Of course, Gao Yang is no stranger to the Skull Gang, he has just dealt with the people of the Skull Gang, so Gao Yang smiled and said: "The pirate we scared away is the Skull Gang, the last time we were on this ship, we hadn't heard the name of the Skull Gang, but after only a few days, it seems that everyone is talking about this Skull Gang." ”

Anton Sayre said with a worried face: "Indeed, on the route near Cape Guadafoy, a skeleton gang suddenly appeared, they do not let go of any merchant ship, but regardless of whether there is an armed escort on the merchant ship, they will not try to board the ship, just announce the news of collecting tolls, there is no doubt that if the model of the skeleton gang can be promoted throughout the Gulf of Aden, they will shake the foundation of the existence of armed escorts at sea." ”

Gao Yang Haha smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, the Skeleton Gang's approach is just whimsical, the route of the Gulf of Aden is long, and the Skeleton Gang has controlled a large area of the sea, as long as there are pirates in other places, their practices cannot be promoted, and those merchant ships should still find guards." ”

Anton Sail smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that their approach can really be promoted, and now the pirates are not having a good time, so it is really possible for them to change their style collectively, you know, the Skeleton Gang just appeared three days ago, but yesterday in the sea near Bossaso, an armed faction also emerged, although the name is not known for the time being, but they expelled the pirates and announced that they would collect tolls, which is very similar to the Skeleton Gang's approach." ”

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, if you say that, it doesn't matter if Bossaso's people are the Skeleton Gang or not. But it seems that the Skull Gang's approach is quickly becoming popular. ”

Anton Cell smiled bitterly: "That's right. All maritime security companies are feeling the pinch. They're negotiating, maybe we'll have to change careers soon, and I don't think they'll be able to come up with a way to do it. ”

Bruce suddenly said, "I don't think so, maybe it's the pirates who are trying to change that will disappear soon." ”

Anton Sale shrugged his shoulders and said, "Perhaps, I'm a little conflicted right now, if the pirates change their style, maybe it will be good news for both the seafarers and the shipowner." But for us, the news is not so good. ”

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "You said that those British are going to make a big move, what do they want to do?"

Anton Cell shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, but many British companies have collectively negotiated twice, but unfortunately I am not qualified to participate, but I think it should be impossible for them to take the initiative to attack the Skeleton Gang, right?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "If the Skull Gang's mode is not promoted, then they won't attack." But if the Skeleton Gang's model really spreads, then it really doesn't matter. ”

Anton Sayre said incredulously: "They are all legal companies. Take the initiative to attack pirates, unless they are crazy. ”

Gao Yang smiled and pointed at himself, "Have you forgotten what we do?"

Anton Cel was stunned for a moment before he said suspiciously: "Mercenaries? You mean, if they can't do it themselves, they'll find mercenaries to help them do this?"

Gao Yang spread out his hands and said with a reasonable expression: "Of course, does this still need to be asked? When a legitimate company intends to do something illegal, I mean the military aspect, then they will either find mercenaries or pretend to be mercenaries, and the matter will be easily solved, international conventions are more important than vital interests? Don't forget that this is the Gulf of Aden, and the so-called international conventions are binding on merchant ships, and they are a fart for security companies that are accustomed to solving problems by force." ”

Anton Sayre looked puzzled and said, "So are we going to act with those Brits? I mean, we're also vested interests, do you think we'll be invited to fight together against pirates who don't want to be pirates?"

Gao Yang said disdainfully: "I can tell you clearly, no! Those British occupy the vast majority of the interests in the Gulf of Aden, so if there is something, they should also take care of it, and they will never let people from other countries interfere, and you, just do what you need to do in peace, those hidden dirty things do not need you to interfere, and you are not qualified to interfere." ”

Anton Cell shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, we'll do our own thing, we don't care about the rest, guys, we've been standing here long enough, I'm very sorry for delaying your precious rest, now go back to your cabin and get a good night's sleep, about three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, there will be a container ship here, you have to escort that ship." ”

Anton Sail can always get a job, Gao Yang they basically have no free time, but this is definitely a good thing, for Gao Yang and them, in the transit ship or the merchant ship are the same rest, not to mention any fatigue, but after more work, the money must be earned a lot more.

Gao Yang's settlement method is based on trips, according to the different goods carried on the merchant ship to determine the commission, basically a trip between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan, like oil tankers such as the escort task of the money is less, Gao Yang They can only get 15,000 a trip, and if it is a container ship, the money is more, a trip can also be at least 25,000 US dollars.

