Chapters 616 to 620, Dragons
The gap between the two sides is too big, just like the gap between Tong Chengkong's strong body and their lean body.
If it weren't for the fact that it was lunchtime, Butler James coughed lightly twice and pulled Cheng Kong's somewhat confused thinking back, I really don't know when this class would be held.
"Hehe, in order to welcome the arrival of the three distinguished guests today, Mr. Matsumae personally went to hunt and kill a shark, so please go to the restaurant."
Cheng Kong was embarrassed to brag about the shark, but Lao Ma invited the three botanists to dine together with a smile, and put gold on Cheng Kong's face by the way.
In this way, these three botanists have a good impression of Cheng Kong.
At least Cheng Kong is not the kind of nouveau riche who sits and enjoys happiness, and he also loves sports.
Well, if shark hunting is a sport.
Lunch passed quickly, and the skills of several chefs were really good, so that the dry diners who had never eaten shark meat at all were refreshed.
The three botanists even licked the plates.
Well, it can be seen that their situation in Europe was not very good before.
After finishing lunch, Cheng Kong immediately asked Butler James to arrange a villa for the three botanists, and gave the fifth basement floor to the three botanists as a laboratory area.
Of course, regarding the expenses required for various scientific research equipment, medicines, etc., Cheng Kong has already written a check to James, and in the next period of time, the three botanists will make a list of the required scientific research equipment and medicines, and then the James butler will issue an order.
Meantime. It is also necessary to hire a construction team to renovate the five underground floors.
After Steward James took the botanists on a tour of the fifth basement floor, they were satisfied with the vast area of the fifth basement floor, as they requested. The fifth basement level needs to be separated into three areas.
Among them, the most extensive area should be regarded as the plant planting area, followed by the germ cultivation area, and the most extensive is the laboratory.
The construction of these three areas alone cost a lot of money.
First of all, the plant growing area needs to be equipped with a sufficient number of solar lamps to provide the 24-hour sunlight needed for plant growth, and of course there must be a sprinkler irrigation system, a geothermal system, and so on.
In addition, the entire plant growing area is divided into dozens of districts. Between each other, the short channels connected to each other should meet the three-proof standard.
Anti-bacterial and viral pollution, anti-pollen pollution. Antivirus.
These are necessary measures, otherwise any mistake could lead to the failure of the research project.
Secondly, the germ cultivation area needs to be converted into rows of honeycomb areas to place the medium for cultivating the germ.
In a word. The renovation of the fifth basement level alone would cost more than $30 million.
With the start of the renovation of the fifth floor. Cheng Kong also began to repatriate Prince Shah's servants. The servants he had recruited were already ready for the job.
This is a necessary process, and there are too many secrets that cannot be revealed on the island of Achilles in the future.
As a result, these servants had to be repatriated to Prince Shah ahead of schedule.
Although these servants may not spread what they see and hear, such things should be nipped in the bud.
After receiving Cheng Kong's notice, one of Prince Shaha's butlers took the servants away, and of course brought Prince Shaha's respect.
With the departure of Prince Shah's servants, the entire Achilles Island can be said to be their own.
Well, based on the principle of secrecy. Everyone signs a series of confidentiality clauses when signing an employment contract, which can be summed up as what you see and can't say. You can't ask, you can't ask, and the same goes for what you hear.
In the event of a default, you will be subject to a penalty of $10 million for default.
Of course, these things can only prevent gentlemen, and it is somewhat difficult to prevent villains.
But fortunately, with three times the salary of Europe, and the island of Achilles on the sea, even if it is a big mouth, you have to consider the consequences.
I leaked my secrets, and I couldn't run away if I wanted to. Of course, this is Cheng Kong's idea, although there is a ship on the island, but if you want to escape under Cheng Kong's nose, is it possible?
"Where is the brimstone?"
Before sending Prince Shaha's people away, Cheng Kong couldn't wait to test whether the sulfur in the Lord's World was useful to the Red Dragon Cup.
If it is useful, the result is needless to say, if it is not useful, then the Red Dragon Cup is a waste in the main world.
"Put it in Warehouse One."
Butler James answered Cheng Kong's question with a smile.
For a housekeeper, smiling is a must when facing the master.
"Hmm." Cheng Kong nodded, and then headed towards Warehouse No. 1.
