Chapter 224: Partner

After waiting for the oil tanker to sail out of the dangerous sea area and get in touch with the transit docked on the high seas, the oil tanker stopped, waited for the small boat to be lowered on the transfer ship, and took Gao Yang and the six of them to the transfer ship.

The so-called transit ship is also a helpless choice, the reason why the crew of the merchant ship has no ability to resist in the face of piracy, in addition to the fact that the crew of the merchant ship is only some ordinary people, the main reason is because of the restrictions of international conventions, the merchant ship cannot have weapons.

If you keep sailing on the high seas, no one cares if the cargo ship is equipped with missiles and cannons, but if you enter the port of another country, once someone finds out that there are weapons on board, there will be big trouble, and the same is true for armed escorts, on the high seas, armed escorts can use any weapons, but if you want to bring weapons ashore or enter the territorial waters of a country, you can't, as for ports, not to mention.

If you don't plan to abide by the law, it's okay to carry a brush without a weapon, but after all, armed escort at sea is still a legal and high-profile profession, so armed escort at sea must also be legally bound and cannot carry guns ashore, in order to solve this problem, transit ships came into being.

Transit ships are docked on the high seas and are operated by private individuals, and when armed escorts get on and off merchant ships, they are close to the main channel on the high seas, and merchant ships should be close to the transit ships to pick up and drop off the armed escorts, rather than having to let the armed escorts disembark and disembark the merchant ships in the port.

The existence of transit ships not only avoids legal problems, but also makes it more convenient, as they dock in areas where they are not threatened by pirates, and as long as there is no threat, the merchant ships can put down their armed escorts. You don't have to go all the way to the port of your destination with an armed escort.

Their transit ship was converted from an old cruise ship with a displacement of two thousand tons. After contacting the transfer ship. The transit ship sent a dinghy to pick them up and take them back to the transit ship.

Everything went smoothly, bidding farewell to the escort tanker and boarding the dinghy, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and when Gao Yang boarded the transfer ship from the special gangway, he had just walked to the deck, but he heard a man say in a loud voice: "You have finally returned." You should have been back two hours ago, according to my expected time, and you weren't in any trouble, were you? ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Anton Sayre? Kuta, a Scottish-American, is also their partner this time.

Anton Sale went from a sailor to a first mate, and then finally to a captain, and he couldn't be more familiar with everything at sea, but just Anton Sell had just accomplished one of his great goals in life. Finally became the captain of the ship, but not for two years. Anton Cell resigned from a shipping company he had worked for for a long time.

The reason why he refused to be the captain again had a lot to do with the fact that Anton Sail encountered a pirate in the Gulf of Aden and was almost kidnapped by the pirate with the ship.

At that time, Anton Sayre's ship also had armed escorts, but the situation when he met the pirates was a little different, at least more than 20 pirate boats surrounded his ship, and the pirates were about to board the ship, and the four armed guards on the ship saw that there were many pirates, and they planned to surrender, anyway, the Somali pirates were also very principled, that is, they asked for money and did not die, even if they surrendered, the crew would not be in danger of life, and they were very likely to be put back directly by the pirates, So the four security guards only fired a few shots, which attracted random gunfire from the pirates, and the four security guards actually stopped firing and waited for the pirates to board the ship.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a helicopter sent by a warship rescued Anton Sell's ship, so that Anton Sail did not fall into the hands of pirates, and Anton Sell, who was frightened and stimulated, also saw a business opportunity from his experience, so he made up his mind to change his career immediately.

Anton Cell, who is no longer a captain, decided to set up a maritime security company, although he is a complete layman in the security and defense industry, but Anton Sail also has his own advantages, he has run a lifetime of ships, he knows a lot of people, and it is easy to get business, even if he can only take over the business of the shipping company he worked for before, it is enough for him to make a lot of money.

Anton Sale didn't have his own manpower, and he didn't know the way of security and defense, but he knew Downey Jr.'s father, and then Anton Sale naturally hooked up with Downey Jr., and then things went smoothly, and the six of them became Anton Sayre's collaborators.

Anton Sail is in charge of pulling business, and is responsible for promoting their life and rest on the transfer ship, and Gao Yang is responsible for the use of force, and as for the money earned, the two sides will divide it equally, and then each will give five percent of the total amount to Downey Jr.

The reason why Gao Yang and Anton Sayre both want to give Downey Jr. 5% of the money is because the security company established by Anton Sail City is not properly registered, nor has it joined the Maritime Industry Security Association (SAMI), an international NGO. Anton Sail was simply unable to make a commitment to the absolute safety of merchant ships when he was doing the work.

Gao Yang and Downey Jr. have an agreement that as long as Downey Jr. finds a task for them, they will pay Downey Jr. 5%, and Anton Sayre needs Downey Jr. to launder the money for him because the company is not legal, and he needs Downey Jr. to launder the money, so Anton Sail also needs to give Downey Jr. 5% of the money.

The cooperation with Anton Sail is still very pleasant, Anton Sail is really good, unlike the captain who is an ordinary seafarer who is always full of swearing, and he can't live without wine, on the contrary, Anton Sail always has a smile on his face, and takes good care of Gao Yang them, as long as Gao Yang they come back from a mission, no matter what time it is, they will always see Anton Sail waiting to greet them, and only when they see Gao Yang and a few of them return safely, Anton Sail can rest assured.

Gao Yang smiled at Anton Sail and said, "I encountered a little trouble, I can't even call it trouble, I met some pirates who didn't open my eyes, and I was scared away by us." ”

Anton Sail looked at the group of people standing behind Gao Yang, and after confirming that no one was injured, Anton Sail nodded and said, "It's good that no one is injured, next time this happens, call me to report that I am safe." ”

At this time, Cui Bo Cui Bo said with a smile: "Captain, don't worry about us, we are not children, and you are not a resentful woman who looks forward to her husband coming home, listen to me, don't stay up late next time and wait for us." ”

Anton Sail smiled bitterly: "I've been the first mate for too many years, this is a position that needs to be worried about, if I don't arrange my responsible work well, I can't sleep at all, I'm afraid I can't change this habit for a while, okay, now I ask the pirates you met, is it a group of guys who call themselves the Skeleton Gang, you have been away from this transit ship for a few days, and in the past few days, the transfer ship here has been talking about this Skeleton Gang that suddenly appeared, I listen to those British, They seem to be about to make a big move.
