Chapter Eighty-Three: Isolation

Inside the ship of the Redbeard Pirates.

The bilge of the ship is full of all kinds of debris, the smell of sake lees mixed with the smell of sea is permeated in this somewhat dim space, and there are constantly waves hitting outside the ship, making a muffled sound of "knock, knock", and being in this closed environment for a long time will cause greater mental pressure on people, especially in the case of captivity.

Creon, Dion, and other former Viking pirates, and now Becker's captives, were trapped here, bound by chains and ropes, and their scarce food and poor condition made them look haggard.

Barbarossa must have held prisoners before, and he had transformed the bilges into rudimentary cells, which were tightly connected and separated by walls, and the people inside could only see through the iron fence doors.

Becker sat on a chair brought by his men, smoking slowly in front of the cell door, where several captives could see.

He crossed Erlang's legs, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked through the smoke at the few captives behind the prison door, making it impossible to fathom his inner thoughts.

Two pirates came to the cell door and provided food and water to the captives, but in order to prevent them from regaining their strength, the amount of food and water was very small, only a small piece of bread and a small half bowl of water.

And because their bodies were trapped in iron chains and they couldn't use their hands, these prisoners could only lie on the ground when they ate and drank, not to mention the water or something, so that there was a foul smell near the cell.

Dieng turned the plates and bowls containing food and water over the top and rubbed them against the cell door, glared at Becker hatefully, and shouted at him: "If you want to kill us, do it as soon as possible, don't humiliate us here!" ”

Dieng squeezed his head into the crack in the fence, as if trying to come out of it and bite Becker.

The captives followed Dion and cursed at Becker, but Becker was unmoved, as if he had not heard, and when the pirates had given the captives food and water, he smoked two more cigarettes before leaving the bilge, and did not say a word to the captives from beginning to end.

When Becker came to the deck from the bilge, Akin greeted him and asked Becker, "How is it?" ”

"Separate them all, keep them in solitary confinement, don't give them a chance to communicate with each other, I'm going to isolate them psychologically," becker commanded as he walked towards the captain's quarters, "and then reduce the food supply, and starve them for a few more days, and now they still have the strength to scream, and it seems that they are not hungry enough." ”

Becker thought for a moment, then ordered Dion and the two captives who had just insulted him, and said, "Tomorrow after they are fed, they will be separated, and these men will not be given food, so that those who have food can see it." ”

"Are these guys worth putting so much effort into?" Ah Jin is not experienced enough, he is used to judging heroes by results, and he does not see things comprehensively, in order to recruit a few prisoners, Becker is so complicated that he is a little puzzled, "It's not that Donghai can't recruit people." ”

"These people have been to the great voyage, and they are all from the North Sea, and they also have a skill, and they are all talents needed on the ship." Becker said lightly.

Of course, in fact, not only that, Creon and the others are not natives of the East China Sea, whether they are familiar with this sea area or this ship, and after the surrender, it is just time to change the personnel structure on the ship.

It is foreseeable that he will not be physically on the ship for a long time in the future, and although he will continue to exert influence on the crew, in fact, even if he uses more means, his influence on the ship will inevitably decrease.

When Becker is not on the ship, the fleet will be put in charge by Akin, and Ajin is a native of the East China Sea, and he has a certain level of seniority on the ship, and his strength is not low, and his power on the ship will be uncontrollable, for the sake of caution, Becker also needs these talents from the North Sea to neutralize it, lest Becker himself end up being overturned like Barbarossa.

With his own force, he can regain control of the power on the ship, but this possibility is very disgusting and avoidable for people with a strong desire for power, just like a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder who sees something unsymmetrical.

Although Becker trusts Ah Jin, he is convinced that he is not afraid of 10,000 but just in case, and if he can nip the threat in the embryonic stage, he will kill it as soon as possible, saving him from hypocrisy, and he will have to pay a greater price in the future because of his stupidity.

What's more, even if Ah Jin himself is loyal to Becker, but in the future, he will encounter subordinates who are good at drilling camps and making clever subordinates who are clever and can't see the form clearly.

Now Becker still has only one ship, and in the future, all kinds of people and interests will be intertwined, and a reasonable plan is needed to avoid the chaos caused by the expansion of power.

In the shopping mall, even if the structure of small and medium-sized enterprises is chaotic and the system is average, they can survive by virtue of their leadership ability and personal charm, but the large consortium that can stand tall in the long river of time must rely on a good system and accumulated corporate culture.

Personal ability and charisma, Becker is confident that there are some, the system he is preparing to start creating, as for the corporate culture will have to wait for later.

Becker thinks that he doesn't have the aura of the protagonist, and he was not a pyramid scheme boss before, and he can influence one or two, and he can hook up the lofty and sacred ambitions in the hearts of a ship of pirates who are precarious and originally only want to grab money, and he thinks he can't do it, and he barely does it like the bosses he saw in his previous life who obviously have problems with the survival of the company, but still like to sing the philosophy of success and corporate culture, which is not convincing at all.

The previous speech to the crew was for the sake of the position, and talking about it for a while can make people's blood surge, but it is easy for people to feel bored when they talk about it every day.

Becker thought in his heart that before he proved himself, it was too early to talk about the corporate culture of cohesion and honor of his subordinates.

Becker was thinking about things as he walked, and Ah Jin, who was already accustomed to Becker's habits, did not make a noise to disturb.

When the two arrived at the captain's quarters, they found that Hutcherson was waiting, looking around quite sneakily.

Becker couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "Why are you still so sneaky on our own ship? ”

Hutcherson was not as relaxed as Becker, and he said with some seriousness: "Captain, Felton is a little restless. ”

"Oh? What happened to him? Becker had a little bit of Tarzan collapsing and his color did not change, and he said with a smile, "Let's go into the room and talk." ”

Hutcherson followed Becker silently, he actually admired Becker's city in his heart, if he was Barbarossa in front of him, he must have asked himself angrily what Felton had done at this time, and Hatcherson even doubted that Becker would not show too much negative emotions even if he heard that the fleet was surrounded by the navy.

As an old pirate, Hutcherson certainly doesn't simply believe that Becker is really as relaxed as he looks, but this kind of "composure" is sometimes very important to the members of the ship, at least Hutcherson feels that facing a captain like Becker who is always in the chest is much stronger than facing a captain like Barbarossa who is easily carried away by anger, and has more security, more security, and more confidence.