In addition to more than 20 villas and three rows of accommodation buildings, Achilles Island also has a row of warehouses on the surface, which contain some essential electrical parts and some ATVs, so it looks empty.
However, in the No. 1 warehouse, it was full of purified sulfur, packed in plastic barrels, each barrel was 100 kilograms, and it was piled to the brim, and as soon as the warehouse door was opened, there was a pungent smell of sulfur wafting inside, as if standing on the crater of a volcano.
Butler James wondered, what was the use of Mr. Matsumae asking him to buy so much sulfur?
As a top student at Cambridge University and a three-degree holder, James Butler knew the usefulness of sulfur, although he did not specialize in chemistry.
Dyes, pesticides, matches, gunpowder, rubber, rayon, etc.
It can be said that sulfur is an extremely important chemical raw material.
But the question is that here is the island of Achilles, dyes, pesticides, matches, gunpowder, rubber, rayon? Are there any of these factories here?
If you want to make gunpowder, it is still useful to blow up stones on the island, but gunpowder made from sulfur is good for TNT?
Who still uses the oldest-fashioned black powder now?
A large bag went down and lit it, and it was estimated that even a foot square stone would not collapse.
However, the owner called to buy it, and Steward James could only buy it back even if he was full of doubts.
But he followed to see what his master could do with the brimstone.
Cheng Kong saw that Steward James had been following behind him, and he also knew the European housekeeping tradition.
For the hosts. An old-fashioned butler like James is the equivalent of a master's hand, and there is no secret that should not be told to the butler.
Faithfulness is the guarantee of their credibility.
Otherwise, in the wealthy families of Europe such as Chade. Nor can a steward occupy such a high position.
Even the heirs of those wealthy families did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for the patriarch's butler.
These old-fashioned butlers have become one with the wealthy family, and even the highest stakes are unlikely to betray them.
Well, Steward James starts here.
Cheng Kong thought about it for a while, but he didn't drive Steward James away.
As the housekeeper, the de facto person in charge of logistics on this island, Cheng Kong has many things that it is impossible to hide from this housekeeper in the future.
Therefore, Cheng Kong decided to spread the matter to Steward James.
"James. How many secrets do you feel there are in this world? ”
Cheng Kong leaned against the door of the warehouse, a cigarette in his mouth, and a smile on his face. looked at James and said.
"Ou, Mr. Matsumae, there are too many secrets in this world, but the problem is that you smoke here. Aren't you afraid that the warehouse will blow up to the sky? ”
Steward James watched Cheng Kong's actions. I couldn't help but sweat down my back.
So far, there has been no news of a thumphur warehouse exploding with a bang, but it is a flammable item after all, and Steward James really wanted to pounce on it, snatch Mr. Matsumae's cigarette, and then chop it out.
Could it be that all the people of Himaru don't take their lives seriously?
James thought critically in his mind, if Toyotomi Koji knew his thoughts, he burst into tears: "I'm afraid of death!" ”
"Don't worry about it. James, right. Do you believe that there are dragons in this world? ”
Cheng Kong saw beads of sweat the size of beans on James' butler's forehead, and he stopped smoking, throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and crushing it.
This move immediately made Steward James breathe a sigh of relief, and even his words became brisk: "Believe, sir, you must know that my hometown is also the hometown of Master Merlin and the dragon." ”
Speaking of this, Steward James also winked playfully.
"Would you like to see the dragon if you could?"
Cheng Kong smiled, this James butler still has the vitality of a young man.
"Oh, I want to see it, but I don't want the dragon to wreak havoc on Achilles Island. Dear master, you don't want to summon a dragon with these brimstone, do you? ”
How can James butler say that he is also a winner of three degrees, Cheng Kong said this, he guessed a little, but he did feel that Mr. Matsumae was a little paranoid?
Want to summon a dragon with brimstone?
My God, he can't be crazy, right?
"And I want you to keep it a secret about what happened next?"
Cheng Kong smiled, and then walked into the No. 1 warehouse.
James' butler has an urge to stop his master from going crazy, but until the master doesn't play himself to death, it is impossible for James, as a housekeeper, to stop his master's move.
This is just like the Hemingway who wrote about the old man and the sea, before he broke his leg while playing, his housekeeper didn't dissuade anything, but after Hemingway broke his leg, he gently persuaded him, but this didn't stop Hemingway from playing himself to death.
