At the time of Franklin's "suicide", Neil Benson was giving a joint interview to The Times and Le Figaro.
"When we learned of Captain Franklin's crimes, we were shocked - Mr. Benjamin Kipling was inspired by justice and decided to charge Captain Franklin with the crimes of a serving naval officer who turned out to be a pirate. This behavior is unacceptable to us.
It is unacceptable to everyone. We seriously suspect that there are higher-level officials behind Captain Franklin who are related to pirates. This kind of organized robbery of ships is definitely not something that a single captain can accomplish-" Neil
Benson was shocked when he came up. He still didn't know that Franklin had committed suicide. The US military in the Philippines did not announce this news.
"So, the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines has a relationship with pirates from top to bottom, and even the U.S. Department of War is suspected. Does Mr. Benjamin Kipling have any concrete evidence?" Harrison Clay, East India Editor of The Times
It's not a big deal for Mente to watch the excitement, but a mere captain will definitely not be able to satisfy readers' gossip needs.
"Of course, Benjamin Kipling is the middleman between the pirates and the owner. Every time a transaction is completed, Benjamin Kipling can get five percent of it. From March last year to now, Franklin has made profits through robbery.
More than 100,000 pounds, after they robbed the ship, they would hide the ship somewhere in the Philippines, and then transport the goods on the ship to the United States to sell the stolen goods. This is a complete black industry chain. If no one supports it, just one captain can easily
It’s obviously impossible to achieve this level.” Every word Neil Benson mentioned was related to the U.S. government and military.
"So, will southern Africa launch retaliatory actions against the United States?" Jim Wild, editor-in-chief of "Le Figaro", is really just watching the excitement, because a pirate can lead to a war between the two countries?
Don't be ridiculous, let alone countries like the United States and Southern Africa, even if they are two small countries, if they want to retaliate to the level of launching a war, the reason will definitely not be because of this kind of thing, it must be various reasons for a long time.
The result of accumulated contradictions.
Look at how the United States bullied Iran in 2020, killing commanders and then nuclear experts, coupled with ubiquitous sanctions, it did not trigger a war.
"We are launching a lawsuit against the US military stationed in the Philippines, but this is definitely not revenge, but for fairness, justice, and peace in South Asia." Neil Benson was not fooled, and in the end, the matter would only end up with the US military stationed in the Philippines.
The U.S. military is disgraced. According to the consistent attitude of the United States, Franklin may not receive the punishment he deserves.
At the end of the World War, the U.S. military stationed in Germany also committed many evil crimes. Hundreds of thousands of vicious crimes were committed, causing huge trauma to the Germans.
After the war, the Germans also launched lawsuits against the atrocities committed by the US military, but so far, no US military has been punished for it.
As for pirates, Franklin’s case cannot be treated as an isolated case. The United States only gave up its privateering license in 1907. From 1907 to now, how many merchant ships around the world have been systematically robbed by the US military?
If Franklin were punished for this, the U.S. government and U.S. military would be involved in endless lawsuits. Victims in these years, and even those before 1907, would demand compensation from the U.S. government and U.S. military.
So Neil Benson did not expect much punishment from the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
To put it bluntly, the International Court of Justice at The Hague does not have that ability.
When Neil Benson was interviewed by The Times and Le Figaro, Jack Wiley, the special representative of the US military in the Philippines, was in the office of Sir Lauren Felix, the governor of the Lion City.
"The Rhodesian Company's behavior was rash and arrogant. The US military stationed in the Philippines will never be pirates. We have been committed to maintaining waterway security and regional peace, and at the same time persisting in cracking down on pirates. After the incident, General Wood
and General MacArthur have conducted a thorough investigation into the US military stationed in the Philippines. It is true that Filipino soldiers were involved, but there were no Americans among them. Those Filipino soldiers have also committed suicide in fear of crime. For humanitarian reasons, the US military stationed in the Philippines can give the Rhodesia Company
Some compensation, but the Rhodesian company must stop slandering the US military in the Philippines." Jack Wiley looked indignant, and Benjamin Kipling was imprisoned in the Lion City and protected by the Umbrella Company.
“So what’s going on with Captain Franklin?” Sir Lauren Felix, the Rhodesian Company has witnesses, and it’s useless for the US military in the Philippines to deny it.
"There is no captain named Franklin in the U.S. Army in the Philippines. There are indeed people named Franklin, but their military rank is not captain, so Benjamin Kipling is a liar and his testimony cannot be believed at all." Jack
As soon as Willy comes up, he uses his big moves.
“Nonsense, many people have seen Captain Franklin.” Lauren Felix was dissatisfied. You can imagine such a loophole-filled excuse. It is indeed very American.