The reason why the commission is different for different ships is because even if the pirates are given the goods that are pulled on the tanker, even if they are stopped by the pirates, because the pirates do not have the port and the equipment to get the crude oil off the ship, and even if they can get the crude oil down, they can't sell it.

But if the container ship is different, if it is a valuable and not too big thing, after being hijacked by the pirates, everything that can be removed from the ship will be transported by the swarm of small boats in the way of ants moving, even if you don't want to ransom you can make a lot of money, so container ships are always favored by pirates, if you are transporting small and valuable things, then the shipowner must increase the amount of commission for hiring armed guards.

It is precisely because of the difference in cargo ships that the money earned will also be different, so after learning that the mission will continue the next day, Gao Yang said with a smile: "I like container ships." Looks like we'll be able to get some more money. ”

A smile also appeared on Anton Sayle's face. "That's right. And the more haode news is that this ship is mainly transporting appliances and small machinery, so the commission this time is eighty thousand dollars, guys. ”

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Very good, find more jobs like this in the future, the time is short, and there is more money, captain." Let me ask you a question, are you satisfied with your current income?"

Anton Sail Haha smiled and said, "Of course I am satisfied, do you need to say this? My annual salary as a captain is 120,000 US dollars, and I was worried that I would regret it when I gave up this job, but now, in just half a month, my income has exceeded 60,000 US dollars, if you count the 40,000 US dollars tomorrow, man." I now earn more in a month than I used to earn in a year. ”

Anton Sail is satisfied with his income, and Gao Jue is also satisfied with his current income. The money they earned to escort merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden was much safer than the money they had earned during their previous wars in Libya.

When I was in Misrata, Libya, I raised their commission at $10,000 a day for four people, while in Tripoli, it was $20,000 a day for five people, and now, it's basically a commission of 15,000 to 25,000 for a mission.

Although it seems that the commission of the Dao is about the same, the actual income is much less, mainly because of the nature of their mission, Gao Yang and they are now making money in the process of sailing between the two transfer ships, but the problem is that the distance between the transfer ships is very long.

There are transit ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on the westernmost side of the Gulf of Aden, and the easternmost one is east of Cape Guadafoy, and Gao Yang is on the transit ship they are on at this time, and Gao Yang's mission that they have just finished is to board a merchant ship on the transit ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and then board the transit ship after arriving at Cape Guadafoy, the distance between the two transit ships is not close, it is more than 1,500 kilometers, and the oil tanker they took is very slow, only 15 knots, and the speed is about 27.8 kilometers per hour.

It is precisely because it takes a long time to escort an escort, and it takes them almost two days to earn a commission of 15,000 to 25,000, and now it is still six people, so that the money earned is much less than when they were fighting in Libya, but the advantage of escorting is that there is almost no risk, like Gao Yang when they were in Tripoli, they were almost wiped out, and in the Gulf of Aden, there is no such possibility at all.

Of course, it is unlikely that there will be a windfall opportunity to escort in the Gulf of Aden, for example, when they were in Tripoli, Gao Yang grabbed the gold bricks, and in the rescue of Bob, each of them could get more than one million, but unfortunately this kind of task is unavoidable, and high returns are often accompanied by extremely high risks, so Gao Yang They are also happy to accept low-return but almost risk-free tasks, anyway, according to the minimum income, they can earn a thousand dollars a day compared to the vast majority of people, it is also a high income, not to mention that there are many times when the money earned is far more than that。

If nothing unexpected happened, Gao Yang felt that their time at sea would last for a long time, but unfortunately, the accident happened immediately.

Just as Gao Yang and Anton Sayre were talking and laughing as they walked to their cabin, they were confronted by five heavily armed men in the narrow passageway, and they could only go out on a mission in the early hours of the morning.

Originally, everything was very peaceful, but just as Gao Yang and the others passed by the five people who came to him, a black man who yawned and passed by Gao Yang suddenly stood his foot, and then said with a surprised face: "Chinks?

Chinks is an insulting term for Chinese or East Asians, but it can now be seen as referring specifically to Chinese people, so whether or not the black person knows that they are Chinese, it is a very insulting word.

Gao Yang immediately stopped and looked at the black man who was almost face-to-face with him: ", you have provoked the wrong person. (To be continued......)
