Chapter 805: Chapter 479 These Can All Be Purchased!

"I think we need to install more anti-aircraft machine guns on the island, or maybe man-portable air-defense missiles," Lincoln Harrington was the first to speak out, having thought about this for several days. He had also taken a look around the island in the last two days.

Without looking, one wouldn’t know, but after taking a walk, it became clear that if outsiders attacked, the island was full of vulnerabilities!

"There are quite a few places where one could land on the island. Originally, the mountain was flattened to create the current layout, and the majority of the perimeter consists of cliffs.

At first, we thought this terrain would be difficult to scale, but after this attack, we realized that it can deter gentlemen but not villains. So, I believe we need to strengthen our facilities in this regard. For instance, setting up iron wire mesh and installing monitoring equipment.

Plus, we need guns. Of course, having drone patrols would also work, and among the people we’ve hired, there are those with such expertise, so I think we should make use of them."

Sean Knight frowned—wasn’t this making things a bit too complicated?

"Actually, the main concern is the living area," Elijah Hastings noticed Sean’s expression and said, laughing, "We don’t need to worry too much about the tourist area—there’s no stopping that with so many people there. As long as we strengthen the defenses around the living area and the airport, there’ll be a lot less trouble."

Sean thought about it and realized it made sense, after all, the island was in the sea, mainly facing threats from the sea and air. Until now, he had only considered one of these aspects.

For the sea, military speedboats could be purchased for patrols. As for the air, what to do? The only options were what Lincoln suggested, using man-portable air-defense missiles and anti-aircraft machine guns for defense.

"We’ll need more patrol speedboats on the sea as well; the sea territory around us is too vast, and a few boats don’t seem enough to address the problem. Besides, the logistics of fuel supply are too troublesome; it’s better to have more," Douglas Cooper also offered his suggestion.

"It would be best to build a separate pier for the living area, so it wouldn’t affect the tourists," Lincoln continued with his considerations, "Right now, every time we return from the sea, we have to go through the tourist area’s port and then rush here. For one, the road is long, and secondly, it makes us an easy target for attacks."

This was indeed an important point.

Having completed the tour twice, Sean also noticed this problem. The island’s circumference was over a hundred kilometers; coming from the harbor was at least dozens of kilometers. In theory, it should take one hour to get there, and while it was lively,

it made him think of last time when Oscar Tan recognized him. In the future, passing through here again, it’s not guaranteed he wouldn’t be recognized by someone with intentions.

Or worse, someone could get wind of it and lie in wait for him, which would be troublesome.

"Let’s sort this out," Sean said, "What we must construct now includes the iron wire mesh around the island, a separate pier for the living area, and necessary anti-air installations at some locations.

As for the equipment to purchase, man-portable air-defense missiles, anti-aircraft machine guns, patrol speedboats..."

"The patrol speedboats should be equipped with machine guns, cannons, and short-range missiles," Douglas interjected, "They must have significant firepower, and the steel plates should be thicker. They’re fine against fishing boats, but if someone with malicious intent comes with an RPG, then it could be troublesome."

"All right, let’s include that as well," Sean nodded, "I think all these items can be easily obtained domestically...

"But they won’t sell them to us!" Elijah chuckled bitterly, "Think about our identities—we are still citizens. Could we possibly be sold military weaponry from domestic industry?"

Sean laughed:

"No problem, I’ll just bring in Mr. Brooks. After all, on the surface, the island still belongs to him."

Hearing Sean say this, Elijah and the others all laughed.

Indeed, they were well aware that the island was actually purchased in the name of York Howard.

"By the way, has Mr. Brooks’s child been born yet?" Elijah suddenly asked.

"Not yet?" Sean thought for a moment and said, "I don’t think it’s time yet, is it?"

"Then shouldn’t you, boss, go over and invite Mr. Brooks?" Lincoln asked.

"Of course, it’s a good opportunity to send them well-wishes in advance," Sean pondered and said, "We won’t take the yacht this time, it’s too exhausting, let’s just take a plane there directly."

All three agreed; taking a yacht would take two to three days, while a plane would just take a few hours and was more convenient.

"Alright, this time Lincoln and Douglas will stay behind, you two discuss thoroughly with Lana Brown what else needs to be constructed. When I make a phone call to Mr. Scott, I’ll bring it all up together."

The construction of the entire island was undertaken by the Xinjiang Overseas Branch, and the quality of their work was very high, as was their follow-up guarantee work.

Thus, Sean decided to entrust the remaining miscellaneous projects to them as well—after all, it’s best not to bother with two when one will do, and they’d be familiar with the place.

After discussing everything, Lincoln and the others returned to the villa, and Sean looked over the villa that had not yet fully recovered and sighed.

Indeed, it was time to step up security.

He was forced to escalate to a military level of armament. This must be the kind of problem only the wealthy face.

However, thinking about it, he realized it was a situation he had brought upon himself.

After all, if he hadn’t trifled with those hackers online, he wouldn’t have attracted these island attackers.

After all, faced with the prospect of several billion US dollars that seemed easily attainable, who could resist?

Lana Brown was chatting and laughing with Monica Reed and Christina Blackwood in the guest room. Not wanting to disturb them, Sean went straight to the study room.

The computer here was not attacked, or perhaps the attackers didn’t have the chance to; Sean still cautiously took out his notebook, connected to the internet, and began selling his digital currency.