It's true that the blue is better than the blue. No matter how much you try to save your face, you can't do such a thing.
At least the UK can no longer do such a thing.
"I can call all the people named Franklin over and let Benjamin Kipling identify them face to face." Jack Willie was full of confidence. If the US military in the Philippines was really shameless in this matter, Rhodesia Company really wouldn't.
Method.
"So you mean, pirates have nothing to do with the US military stationed in the Philippines?" Sir Lauren Felix was simply angry. It's so shameless. Don't call him my son in the future.
“Of course!” Jack Willie said firmly.
“Then why do you have to compensate the Rhodesian Company again?” Sir Lauren Felix made the same mistake as a certain judge. It was not you, so why do you feel guilty.
“I just said, humanitarian——” Jack Willie finally showed a successful smile on his face.
The next day, with the consent of Neil Benson, Sir Lauren Felix actually arranged for Benjamin Kipling to identify all the US troops stationed in the Philippines named Franklin.
"There is no need at all. Since it was proposed by the Americans, the Americans will definitely not send Franklin over. I can guarantee that the real Franklin should be dead by now -" Zhu Yang, senior director of the Umbrella Company, was sending Benjamin
When Kipling was escorted into the car, he complained to the assistant beside him.
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is a special request from the Americans. Since the Governor has given the order, we must do this." Zhu Yang's assistant, Xing Mang, is also Chinese. The meaning of his name is not very good. It is probably the name of the gentleman who helped choose it.
He has a grudge against me.
“Why do Americans have to arrange an unnecessary meeting?” Zhu Yang was sensitive and immediately thought of this question.
Xing Yan was stunned for a moment, then silently went back to get two more magazines, and put two more grenades on his tactical vest.
The place where Benjamin Kipling was imprisoned was the Umbrella Company's safe house on the outskirts of Lion City. To go to Lion City, you have to pass through a section of road with uneven road surface.
There is no way around it. Although the Lion City is the most important British colony in East Asia, under the management of the British, the various infrastructures in the Lion City are really mediocre.
In order to ensure the safety of Benjamin Kipling, the Umbrella Company sent three armored vehicles overnight from East India. Benjamin Kipling boarded the second one. There were a total of 25 Umbrella Company mercenaries in the three vehicles.
"I hope you have a safe trip." Zhu Yang and Xing Mang sat on either side of Benjamin Kipling. These three armored vehicles were not equipped with heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns or grenade launchers. The body armor was specially reinforced to provide
Strong protection. Unless it is directly hit by a large-caliber artillery shell, grenades will not cause much damage to the members in the armored vehicle.
The door to the safe house opened, and three armored vehicles filed out. Zhu Yang glanced at Benjamin Kipling, who was looking frightened, and casually picked up a steel helmet and put it on Benjamin Kipling's head.
“Are we going to war?” Benjamin Kipling’s voice was trembling.
“Don’t worry, if there is an accident, just lie down on the floor and leave the rest to us.” Zhu Yang was not very worried. After all, the Lion City is not Manila, and the chance of danger is low.
But don’t be careless, and don’t judge Americans with too high a moral bottom line. If you were in London, Americans would be a little more restrained.
In South Asia——
In European terms, Asia is a barbaric land.
Less than ten minutes after leaving the safe house, the Lion City was already in sight.
At this time, there was a broken down car in the middle of the road. Seeing the armored vehicle approaching, the helpless car driver was overjoyed and stood in the middle of the road with his hands raised to ask for help.
The driver of the first armored vehicle had no intention of stopping. The mercenary on the co-pilot stretched his shotgun with a shortened barrel out of the window and fired a warning shot into the sky.
——
The huge sound of the shotgun was still very intimidating, and the driver immediately rolled and crawled out of the way.
Boom!
The armored vehicle recklessly knocked the car parked in the middle of the road away and drove away. If this was a trap set by the Americans, then the Americans would have underestimated the professionalism of the Umbrella Company.
In terms of professionalism, Americans are really far behind Umbrella Corporation. In 1963, US President Kennedy was shot and killed in broad daylight. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen in southern Africa.
The motorcade sped along and drove directly into Sir Lauren Felix's official residence. When Zhu Yang got off the car, Jack Willie was standing on the steps in front of Sir Lauren Felix's office.
Zhu Yang smiled at Jack Willie and gave Jack Willie a middle finger.
There are some things that you really can’t just rely on.
ps: Yesterday, the temperature dropped in a large area. It was already noon and the temperature was only minus 12 degrees. The dog vomited and had diarrhea. He was trembling all over. He held my hand and licked it non-stop. I forgive Yutou, a single dog who only has one.
With only a dog as my companion, I really have no intention of coding, so I will try to make up for it today——
