Chapter 1427: Curious Reynard Johnson_1
"What did you say?"
Reynard Johnson was completely baffled on the other end of the phone. Peter Brown had just said he had subjugated Dave Hill’s Pirate Group and was now requesting the establishment of a private army on the island.
"Are you serious?"
Peter replied, "Indeed, it is true. You can send a police officer to learn about the situation. These pirates have been wanting to surrender for a while but never had the chance. After I explained the policy to them, Dave Hill led his men to surrender. I plan to select from them—those who qualify will stay as my private army, and the rest will become islanders."
"Hmm, I will send someone to understand the situation. If it’s really the case, you would have achieved a merit."
Reynard Johnson still couldn’t quite grasp the situation.
Peter went on to say, "Next, I might recruit a large number of surrendering pirates. I wonder how The Higher-Ups would handle this?"
"Normally, they’d be absorbed locally. If you truly manage to get a large number of pirates to surrender, that would be a significant political achievement. Of course, superiors would support that."
The people Reynard Johnson sent arrived quickly, and once on the island, they found Peter Brown.
Taking them to the place where he was selecting individuals, Peter said, "The qualities of pirates vary greatly. I intend to pick fifty people to form my private army."
The visitors swiftly mingled with the pirates, who were all formidable individuals. After some understanding, they confirmed that the pirates had indeed surrendered to Peter and were not inclined toward any violent acts.
