Lawrence chatted with Zhang Lin and the others for a long time, until Zhang Lin learned enough information, and everyone dispersed satisfied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info On the second day, Zhang Lin saw the sailors who were rescued by Lawrence, all of them were sailors of the Edward, they were very happy to see Zhang Lin, when Zhang Lin asked them what they wanted to do, they all decided to follow Zhang Lin, this is the trust established in so many wars, they believe that Zhang Lin can lead them to glory!
On the Wandering armed merchant ship, Zhang Lin has been pondering, considering the causes and consequences, it is very likely that this attack was deliberately planned by someone, and now the imperial capital should be in chaos.
The imperial capital of the Reims Empire, Wilhelm II was furious when he heard that Zhang Lin and Avril's merchant ships were attacked, and ordered to pursue the pirate at all costs, and the Reims Imperial Navy began to patrol frantically, but no pirate ship was found in the waters of the Reims Empire, and then Wilhelm II began to investigate whether there were traitors in the imperial capital, or suspicious families or people.
Young Master Reagan was soon suspected by His Majesty the Emperor, although there was no reason, but His Majesty the Emperor still needed a reason to arrest people? The young master Reagan was directly arrested by the special agency, and the old Reagan was anxious when he found out, and hurriedly went to the emperor to plead in front of His Majesty, but Wilhelm II ignored him at all and asked the old Reagan to go back, saying that he would investigate clearly, and would not investigate anyone for no reason, nor would he charge a person with random security.
When the elder Reagan returned, he couldn't sit still at all, and ran around, hoping to get his grandson out, but in vain.
After a few days, Master Reagan was finally released, but the whole person was inhuman, his eyes were blood-red, he had no look, and the whole person was depressed, which shows how Reagan was abused, but Reagan in order to survive, no matter what kind of abuse he received, he did not let go at all, and William II had no evidence, if Little Reagan was killed, the old Reagan was afraid that he would rebel, and after weighing it again, William II put Little Reagan back, and Little Reagan was tortured to the point of insanity, and someone came to arrest him all day long.
After sailing at sea for nearly a month, the Wanderer docked at other ports a few times to replenish the living supplies on board, during which Zhang Lin took Avril down to buy a few clothes, and then the Wanderer never docked at the port again!
"Mr. Zhang Lin, we will be at the Rakichfei seaport in Beiyangzhou in one day, where we will deliver to the Pirate Alliance, then buy some supplies, and then leave to sell in other countries, do you have any plans now?" Lawrence asked Zhang Lin, "If you don't think about what to do now, I suggest that you recruit a group of sailors first, and then buy a battleship, so that you can survive better!" ”
"Thank you Captain Lawrence, I know how to do it, thank you for your advice, it inspired me a lot!" Zhang Lin thanked Lawrence: "I don't know if Captain Lawrence knows the powerful arms dealers here?" I need to talk to an arms dealer and buy a battleship by the way! ”
"Of course, I can introduce you to an arms dealer, he is the most powerful arms dealer here, of course it is very expensive to buy a warship here, I hope you can accept this, because the pirates here are very rich, so the arms dealer has increased the price by almost forty percent, you must know that the gold of a warship is not a small amount, so I want to remind you!" Lawrence is very worried that Zhang Lin doesn't have so much money, the arms dealers here are very black-hearted, like parasites, once you buy a battleship, then the subsequent ammunition, maintenance, repairs, etc. are all controlled by the arms dealers, and they make money the fastest and the most methodical!
In fact, Zhang Lin has long wanted to understand these things, every fool of the arms dealer, the truth of strange goods Zhang Lin understands, when he married Avril before, a large number of people came to bless him, and he received a lot of gift money, almost all of which were in Zhang Lin's hands, Avril never cared about these "Then please Captain Lawrence, do you know where to recruit sailors?" I need people! ”
"Sailors can be found here in the dead places, which means that people here are born with the goal of sailing, and have been trained in the operation of some warships since childhood, but ......" Lawrence said again.
