1465. Better than a movie (5/5)

One hundred and forty or fifty harp seals, Qin Shiou thinks it's good to bring them to the fishing ground, these little guys are so cute, fat and round, and they are not aggressive towards humans, so it is good to keep them in the fishing ground as ornamental pets, which can add a lot of popularity to the fishing ground.

Winnie is even more welcome, with the Seal Town tour can have one more project.

So after Qin Shiou said this proposal, Winnie responded, and took his hand and smiled sweetly: "Dear, you are so good, take it back, I can apply for some seal adoption funds from the town to the fishery." ”

The colonel shrugged his shoulders and said that this was not his responsibility, and it would be up to the mounted police to deal with it later, if they decided to release these seals on the spot, he would help find someone to dredge up the relationship and let Qin Shiou take them away.

The group then returned to the hotel under the escort of the police, the wind and snow were howling outside, but the reporters were surrounding them against the wind and snow, this professionalism made Qin Shiou breathtaking.

When he woke up one night, there were more reporters who came to Cape Inn, and Qin Shiou was blocked when he went out to buy coffee, and a group of people asked him with a topic: "Are you the captain of the Melon Princess?" You must be right? The captain of the ship was Chinese. ”

Qin Shiou pulled Geng Junjie, who was accompanying him, over and said, "No, no, no, everyone, you admit your mistake, he is the captain, I am the crew, I will go buy coffee for the captain and the first mate." ”

Most of these reporters didn't come from St. John's, so they didn't know Qin Shiou, and as soon as he introduced him, they let him go and surrounded Geng Junjie.

Indeed, in terms of age and temperament, Geng Junjie is more like a captain, and he has just retired not long ago. He has the strength and unyielding spirit of a soldier, which can also be seen as the temperament of a leader. Qin Shiou's temperament is also very good. It's a pity that he is too young.

So Geng Junjie was blocked, and a group of reporters asked questions. It was a pity that his English was so poor that he couldn't hear clearly, and he was dizzy by the noise, and finally tried to hold back a sentence: "We are deeply shocked by this and strongly condemn it......"

Reporter: "......"

Qin Shiou braved the wind and snow into the café next to the hotel, and the newspaper that someone put down on the table was the headline.

The media from all walks of life are really powerful, and they found out the ins and outs of the matter in one night, Qin Shiou finished reading the newspaper while drinking fragrant coffee. Only then did we get a complete picture of the whole incident.

The Maine Bulldog, an American fishing vessel that had been at sea for four months, had an initial crew of forty, and at the last minute there were two fishermen, a pair of lucky brothers, who were not able to get on board because of a family illness.

The composition of these thirty-eight people is twelve led by the captain and twenty-six led by the first mate, of which the first mate and others are all hired temporarily, and they are not Portland natives, because the captain of the Maine Bulldog has a bad reputation in the local area. He was known for squeezing his crew's income, and local fishermen were reluctant to work for him.

The Maine Bulldog sailed in late September to target the North Atlantic Ocean and fish for squid and squid that go south in winter. It was supposed to be as agreed. The captain offered the first mate and his men a 20% dividend on the final income in addition to their salary.

This is normal, and all distant-water fishing vessels are treated like fishermen. It not only guarantees the basic income, but also gives employees the possibility to earn a sum of money. It can well stimulate the enthusiasm of employees.

As a result, the problem was in the subsequent fishing, and they were very unlucky. Very little is caught. In this way, the captain does not want to pay the crew a salary, but only promises to give them the final dividend.

Of course, the first mate and his entourage disagreed, and the two sides had disagreements, which laid the root of the bloody case.

The captain didn't want to lose money, so he caught a batch of harp seals and wanted to dispose of the fur and seal meat through the black market, so that at least the money the fishing boat would spend on going to sea.

The first mate and others thought that the money for the sale of the harp seals should also be shared with them, and the captain was an iron rooster and did not agree in any way. In this way, the two sides went from not saying a word to a big fight, and the first mate simply imprisoned the captain and his party without doing anything, trying to threaten him.

The captain was a ruthless man, and he rebelled against a crew member who had been arranged by the first mate to deliver food, and when he came out, he took a pistol and wanted to make a counter-killing-not really wanted to kill, but just wanted to deter the first mate and others and arrest them.

However, the first mate and his party thought that they wanted to kill people, so they attacked first and killed the captain with a harpoon, and the captain's people counterattacked, and in the end, twelve people, Eleven, were killed and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!

The one who survived was the Mexican who was the flag bearer, he was the cook on the ship, and he was extremely timid, and he hid himself during the conflict, and the first mate later found him and did not kill him because he needed someone to cook.

In the conflict, there were also casualties among the 26 first mates, and only 18 survived in the end, and these 18 people were also divided into two factions, nine people led by the chief officer and seven people led by the chief engineer.

After the killing, the two sides disagreed, and the first nine men believed that they had committed a serious crime and could not return to the United States, so they went straight to northern Greenland to find a place to hide.

The chief engineer did not think so, he felt that they had committed a crime and should go back and confess their guilt - the reason for this was that the eight chief engineers had only provided assistance during the conflict, not killed.

This is the fundamental difference between the two sides, one side is a felon, and the other side is at most an accomplice. The two sides did not trust each other, and after four days together and still discussed to no avail, the first mate destroyed the satellite phone to prevent the chief engineer's man from telling the truth, and the chief engineer destroyed the engine, preventing them from going north.

In the end, both sides understood that they could not allow the other party to survive, otherwise they would not be able to survive, so there was bloodshed again, and the first mate and his party survived to the end because they kept a pistol, and all eight chief engineers were killed!

Then there was Qin Shiou's experience, they wanted to capture the Melon Princess and go to Greenland, but they didn't expect that Qin Shiou's ship not only had fishermen, but also ten soldiers, and they also carried spears, and they went up and captured them......

After reading the report, Qin Shiou couldn't help but shake his head, what happened on the Maine Bulldog was more exciting and terrifying than a Hollywood blockbuster, as the old saying goes: Reality is finally more exciting than movies!

Nearly forty families would have been ruined like this, and if it weren't for his vigilance, there would have been even more destroyed!

This incident is not a simple bloodshed, but also involves diplomacy, the ship is American, the incident happened on Canadian territory, how to enforce the law, how to punish it is difficult to say.

The American police also reacted very quickly - there was such a big thing, they could not be allowed to react unquickly, after Qin Shiou bought coffee and went back, he saw a group of strange policemen in the hotel, these people had the word USA on their clothes, obviously the Americans arrived.