Steward James followed Cheng Kong into the No. 1 warehouse without any hesitation.
As soon as he walked into Warehouse No. 1, he almost screamed, when a cup emitted a red light appeared on the owner's arm, and with the red light, the mountain of sulfur plastic barrels in the warehouse began to disappear rapidly.
Cheng Kong had a trace of solemnity on his face at this time.
The sulfur in the Lord's World is indeed useful for the Red Dragon Cup, but the problem is that the amount required is too large.
The sulfur, along with the plastic buckets containing the sulfur, was melted and absorbed by the red light, and dozens of vats disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There is no doubt that the sulfur in the Lord's realm is somewhat different from the sulfur in the Heroic realm, just like the difference between wood spirits and ordinary wood.
Wood essence, don't look at such a small one, but it is the essence extracted from dozens, hundreds of woods.
Of course, the sulfur in Zhu Shilu's realm could be absorbed by the Red Dragon Cup, and Cheng Kong also felt very satisfied. That's at least a lot better than not being able to use it.
Cheng Kong's movements in the No. 1 warehouse soon took the old horse, Toyotomi Koji. Li Guanxi and others were lured.
Seeing these masters coming, Steward James hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Lao Ma waved his hand, stopped Steward James' salute, and then glanced at Warehouse No. 1, and dragged Steward James out, and also wanted to go in Li Guanxi. Toyotomi Koji and the two stopped.
Butler James said with some hesitation: "Mr. Matsuzen won't have an accident inside, right?" ”
It can be seen from here that Steward James's loyalty to Cheng Kong is not low, and the guy with low loyalty should consider whether the secret he has seen his master will be extinguished at this time.
Lao Ma's words were also a little trance-like: "Hmm." I don't know about that. We'll just wait. ”
Steward James was a little anxious, and every few seconds he looked into Warehouse No. 1.
Soon the barrel of sulfur in the small half of the warehouse was sucked out, and with a large amount of sulfur being sucked up by the Red Dragon Cup.
The thirst emanating from the Red Dragon's Cup was quickly satisfied, and a large fiery red light door emerged from Warehouse One.
OK. This warehouse is very large. The height alone is more than 20 meters, and it is completely a standard military combat warehouse, otherwise, this light door alone can burst the top of the warehouse.
Lao Ma was a little shocked when he saw this scene, he originally thought that Cheng Kong wanted to try the transformation of the red dragon in the main world, but what he never expected was that he actually wanted to summon the red dragon out!
The light gate is difficult to open, and it is not as easy as in the world of heroes. The light gate looms, and it seems that it may collapse at any time.
But in the end. The light door stabilized, emitting a soft red glow.
"Who is calling the great Haber. Caesar. Clay Ostraz! ”
A loud and high-pitched voice came from the other side of the light gate, shaking Warehouse No. 1.
As for Steward James's face, his face turned a little pale.
At the same time as this voice poured out of the light door was an incomparable coercion, which made Steward James like a worm in a raging storm, with the possibility of extinguishing the fire of life at any time.
This is the dragon's coercion over other creatures, called the dragon's power, this dragon's power is not only to frighten the enemy to immobilize, but the weak ones will even die on their own in this mental shock.
This is also because the dragon does not bathe, but there are no blood-sucking insects around the body.
The old horse was observing Steward James at any time, and when he saw that Steward James was holding his chest, he hurriedly pulled him behind him, his eyes widened, and a shallow layer of yellow light immediately spread out from the old horse's body, blocking the dragon power that rushed like a tsunami.
As for the guy Koji Toyotomi, he had already run far away in a long way before he dared to turn his head to look at this side, but Li Guanxi stood up straight, bearing such a dragon impact.
Steward James was pulled behind by the old horse, and it was like a beetle hiding in a safe tree hole in a raging storm, and all the storms were blocked by the old horse's solid body.
Steward James glanced at Lao Ma gratefully, but Lao Ma didn't have time to pay attention to Steward James' thanks at this time, but yelled towards the No. 1 warehouse: "Cheng Kong! Don't play, you kid, speed is done! Do you want to turn this place into a no-man's land? ”
At this time, the old horse couldn't care about it.
Cheng Kong snorted, and then threw the vat of sulfur into the light gate.
