Volume 3: Calling the Wind and Rain Chapter 91 Monopoly
Chapter 91: Monopoly
The Morgan Pirates anchored in Navia City for a while, replenished their supplies, and then went to sea again, but unlike Barbarossa's previous approach, Becker, as the new helm of the ship, targeted his peers.
Monopoly is the easiest to make huge profits, and the leaders of any industry hope to obtain a monopoly position, so that the entire market can be taken and desired, and in the commercial market, sometimes large companies in order to pursue monopoly, relying on capital, technology, or market advantages, play the trick of injuring the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800 and losing 800, or even injuring the enemy 800 and losing 1,000, in order to bring down the competitors.
In the semi-closed market of the East China Sea, Becker's Morgan Pirates absorbed the team of the Redbeard Pirates, who were among the top armed forces in the East China Sea, and recruited the backbone of the Viking Pirates from the Great Route.
It can be said that in the pirate industry, the Morgan Pirates have a considerable advantage over other East China Sea counterparts in terms of force, one of the most important key "technologies" in the industry, and it is time to crush other competitors in the same industry with their own strengths.
Becker led his Morgan Pirates to use the Kalmar Kingdom as their base camp and gradually cleaned up the scattered pirate forces around them.
…………
The East China Sea, a remote town in the kingdom of Kalmar, welcomes four pirate ships flying black flags.
After four months of crusing, Becker's warships have grown from one to three, and with Tony's initial intelligence network, a little support from the Buendia family, and the strength of the Morgan Pirates, Becker and his crew are almost invincible when it comes to conquest of other pirates.
In the process, he recruited some skilled pirates from the defeated pirates to join his team, and used the spoils of the defeated pirates to supplement his own losses, expand the production of Momiji mead, and make up for the funding gap needed to establish an intelligence network.
The battleship flying the Morgan Pirate flag gradually approached the dock.
The ship moored next to the simple pier of the town with different pirate flags had already sensed the bad intentions of the Morgan Pirates, and could vaguely hear the pirates on the ship shouting at the accomplices who were burning and looting on the shore, and even fired cannons at the beach to warn the accomplices.
But these actions are obviously of little use, the pirates have no discipline at all, and the bandits who are in the forefront of the situation are so easy to be reined in.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Becker stared into the wind at the panicked pirates on the ship, and if he had a faster ship underfoot, he could easily block the docks with unsuspecting enemies.
The vast majority of pirate ships also serve as cargo ships, which are used to transport loot, and the speed is limited even if it is faster than that of specialized merchant ships, and in essence, many pirate ships are simply merchant ships with some modifications.
However, Becker did not have the energy to do such a thing as improving the battleship.
The pirate ship on the docks barely managed to gather some men, and before being blocked by Becker's ship, it slowly moved away, intending to escape.
However, the Morgan Pirates were prepared, and after Becker had three warships, he appointed Ajin and Creon as deputy captains respectively, and sat on the other two warships respectively, and he also took advantage of the situation to disperse the former captives from the Viking Pirates, and together with the old pirates of the original Redbeard Pirates, they were scattered to three ships as the backbone to control the newly surrendered and newly recruited other pirates.
Becker commanded Creon's warship and his own ship to chase the enemy ship, while Akin and his crew sailed to the docks to clear the remnants of the other enemy pirates.
Becker's target ship was already undermanned, and since it had just set sail, it was not fast, and it was not long before it was caught up by the nearest ship of Creon.
Then he saw Creon's battleship approaching the enemy's side, and suddenly a puff of gunpowder smoke rose from it, consisting of two iron balls, and the chain bullet with a strong iron chain in the middle suddenly swirled and whistled towards the enemy ship.
Two chain shells landed on the deck of the enemy ship, and the chained shells swept past the pirates who were busy sailing on the deck, and the blood of the stumps could be seen in the distance, but more chain shells hit the masts and sails of the enemy ships, and the masts were crumbling, and the sails were broken through multiple openings, further slowing down the ship.
By the time Becker's ship caught up with the enemy ship, Creon had already led his men to take overboard.
Behind Becker, the navigator sent by the Buendía family couldn't help but compliment when he saw this: "Sure enough, what kind of captain there is, what kind of crew there is, Mr. Creon's bravery really has a bit of Captain Morgan's charm!" ”
Becker smiled silently, and then said: "You go back to the cabin first, the brave crew is of course very important to me, but the people who can help the ship sail are also indispensable to me, if you are injured by the pirates on the enemy ship, then even if I kill them all, I will not be able to make up for this mistake." ”
"Yes!" The navigator sent by the Buendía family replied respectfully, and then ran to the cabin very quickly, if it were not for his future life on the ship, he would have gone into hiding long ago.
His predecessor, Quartermaster Neil, heard that because of his good relationship with Becker, he was sent to the naval base by Alcatio with the nod of Alcatio, and successfully escaped from his unsuitable pirate career.
On this side, the two ships of Becker and Creon easily had the upper hand, and on the other side, Akin's warships had also sailed into the dock, and the dock area was very empty.
Becker is a person who is more superstitious about the system, and he has always believed that small and medium-sized enterprises can develop by virtue of the personal charm of the leader, but if large enterprises want to achieve healthy growth and operation, in addition to the talent of the leader, they also need excellent system support.
When he was under Barbarossa, Becker had talked to Akin about how pirates were like herding sheep as soon as they came ashore, and the enemies he had encountered in the past and this time had obviously committed this problem, which proved that Becker was right in the first place.
Although the East China Sea is known as the weakest sea area, there are also a lot of pirates, and it is foreseeable that the Morgan Pirates will inevitably encounter battles to enter villages or small towns to exterminate the remnants in the future, so Becker has always wanted to develop a tactic that can respond even in an emergency, which can not only be broken into zeros to eliminate sporadic targets, but also echo each other to deal with strong enemies, and can quickly gather together at critical moments.
The idea is very beautiful, but unfortunately Becker is really not good at this, and he has no talent in this area, so he can only give up for the time being.
The pirates of the Morgan Pirates entered the town and began to search for the enemy, but they were pirates after all, and Becker was able to strictly order them not to burn and loot, but let these old pirates, down-and-out sailors, bankrupt fishermen, etc.
(A classmate on WeChat said that Luffy was called a straw hat by the navy, and the shell should be called Huang Mao with reference to red hair and factors that distinguish him from it, and called me an old driver, conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't have this kind of thought.) o((⊙_⊙))o, of course, if the title of "yellow hair" is really expected by all, I support the voice of the masses...... )
