ps: What is more terrifying than seeing a dentist repairing teeth in this world? It's time to fix four teeth! What is more terrifying than having to fix four teeth at the same time? It was suddenly discovered that not only four teeth were to be repaired, but five teeth to be repaired! After finishing two teeth today, I have to continue tomorrow. Every two days, I need four times in total. I have to consume it with the dentist for a full month. I wiped it. I have nothing to say.
I just wanted to complain, but suddenly felt that it was a pity not to ask for sympathy for such a tragic thing. Therefore, I endured a toothache and covered my face to roll around and asked for various votes .. .
"If you can, please don't kill them. I don't want to see bloodshed, just scare them away."
After hearing the captain ’s request, Gao Yang climbed on the deck and shouted down: "Listen, we are in this boat, you do n’t want to think about the good things about getting rich, I do n’t want to trouble you, but you have to Understand your situation and leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, we will no longer be warning to shoot. "
There was no response from the pirate ship next to the tanker. Gao Yang worried that the pirate could not hear his shouts. However, the pirates also have radio to monitor the public frequency of maritime contact. As long as the intercom is tuned to the public frequency, they can be contacted.
Gao Yang said to the captain lying next to him: "Tune your walkie-talkie to a frequency that can contact the pirates."
The captain was lying beside Yang Yang and said nervously: "These pirates are unusual. It turned out that no pirates did that. The pirates only wanted to ransom after taking the ship with the people. I only asked for a 100,000-dollar pirate. I can Never heard of it. "
Gao Yang smiled. Dao: "Maybe these pirates have to change routes. They plan to set up a mobile toll station at sea here. If there is a ship passing by, they only have to pay tolls. If I say it, doing so is much faster than being a pirate." Now. "
After making a joke with the captain, Gao Yang picked up the intercom and said loudly: "You listen to me, get out of here immediately, I have no patience to play games with you anymore. If it is not for the captain on this ship You are dead, you are all dead now. "
After speaking, Gao Yang let go of the intercom and said in a deep voice, "Rabbit, give him some color."
Cui Bo aimed at the pirate waving the skull in his hand. After a clear gunshot, the skull fixed on the stick was punched into a hole, and the sudden sound of the gun shocked the pirates. The pirate standing on the bow immediately lay in the cabin, and the pirates who raised their guns at the tanker shot immediately. The bullet hitting the ship's board jingled, and a series of Martian seeds popped out.
Gao Yang they don't have to worry about being hit by bullets while lying on the deck. Gao Yang ignored the bullets fired by the pirates and grabbed the walkie-talkie again, full of disdain: "The last warning shot, giving you thirty seconds, will not be withdrawn until the time, it is your head that was hit."
Gao Yang saw that the skull-shaking man was shouting loudly. The pirate on the speedboat soon stopped shooting, and then the voice of the pirate who had initially shouted to them came from the intercom in Gao Yang's hand.
"Listen, you guys have n’t figured out the situation. We are not pirates. We are skeletons. We do not rob ships. No matter whether you have armed guards or not, we do not rob ships. Just now we just showed that we had captured this ship. Ability, but we still only charge tolls, understand? As long as you pay the tolls, we will guarantee your safety. In this sea area, there will never be any trouble for pirates to find you. You see our strength. We have expelled pirates from this area. There are no more pirates on land or at sea, so you only need to pay a sum to ensure safety. "
Gao Yang couldn't believe his ears. He smiled and said to the few people around him: "No, these pirates are really planning to collect tolls, which can make me say it? But these pirates It ’s finally happening. It ’s much faster to collect tolls than to grab the money.
Seeing that there was no response on the tanker, the pirate was not right. It cannot be said to be a pirate now. It should be said to continue the toll collection: "Captain, can you hear me? Now listen to me and say that our charges are very reasonable. , According to the tonnage fee, 10,000 tons and 10,000 US dollars, but this is a business right, if you think my asking price is too high, then we can negotiate a price that is satisfactory to both parties, 10,000 US dollars, the lowest You can safely pass this sea area for ten thousand dollars. "
After hesitating for a while, the captain said to Gao Yang: "Please give me the intercom. I really want to say a few words to him."