Soon, a voice of joy came from inside the light gate: "What is this?" When mixed with sulfur, it tastes good. ”
"It's prawline candy!" Cheng Kong laughed and threw a few more buckets of sulfur into it.
"Sandwiches? Well, great Haber. Caesar. Claostraz has decided to answer your call! ”
There is no doubt that the sandwich candy that Cheng Kong is talking about is this barrel of sulfur, and the other end is called Haber. Caesar. The dragon of Claiostraz is intrigued by the plastic bucket used to hold the sulfur, and thus responds to Cheng Kong's call.
As these words fell, a huge dragon head emerged from within the light gate, followed by a slender and graceful dragon neck, a fat belly, a wide dragon wing, and a thick dragon tail.
"O'O's buy Kad! It's really a dragon! ”
Steward James poked his head out from behind the old horse and saw this scene. His face turned snow-white, and his mouth couldn't help but exclaim, and he felt that his mind went blank for a moment. Both legs are almost unsteady.
As soon as the huge beast stepped out of the light gate, the red light gate immediately collapsed and dissipated into the air.
The giant dragon stepped out of the light gate, and the huge body almost filled the warehouse, and Cheng Kong wanted to come out, so he could only let the dragon lie down honestly and crawl out of the dragon's back.
"Stay here honestly and don't move. These are your snacks, so let's do it first. ”
After Cheng Kong commanded the red dragon twice, he patted his ass and walked out of the No. 1 warehouse. Then he closed the door of the warehouse, keeping Steward James' eyes out.
Truth be told, Steward James was really worried that the dragon's anger would overturn the warehouse and turn the residential area into a doomsday ruin.
But what happened next surprised him. The red dragon did exactly what its master commanded. The entire warehouse didn't make a single movement, if it weren't for the fact that he had seen the dragon before, such a quiet warehouse almost made him have an illusion.
Well, until he returned to Cheng Kong's villa, Steward James felt that his legs were still trembling.
No, although I accepted this fact, the terrifying power that the dragon brings. Still spreading in the mind of Steward James.
To be honest, Steward James's performance was already outstanding.
Replace it with another person. Not to mention being scared to death when they met, at least now it is absolute that they can't move.
Not to mention this dragon, even if you suddenly see a colorful tiger, ordinary people have weak legs, not to mention this red dragon with a length of more than 30 meters.
When they arrived in the living room, Cheng Kong motioned for everyone to sit down.
For the first time, Butler James didn't abide by his housekeeping rules, so he found a small sofa next to him, and sat on it with his legs weak.
It wasn't until sitting on the sofa that Butler James felt that his heart fell to the ground, and after sitting for a while, Butler James suddenly felt that no one was talking in the room, and when he looked up, he saw everyone staring at him, and he couldn't help but blush, and then he was about to stand up, but he was pressed down by Koji Toyotomi.
It's miserable, can't it be that you are going to kill people when you see the secret?
Steward James immediately had some rumors in his mind that he had heard, and his heart couldn't help but pound.
"James, you can sit down, it's all your own people here, don't be so polite, as you can imagine, we all have some mysterious powers, if you are scared, you can leave, I will return the contract to you."
Cheng Kong laughed.
Steward James is not a person who has never seen the world, he knows the secret, and he still lets himself go? The devil believes it.
But flipping it over, his master has such a mysterious power, and he is a housekeeper, and his future development prospects are limitless.
Butler James was excited, and without the slightest consideration, he immediately stood up: "Mr. Matsumae, as your butler, even if I am afraid, I will stand by the master's side." ”
Steward James expressed his loyalty in more euphemistic terms.
To be honest, Cheng Kong really wasn't worried that Steward James would reveal his secrets.
The kind of big mouth that shouts when nothing happens, there are still very few in this world.
The higher the quality, the less likely it is to leak secrets, as can be seen from Toyotomi Koji's teacher and housekeeper Tokugawa Keikiyo.
"Well, in the future, you can call me Mr. Cheng, call this Mr. Ma, this Mr. Li, and that one is still Mr. Toyotomi."
Since it was spread out, Cheng Kong didn't want to be called that Matsuzen's Himaru surname every day, so he immediately changed his name back in front of Steward James.
"Yes, I'll let you know."
Steward James bowed slightly and nodded.
"By the way, in order to ensure your safety outside, Koji, I heard Li Guanxi say, how many ogres did you bring out?"
