Chapter 812: Go to Sea!
Chapter 812 Go to Sea!
Cloudy and good weather, good time to go to sea.
With a rumbling whistle, a transport ship slowly sails away from the harbor and merges into the boundless ocean!
This transport ship, named "Shunfa-6," and the "Shunfa-7," which was hijacked by pirates a few days ago, belong to the "Hai Shun" transport company in Donglu Province.
After Chen Tian arrived in Donglu Province, he did not stay in the "Haishun" transportation company for too long, and if he wasted every minute at this moment, those crew members would be more dangerous, and besides, he and the deputy general manager of the "Haishun" company really had nothing to say.
The deputy general manager may not believe that Chen Tian and the five people can rescue more than 20 crew members, so after greeting Chen Tian symbolically, he immediately arranged for the "Shunfa-6" to accompany Chen Tian to the sea.
Speaking of egg pain, if the deputy general manager recognizes Chen Tian as the "wolf king" of the underground world, I don't know what kind of expression he will have.
Donglu Province is under the Tianlong Group, and the "Haishun" transportation company in Donglu can only be regarded as a middle-class industry, it can be said that the "Haishun" transportation company and the Tianlong Group are several levels behind, and now Chen Tian, the director of the Tianlong Group, personally came to the "Haishun" crew to go on the expedition, but was looked down upon, that feeling...... It's kind of hilarious.
However, Chen Tian doesn't care about these, his current identity is a soldier, a warrior of dragon rage, not a "heavenly brother" and a "wolf king".
These are all foreign words, and it is said that on the deck at the moment, Chen Tian is standing against the sea breeze, holding a black folder in his hand, which contains the information and photos of the hijacked crew members. There are also photos of the three "mercenaries" who were brutally killed by pirates.
To say that the three armed men who went to sea with the ship were "mercenaries" is a bit inaccurate, but they are not far from real mercenaries.
According to the information, the three "mercenaries" are bodyguards from a company named "Zhengyang Security Company". However, this kind of bodyguard does not protect the personal safety of those wealthy businessmen, but escorts a fleet similar to that of the "Haishun" transportation company.
Maritime transport has always been a huge risk, and fleets of ships that have had accidents on the surface abound. Excluding hurricanes, torrential rains, whirlpools, and stormy waves, the pirates who roam the seas alone are a headache.
Therefore, companies with an operating model such as "Jeongyang Security Company" also came into being. To say that they are a kind of mercenary can also be said in the past. It's just that they are engaged in the legitimate business of escorting, and most of the "mercenaries" that people know are engaged in murder and arson.
"How long does it take to get from here to the Strait of Malacca?" Chen asked.
Standing next to Chen Tian was a middle-aged man in his fifties, this middle-aged man was not tall, short and flat-headed, with thick and powerful arms, and a cigarette between his fingers, the cigarette had been lit to the end of the cigarette, but he had not thrown it away.
The middle-aged man's name is "Zheng Taiyuan", and he is the captain of the "Shunfa-6".
"Our captain's cargo is relatively small, and it is only more than a day to drive at full power. Zheng Taiyuan said, put the cigarette tail to his mouth and took a hard puff, and then flicked the cigarette butt out with a flick of his fingers.
It can be seen that Zheng Taiyuan is in a bad mood, in fact, he and the captain of the "Shunfa-7" are old friends and old friends. And now that the "Shunfa-7" has been robbed, the crew and captain have all fallen into the hands of pirates, and the life and death are unknown, Zheng Taiyuan's mood is naturally very bad.
"I heard that the mission to the sea a few days ago should have been your 'Shunfa-No. 6'?" Chen Tian asked after taking out a cigarette and handing it to Zheng Taiyuan.
Zheng Taiyuan nodded heavily, "It should have been me who had an accident, if Lao Liang really had something......
Zheng Taiyuan lit the cigarette with a "snap", and did not continue, let alone explain why. As for the "Lao Liang" in his mouth, he is the captain of "Shunfa-7".
"Don't worry, they'll all be fine. Chen Tian patted Zheng Taiyuan's shoulder and continued to stare at the magnificent sea.
A few hours later, the ship sailed far away from the shore, and the tall buildings disappeared from view. As far as the eye can see, there is an ocean all around, and that feeling is actually not very good, and an unspeakable fear will slowly breed at the bottom of the invisible center, and only the deck under your feet can give people a little "down-to-earth" comfort.
Fortunately, this is not the first time Chen Tian has gone to sea, and his psychological quality is far beyond ordinary people, otherwise if he gets seasick here, it will be a real pain. Before the person was rescued, he fainted first, what the hell is this called?
"How many years have you been in this business?" Chen Tian and Zheng Taiyuan chatted with each other.