The walkie-talkie is the captain. Gao Yang has no reason not to give him. In Gao Yang ’s incredible eyes, the captain took the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice: "Hello, I am the captain of this ship. Regarding the charge you said, I have no The right to make decisions, and I think ten thousand dollars is too high. If it is one thousand dollars, I think our business can be achieved. Of course, this is the next time. And how can I confirm that you can do it? "
The person waving the skull smiled happily, saying: "One thousand dollars is impossible, too little, but five thousand dollars is a good number, but because it is the first time, we can choose not to charge, let you free Through this sea area, you only need to remember to pay the next time, and this time it is only a notice before the charge. Also, you will soon know if what I said is true, and my boss is not talking big. Person, he will let all ships on this route no longer worry about pirates, as long as you are willing to pay, good luck, and we will see you next time. "
After saying goodbye to the captain on the intercom, the toll collectors who took the rifle with a speedboat left, and Gao Yang looked at the captain in amazement: "I want to ask, I don't really intend to pay the pirates in the future Money? "
After thinking for a while, the captain shrugged: "This question has to be asked of the owner instead of me, but if I choose it, why not? If only a small part of the money can be exchanged for safe passage through this dangerous sea, I am happy, Of course. It depends on the shipowner that it is appropriate to hire you. It is still appropriate to pay the toll to the pirates. IMHO, if all Somali pirates plan to do this, it seems that you will be unemployed. "
Gao Yang shrugged and said, "I don't worry about losing my job, I just think it's incredible."
The captain smiled and said, "In any case, today I really appreciate everything you have done, otherwise, we will be out of luck, and my boss will have to pay a large ransom. It is dark now. It ’s dinner time, you do n’t have to stay on the deck all the time. We have radar. If the pirates are close, we can find it in time, so you can sleep in after having dinner in the cabin, waiting for the transfer ship. , I will inform you again. "
Gao Yan did feel that his stomach was a bit hungry. And after a day of sea breeze, he also wanted to enter the cabin to take a rest. As for the pirates, there is really no need to worry too much. There are radars on the merchant ships. As long as the ships are close, they can be found. As for the high-lifting, they stay on the deck during the day, which is just boring.
Guarding on the ship, the merchant ship will of course be responsible for raising their room and board. When they return to the cabin, the meals are ready, but the meals on board are carried out in batches, and there are no other people when they are eating.
Basically, the craftsmanship of all the merchants on the merchant ships is not bad. They are proud that they can eat delicious meals no matter when they are performing tasks on that ship these days, and they still have different flavors from different countries. This alone makes Gao Yang They were very satisfied. After drinking and drinking, Cui Bo belched and said with emotion: "Maybe our mission at sea is really not long. If the pirates have changed their careers, then the pirates Armed escorts do n’t have to do it either. This is called lip death. "
Although Gao Yang thinks that what Cui Bo said is unlikely to become a reality, think about it carefully. It may not be possible for this to happen. The question is only whether the pirates can successfully transform.
Now the income of the pirates is not as good as before. Although there are occasional commercial ships being robbed, it was possible to rob a ship every three to five times. Now it is not possible to rob a ship in a few months. The fleet on the main route is not easy to rob. Fleet with warship can not be robbed, and even if there is no warship escort, but commercial ships that are not too far from the warship can not be robbed. If they are close to the warship, as long as they can not wait for the commercial ship in a short time, they will soon There will be a helicopter coming.
In fact, the role of warships is still secondary. The main reason why the pirate business is not good is that they have come up with it. When there are too many pirates, a large number of maritime armed escorts also emerge. The almost cut off all hope of the pirates who wanted to make a fortune by robbery.
Gao Yang did not worry about losing his job. After smiling, Shen said: "Let the British guys worry about it. Without pirates, the first thing to cry is them ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Somali pirates have made a profit. "
As soon as Gao Yang's words fell, Bruce said indifferently: "Relax, these pirates will not last long. Now the army regardless of pirates, armed guards will not fight with pirates' real swords and guns, but these pirates If they plan to change their routes and replace the ransom with robbery by low fees, then they will be really dangerous. Not to mention, those armed escorts will destroy the changed pirates first. Those British people will definitely start with pirates who threaten their business. "
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Believe, why not believe it? We have an old saying in China that the robber is self-respecting. What does it mean is that the presence of a robber or an enemy can highlight the importance of the army, so the stronger the enemy, the strength of the army The stronger the fight, the more powerful the army ca n’t kill the enemy, otherwise what else would the enemy ’s army do if the enemy is gone?
In addition to the sentence of self-reliance, there is also a saying in China to raise self-respect. If there are no enemies, then it is good to cultivate a group of enemies. Keep a strong enemy, and you will be able to survive forever, so I also think that if the Somali pirates dare to change careers, those British people will destroy the naive ideas of these batches of pirates to let all pirates know that they do n’t want to be pirates. If there is really no one to be a pirate, maybe Maybe those British guys will make a batch of pirates again. "(Unfinished to be continued ...)