Cheng Kong smiled, then turned to Toyotomi Koji and asked.
Koji Toyotomi nodded hurriedly, slapped his face, and walked in from outside the living room.
Although these big fat men are surprisingly fat, they have steady steps, and the only problem is that they walk on the floor, and the floor vibrates.
Li Guanxi's resources and gold coins are stored and ready to be used for the renovation of the farm, but Toyotomi Hiroshi still has some idle gold coins in his second-hand hand, so after entering the hero world this time, Toyotomi Koji copied a few ogres he recruited last time, and prepared to use them as meat shields in the main world.
"That's the case. They're under the command of Steward Jeffrey, and Steward James needs a few bodyguards to go outside. ”
Cheng Kong took away the ogre that Toyotomi Koji had worked so hard to copy with a word, and Toyotomi Koji wanted to say something. But he seemed to think of something again, and then he kept silent, but he remembered the surprise that Cheng Kong said, if he protested, Cheng Kong would take the surprise back, wouldn't he be going to cry?
"Xie Luxie, Mr. Cheng!"
Steward James hurriedly thanked. Not to mention whether these fat people have the ability to protect themselves, or whether they are here to spy on themselves, the rewards of the masters are all to be thanked.
After assigning the ogre to Steward James. Cheng Kong waved his hand and asked Steward James to leave with the ogre.
All kinds of instruments and medicines needed by botanists also needed Steward James to go to Europe to order, and his time was not as free as Cheng Kong.
After Steward James left with the ogre, Cheng Kong immediately arranged the next step.
After entering the world of heroes next time. Each of them has to copy some farmers from the world of heroes. Spearmen, pirates and other low-level troops come out.
In order to make up for the shortage of manpower on the island.
Although more servants could be recruited, this was not a good thing for the secrecy of Achilles Island, and Cheng Kong planned to develop a small half of Achilles Island for growing grain and raising pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock.
Achilles Island is located in the tropics, and the climate is very good, if you grow food. It can be harvested three times a year, even if there are some problems. The food grown is also able to sustain the island's supply.
As for the high-level troops, they are not needed for the time being, everyone's gold coins are useful, and just Cheng Kong copied the remaining three dark knights, which is enough for the time being.
Besides, if the security company can be handled in Guinea, then Lao Ma can summon a few warships and hand them over to the copied pirates.
In this way, as long as it is not at odds with several major powers, the security of Achilles Island should not be too problematic.
Of course, in addition to the points raised by Cheng Kong, Lao Ma also put forward a few points, and the meeting lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
After the meeting, Cheng Kong asked Toyotomi Koji to go to the kitchen to pack the intestines, minced meat, etc. from the scraps, and then everyone went to the undeveloped primitive area.
It's a tropical island habitat, with tall rainforests overgrown with plants that barely fit your feet.
Cheng Kong chose a random place, cleaned up the dense shrubs, vines, small flowers and grasses, and then took out some of the things in the space bag.
A few yellowish vines, a small piece of turf, a few slightly dry fruits that still give off an attractive aroma, and sharp and hard seeds, etc.
"These are the man-eating plants you scraped in the Rift Valley?"
The old horse probed over and took a look, to be honest, these things looked too inconspicuous, except for those few fruits with a strange fragrance, the others can be found everywhere on this island.
"This is a man-eating plant? Let me see? ”
Toyotomi Koji was so curious that his fingers grabbed at the vine that was placed on the ground.
Sensing the approach of the meat, the vines that originally looked lifeless and crooked erupted in an astonishing move, and in an instant, Toyotomi Koji's fingers were entangled.
"Baga!" Toyotomi Koji only felt as if his fingers were caught in a vice, although he would not let his fingers be scrapped in a short time, but the horror made him anxious, and after scolding, he wanted to tear off the vines.
"Stop!" Cheng Kong, who was letting Li Guanxi dig a pit, rushed over with a single arrow step, grabbed Toyotomi Koji firmly, made him unable to move, and then carefully used a small piece of minced meat to get next to the vine.
The vine then let go of Koji Toyotomi's fingers, turned around and wound the minced meat, and then began to secrete corrosive fluid and digest it.
Cheng Kong glared at Toyotomi Koji: "Stinky boy, go and help Li Guanxi dig a pit, you kid almost made me work in vain." ”
What are you kidding, I brought out so many cannibal vines from the hero world, and I don't know if I can survive on this island, if I am really torn apart by Toyotomi Koji, the success rate will be even lower.