Zhang Lin was curious why Lawrence didn't go on, "Captain Lawrence, please explain, but what?" ”
"Alas, Mr. Zhang Lin, maybe what I said to you before hurt you, do you know? The people here are very cunning, they will not be loyal to you because you hired him, the people here, you also know that there is only profit in the eyes, there is no friendship at all, many pirate leaders have made their fortunes in this way, they were originally hired by others, but they killed their employers and became masters, such things happen every day, these guys know that they will not end well at all, so every time they come back from the sea, they squander the gold coins they robbed, and the materials are sold at the cheapest price, That's why I'm here to buy supplies, I'm a businessman, and it's only natural for businessmen to pursue profits, and it's understandable! Lawrence sighed, "Mr. Zhang Lin, why don't you go with me, although there is no such great opportunity in other places, but I will not give away my life, with Mr. Zhang Lin's wealth, I will definitely live a good life!" ”
Zhang Lin will not forget the feeling that others were swordsmen and I was fish and flesh at that time, nor will he forget what Tang Xue said to himself at that time, let alone his delay in the war, which caused so many innocent people to lose their lives, risks and opportunities coexist, if you really want to live a life in peace, Zhang Lin will not take Avril to say goodbye to the imperial capital, where Zhang Lin will enjoy the best life, but Zhang Lin is not that kind of person, he wants to control the order by himself, and build a world where people can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone is equal, He is willing to pay a heavy price for this, because he wants to take his beloved to live truly unrestrained!
"Captain Lawrence, you don't need to convince me, I've already decided, I need to be here!" Zhang Lin's eyes were very firm, and when he looked at Lawrence, he made Lawrence feel terrible, and thought to himself, maybe he underestimated this young man!
"Captain Lawrence, thank you very much for taking care of us along the way, I can't repay you, please take this first." Zhang Lin took out a gold card and handed it to Lawrence, when Lawrence looked at this gold card, he was shocked, this gold card needs to deposit at least 500,000 gold coins before the World Bank will handle it for you, and it also needs an identity, otherwise no matter how much money you deposit, the World Bank will not handle it for you, Lawrence feels that he has never looked away for so many years, but this time he didn't see this handsome young man clearly!
"Mr. Zhang Lin, I can't ask for your gold card, although businessmen seek profits, but I won't ask for any money that shouldn't be taken, that's why I can live here unharmed until now, not to mention that you need money more than me now!" Lawrence refused.
"It's not for nothing, captain, I think you know of a place from which you can recruit sailors who are truly affectionate, and I need these, and this is your reward." Zhang Lin said.
But Lawrence still refuses to accept "I know, but I still can't ......"
"Okay, don't excuse yourself." After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he stuffed the gold card into Lawrence's hand, Lawrence sighed in his heart, so he had to accept it first!
After Zhang Lin looked at Lawrence's subordinates, he felt a little better in his heart, Zhang Lin didn't want to repay him with this money, but if he didn't do anything, Zhang Lin would definitely feel very uncomfortable in his heart, after doing this, at least he would not be an ungrateful person if he had an accident in the future!
Zhang Lin greeted Lawrence and left, he is now going to greet Delin and the others to tell them the current decision, let them decide whether to go or stay, Zhang Lin who follows him is very welcome, after all, they are brothers who are born and die, Zhang Lin believes in them very much, and if he is not willing to stay, Zhang Lin will not stop them, everyone has their own ambitions, let them decide for themselves, and they can't interfere with their will!
Zhang Lin borrowed a conference room from Lawrence, where he waited for the sailors of the Edward, Delin was the first to arrive, and then the others all arrived in less than three minutes, Zhang Lin looked at all the people, and asked everyone to sit down, "I have a very important decision now, I want to discuss it with you, there is about our current situation, and the way forward, I hope you will make your own decision from the heart, I will not force everyone!" ”
"Please make it clear, sir!" Delin was the first to speak, and the other sailors all looked at Zhang Lin, waiting for Zhang Lin's answer!
"Let me tell you about the current situation!" Zhang Lin told everyone present about the situation that Lawrence told him, and then adjusted his emotions and tried to calm himself down, "Now I will tell you my decision, I want to start a career here, I am willing to stay, Zhang Lin welcomes him, if you don't want to stay, I can give him a sum of money, so that he can at least live without worry in the future, don't worry about making a decision first, think about it carefully, after all, you have just known the situation here, it is very chaotic, and you will lose your life at any time, After thinking about it, tell me about your decision, I'll wait for you! Zhang Lin sat down and began to wait for the sailors' answers.
The conference room fell silent, everyone was bowing their heads and pondering, thinking about their own decisions, time passed minute by minute, Zhang Lin waited patiently, after all, he had also thought about it for a long time before making such a decision, these sailors should consider the cause and effect, and make the most real decision in their hearts!
A long time passed, and Delin was the first to stand up, "Sir, I've thought about it, I've decided to go with you!" ”
Then all the sailors stood up and "swear to follow the commander to the death, and never regret it!" ”
Zhang Lin was very moved, now is the time for him to employ people, but there is no one who can be fully trusted, but the sailors of the Edward are different, these people can be completely trusted and will not betray themselves, and they are also undead veterans who have experienced brutal naval battles, which is the most precious!
Zhang Lin bowed deeply to all the sailors of the Edward, "Thank you, Zhang Lin is very grateful, we will definitely be able to build a meritorious career!" ”
