PS: What is more terrifying in this world than going to the dentist to fix your teeth? It is to fix four teeth at once! What is more terrifying than repairing four teeth at the same time? It is that I suddenly found that I have to repair not only four teeth, but five teeth! After repairing two teeth today, I have to continue tomorrow, two days at a time, a total of four times, and I have to spend a full month with the dentist.

I just wanted to complain about my bitterness, but I suddenly felt that it would be a pity not to ask for a vote for such a sad thing, so I endured a toothache and rolled around on the ground to ask for votes, begging for all kinds of votes

"If you can, please don't kill them, I don't want to see bloodshed, please scare them away. ”

After hearing the captain's request, Gao Yang climbed on the deck and shouted: "Listen, we are on this ship, you don't want to think about any good things to get rich, I don't want to trouble you, but you have to understand your situation and get out of here quickly, otherwise, we will no longer be warning shots." ”

The pirate ship next to the tanker did not respond, Gao Yang was worried that the pirate would not be able to hear his shouts, but the pirates also had a public frequency for radio monitoring at sea, and they could contact the pirates by turning the walkie-talkie to the public frequency.

Gao Yang said to the captain lying beside him, "Turn your walkie-talkie to a frequency that can communicate with pirates." ”

The captain lay down beside Gao Yang and said nervously: "These pirates are unusual, it turns out that no pirates do this, the pirates just want to ask for a ransom after robbing people and ships together, and only ask for 100,000 US dollars, I have not heard of pirates." ”

Gao Yang smiled. "Maybe these pirates will have to change their careers." They intend to set up a mobile toll booth at sea here. Whenever a ship passes by, they only charge the toll, which, as I say, is much faster than being a pirate. ”

After making a joke with the captain, Gao Yang picked up the walkie-talkie and said loudly: "You guys listen to me, get out of the way immediately, I don't have the patience to play games with you anymore." If it weren't for the fact that the captain of this ship didn't want your lives, you would all be dead by now. ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yang let go of the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice: "Rabbit, give him some color." ”

Cui Bo aimed at the pirate and waved the skull in his hand, and after a crisp gunshot, the skull that was fixed to the stick was punched a hole, and the sudden gunfire startled the pirates, and the pirates standing at the bow of the ship immediately lay down in the cabin, and the pirates who raised their guns at the tanker immediately opened fire. The bullets clanged into the planks of the ship, and a series of sparks appeared.

Gao Yang: They lay on the deck without worrying about being hit by bullets. Gao Yang ignored the bullets fired by those pirates, grabbed the walkie-talkie again, and said with disdain: "Zuihou has a warning shot, give you thirty seconds, and if you don't withdraw when the time comes, it will be your head that will be blown up." ”

Gao Yang saw the skull-wielding man shouting something, and the pirates on the speedboat quickly stopped shooting, and then the voice of the pirate who had shouted to them at the beginning came from the walkie-talkie in Gao Yang's hand.

"Listen, you guys don't figure it out, we're not pirates, we're the Skeleton Gang, we don't hijack ships, we don't hijack ships whether you have armed guards or not, we just showed that we have the ability to capture this ship, but we still only charge tolls, understand? As long as you pay the toll, we will guarantee your safety, in this sea, there will never be more pirates to trouble you, you see our strength, we have expelled the pirates in this area, there are no more pirates in this area, whether on land or sea, so you only need to pay a sum of money to ensure safety. ”

Gao Yang couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't help but laugh at the few people around him: "No, these pirates really plan to collect tolls, this can also make me right? ”

Seeing that there was no reaction on the oil tanker, the pirate, no, it can't be said to be a pirate now, it should be said that it was a toll collector continued: "Captain, you can hear me, now listen to me, our charges are very reasonable, according to the tonnage charge, 10,000 tons and 10,000 US dollars, but this is a business, right, if you think my price is too high, then we can negotiate a price that is satisfactory to both parties, 10,000 US dollars, at least 10,000 US dollars, you can pass through this sea safely." ”

The captain hesitated for a moment, then said to Gao Yang, "Please give me the walkie-talkie, I do want to say a few words to him." ”

The walkie-talkie is the captain, Gao Yang has no reason not to give it to him, in Gao Yang's incredible eyes, after the captain took the walkie-talkie, he said in a deep voice: "Hello, I am the captain of this ship, I have no right to call the shots about the charges you said, and I think 10,000 dollars is too high, if it is 1,000 dollars, I think our business can be achieved, of course, this has to be next time, and how can I be sure that you can do what you can say?"