After Toyotomi Koji was scolded by Cheng Kong, he honestly carried a shovel to accompany Li Guanxi.
Lao Ma saw the strangulation marks on Toyotomi Koji's fingers, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This cannibal vine is still a little powerful." ”
Cheng Kong smiled and began to put some intestines under the water. Minced meat and other pieces were put into the pit where they had been dug, and then a section of vines was put in and filled with soil.
Joke. In the Great Rift Valley, I saw with my own eyes that thousands of barbaric troops were killed by these man-eating plants.
These man-eating plants are not as fragile and comparable as ordinary plants.
As the vines were lowered into the pit and filled with dirt, a thin wriggling sound was heard underneath it, presumably eating the man-eating vines.
Subsequently, Cheng Kong put the remaining man-eating plants into the pit one by one. Put in the intestines, minced meat, and fill with soil.
The distance between each pit is about fifteen meters. This is to prevent these man-eating plants from not having enough room to grow.
After doing all this, Cheng Kong put up several warning signs in this area to prevent those servants from accidentally breaking into this area.
With the strength of ordinary people, they are targeted by these man-eating plants. I'm afraid there will be a lot of deaths. Live less.
After all this, back at the villa, Cheng Kong opened his notebook and connected to the Internet, flipped through various portals, and learned some news.
No, living on this island of Achilles is basically isolated from the outside world.
If you don't look at the news, Cheng Kong is really worried that he will derail the times in the future.
Well? Somali piracy is on the rise? (Hmm.) The time of the world in this book does not fully correspond to the real time, so please study the information party and you don't need to study it. Just read the book and have fun. )
Somalia is not very far from Achilles Island, so the news around it naturally aroused Cheng Kong's interest, and then he read it carefully.
It turned out that with the continuous war in Somalia, the Somali government only had control over the capital, and 20 miles away from the capital, it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Somali government.
It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe Somalia as a poor people.
If you are poor, you can't even afford to eat, and you will starve to death, but the Somali people will not starve to death honestly.
Therefore, whether it is fishermen or farmers who can't afford to eat, they have all gone to the sea and started a side business.
What side hustle? Pirate!
At first, they were all swarmed, but with the passage of time, now Somali pirates have formed hundreds of large and small groups, from reconnaissance and intelligence to the preparation of arms, interception and hijacking of ships, extortion of ransom and so on.
By this time, the pirate team had become the new icon of the Somali coast, and the ransom they extorted back had led to a freaked boom in the coastal economy.
If any teenager shows that he wants to be a pirate, the commissary will provide the teenager with the most basic guns and ammunition and even a boat, and of course, in return, the teenager who joins the pirate will have to give 30 to 40 percent of the money he will receive in the future to the creditor.
Want to raise a family? Want to make a fortune? No problem, join us as Somali redhead pirates, right? Such advertisements have been blatantly appearing along the Somali coast for several years.
From quantitative change to qualitative change, all this has only passed a few years.
It's all a good thing that Lao Mei has done.
Cheng Kong flipped through the sea kidnapping cases that had occurred during this time, and couldn't help but shake his head, more than 30 giant oil tankers had been hijacked, and there were hundreds of smaller cargo ships.
Several countries have already begun to send warships to escort the ship.
Cheng Kong is just watching the news, as for the righteous indignation, forget it, this is not robbing his own boat, besides, the Somali people are also living a hard life, what is there to eat a little big?
Cheng Kong is now completely a good person's mentality, but it didn't take long for his mentality to change.
This was something he had never expected.
"Cheng Kong, Cheng Kong." The old horse's voice came in, and he looked a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Kong felt a little curious, Lao Ma has always been known for his stability, why did he become like this at this time.
Cheng Kong walked out of the conference hall and was almost knocked over by the old horse that rushed in.
"Our ship has been hijacked!"
The old horse then dropped a bomb.
"How so? Aren't all our ships anchored in the harbor? And no one drove out to play, how could they be robbed? Could it be the ship that James' butler came back from? ”
Cheng Kong was a little puzzled, he couldn't imagine that what ship he had been robbed of?
It can't be such a coincidence, right? I just watched the news about Somali pirates, and someone moved on my head.
