Chapter 27 The Mysterious Disappearing Island

After that day's conversation, Shanks and the other two became much more diligent.

Every day, Daxiong doesn't need his supervision, and he will complete the tasks set for the day on his own, and he will even exceed the targets.

"Colonel, you're finally here!"

Huoshaoshan was about to cry when he saw Jinan walk into the office.

These days he has been living a life worse than death. He is either working overtime or on the way to work overtime. He gets up early and goes to bed late, and even has dark circles under his eyes.

"It's a fire on the mountain. Are you used to living here? Kuzan should have taken good care of you to familiarize yourself with the affairs here."

Jinan felt a little guilty when he saw the dark circles under Huoshaoshan’s eyes.

But soon, his conscience was eaten by dogs.

"Colonel, these are the documents that have accumulated over the past few days and require your signature. Please take a look." As he spoke, Huoshaoshan moved aside, revealing the scene behind.

In the office, documents are piled up like a mountain, and people standing in front of them can only sigh at their own insignificance.

"These...all of them?" Jin An's voice trembled and he rubbed his eyes, fearing that he was hallucinating.

Then, the words of Fire Mountain brought him back to reality and threw him into hell.

"Colonel, this is only part of it." Huoshaoshan was secretly pleased, "There are still many in my office and Mr. Kuzan's office."

Jinan's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Huoshaoshan seemed to have predicted Jinan's actions in advance and instantly pulled out a chair from behind him.

Jin An landed on the chair smoothly without any deviation.

Then, Huoshaoshan pushed the chair and took Jinan to the desk.

"Are you devils?" Jin An stretched out his shaking fingers and paused in front of the file. "When will all these files be processed?"

Huoshaoshan was unmoved: "All the documents in this room must be approved within the next two days. Colonel, please hurry up."

"After you finish processing, we will still need to assign personnel to deliver these documents to various places in the South China Sea, so please complete it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Huoshaoshan hurriedly left the place, and even considerately closed the office door for Jinan.

"A sin!"

Through the door, Kuzan could still hear Jin An's heart-wrenching roar.

"Senior Kuzan..." Huoshaoshan saluted, "The mission has been accomplished."

"Laugh if you want to..."

Kuzan looked at Huoshaoshan's face, which was obviously smiling as he could no longer hold back his smile, and he shook his head and smiled as well.

"Report! I have been strictly trained. No matter what happens, I will not laugh!"

Huoshaoshan tried hard to control the muscles on his face, but it didn't work. Instead, the muscles started shaking uncontrollably.

"Really? Let's see if he dares to continue to be lazy." Kuzan, the poor worker, finally paid back all the resentment he had accumulated with interest.

Those documents were a message he conveyed to the islands in the South China Sea: when the new Governor of the South China Sea takes office, the most serious incidents in various places should be reported to the Governor, who would handle them personally.

As soon as this message was sent out, the navies on those islands in trouble were ecstatic and wanted to report all the big and small things happening there.

"Isn't it a bad idea for us to do this..."

Huoshaoshan was still a little uneasy. He thought that the colonel would not make things difficult for him when he realized what was happening...

Kazan comforted him: "Don't worry, our colonel is not a stingy person and won't take it to heart."

As for whether it would be recorded in the little notebook, he couldn't guarantee it.

"Let's go, we still have a lot of things to do there." In order to achieve justice in his heart, Kuzan didn't care how much suffering he had to endure.

......

The South China Sea remains calm as usual, with no major incidents occurring.

The warm sunlight shone through the leaves onto the desk. Jin An bit his pen and frowned. He looked at the documents in his hands and on the desk, as if he saw three words - sucker.

Jin An took the pen from his mouth and said, "Why are all these people asking me for money? I run a bank, where can I get so much money?"

"Isn't it the headquarters that is in charge of distributing the money? What went wrong?"

Puzzled, Jin An could only make a note on the document requesting money, "I don't have any money, but I have my life." If you have the guts, come to the Kingdom of Solbe to discuss it in person.

Then just reject all such files.

"They're always looking for things to do for me all day... Pirates are causing trouble on Mamuli Island again! Didn't they just raid that place not long ago?" Jin'an's head exploded.

Mamouli Island is well-known in the South China Sea and is rich in dairy cows. Jinan made a special trip there to taste the delicacies of this world.

He thought that the pirates in this world were just like leeks, which would grow back immediately after one was cut.

"It seems that we need to deploy some decent naval forces to guard that island."

If we only rely on support, the island will be devastated sooner or later.

But overall, the South China Sea has been relatively stable during this period, and the momentum of pirates has been effectively curbed.

Since the situation in the South China Sea is very good, he can take a good rest, improve his strength, and wait for the moment to fight with the strong men in this world.

Boom boom boom!

"Colonel Jinan!" A navy officer pushed open the door, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and walked into the office anxiously, "I have something strange to report to you."

Can you please calm down for a while? His good mood is about to be ruined...

Jin An said unhappily, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

The navy officer did not notice the change in his boss' tone and said directly, "I am a member of the newly formed scientific expedition team. I recently discovered something strange in the central part of the South China Sea."

"In the area we have been observing, a small island mysteriously disappeared."

"That island has a huge amount of crystal deposits, and many pirates used to occupy it."

Hearing that there were only pirates on the island, Jin An was obviously relieved: "Did you find anything unusual before the island disappeared?"

The Marine thought about it for a while, but had no idea: "I'm very sorry, Colonel, we didn't notice anything wrong."

"It was as if the island disappeared out of thin air. We saw it in the afternoon the day before it disappeared, but it disappeared when we passed by it the next night."

"Okay, I'll go to the scene to check this matter out later. You go back first." It was the first time that Jin An received such a report, and he was a little concerned.

The disappearance of small islands has happened many times in naval records.

Some islands were sunk due to battles between powerful people, some were caused by natural disasters, and some were destroyed by giant sea kings.

"I wonder what caused this time?" Jin An supported his chin with his hand, looking forward to the next investigation.
