Chapter 321 I Have a Solution
Seeing Xiao Peng's angry look, everyone chose to remain silent.
After all, they were facing a country, a Mediterranean power at that. No matter how rich Xiao Peng was, he was just one person. How could he cause trouble for a country on his own?
Unless he is a financial tycoon who caused the financial crisis, but Tuji is not stupid. He just climbed out of the financial crisis two years ago, how could he fall into the same pit twice?
The atmosphere on the ship was not good, and the entire cockpit was eerily quiet.
The only one who was not affected was Walter, who had been reading a book since he entered the cockpit.
Seeing Walter sitting on the side with a book in his arms, Kasim whispered to Bruch, "What's wrong, boss?"
Bruch said, "Of course it's reading! Pascal gave the boss a book, and he kept holding it since he got on the boat. Is reading so addictive? Sometimes I'm afraid he'll fall into the sea. It's not like you guys went to Belarus for such a long time."
Kashin sighed: "Don't mention it, we didn't do anything in Belarus."
"Nothing?" Bruch asked curiously.
Kashin spread his hands. "I went to a strip club and saw a strip show. Halfway through, I heard someone was looking for trouble with the boss. Ever since then, I've been staying with the boss in the Belarusian Library every day. The boss is even more addicted to reading than the boss! It seems like he can't stop! We spend every day in the parking lot in front of the library. I'm starting to miss the days on the boat."
Xiao Peng heard the two people mumbling there, tilted his head and asked, "What? Have you figured out a solution?"
Kasin quickly said, "Boss, we're talking about our boss. Don't you think it's strange that he keeps holding a book? Our boss is very experienced. I'm curious why he doesn't come up with any good suggestions."
Xiao Peng looked at Walter, who saw that everyone was looking at him. He quickly spread his hands and said, "Boss, I have no choice. If the native chickens didn't have a 'love whoever they want' personality, they wouldn't be called 'junior high school husky'. Do you have a way to make a husky obedient? Boss, are you going to let us go against a country? Don't you think this is too unrealistic?"
"Oh." Xiao Peng sighed after hearing this.
How could he not know the truth of Walter's words? He was so anxious because he was so angry.
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. Let's eat first! Chen Cheng, have the people on the boat prepare some braised pork. I've been craving this in Belarus. Walter, what book are you reading so enthusiastically?"
Walter handed the book to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took it and took a look: "Chronicles of the Ottoman Empire?"
He had read this book a long time ago. It was a very boring book. He didn't expect that Walter would be addicted to it!
Walter nodded: "Yes, I just saw what happened to the seventh Ottoman Sultan, Mokomut II."
Xiao Peng said "Oh" and returned the book to Walter. The latter reached out to take the book but saw Xiao Peng holding the book in his hand and standing there motionless as if someone had pressed the pause button.
"Boss?" Walter asked doubtfully.
But Xiao Peng shook his hand: "Don't say anything, I think I remembered something."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and quickly shut up.
Xiao Peng frowned and muttered softly, "Mukhamud II...Mukhamud II...The seventh Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, nicknamed 'The Conqueror,' fluent in eight languages, born on March 30, 1432, died on May 3, 1481. He captured Constantinople, leading to the fall of the Byzantine Empire. To the west, he conquered Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, Moria, and Herzegovina...To the east, he conquered Asia Minor, expanding the eastern border to the Euphrates River. Many historians believe he was the founder of the Ottoman Empire..."
Everyone listened to Xiao Peng mumbling there, and had no idea what he meant.
But Xiao Peng suddenly stood up and walked around the cockpit anxiously. "I seem to have forgotten something. Can you help me think about what I forgot?"
Everyone almost vomited blood after hearing what he said. How do we know what you forgot?
Seeing the man's expression, Xiao Peng knew that his question was a bit stupid. He smiled and said, "I think I forgot something important. Forget it! Let's go eat first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bell rang from the direction of Istanbul on the shore. It wasn't just one bell, but a chorus of bells echoing. Xiao Peng was startled: "Holy crap! What the hell is going on?"
Yang Zhibin said, "Boss, the Turks believe in the Islamic religion. Bells ring here five times a day, and people go to worship whenever they hear them. Now is their prayer time."
Bruch added, "They pray five times a day. The first is called 'Fajr,' the morning prayer; the second is called 'Ring Prayer,' the afternoon prayer; the third is called 'Nabi Prayer,' the afternoon prayer; the fourth is called 'Maghrib,' the prayer after sunset; and the final evening prayer is called 'Isha.' After the Ottoman Empire conquered this place and made it their capital, they began building mosques or converting existing churches into mosques. Now there are dozens of historic mosques here, and even Hagia Sophia has been turned into a mosque... So the sound of the prayer bells is like a constant throughout the city. When it's time to pray in the religious quarters, you feel as if time has stopped!"
Xiao Peng was about to go to eat, but he stopped short after hearing what Bruch said: "What did you just say?"
Bruch was stunned for a moment, then said, "I said it feels like time has stopped here."
Xiao Peng blinked: "In front."
Bruch thought for a moment: "Did the Ottoman Empire make this its capital after it occupied it?"
Xiao Peng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Walter, give me your book!"
Walter didn't understand why, but he still handed the "Chronicles of the Ottoman Empire" to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took the book and started flipping through it impatiently.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with the boss again? But seeing Xiao Peng flipping through the book intently, no one dared to ask why.
After a while, Xiao Peng turned to a page of the book and said with surprise, "I found it!"
Everyone leaned over to look at the book in front of Xiao Peng. What did you find? But Xiao Peng slammed the book shut again with a snap. "Eat, eat! Hua Chong, tidy up the boat! I need it tonight!"
"At night?" Hua Chong was a little confused.
Xiao Peng grinned: "I have come up with a way to deal with them!"