"Not James' steward's ship. It was the cargo ship of the Chinese COSCO Group that was hijacked. ”
The old horse replied with a heavy breath.
"A cargo ship of the China COSCO Group?" Cheng Kong smiled, patted the old horse's shoulder, and teased: "The old horse." You are not the secretary of the county party committee of County A now, let alone the CEO of Sino-Ocean Group, so excited? When the sky falls, there are tall people on top of it, and it's impossible for us guys who have been kicked out to come forward to save people, right? ”
Since he couldn't go back to China, Cheng Kong is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he thinks of us when something happens?
But then Lao Ma's words made Cheng Kong jump: "You are right, but the problem is that the chef invited from China is on that boat." You can't make everyone eat barbecue every day, right? Besides, Li Guanxi asked his wife and son to come over, and they were also on this boat. ”
"Damn. You didn't say it earlier! Kansai, Koji came over at speed, by the way, where is the chart? Oh. That's right. in the conference hall. ”
Cheng Kong hurriedly found the chart hanging on the conference hall for a while, and then pulled the old horse to him and asked, "Where is the sea area where they had an accident, mark it for me." ”
Lao Ma picked up a red pen and tapped it somewhere in the Red Sea: "According to the information transmitted back from China, this is it." ”
Cheng Kong looked at it, remembered the location of the accident in his mind, and then pulled the old horse and galloped all the way out of the city, and saw Li Guanxi who came over. After Toyotomi Koji, he left Li Kansai to be in charge of the security of Achilles Island: "Kansai." You stay, we're going to have something to do. ”
"Oh, that's good, Master."
Li Guanxi didn't know what was going on at sea, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
After Cheng Kong pulled the old horse and whispered a few commands, he completely ignored the shocked eyes of several servants, made the giant mantis bigger, and gently jumped on the back of the mantis, and then the giant mantis jumped lightly, jumped into the air, and disappeared into the sky.
And Lao Ma went to the port to start the yacht and went to sea with Toyotomi Koji, which was regarded as a backup response.
Somewhere in the Red Sea, a freighter of more than 3,000 tons was engaged in a struggle with several small boats, while in the distance a fishing boat of more than 300 tons was watching from afar.
Don't think that fishing boat is a passerby, it's the mother ship of these pirate boats.
To put it simply, Somali pirates, whether large or small, use a mother ship as a base of operations.
To put it bluntly, a mother ship plus a few small boats is a basic pirate squad.
Mother ships are usually owned by the upper echelons of the pirate team, and when they take those pirate boats to the deep sea, they will release the boats when they see fat, just like wolf pack tactics.
After hijacking the cargo ship and returning to port, the ransom received will be divided into three parts, 20 percent to the pirate team leader, 40 percent to the owner of the mother ship, and 40 percent to the pirates who drive the small boat.
Of course, the pirates also had to pay off their share to the creditors who supplied the weapons and ships.
In fact, the pirates at the bottom could not make a lot of money from this, of course, it was enough to eat, drink and be merry, and when the money was squandered, they would board the mother ship and go to the deep sea to show their sharp teeth and find new prey.
Of course, these Somali pirates are a little better than the famous Caribbean pirates.
That is, if it is not a last resort, the hostages will not be killed.
After all, these Somali pirates live in a much better environment at sea than Caribbean pirates.
The Pirates of the Caribbean, however, had to risk being caught and hanged by the navies of various countries to attack the passing cargo ships.
As for the Somali pirates, the navies of various countries have not paid attention to them now, and what they are asking for is ransom, so the safety of the hostages and the safety of the goods, they are still very concerned.
Of course, no matter what, being targeted by a group of pirates, not a single captain, seafarer, passenger will be in a good mood.
"Da Da Da!"
A string of AK bullets came at the small boat, splashing a barrage of sparks on the steel hull.
"Uncle Caohe!" The crew, under the command of the captain, fought back with high-pressure water cannons and swept away the small boat that tried to get close to the gang.
This is a contest of will and strength.
To tell the truth, this cargo ship suffered a lot from the pirate ship.
Although those small ships will be reduced to pieces when they are hit by a freighter, the speed and agility of the small boat are not comparable to that of a freighter, and even if the freighter wants to hit it, it has no chance.
The most critical problem is that people have guns in their hands and bazookas, and you crash into them and try it?