The man wielding the skull smiled happily and said, " One thousand dollars is impossible, too little, but five thousand dollars is a very haode number, but because it is the first time, we can choose not to charge, let you pass through this sea area for free, as long as you remember to pay next time, and this time it is just a notice before the charge, and you will soon know if what I said is true, my boss is not a big talker, he will make all the ships on this route no longer worry about pirates, as long as you are willing to pay, good luck, we will zaijian next time. ”

After saying goodbye to the captain on the intercom, the toll collectors who were riding the speedboat and holding rifles left, and Gao Yang looked at the captain in amazement and said, "I want to take the liberty of asking, you don't really plan to pay the pirates in the future, do you?"

The captain thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "This question has to be asked to the owner of the ship, not me, but if I have a choice, what about Weishenme? If a small amount of money can be exchanged for a safe passage through this dangerous sea, I am quite happy, of course." It depends on what the owner thinks is suitable for you. It's better to pay the toll to the pirates. IMHO, if all Somali pirates were going to do this, it looks like you would be out of work. ”

Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not worried about losing my job, I just think it's incredible." ”

The captain smiled and said, "Anyway, thank you very much for everything you have done today, otherwise." We're going to be out of luck, and my boss has to pay a lot of ransom, and now it's dark, and it's dinner time, so you don't have to stay on deck all the time, we have radar, and if the pirates get close, they can spot it in time, so you can go into the cabin, have dinner, and get some sleep, and I'll let you know when it's almost time to get to the transit ship. ”

Gao Xiang did feel a little hungry. And after a day of sea breezes, he also wanted to go into the cabin to rest. As for the pirates, they really don't have to worry too much, the merchant ships have radars, as long as a ship approaches, they can be detected, as for Gao Yang and them staying on the deck during the day, it is just boring.

On the ship's escort, of course, the merchant ship will be responsible for their food and lodging, and when Gao Yang and they return to the cabin, the meal will be ready, but the meals on the ship are all carried out in batches, and there is no one else when they eat.

Basically, the cooks on all merchant ships are not bad, Gao Yang they can eat delicious meals no matter when they are on that ship these days, and they are also different flavors of various countries, this alone makes Gao Yang They are very satisfied, after the wine and food are full, Cui Bo burped, and said with emotion: "Maybe our mission at sea is really not long, if the pirates have changed careers, then relying on the armed escort to fight pirates will not have to do it, this is called cold lips and teeth." ”

Although Gao Yang felt that what Cui Bo said was unlikely to become a reality, but if he thought about it carefully, this situation might really be possible, and the question was only whether the pirates could successfully transform.

Now the income of pirates is not as good as before, although there are still occasional merchant ships that are robbed, it used to be possible to rob a ship every three or five days, and now it is not necessarily possible to rob one in a few months, the fleet on the main route is not easy to rob, the fleet with warship escort cannot be robbed, and even if there is no warship escort, but the merchant ship that is not too far away from the warship still cannot be robbed, if it is close to the warship, as long as it fails to wait for the merchant ship in a short time, there will soon 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 made it out, when there are too many pirates, a large number of armed escorts at sea also came into being, and it is armed escorts like Gao Yang who almost cut off all the hope of pirates to make a fortune by hijacking ships.

Gao Yang was not worried about losing his job, and after smiling, he said in a deep voice: "Let those Brits worry about going, without pirates, they are the first to cry, those British have made a lot of money by relying on Somali pirates in recent years." ”

As soon as Gao Yang's voice fell, Bruce said indifferently: "Don't worry, these pirates' practices will not last long, now the army doesn't care about pirates, and the armed guards will not fight with pirates with real swords and guns, but if these pirates plan to change careers and replace the ransom for hijacking ships with low fees, then they will be really dangerous, not to mention anything else, those armed guards will first destroy the pirates who changed careers, don't believe it and wait to see, those British will definitely attack the pirates who threaten their business." ”

Gao Yang said with a smile: "Believe, why don't you believe it, we have an ancient saying in China called coercion and self-respect, what does it mean, that is, there are robbers, or there are enemies to highlight the importance of the army, so the stronger the enemy, the stronger the strength of the army, but no matter how strong the strength of the army is, it can't drive the enemy away, otherwise what do you have to fight the enemy's army without the enemy?"

In addition to the phrase "self-respect", there is also a saying in China called raising self-respect, if there is no enemy, then it is good to cultivate a group of enemies, and always maintain the existence of strong enemies, so you can always exist, so I also think that if the Somali pirates really dare to change their careers, those British will knock out the naïve ideas of these pirates, and let all the pirates know that they don't want to be pirates.