Zheng Taiyuan stretched out three fingers, and then said: "When I was young, my family was poor, and I couldn't afford to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law. I heard that I could make money by going to the sea, so I came, and then I slowly got familiar with it, and I never changed it again. ”
Thirty years, this is definitely not an ordinary number. No matter who you are, if you can be in an industry for 30 years, he can be called a master of this industry. Except, of course, for those who have wasted their time.
"When did Uncle Zheng start taking this route, and what is the situation on the other side of the Strait of Malacca?"
Zheng Taiyuan glanced at Chen Tian, and then said, "You mean pirates, right? A few years ago, there were indeed a lot of pirates in Malacca, and you also know the location there, once the cargo ship encounters pirates, you can't run away if you want to." However, in recent years, due to changes in the general environment, there are fewer and fewer pirates there, and occasionally there are one or two small groups of pirates. But those pirates are easy to talk to, and after everyone is familiar with each other, they just pay some money every time they pass by, and what happened to 'Shunfa-7' this time is the biggest thing that has happened in these years. ”
Chen Tian also thought this was strange, and what was even more strange was that after the pirates hijacked the ship and crew of the "Shunfa-7", they did not even have a phone call to ask for ransom. That is to say, those pirates did not rob ships and people for money. But I don't need money, Nima is still a hairy pirate!
"Actually, it's a good thing to have no phone. Zheng Taiyuan said, and then explained: "Pirates are also organizations, and if they are organizations, they want to strengthen themselves, and they robbed 'Shunfa-7' probably have this meaning in it." They wanted to take the crew and make them pirates with them. This is the old rule, it should be true, so those crew members of Lao Liang may still be alive. Otherwise, this thing is unreasonable and doesn't make sense at all. ”
In this regard, Chen Tian does not have the right to speak more than Zheng Taiyuan.
"Uncle Zheng, according to your guess, could this 'Shunfa-7' incident be done by those pirates you were familiar with before?"
"I don't know, who the hell is right about this. Those grandsons are a bunch of outlaws, who let you go when they are happy, and throw you into the sea to feed the fish when they are unhappy. Now it's not as good as before, in the past, when you encountered pirates, you can run as fast as you can, and you can compete with one or two if you can't run fast. But now those grandsons' ships are also fast, and the guns have changed...... Alas!" With a long sigh, Zheng Taiyuan took another cigarette, and looked at it from afar with his vicissitudes of life, as if every sea area under this ship had a story about him.
People often say that 360 lines are the champion, but who can see that 360 lines have a period of bitter tears. In short, for people at the grassroots level, there is nothing that is easy for the mother to make money. What's even more infuriating is that these people who rely on their hands to make money and support their families are still full of hardships and dangers at every step.
……
The sea breeze is howling, and the sea surface is flooded with waves from time to time, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent. The configuration of "Shunfa-6" is not too low, and the general small wind and waves can make the hull shake slightly, but there is not much thrill.
That night, the crowd fell asleep listening to the sound of the waves. Before going to bed, Chen Tian and the others drank a little wine and slept until dawn.
When Chen Tian woke up and stepped onto the deck, Zheng Taiyuan stood on the side of the ship as he had done yesterday, smoking a cigarette and looking at the sea, as if he had never left.
Hearing the footsteps, Zheng Taiyuan didn't look back, as if he already knew that the person was Chen Tian, so he said: "It's all afternoon, and the ship will be able to reach the Strait of Malacca." What are your plans?"
Chen Tian walked over, holding a telescope in his hand and looking into the distance, where he could already see the islands jutting out of the sea, some of which had been developed, and some of which were deserted.
"When the time comes, use your lifeboats and go to the nearby islands first. Chen Tian said.
In general, pirates usually choose deserted islands as their nests. Of course, there are also many pirates living on the land of coastal countries, but those who can only be called armed robbers are only engaged in some robbery in the name of "pirates".
According to Chen Tian's estimates, it was not an ordinary small pirate organization that could hijack more than 20 crew members and a freighter, but at least a few dozen people. Such a number of people, although not very many, is already very impressive. Such a pirate organization will definitely not set up nests in countries along the coast, otherwise the ships that have been hijacked by them will be parked on the shore of the port one after another, and it will not be easy to be exposed? This is like putting two big words "pirates" on the door of one's own head, and then waiting to be wiped out by the law enforcement agencies of those countries along the coast.
While this is speculation, it is not unfounded. Zheng Taiyuan listened to Chen Tian's words and nodded slightly, but he was not very satisfied.
"The method is good, but do you know how many islands there are around here? If you check them one by one, it is impossible to check them in ten days and half a month. Zheng Taiyuan said.
Hearing this, Chen Tian smiled, "Although there are many islands, most of them have been developed, and those islands are naturally not being investigated, and there is another way besides sending people to investigate." ”
