Chapter 161: People die for money, and birds die for food
"Comrade Navy, go back quickly."
"Yes, we're all grateful to you. But we can't help but listen to the captain's orders. ”
Chen Ming stepped on the container at the stern of the ship, listening to the words of the crew members who gathered around. Suddenly, an evil fire burst out of my heart.
Three minutes have passed since Chen Mingsuo descended. Even the crew could gather around, but the captain of the cargo ship who left the team without permission refused to show his face.
Although there was a helicopter hovering overhead, the noise from the propellers made Chen Ming not very clear what some of the crew members were saying. But intermittently, I also roughly figured out the truth about the door number leaving the team without permission.
At present, the escort formation is traveling from south to north, which is against the current and the speed of the ship will be slowed down, so in order to ensure the formation navigation, the speed limit is 12 knots. This is also the common sailing speed of escort formations of various countries.
However, as a new type of freighter, it can run at a speed of 15.16 knots, and even reach a speed of 18 knots when sailing downstream.
Seeing that he was about to sail out of the Gulf of Aden, the captain of the Gate, who thought that there was no threat, had no patience to maintain a speed of 12 knots.
The gate is a public-private joint stock freighter belonging to a trading company in Hong Kong. In order to expand the size of the freighter fleet and improve market competitiveness, the company has come up with a policy of joint stock with the captain.
The company, together with the captain and employees above the rank of chief officer, jointly financed the purchase of the freighter. In this way, not only can the turnover rate of the captains, who are the backbone of the company, be reduced, but the size of the fleet that was originally planned to be expanded can be doubled, and the captains and first officers can now receive an additional share of the income in addition to the salary income.
After the introduction of such a policy, the company's shipping efficiency has been greatly improved. After all, the captains used to run for the company, but now they run for themselves. In order to make more money, the road can not stop without stopping, just to run a few more times.
The policy is a good policy, but now, it is a bad thing.
Chen Ming's face was gloomy and terrifying. All people are dying for money, birds are dying for food, and they see that they can sail out of the Gulf of Aden in a few hours, but they don't even have to wait for these few hours
Dangerous driving in escort formations, and also refusing to receive communication signals from escort formations.
With our hard work, we have traveled thousands of miles from China to come here to escort you. Then it's better for you to forget if you don't appreciate it. It's as if our naval escort formation is a slave that you call and come and go? When you need protection, lean over and rub it for protection. When you're about to leave the danger zone, then leave on your own?
I stood on the container and waited for 8 minutes, and saw that the captain still did not come out. And at this time, the gate number was about to rush to the side of the 169 ship, which was the result of the 169 ship speeding up.
The door number has one more crime in Chen Ming's heart. Because of his own selfishness, the entire escort formation is now in chaos.
Jump out of the container and look around at the crew who are persuading you. Chen Ming barely suppressed his anger and asked.
"Where's your captain's quarters?"
The crew was speechless. Chen Ming originally wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he forgot it.
These people who are thousands of miles away from home and begging for a living at sea are actually just poor people who can't live some days. Now they told themselves that they would never have a good life in the future.
"Command, I'd like to know the captain's room seat for the door number."
Chen Ming asked, holding down the headset. He suddenly thought of the merchant ships participating in the escort formation, and the ship structure drawings all needed to be submitted to the escort formation.
This was done in order to facilitate the rescue of the escort special operators in the event of a hijacking of a merchant ship. It's just that I didn't expect that the first time I used the ship structure diagram, it was because of this kind of.
"The first staircase outside the foredeck of the door number, up to the third floor. The middle room is the captain's wheelhouse. ”
The message from the command of the escort formation was quickly delivered.
"Chen Ming, pay attention to controlling your emotions. Negotiate patiently. ”
"Okay, I will."
While going upstairs, Chen Ming replied in the headset.
Seeing Chen Ming walking straight towards the captain's room, the rest of the crew did not stop him. After all, they have persuaded everything they can. In fact, their hearts are not comfortable, and no one wants to be a white-eyed wolf.
Finding the cab, Chen Ming knocked on the door and got no reply. But through the glass of the cockpit, Chen Ming could clearly see that the captain of the door number was inside.
"Open the door! People inside, open the door! ”
Chen Ming shouted as he knocked on the door.
The captain in the wheelhouse stared at the sea ahead. Pretend to be very serious about directing the ship.
"I'm telling you, do you think you're so smart? If you continue to insist on going your own way, the Navy escort group will no longer accept your escort application in the future. Not only the door number, but all the freighters of your company no longer enjoy the escort of the Navy. ”
After Chen Ming finished shouting this sentence, he passed through the window. Chen Ming could clearly notice that there were mood swings in the expressions of the crew members in the wheelhouse.
Indeed, their travel to and from the Gulf of Aden is not a one-shot deal. If this anger provokes the escort group and no longer provides them with escorts in the future, then they will always face the threat of pirates in their future voyages.
As for not going to the Gulf of Aden. I'm sorry, but the time and economic cost of the detour to the Cape of Good Hope are not allowed by other companies, and the captain who now owns the shares cannot accept this himself.
Just when Chen Ming thought that this sentence would be effective, a person in captain's costume seemed to say something to the people in the wheelhouse. Then he continued to sail out of the formation, and Chen Ming also saw that the helmsman pushed the car clock to a full state.
Now it was Chen Ming's turn to wonder. What do you mean by this group of people? I should understand it very clearly. This kind of trade-off, even students know how to choose, what is it that gives the door number the courage to do so?
Liang Jingru?
Seeing that the gate number was speeding up, the bow of the ship had already crossed the 169 ship. Chen Ming gritted his teeth, took out the pistol on his waist and loaded it, aiming at the glass of the cab window.
"Chen Ming! Lay down your arms and come back. ”
"Chief, then they ..... like that"
"Come back! This is an order, and when we get back, we will discuss this matter again. ”
Chen Ming listened to the words in the headset, and then looked at the looming mockery on the face of the captain sitting in the wheelhouse. Resisting the urge to shoot, he closed the pistol safety and inserted it into his lower back.
Chen Ming, who walked downstairs, climbed onto a container on the foredeck. When the helicopter that lowered the soft ladder hovers overhead, jump up and grab the soft ladder.
Instead of climbing slowly, he hung on a soft ladder. At the same time said to the pilot in the headset.
"Go to the 169 ship!"
