that the only way to get these supplies here is by sea or air. Sea freight is cheaper but takes longer, while air freight is quicker but more expensive. The cost is a minor issue, but getting so many supplies here would require multiple planes. Chartering a plane would likely cost several times more! Using an international air freight company would require even more planes! It's unclear how many days we'd have to wait at the airport for all the supplies to arrive!
But now? Just go straight by rail! Ever since the Suez Canal blockage, rail business from Daxia to Europe has been booming: rail transport is a middle ground between air and sea: faster than shipping and cheaper. There's a direct train from Daxia to Madrid, Spain! Now, supplies are loaded from Chengdu and arrive directly in Tilburg, Netherlands, two weeks later. Once loaded onto trucks, they can reach Delft in six or seven hours.
Five containers of supplies! Even if Kasim brought all the men in the manor as porters, it would take them ages to move all the supplies!
Originally, these supplies had nothing to do with the Dutch, but some people saw so much and started to get jealous! A few Dutch people actually took the lead in looting the supplies, and their reasoning was very clear: these supplies will be used to help us anyway, so we can just take them now!
It turns out they mistook these supplies for relief supplies!
Could Kashin and the others let them rob supplies? They quickly drove out the troublemakers and continued to work.
Originally they thought this was just a minor incident, but when the last container was transported, trouble arose: the people who were driven away by Kasin and others returned to Delft and brought more people to Orange Garden.
When they saw that only the last of the five container trucks was left with supplies, they rushed directly to Orange Garden, hoping to steal the supplies. During the argument, a "true warrior" did something that shocked everyone—he took out a dagger and stabbed the tire of the container truck directly!
Facts once again prove that ignorance really knows no borders!
There was a loud bang when the knife was cut, and the gas from the exploding tire blew the guy away!
The power of a container truck tire explosion should never be underestimated! The guy's clothes were instantly ripped apart by the gas, leaving him naked. He was sent flying four or five meters away. Unfortunately, the dagger he was using also flew out and pierced his arm, instantly causing blood to flow!
Seeing someone injured, Walter didn't care that he had done it himself, and quickly sent someone to take him to the hospital. After all, human life is at stake!
However, Walter thought that those people would stop there after this incident. Who knew that this incident seemed to ignite the fuse: those people directly put the blame for the guy's injury on Orange Garden. Originally, they came in to loot supplies, but now it was Orange Garden who deliberately injured people!
Someone in Delft exaggerated the story and it eventually became known as "Orange Garden bullied the people of Delft and his men stabbed Koeman" - Koeman was the idiot who stabbed the tire with a knife.
The final result was that more and more people attacked Orange Garden. Even though Orange Garden had a lot of security personnel, it could not withstand the attack of hundreds of people. In the end, Kasim had no choice but to take out his gun.
No wonder Alfred didn't tell Xiao Peng what happened - he felt ashamed himself.
